    The Fund

    Teranet is a leading provider of integrated land-based information products andservices. It operates in Ontario and provides access to the Ontario Electronic

    Land Registration System through its proprietary software application,

    Teraview. This product enables customers to conduct electronic property

    registrations as well as title and Writs searches relating to real property.

    Teranets 80,000 customers include lawyers, paralegals, real estate brokers and

    agents, search houses, title insurers, financial institutions, corporations,

    governments, police services, utilities, investigators and appraisers. As of

    December 31, 2006, Teranet had approximately 17,650 licensed Teraview users.

    Teranet generates revenues through Land and Writs registrations and searches;

    Teraview software licensing fees and valued-added fees; and value-added

    services.

    Forecasts

    We forecast 2007, 2008 and 2009 revenues of $238 million, $242 million and

    $255 million; EBITDA of $165 million, $165 million and $174 million; and

    distributable cash per unit of $0.95, $0.91 and $0.97, respectively

    Valuation

    Our $10.50 target price is derived by applying 10x Price/Cash Flow and 14x

    EV/EBITDA to our 2009 estimates. This target price represents a 10% yield

    (non-taxed) on our 2009 distributable cash estimate.

    Recommendation

    Considering our forecasts, we are initiating coverage of Teranet with a

    Market Perform rating and a 2009 target price of $10.50, predominately

    based on a 7.7% after-tax yield on the DCPU with a benefit for the present

    value of the tax shelter.

    Company Description

    Teranet is a leading provider of integrated land-based information products and services

    Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Teranet operates in Ontario and provides access to the

    Ontario Electronic Land Registration System (ELRS) through its proprietary software

    application, Teraview. This product enables customers to conduct electronic propertyregistrations as well as title and Writs searches relating to real property (searches for claims

    against the property). Teranets 80,000 customers include lawyers, paralegals, real estate

    brokers and agents, search houses, title insurers, financial institutions, corporations

    governments, police services, utilities, investigators and appraisers. As of December 31, 2006

    Teranet had approximately 17,650 licensed Teraview users.

    Teranet has the exclusive licence (until March 31, 2017) from the Province of Ontario

    (Province) to access the data in and operate the ELRS, and to create and market value-added

    products and services in connection with the ELRS. If the exclusive licence is not renewed

    Teranet will have a perpetual non-exclusive right to access and use the ELRS. Additionally

    Teranet has an exclusive licence from the Province of Ontario to access and operate the Writs

    System in Ontario, and to create and market value-added products and services in connection

    with the Writs System, until and including March 31, 2017. If the exclusive licence is not

    renewed, Teranet has a non-exclusive right to provide remote access to the Writs until June 18

    2047.

    Teranet generates revenues through:

    1. Land and Writs registrations and searches;

    2. Teraview software licensing fees and valued-added fees; and

    3. value-added services.

    The transformation of electronic land information from paper and microfilm-based records is anon-revenue activity performed by Teranet under contract to the Ontario Ministry of

    Government Services. The transformation is funded by Teranet through revenue earned, debt

    financing and some funds from the government (the government has contributed $35 million of

    the total of $90 million required to fund the next phase of transformation, the Continuation

    Plan, which is set to commence in mid-2008). Although cash outlays by the company are

    expected to be incurred until full automation is achieved in 2011, the implementation expense i

    amortized until the end of the exclusive licence term in 2017.

    Ownership Structure

    On June 16, 2006, the fund successfully completed its IPO of 70,000,000 units at $10 per unit

    On July 10, 2006, the fund sold an additional 6.2 million units through the exercise of the over

    allotment option by its underwriters. (A total of 10.5 million units were available through the

    over-allotment). Total gross proceeds including the over-allotment were $762 million, with ne

    proceeds (net of underwriting fees and offering expenses) totalling roughly $714.2 million.

    1. Automation and Conversion of Ontarios Parcel Base

    Teranet is contracted by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services (MGS) to automate and

    convert Ontarios estimated 5.4 million land parcels. Millions of these parcels were converted

    by Teranet between 1991 and March 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 4.88

    million parcels have been automated, with roughly 520,000 remaining. Teranet estimates tha

    the land parcel base will grow to 6.0 million land parcels by 2011.

    Automation and conversion enable revenues and are a direct cost to Teranet financed fromrevenues and debt financing to a capped amount. Teranet has retained a $100 million credi

    facility (capex facility) to be used primarily for conversion and automation under certain

    contracts, while MGS has prepaid $35 million to Teranet for future automation and conversion

    activities. Teranat is currently using cash flows from operations to fund the conversions and

    has not used the $100 million credit facility.

