FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at May 31, 2006 Auditors’ Report To the Shareholders of the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.) We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.) as at May 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of earnings, changes in net assets and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the re sponsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as at May 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 1. I ncorporation Act Statutes and objectives of the Fund The Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.) (the “Fund”), incorporated by an Act of the Québec National Assembly, is a publicly funded company with the following objectives: a) to invest in Québec business enterprises and provide them with services in order to create, maintain or protect jobs; b) to invest in business enterprises whose activities outside Québec contribute to creating or maintaining jobs or economic activity in Québec; c) to promote the training of workers in economic matters to enable them to increase their influence on Québec’s economic development; d) to stimulate the Québec economy by making strategic investments that will be of benefit to Québec workers and business enterprises; e) to promote the development of Québec business enterprises by inviting workers to participate in that development by purchasing Fund’s shares. To this end, the Fund endeavours to concentrate most of its investments in unsecured investments, mainly in small and medium-sized enterprises, granting priority to proposals from enterprises where workers are members of unions affiliated with the Québec Federation of Labour (Q.F.L.) and using a sector-based strategy. As a general rule, the Fund will take a minority interest in the projects in which it invests. 60% rule The Fund may invest in any business enterprise with or without security. However, in any given fiscal year, the proportion of unsecured investments made in qualified business enterprises must represent an average of at least 60% of the Fund’s average net assets of the previous year. In 2006, this figure is 53.2% (55.6% in 2005). Because the Fund did not satisfy the 60% rule as at May 31, 2006 and 2005, it must limit its share issue next fiscal year to 75% of the total value of shares issued in the preceding period, except for shares acquired through payroll deduction and employer contributions stipulated in agreements concluded at the end of the preceding period. For the year ending May 31, 2007, the 60% rule limits the Fund’s share issue to approximately $555 million. 6 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 2. Significant accounting policies Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and investment companies that are subsidiaries or variable interest entities of which the Fund is the primary beneficiary. Use of estimates The presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions, in particular when determining allowances and in the valuation of investments and other investments that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recognition of financial instruments Financial instruments are recognized on the transaction date. Valuation of financial instruments All investments and other investments are valued at the fair value, established as follows: a) Unlisted financial instruments Unlisted financial instruments consist of shares, partnership units, loans and advances, guarantees and suretyships, and money market securities. These instruments are valued according to appropriate methods of valuation, including comparison to arm’s-length transactions or takeover bids and the capitalization or discounting of cash flows. Units of funds of hedged funds are valued at the value set by their respective managers at the date closest to the Fund’s year-end. b) Listed financial instruments Listed financial instruments consist of shares, partnership units and bonds. These instruments are valued at their closing price. In exceptional instances, when the closing price does not adequately reflect the fair value, these securities are then valued according to appropriate methods of valuation, including methods established for unlisted securities. c) Derivative financial instruments As part of its investment and other investment activities, the Fund uses a number of derivative financial instruments mainly to hedge its exposure to market fluctuations and fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments authorized under the overall financial assets management policy are: - put or call options; - swap agreements; - futures contracts. 7 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Valuation of financial instruments (continued) c) Derivative financial instruments (continued) These derivative financial instruments are valued in accordance with appropriate methods of valuation, including the use of option valuation models. For all other financial assets and liabilities for which the fair value has not been disclosed, the carrying value approximates the fair value. Securities loans To generate additional income, the Fund carries out security loan transactions on its portfolio of shortterm securities, stocks and bonds. This income is recorded under Fees and other income in Note 11. Capital assets Capital assets are accounted for at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful life using the following methods and annual rates: Buildings Office furniture and equipment Computer hardware and software Information systems development Methods Rates straight-line diminishing balance straight-line straight-line 2.5% 20.0% 25.0% 33.3% A recoverability test is applied to capital assets when it is determined that their book value may not be recoverable due to certain events or changes in circumstances. An impairment loss is recorded when their carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows that would result from their ultimate use and disposal. The recognized impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. Revenue recognition a) Dividends Dividends are recorded from the date they were declared, except for cumulative dividends, which are recorded on an accrual basis. b) Gains and losses on disposal of investments and other investments Gains and losses on disposal of investments and other investments are recorded at the time of sale and represent the difference between the sale proceeds and the average cost, without taking into consideration the unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded in previous years, which is reversed and taken into account under Change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. 8 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) Revenue recognition (continued) c) Derivative financial instruments Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Statement of Earnings. Employee future benefits The cost of pensions and other retirement benefits earned by employees is actuarially determined using the projected benefit method prorated on service and management’s best estimate of expected plan performance, salary escalation, retirement ages of employees, and expected healthcare costs. For the purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. Net actuarial gains or losses which are greater than 10% of the accrued benefit obligation or the fair value of the plan assets, whichever is higher, are amortized over the average remaining service life of active employees. The average remaining service life of covered active employees is between 10 and 16.4 years for 2006 and 2005. The transitional obligation of the individual insurance plan is amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period of active employees. Foreign currency translation Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the yearend exchange rate. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the State ment of Earnings. Income taxes The Fund uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income taxes are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities and their tax bases, using the enacted and substantively enacted income tax rates for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. 9 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 3. Changes in accounting policies Changes in the following accounting policies related to generally accepted accounting principles and to investment companies were applied on a prospective basis effective June 1, 2004. Generally accepted accounting principles On June 1, 2004, the Fund applied the requirements of Section 1100 of the CICA Handbook, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” on a prospective basis. This section establishes standards for financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It also specifies the sources that should be consulted when selecting accounting policies or when determining which information to disclose in instances where a matter has not explicitly been addressed in GAAP’s primary sources. The application of this standard eliminates certain practices that could have been applied in a specific industry. The Fund therefore revised its methods of determining the fair value of its investments and other investments. Thus, as at June 1, 2004, a decrease in revenues of $5 million was recorded in the Statement of Earnings under Changes in accounting policies. This decrease stems from the discontinuation of the general allowance used to specifically provide for unidentified losses, therefore increasing revenues by $91 million, and from changes made to certain parameters for determining the fair value of investments, resulting in a decrease in revenues of $99 million. Also, the Fund uses the closing price to determine the fair value of its listed securities instead of the weighted price, which was established using the average fifty-day closing prices ending on the balance sheet date, thereby increasing revenues by $3 million. Investment companies The Fund opted for early application of the Guideline on Investment Companies. This Guideline establishes criteria for determining whether an enterprise is an investment company. It specifies that investments held by an investment company must be accounted for at the fair value. However, investment companies that are variable interest entities for which the Fund is the primary beneficiary (Guideline on Variable Interest Entities) or that are subsidiaries, must be consolidated. The bonds held by the Fund are accounted for at their fair value. Bonds were previously valued at their unamortized cost. As at June 1, 2004, this change resulted in an increase in revenues of $27.3 million, presented in earnings under Changes in accounting policies. As at June 1, 2004, the consolidation of investment companies resulted in a decrease of $215 million in investments and $232 million in loans, and created minority interest of $26 million. As well, for the year ended May 31, 2005, the consolidation increased revenues and operating expenses by $15.4 million. However, the consolidation did not have an effect on net earnings and net assets or on earnings and the net value per Class A share. 10 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.)

