PROFILE

A portfolio manager, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec invests the funds entrusted to it by Québec public pension and insurance plans and various public bodies. Since its creation by a special Act of the National Assembly in 1965, the Caisse has had the objective of achieving optimal financial returns and contributing by its activities to the vitality of the Québec economy, while ensuring the safety of the capital under management. A team of professionals makes an astute selection of investments and actively manages the Caisse portfolio. In doing so, managers use the best financial vehicles available: bonds, shares and convertible securities, mortgages, real estate and short-term investments, and derivative products. Active on all major financial markets, the Caisse is also the leading provider of risk capital in Québec and in Canada for private investments. The Caisse is also the leading investor in the Canadian stock market and is an important portfolio manager in North America. Operations are worldwide: the Americas, Europe and Asia. Its principal place of business is in Montréal, a major financial centre, while its Québec regional network Accès Capital has over 10 offices across Québec. The Caisse also shares representative offices in various countries.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

In 1996, thanks to its investment management teams, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec achieved an overall return of 15.6%, bringing the average annual return for the last two years to 16.9%, the five-year return to 10.8% and the 10-year return to 10.2%. Income and added value totalled $15.5 billion for the last two years, $7.6 billion of which was generated in 1996. Assets rose from $44.9 billion at year-end 1994 to $51.2 billion at the end of 1995 and $57.2 billion at the end of 1996. Withdrawals by depositors were $1.6 billion in both 1995 and 1996. The 1996 Caisse results were very much in line with its long-term asset mix objectives. Bonds and other fixedincome instruments remain the largest asset class, while equities continue at the 40% legal limit, lower than most major pension funds and the real estate and mortgage sector represents 8 to 10% of assets. Overall, this asset mix has proven to be profitable for the domestic market over the last 15 years. In 1996, however, North American stock markets outperformed bond markets by a wide margin, with investor demand pushing up the value of the Canadian equities market by approximately 28% for the year. On its Québec and Canadian equities, which account for approximately 25% of the portfolio, the Caisse came close to matching the return for the domestic equities market, with one of the lowest portfolio risk levels in recent years. In other words, the Caisse adopted a cautious approach in 1996 in both the domestic and U.S. markets. However, it resisted the temptation – and was proven right – to liquidate its U.S. equity positions, which might have been a justifiable response to the extraordinarily high returns in this market in 1995. Overall, the performance of the foreign equity portfolio exceeded the objectives set. For their part, real estate investments finally seemed to have emerged from their long slump, with a 1996 return comparable to bond yields. In future years, the Caisse expects real estate investments to make a useful and positive contribution to its returns as a stabilizing force, which is the role they were originally intended to play. The managers responsible for fixed-income securities, in other words the management of interest rate risk, obtained an excellent performance from their portfolio, once again demonstrating a remarkably high level of expertise. The Private Investments Group also turned in noteworthy results. The five subsidiaries formed in 1995 were given the task of executing a $1.3 billion investment programme in 1996 and 1997. In 1996 alone, they succeeded in carrying out 80% of the programme with investments of $1.040 billion, generating a 31.5% return on their total portfolio of domestic equities and 20% on foreign securities. The management and Board of Directors of the Caisse believe such private investments offer long-term potential that, with the added value in the form of talent, expertise, information and networks, may surpass performance on markets that are increasingly efficient. They also offer opportunities for making a positive impact on the Québec economy, employment and businesses in Québec. Private investments will therefore continue to grow as a proportion of the total portfolio. In spite of rapid changes in the world of finance, the Caisse remains committed to its original mission: obtaining the best possible financial returns continues to be its fundamental purpose. The second important aspect of its mission, obtaining economic returns, or in other words, securing collateral economic benefits, calls for close and informed partnerships with results-oriented Québec businesses of all sizes and in all sectors and with all participants in Québec’s financial and economic life.

