OTHER HIGHLIGHTS• The Company has been named by the TSX Venture Exchange as one of the TSX Venture’s 50 strongest performers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange for 2010.

• Cervus was the winner of 13th annual IR Magazine’s “Best investor relations by a TSX Venture Exchange company” which is based on independent surveys of the investment community.

• Cervus ranked 16th in Alberta Venture magazine’s listing of fast growth companies over $20 million.

THE POWER OF AGGlobal populations continue to grow and are expected to increase by an additional 23% by 2025.  It is predicted food production will need to increase by 50% by 2025 and double by 2050. Also, the demand for energy continues to rise. Agricultural equipment is required to plant and harvest crops to meet both food and alternative fuel needs. 

Consequently, while we may see some short-term impact as a result of the overall economic slowdown and the strengthening Canadian dollar, agriculture can rely upon these sound fundamentals over the longer term.

John Deere is the dominant global brand for agricultural equipment, and as John Deere extends their international manufacturing presence we see tremendous opportunities to partner with local entrepreneurs in helping to build the distribution network for John Deere.

WHY OWN CERVUS?• A seven year history of growth