Funds committed but not disbursed represent investments that have already been agreed to and for which amounts have been committed by the Fund but have not been disbursed as at year-end. 2. Under Section 17 of its Incorporation Act, when the Fund makes an investment in the form of a guarantee or a suretyship, it must establish and maintain a reserve equal to at least 50% of the guarantee or suretyship amount for the term thereof. This reserve has been established from Other investments. 13 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 4. Investments (continued) The Fund granted guarantees and suretyships that do not generally include a specific maturity and that are irrevocable commitments by the Fund to make the payments of partner companies that cannot meet their obligations to third parties for an undiscounted total maximum amount and for the following purposes: (In thousands) Loans on real estate projects Operating activities and operating line of credit - without recourse Maximum amount 2006 $ 2005 $ 27,271 16,404 43,675 27,271 29,718 56,989 Unrealized depreciation of guarantees and suretyships for an amount of $3.6 million as at May 31, 2006 and 2005 is presented in Accounts payable. As well, in the normal course of business, the Fund concluded several indemnification agreements. Indemnification is usually related to transfers of investments for the representations and warrantees made as well as to the liability of Fund’s managers, directors or representatives toward partner companies; this liability is covered by liability insurance. Due to the nature of these agreements, it is impossible to estimate the maximum amount that the Fund may have to pay to counterparties. In management’s opinion, it is highly unlikely that these commitments will result in material expenses. 5.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As at May 31, 2006 and 2005 5. Other investments (continued) The notional value represents the determined theoretical value of the underlying principal of a derivative, set only to serve as a reference for the application of an exchange rate, interest rate, stock market price or market index value. The notional amount does not reflect the credit or market risk inherent to the contracts. The credit risk relates to the possibility that the other party involved in the transaction may not honour its commitments. The Fund reduces this risk by only dealing with institutions that have a solid credit rating, such as defined in the financial asset management policy approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The market risk relates to potential losses resulting from interest rate, foreign exchange and stock market fluctuations. The Fund manages that risk by limiting its use of derivative financial instruments mainly to preserve assets value, to facilitate changes in asset allocation, to manage the index- linked portion of its portfolio, to facilitate portfolio management and to enhance its yield within the limits of allowable risk.