Page 6

The Caisse intends to promote the expansion of high-potential sectors such as technological innovation, communications, telecommunications and biotechnology, without neglecting successful businesses in more traditional sectors, which continue to play an important role both in the economy and in its portfolios. Small, midsize and large businesses interested in capturing foreign markets are the object of special attention. It was for this reason that in 1996 the Caisse, in conjunction with other partners, set up Infradev International, a company specializing in infrastructure project financing. The Caisse also offers financial backing for foreign companies seeking to establish themselves in Québec and supports Québec-based companies in their efforts to expand into foreign markets. The institution worked harder than ever at fostering entrepreneurship and stimulating the creation of new businesses to strengthen the industrial and commercial fabric of its milieu. In 1996, for example, the Caisse went straight to the heart of local economies by setting up Accès Capital, a business investment network that will operate in every region of Québec and deliver the full range of financial products as well as the expertise of the Caisse and its partners. A programme for loans of less than $250,000 was also introduced to support business startups. Sodémex, an investment company specializing in capital for small mining exploration companies, was formed during the year. Parallel to its activities at home, the Caisse continued its expansion abroad to provide services and business opportunities to its partners and thereby enhance the return on its portfolios. To assure its economic vitality and favourable conditions for business, Montréal, as the engine of economic activity in Québec, must be able to rely on a dynamic and vigorous financial industry. Montréal’s strength, effectiveness and success as a financial centre depend on the commitment, determination and involvement of all participants. The presence of strong and efficient local institutions is central to this strategy for increasing financial activity and creating quality employment. The Caisse is resolved to support local institutions by continuing, for instance, to trade on the Montréal Exchange and by actively participating in the derivatives market. Furthermore, it fosters business partnerships which target the same objectives. In its never-ending pursuit of excellence, the Caisse counts on one of the best teams in the business, made up of creative, innovative specialists who are keenly aware of the stakes not only in their own sector of activity, but also in the world around them. Having a high-calibre team will remain vital to the institution so it can meet the many challenges ahead. Expertise and information The economy has become increasingly global in scope and is driven by knowledge and know-how. In a knowledge-based economy, the strategic analysis of information is crucial, and it is this capacity which transforms the institution’s partnerships and alliances into a genuine network. It also encourages a winning strategy. Success hinges on having intelligent, efficient, rapid and uninterrupted access to quality information, and the ability to act on it. This is one of the challenges facing our management teams in 1997 and the years leading up to the year 2000. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to express my thanks to all the personnel of the Caisse and its subsidiaries for their efforts and their drive to innovate, build and succeed, and of course, for the remarkable overall results they achieved in 1996. It is to them first and foremost that we owe our success. The Board of Directors, for its part, carried out a review of each investment sector, its orientations and its management style. It also adopted the business plan of the Caisse as a whole and reviewed the business plan of the Real Estate Group, which integrated mortgage financing activities during the year, and adopted the business plan of the Private Investments Group.

Page 7

The Committees of the Board - the Resources Committee, the Audit Committee, the Board of the Caisse Real Estate Group, as well as the Ethics and Corporate Governance Committee - were particularly active, and made a significant contribution to the institution and its operations. I would be remiss if I did not thank the members of the Board for the invaluable assistance which they provide to the institution. I would especially like to express our appreciation to Ms. Denise Verreault, Mr. Alain Rhéaume and Mr. Pierre Shedleur, three members of the Board who stepped down during the year, and extend a sincere welcome to Mr. Gilles Godbout, who joined the Board in 1996.

Jean-Claude Scraire Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

Page 10

The foreign equity portfolio offered a 13.2% return, more than 180 basis points higher than the hedged MSCI EAFE + EMF index. Equity investments performed very well. The private investments in Canadian equities produced a remarkable result of 31.5%. The 20% return on private investments in foreign equities outperformed the hedged MSCI EAFE + EMF index by 860 basis points. The Caisse's real estate portfolio reported a 12.2% return, still a good performance given the gloom prevailing in this sector for several years, and representing 400 basis points more than the MLH+A real estate index at 8.2%. Apart from short-term investments, all asset classes obtained returns over 11%, an impressive showing in a low interest rate context. The overall return stood at 15.6%, a very satisfactory result in the context of an inflation rate of 2%. The year 1996 has therefore been very profitable to Caisse depositors, with real return the fifth highest in its history. Selection of securities in the different asset classes again proved to be a winning factor in 1996, since wise picks improved Caisse earnings by over $54 million. The holdings of Caisse depositors had an aggregate fair value of $57.2 billion at year-end.

