Q: Company gave the higher input cost and transportation as the reason of lower profit in 2Q-2018 and the stock fall 15% to 18%. Is this a concern for future or there is some thing more which pushed the price lower? Do you recommend adding to the position? It weights less than 1% of my portfolio.

Q: Similar to Dave I am having trouble assessing the value of Aimia and specifically assessing expected tax impacts of the sale of Aeroplan. Aimia's largest shareholder (Mittleman Brothers LLC) issued a statement supporting the recent offer - however, in this statement it notes expected taxes on the sale should be minimal - can you please confirm this?
The statement also notes that their "sum of the parts" valuation for Aimia is C$7.50 per share. This is based on a "full valuation" for PLM Premier - however, even discounting that to the recent offer received the valuation is closer to C$5 per share. Also no value is being assigned to potential tax losses that could be carried forward.
What is driving the substantial discount in the share price? Does 5i have a view on what the "fair value" of Aimia is based on the revised Aeroplan offer?

Q: My question is on VIVO. It's a rebrand from former Abcann Global and apparently your system has not yet updated so I couldn't put it into the box above. Just wondering if you have any further insights in regard to this stock. I recognize that it is just one more entry in a large field of cannabis "wannabees". They suggest on their website that they have some proprietary technology in regard to cannabis production that might give them an advantage but I'm not sure how much credence to put in this claim. Generally, please give your opinion on VIVO currently in regard to valuation, management and forward guidance, to the extent that you are able. Also, do they have any free cash flow at the moment and what is their debt level like. Thanks.
