Q: Peter:

Radiant Communications (TSXV: RCN)just announced a going private transaction at $0.85. Given the Company's cash position, financial results and recent Peer 1 Networks takeover deal, this offer appears that they are trying to steal the company away from the public shareholders. Do you agree?

Q: DGI-T Data Group. Is the big pop today related to the fact that they did not cut their dividend?
Can DGI hold in close to this price, or it this more likely a temporary position?
Perhaps this is now a real turnaround story?

Thanks.

Q: ESL just reported first quarter results. This line was included:

Operating expenses increased to $23.0 from $14.9 million in the prior year's first quarter and include incremental operating costs related to acquisitions as well as special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $3.6 million and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations.

Buffett refers to these in his recent letter saying some are not real and it makes sense for the investor to adjust for them. Do you agree? Is this what the company is doing when they show adjusted EBITDA?

Q: Hi Peter,

In your Sprott days you were a supporter of Sensio Technologies. They have recently signed many contracts with large companies such Disney(yesterday), Starz, and National Geographic to provide streaming 3D content on their new 3DGO service. These events in addition to their patents regarding Auto detect and 2D-3D switches and signing agreements with WiLan to litigate these patents seem to be great. They also have signed with the biggest two TV manufacting companies in China (HiSense and TLC)and Vizio in the States, plus have many agreement with the chip manufacturing companies installing Sensio chips. All of this is extremely positive. However, there seems to be no traction at all with all of the progress that they have made. It actually has been in continuous downward spiral! Is there something fundamentally wrong with their products/services? Who is their closest competitor? Is this just a matter of time?

Regards,

Arturo
