CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS IN THE FOREST PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

19. Pursuant to the First Stay Extension Order, the Monitor has provided this Honourable Court with regular reports on the Petitioners’ cash flows for each reporting period following the date of the First Stay Extension Order. These reports have included details with respect to the market conditions in the forest products industry.

20. According to a report issued on April 2, 2010 by RISI.com (a leading forest products publication, the “RISI Report”) the Petitioners, along with the majority of North American newsprint producers, have recently announced two increases

- 6 -

in the price of newsprint, each in the amount of $25 per tonne, effective May 1, 2010 and June 1, 2010. The RISI Report notes that these two price increases represent the third and fourth such price increases in 2010.

21. The RISI Report also notes that, based upon a survey of significant producers, pulp prices are set to increase in April. The RISI Report notes that this increase will be the tenth in the last eleven months, indicating a very strong pulp market. BCFPI produces pulp at its Thunder Bay facility.

22. According to a report on RandomLengths.com, a leading lumber industry publication, the Random Lengths Framing Composite Index for the week of April 23, 2010, which tracks a mix of lumber grades used in the construction industry, has increased from $212 per thousand board feet to $365 per thousand board feet over the last 12 months. As detailed in Appendices “I” and “J” of this Forty-First Report, the Petitioners have experienced an increase in lumber pricing over the last number of months.

23. With respect to transactions in the forest products industry, Domtar Corporation (“Domtar”) announced on March 29, 2010 that it would be selling its forest products business to EACOM Timber Corporation. The sawmills sold by Domtar are capable of producing approximately 900 million board feet of lumber per year and the transaction is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2010.

25. As detailed in the twenty-ninth report of the Monitor dated December 16, 2009 (the “Twenty-Ninth Report”) the sale of the ACCC MPCo Interest closed on December 9, 2009 for gross proceeds of CDN$615 million (the “Proceeds”). Certain of the Proceeds were paid to the Monitor for distribution as follows:

(i) CDN$200.0 million to the Senior Secured Noteholders (i.e. the holders of the 13.75% notes due 2011); and

(ii) CDN$130.0 million to the ACI Group pursuant to the ULC DIP Facility.

26. The Monitor continues to hold the following amounts related to the sale of the ACCC MPCo Interest pursuant to an order of this Honourable Court dated November 16, 2009:

(i) $45.0 million that is available as liquidity to the ACI Group subject to providing notice to certain creditors (the “ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Notice”);

- 8 -

(ii) $45.0 million that is available to the ACI Group subject to Court approval for the use of such funds (the “ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Court Approval”); and

(iii) Approximately $47.1 million that is not available to the ACI Group (the “Restricted ULC Reserve Deposit”). The Monitor will continue to hold these funds until further order of this Honourable Court.

27. Pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, funds related to the sale of certain DCorp recycling assets (approximately $11.3 million, the “Recycling Proceeds”) and funds related to the sale of DCorp’s West Tacoma mill (approximately $4.1 million, the “West Tacoma Proceeds”)are only available to the ACI Group on ten days’ notice to the agent for the ACCC Term Lenders. The Recycling Proceeds and West Tacoma Proceeds are held in a designated account and are separate from the ACI Group’s general operating funds.

28. Subsequent to the Reporting Period, the Monitor received approximately $2.6 million related to the sale of ACCC’s St. Raymond sawmill (the “St. Raymond Proceeds”). The St. Raymond Proceeds will be held by the Monitor until further order of this Honourable Court.

29. As shown in the table above, the ACI Group’s total receipts for the Reporting Period, net of joint venture remittances, were approximately $34.9 million higher than projected in the ACI Forecast. Disbursements were approximately $14.9 million higher than projected in the ACI Forecast and Financing net cash flows were approximately $12.9 million more than projected in the ACI Forecast. Overall, the ending cash balance was approximately $7.1 million higher than the ACI Forecast and Immediately Available Liquidity was approximately $6.0 million higher than the ACI Forecast.

30. “Immediately Available Liquidity” in the chart above includes cash on hand plus liquidity available pursuant to the ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Notice

- 9 -

and amounts available through the ACI Group’s Amended Securitization Program. “Total Available Liquidity” includes Immediately Available Liquidity plus the ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Court Approval, the Recycling Proceeds and the West Tacoma Proceeds. Proceeds received from the sale of DCorp’s Lufkin facility will be included in Total Available Liquidity when the sale closes (approximately $20.5 million, the “Lufkin Proceeds”).