    Beyond 100% automation (which we expect to be achieved in 2010), we forecast parcel base

    growth to continue at the historical (since 1973) CAGR of 2.4%, representing roughly 140,000

    parcels per year. The CAGR of parcel growth has historically outpaced the CAGR of Ontario

    population growth of 1.3%

    Teranet suggests that the number of properties has increased due to the increase in newcondominium developments and residential subdivisions, and that a single condominium uni

    generally consist of several parcels (dwelling unit, parking space and storage locker).

    2. Statutory Registrations

    For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, Statutory Registrations revenues of $27.5 million

    decreased from $30.0 million from Q4/05. Statutory Registrations represented 48% of tota

    revenues. Registration volumes of 455,698 decreased from 498,874 from Q4/05 as a result of a

    decline in Refinancing activity.

    The chart below shows that nominal home prices and total registrations appear to be

    positively correlated. Intuitively, this makes sense, as higher housing prices induce increased

    housing starts, housing permits, housing resales and refinancings, while housing price declines

    do not.

    3. Statutory Search

    Statutory searches, or searches of parcels in the ELRS, represented 8.6% of revenues for the

    year ended December 31, 2006, and grew 7% compared to 2005. Search volumes in the lates

    quarter were 587,558, or at 1.44x registration volumes. Teranet estimates that search volumes

    have typically tracked at roughly 1.2x registration volumes.

    4. Statutory Writs

    Statutory Writs are claims, liens or other orders issued by a court or other authority against a

    property. Writs filings and searches represented 12% of Teranet revenues for the year

    December 31, 2006, and declined by 3% compared to 2005. We believe the Statutory Writ

    system to be mature, and therefore to remain reasonably stable.

    5. Teraview

    Teraview is Teranets software application allowing electronic access to land information and

    related systems. Access fees consist of remote access fees received by Teranet in connection

    with electronic registrations and searches (onsite or remotely) via Teraview. Teraview fee

    represented 20% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting in 8% growth

    compared with 2005.

    6. Other Value-Added Services

    For the year ended December 31, 2006, Other Value Added Services represented 11% of

    revenues, and increased by 36% compared with 2005. Leveraging its core business capabilities

    creating complementary and related offerings, and offering products to different types of

    customers, value-added services represent a potential growth driver for the company.

    Strategic Opportunities

    1. Parcel Base Growth

    We calculate that the number of automated parcels in Ontario has grown between 290,000 and

    350,000 parcels per year since 2002. This represents annual increases of 79% in the

    automated parcel base available for electronic searches and registrations. Until automation

    converges toward 100% (which we estimate will occur at the end of 2010), we forecast annual

    increases in Ontarios automated parcel base to be roughly 5%.

    Given an increased base of automated land parcels at 5% per annum, under the assumption of

    stable registration activity, we would expect electronic search and registration activity to

    increase at a similar rate of 5%. As such, we believe that Teranet is somewhat insulated from

    negative volatility in the real estate arena to the effect of 5% per annum until 100% automation

    is achieved. Beyond 100% automation, we would expect the automated parcel base growth to

    increase at historical levels of roughly 2.4% per year, representing roughly 140,000 parcels per

    year.

    7/21

    BMO Capital Markets Teranet Income Fund

    Page 7 June 29, 2007

    2. Revenue Diversification

    For the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2006, Statutory Registrations and Statutory

    Search represented 48% of Teranets total revenues. Of this revenue base, less than half had a

    direct operational exposure to real estate activity (purchase/sale of property) in Ontario. The

    remaining portion of this revenue base includes refinancings (changes of lender or terms of

    mortgage), mortgage credits (reverse mortgages, second mortgages and lines of credit)maturity discharge (full payment of mortgage), title change transfers (typically after marriage o

    death), and other (transfers of easements, liens and application general). Although loosely

    correlated with real estate activity, these diverse revenue sources lower Teranets real estate

    activity exposure. We would also expect Statutory Writs, Teraview fees and other value-added

    services to have a low beta with overall real estate activity.

    3. Organic and Acquired Growth

    Teranets land information products are best of breed, with Ontario being the only province in

    Canada to offer both real-time search and registration. Teranets expertise is recognized

    worldwide, having provided consulting, systems integration and knowledge transfer services tointernational clients in Hong Kong, Lebanon, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Czech Republic and the

    Philippines. We would expect Teranet to pursue continued knowledge transfer within Canada

    and internationally through acquisitions, joint ventures, consulting and RFP wins.

