      11km (6.84 miles) of freeway along with 25 road structures. This project
      followed the completion of previous assignments by Stantec early on in the
      design of the ring road. Similarly, in Ottawa, Ontario, the Company completed
      an
      environmental assessment and the detailed design of a major roadway
      rehabilitation for Perth Street and later in the year Stantec was awarded the
      construction administration services portion of the project which includes
      civil
      engineering, landscape architecture, and survey services. In California, Stantec
      is working on a multi-million dollar contract for the engineering design,
      program and project management of the eastern portion of the New Model Colony,
      located in Ontario. The New Model Colony is comprised of approximately 7,676
      acres (3,106 hectares) consisting of 30 planning areas. Stantec will provide
      professional engineering and consulting services for the backbone infrastructure
      on over 12 of the 30 areas covering approximately 3,500 acres (1,416 hectares).
      These facilities will include 34 miles (54.7 km) of arterial streets, water

      describes what constitutes GAAP and its sources and states that an entity should
      apply every primary source of GAAP that deals with the accounting and reporting
      in financial statements of transactions or events it encounters. The initial
      adoption of these recommendations on a prospective basis on January 1, 2004,
      did
      not have an impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial
      statements.</font></div>

      preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
      to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
      and
      liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
      of
      revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used
      in
      the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the
      percentage of completion of fixed fee and variable fee with ceiling contracts,
      provisions for losses on incomplete contracts, allowances for doubtful accounts
      receivable, provision for legal claims, provision for self-insured liabilities,
      the fair value of stock-based awards, the fair value of identifiable intangible
      assets acquired in business acquisitions, liabilities for lease exit activities,
      and future cash flows used to estimate the fair value of reporting units for
      goodwill impairment purposes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

      agreements, and advantageous leasehold commitments, which are amortized over
      estimated lives of one to five years. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated
      annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit,
      determined on a discounted after-tax cash flow basis, to the carrying value.

      January 2005, the CICA released the new Handbook Section 1530, "Comprehensive
      Income", and Section 3251, "Equity", effective for annual and interim periods
      beginning on or after October 1, 2006. These pronouncements further align
      Canadian GAAP with US GAAP (note 20). Section 1530 establishes standards for
      the
      reporting and display of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined
      to include revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, in accordance with primary
      sources of GAAP, are recognized in comprehensive income, but excluded from
      net
      income. The Section does not address issues of recognition or measurement for
      comprehensive income and its components. Section 3251 establishes standards
      for
      the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period.
      The requirements in the Section are in addition to Section 1530 and recommend
      that an enterprise present separately the components of equity: retained
      earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, the total for retained
      earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income, contributed surplus, share
      capital and reserves. Upon initial adoption of these recommendations in fiscal
      2007 unrealized losses on the translation of self-sustaining foreign operations
      will be included in comprehensive income. Currently these unrealized losses
      are
      reflected in our cumulative translation account.</font></div>

      Canadian GAAP with US GAAP (note 20). This Section provides standards for the
      classification of financial instruments and the related interest, dividends,
      gains and losses. It prescribes when a financial instrument should be stated
      at
      fair value and when it would be valued using cost-based measures. Financial
      instruments are defined to include accounts receivable and payable, loans,
      investments in debt and equity securities and derivative contracts. Upon initial
      adoption of these recommendations in fiscal 2007 the Company&#8217;s investments held
      for self-insured liabilities will be reflected as investments held for sale
      and
      the resulting unrealized gains or losses will be reflected through other

      are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the results
      of
      operations since the respective dates of acquisition are included in the
      consolidated statements of income. From time to time, as a result of the timing
      of acquisitions in relation to the Company's reporting schedule, certain of
      the
      purchase price allocations may not be finalized at the initial time of
      reporting. Purchase price allocations are completed after the vendors' final
      financial statements and income tax returns have been prepared and accepted
      by
      the Company. Such preliminary purchase price allocations are based on
      management's best estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and
      liabilities. Upon finalization, adjustments to the initial estimates may be
      required and such adjustments may be material. The purchase prices of
      acquisitions are generally subject to price adjustment clauses included in
      the
      purchase agreements. Such purchase price adjustments generally result in an
      increase or reduction to the promissory note consideration recorded at
      acquisition to reflect either more or less non-cash working capital realized
      than was originally expected. These purchase price adjustments therefore, have
      no net effect on the original purchase price allocations. In the case of some
      acquisitions, additional consideration may be payable based on future
      performance parameters. As at December 31, 2005, the maximum contingent
      consideration that may be payable in 2006 and future years is approximately
      $9,000. Such additional consideration is recorded as additional goodwill in
      the
      period in which the contingency is resolved.</font></div>