Receipts

31. A breakdown of the receipts for the Reporting Period is outlined in the table below:

			$US 000
Receipts	Para.		Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections	32	(i)	$	194,299		$	174,112		$	20,187		12	%
Intercompany A/R Settlement	32	(i)		24,748			—			24,748		N/A
Joint Venture Remittances, Net	32	(ii)		(17,954	)		(20,905	)		2,951		14	%
Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures	32	(ii)		2,886			20,303			(17,417	)	(86	%)
Net A/R Collections				203,979			173,510			30,469		18	%
Other Inflows	32	(iii)		20,321			15,936			4,385		28	%
Total Receipts			$	224,300		$	189,446		$	34,854		18	%

32. The variance analysis has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents the more significant reasons for the variances:

(i) A/R Collections, inclusive of receipts related toIntercompany A/R Settlements, netJoint Venture Remittances, andCollections on Behalf of Joint Ventures, were approximately $204.0 million during the Reporting Period compared to a forecast amount of $173.5 million resulting in a positive variance of approximately $30.5 million. This difference is primarily due to the timing of customer receipts.

Intercompany A/R Settlements represent payments to the ACI Group from an affiliated ABH Group entity for ACI Group accounts receivable that were collected by the affiliated entity, such as BI or BCFPI.

- 10 -

(ii) Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures totalled approximately $2.9 million during the Reporting Period. This amount represents amounts collected by the ACI Group for accounts receivable that belong to a joint venture partner. Such amounts will be paid to the joint venture partner on a monthly basis or in accordance with the joint venture agreement. The collections on behalf of joint ventures were $2.9 million for the Reporting Period as compared to a forecast amount of approximately $20.3 million, resulting in a negative variance of approximately $17.4 million.

This variance is partly due to the fact that certain portions of amounts collected on behalf of joint ventures are also included in the “A/R Collections” line and have not yet been specifically allocated to “Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures” as these amounts are allocated on a monthly basis.

During the Reporting Period, disbursements related toJoint Venture Remittances totalled approximately $18.0 million resulting in a positive variance of approximately $3.0 million. This is primarily due to lower than forecast remittances to the Augusta joint venture.

(iii) Other Inflows, which includes sales of woodchips to third parties, tax refunds and other miscellaneous receipts, totalled approximately $20.3 million during the Reporting Period. The ACI Forecast included projected receipts of $15.9 million, resulting in a positive variance of approximately $4.4 million. Significant receipts included:

(a) Approximately $11.7 million for the sale of wood chips; and

(b) Approximately $6.3 million of deposits made at the mill level (which include deposits for local sales, refunds from various suppliers and other deposits).

- 11 -

Disbursements

33. A breakdown of the disbursements related toNet Trade Disbursements for the Reporting Period is outlined below:

			$US 000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Trade Payables	34	(i)	$	(154,116	)	$	(120,229	)	$	(33,887	)	(28	%)
Intercompany A/P Settlement	34	(i)		9,133			—			9,133		N/A
Capital Expenditures	34	(ii)		—			(3,754	)		3,754		100	%
Net Trade Disbursements			$	(144,983	)	$	(123,983	)	$	(21,000	)	(17	%)

34. The variance analysis with respect to the disbursements for the more significant variances has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the variances:

(i) Disbursements related toTrade Payables were approximately $154.1 million during the Reporting Period, which was approximately $33.9 million greater than the ACI Forecast. This negative variance can be explained by the fact that:

(a) Capital Expenditures have been included in the actual amount forTrade Payables disbursements until such time as the ACI Group identifies and allocates the disbursements which are capital in nature;

(b) The ACI Group regularly disburses amounts on behalf of other affiliated entities which are included inTrade Payables (as noted above, the ACI Group was reimbursed by affiliates for approximately $9.1 million of such amounts, detailed on theIntercompany A/P Settlements line, during the Reporting Period). The quantum of amounts disbursed on behalf of other entities is not known until such time as the Petitioners reconcile their intercompany accounts, which is done on a regular basis; and

- 12 -

(c) Production in both woodland operations and at the ACI Group’s paper mills was higher than forecast. This increase resulted in disbursements related toTrade Payables being approximately $16.7 million higher than contemplated in the ACI Forecast.

