The cross sales potential for our combined company is very promising, and has the potential to drive revenue growth for years to come."
Mr. Mahoney continued, "Water Pilot has been very successful in penetrating some of the largest national retailers, restaurant operations, and hospitality companies in the US today. We believe they are on the verge of converting a number of these initial pilot programs into highly scalable national and international client relationships.

Lastly, we have already identified several promising leads for potential clients we can bring to the table in Europe and the Middle East, allowing us to build on existing relationships. We are highly confident that this transaction has the potential to unlock value across the entire combined organization."
