This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Arroyo and Sons. The review period commenced on 2023-10-06 and concluded on 2023-11-29, 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, Arroyo and Sons exhibits a declining revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 9.4% and a net profit margin of 6.4%.

Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (strategize leading-edge info-mediaries) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 298 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as robust, while its technological backbone is considered largely hybrid.
