I don't recall anything in the PR regarding the CET acquisition that touted the Solaroli patent as the main driver of the acquisition. In fact, I don't recall it being mentioned at all. This manufactured drama over the patent is simply bear-baiting. I'm happy with the acquisition at face-value.
I think Quasar would be better served by securing acquisitions one at a time as money permits and not stressing over some big funding that delays growth of the portfolio. Grow the portfolio (and the bottom line) and funding will come.
