SOGHU is recognized by RECYCQUÉBEC as an organization capable of managing an integrated system of recovery and reclamation of all Regulation-applicable products and of educating the users. SOGHU’s vision is simple: the establishment and management of a program for the recovery and reclamation of all Regulation-applicable products that is efficient, self sufficient and environmentally, economically, and socially conscious. In short, a model of excellence from the view point of sustainable development. The success of the program rests on a win-win partnership, thanks to a system of financial incentives paid to Collectors based on product and geographical zone, as well as to Processors of plastics who shred and decontaminate the plastic and ensure that the materials are reintroduced into the manufacturing of other products. Here are some key points of the program; • Generators are the first step of the recovery process. For this third year of operation, particular attention was paid to increasing the collection rate of filters and containers and the registration of new Collection Facilities to serve all over the province of Quebec and to help meet the objectives in the Regulation. We therefore launched an advertising campaign aimed at reaching individuals and small businesses that manage their own used oils and who are generally not serviced by Collectors due to the small quantities they generate. The campaign’s main objective was to educate this particular clientele on their responsibility to recycle and inform them of the hundreds of municipalities or garages registered as Collection Facilities where they could dispose of the applicable products free of charge. A variety of articles published in specialty magazines (transportation, automotive, agriculture, municipal, construction, forestry, etc), television ad campaigns on Réseau des sports (RDS) and Météo Media, distribution of a DVD presentation on SOGHU, participation in two exhibitions for the two municipal associations (FQM and UMQ) and a booth at the environmental expo in old Montreal were the principal means used to promote SOGHU. With the financial assistance of RECYC-QUÉBEC of $42,208.00 the budget for all of SOGHU’s information campaigns, research and development came to $377,630.00. • Collectors recover applicable products from the generators. • Processors give new life to the products. • Collection Facilities serve as the bedrock, offering free service for all citizens. • RECYC-QUÉBEC joins SOGHU and executes the follow up in accordance with the Agreement. • Members finance and manage the system via SOGHU The basic principal at the core of the program is to respect the balance between commercial requirements and the needs of the community using the principal of sustainable development. A strict auditing process ensures the tracking of all products sold on the market right up to their reclamation. 2 The first two year’s achievements were excellent but it was imperative for SOGHU to improve even further, particularly where filters and containers were concerned, and we’ve succeeded. We are happy to present, in table format, the achievements of 2007 and our goals for the years 2008-09-10.

Mr. Denis Renaud, Mr. Raymond Savard, Mr. Charles Touchette, Mr. Paul Granda ONCE AGAIN, SOGHU IMPROVES ITS PERFORMANCE La Société de gestion des huiles usagées (SOGHU) has been operational since January 2005. It is comprised of numerous partners, including 213 Members (who put oil products on the market), 23 Collectors, 65 Processors, and 9 Internal Collector/Processors who collect and reclaim their own oil. All of these activities are performed in conformity with the applicable regulations. All products collected are 100% reclaimed. Amazingly, SOGHU continues to improve its achievements for each of the products that it is responsible for collecting and processing on behalf of its Members. In fact, the collection rate for oil before SOGHU was at 60% and climbed to 84% in 2005, 89% in 2006 to reach 93.5% in 2007. As for filters, the largest collection increase happened the first year in 2005 when the rate went from 20% to 73% and saw a mild increase to 74% in 2006 and went on to surpass the goal for 2008 with a rate of 82.7% reached in 2007. Prior to SOGHU’s launch, containers were not collected. Nevertheless the collection rate increase now is exceptional: 25% in 2005, 55% in 2006 and finally, 82.7% in 2007. These achievements have surpassed all high hopes. Furthermore, conscious of the importance of communication and information, SOGHU invested time and money in numerous media ventures including specialized magazines that target all interested parties, including forestry workers, farmers, manufacturers, municipalities, transporters, garages, the Centres de Formation en Entreprise et Récupération (CFER) and individuals, through television campaigns on Réseaux des sports (RDS) and Météo Média, through the distribution of a DVD presentation on SOGHU, and through attendance at multiple conferences and participation in exhibitions and meetings. We are extremely proud of our third year of operation, and the results speak, in part, to the commitment of SOGHU, its Members and in particular the Board of Directors, whose goal was to attain the objectives set out by the government, and also in part to the exceptional partnership between SOGHU, the Collectors, the Processors, the generators and municipalities and all in collaboration with RECYC-QUEBEC. In closing, the program is a prime example of sustainable development, balancing commercial requirements with the needs of the people. Make every drop count…. To achieve these results the Collectors serviced between 10,000 and 12,000 customers, 386 of which were registered as Collection Facilities in 2005 to offer free collection services to the population for all applicable products. In 2006 the number of Collection Facilities reached 486 and continued to climb to 571 as of December 31, 2007. SOGHU believes that the closer the services are to the people, the easier it is for them to use. We thank all of the companies and municipalities who took the environment’s best interest at heart and we ask the public to respect their hours and conditions. Many companies and municipalities understood the advantages of registering as Collection Facilities; being displayed on the SOGHU’s website therefore benefiting from free publicity and being able to tell their clients that they are actively participating in protecting the environment.

