Q: Hello 5i

Could I have your thoughts on the company and the latest earnings? Seems interesting. Earnings appear to be heading in the right direction although illumination was off a bit. Seeing as the stock is trading pretty much where it was a year ago would this be a good entry opportunity as growth from acquisitions is expected to continue?

Q: IWG is a Nanocap trading at 2x book. They have 14 straight quarters of profitability, are trading at 9x earnings, have consistently high margins, a board/CEO with history in the aviation industry, and contracts with many big aviation manufacturers. Also, based on what I can determine, North American government regulations require potable treatment on air vessels. I am hoping you can answer some or all of the following questions:
- The annual report 2015 indicates IWG has 1 major competitor in the Potable Water Systems & Water Heaters space, who are they?
- What is useful life of an IWG water system?
- What % of revenue comes from the maintenance costs of an installed IWG water systems?
- How many corporate jets are in service worldwide? Is "lower for longer" oil price seen as a corporate jet business catalyst
- Are Bruce Gowan (chairman, former Magellan CFO) and C. Edward Butterfield (CEO) known as "good" management in the aviation industry?
- They are implementing an ERP in 2016, what is the estimated cost?
It's a tall order, but your my research department :) I really appreciate what 5i offers!

Q: Good morning,

Can you provide an updated investment opinion on this company.
It appears to be set up for some decent growth in the next few years.
In your opinion is it worth taking a small speculative position at this time.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, What do you think about Score now-a-days? I bought it from growth portfolio recommendation last year. I am down 75% from my buying price. This is .80% of my portfolio now. Should I just take the loss and move on. I am a Software Architect and recently went to a mobile conference and fortunately spoke to their SVP. He was saying pretty good things about their business and the team(his claim is his team is best in Canada after Google and Shopify). Anyways, I don't know, it is like asking barber if I need a haircut. I can hold on to this for 5 years as it is in My RRSP. But considering your business analysis do you think it is worth holding or should I just switch to something else? Your detailed analysis please.

Q: Hi, could you comment on FTG's recent acquisition. Their wasn't much news in regards to the price and financing but what would you expect? I'm sure it a positive long term but I'm a little worried they may be on the verge of an equity raise And short/midterm dilution.
Thanks
