Route 1 Inc.(ROI-X)

Mar 12, 2008
Only had about $750,000 in cash in November but they have done a financing for $7 million. 283 million shares outstanding. Recent $5 million loss. Seems to be a lot of promise but would like to see the delivery before he would look at it.

Cantronic Systems Inc.(CTS-X)

Mar 12, 2008
Trading at about 8 or 9 times revenue, which is pretty expensive. Technology is interesting, but you want to see greater uptake. Wait till there is more traction and the company grows into its market cap.

COMMENT

RussellRussell Breweries(RB-X)

Dec 19, 2007
A fairly early stage public company. Didn't pass his metrics on earnings and profitability, but seemed to be doing okay in their little niche. The real challenge is that it is a niche brewery and how they would grow themselves. Deserves to be on a watch list.

Allen-Vanguard Corp.(VRS-T)

Had some significant top line growth, but had some significant write offs relating to the acquisition they did. They are hinging a lot of their business on some major US contracts. At this price, it is worth watching.

Recently guided that 08 revenue would probably double. The stock has responded favourably to it. When the stock moves that strong, you have to sit back and let it settle down. Has a very interesting opportunity in the whole affinity program.