TSE 300 index the 14 sectors of the index posted a positive return. The substantial second-quarter drop in interest rates favoured financial services, conglomerates and real estate and construction, which reported the highest returns. Securities related to cyclical sectors, such as paper and forest products, gold and silver, and metals and minerals, produced lower returns, put at a disadvantage by economic growth that was less vigorous than anticipated. Index yields sectorial return was reflected in the BARRA-Value and BARRA-Growth market indices, with yields of 36.17% and 22.01% respectively. Higher large cap return large cap securities, as reflected by the TSE 35 and TSE 100 indices, posted a slightly higher return than the small cap securities comprising the TSE 200 index.

Caisse management Investment strategy accentuating the importance of stock picking and reducing the sectorial weighting spreads to maintain the risk at a relatively low level. The strategy of slightly favouring securities with a return dependent on economic growth had an effect which, as at December 31, 1996, was still negative on the portfolio's relative return. Financial and stock market ratios decline in corporate profits over the first three quarters of the year, and yearend drop in interest rates, increasing the price-earnings ratio, the most widely followed indicator of high market prices. Reflecting its pro-growth strategy, in anticipation of accelerated economic growth, the price-earnings ratio of the Caisse portfolio rose from 15.8 at the beginning of the year to 21.8 at year-end, while that of the TSE 300 increased from 15.7 to 19.2.

International stock markets Team of 13 specialists The foreign equities portfolio rose from $5.8 billion to $9.9 billion, or from 11.3% to 16.4% of the Caisse's total portfolio 39% of trades made by the in-house team

United States second year with a return over 20%. The financial and energy sectors led the pack at 33.1% and 31.6%, while the housing sector was last at 6.8% despite over 10% growth in the second half. Record levels and high prices resulted in nervousness and caution.

the proportion of investments rose from 1% in 1995 to 9.2% of the foreign equities portfolio.

In-house team the strong increase in funds led to the hiring of two new managers for the U.S. market and a third for Latin America. The team now includes 13 specialists. External managers increase in funds entrusted to external managers and hiring of several managers, especially for emerging markets.

Investment strategy the Caisse's mix favoured certain European countries as well as Japan during the first nine months, and the United States on several occasions, especially in the fourth quarter.

Strategic management of asset mix Team of three specialists, hired for an initial year of strategic activities Portfolio of six asset classes Adoption of defensive measures on the markets and continued globalization of investments Creation of a neutral portfolio equally divided between long and short positions Compared to 1995, significant reduction in the weighting of bonds and Canadian equities, 2.8% and 1.7% at year-end, to the benefit of foreign equities, which stood at over 17.4%; slight reduction in mortgages, to 2.6% of total investments

Markets Levels fixed-income and variable-income securities reached record levels in Europe. The Canadian and U.S. stock markets, sustained by monetary flows related to population aging and good earnings growth, maintained and surpassed their historical ceilings. Combined with the valuation multiples, this aroused caution. Spreads market globalization despite the trend to greater stock market convergence, major divergences persisted, creating the need for an efficient winning strategy for asset mix management. On the stock market, a dollar invested in Canada produced an average return of 30.1% more than in Japan, 5.4% more than in the United States, but 9.1% and 18.3% less than in Hong Kong and Spain respectively. Limited to the main markets, international diversification was less successful in 1996 than in the past, because of the Canadian market's good relative performance. On the bond markets, the worst results were registered in the United States and Japan, which respectively underperformed the Canadian market by 14.4% and 5.61%, and the Italian market by 39% and 30.2%.

Since short-term interest rates in Canada kept below the U.S. rates for most of the year, it cost the Caisse $91 million to hedge the US dollar, compared to a $46 million gain in 1995. Forward hedging against other currencies cleared a profit of $124 million, compared to $65 million in 1995. For the total portfolio, futures cleared a $33 million gain, compared to $111 million in 1995.

Tactical investments Team of four specialists Risk and investment opportunities are now spread over four continents. Major new international partnership resulting in creation of a new Caisse fund, Varan, and the addition of an external management structure provided by N.T. Global Advisors, thus doubling the capital available for tactical management. Outsourcing tactical management of $25 million in assets to Globagest, a new Montréal firm Investment strategy A first half based on equities outperforming bonds; conclusive results: sell position in U.S. bonds and buy position in European equities, and 20% gain in 20 days for correctly predicting Boris Yeltsin's reelection as president of Russia. A second half during which the high risk of capital markets, especially in the United States, called for caution; inconclusive results: non-correction of the U.S. stock market or other stock markets and wipe-out of gains from buy positions on European bonds. Outsourcing

Tactical management mandates were entrusted to external teams, particularly to Globagest.

