STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The company is actively qualifying acquisition candidates to broaden its customer base and enhance cross-selling opportunities among its clients. The company sees significant upside in merging the capabilities of its proprietary product portfolio with additional acquired technologies to boost top-line growth. Lattice has successfully completed the transition into an elite provider of advanced technological solutions to government and commercial markets. By acquiring highly respected solutions providers with strong ties to the federal government, the company intends to further complement its technical expertise while adding revenue streams. Lattice's current capabilities provide the company a solid base to grow its services and products divisions in new markets. Having SMEI into the company's operations, Lattice has recently acquired RTI, an elite provider of advanced software and systems development services. Through an aggressive core acquisition strategy, Lattice believes it can realize dramatically increased sales over the next four years. Acquisition targets include architecture and development specialists currently providing unique solutions to the government and commercial markets as either prime contractors or partners of large domestic defense companies. Emphasis is placed on buying providers with highly scalable proprietary technologies at fair multiples.