      This facility is available for acquisitions, working capital needs, capital
      expenditures, and general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2005, the facility
      was accessed to finance a portion of the Keith acquisition. Depending on the

      between Canadian prime, US base rate, or LIBOR rate or bankers acceptance rates
      plus 65 or 85 basis points. As at December 31, 2005, $29,075,000 of the bank

      The
      average interest rate applicable at December 31, 2005 was 4.34% (2004 - 3.47%)
      .
      The credit facility agreement contains restrictive covenants, including, but
      not

      the
      normal conduct of operations, various legal claims are pending against the
      Company alleging, among other things, breaches of contract or negligence in
      connection with the performance of consulting services. The Company carries
      professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy
      limits, and has a captive insurance company that provides insurance protection
      against such claims. In some cases, parties are seeking damages that
      substantially exceed the Company's insurance coverage. Based on advice and
      information provided by legal counsel, the Company's previous experience with
      the settlement of similar claims, and the results from the annual actuarial
      review, management believes that the Company has recognized adequate provisions
      for probable and reasonably estimable liabilities associated with these claims
      and that their ultimate resolutions will not materially exceed insurance
      coverages or have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
      financial position or annual results of operations. Management cannot estimate
      the extent to which losses exceeding those already recorded in the financial
      statements may be incurred.</font></div>

      value of options granted subsequent to January 1, 2002, is determined at the

      option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
      traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.
      In
      addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
      assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's
      employee stock options have characteristics that are significantly different
      from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective input
      assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
      opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure
      of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.</font></div>

      2003, the Company had seven operating segments, of which five were aggregated
      into the Consulting Services reportable segment. The two remaining operating
      segments (Design Build and Technology), which were below the quantitative
      thresholds in the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
      Accountants, were disclosed in the Other reportable segment. In addition to
      the
      above-noted operating segments, corporate administration groups reported to
      the
      CEO and were included in the Other reportable segment. In the second quarter
      of
      2004, an additional operating segment was added upon the acquisition of The
      Sear-Brown Group, Inc. This new segment has been aggregated into the Consulting
      Services reportable segment.</font></div>

      assets held for sale pending the finalization of an agreement to sell the
      Company's interest. The sale was completed in 2004. In addition, during 2004,
      the Company sold the operations related to its Technology segment. Operations
      sold during the year have not been presented as discontinued operations, because

      positioning ourselves among the top-three service providers in our geographic
      regions and practice areas. Through our &#8220;One Team. Infinite Solutions.&#8221; approach
      to our business, we are able to undertake infrastructure and facilities projects
      of any size for both public and private sector clients. Currently, the majority
      of assignments we pursue are small to midsize projects with a capital value
      of
      less than $100 million offering potential project fees for Stantec of less
      than
      $10 million. These types of projects represent the largest share of the
      infrastructure and facilities market. Focusing on this project mix continues
      to
      ensure that we do not rely on a few large, single projects for our revenue
      and
      that no single client or project accounts for more than 5% of our overall
      business. </font></div>

      complementary practice areas, and providing services in all five phases of
      the
      infrastructure and facilities project life cycle (planning, design,
      construction, maintenance, and decommissioning). Although we employ this
      three-dimensional matrix model, to meet GAAP requirements in Canada and the
      United States, we have one reportable segment&#8212;Consulting Services. We consider
      the basis on which we are organized, including geographic areas and service
      offerings, in identifying our reportable segments. Operating segments of the
      Company are defined as components of the Company for which separate financial
      information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
      decision maker in allocating resources and assessing performance. Our chief
      operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and our operating
      segments are based on our regional geographic areas. We have established
      practice areas as a technical rather than financial structure to provide
      strategic direction, mentoring, and technical support across all of our
      geographic regions.</font></div>

