Xplore Technologies (XPLR) manufactures two forms of tablet computers: Ultra rugged, which has been their core business for many years, and rugged, which is a new growth driver that expands their previously addressable market by a factor of 10. Their legacy, ultra-rugged product has customers on record such as AT&T (T) and the US Military. This highly differentiated product is waterproof, can withstand a 7 foot drop, and can function in a temperature range of -40 to 167 degrees. One of the key reasons we became involved with the stock is their new rugged line of tablets, called Ranger X. In July of this past year, they unveiled the Ranger X, which the company just recently announced its first multi million dollar purchase order from a major U.S. telecom provider. We expect the Ranger X to be a major growth catalyst in 2014. Phil Sassower, Chairman and CEO, owns 33% of the company through his private equity vehicle, and has successfully led the company to the inflection point on which it stands today.
