Revenue

Revenue from continuing operations increased $40.1 million, or 17%, in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $276.8 million from $236.7 million in 2004. The strengthening Canadian dollar Noun 1.

 relative to the U.S. dollar had the effect of decreasing 2005 consolidated quarterly revenue by approximately $6.5 million, or 2%, as the Fund realized lower sales dollars per unit on U.S.-sourced products. Segment revenue increased 17% in Mobile Equipment, 12% in Industrial Components and 25% in Power Systems as strong gains were realized by all segments primarily as a result of continued strength in the western Canadian economy.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 revenue from continuing operations increased $178.0 million, or 20%. The strengthening Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar had the effect of decreasing 2005 consolidated revenue from continuing operations for 2005 by approximately $29.3 million, or 3%. Mobile Equipment's revenues increased 24%, or $108.1 million, from higher equipment and parts and service volumes in all regions of Canada. Kinecor's revenues increased 13%, or $32.3 million, as all regions across the country showed improvement, particularly in western Canada. Power Systems revenues increased 22%, or $38.0 million, as strong revenues in western Canada offset a 3% reduction in eastern Canada Eastern Canada (also the Eastern provinces) is the region of Canada generally considered to be east of Manitoba, consisting of the following provinces:
  • Ontario (1 July 1867)
  • Quebec (1 July 1867)
  • New Brunswick (1 July 1867)
  • Nova Scotia (1 July 1867)
.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $8.9 million, or almost 17%, in the quarter due mainly to higher sales volumes. The gross profit percentage for the quarter decreased slightly to 22.4% from 22.5% in 2004 as the negative impact of a higher percentage of lower margin equipment sales to total sales was offset, in part, by higher parts margins compared to last year.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million in the quarter due to costs related to higher sales activity partly offset by a reduction in corporate costs compared to last year. The corporate cost reduction of $1.3 million was due primarily to long-term Long-term

 incentive costs incurred in 2004. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined from 17.7% to 16.1%.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $0.9 million in the quarter to $0.8 million from $1.7 million the previous year due to the Fund's lower cost of borrowing resulting from new financing arrangements entered into on June 8, 2005.

Income tax expense

The effective income tax rate of 5.9% for the quarter was lower than the Fund's statutory income tax rate of 34.3% due to the majority of the Fund's income that was distributed directly to unitholders and not subject to tax in the Fund.

Net earnings

Quarterly net earnings of $15.8 million, or $0.95 per unit, increased $9.8 million compared to $6.0 million, or $0.38 per unit in 2004.

Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005, increased $14.8 million to $33.1 million, or $2.04 per unit, from $18.3 million, or $1.17 per unit in the previous year. Included in the 2005 earnings are income fund conversion-related items totaling $10.2 million ($6.7 million after tax or $0.42 per unit) which include conversion-related costs of $2.6 million ($1.7 million after tax or $0.11 per unit) and charges associated with the early extinguishment The destruction or cancellation of a right, a power, a contract, or an estate.

Revenues increased 17%, or $21.1 million, to $145.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 from $124.6 million in 2004. The strengthening Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar had the effect of decreasing 2005 quarterly revenues by approximately $5.3 million compared to last year. Segment earnings increased $2.3 million, to $9.2 million compared to the previous year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, revenues increased 24% to $556.9 million and segment earnings increased 39% to $31.4 million from $22.6 million. The following factors contributed to the Mobile Equipment segment's fourth quarter results:

- Revenues in western Canada and Ontario increased 18%, or $16.2 million quarter-over-quarter due to a $13.1 million increase in equipment sales and a $3.1 million increase in parts and service revenues. Forestry forestry, the management of forest lands for wood, water, wildlife, forage, and recreation.

Parts and service revenues increased $3.1 million in the quarter, principally in the western Canada forestry and construction and mining sectors reflecting both an increase in equipment units in the marketplace and targeted marketing efforts to grow these revenues. Earnings increased $1.6 million compared to last year due primarily to higher volumes and lower selling and administrative expenses, offset somewhat by a lower gross margin percentage. The gross margin for the quarter decreased 1.6 percentage points compared to 2004 as the negative impact of increased lower margin equipment sales was offset, in part, by higher parts margins. Selling and administrative expenses declined $0.4 million primarily due to cost reduction initiatives introduced in Ontario in order to reduce personnel and warranty An assurance, promise, or guaranty by one party that a particular statement of fact is true and may be relied upon by the other party.

