Martin Hubbes, CFANovelionNVLN.TOBUY ON WEAKNESSAug 23, 2004

At an interesting entry point. A competitor of theirs is in front of the FDA for approval of a competing drug for Visudine. This may create some weakness, but not a problem as there's plenty of room for both players.

Has been a very disappointing stock. Had problems with its major drug because of competition. The problem with the Canadian drug sector is that it tends to be one or two drug dependent.

Looks cheap at 10 X earnings. Have a drug that is photo-activated, but competitors have come which has pulled the stock down. Bought a company that had an acne cream, but because of labeling problems, it's another year or two away.

Likes the company from the standpoint of a product. Thinks they are still way ahead of the competitors, particularily in the eye treatment area. Have expanded their product base which is not bad. Market has been unmerciful to this stock. Hopefully it has hit a bottom, but would wait to see if the stock can work its way through.

This is bottom fishing, bargain hunting on a stock that is below the 200 day moving average. This stock is really base building. The stock is not participating in this bull market, so will possibly sit out the next bear market and you may have to wait for the next bull market which could be 2 years away.

Sold his holdings last year and hasn't come back to it yet, but is watching closely. Visudyne now has growing competition. Didn't like the Attrix acquisition and not sure if they will get any growth from it. Has good cash position, assets and core product.

You have to wait to see some strength come back in the pharmaceuticals. They were formerly a one drug company, but with their recent acquisition, it makes them a little bit more interesting, but there is still no buying going on.

Visudyne has done really well but competition is coming from Pfizer. Will lose a little bit of market share for awhile and growth will slow down. In the end they may win the battle, but in the short term it will be difficult. Not happy with the recent merger with Atrix Laboritories. Felt they had a weak pipeline.

Because of the acquisition they just did, would like to see a couple of quarters of results out of the new drugs that are in that acquisition. Has seen some weakness with a 10/15% decline in sales.
