ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 LES TELECOMMUNICATIONS VALSYSTEME INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AUDITOR'S REPORT A - 1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Statement of income A - 2 Statement of retained earnings A - 3 Balance sheet A - 4 Cash flow statement A - 5 Notes to the financial statements A-6- A-9 5 AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Directors of LES TELECOMMUNICATIONS VALSYSTEME INC. I have audited the balance sheet of LES TELECOMMUNICATIONS VALSYSTEME INC. as at August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 and the statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. Except as explained in the following paragraph, I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I 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. Because I was appointed auditor of the company after the current year end, I was not able to observe the counting of physical inventories at the beginning and end of each year nor satisfy myself concerning those inventory quantities by alternative means. Since opening and ending inventories enter into the determination of the results of operations and cash flows, I was unable to determine whether adjustments to cost of sales, income taxes, net income for the year, opening retained earnings and cash provided from operations might be necessary. In my opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which I might have determined to be necessary had I been able to examine opening and ending inventory quantities, as described in the preceding paragraph, the statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of the company for the years ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, in my opinion, the balance sheet presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CREDIT RISK The company provides credit to its clients in the normal course of its operations. It carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its clients and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses which, once they materialize, are consistent with management's forecasts. The company does not normally require a guarantor. For the other debts, the company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value. FAIR VALUE The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, client deposits and dividends payable correspond approximately to their carrying amount because of their short-term maturity dates. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On September 14, 2000, the company sold all its inventories, capital assets and intangible assets, including mainly goodwill, permits and contracts, for a cash consideration of $4,000,000.