      Our strategy for increasing our geographic reach is made up of two components.
      The first component is to grow our existing regional operations by expanding
      our
      services particularly in areas where we have not yet reached a mature market
      presence. We target to achieve a market penetration of $10 million in revenue
      per 1 million people in these regions. Secondly, our strategy is to expand
      outside our existing regions principally in the United States and Canada. We
      plan to continue to grow geographically primarily by acquiring firms that meet
      our integration criteria and to a lesser extent by expanding
      organically.</font></div>

      Adequate financing gives us the flexibility to acquire firms that are

      of
      19.3% . To fund such growth, we require cash generated from both internal and
      external sources. Historically, we have completed acquisitions using mostly
      cash
      and notes, while at opportune times raising additional equity to replenish
      our
      cash reserves, pay down debt, or strengthen our balance sheet. To date, we
      have
      issued additional shares for these purposes on four occasions&#8212;in 1997, 2000,
      2002, and 2005. The issuance of additional shares in 2005 was related to the
      acquisition of The Keith Companies, Inc. In 2005 we replaced our existing credit
      facility with a three-year revolving credit facility that provides us with
      a
      line of credit of $160 million. Such financing will help us continue to pursue

      three
      acquisitions completed in 2005, the four completed in 2004, and the three
      completed in 2003 contributed to our year-over-year growth in gross revenue
      and
      net income. The $266.7 million increase in total assets from 2004 to 2005 was
      mainly due to the acquisition of $162.1 million in goodwill and of $24.0 million
      in intangible assets in the three acquisitions completed in 2005. The intangible
      assets consisted primarily of acquired client relationships ($18.4 million)
      and
      contract backlog ($5.0 million), which will be amortized as a charge to net
      income at various rates over 1-15 years. During the third quarter of 2005,
      we
      conducted our annual goodwill impairment review. An independent third party
      was
      contracted to perform a valuation of the goodwill of our operations in the
      US
      Southeast. The review concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill. Other
      increases in assets in 2005 can be attributed to internal growth and growth
      through acquisitions. </font></div>

      the recovery of administrative disbursements related to billable projects.
      The
      impact of this change was a 1.2% increase in gross margin. In addition, the

      improved project management and enhanced gross margin in 2005. The increase
      in
      our gross margin percentage in 2004 from 2003 was due to the lower proportion

      margins in all practice areas have improved from 2003 to 2005 and are higher

      Discussion and Analysis, with the exception of our Industrial &amp; Project
      Management practice area where the year-to-date gross margin is 47.6% . This
      practice area experienced a slow start in the year; however, its margins are
      steadily increasing, and we believe opportunities exist to further increase
      its
      gross margins with the addition of skills from the Keith acquisition. The
      increase in gross margins all practice areas in 2005 compared to 2004 can be
      attributed to the same factors discussed above. Our 2004 Transportation and
      Urban Land practice area gross margins increased over 2003 gross margins by
      3.6%
      and 1.2% respectively, primarily as a result of the type and size of the
      projects undertaken by these practice areas during 2004 as well as an increase

      of shares. Diluted earnings per share on a quarterly and annual basis are also
      affected by the change in the market price of our shares, since we do not

      Q4
      05, our gross revenue showed strong growth since it increased $53.6 million,
      or
      42.2%, to $180.6 million from $127.0 million for the same period in 2004.
      Approximately $40.8 million of this increase resulted from acquisitions
      completed in 2003, 2004, and 2005 and net internal growth of $14.4 million,
      offset by $1.6 million resulting from the effect of the change in foreign

      income during Q4 05 decreased by $1.6 million, and earnings per share decreased
      $0.16 compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in net income was partly
      due to the $1.0 million in additional professional liability claims expense
      recorded in Q4 05 based on an independent actuarial report completed in Q4
      05.
      Net income was also affected by an increase of $1.8 million in the amortization
      of intangible assets over Q4 04 arising on the three acquisitions completed
      in
      2005. The weighted average number of shares in the Company outstanding during
      Q4
      05 was 22,307,604 and included the 3,328,776 shares issued as part of the Keith
      acquisition compared to the 18,532,085 shares outstanding during Q4 04. The
      combined impact of these items reduced our reported earnings per share by $0.16.
      In Q4 04 we reflected approximately $1.3 million in additional income as a
      result of a cumulative adjustment made to the professional liability claims
      reserve required in our regulated insurance subsidiary based on an independent
      actuarial report. As well, the reduction in the claims expense resulted in
      additional income in a low tax rate jurisdiction, the impact of which was
      reflected entirely in Q4 04. The impact of this adjustment on our Q4 04 income
      tax expenses was a decrease of $0.4 million. The combined impact of these items
      increased our reported earnings per share in that quarter by $0.09.</font></div>