(ii) As noted above,Capital Expenditures are not tracked on a weekly basis. The disbursements related to capital expenditures have been included in theTrade Payables disbursement line. Management has advised the Monitor that capital expenditures for the months of February and March, 2010 totalled approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

35. The net disbursements related to intercompany collections are detailed in the chart below:

			$US 000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast		Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections - Affiliates	35	(i)	$	23,068		$	—	$	23,068		N/A
Intercompany A/R Settlements	35	(ii)		(25,054	)		—		(25,054	)	N/A
			$	(1,986	)	$	—	$	(1,986	)	N/A

(i) A/R Collections – Affiliates totalled approximately $23.1 million during the Reporting Period. As part of its normal Cash Management System, the ACI Group regularly collects accounts receivable on behalf of other ABH Group entities. As it is not possible to forecast which customers will incorrectly pay the ACI Group on behalf of the other entities, collections on behalf of affiliates are not forecast by the Petitioners. The funds are paid on a regular basis by the ACI Group to the appropriate ABH Group entity, which payments are reflected in theIntercompany A/R Settlements line of the “Intercompany” section of the cash flow statement. As discussed in the next section, an amount of approximately $25.1 million was paid out to affiliates during the Reporting Period by the ACI Group to reimburse affiliates for collections made on their behalf by the ACI Group.

- 13 -

(ii) The ACI Group does not forecast the disbursement ofIntercompany A/R Settlements as it is not possible to predict which customers will pay the incorrect ABH Group entity for accounts receivable. The corresponding receipt of these amounts collected from affiliate customers is included in theA/R Collections – Affiliates line included in the “Intercompany” section of the cash flow statement.

36. Disbursements related to “Other” items are summarized in the chart below:

			$US 000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Marine Freight Payments	36	(i)	$	(11,397	)	$	(7,500	)	$	(3,897	)	(52	%)
Utility Payments	36	(ii)		(33,278	)		(38,543	)		5,265		14	%
Payroll & Benefits	36	(iii)		(43,075	)		(49,819	)		6,744		14	%
			$	(87,750	)	$	(95,862	)	$	8,112		8	%

(i) Marine Freight Payments totalled approximately $11.4 million during the Reporting Period. This compares to an amount of $7.5 million in the ACI Forecast. This negative variance is due to the fact that a greater than forecast proportion of total shipments required the use of marine freight and that a payment to a significant shipper was made during the Reporting Period which had been forecast to be made at a later date.

(ii) Utility Payments totalled approximately $33.3 million during the Reporting Period. This compares to an amount of approximately $38.5 million in the ACI Forecast. The ACI Forecast contemplated that only contractually agreed upon amounts (representing an estimate of consumption) would be paid to certain hydroelectricity suppliers. Upon reconciliation of total versus forecast use of hydroelectric power, it was determined that the ACI Group had built up a credit balance with its hydroelectricity suppliers for the month of February based on actual consumption. As such, certain payments to hydroelectricity suppliers during the month of March were reduced to take into account this lower consumption.

- 14 -

(iii) Total payments forPayroll & Benefits were approximately $43.1 million during the Reporting Period compared to an amount of approximately $49.8 million in the ACI Forecast. The reason for this variance is due in part to a lower than forecast pension payment (approximately $1.2 million), lower wages due to a public holiday (approximately $1.0 million) and the timing of payment of certain payroll taxes (approximately $2.6 million).

Financing

37. Details regarding the ACI Group’s financing activities are summarized in the following table:

			$US 000
Financing			Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Securitization Inflows / (Outflows)	38	(i)	$	(4,031	)	$	(2,388	)	$	(1,643	)	(69	%)
Adequate Protection by DCorp to ACCC Term Lenders	38	(ii)		(3,498	)		(3,287	)		(211	)	(6	%)
Restructuring & Other Items	38	(iii)		(4,633	)		(5,250	)		617		12	%
Foreign Exchange Translation	38	(iv)		(11,635	)		—			(11,635	)	N/A
			$	(23,797	)	$	(10,925	)	$	(12,872	)	(118	%)

38. The variance analysis with respect to the ACI Group’s financing activities has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the variances:

(i) Securitization Inflows/(Outflows) totalled an outflow of approximately $4.0 million compared to a projected outflow of approximately $2.4 million during the Reporting Period. This negative variance was due to the fact that an interest payment forecast to be paid in the week ended April 11, 2010 was paid during the Reporting Period.

(ii) Adequate Protection by DCorp to ACCC Term Lenderswas consistent with the ACI Forecast.

- 15 -

(iii) Payments forRestructuring & Other Items totalled approximately $4.6 million compared to a forecast of approximately $5.3 million. The difference is primarily due to the timing of invoice receipt from professional service firms.