    4. Increased Value-Added Services

    Value-added services were $26 million during 2006, representing 11% of consolidated revenues

    and representing revenue growth of 36% compared to 2005. Value added services remain a key

    area of focus for Teranet over the next few years in order to promote company growth. Given

    Teranets diverse customer network, we see opportunity to provide complementary products to

    the companys current customer base. For example, Teranet recently developed Unity, an e-

    commerce and payment processing infrastructure, which is being used for the online collection

    of parking fines, and for online payment processing for hospitals. We would expect Teranet to

    leverage its customer base, government relationships and expertise in continued development of

    value-added services.

    5. Unit Price Support Issuer Bid

    Teranet initiated a normal course issuer bid to purchase and cancel up to 5,000,000 million unit

    from November 17, 2006, to November 16, 2007. The issuer bid, if employed, would provide

    some support should Teranet unit prices decline. As at December 31, 2006, no trust units had

    been purchased under the normal course issuer bid. Considering the proposed change in

    income tax law for income trusts, we do not expect management to be overly aggressive with a

    particular use of funds until the future ownership options are more seriously considered (i.e

    should Teranet go private or remain a public company and if so should it acquire other

    companies).

  • 8/2/2019 Teranet Jun29Y07

    8/21

    BMO Capital Markets Teranet Income Fund

    Page 8 June 29, 2007

    Risks

    1. Income Trust Taxation. On October 31, 2006, Canadas Minister of Finance announced a

    proposed Tax Fairness Plan that would impose a tax on distributions made by income trust

    and limited partnerships. Management has noted that, Teranet will assess the proposed

    changes and is monitoring the situation. Teranet will continue to pay its distributions as

    planned, and any action it takes will be in the interest of maximizing long-term value for itunitholders. There remains uncertainty as to whether Teranet will continue to operate

    under an income trust structure, or convert to an operating business.

    2. Aggressive Payout. Teranet has a target payout ratio of 95%. Teranets exclusive licence

    agreements provide long-term stability to the companys operations. However, the high

    payout ratio exposes stability of cash distributions to shorter-term volatility in operations.

    3. Payout Increases Uncertain. Although Teranet has a target payout ratio of 95%, we are

    uncertain on the timing of when Teranet will increase its payout to reach the 95% ratio

    Teranets current payout ratio currently stands at 82%. Uncertainty as to the strategic

    direction of Teranet has likely lowered managements priority on increasing distributions a

    this time.

    4. Macro Sensitivities. Although Teranet does have a diversified revenue base that lowers its

    sensitivity to the real estate market, it does have some exposure to macro variables

    including the overall housing market, unemployment rate, economic activity and interes

    rates. We believe that Teranets diverse revenue and customer base somewhat insulates its

    operations from gradual changes in macro environment variables. However, sudden

    changes in the macro environment could adversely affect Teranets operations and resulting

    cash flow available for distribution.

    5. Limited Ability to Set Fees. Statutory search and registration fees are set by the Province

    The prospectus indicates that, the Province has advised that the Province is not

    contemplating fee increases. Management has indicated that there have been no feeincreases since 1999. There exists a risk that the government reduces fees, which would

    adversely affect Teranets revenues and distributable cash. However, a reduction in fees by

    the Province would likely cause Teranet to invoke the Material Adverse Impact clause of

    the contract. Therefore, it would seem unlikely that the government would ever move to

    reduce fees. In addition,there exists the risk that inflationary cost increases are not offse

    by corresponding fee increases. Teraviews fees are set by mutual agreement between

    Teranet and the Province. Value-added service fees are set by Teranet.

    6. Expiry of Exclusive Terms. Teranet currently retains exclusive licence rights to the ELRS

    and Writs until March 31, 2017.Upon expiry of the exclusive period, other parties may be

    permitted to offer similar services as Teranet. However, Teranet will retain the non

    exclusive rights to the ELRS until 2047, and in perpetuity for the Writs system.

    7. Royalty Payments to Begin in 2017. Prior to March 1, 2003, Teranet paid the Ontario

    Ministry of Government Services (MGS) a royalty equal to 25% of ELRS registration

    revenue, plus generally 5% of other services for which Teranet received fees. Teranet no

    longer pays royalties up to and including March 31, 2017.

