| BUY | 10.170 | David Taylor, MBA, CFA | This is a value play. In a great acquisition when they got the US body and chassis operations from Budd. There is a ton of opportunity for growth in this company. Feels there will be a continuous outsourcing from the big 3. | 2008-01-10 | |
| Comment | 12.220 | Bruce Campbell | The best run of the smaller Ontario auto parts manufacturing. The high Cdn$ hurts this whole area. They will work themselves out of it and the entry point is quite attractive. He is still not keen enough yet to buy. Would consider under $10, when it would be really compelling. | 2007-12-31 | |
| TOP PICK | 11.540 | Robert Floyd | Interesting scenario. Stock has dropped as a result of the strong Cdn$. At this price it is a great buy. The automotive sector is having its issues but this company has a very strong balance sheet and have a lot of cash. Will be able to make good acquisitions had a very good price. | 2007-12-11 | |
| WATCH | 12.930 | Lesley Marks | Reported decent earnings, but guidance was poor for the 4th quarter. Just raised equity and the market does not like this when followed by poor guidance. However, a lot of this is related to volumes in the big 3, which is not in their control. Strong Cdn$ did not help, but if they're looking for US acquisitions, this is quite appealing. Can't see any upside right now. Watch for announcements for any US deal, which would be accretive. | 2007-11-15 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 13.350 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 44%.) Earnings reported were very good. With the ThyssenKrupp acquisition, the numbers were looking a lot stronger. | 2007-11-14 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 18.600 | Robert Floyd | (A Past Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 93%.) Made a strategic acquisition of forming operations in the US. It really boosted earnings per share. Earnings per share will grow from $1.10 to $1.30. Still a good Buy. | 2007-10-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 17.250 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 79%.) Have been making strategic acquisitions. Revenues have improved quite dramatically. Outlook continues to look good. | 2007-05-30 | |

| PAST TOP PICK | 12.350 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 28.9%.) Made a very nice acquisition, which doubled revenues. Sees increasing synergies. | 2007-01-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 11.260 | Robert Floyd | (A Top Pick Nov 13/06. Up 17.3%.) Good management. Made a strategic acquisition that resulted in a doubling of revenues. Waiting to look at the quarterly numbers. Still likes. | 2006-12-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 9.670 | Robert Floyd | Auto parts. Just acquired the US body and chassis operations from Budd. This increases their revenues substantially. Extremely strong management. | 2006-11-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.750 | Bruce Campbell | A value stock. Likes management very much. Doesn't like the auto sector. Feels we are in for a little bit of tough times. | 2006-07-05 | |
| SELL | 5.000 | Andrew McCreath | Shares took a jump up but would be cautious. Canadian auto makers have structural problems. Cdn$ is very negative for them. A lot of dependence on the big 3 and he is bearish on the big 3. Very illiquid shares. | 2005-01-17 | |
| HOLD | 6.800 | Robert Floyd | An interesting turnaround story. Well-managed. Expect the stock should get going over the next 6/12 months. | 2004-06-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 6.920 | Glenn Paradis, BA, CFA | (A top pick Jan 28/04. Down 5.7%.) Still likes. Great management team. Auto industry is starting to look at little healthier. We continue to buy under $6.50. | 2004-04-22 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.750 | Ian Ainsworth | Very strong management team. Farsighted in their vision. Could see vulnerability due to being at the peak in demand levels of consumer products. | 2004-04-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.800 | Ian Ainsworth | A great management team. Have an interesting vision of where autos are going. Auto sales are at their peak so it's difficult to get excited as a growth manager. | 2004-03-26 | |
| DON'T BUY | 7.050 | Mark Jackson, CFA | Likes a very much from a long-term perspective. Near and mid-term, they've had significant management changes. Made a number of acquisitions which they are now trying to digest. | 2004-03-15 | |

| BUY on WEAKNESS | 7.220 | Peter Hodson | His favorite in auto parts companies. Well-managed. Not a fan of the sector. Very viable below $7 and then lock it away for a few years. | 2004-01-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.150 | Mark Jackson, CFA | Treat as a long-term story rather than a short term one. Needs to get long-term traction for long-term contracts. Probably not much for a while. Still likes the stock and its management. | 2004-01-08 | |
| BUY | 5.810 | Peter Hodson | Very good management. Stock became very expensive. Getting hurt by the strong Canadian dollar. They will build up their revenue base. Viable now. | 2003-12-04 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 7.220 | Mark Jackson, CFA | (A top pick Aug 20/03. Down 11%.) Still likes. On a go-forward basis, they should start to win some fairly good contracts. | 2003-11-04 | |
| STRONG BUY | 6.200 | Glenn Paradis, BA, CFA | Happy with the company, but not the way the stock has reacted. Lack of clarity and the state of the auto business has made investors nervous. All the positive fundamentals are continuing on. Profit should kick in, in 2004. Good price. | 2003-10-24 | |
