One of our picks for a double has been the steady CRS Robotics (ROB). The company has had rather good growth as evidenced by their last Q3 report which showed sales of $7,687,000 compared with $4,701,000 in the similar quarter last year. Net income before amortization of goodwill was $295,000 compared to $252,000. Earnings per share before amortization of goodwill increased to $0.03 from $0.02. All in all, not a bad showing for this global manufacturer of laboratory automation technology solutions. For the first nine months of this year (ROB) has shown a 68 per cent increase in sales by generating $21,582,000 and a 131 per cent jump in net income of $1,006,000 prior to goodwill amortization compared to a year earlier. Ralph Steedman, the President and CEO of the company stated that "Despite the general economic downturn, we continue to outperform as a result of accelerated pharmaceutical research and development worldwide." In fact, projected industry growth is pegged at 15% whereas ROB's growth has been 22%. Despite this warm and fuzzy Q3 report, ROB has not exactly been a stellar performer in the market, certainly not bad compared with most small caps but, we are after all, looking for a double. So what does the future hold? In January of 2002, the company will launch their new Dimension4 (TM) product with all the prerequisite industry hype needed to make a big splash in the industry. The Dimension4 is being touted as a radically new lab automation technology that will take lab automation to a new level. The big selling feature is that it will increase productivity in labs by a factor of 4 according to Steedman when interviewed by ROBTV. (See the company website www.crsrobotics.com The big question remains, what will this do for the bottom line? Steedman skated around that topic rather smoothly in his ROBTV interview but would only comment that sales would commence in Q2 of 2002 which would start a building year and 2003 would probably be a big year. We continue to view ROB as a good pick for growth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Global Investment Financial Group (GIG,CDNX) Revenue Sources Ramping Up Global Investment Financial Group (GIG) is moving forward with its primary objective of turning on their revenue streams. Since my Special Report, a regional Licensee came on board in the Province of British Columbia. These licensees will be granted exclusive rights, within the licensed region, to develop a successful and ongoing business utilizing the Company's infrastructure. The Licensee will receive a pro-rata share of the revenue generated from the active profiles, directory listings, transaction fees, internet services, education courses, newsletters, and other products within their area. The fee for the British Columbia license was $66,000 which is a welcome cash injection to help sustain the company while other revenue sources come online. (see below) More regional licenses will be offered in other Canadian regions as well as in the US. Currently the Ontario region is under negotiation which would garner $190,000 for GIG, hopefully within the next few weeks. All told, the licensing program could bring in $7.5 million CDN. **Site Development** The communication module is now active which features a private mail system, community board, and an investor relations board. More bells and whistles will be added regularly. Also check Commerce Place where an active Profile system for Members and Financial Advisors is now operating.
