Skywalker ****
Skywalker will be developed as the high technology division of the Company. It is proposed to utilize Skywalker to contract the development and manufacture of the self-adjusting loading bucket as part of the joint venture between the Company and Excavator Innovations Pty Ltd from Australia (EIPL). Skywalker will use Contec to contract build the prototype of the loader bucket and to develop it for the building and construction market in due course.
Also, Skywalker will design, develop and construct the logistics self-loading and unloading systems for road and railway vehicles.
In addition, Skywalker will seek to incubate new technologies by networking with the local science and technology innovations, products and businesses both who are clients of Contec and from new business and market developments.
Contec ****
Contec was formed and incorporated on June 1, 2016 and it provides precision machining services to the Scientific, Alternative Power, General Engineering and Automotive Sectors. The location of the factory is in the Oxfordshire region of UK and it provides close proximity to Oxford University and the science and technology innovation centres of the UK.
Nearby at Chilton is located the Oxford Harwell Campus Science and Technology Centre including the location of the Synchrotron and close by is the Culham Science Centre (including the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy). The Culham Science Centre is an 800,000 square metre scientific research site that includes two nuclear fusion experiments: JET and MAST. The START Nuclear Fusion Experiment was also conducted on the site until MAST succeeded it in 1999.
The location provides exposure to several existing science and technology Contec clients including the Diamond Light Source (Synchrotron), Optek Group, Proxisense, Oxford Space Systems, Oxford Lasers, Claresys, Formtech Composites and potentially via networking other clients such as the Williams F1 Motorsports Team and McLaren Racing.
We believe the location and business networks will assist Contec, Skywalker and therefore the Company to benefit us to recruit highly qualified, experienced and innovative personnel in several of our own business development and growth areas.
ANALYSIS OF CONTEC ACQUISITION – SUMMARY
Contec has a full 3 years trading history, wherein the prior 2019 year was very successful in its growth and development. Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic has affected part 2020 performance and also is affecting the current 2021-year operations. For this reason, it is seen as an opportunity acquisition. As part of Covid relief for business the UK government is providing assistance to affected businesses in the form of low interest loans with certain other benefits and Contec is currently a beneficiary of one of these and post the acquisition and integration further government assistance will be sought from the UK programmes. Also, as a company operating with a significant research and development expenditure further monetary assistance is available via R&D tax relief as cash payments.
Further, the EIPL and Skywalker business opportunities will be added to the already existing client base as further sources of income.
Below is a summary of the Contec past years performance on an adjusted basis and a projection based on the 4 months to 2021-year end. The 2022- and 2023-years additional revenue from increased business development and marketing and from investment in new and additional equipment and capacity to attract new and high value projects and work is also indicated.
The final acquisition was structured in a deal with a purchase price of £150,000, funded by takeover of Contec debt and liabilities and a £65,000.00 Converting Promissory Note, which can convert to Company stock at call.
The acquisition price is based on:
It is therefore believed that given these parameters the purchase price and business valuation is in line with the commercial market and the acquisition amount represents a fair price.
