Caseridge TechSys Commentary
Public Venture Capital and New Issues Increase by 281% in 2010

Driven by a $263MM private placement by Westaim Inc., new issue activity in the Caseridge TechSys
Index increased by 281% during the first quarter of 2010 versus the same quarter in 2009. During the first
quarter $459MM was raised across 19 Caseridge TechSys component companies. Only $163MM was
raised in 2009 across 13 component companies. These figures include only private placement activity in
public enterprises (PIPEs) and public offering transactions of listed equities for those companies that are
included in the 250 company Caseridge TechSys Index. It excludes debt and debt related transactions.

By contrast, the Canadian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (CVCA) and Thomson Reuters
announced that a total of $276MM was invested in privately-held companies across Canada in both debt
and equity related transactions across a wider range of unlisted or private companies, down from the
$279MM invested in 2009. Across both the CVCA and the Caseridge TechSys Indexes, total financing
activity increased from $442MM in 2009 to $735MM in 2010, an increase of 166%.

On a normalized basis, which excludes the value of the largest and smallest investments of each period,
$195MM was raised in 2010 vs. $119MM in 2009, $232MM in 2008 and $343MM in 2007 for companies in
the Caseridge TechSys Index. The complete transaction list is included below.

We hope that you enjoy this week’s Caseridge TechSys DealBook.

Bullish sentiment in the Caseridge TechSys Index continues its decline with only 22% of the companies in
our 250 company Index listed as Bullish. Neutral sentiment dropped to 52% as investors remain by and large
on the sidelines while Bearish sentiment popped up to 26% from 17% last month. The 24-week dashed trend
lines show an increasing level of Bearish sentiment combined with declining Bullish and flat Neutral levels.
Bearish and Bullish sentiments’ have moved to levels last seen in the first quarter of 2009.

The Gross Margin Multiple (in purple) (“GMM”) increased to 1.28 from 1.22 in the previous week as reported gross profit
results continue to disappoint. The NQA GMM, which is based on analyst consensus estimates for gross profits in the “next
quarter”, declined to 1.13 from 1.20 in the previous week. The annualized Gross Profit Growth rate (in yellow) took another
nose dive as first quarter results continue to disappoint moving to a negative growth rate of 4.5% This indicator is based on a
“run rate” measured as LQA gross profits / LTM gross profits. This implies an annualized decline in gross profits of about 20%
per year vs. an implied growth rate of about 20% priced in to the market (according to our model). Clearly there is something
“out of whack” in these figures. We are very cautious at present and recommend that investors maintain a strong cash balance
by waiting on the sidelines while these numbers shake themselves out.
