James Hodgins Jackpot Joy PL JKPTF-5 TOP PICK Mar 29, 2016

Has been tainted with the Amaya (AYA-T) brush. Had a Short attack which drove the stock down to $8. Should they be successful in finding someone to take them out, a price range of $17-$20 is probably not a stretch. A moderate growth business, but the free cash flow they generate is massive and should be commanding a much larger premium than what it is getting. Expects there will be a full take out of the company.

Really cheap 3 months ago and then news of the strategic review came out and there was a nice little pop on the shares. There is a lot of uncertainty going on right now. They pushed back their AGM because at the end of June they are going to come out with an announcement of whatever’s happening with their strategic review. But now with the BREXIT vote, his worry would be that whatever deal was in the works, it is either being put on hold or being quashed. Too much uncertainty for his taste.

The CO and CFO resigned a number of months ago over some compensation issues. The board felt that the best way to deal with this would be to put the company into play to be acquired. Expects there will be an update on this in the next few days.

Thinks 80% of their revenues are coming from the UK, so clearly in Q2 they are going to have a foreign exchange impact. Have put themselves up for sale.

(A Top Pick May 15/15. Down 41.41%.) The stock has declined significantly, and they are trying to figure out what to do with the company. Trading at 5 X PE. He would give this a pass.

A very unusual situation. It has gone through an interesting renovation with a new management, after the 1^st management created lots of acquisitions, boosted the sales line up to about $500 million. A very serious social gambling type company. The newcomers are 2 Brits who have come out from the very much bigger British sector. They are going to take it back to the UK where it should belong, where it will stand out as the great gaming company for the ladies mainly. (Bingo)

There is a lot of hype around these names and the financing deals they are doing. A very confusing story to get your head around. They have a lot of debt on their balance sheet. There are better investment opportunities, particularly in the market we are in right now.

(A Top Pick March 29/16. Up 3%.) Online bingo. He still likes the company and owns a small amount.

(A Top Pick Aug 19/16. Up 11.11%.) (Formerly Intertain) This is probably going to be very, very successful in London, once it can get recognized.

(A Top Pick Aug 19/16. Up 20.39%.) This was taken out of Canada and put into England which is one of the most important gambling areas in the world. The sector trades at 15% in the UK, and this trades at 5%-6% in Canada. This is social gaming rather than hard gambling.