  • 8/2/2019 Teranet Jun29Y07

    9/21

    BMO Capital Markets Teranet Income Fund

    Page 9 June 29, 2007

    After the expiration of the MGS Exclusive Term and the Writs Exclusive Term, each of

    which end on March 31, 2017, the company may be required to pay ELRS and Writs

    Royalties at rates to be negotiated by Teranet and MGS or Ministry of the Attorney

    General, Ontario (MAG).

    8. Dissident Shareholder. This shareholder, whose interest amounts to the equivalent of

    roughly 6.0 million Teranet Fund units, was made a share purchase offer of $52.5 million

    ($8.75 per share) based on fair value of the company as a taxable, privately held

    corporation. The dissenting shareholder has not accepted the offer. Teranet has retained

    cash to pay the fair value of the shares and the costs of any dissent process as determined

    by a court. Until the matter is resolved, there remains uncertainly concerning the settlemen

    amount.

    9. Long-Term Incentive Plans. In the past, Teranet appears to have been generous in

    compensating its senior executives with roughly $150 million of compensation to 15

    executives under long-term incentive plans over the past five years. The former long-term

    incentive plan was cancelled and paid in full prior to the IPO. (A cash payment of $78.5

    million was made in Q1/06).

    The former incentive plan has been replaced with one based on distributable cash flow per

    annum per unit exceeding $0.79 per share.

    We would expect incentive compensation to be much less than it has been in the past

    Combined with having already been paid a large sum of cash at cancellation of the former

    incentive plan, we believe there to be a risk associated with low financial motivation of

    Teranet executives. We do note that the prospectus outlines that Mr. Kaplanis has made a

    commitment to remain as President and CEO of Teranet for at least one year from April 1,

    2006. In the Q4/07 conference call, Mr.Kaplanis indicated that he did not plan to leave any

    time soon after the April 1, 2007, date. However, no firm guidance was provided as to how

    long he would stay on or if he had any plans in the future to transition out of the role.

    Recent Results

    On May 10, 2007, Teranet reported Q1/07results. Total revenues were $53.2 million

    representing a 2% decline from a year ago. Registration and Writs revenues declined by 7%

    and 3%, respectively, while Search revenue increased less than 1%. Teraviews fees and value

    added services grew by 5% and 45%, respectively. Registration volumes declined 7%, while

    Search volumes displayed the slowest growth in over four years, at 0.8%. These weak growth

    rates occurred despite a 1.6% increase in the Provinces parcel base and a 6.8% increase in

    Teranets automated parcel base. We attribute the weakness in Search volumes to the recen

    decline in Refinancing activity. Refinancing activity represents approximately 25% of Search

    and Registration revenues.

    EBITDA of $37.3 million increased by 23% year over year. The increase in EBITDA and

    margins was due to lower direct expenses, lower incentive expense, as well as lower expense

    for R&D and marketing expenses. Distributable cash in the quarter was $35.4 million or $0.23

    per unit, exceeding the quarterly distributions declared of $29.059 million or $0.1875 per unit

    This resulted in a payout ratio of 83% for the period.

    Taxation of Distributions

    On October 31, 2006, Canadas Minister of Finance announced a proposed Tax Fairness Plan

    that would impose a tax on distributions made by income trusts and limited partnerships

    Management has noted that, Teranet will assess the proposed changes and is monitoring the

    situation. Teranet will continue to pay its distributions as planned, and any action it takes wil

    be in the interest of maximizing long-term value for its unitholders. There remains uncertaintyas to whether Teranet will continue to operate under an income trust structure, or convert to an

    operating business.

    Operating under a trust structure, distributions would be taxed by 31.5% at the trust level

    beginning in 2011. Teranet has noted in the past that it has a target payout ratio of 95%, and

    that distributions are expected to be 100% taxable. Teranets current payout ratio is 70%. We

    are uncertain at this time regarding a timeframe for Teranet to reach its 95% payout ratio.

    Capital Expenditures

    Maintenance capital expenditures include items such as disk storage devices, network serversand other computer hardware devices. Maintenance capital expenditures have averaged

    approximately $5.8 million over the last three fiscal years, which management believes

    represents a higher than normal expenditure level due to a recently constructed data centre

    Based on Teranets normalized historical annual maintenance capital expenditures

    management expects that annual maintenance capital expenditures will be approximately $5

    million.

    Forecasts

    We forecast 2007, 2008 and 2009 revenues of $238 million, $242 million and $255 million

    EBITDA of $165 million, $165 million and $174 million; and distributable cash per unit of

    $0.95, $0.91 and $0.97, respectively. Our forecasts are summarized below.

