The MINDBill platform will be used for SIM activation. MIND’s platform includes also management of the devices, mediation, processing and reporting on the devices data usage.

 

Active Pursuit of Acquisitions

As previously announced, we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth, by focusing on acquisition targets at reasonable valuations that satisfy the criteria we defined: proven revenues, complementary technology or geography and expected accretion to earnings within two to three quarters.

The excess of demand for acquisition targets increased the challenge to find attractive deals.
