For example, the technology companies had to be registered in the UK as independent, unquoted companies and not as subsidiaries. Sales growth was measured by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) measured over 2 years, 1999 - 2001. Sales had to exceed £100,000 in financial year 1999 and £1m in financial year 2001. All companies had to have a product or service in demand in the marketplace and not be 'blue-sky' concept firms.
