From the Manchester Evening News ...

Vindon Healthcare profits up 10 per cent to £1.1m
March 27, 2012
.... Chairman Liam Ferguson said: "The market is pretty tough and we were actually down at the half year point.
"But we have made good progress in the US, which will be a net contributor this year, and I don't see any reason why 2012 won't be a good year."
He said the firm's cost base had been reduced and Vindon had recently held talks with two potential acquisition targets in the sector, which were not ongoing, and that it would consider acquisitions that would add services to its offer.
In the longer term, Vindon would consider opening a storage facility in Asia.
Mr Ferguson said: "A lot of big drug companies are increasingly looking to outsource drug development to emerging economies and we have got to follow that, but that is unlikely to happen in 2012.
"It is more likely that we open another facility in the US, but we would have to get the green light from a substantial client, we are not just going to chance our arm." .... ....


... was there not similar acquisition talk last year ?
