Executive Summary
The principal activity of Oxeco is the growth and development of businesses in the technology and science sectors and especially those which are complementary to the Company’s existing X-ray crystallography business. The process of growth and development will include investing, or acquiring assets, businesses or companies in these sectors. Acquisitions and investments may be funded with a combination of equity and cash, although the Oxeco may also utilise debt under certain conditions. It is anticipated that any further acquisitions, other than pure intellectual property transactions, will be structured through limited liability vehicles.
Oxeco acquired Oxray Limited in June 2007. Oxray was established in August 2006 with the objective of becoming a provider of molecular structure determination services to both industry and academic institutions. This is to be achieved by developing novel molecular structure determination software in house as well as in-licensing IP and potentially also making acquisitions in this field. Determining or verifying the molecular structure of a compound is a fundamental research activity that underpins some of the most commercially important areas of science being drug discovery, synthetic chemistry and materials science. Oxray’s initial focus is a structure determination technique known as X-ray crystallography.