    Valuation

    We have considered valuing Teranet in several fashions. Many industry fundamentals have

    influenced our sense of the growth rates of the industry and Teranet, namely:

    i) Teranet is an extremely well-established and profitable business.

    ii) The business growth rate is expected to be slightly better than the long-term growth rate forOntario Real Estate transaction volume.

    A) Contributing factors:

    a) Teranet is nearing the completion of the digitization of the database. Work

    to digitize the records has supplemented the growth rate to date. As this work

    is completed, the reported growth rate should approach that of the long-term

    growth rate of the real estate industry.

    b) Toronto is the largest city in Canada and, as such, tends to attract a greater

    proportion of immigrants to Canada to the city, thus fuelling the Ontario Real

    Estate transaction growth rate beyond the growth rate of the Canadianpopulation growth rate.

    c) Teranet processes transactions for other industries beyond Real Estate. We

    have forecast this division to grow faster than the Real Estates division

    growth rate, due to its small size and its potential.

    d) On a worldwide basis, Toronto is perceived as a relatively inexpensive

    place to live. According to a recently published study (June 2007) by Merce

    Human Resource Consulting, Toronto was ranked the 82nd most expensive

    city in the world to live in, down from 47th last year. (No city in Canada

    ranked above Toronto.) Considering the rise in real estate values around the

    world, we believe the slip in ranking is due to Torontos real estate inflationnot keeping pace with other cities of the world.

    B) Detracting factors:

    a) The strength of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar is likely to

    dampen the manufacturing sector in Ontario, and thus slow the economy and

    demand for real estate.

    b) The slump in demand in the auto sector is likely to hurt the growth of the

    Ontarian economy, as a number of manufacturing plants for the North

    American auto industry are located in Ontario.

    c) During the past five years, transaction activity has been above average

    While activity could remain strong if interest rates remain low, we expect a

    modest rise in interest rates in the near term and, as such, a slowing of the

    industry growth rate is likely.

    iii) Teranet has an exclusive relationship with the Ontario government to provide access to the

    Ontario Electronic Land Registration System (ELRS) through its proprietary software

  • 8/2/2019 Teranet Jun29Y07

    12/21

    BMO Capital Markets Teranet Income Fund

    Page 12 June 29, 2007

    application, Teraview. Unfortunately, Teranet does not have pricing control for the Teraview

    product.

    iv) Teranet does offer other value-added services beyond access to the ELRS, for which Terane

    has pricing control. While margins are expected to be less than the Teraview margins, the

    business should contribute nicely to the overall profitability of the company. Ultimately

    however, corporate margins should decline as this division increases in importance.

    v) Approximately half of the value-added service revenue is directly related to the growth of the

    real estate industry in Ontario.

    Valuation Methods

    1) If we consider Teranet as a transaction processor, a $10.04 valuation is derived by applying

    10x Price/Cash Flow and 14x EV/EBITDA to our 2009 estimates. This valuation represents a

    10% yield (non-taxed) on our 2009 distributable cash estimate.

    Table 2: Valuation Metrics

    2) Our second valuation method considers applying a 7.7% yield on our post-tax-distributablecash per unit (DCPU) forecast and then adding back the present value of the tax shield until2011.

    Source: BMO Capital Markets

    3) Our third method considers a discounted cash flow analysis. We have assumed that theOntario real estate market growth rate will slow slightly this year and next. This will also slow

    the rate of growth of other value-added revenues. Following this period, we have forecast the

    Statutory revenue (pricing controlled by the Ontario government) growth rate to recover

    somewhat with revenue growth of 34%. The growth rate of other value-added services i

    slowed to mid-single digits and then forecast to accelerate growth to high single digits.

    Pricing set by the Ontario government: Management does not see a price increase for a numbe

    of years. Should inflation become strong, a price increase is possible. Management suggest

    that the Ministry has also considered a price decrease as a possible scenario. Considering the

    small cost of search to the sale value of a property, the uncertainty regarding the governments

    pricing intentions, and the highly profitable nature of the business, we have assumed no price

    changes in our forecast horizon.

    4) i) Using a discount factor of 10% and a terminal value multiple of 13x our 2018 cash flow

    estimate suggests a 2009 DCF valuation per unit of $11.13.

    Investment Thesis

    Teranet operates a stable business, with high barriers to entry through exclusive

    government licences. Unfortunately, Teranet does not have significant pricing power

    for its core products. While exposed to the real estate industry, Teranet has limited

    exposure to any one single aspect of the housing market, thus minimizing its housing

    market beta. (Roughly 30% of total revenues are directly related to real estate activity

    i.e. transaction volume related to buying and selling of properties. The companyremaining revenues are tied more generally to real estate activity, through refinancings

    mortgage credits, maturity discharges, title change transfers, automated valuations

    other non-related services including payment processing.)

