Dec 11, 2007 8:45:00 AM
SOMERSET, N.J., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Somerset-based AWT, Inc. (OTC: AWTM) today announced that it has agreed to sale terms of its first acquisition target. The transaction includes a cash payment upon transfer of ownership.
The company said it will finance the deal with cash-on-hand.
AWT expects to accept final transfer of ownership of the company at the beginning of 2008. The deal "will provide AWT with a solid footing for 2008 and a cash flow positive asset to continue to build upon," Christopher J. Neill, chief executive officer of the company, said in a statement.
The healthcare supplier projects this asset should grow to approximately $700,000 in revenue and $266,000 for income in 2008. "The owner has been running his business for nearly 20 years and is now retiring. We wish him well. The overall operation we are acquiring has been small for many years, but we plan to change that. With our revenue model in place the purchasing efficiency alone will substantially increase our overall income margins," stated Neill.
Under the agreements, both companies are unable to speak directly regarding the specific terms prior to the closing of the acquisition.
