STRATEGY
The Board will consider the following criteria in assessing the viability of potential acquisition targets:
• Be profitable or have the potential to become profitable
• Have assets
• Exhibit strong cash flow
• Have deferred consideration or earn out may be available
• Have existing management that will stay on during the acquisition process
While the Company does not currently have any acquisitions under formal consideration, it expects that it will target those in the range of £1-£10 million. Subsequent to its initial acquisition, the Company may explore the potential for further acquisitions in order to provide finance and operational leverage.