Partnership A management mandate was assigned to N.T. Global Advisors Inc., a new Québec firm, a subsidiary of Northern Trust Corporation of Chicago. Capital under management was allocated equally among a consortium of four tactical hedge fund managers: Omnia Asset Management, of London, specializes in investment opportunities arising from the sociopolitical context in Europe, and has developed special expertise on Eastern European countries; Opportunity Asset Management Limited, of Rio de Janeiro, relies on its considerable comparative advantage concerning South America; Regent Pacific, of Hong Kong, also exploits its geographical advantage to identify investment opportunities, as well as its expertise in derivatives on the Asian markets and its skill at covering arbitrage opportunities, all these giving it a marked advantage; Finally, Varan, the fund created by the Caisse under this partnership, stands out from the competition because of its systematic investment model approach in the G-10 countries and its expertise in derivatives on the equity, bond and currency markets. These management teams, located near regional markets, distinguish this "superfund" from other hedge funds, most of which are managed from New York. Contribution to Montréal's economic growth The outsourcing initiatives, in particular, will ensure major spinoffs for the Montréal region, particularly the creation of skilled jobs and investment in Montréal by foreign fund managers, either directly or through partnerships.

DEPOSITORS' ACCOUNTS MANAGEMENT

With a view to better meet its depositors' needs, the Caisse established in 1996 an individual fund for the management of sums deposited by the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ). It also created a specific bond portfolio during the year. Participation in research on optimization of foreign exchange risk hedging for the Caisse portfolio, a significant increase in meetings with depositors, publication of their returns for 1995 within two weeks of submitting the operations report to the National Assembly, improved presentation of reports intended for depositors, and comprehensive analysis and presentation of their portfolio results, were among the improvements in the management of depositors' accounts in 1996.

A DMINISTRATION AND INSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS

Administrative expenses The Caisse: $35.4 million in internal investment management and administrative expenses in 1996, versus $44.2 million in 1995 The Caisse determines the major management guidelines, investment policies and optimum mix of different investment classes for the entire Caisse Financial Group, in addition to its direct management of core portfolios. At the same time, the companies of the Caisse Private Investments Group and the Caisse Real Estate Group manage private equity, as well as real estate and mortgage investments portfolios. The Caisse, with 224 employees as at December 31, reported $22.4 million in investment management expenses and $13 million in administrative expenses in 1996, a reduction over the previous year. This reduction is the result of tight cost control and optimization measures, the results of which include outsourcing of administrative services related to the safekeeping of securities and all computer services. External management of investments by the Caisse Private Investments Group and the Caisse Real Estate Group companies and international advisers This was a significant year for the specialized companies of the Caisse Private Investments Group in terms of business development, new financial products and growth of investment portfolios, which increased from $0.7 billion to $3.5 billion as of December 31, 1996. The creation of 17 positions to meet the private investment objectives and the sharp growth in portfolios resulted, despite tight management, in a $1.6 million rise in investment management and administrative expenses, which totalled $9 million for the year, an increase more than offset by income from additional services. The companies of the Caisse Real Estate Group pursued their mortgage and real estate investment diversification programme, including numerous transactions outside Québec. The Caisse Real Estate Group's total investments grew by $0.8 billion to $5.6 billion as of December 31, 1996. The investment management and administrative expenses for these activities amounted to $18.6 million in 1996, a $1.5 million rise over the previous year. The Caisse's foreign equity investments increased from $6.2 billion in 1995 to $10.5 billion as of December 31, 1996. The greatest diversification of investments, particularly in emerging markets, largely occurred through new international advisers. Aggregate external management expenses thus rose from $6.6 million to $12.5 million in 1996.

Public Affairs The Caisse adopted a proactive communications approach to help position its private investment subsidiaries in their respective niches and inform its various publics about operations carried out in 1996: 80 press releases 18 media interviews, press conferences and briefings On behalf of its real estate group, the Caisse published and distributed a new publication during the year: ImmoCaisse, intended for the real estate and financial industry. It also published promotional brochures for five investments subsidiaries, a semi-annual financial newsletter Financial Review, its semi-annual economic forecast published in Cycles et Tendances, and its Operations Report.

