Takeovers fuel better-than-expected profits at Asseco

This is partially an effect of taking over two companies: Softlab and Wa-Pro, but the result is still better than anticipated. "Analysts estimated our profit at zl.5.6-5.7 million. The figure was exceeded without substantial effort. And this is really a profit that we have earned," said Adam Góral, president and the main shareholder of the company. The main objective of the strategy for the coming months envisages entering the Czech market via the Slovak branch of the holding - Asseco Slovakia. In June the company will carry out a share issue in the Polish market, collecting funds for acquisitions. "I would like to take over PVT," said Góral. Interestingly, Asseco had the opportunity to take over this entity before, but decided against the move. Apart from the potential take over of PVT from Prokom, Asseco is conducting negotiations to acquire three smaller software entities. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) M.M.
