Finning cautions readers that the risks described in the AIF are not the only
ones that could impact the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial may
also have a material adverse effect on Finning's business, financial condition,
or results of operations. 


Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements do not reflect the
potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of any
dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other
transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date hereof. The
