Forward-looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release constitute "forward-looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of the Fund and/or the Data Group, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, words such as "may", "would", "could", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "plan", and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Fund's current views regarding future events and operating performance, are based on information currently available to the Fund, and speak only as of the date of this press release. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such performance or results will be achieved. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Fund and the Data Group to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The principal assumptions and risks that the Fund made or took into account in the preparation of these forward-looking statements include the impact of the weakened domestic and global economic conditions on the Data Group's businesses; the risk that the Data Group's efforts to reduce its operating costs may not become effective as quickly as the Data Group expects, thereby impacting the Data Group's profitability and cash available for distribution should the Data Group's revenues decline further than expected; the risk that, should the Data Group's revenues decline further than expected, the cost reduction measures taken by the Data Group in response to the current economic environment may not be sufficient and further reductions may be necessary; the Data Group's ability to grow its sales or even maintain historical levels of its sales of product and services including printed business documents; increases in the costs of paper and other raw materials used by the Data Group; the Data Group's ability to maintain relationships with its customers; competition from competitors supplying similar products and services; and the application of recent changes to the income tax treatment of certain income trusts, such as the Fund, which will subject the Fund to tax commencing in 2011, and the effect of those changes on the trading price of the Fund's units. Additional factors are discussed elsewhere in this press release and under the heading "Risks and Uncertainties" in the Fund's management's discussion and analysis and in the Fund's other publicly available disclosure documents, as filed by the Fund on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this press release as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Unless required by applicable securities law, the Fund does not intend and does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