      of a
      significant increase in operating cash flows in 2004 as explained below. The
      implementation of our new enterprise management system in the fourth quarter
      of
      2003 contributed to the significant reduction in cash flows from operations
      for
      2003. The reduction in our investment in costs and estimated earnings in excess
      of billings and in accounts receivable from 119 to 101 days of revenue during
      2004 was the primary reason for the increased cash flow in 2004. In 2005 we

      collections subsequent to the period end in order to adjust our provisions
      for
      known collections for the accounts provided for. During the period 2003 through
      2005, our provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable
      has continued to fall as our collection procedures and billing cycles have
      become more refined and as the availability of historical collection and loss
      experience has been enhanced. We generally expect that costs and estimated
      earnings in excess of billings will be invoiced within a month to 90 days from
      the provision of services, and our standard terms are that invoices are due
      upon
      receipt. The implementation of our new enterprise management system has provided
      us with additional tools and information that may translate into improved
      collections on older accounts receivable and reduce the level of allowance

      addition to the above, the decrease in operating cash flows in 2005 was due
      to
      an increase of $17.8 million in net income taxes paid and a net increase of
      $4.7
      million in cash receipts from clients less cash paid to suppliers and employees,
      offset by a reduction of $2.2 million in the amount of net interest expense
      paid
      in 2005. Income taxes payable at the end of 2003 were lower than normal due
      to
      our high level of investment in costs and estimated earnings in excess of
      billings at that time. This resulted in lower income tax payments in the first
      quarter of 2004 as well as lower income tax installment requirements for 2004.
      Our income tax payments increased in 2005 over 2004 to cover the higher income
      tax liability outstanding at the end of 2004 as well as the increased income

      used to finance the three acquisitions completed during the year versus $18.8
      million used in 2004 and $6.0 million used in 2003. Our 2005 investment
      activities also included the use of $1.7 million for the expansion and
      improvement of our office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, office. In 2004 there was
      a
      cash inflow from the sale of our Edmonton office building as well as the sale
      of
      our interest in Goodfellow EFSOP&#8482; technology. This 2004 inflow was offset by an
      investment in short-term investments related to self-insured liabilities arising
      on the establishment of our regulated insurance company. In 2003 our cash flow
      used in investment activities was higher than in 2004 because it included the

      into a new three-year revolving credit facility. Our new credit facility
      provides for a line of credit of $160 million. During the third quarter, we

      working capital needs, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes.
      Depending on the form under which the credit facility is accessed and certain
      financial covenant calculations, rates of interest will vary between Canadian
      prime, US base rate, or LIBOR rate or bankers acceptances rates plus 65 or
      85

      service ratio are defined in the Definition of Non-GAAP Measures of the Critical

      We
      were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2005. During 2005,

      Normal Course Issuer Bid on the TSX was renewed in 2005 and allows us to
      repurchase up to 946,705 shares. We continue to believe that, from time to
      time,
      the market price of our common shares does not fully reflect the value of our
      business or future business prospects and that, at such times, outstanding
      common shares are an attractive, appropriate, and desirable use of available
      Company funds. In 2005 we purchased 6,800 common shares at an average price
      of
      $28.68 per share for an aggregate price of $195,000. In 2004 we purchased 29,300
      common shares at an average price of $24.57 per share for an aggregate price
      of

      In
      January 2005, the CICA released a new section in its handbook, Section 3855,
      &#8220;Financial Instruments&#8212;Recognition and Measurement,&#8221; effective for annual and
      interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This pronouncement
      further aligned Canadian GAAP with US GAAP. The section provides standards
      for
      the classification of financial instruments and related interest, dividends,
      gains, and losses. It prescribes when a financial instrument should be stated
      at
      fair value and when it would be valued using cost-based measures. Financial
      instruments are defined to include accounts receivable and payable, loans,
      investments in debt and equity securities, and derivative contracts. Upon
      initial adoption of this section in fiscal 2007, our investments held for
      self-insured liabilities will be reflected as investments held for sale, and
      the
      resulting unrealized gains or losses will be reflected through other
      comprehensive income until realized, at which time the gains or losses will
      be
      recognized in net income. This new standard is not expected to have a material
      effect on the results of operations. </font></div>