The institution participated in 38 different sponsorships to assist university students, the financial community and Québec companies, the main ones being: the Relève financière des universités québécoises, the regional tour of Groupe Innovation, in collaboration with the ministère de l'Industrie, du Commerce, des Sciences et de la Technologie (MISCT), the economic symposium of Les Entretiens Jacques-Cartier, the symposium of InnovatechGrand Montréal, the CIFO, the International Conference on Derivatives, and the symposium of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSC). The year also featured the creation of the Caisse's Internet site and its commitment to make optimum use of new information technologies. The site conveys information on the Caisse, but also helps to disseminate the institution's financial and economic knowledge and know-how through different studies in these various fields. The Caisse wishes to develop and improve the dynamic dimension of this new medium, which also enables all kinds of participants to find out about the services it offers and identify the people to contact. The year 1996 marked the 30th year of the institution. The use of an anniversary signature on the Caisse's letterhead and publications and an evening for its personnel highlighted this event. The Chairman and CEO chaired the fundraising campaign of the Red Cross Society in 1996 and the Caisse participated actively in various organizations, such as Fondation de l'Entrepreneurship, Forum pour l'emploi, Cercle des chefs mailleurs and various business associations.

Corporate Secretariat The Caisse reviewed the Code of Ethics in force since 1984 and adopted a new Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct in August 1995, the application of which was the object of a first report to management and the Board of Directors in December 1996, completing the Board's rules of practice. On October 23, 1996, the government approved amendments to the Regulation respecting the internal management of the Caisse, making it possible to improve personnel management methods by establishing guidelines within which the Board, on the recommendation of the Resources Committee, can determine the working conditions and compensation of employees, taking into account the institution's operations and reference market. In 1996, the Caisse incorporated measures into its policy on contracts, which governs the process of acquisition or leasing of goods and services, to counter moonlighting practices in the Québec construction industry. These new measures should enable the institution to contribute to this industry's recovery, within a policy based on transparency and sound management. Since January 1, 1995, the Caisse has applied a policy on air quality and the use of tobacco in the workplace, intended to create a smoke-free work environment, so that all employees can function in a healthy workplace.

Computer systems and outsourcing To maximize its operations, the Caisse began the implementation in 1996 of a corporate information system, allowing it to benefit from technological developments to facilitate and improve communication and the exchange of information between the Caisse and its subsidiaries. It thus considers that it can offer quality services more quickly to its current and potential partners. As the year 2000 draws closer, and particularly to integrate the required changes to its investment administration system, the Caisse is engaged in a race against time to modernize its equipment and integrate management of new products and currencies.

Page 33

In 1996, the Caisse concluded an agreement with Fiducie Desjardins for complete outsourcing of its safekeeping operations, assisting this Québec company in developing this niche. It also outsourced its computer services while contributing to the creation, in Montréal, of Solfitech, a new leading edge computer service firm in investment management: held by the investment subsidiary Sofinov and the consulting firm CGI, Solfitech offers consulting and design services in portfolio management to other clients in the financial community throughout North America; this approach reduces costs while improving efficiency, thanks to the projected economies of scale; 41 employees were transferred to Solfitech, in premises adjacent to the institution; a small team continues to be employed by the Caisse to manage the information technology development plan and advise the various investment and administrative teams.

Research and performance Research on performance, risk and products, and the need for developments in the institution's pursuit of excellence, led the Caisse to the following achievements in 1996: publication of the Financial Review; development of a performance calculation system conforming to the standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR); evaluation and calculation of the risk of exotic derivatives such as double barriers and knock-in and knock-out options, in the context of measuring the non-linear risk of derivatives; development of risk and fair value evaluation, largely oriented to interest rate and currency swaps; perfecting of middle office risk control to implement the main recommendations of the Group of 30; applied research on derivatives, mainly oriented to hedging the foreign exchange risk.

