Although Aastra shares rebounded 23.6% in January market valuation of the company remains low given its
growth record, promising outlook and a strong, debt free balance sheet. Management faced considerable
challenges in f2000 but has met all these challenges well. We are convinced that Aastra can continue to grow
profitably. It appears that investors remain skeptical on the growth prospects of the company.
The company’s technology focus for growth includes continued enhancement of existing terminals and
network products, introduction and development of web-enabled appliance, enterprise voice over IP and
enterprise wireless products. Aastra is among our TOP PICKS for 2001.

Boyd shares continued to drift in spite of the company’s growth record and financial performance. It seems
that investors have little interest in an acquisition driven growth, consolidation story. While the collision
repair business may appear to be unexciting, GM has recently launched Goodwrench auto body centers with
the objective to establish a national recognized collision repair network. Caliber collision centers also added
over 20 stores in 2000. These activities suggest the appeal and profit potential of being a large player in the
industry. Note that Boyd also acquired 12 collision repair locations in US during 2000.
•
We expect Boyd will continue to be a leading consolidator in the highly fragmented, $40 billion collision
repair industry in North America. While BYD.A shares offer attractive value, investors will need patience.

Reported exceptionally strong results for Q1/f01: EPS were up 120% to $0.11 and revenue increased 3.2-fold
to $59.2 million. Sales of Buhler Versatile tractors accounted for about 90% of the revenue growth, and
unusually low overhead vis-à-vis the higher revenue contributed to the income growth. The ongoing strike at
the newly acquired Versatile tractor plant will impact performance of future quarters.
•
Meanwhile, Buhler continues to build and expand its dealer network, to develop new products, and to position
itself for an eventual recovery in the farm economy. Buhler shares remain a BUY for patient investors.

CAE recently announced the rationalization of its sawmill machinery operations in response to depressed
market conditions (lumber prices are at a five-year low) in the forest products industry. About 160 positions
or 20% of the work force of the Wood Products group, primary associated with the operations in Salmon
Arm, British Columbia and Portland, Oregon will be affected. However, the Pulp and Paper division will
remain intact. Note that Forestry Systems accounted for 28% or $163.4 million of f2001 first half revenue
($581.3 million) and also 28% or $27.6 million of the EBIT operating income ($100.2 million).
•
Nevertheless, management stated that CAE’s outlook for f2001 and the commitment to double net earnings
within a three-year time frame remain unchanged. The future for commercial simulation and training is
positive and the entry into the $13 billion global pilot training market should pay off.

Canadian Medical Laboratories shares recovered well after it announced in late 2000 the entry into the drug
development arena through a new subsidiary Cipher Pharmaceuticals Limited. Cipher has since completed
three licensing agreements with Galephar Pharmaceutical for the development of a novel lipid-lowering drug,
a new sustained release Tramadol for chromic pain syndromes treatment, and a new formulation of
Isotretinoin for severe nodular acne treatment. The company plans to capitalize its drug development costs.
Meanwhile, the company will continue to expand its SMO business that organizes and manages multi-site
clinical investigations on behalf of CROs. Patient investors could realize significant returns in two to three
years.

COM DEV shares pulled back 10% in January after gaining 230% in 2000. We think COM DEV shares will
stay in a narrow trading range until progress is evidenced on M/ERGY, the new high-speed wireless Internet
data system. We believe that investors are now more cautious as an increased number of wireless equipment
suppliers have indicated a slower growth period ahead.
•
Although strong order input for both space and wireless products should fuel f2001 revenue growth to the
$300 million level, net earnings growth will be affected by high production costs in China and significant
R&D investment (about $30 million) for M/ERGY. While successful commercialization of M/ERGY will
provide significant return and will transform COM DEV into a system company from a component supplier,
the risk is also high. We rate COM DEV shares as a SPECULATIVE BUY for aggressive investors.

While earnings growth in the first nine months of
f2000 was affected by the company’s decision to invest heavily in sales/marketing to grow sales, this strategy
should pay off beginning in f2001, and perhaps as early as in Q4/f00. Our EPS (before amortization of
goodwill associated with the Robocon acquisition) and sales forecast for f2000 and f2001 could be on the
conservative side. There is room for upside surprise.
•
The purchase of Robocon will add over $6 million of profitable sales, and it will increase the global presence
of CRS in lab automation. CRS has also expanded its product offerings to include diagnostic kits and
consumables. CRS recently announced an OEM agreement with Robbins Scientific, the release of enhanced
POLARA 1.3 software for the drug discovery and clinical trial markets, and a supply agreement with MDS
Proteomics for automated protein expression platforms. CRS is one of our TOP PICKS for 2001.

