Q: Healthcare is approximately 10% of our portfolio. Medical Facilities is the largest investment which we have held for a long time. JNJ and HCP we have added more recently. NVS and AZN we inherited. We want to simplify our portfolio and plan to sell NVS and AZN and add to JNJ. Wonder what your opinion is of DR and HCP specifically and also AZN which I didn't see mentioned in your question section.
Thank you, Marie

Q: Medical Facilities Corp says it has an agreement with Kansas-based NueHealth LLC to form a joint venture and acquire seven ambulatory surgical centers from Meridian Surgical Partners of Brentwood, Tenn. The joint venture, will be majority-owned by Medical Facilities. Medical Facilities says its portion of the $46.5-million (U.S.) total purchase price will be funded by cash and a draw on its credit facility.
What do your overview of this purchase by DR and using their cash and credit facility? How soon is it accretive to cash flow, is the dividend safe and does it mitigate some of the concerns in the past regarding competition moving into the areas where they currently have operations?
Thanks
Gordon

Q: In a recent reply to a question about DR, you concluded with a sentence:
'This makes it tough to have a whole lot of confidence on the potential cash flows.'
Could you please expand on this as it sounds like you are 'forecasting' a future drop in earnings / cash flow? Can you share any evidence you have that would support this view?

Q: What is your take on this company ? All reports seem to confirm the current dividend is safe. Regardless of healthcare funding, the surgical centres will continue to operate, so presumably the cash will continue to flow. Canaccord downgraded the stock but others rate it much higher. What then is the rationale for the recent decline in the stock price and what is the outlook over the next year ?

Q: My question is on diversification for my kids. With smaller amounts of money I find it a struggle. My daughters are 4 and 6. In one RESP there is 155 shares of DR. In the other RESP there is 155 shares of CRT.UN I also have a TFSA account where I keep there money from birthdays Christmas etc. There they have 543 shares of DIV and 90 shares of KWH.UN Cash for them is starting to add up again for them. Thinking very long term do I add a new position for them or sell all and start fresh? What do you recommend?

Thanks Jimmy

Q: One of the Risks this company mentions in it's recent filings is "Contingency Risk" which they state is an estimate of the liability expense for claims NOT covered by their Liability Insurance. However I do not see any amounts set aside for Contingency Risk on any of their statements. 1st) which statement would I look on for this item - Income Statement, Balance Statement etc and 2nd) If there is no amount recorded on the statement which should carry it, does that mean they have no uninsured liability claims or perhaps that any such claims are in fact handled by the primary medical centers majority owners?
