    no they haven’t been buying tons of companies lately
    the bought WildThingsGear Inc for $4.5M USD subject
    to closing of financing
    Convertible portion of it was 1million USD at .10 and .15 per share
    they bought the assets and client/customer list and certification issuance by the National Institute of Justice and since it was an asset sale as ForceOne closed its doors in spring 2016 Mission Ready would have picked it up at a fire priced sale on this very valuable assets.

    Mission ready will produce and sell and provide product to Force Ones customer base and the distibution channels Mission Ready just picked up thru this asset purchase was not only smart but will aid the companys pushing deeper into the military and law and enforcement sectors and adds scale to the manufacturing facility they just opened in Tennessee as well as the manufacturing facility they have in Mass thru the WildThingsGear Inc aquisition.

    Former VP of Innovation for 25yrs at RBK who invented the RBK pump Paul Litchfield is the new COO of Mission Ready as of Aug 2016

    He took RBK with the pump to over $1billion in revenue the first 12mths the RBK pump hit the sneaker store shelves and surpassed giant Nike for the first time in its operating history.

    so …stay tuned.
