BUY AGYS @ $8.40

Agilysys Inc. (NASDAQ--AGYS)

Valuation-$16.10
Price January 18, 2013-$8.40
AGYS is just the kind of stock we like. Software, almost a 50% discount to our valuation and over 40% of the market cap supported by cash.
AGYS is in the middle of a turnaround. It lost a bunch money in 2011 and 2012 (YE March 31) and looks like it is about to turn the corner to being profitable. For its September 30, 2012 quarter it reported a loss of $.02 a share on a GAAP basis and made $.06 on a Non-GAAP basis.
MAK Capital One owes about 32% of AGYS and three other funds own about 21% in total.
Gross margins are about 40% and they have $3.53 of cash per share and no debt.
We think this is a BUY here.
There are about 22 million shares outstanding but it trades only about 30,000 shares a day, so patient buying is needed.
