Certain information in this news release, in our annual report, in various filings with Canadian regulators, in reports to shareholders and in other communications, is forward-looking within the meaning of certain securities laws, and is subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions. This forward-looking information includes, among others, information with respect to our objectives and the strategies to achieve those objectives, as well as information with respect to our beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. The words "may", "could", "should", "would", "suspect", "outlook", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "target" and similar words and expressions are used to identify forward-looking information. The forward-looking information in this news release describes our expectations as at March 29, 2006.

The results or events predicted in such forward-looking information may differ materially from actual results or events. Material factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in such forward-looking information include, among others: general economic factors, adverse industry events, the adoption rate of our solutions by customers and by related electronic trading communities, the non-renewal of major contracts which expire in the near term, complexities and timing of signing government contracts, customers developing internally the capability to perform the services which we perform on their behalf, our response to our industry's rapid rate of change, competition, pricing pressures, fluctuations in our operating results, our ability to make and integrate strategic acquisitions, failures or material changes in our strategic relationships, exposure under contract indemnities, defects in software or failures in the processing of transactions, security or privacy breaches, our ability to attract and retain key personnel, our ability to protect our intellectual property, intellectual property infringement claims, and industry and government regulation.

We caution that the foregoing list of material factors is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking information to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. In making the forward-looking information contained in this news release, we do not assume any significant acquisitions, dispositions or one-time items. We do assume, however, the renewal of certain customer contracts. Every year, Emergis has major customer contracts that it needs to renew. Some of these may represent slightly more than 10% of Emergis' annual revenue. In addition, we also assume the signature of contracts in new markets in the public health sector. In this regard, Emergis is pursuing large opportunities that present a very long and complex sales cycle which substantially affect our forecasting abilities. We have assumed a certain timing for the realization of these opportunities which we think is reasonable but which may not be achieved. Furthermore, the pursuit of these larger opportunities does not ensure a linear progression of our revenue and earnings since they may involve significant up-front fees followed by reduced ongoing payments. We have assumed a certain progression which may not be realized. We have also assumed that the material factors referred to in the previous paragraph will not result in such forward-looking information to differ materially from actual results or events. However, each of these factors is subject to change and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will reflect the actual outcome of such items or factors. For additional information with respect to certain of these and other factors, please refer to our annual information form (risks and uncertainties) filed with the Canadian securities commissions.

THE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS NEWS RELEASE REPRESENTS THE EXPECTATIONS OF EMERGIS AS AT MARCH 29, 2006 AND, ACCORDINGLY, IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER SUCH DATE. HOWEVER, EMERGIS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY INTENTION OR OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