Loans Interest on loans is determined based on the rate of return of Other investments. These loans are renewable monthly and repayable on demand. The fair value of these loans, issued mainly to related real estate companies, corresponds to their book value. The interest rate is 4.5% (5.25% in 2005). In addition, the Fund has credit facilities amounting to $40.5 million ($30.7 million in 2005) bearing interest at prime and renewable annually.

Net assets Share capital Authorized Class A shares Unlimited number of Class A shares to be issued in Series 1 and 2, without par value, voting, redeemable and non-transferable unless approved by a resolution of the Board of Directors. Class A shares, Series 1 and 2, can be exchanged for shares of another series and rank pari passu. However, Class A shares, Series 1, may only be issued to an individual requesting their transfer to a trustee under a registered retirement savings plan. Class G shares Unlimited number of Class G shares, without par value, non-voting, without dividends, non-transferable and non-redeemable. In the event of a deficit, the Class G shareholders have priority in assuming the deficit up to the amount of the consideration paid for such shares; and, in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or any distribution in whole or in part of the assets of the Fund, these shares grant their holders the right to be reimbursed after all the Class A shareholders have been reimbursed. Class B shares Unlimited number of Class B shares, without par value, non-voting, non-participating, entitled to a preferential dividend at the rate determined by the Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation, the Class B shares rank prior to Class A and G shares. Subscribed capital Subscribed capital represents money cashed but for which no Class A share can be issued in consideration pursuant to the Fund’s purchase-by-agreement policy. These Class A shares will be issued at the moment provided in the policy at the share price in effect at that date. Terms of redemption Class A shares are generally redeemable only in cases where a shareholder who has purchased the shares from the Fund reaches the age of 55 and avails himself of his right to an early retirement or has reached 65 years of age. The redemption price is determined semi-annually based on the value of the Fund. Shareholders may also withdraw their initial investment in the Fund within 60 days of the contribution date or the date of the first payroll deduction. This withdrawal, however, will cancel the right to the tax credit. The Fund can redeem Class A shares only in cases provided under the purchase-by-agreement policy voted by the Board of Directors and approved by the Minister of Finance. 19 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.)

Net assets (continued) Issued and paid-up capital and transfer At the annual shareholders’ meeting held on November 8, 2003, the shareholders voted to ratify Regulation No. 68 allowing directors, by simple resolution, to increase or decrease the amount of issued and paid -up capital on outstanding Series 1 Class A shares and to use any contributed surplus to eliminate or reduce the deficit. On May 21, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to reduce the issued and paid-up capital on Series 1 Class A shares by an amount of $500 million through a transfer to contributed surplus. A transfer of $164.8 million was then made from contributed surplus to eliminate the deficit. During the year, the Board of Directors approved resolutions to increase the issued and paid-up capital on Series 1 Class A shares by $80 million ($195 million in 2005) through a transfer from retained earnings. As at May 31, 2006, the Fund had transferred an aggregate of $1,024 million from retained earnings to issued and paid-up capital. 20 FONDS DE SOLIDARITÉ DES TRAVAILLEURS DU QUÉBEC (F.T.Q.)

These defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and average annual salary. The average annual salary represents the average annual salary over 36 months of consecutive service, which results in the highest average. Also, since July 1, 2003, the Fund has had an optional personal insurance plan for retire d employees.

Related party transactions In the normal course of business, the Fund conducts transactions with related companies that are either controlled or subject to significant influence by the Fund. Given the amount and nature of the Fund’s investments, a substantial number of them are made in related companies. These transactions consist predominantly of interest and dividend revenues on investments and certain operating expenses, mainly, premiums paid under insurance plans. The Fund, most of whose directors are elected by the QFL, paid the latter $1.3 million each year for the years ended May 31, 2006 and 2005 under a protocol and agreements that call for compensation to be paid for services rendered in respect of economic training, social audits, shareholder development, and support and guidance of certain entities. These transactions are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. The Fund incorporated the Fondation de la formation économique du Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec (F.T.Q.) (the “Fondation”) under Part III of the Québec Companies Act and elects the members of the Fondation’s board of directors. The Fund granted the Fondation a loan of $5 million at a variable, contingent interest rate, with a fair value of $3.4 million ($3.2 million in 2005). The Fund issued non-interest bearing loans of $20 million with a fair value of $17 million ($16.1 million in 2005) to the two Fonds étudiant solidarité travail du Québec (FESTQ), related entities because the Fund elects some of the officers jointly with the Government of Québec. These loans are presented in the Balance Sheet under Accounts receivable and other assets. 15.
