Main Reason to Buy!Nov. 2/02

• Fresh produce company Dominion Citrus Ltd. made $17M stock-swap bid for control of Humpty Dumpty

• Want to swap one common share ($1.26 as of Nov. 27) and one series A preferred share ($2.25 issue price) for each SNX share 58% premium

• Board said Dominion's offer does not reflect the "fair value" of the company

• "This offer significantly undervalues Humpty Dumpty's effective operating model, strong track record and future prospects," said Gerald Schmalz, chairman and CEO of SNX

• "The board strongly recommends that Humpty Dumpty shareholders unequivocally reject Dominion Citrus's offer."

Main Reason to Buy!Nov. 5/02

• Following Board rejection of offer stock up 17 per cent (Nov. 4/02)

Nov. 7/02• Shareholders formally reject bid

My Thoughts & Reasoning• P/E = 10.556 Competition Avg. = 15.4

• The stock is currently trading @ $2.85

• On Nov. 1/02 trading @$2.65

• Since Shareholders rejected offer equivalent to approx. $3.50, I think that someone will come in with an offer for more

Shareholders will likely keep trading and increasing the price up to at least $3.50, expecting someone to step in

• Therefore, @ $2.85 SNX is a great buy

• If it goes up to around $3.50, that is a $0.65 gain per share, or approx. 23%

• Currently looks like going down below moving averages, however, as you can see, it is quite volatile, from the ups and downs