    Our forecasts currently incorporate a slowing housing market over the next two years

    with the expectation of a decline of 2% and 0% in 2007 and 2008 for total registration

    volumes. However, we continue to expect growth in the Provinces parcel base and the

    number of properties automated providing opportunity for longer-term growth.

    Teranets current payout ratio was 82% in Q1/07. For 2007, the current payout ratio

    represents 79% of our forecast distributable cash, below the stated payout ratio of 95%.

    With a payout ratio below 100%, we would normally assume that any accumulatedcash will be used to increase unitholder value, including accretive acquisitions, unit

    buybacks or debt reductions. However, we do not expect a significant change in the

    payout structure until management formally determines the future corporate direction

    of the company (privatization or not) and determines the most favourable use of funds

    (to remain in the company for acquisitions, or to be paid out).

    On December 13, 2006, 62.7 million units and shares, or roughly 40% of total

    outstanding units and shares, came off of lockup. We consider this large sum o

    tradable units and shares could be an overhang for the stock in the short term.

    With recent changes in the legislation related to income trusts, we are uncertain of the

    direction management will take the company. Acquisitions, although accretive, mayincrease the risk profile of Teranets stable business model; while a conversion to a

    corporation may prompt immediate taxation of operations (whereas Teranet is currently

    tax exempt for the next four years), lowering margins and the companys overall

    earnings growth profile.

    Recommendation

    Considering our forecasts, we are initiating coverage of Teranet with a Market Perform rating

    and a 2009 target price of $10.50, predominately based on a 7.7% after tax yield on the DCPU

    with a benefit for the present value of the tax shelter.

    Company Risk DisclosureIn addition to the risks involved in investing in common stocks generally, we also highlight the following risks that pertain to this company. Teranecurrently has an exclusive license with the government. It is possible that this exclusive license could be terminated under licence agreement and writlicence agreement. Termination of the Writs Licence Agreement would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and resultof operations of the Fund.

    A substantial portion of the Funds revenues consists of fees received in connection with search and/or registration activity in the ELRS and the WritsSystem. The level of search and/or registration activity depends on a number of factors that are not within the control of the Fund, such as the strength

    of the economy in Ontario, consumer confidence, employment rates, and lending rates and the business practices of users. A significant reduction in thelevel of registration and/or search activity, as a result of these or other factors, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial conditionand results of operations of the Fund.

    The Fund has limited ability to set fees. Fees for services within the Basic Service, which are not controlled by statute, are set by the mutual agreemenof the Fund and the Province, and accordingly, the Province must consent to any increases in such fees and the Province is not obliged to do so.Disagreements may arise between the Fund and the Province in a number of areas. The Fund may not be able to resolve any potential disagreementwith the Province and, even if such disagreements are resolved, the resolution may be on terms and conditions less favourable to the Fund. A definedprocess exists within the agreements to deal with potential disagreements with the Province.

    Although the Fund intends to pay its monthly distributions, there can be no assurance regarding the amounts of income to be generated by the Fundsbusiness or ultimately distributed to the Fund. The actual amount distributed in respect of the units is not guaranteed and depends on numerous factorsincluding the Funds profitability, the fluctuation in the Funds working capital and capital expenditures.

    On March 29, 2007, the Minister of Finance (Canada) tabled legislation (the SIFT Proposals) in the House of Commons to implement proposals

    originally announced on October 31, 2006, that, if enacted, would change the manner in which certain flow-through entities, referred to as specifiedinvestment flow-through entities or SIFTs, and the distributions from such entities, would be taxed. No assurance can be given that the Fund will beable to maintain its status as a Grandfathered SIFT until January 1, 2011. Loss of this status may result in material adverse tax consequences for theFund and its Unitholders. No assurance can be given that the SIFT Proposals will be enacted in their present form. The provisions of any enactedlegislation may be materially different than the provisions in the SIFT Proposals and/or the Normal Growth Guidelines.

    No assurances can be given that legislation (including regulations, policies, decisions or orders enacted thereunder) which is currently in force andaffecting the Company, the ELRS or the Writs System will not be amended or enforced otherwise than in accordance with current practices or new lawsenacted. Such amendments, changes in practices or new laws may have a material and adverse consequence to the Fund in the future.
