Q: I would appreciate your comments on PLI's announcement this morning that it plans to acquire all of the shares of Telesta Therapeutics. Also is private equity or a large controlling shareholder behind PLI? In thie press release management exudes a lot of confidence about the future and it is hard to assess whether their confidence is misplaced.

Thank you, Peter

Q: Patient Home Monitoring announced they will hold a conference call on Aug 24th to review the Qtr results and update the market (not shareholders) on plans for 2016 and beyond. Participants will be the CEO and CSO. No mention of the new CFO they announced on June 29th. What's your read on why they wouldn't take this opportunity to formerly introduce the CFO to the market? Do you think this is because the results may be okay and the forward strategy is what they want the market to focus on?

Q: Trillium Therapeutics (TR) reported on August 12. Could you please speak about the results and whether this is a continued hold? This is a small position in my portfolio, firmly entrenched in the "speculatives" for now, at 2%. Is it worth adding another percentage point? Thanks, as ever, for your service.

Q: Gentlemen:
Sorry for another in the string of CXR questions. Early last June, Blackstone and Carlyle dropped their bid for CXR when the shares were selling in the $36.00 range. Considering that the shares have crashed since the acquisition of Amdipharm, can you see a company such as Knight GUD making a bid? They have a strong seasoned management team and have had some financial involvement with the firm. Debt apparently does not come due for another 4 or 5 years.
Thank you
