We are already seeing significant revenue growth and more diversification of Mobio Global's revenue base in the UK and Europe and we are excited by the potential of Mobio Global Inc, soon to commence trading in the United States. We are confident in our ability to acquire more businesses for the group in the foreseeable future and that our listing on the London Stock Exchange will give us greater flexibility in financing such acquisitions."