(iv) Amounts on theForeign Exchange Translation line represent the difference between the actual exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars at the time of conversion as compared to the forecast rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.90. During the Reporting Period the value of the Canadian dollar fluctuated between US$0.9470 and US$0.9941.

40. As detailed in the table above, BCFPI’s total receipts for the Reporting Period were approximately $10.1 million higher than the BCFPI Forecast. Disbursements were $3.6 million higher than the BCFPI Forecast and Financing cash outflows were approximately $3.6 less than the BCFPI Forecast. BCFPI had cash on hand of approximately $13.0 million at April 4, 2010. Overall, the ending cash balance was approximately $3.0 million higher than the BCFPI Forecast.

Total Receipts			$	74,453	$	64,332		$	10,121		16	%

42. The variance analysis with respect to the receipts has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the significant variances:

(i) TotalA/R Collections were approximately $50.3 million resulting in a negative variance of approximately $10.9 million. This variance is primarily due to the timing of collections of pulp receivables from BCFPI’s customers.

Pursuant to BCFPI’s normal practice and the Cash Management System, sales which are made to customers domiciled in the United States are made through an affiliate, Bowater America Inc. (“BAI”). BAI, which is a subsidiary of BI, collects the accounts receivable from third party customers and then remits these funds through anIntercompany A/RSettlement to BCFPI. BCFPI continues to reconcile its intercompany trade receivables on a regular basis.

- 17 -

In addition to the above, BI collects substantially all accounts receivable related to BCFPI’s sale of pulp. Such amounts are reconciled and transferred from BI to BCFPI on a monthly basis. Transfers of pulp receipts through the end of March, 2010 have been paid to BCFPI during the Reporting Period.

(ii) On a net basis, Advances from Bowater Inc. totalled $12.0 million during the Reporting Period. Repayments of $3.0 million were forecast in the BCFPI Forecast. The variance above is due to the fact that collections from customers were less than forecast and additional advances from Bowater Inc. were required to provide BCFPI with sufficient liquidity.

(iii) Amounts received related to Other Inflows were approximately $12.1 million during the Reporting Period. Receipts related to Other Inflows were forecast to be approximately $6.1 million, resulting in a positive variance of approximately $6.0 million. This variance was primarily due to higher than forecast sales tax receipts and mill level deposits.

Disbursements

43. Details regarding BCFPI’s disbursements related toNet Trade Disbursements are summarized in the following table:

			US$000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Trade Payables	44	(i)	$	(36,861	)	$	(38,398	)	$	1,537		4	%

Net Trade Disbursements			$	(42,598	)	$	(40,666	)	$	(1,932	)	(5	%)

- 18 -

44. The variance analysis with respect to BCFPI’s disbursements has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons provided for these variances:

(i) Disbursements related toTrade Payables were approximately $1.5 million less than projected during the Reporting Period.

(ii) Intercompany A/P Settlements - Receipts represents BCFPI being reimbursed for disbursements made on behalf of related entities. During the Reporting Period, BCFPI received approximately $9.0 million for disbursements made on behalf of Bowater Mersey.

(iii) Intercompany A/P Settlements - Disbursements represents BCFPI reimbursing related entities for payments made on its behalf. During the Reporting Period, such payments totalled approximately $2.7 million and are primarily reimbursements to the ACI Group for freight costs.

(iv) Capital Expenditures are not tracked on a weekly basis. As such, disbursements for this line item have been included inTrade Payables. The Monitor has been advised that capital expenditures for February and March, 2010 were approximately $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

(v) Payments on Behalf of Affiliates were $12.0 million during the Reporting Period. These payments primarily represent disbursements made by BCFPI on behalf of Bowater Mersey. Due to the integrated nature of the operations of the Petitioners and the Cash Management System, such payments occur on a regular basis. BCFPI does not typically forecast such payments, nor does it typically forecast the repayment of these items.

45. Actual receipts and disbursements related to intercompany accounts receivable transactions are summarized in the table below:

- 19 -

			US$000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast		Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections - Affiliates	45	(i)	$	4,892		$	—	$	4,892		N/A
Intercompany A/R Settlements	45	(ii)		(7,797	)		—		(7,797	)	N/A
			$	(2,905	)	$	—	$	(2,905	)	N/A

(i) Receipts related toA/R Collections – Affiliates totalled approximately $4.9 million during the Reporting Period. Such amounts are regularly collected by BCFPI as part of the operation of the Cash Management System.

