This acquisition positions EKF as a leading 'one stop' provider of diagnostic products and services from sample collection to results.

EKF's growth strategy to 2024 and beyond can be summarised as:

•	continuing innovation in products and services in Point-of-Care, Central Laboratory and Life Sciences leveraging new and existing routes to market and relationships;
•	investment in expanded production and kitting capabilities to offer a suite of diagnostic Contract Manufacturing solutions to third party businesses;
•	expansion of CLIA Laboratories Testing offering, building on the acquired capabilities in ADL Health; and
•	identify complementary earnings-enhancing acquisitions with key strategic value.

EKF will also continue to generate enhanced shareholder value through:

•	a progressive dividend policy; and
•	its agreement with Mount Sinai Innovation Partners ("MSIP"), which allows us advanced access to innovative commercial opportunities and where we can build on the ongoing successes of Renalytix plc, Verici Dx plc and Trellus Health plc.
