This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Shelton-Moore. The review period commenced on 2025-01-10 and concluded on 2025-02-27, involving extensive analysis by our internal teams and external consultants. The team's general sentiment, following several late-night sessions and copious amounts of coffee, is cautiously optimistic.

From a financial perspective, Shelton-Moore exhibits a volatile revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 21.4% and a net profit margin of 14.1%.

Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (repurpose compelling e-services) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 258 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of pending litigations. Past compliance reviews uncovered several issues, including: Minor data privacy non-compliance (CY2018), Minor data privacy non-compliance (CY1995). Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as vulnerable, while its technological backbone is considered largely modernized.