(ii) Payments forIntercompany A/R Settlements totalled approximately $7.8 million during the Reporting Period.Intercompany A/R Settlements represent payments made by BCFPI to reimburse related entities for accounts receivable incorrectly paid to BCFPI by ABH-affiliated customers.

46. Disbursements for “Other” items are as follows and are summarized in the table below:

			US$000
	Para.		Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Freight	46	(i)	$	(6,032	)	$	(5,722	)	$	(310	)	(5	%)

			$	(20,150	)	$	(21,395	)	$	1,245		6	%

(i) Disbursements forFreight totalled approximately $6.0 million during the Reporting Period. This compares to an amount of approximately $5.7 million in the BCFPI Forecast.

(ii) Amounts related to theIntercompany SG&A Allocation were not settled during the Reporting Period. The timing of settlement of SG&A costs incurred in Q2, 2009 is not certain.

- 20 -

(iii) During the Reporting Period, payments in respect ofPayroll and Benefits totalled approximately $14.1 million. The BCFPI Forecast projected disbursements in the amount of $15.3 million.

Financing

47. Details regarding financing are summarized in the following table:

		US$000
Financing	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Interest	48	$	(1,967	)	$	(1,845	)	$	(122	)	(7	%)
Restructuring Costs	49		(1,101	)		(1,465	)		364		25	%
Foreign Exchange Translation	50		(3,803	)		—			(3,803	)	N/A
Cash Flow from Financing/Restructuring		$	(6,871	)	$	(3,310	)	$	(3,561	)	(108	%)

48. Disbursements related toInterest, which were forecast to be approximately $1.8 million, were approximately $2.0 million.

49. Restructuring Costs were approximately $1.1 million compared to a forecast amount of approximately $1.5 million. This variance is primarily due to the timing of invoice receipt from various professional service firms, as significant payments were made in the first week after the Reporting Period.

50. Amounts on theForeign Exchange Translation line represent the difference between the actual exchange rate at the time of conversion between Canadian and U.S. dollars as compared to the forecast rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.90.

CURRENT LIQUIDITY POSITION AND THE 13-WEEK CASH FLOW FORECASTS

51. Attached as Appendices “G” and “H”, respectively, are the updated 13-week cash flow forecasts of the ACI Group (including DCorp) and BCFPI through July 4, 2010.

- 21 -

52. As at April 4, 2010, the ACI Group had cash on hand of approximately $190.5 million. In addition to this amount, the ACI Group also has the ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Notice ($45 million) and the ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Court Approval (a further $45 million) available as liquidity. The ACI Group also held $11.3 million representing the Recycling Proceeds and approximately $4.1 million representing the West Tacoma Proceeds. As noted above, the Monitor received, and will hold in trust, approximately $2.6 million in respect of the sale of a sawmill in St. Raymond, Quebec. Due to the timing of their receipt, the St. Raymond Proceeds are not reflected in the cash flow forecast in Appendix “G”.

53. The ACI Group’s actual liquidity to April 4, 2010 and forecast total Immediately Available Liquidity for the 13 weeks ending July 4, 2010 is set forth in Appendix “G” and is summarized in the graph below.

54. The ACI Group’s Immediately Available Liquidity at July 4, 2010, which is the end of the 13-week period in the forecast in Appendix “G”, is projected to be approximately $219.1 million.

- 22 -

55. The projected Immediately Available Liquidity in the graph above excludes certain items including the ULC DIP Facility Available Upon Court Approval ($45 million), approximately $20.5 million forecast to be received from the sale of DCorp’s Lufkin facility, the West Tacoma Proceeds (approximately $4.1 million) and the Recycling Proceeds (approximately $11.3 million). Thus, the ACI Group’s Total Available Liquidity at July 4, 2010 is projected to be approximately $299.9 million.

56. Actual results since the date of the issuance of the Initial Order and BCFPI’s forecast liquidity for the 13 weeks ended July 4, 2010, which includes the projected intercompany repayment to BI in the amount of $19.0 million, is set forth in Appendix “H” and is summarized in the graph below. The estimate of liquidity in the following graph assumes that a minimum cash balance of $10.0 million will be maintained and funds will be transferred from BI, as necessary, on that basis.

57. On August 26, 2009 and September 1, 2009, this Honourable Court and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, respectively, approved certain agreements between the ACI

- 23 -

Group, BCFPI and Smurfit-Stone Container Canada Inc. (“Smurfit”) relating to the sale of certain timberlands by Smurfit, which will result in BCFPI receiving net proceeds in the amount of approximately $25.9 million (the “Smurfit Timberland Proceeds”). The Smurfit Timberland Proceeds were paid to the Monitor’s trust account in the week ended October 25, 2009 and are to be held in trust by the Monitor pending further order of this Honourable Court. For purposes of the forecast, the proceeds are reflected as being held in trust by the Monitor and are not used for operating purposes due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of the release of these funds.