These increases in equipment revenues more than offset a $1.2 million decline in material handling equipment revenues and a $0.6 million decrease in crane and utility equipment revenues. The $1.8 million increase in parts sales compared to last year was due principally to higher mining sector volumes which included two large orders to mines in Nova Scotia Nova Scotia (nō`və skō`shə) [Lat.,=new Scotland], province (2001 pop. 908,007), 21,425 sq mi (55,491 sq km), E Canada.

The strengthening Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar had the effect of decreasing 2005 quarterly revenue by approximately $0.7 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, revenue of $285.3 million reflected a 13% increase compared to the prior year, while segment earnings increased $5.7 million to $13.3 million from $7.6 million in 2004.

Revenues increased 25%, or $11.6 million, to $58.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $47.2 million in 2004. Segment earnings increased $0.9 million in the quarter to $5.6 million from $4.7 million the previous year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, revenues increased 22%, or $38.0 million, to $209.7 million and earnings improved $3.5 million to $18.7 million. The following factors impacted quarterly revenues and earnings:

- Revenues at Waterous Power Systems ("Waterous") in western Canada were 57%, or $14.6 million, ahead of 2004. Equipment sales increased $9.7 million and parts and service revenues increased $4.9 million compared to last year. These gains were due mainly to an increase in oil and gas activity in western Canada and the acquisition of Midwest Detroit Diesel-Allison Ltd. ("Midwest") on October 31, 2005 which generated $3.1 million of revenue in the quarter.

- The increase in segment earnings compared to 2004 was due to the increased volumes and higher parts margins, offset in part by increased selling and administrative expenses due mainly to higher sales activity at Waterous and costs associated with the Midwest operation. Higher parts margins resulted from the favourable impact of the stronger Canadian dollar on U.S. dollar purchases.

On October 31, 2005 the Fund purchased all the shares of Midwest Detroit Diesel-Allison Ltd., the Detroit Diesel engine and Allison transmission distributor for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, northwestern Ontario and Nunavut. Midwest has been integrated into the Fund's Waterous Power Systems operation centered in Edmonton. Midwest also distributes Electro-Motive Diesel ("EMD") engines across Canada. EMD engines are used in power generation, oil field, industrial and marine applications requiring large, low-speed diesel engines. The price paid for the shares and assumed debt was $7.7 million. Midwest has annual revenues of approximately $22 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Fund generated $15.2 million of cash from continuing operations before financing activities in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to $20.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The $5.1 million decrease in cash flows from continuing operations before financing activities was due to a lower reduction in non-cash working capital compared to last year and the acquisition of Midwest, which more than offset higher earnings in the quarter compared to 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Fund used $3.7 million of cash from continuing operations before financing activities compared to $12.1 million generated the previous year.

Cash generated by continuing operating activities amounted to $24.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, with $18.3 million of cash generated from operating earnings Operating Earnings

 and $6.0 million of cash generated by changes in non-cash working capital. A significant component of the decrease in non-cash working capital included the following:

- Accounts receivable accounts receivable n. the amounts of money due or owed to a business or professional by customers or clients. Generally, accounts receivable refers to the total amount due and is considered in calculating the value of a business or the business' problems in paying  decreased by $4.4 million as a $9.5 million reduction in western Canada's Mobile Equipment operation, due mainly to collections related to large deliveries made at the end of September 2005, was offset in part by increased receivables Receivables

- For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 the Fund generated $13.5 million of cash from continuing operations compared to $22.1 million the previous year, and included $46.0 million of cash from operating earnings net of a $32.5 million increase in non-cash working capital due mainly to higher accounts receivable and inventory levels due to higher sales activities.

During the quarter the Fund invested a net amount of $9.1 million of the cash provided from operating activities. The investing activities included the $6.2 million acquisition of the shares of Midwest, $1.9 million of lift truck and JCB rental fleet additions in Mobile Equipment and other capital asset additions of $1.4 million.

Working capital from continuing operations, exclusive of funded debt and cash, decreased $13.5 million to $133.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $146.9 million at September, 2005. The decrease was due to the cash flow factors listed above and the $11.2 million increase in the distributions payable, partly reduced by the increase in working capital as a result of the Midwest acquisition.

