Stock price when the opinion was issued
The core business they are focusing on now is electronic medical software for Canadian physicians. They finally closed down their payment processing in the US, so this is a great entry point. Had some management and board changes so you now have a clean company. It is focused only on software sales in Canada. Revenues last quarter came a little bit under expectations because they are lowering the software installation price to clients, but are still receiving the same recurring revenue going forward. Very, very cheap for a software company.
Good management. Management will grow the company. A lot of selling held it down and now it has lifted. They will report clean, transparent results. They are the only ones with a national software platform. Margins are starting to expand. This is one of his top 5 holdings. They are very focused now. A wonderful business and a good growth opportunity in Canada.
The 2nd largest provider to Telus (T-T) of electronic medical records. There has been a push globally to get all of the physicians to get all of their medical records from file folders to electronic and online. In Canada the penetration rate is a little bit lower at only 65% while in other countries, such as the US, it is closer to 90%. Recently announced a partnership with Telus which, down the road, could lead to other opportunities.
They continue to grow by acquisition, and he thinks there is pretty good opportunity for them in the general healthcare space. The advantage is a recurring revenue model and offers pretty good opportunity over the coming 12 months.
