Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Home Solutions announced that it had signed a letter of intent to acquire a Florida-based specialty interior services company with revenues of approximately $14 million annually. The Company expects to complete the acquisition before the end of the year. "Our recently completed acquisitions position Home Solutions to gain significant market share within these niche residential markets," said Frank Fradella, Chairman and CEO of Home Solutions. "However, we are most excited by the potential from the Florida acquisition we recently announced. This acquisition will create synergies among our existing businesses, enable us to penetrate new geographies and potentially triple our cash flow from operations. Furthermore, since the housing market remains strong, we expect there to be significant cross-selling opportunities both for our new and existing customers." Home Solutions is a niche provider of specialty residential services including Restoration Services, Cleaning and Fabric Protection Services and Residential Renovation Sales. Home Solutions closed its first acquisition, PW Stephens, in November of 2002 and has subsequently closed two additional acquisitions in July 2003 as part of this strategy.
