Domtar has inquired and continues to follow up on the work performed by its key business partners and suppliers of goods and services with respect to the implementation of their Year 2000 readiness programs. We are satisfied of the progress made to date in this area. However, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not cause any disruptions, mostly because of the aspects that are beyond Domtar's control and that depend on the diligence of its customers, suppliers or other third parties. In addition, as part of our program, each business unit is in the process of developing, by the end of the third quarter of 1999, a contingency and action plan to rapidly restore critical activities following unexpected interruptions or failures which could occur as a result of the Year 2000 issue. Additional information concerning Year 2000 readiness can be found on Page 38 of the Corporation's 1998 annual report.