After an 18% gain in December 2000 to the $12.70 level, Finning shares have stayed in a narrow trading
range so far in 2001. During January, Finning acquired Hewden Stuart Plc, the Mak business operation (a
subsidiary of Caterpillar) in the UK and Ireland, as well as Sabre Perkins (also a subsidiary of Caterpillar).
•
The three acquisitions will add roughly C$615 million of profitable, annualized revenue, and will position
Finning as a leader in the UK equipment rental market, and the world’s first Cat dealer supplying the entire
range of marine engines manufactured by Caterpillar, from a single source in the UK. We are positive on the
repositioning strategy of Finning and we have selected Finning shares as a TOP PICK for 2001.

Although Gennum only posted a modest 8.2%
increase in EPS for f2000 and management only expects stronger earnings growth to resume in the second
half of f2001, we envision that the company will enter into another period of rapid growth beginning in f2002,
similar to the growth period of f1994-f1998. High-speed datacom IC’s will be a key driver in the next phase
of growth.
•
Gennum will begin to market new digital hearing products in f2001 and will also introduce its datacom IC’s.
Meanwhile, sales of analog hearing products are holding up well, and demand for video products (for digital
signal conversion and HDTV) also continues strong. Gennum is one of our TOP PICKS for 2001.

MDS shares rebounded 20% in January. The confirmed commitment of an IPO for MDS Proteomics has
removed considerable uncertainty. This subsidiary has made significant progress in building corporate
infrastructure, including management team, capabilities, joint ventures and client base. Meanwhile, MDS
Sciex has reached an agreement with Micralyne of Alberta to jointly develop microfluidic technology for use
in drug discovery instrumentation. MDS itself has also acquired a majority interest in GenerationMD, a
provider of web-based medical education for physicians, as part of the company’s e-health strategy.

While the high expenditures planned for MDS Proteomics will impact f2001 results, we should see stronger

Growth momentum continues very strong. EPS
for f2000 increased 70% to $0.31 and revenues more than doubled to $256.3 million. While the BourgoinJallieu (France) and Swindon (UK) sites acquired from Aventise in Q1/f00 accounted for 83% of the revenue
increase, North American operations also posted an organic growth of 23%. Year-end backlog rose to $65
million from $32.3 million.
Management expects 20-25% internal growth for the North American operations in f2001, about 10% growth
for the European operations, and some improvement in margins. Ongoing business development activities
will lead to substantial growth in Europe in f2002. New contracts, expanded development services and
acquisition should drive f2003 revenue to the $500 million range. Patheon is a TOP PICK for 2001.

Strongco recently sold its entire equipment
distribution operation in the Mid-Atlantic States of Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, for about $76
million. This divestment will eliminate about $0.07/share of losses, result in a pre-tax gain of roughly $3
million, and improve the total debt-to-equity ratio to 2.2 times from 3.1 times. The $13 million of cash
proceeds will be used to improve Canadian operations.
•
While this transaction is a major step to reduce Strongco’s balance sheet leverage, the debt level remains high.
Management needs to strengthen further the company’s financial position and operations to rekindle investor
interest. Notice that the current share price represents a 72% discount to the $6.12 tangible book value.

were up 10.6% to $800.5 million, EPS increased 2.8% to $1.12. High conversions of equipment under the
rent-to-own options, strong results from Battlefield Equipment Rentals, and a healthy increase in shipments of
gas compression packages by Toromont Process Systems contributed to the record performance.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS
•
Although the overall operating environment remains positive at this time, management is “guarded” about the
outlook for f2001, citing weakness in the economy, declining credit availability and gyrations in financial
markets. However, with a strong balance sheet Toromont will be able to weather a downturn and to pursue
expansion opportunities. Toromont is a BUY at the current level for long-term, portfolio investors.

The thinly traded Versacold shares recovered 26%
in January and they are now selling above the $5.50 book value. The company recently appointed Brent
Sugden as president and CEO, as well as a director. Mr. Sugden has held senior management positions with
Tibbett & Britten Gorup North America, Overwaitea Food Group in Alberta, and Associated Grocers, also in
Alberta.
•
Versacold has experienced considerable growing pains in developing its logistics, distribution and supply
chains capability. The experience of Mr. Sugden should help Versacold to better manage its customers’
combined refrigerated and dry goods supply chains requirement. Hopefully, better days are ahead.

While Wajax has achieved significantly improved profitability and debt reduction in f2000, it will take
another four years for the repositioning strategy to be fully deployed. The strategy lies in transforming the
foundation of the company’s business to an after-market and service orientation that will be supported by a
wholesale goods and parts distribution business, delivered through a low-cost logistics network, and managed
with a stat-of-the-art information system. A significant downturn in the economy will detour this plan.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS
•
Despite the positive progress made by management, Wajax shares continue to sell at a deep discount to the
$8.52 tangible book value and at very low P/Es. The thinly traded Wajax shares are a BUY and the down
side risk is small. We expect Wajax will soon decide its course of action on subsidiary Pacific North
Equipment.
