Q: I noticed 5i has dropped Reliq a growth stock from your portfolio. Would STC, QST, ITC & CWL be good growth stock replacements given their current value?

Q: Hi
Sangoma recently announced the purchase of Digium for US28,000,000. Once the transaction is signed, Sangoma intends to finance the deal by borrowing approximately $21 million. The new credit facility will be drawn in US dollars, and will be repaid over 7 years and is expected to have an interest rate of 6.0% to 6.5% per annum at closing. What do you think will be the monthly or annual payments? Will the payments represent only interest costs or will they include a portion of capital?
On page 8 of the investor presentation, it is written that Digium has about $15,000,000 in tax NOLs. Is it fair to assume that Digium has lost $15,000,000 over several years and that Sangoma will be able to use the tax NOLs in order to avoid paying taxes on future US earnings?
Is the Nols considered an asset? Will it show up in Sangoma's balance sheet?
If Digium did not have $15,000,000 in tax NOLs, what would have been a fair transaction price?
What is the approximate value of $15,000,000 in tax NOLs?
What is the approximate percentage of the purchase price attributable to the $15,000,000 in tax NOLs?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Q: My first reaction to the big deal announced this morning was to sell all my shares. I don’t understand buying a company for so much that is ebitda breakeven. I realize the recurring revenue is good and maybe this gives them cross selling opportunities but will this deal not result in diluted eps and ebitda/share? What’s your take on he deal? Thanks

Q: I have complied a list of what I believe are all high quality microcap stocks with current market valuations that are still very attractive and have good upside potential over the next 12 months. How does 5i ranks these stocks and am I missing some obvious microcap stocks with similar traits?

Biosyent (RX), Versa Bank (VB), Sangoma (STC), and Dynacor Gold (DNG)
If you were going to add to one of these which would it be and why?
Would you sell any of these today?
Thanks.
