For this merger (cough) to be of any 'real' value, E-E has to have one of the following or they are just a nice small mom & pop business.
- Patents to technologies
- Researchable ideas of value that will grow the company or entice another to buy it. This is where grants are available for research.
- A distribution channel that is growing exponentially or the ability to obtain corporate or gov contracts.
My friend, who is an accountant for a chemical company, constantly tells me stories of how this company is nothing but a grant machine. They produce very little in way of research information, but live entirely on gov grants. Were talking the $10M+ year area. So it can be done. The guy down the road from me received a grant of $1.5M to clear land and develop it into a horse farm and vineyard. I'm not complaining as we have lots of firewood now!! LOLOLOL
