Q: Would you please explain what the following means in plainer English, and in particular what could cause such large and sudden changes in the "fair value of contingent considerations". Do you think the 20+% drop in share price is a realistic reaction to the news? Thank you.


Offsetting higher operating income during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 were net financing costs which increased to $5.3 million, resulting from changes in the fair value of contingent considerations which amounted to $5.1 million, and on higher amortization from the acquired intangible assets.

Q: Greetings 5i Team:

If you had to choose one of these companies to add new money to without regard to anything but expected growth over a 3-5 year time frame which would you choose and if you could please provide a brief rationale?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i

I think the idea of Intertain listing on the London exchange was to unlock shareholder value. Is that because their customers are predominantly found in Europe or the retail market more open to this type of business ? I don't think it has made much difference yet - I'm trying to determine the catalysts here.

Thanks again
Mike

Q: Hi 5i,
This is my first time asking a question, and just wanted to say what a great service you provide!

My question is regarding Linamar, I've been holding this company for a few years now and have been riding the rollercoaster waiting for the stock to turn. The company is obviously at a great deal of political risk, but despite that continues to produce good numbers. I'm hoping you could comment on the companies prospects for the next 2 -3 years(assuming minimal trade disruption from the US), and could you please comment on the LNR's recent quarterly results?

Thank you, Tristan.

Q: Hi, could you please give your thoughts on the latest DRT financials and whether you thing long term stable growth is back on track? I also read an article recently that Dirtt is going to work with Designer Ian MacGregor to built a high-end luxury house near Canmore Alberta as a template for a "luxury weekend house", but not sure how material that will be to the company.

Q: Good Morning I was listening to the Linamar conference call and the results are very impressive, in fact, the dividend was increased by 20%. The share price dropped over 2% this morning which is surprising. May I have your impressions?
Would MG (PE 7.4) or XCO (PE 10) be more advantageous vs LNR (PE 7.5)?
Thank you
Marty
