RE:Put the cash hoard to useFrom the conference call a few things were brought up:
1) Their multi-billion dollar customers get nervous doing business with a small supplier, so seeing that supplier have a cash reserve acts as a type of insurance/reassurance. Scott mentioned $10M reserve off the top of his head.
2).They have an NCIB in effect for 2018
3) They are using FCF from operations into R&D and developing new business
4) They are looking into building a pipleline of potential acquisitions which would use a combination of cash and debt to potentially acquire a larger company.
