Teknion to Take Goodwill Charge

TORONTO, ONTARIO today announced that based on the preliminary results of its annual testing for impairment of goodwill in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants' Handbook Section 3062, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company has determined that the current carrying value of its goodwill is impaired, and the Company will record a non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. The Company believes that the impairment charge may be material. The Company's policy on accounting for goodwill is set forth in note 1 to the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to complete its analysis, and finalize and announce the amount of the impairment by February 13, 2008, the anticipated date of the release of the Company's financial results for the 2007 fourth quarter and fiscal year. The Company does not expect that this impairment charge will have any effect on the previously announced proposed acquisition of the Company by its controlling shareholder.