Human and other resources The Caisse who employs Quebecers of various origins relies on the expertise of a solid team of 107 men and 117 women, a total of 224 employees with an average age of 40, whose profile breaks down as follows: 123 university graduates, or 55%, including 5 with a Ph.D, 54 with a Master's and 64 with a Bachelor's degree; 29 Chartered Financial Analysts, and 32 on the way to gaining this title: 6 level III candidates, 13 level II candidates and 13 level I candidates; 108 professionals, including 35 women; 4 women holding the position of manager and one woman who is a member of the senior management team. With the acquisition of a new central telephone system and new phones in Montréal and Québec City, and the implementation of voice mail providing managers with additional tools to achieve their goals, the Caisse continued modernizing its system to meet its growing needs. In 1996, these needs amounted to 1,670,232 phone calls.

Finally, as for recycling, seven million sheets of printer and photocopier paper were used. This represents a total of 4,340,000 photocopies, justifying the paper recycling and environmental protection programme in which the Caisse participates.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The financial statements of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec were prepared by management, which is responsible for their preparation and presentation, including estimates and material judgements. This responsibility includes selecting the appropriate accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Financial information presented elsewhere in this Operations Report is consistent with that shown in the accompanying financial statements. Management maintains systems of internal accounting controls which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are recorded in an appropriate and timely manner, that they are duly authorized and allow for the preparation of reliable financial statements. The internal audit team reviews the internal controls on a regular basis to ensure they are adequate and applied consistently by the Caisse. The Caisse is aware of its responsibility to manage its operations in accordance with the rules and regulations that govern the institution. The Board of Directors supervises the manner in which management assumes its responsibility regarding financial information, and it has approved the financial statements. The Board of Directors is assisted by the Audit Committee, of which only one member is also an officer of the Caisse. The Audit Committee meets with management and the auditor, examines the financial statements and recommends their approval by the Board of Directors. The financial statements of the Caisse are audited by the Auditor General of Québec, who conducted his audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The auditor's report covers the nature and scope of the audit and expresses the auditor's opinion on the financial statements. The Auditor General has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matter relating to his audit. Jean-Claude Scraire Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Serge Rémillard Senior Vice-President, Administration and Finance Montréal, March 11, 1997

AUDITOR'S REPORT To the National Assembly I have audited the combined statement of net assets of the Funds of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec as at December 31, 1996, the combined statement of income, and the combined statement of changes in net assets for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Caisse's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. 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. In my opinion, these combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of these Funds as at December 31, 1996 and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Auditor General Act (R.S.Q., chapter V-5.01), I report that, in my opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Guy Breton, F.C.A. Auditor General of Québec Québec City, March 11, 1997

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The combined financial statements of the Caisse have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These statements include amounts based on best judgement and estimates. a) COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The combined financial statements comprise the accounts of the Caisse's subsidiaries, those of the General Fund and the Individual Funds, as well as those of the specific portfolios. The accounts of each of these Funds and of each of these portfolios are reflected in separate financial statements audited by the Auditor General of Québec. b) INVESTMENTS AND JOINT OPERATIONS Purchases and sales of investments are recorded as at the commitment date, except transactions involving bonds, mortgages and real estate holdings, which are recorded as at the settlement date. Investments and related assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value, which is the estimated exchange value which would be agreed upon in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act, established at year-end. Such values are determined using valuation methods used in capital markets, such as the annualization of future cash flows at the current interest rate and the closing prices of the major stock exchanges as well as those provided by recognized brokerage firms. In addition, valuations are made by independent valuators while others are made in-house based on commonly used valuation methods. Transactions by way of commitments related to short selling of securities result in the acquisition of securities under reverse repurchase agreements as well as in transactions on loans on securities.

