The sale is subject to a post-completion net working capital adjustment which will also be satisfied in cash following the preparation of completion accounts and which is expected to be about £0.3m.

As might be expected, it gave the acquisition the thumbs-up, saying it "improves revenue visibility for the company at an attractive price."
The market seemed to be of the same mind, however, with the shares edging up to 11.75p from 11.25p the night before.