58. BCFPI’s liquidity as at July 4, 2010 is projected to be approximately $10.7 million, not including the Smurfit Timberland Proceeds.

59. Management has informed the Monitor that BCFPI’s forecast cash requirements will be supported by BI through intercompany advances, if necessary.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

60. As first reported in the Seventh Report, the Petitioners track certain key performance indicators in the course of managing their business. Appendices “I” and “J” contain certain key performance indicators which have been updated through March 31, 2010, the most current data available as at the date of this Forty-First Report.

UPDATE REGARDING THE CLAIMS PROCESS

61. In the thirty-fifth report of the Monitor dated March 9, 2010 (the “Thirty-Fifth Report”), the Monitor reported on claims that it had received against the Canadian Petitioners and the Cross-Border Petitioners with respect to the First Claims Bar Date (as defined the First Claims Process Order). Pursuant to an Order of this Honourable Court dated February 23, 2010, April 7, 2010 was set as

- 24 -

the Second Claims Bar Date (as defined the Second Claims Process Order). In the weeks leading up to the Second Claims Bar Date, a substantial volume of additional claims were received.

62. The claims received pursuant to this Second Claims Bar Date were principally received from:

(i) employees that were active employees as of April 17, 2009 (the “Filing Date”);

(ii) holders of certain secured term notes and credit facilities;

(iii) damage claims with respect to contracts repudiated after August 31, 2009; and

(iv) claims from pension regulators.

67. The claims reconciliation process is ongoing and progressing. The Monitor continues to review, revise and disallow claims, as applicable, and will report to this Honourable Court further on this process in subsequent reports.

REQUEST FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN EQUITY COMMITTEE

68. The Monitor and this Honourable Court have received a number of letters from certain shareholders of ABH requesting the appointment of an equity committee.

69. The Monitor advised the shareholders that it would advise this Honourable Court and the other stakeholders with respect to this request for the appointment of an equity committee in an upcoming report of the Monitor.

70. The Monitor has also advised the shareholders that, in its view, the appointment of an equity committee would not be appropriate in the CCAA Proceedings as:

(i) the Petitioners are insolvent and the shareholders of the Petitioners have no economic stake in the CCAA Proceedings; and

(ii) the shareholders who have requested the equity committee are shareholders of ABH, which is a debtor in the Chapter 11 Proceedings and not a Petitioner in the CCAA Proceedings; therefore, they do not have a direct interest in the CCAA Proceedings.

71. The Monitor was requested by the Judge presiding over the CCAA Proceedings to advise the ABH shareholders as follows:

(i) the Superior Court of Quebec does not intend to reply to such correspondence and has requested that the Monitor do so directly; and

(ii) it is inappropriate to correspond directly with a Judge of any Canadian Court and the shareholders must bring a motion before the Court to request the relief they are seeking.

NOTICE OF GARNISHMENT RECEIVED BY THE MONITOR

72. On April 16, 2010, the Monitor received a Notice of Garnishment from Woodbridge Constructers Inc. (“Woodbridge”) dated April 13, 2010. The Notice of Garnishment is addressed to the Monitor of ACCC.

- 27 -

73. In the Notice of Garnishment, it is alleged that (i) The McBurney Corporation (“McBurney”) is indebted to Woodbridge in the amount of $451,888.30 and (ii) the Monitor owes a debt to McBurney.

74. Counsel for the Monitor has exchanged correspondence with counsel for Woodbridge and has advised counsel for Woodbridge as to the following:

(i) the Monitor is not in possession of control the Petitioners’ assets;

(ii) the Monitor does not owe a debt to McBurney;

(iii) the Notice of Garnishment was issued after the date of the Initial Order and, therefore, was issued in violation of the Initial Order;

(iv) Woodbridge is stayed from taking any action or exercising any rights in respect of the Monitor or Petitioners; and

(v) the Monitor intends to bring this matter to the attention of this Honourable Court.

75. In addition, counsel for the Monitor has advised counsel for Woodbridge that, if Woodbridge believes that one or more of the Petitioners are indebted to McBurney, then Woodbridge should bring a motion before the Superior Court of Quebec seeking leave to issue a Notice of Garnishment against that entity.
