I hadn't previously picked up on that 17% gross margin growth in the US. Pretty good one would say!!
As ever we await the acquisition "in the very near future" [comment 15 November, 7 weeks and counting] but as we know "imminent" means 6 months so dont break out the champers yet....
The note (28 Nov) said:
"Negotiations are underway on a potential acquisition which is expected to be completed in the New Year."
So perhaps a while to go yet, after all there are 12 months in a year.
