Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations

Operating revenues

During the first 2009 quarter, operating revenues totalled $1,083,578 compared to $999,756 in the first quarter of 2008, representing an 8.4% increase. The change in operating revenues between the periods is due primarily to the increase in the occupancy rate, mainly for Place d'Affaires Lebourgneuf Phase 2. The remaining increase is related to the renewal of leases that have expired between the two periods at a higher price.

Net operating income

Net operating income was $435,090 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $371,379 for the corresponding period in 2008. This represents an increase of 17.2% which is greater than the income growth because the operating expenses were up only 3.2%, while revenues were up 8.4%. Consequently, the net operating margin rose from 37.1% in the first quarter of 2008 to 40.2% in 2009.

Income from real estate activities

Income from real estate activities has undergone a significant increase of $83,006, an improvement of 83.5%, which is higher than the increase in net operating income. This is due to the fact that financing costs are down $19,296.
Net loss

Net loss decreased by 44.8%, reaching $54,266. More importantly, income from operations before variation in non-cash working capital increased by 134.7%, up from $72,288 to $125,935.

Occupancy rate of income properties

The occupancy rate of our income properties has rose significantly in the first quarter of 2009, going from 86.1% at March 31, 2008 to 89.8% at March 31, 2009 - attesting to our hard work and the vibrancy of the Quebec region, where four of our buildings are located. Had it not been for the recent expansion of Edifice Centre D'Affaires Le Mesnil that is not yet rented, the occupancy rate would have been 90.8%. Furthermore, between these two periods, we signed for over 100,000 square feet worth of leases in the building under construction, Complexe Lebourgneuf, without having it affect the occupancy rate of existing real estate portfolio of the Corporation, even if these buildings were located in the same Quebec region as Complexe Lebourgneuf.

Property under development

As of today, Complexe Lebourgneuf, the building under construction at March 31, 2009, is already leased at more than 48%. First occupants of this building of 215,000 square-feet will arrive in the third quarter of 2009 and net revenues related to signed lease agreements already exceed the amount required to service the debt.

Events subsequent to March 31, 2009

In April 2009, the Corporation renewed a hypothecary loan with a balance of $822,496 that expired during that month. The term of this effect is due one year and comes with an annual interest rate of 6%.

In May 2009, the Corporation closed a 2nd rank hypothecary loan for the amount of $1,000,000 for Edifice Centre d'Affaires Le Mesnil. The hypothec provides a four (4) year term, a capital payable at maturity of the term in May 2013, and a 9% per annum interest rate payable by monthly instalments. This arm's length financing was set up to defray the costs of expansion of the leasable area of the aforementioned building, as well as the cost of the leasehold improvements for a leased premises of over 16,500 square feet in Edifice Centre d'Affaires Le Mesnil for the Ministry of Transport, which occupies the leased premises since February 1, 2009.

The fact that the Corporation secured these two financings in the current economic environment shows the lenders' confidence towards the Corporation.

Financial measures not in compliance with Canadian GAAP

Net operating income and income from real estate activities are not measures defined by the GAAP, but they are useful measures to evaluate the performance of the Corporation and are commonly used in the real estate sector. We wish to warn you that these measures have no standardized meanings and may therefore differ from a public corporation to another.
