Q: I have been following this company for the last couple of weeks, & they supposedly have had several companies sign on to their product line. The stock has gone from approx. $1.00 to $.15 cents, with my limited understanding for financial statements it appears revenue has gone up considerably. What don't I understand here.? I understand this is a very risky stock, but I still am interested, but cautious. Do you have any suggestions how to get further information on their sales or patent, or anything else you can supply me with would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you very much for your great service

Earl

Q: The stock options announced today seems very generous given the stocks history and current trading price.

Q: Hi
I need your expertise to better understand PTG cash flow statement. The cash flow for the first quarter was positively influenced by changes in non-cash working capital NCWC (note 13). For the three months ending March 31, 2017 and 2016, PTG posted $59,151,000 and $63,502,000 in changes in accounts receivable. PTG also listed accounts payable in NCWC. I understand that accounts receivable are bills to customers that have not yet been paid and accrued liabilities are invoices that PTG have not yet been paid. Is it normal practice for these two lines to affect change in none cash working capital ?
PTG reported cash flow of $50,000,000 on revenue of $330,000,000. PTG reduced the debt level by $40,000,000 and bought back shares. The net value of the enterprise, including debt and liquidity, is around $170,000,000. What is the likelihood that PTG will be able to maintain a similar level of cash flow ? In your opinion what will it take for the market to take notice ?

Q: I am tempted to add to my position in Sangoma Technologie prior to Company reporting their quarterly results later this month because I think the market will start taking more notice of this Company given that its revenue run rate is climbing over $25 million and its EBITDA margins (10.5% last quarter) are now growing too. Based on the Company's new guidance for Fiscal 2018 the stock trades less than 1 times sales with profits on the rise and a good balance sheet. What are your thoughts and is this Company on the cusp to be discovered by more investors since the new management re positioned the Company over the last several years?