Debt, net of cash, of $35.9 million, decreased $4.7 million compared to September 30, 2005 principally due to cash flows from continuing operations offset by $9.6 million of distributions paid in the quarter and the repayment Repayment

During the quarter, the Fund increased its bank credit facility from $95 million to $130 million at a cost of $0.3 million which will be amortized over the term of the facility. The fully secured bank credit facility, which expires June 7, 2008, is made up of a $30 million non-revolving term portion and a $100 million revolving term portion.

At December 31, 2005 the Fund had utilized $35.0 million of its $130 million bank credit facility, $5.7 million of its $15 million equipment financing facility and had cash balances of $4.8 million.

The Fund has entered into interest-rate swap contracts with two of its lenders, such that in total the interest rate on the $30 million non-revolving term portion of the bank credit facility is effectively fixed at 3.47% plus applicable margins until expiry of the facility on June 7, 2008.

 and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

"Earnings from continuing operations before interest and income taxes and income fund conversion-related items", is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is useful to investors because it excludes the impact of conversion-related items which are non-recurring in nature and therefore provide more meaningful information for investors, and management, to assess the ongoing financial performance of the Fund. A reconciliation between reported "Net earnings" and "Earnings from continuing operations before interest and income taxes and income fund conversion-related items" is detailed in the Consolidated Results section above.

"Distributable cash" and "Estimated distributable cash", and their per unit equivalents, are not recognized measures under GAAP, and the method of calculation adopted by the Fund may differ from methods used by other entities. Accordingly, "Distributable cash" and "Estimated distributable cash", and their per unit equivalents, as presented may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. The Fund believes that "Distributable cash" and "Estimated distributable cash", and their per unit equivalents, are useful financial metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM.  as they represent the key determination of cash flow available for distribution to unitholders. "Distributable cash" and "Estimated distributable cash", and their per unit equivalents, should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings as determined by GAAP. Distributable cash is calculated as cash flow from continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital, less maintenance capital expenditures and amortization of deferred financing costs. See the Distributable Cash and Estimated Distributable Cash sections below for the method of calculating the Fund's "Distributable cash" and "Estimated distributable cash".

"Maintenance capital expenditures" is not a recognized measure under GAAP, and the method of calculation adopted by the Fund may differ from methods used by other entities. The Fund believes that "Maintenance capital expenditures" represents cash expenditures required to maintain normal operations Generally and collectively, the broad functions that a combatant commander undertakes when assigned responsibility for a given geographic or functional area. Except as otherwise qualified in certain unified command plan paragraphs that relate to particular commands, "normal operations" of ."Maintenance capital expenditures" exclude acquisitions and land and building additions as they are considered to be expenditures that are not required to maintain normal operations. See the Distributable Cash and Estimated Distributable Cash sections below for the method of calculating "Maintenance capital expenditures".

Distributions

The Fund makes monthly cash distributions, generally payable to unitholders of record on the last business day of each calendar month and to be paid on or about the 20th day of the following month. The Fund may make special cash and/or special non-cash distributions at the end of the year to ensure, as provided in the Fund's Declaration of Trust, that the Fund's total distributions for the year are equal to its taxable income for the year.
Cash distributions to unitholders for the three months and the period
 ended December 31, 2005 were declared as follows:

On December 31, 2005, a special non-cash distribution of $0.14 per unit, or $2.3 million, was paid by way of additional Fund units to ensure, as provided in the Fund's Declaration of Trust, that the Fund's total distributions for the year equal its taxable income. Immediately after the issuance of the additional units, the outstanding Fund units were consolidated such that the number of Fund units was unchanged from the number held immediately prior to the special non-cash distribution.

During the quarter, the Fund increased its regular monthly distribution from $0.21 per unit to $0.23 per unit effective January January: see month.   1, 2006 to reflect the growth in the Fund's distributable cash. On January 10, 2006 and February February: see month.  10, 2006, the Fund declared cash distributions of $0.23 per unit for the months of January and February, payable on February 20, 2006 and March 20, 2006 to unitholders of record on January 31, 2006 and February 28, 2006, respectively. On March 7, 2006, the Fund announced a further increase in its monthly distribution to $0.25 per unit ($3.00 per unit annualized) for March 2006, payable on April 20, 2006, to unitholders of record on March 31, 2006.

For income tax purposes, the 2005 distributions declared of $2.03 per unit are 100% taxable in 2005 and treated as other income.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, Wajax Limited paid a dividend on common shares of $0.04 per share. For the period January 1, 2005 to June 14, 2005, Wajax Limited paid dividends on common shares totaling $0.14 per share ($0.16 per share for the year ending December 31, 2004).

