this is a finance question

Howard Cunningham ran a construction materials company Cunningham Stone 8: Gravel. His firm supplied materials such as crushed stone to companies that operated asphalt production plants. Some of those asphalt companies also operated paving subsidiaries i.e. companies that paved and repaved LJ homeowner driveways and community roads. Howard recognized that he was in a tough business, as many ofthese materials that he sold were essentially commodities. He had managed to achieve decent profitability over the years by running one of the lowest cost operations in the country. However, he was now considering a plan to expand the business. He had an opportunity to acquire a firm with whom he had done business for years Custom Driveways and Walkways. This customer operated a successful paving business known for its high guali'gy work, as well as its willingness to design and implement unique, high end, customized driveway, sidewalk, and patio projects for wealthy homeowners. Custom Driveways and Walkways also operated several asphalt production plants of its own. The company was protable, with revenue and profit growth that exceeded Cunningham Stone & Gravel's nancial performance. If you were Howard Cunningham, what issues would you consider before making the final decision about this acquisition?
