UGE Backlog Continues to be Undervalued
Industry valuations of solar projects under development suggest that UGE International’s current 83.7MW project backlog is undervalued.
UGE’s goal of 120MW of project backlog by the end of 2021 makes the Company’s current undervaluation even more compelling.
Applying peer transactions to UGE’s 357MW (net of backlog) pipeline potentially puts the stock in future multi-bagger territory.

Sophic Capital: Past Research
UGE International (“UGE” or the “Company”) is a solar and renewable energy solutions company leading the renewable energy transition. The Company is a turnkey developer of community and commercial solar projects. UGE also finances, owns, and operates its own solar projects. To reduce hydrocarbon dependency, many green energy activists are targeting oil and liquified natural gas (“LNG”) pipelines. This focus shift away from energy producers aims to prevent the expansion of and upgrades to America’s 2.7 million miles of pipeline infrastructure. One reason is that unlike oil and gas deposits, pipelines typically cross state, county, and city boundaries. This translates into more permitting requirements and legal reviews which, in some cases, can lead to a decade or more of project delays. Last week, Legend Power Systems (LPS:TSXV), a global leader in onsite energy management technology for buildings, reported an improving outlook as economies emerge from the coronavirus pandemic. On the call, which we recommend you listen to, management outlined several nuggets that make the 60 minute call well worth your time. For those of you that are more inclined to read the highlights we have put some of the key points below that illustrate the business is at a turning point. Two weeks ago, OneSoft Solutions CEO Dwayne Kushniruk hosted an investor presentation at the Planet MicroCap Showcase event. We present these questions and Mr. Kushniruk’s answers following the video presentation and disclaimer included. We understand that investors flee stocks when systematic risk prevails, and the current market meltdown has spared few microcap stocks. Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG, OTC: KRKNF), a Sophic Capital client, was no exception. On January 31, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order to stop the importation of counterfeit goods. This followed an April 2019 Memorandum that specifically targeted third-party, online retailers selling counterfeited and pirated goods. We hope that you, your family, and colleagues are doing well. Crises always create fear and stress, but somehow, someway, we manage to come out the other side mostly intact. We wanted to see the extent to which the pipeline industry is embracing machine learning to manage and protect its most valuable assets – pipelines. In this report we detail our findings, but before we dive in below is a brief summary of our last report. We believe that these catalysts bode well for OneSoft Solutions (OSS:TSXV, OSSIF:OTC), a Sophic Capital client. OneSoft Solutions’ (“OneSoft”) mission is to use machine learning and data science to help U.S. pipeline companies achieve their stated objective of reducing pipeline failures to zero. Dirty, dirty oil. We are so past that. Renewables are all the rage – clean energy, renewable natural gas, wind and solar. Whether you are committed to or skeptical about renewable energies, you cannot deny that ESG companies are getting a lot of media headlines and bylines. For those new to ESG, it stands for “Environmental, Social and Governance”, and includes not only renewable energy companies but also firms changing their practices to affect positive environmental, social, and government changes.