For the quarter ending December 31, 2005 distributable cash was $15.5 million or $0.94 per unit. For the period June 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005, distributable cash was $33.5 million or $2.02 per unit. For the same period, distributions declared were $2.03 per unit comprised of cash distributions of $1.89 per unit and non-cash distributions of $0.14 per unit.

Distributable cash in excess of cash distributions of $0.13 per unit, or $2.2 million, provides the Fund an additional reserve for fluctuations in working capital requirements, growth capital expenditure requirements or future distributions.

Outlook

Results of continuing operations of the Fund have shown significant improvement over the last couple of years as a result of favourable economic conditions experienced in a number of the Fund's markets and primarily in the western Canada oil and gas sector and the Canadian mining segment. As well, profitability improvement and business building initiatives instituted over the last couple of years have also positively impacted revenue and earnings. Going into 2006, management expects the favourable economic conditions to continue and the Results of Operations section outlines the profitability and business building initiatives for each segment that will continue to be a focus for the upcoming year. As a result, management expects further improvements in operating results in 2006.

The Fund was created to indirectly acquire all the outstanding shares of Wajax Limited ("Wajax") and exchange those on an equal basis for Wajax Trust Units ("Units") in the Fund pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") effective June 15, 2005. The Fund is authorized au·thor·ize

The Fund is considered to be a continuation of Wajax following the continuity of interest method of accounting, which recognizes the Fund as the successor entity to Wajax. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if the Fund had always carried on the business formerly carried on by Wajax with all assets and liabilities recorded at the carrying values of Wajax.

In the second quarter, income fund conversion costs including audit fees, legal fees, investment advisory fees and other costs of $3,678 thousand were charged to trust units. Conversion-related costs of $2,606 thousand including the acceleration acceleration, change in the velocity of a body with respect to time.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements conform with those used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Wajax.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of Wajax for the year ended December 31, 2005.

In order to facilitate the Arrangement, on June 8, 2005 the Company entered into a new $95 million bank credit facility and repaid the U.S. senior notes and Series I and Series II debentures. The early extinguishment of the debt resulted in a $6.7 million pre-payment penalty and a $0.9 million write-off Write-Off

The Fund entered into interest-rate swap hedge contracts with two of its lenders, such that in total the interest rate on the $30 million of its non-revolving term portion of the credit facility is fixed at effectively 3.47% plus applicable margins until expiry of the facility on June 7, 2008.

No stock options were outstanding at the end of the year (2004 - 843,070). In 2004, 120,000 options with a price range of $10.22-$13.34 were excluded from the above calculations as they were anti-dilutive.

Note 8 Unit-based compensation plans

During the quarter no stock options were exercised. In 2004, 18,000 stock options were exercised with a weighted-average exercise price of $4.71. Wajax did not issue any employee stock options during the quarter.

Year to date, 843,070 (2004 - 42,500) stock options were exercised with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.30 (2004 - $4.19). Wajax did not issue any employee stock options during the year (2004 - 141,570 with an exercise price of $10.70 and a weighted average life of 9.13 years).

The Fund has replaced the former stock option plan with two new stock-based compensation plans: the Unit Ownership Plan in which certain members of management participate and the Trustee Deferred Unit Plan. Both plans issue rights to the participants which are settled by issuing Wajax Income Fund units. Compensation expense is determined based upon the fair value of the rights when issued and recognized over the vesting period. The Fund recorded compensation cost of $44 thousand for the quarter and $764 thousand for the year to date in respect of these plans.

Note 9 Financial Instruments

The Fund has entered into interest-rate swap contracts with two of its lenders, such that in total the interest rate on $30 million of its non-revolving term facility is effectively fixed at the 3.47 % plus applicable margins until expiry of the facility on June 7, 2008. The differential the Fund would receive to hypothetically terminate or exchange the swap agreement in the prevailing market conditions is estimated at $0.4 million.

Note 10 Discontinued Operations

On September 30, 2005 the assets of Spencer Industries ("Spencer"), the US based operation of Industrial Components, were sold for cash proceeds of $19.2 million. The results of operations, cash flows, and financial position of Spencer have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements since the Fund will not have a continuing involvement in the ongoing operations of the Spencer.