Those standards require that we 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 our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the organization as at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

STATUTES OF INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES The organization is incorporated under Part III of the Quebec Companies Act. According to the Federal and Provincial Income Tax Acts, it is a non-profit organization and is therefore exempt from income taxes. According to the terms of a consent agreement with RECYC-QUÉBEC, the company has the mandate to establish and administer a program for recovery and reclamation of used oils, oil or fluid containers and used filters. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of estimates The presentation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenues recognition Environmental Handling Charge revenue are recognized when the lubricating oil and/or oil containers and oil filters are sold by Members, except for revenue from prior years received in the current year following a new registration, because the Environmental Handling Charge must be remitted retroactively from January 1st, 2004, and for additionnal revenue determined following a compliance review. These Environmental Handling Charges are recognized in the year during which they are determined. Return Incentives Return Incentives expenses are recognized when the lubricating oil and/or oil containers and oil filters are collected by a SOGHU registred Collector. Processor Incentives Processor Incentives expenses are recognized when the lubricating oil containers are processed by a SOGHU registred Processor. Financial assets and liabilities Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading Financial instruments held for trading represent assets acquired or liabilities assumed principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. They are recognized at fair value for each balance sheet date using the fair market value method. Any change in the fair value is recognized in the statement of operations in the year they occur. 15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2007 Held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities Financial instruments classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The interest income or the interest charge is included in the statement of operations through the expected life of the financial instrument. Available-for-sale financial assets Financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at fair value at each balance sheet date and any change in the fair value is accounted for in the statement of operations at each balance sheet date of the year during which these changes arise. Investments securities classified as available-for-sale and that are not actively traded are accounted for at cost. Investments available-for-sale are written down at the fair value when it is necessary to reflect a permanent impairment. When the instrument is derecognized, all cumulated unrealized gains and losses are derecognized in the unrestricted net asset and all realized gains and losses on available-for-sale financial assets are then accounted for in the statement of operations as realized gain or loss on disposal of investments. Fixed assets Fixed assets are accounted for at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives at the following rates: Computer hardware Computer software Furniture and fixtures 33% 100% 20% Cash and cash equivalents The organization's cash and cash equivalents include cash and term deposits maturing within three months. 3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES January 1st, 2007, the organization has adopted the new recommendation of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, relating to recognition, measurement and presentation of financial instruments according to sections 3855, Financial instruments recognition and measurement, 3862, Financial instruments - disclosure and 3863, Financial instruments - presentation. These new handbook sections provide requirements as to the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The application of these new sections had no impact on the financial statements of the organization as of January 1st, 2007. The significant modifications in the reporting of financial instruments resulting of the adoption of these new standards are described below. Further to the adoption of these new standards, the organization has classified its cash as assets held for trading. Term deposits with maturation periods exceeding three months are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Accounts receivable and accrued interest receivable are classified as loans and receivables. Accounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities which are measured, in each case, at amortized cost. 16 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2007 4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") issued a new standard, Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, which requires an organization to disclose qualitative and quantitative information to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate its capital management objectives, policies and procedures. This section applies to annual financial statements for years beginning on or after October 1st, 2007. The organization does not anticipate any significant effect on financial statements further to the adoption of this new standard. 5. INVESTMENTS Portfolio investments: Term deposits, bearing interest at rates from 4.22% to 4.60%, maturing from November 2007 to May 2011.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In the ordinary course of its business, the organization receives an Environmental Handling Charge from its Members and pays incentive returns to Collectors and Processors. Some Members and one Collector (without voting rights) have representatives who are part of the board of directors. These transactions are measured at the exchange amount and are subjected to the usual commercial conditions of the organization. The principal transactions concluded with related party during the year are as follow: 2007 2006 $ 4 182 888 200 $ 4 400 831 200 150 443 – $ 74 211 439 168 263 610 $– Revenue Environmental Handling Charge Renewal Expenses Return Incentives Processing Incentives Collection Facilities Incentives 10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Available-for-sale financial assets For the long-term investments consisting of term deposits, the fair values approximate the carrying values because of their interest rates which represent the interest rates the organization could obtain for investments with similar terms and maturity dates. Credit risk In the normal course of its operation, the organization monitors the Members that did not produce monthly remittance forms and did not remit the Environmental Handling Charge. The organization is not exposed to any significant risk with respect to a single Member. 19 SOGHU COMMITTEES BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ginette Bureau RECYC-QUÉBEC Julian Cininni Total Lubrifiants Canada inc.