      In
      January 2005, the CICA released the new handbook Section 1530, &#8220;Comprehensive
      Income,&#8221; and Section 3251, &#8220;Equity,&#8221; effective for annual and interim periods
      beginning on or after October 1, 2006. These pronouncements further aligned
      Canadian GAAP with US GAAP. Section 1530 establishes standards for the reporting
      and display of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined to include
      revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that, in accordance with primary sources
      of GAAP, are recognized in comprehensive income but excluded from net income.
      Section 1530 does not address issues of recognition or measurement for
      comprehensive income and its components. Section 3251, Equity, establishes
      standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the
      reporting period. The requirements set out in Section 3251 are in addition
      to
      those established in Section 1530 and stipulate that an enterprise present
      separately the components of equity: retained earnings, accumulated other
      comprehensive income, the total for retained earnings and accumulated other
      comprehensive income, contributed surplus, share capital, and reserves. Upon
      initial adoption of these recommendations in fiscal 2007, unrealized losses
      on
      the translation of our self-sustaining foreign operations will be included
      in
      comprehensive income. Currently, these unrealized losses are reflected in our
      cumulative translation account. </font></div>

      conduct our business under various types of contractual arrangements, most
      of

      value of our contracts in 2005 was based on a fixed-fee or time-and-materials
      contract with a ceiling on the maximum costs to the client. Under fixed-fee
      contracts, we perform services at a stipulated price. Under time-and-materials
      contracts with not-to-exceed provisions, we are reimbursed for the number of
      labor hours expended at an established hourly rate plus the cost of materials
      incurred subject, however, to a stated maximum dollar amount for the services
      to
      be provided. In both of these types of contracts, we agree to provide our
      services based on our estimate of the costs a particular project will involve.
      These estimates are established in part on cost and scheduling projections,
      which may prove to be inaccurate, or circumstances may arise such as
      unanticipated technical problems, weaknesses in project management, difficulties
      in obtaining permits or approvals, changes in local laws, or delays beyond
      our
      ability to control. The underestimation of costs for these types of contracts
      may cause us to incur losses or result in a project not being as profitable
      as
      we expect. In addition, projects that are not completed on schedule further
      reduce profitability because staff must continue to work on the project longer
      than anticipated, which may prevent them from pursuing and working on new
      projects. Projects that are over budget or not on schedule may also lead to

      The number and identity of competitors vary widely with the type of service
      we
      provide. For small- to medium-sized projects, we compete with many engineering,
      architecture, and other professional consulting firms. For larger projects,
      there are fewer but still many competitors, and many of these competitors have
      greater financial and other resources than we do. Although we compete with
      other
      large private and public companies in certain geographic locations, our primary
      competitors are smaller, privately held regional firms in the United States
      and
      Canada. Generally, competition places downward pressure on our contract prices
      and profit margins. However, such impact is difficult to quantify. Intense
      competition is expected to continue in these markets, presenting significant
      challenges to our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit

      because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of the completion
      of the acquisition, integration, or a desire not to remain with the combined

      When we acquire a consulting business, a significant portion of the purchase
      price for the acquisition is generally allocated to goodwill and other
      identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price allocated
      to
      goodwill is determined by the excess of the purchase price paid by us to acquire
      the consulting business over the fair value of the net identifiable assets
      acquired. Canadian and US accounting rules require us to perform an annual
      impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. A
      deterioration in the operating results of such acquired businesses or the
      failure of these businesses to meet our expectations may adversely affect the
      carrying value of our goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
      and
      could result in an impairment of the goodwill associated with such businesses.
      As part of our annual review of goodwill for impairment, we consider our actual
      performance for each of our reporting units compared to our expectations and
      update our future expectations for such reporting units. An impairment of
      goodwill would be recorded as a charge in our income statement, which could
      have
      a material effect on our earnings. </font></div>

      projects with a capital value of less than $100 million offering potential
      project fees for Stantec of less than $10 million. These types of projects
      represent the largest share of the infrastructure and facilities market.
      Focusing on this project mix continues to ensure that we do not rely on a few
      large, single projects for our revenue and that no single client or project
      accounts for more than 5% of our overall business. </font></div>
