Liberty Director Mr Patrick Glovac commented on the result:
"For Cirrus Networks to achieve its entire 2014 financial year revenues in just the first half of the
2015 financial year is an outstanding result and continues to highlight the strength of the business. In an environment where many businesses are seeing growth slowdowns, to have a business which is seeing record revenue year on year is a real benefit to our shareholders."

The consideration for the acquisition involves the initial issue to the vendors of Cirrus of approximately 604,000,000 Liberty ordinary shares, comprising 55.34% of Liberty's issued capital after a proposed minimum capital raising of $3,000,000. If the maximum proposed capital raising of
$5,000,000 is achieved, that percentage will reduce to 49.31%. It is expected that escrow restrictions will be placed on these shares.
There is no cash consideration and the issue of further shares to the vendors of Cirrus as part of the purchase consideration is linked to financial milestones, namely the achievement of annualized revenue of $12 million, the achievement of EBIT of $2 million and the achievement of EBIT of $4 million (over a period of 2 years from settlement in the case of the first milestone, and 3 financial years from settlement in the case of the last two).