Page 47

c) INCOME Income from derivative financial instruments is included in the income from the underlying investments. Interest income on bonds includes income derived from securities acquired under reverse repurchase agreements reduced by interest expenses on deposits on loans of securities. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Income from loans of shares and convertible securities is presented under the item Dividends and interest on convertible securities. Income from real estate holdings is reduced by interest on bank and mortgage loans payable. Interest on short-term investments is reduced by interest expenses on notes payable. d) GAINS AND LOSSES ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS The gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the average unamortized cost in the case of bonds, mortgages and short-term investments, the average cost in the case of shares and convertible securities, and the specific cost in the case of real estate holdings. The average unamortized cost is the acquisition cost restated to take into account the amortization of the premium and the discount that allows the investment to maintain a constant real return until maturity. e) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The fair value of investments and any other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at year-end. The cost of investments in shares and that of real estate holdings from integrated foreign operations are translated at the rate prevailing on the acquisition date. The cost of real estate holdings from self-sustaining foreign operations is translated at the rate prevailing at year-end. The unamortized cost of hedged investments in bonds, mortgages and short-term investments is translated at the average rate of the financial foreign exchange risk hedging instruments held at year-end, and that of unhedged investments is translated at the rate prevailing at year-end. Income is translated at the average rate prevailing in each of the fiscal periods of the various Funds and portfolios, except dividend income, which is translated at the rates prevailing on the ex-dividend date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in net investment income, except those gains and losses relating to financial foreign exchange risk hedging instruments used for shares and real estate holdings, which are deferred and accounted for in gains and losses on the sale of investments, upon the realization of the hedged shares and real estate holdings. f) FIXED ASSETS Costs related to the acquisition of telephone, computer and office automation equipment are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of each asset. Set-up costs for the premises and other leasehold improvement costs are amortized over the term of the lease. These fixed assets are presented under the item Other assets. g) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT EXPENSES AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Investment management expenses cover all expenses related directly to investment operations, including expenses paid to external financial institutions. These expenses are presented under a specific item, and are deducted from investment income. General administrative expenses are presented under the item Administrative expenses.

DEPOSITORS' HOLDINGS

Demand and term deposits bear interest and constitute the Caisse's indebtedness toward the depositors. Participation deposits are expressed in units and each unit gives its holder a proportionate share in the net equity and net income of a particular Fund. At the end of each fiscal period of a Fund, which is one month for the General Fund and three months for the Individual Funds, the net investment income and gains and losses on the sale of investments are distributed to participation deposit holders. At the beginning of the following period, the amounts distributed are paid out to (recovered from) the depositors' demand deposit accounts.

Where hedging transactions imply simultaneous use of the US currency and other foreign currencies, the notional amount recorded herein represents the final value expressed in Canadian dollars.

Foreign exchange risks associated with foreign investments and other related assets and liabilities are hedged using hedging instruments. In the case of bonds, mortgages, real estate investments and short-term investments, these hedging instruments are representative of the value and the currency in which investments are expressed. In the case of foreign equities, the portfolio weighting by country is comparable to the major international indices, and the value of hedging instruments is representative of the relative weight of the countries whose securities make up such indices. These instruments are negotiated with banks. Terms generally range from one to three months in the case of forward exchange contracts and options, and from one to two years in the case of foreign currency swaps. Upon maturity, new hedging instruments are negotiated to maintain an effective long-term hedge against the exchange risk associated with foreign investments. Moreover, futures and options traded on stock exchanges, forward exchange contracts, equity index forwards, forward rate agreements and forward currency volatility agreements, interest rate swaps and options negotiated with banks and brokerage firms, are used to manage the interest rate and market risks of the total investment portfolio in addition to generating income from negotiation activities.

Page 53

These transactions are negotiated with financial institutions whose credit rating is established by a recognized credit rating agency and operational limits are duly approved by an internal credit committee, which supports compensation agreements in order to limit credit risk. In addition, interest rate swaps on bonds for a nominal value of $225 million as at December 31, 1996 ($252 million in 1995) have allowed to convert the income of certain fixed interest-rate bonds into variable income.

It would not be practical to present the 1995 figures. 1

The notional amount represents the exchange value used for the evaluation of future cash flows in the case of investments and other assets and liabilities with a determined maturity date; in the case of derivative financial instruments, the notional amount represents the value of the notional principal, to which a rate or a price is applied to determine the exchange of future cash flows.

Certain investment categories are reported at unamortized cost.

The General Fund receives demand and term deposits from depositors and pays out interest on these deposits. The rate indicated is the average rate paid out during the year.

2

Income earned on the investments of the Caisse's General Fund and Individual Funds is paid out or allocated to participation deposit holders. The rate indicated is the average annual rate. The rate represents only the income accounted for during the year on depositors' investments. It does not account for the change in the fair value of investments. For purposes of this calculation, participation deposits are computed at cost. The rate is different from the time-weighted rate of return which includes both income and changes in the fair value of investments.
