They had revenues (unaudited) of approximately $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Sales for the 6 months ended December 31, 2006, showed continued growth with revenues exceeding $1.5 million despite the general downturn in oil and gas activity during this period. All debts will be eliminated prior to the acquisition date, following which they are expected to maintain a positive working capital position. This acquisition is anticipated to be accretive to both cash flow and earnings.

“This is a strategic acquisition for us,” stated Serge Bonnet, president of ILI Technologies. “There are a number of efficiencies which ILI will be putting in place to increases revenues and earnings for the company. In addition, ILI will benefit from an increased labour force at a time when qualified personnel is difficult to obtain, and we will continue to build on our sales and service channels in Canada.”

The purchase price of $1.6 million will be paid entirely from working capital as ILI maintains a strong balance sheet. The company continues to look at other accretive acquisitions in North America to increase shareholder value.
