Included in the quarter's results were pre-tax restructuring costs related to specific items of $31.3 million, or 6 cents a share. Before these costs, CGI net earnings would have been $34.7 million or 10 cents per share. Contract bookings during the second quarter totaled $1.75 billion.

“This quarter was a repositioning of our Company for the next wave of profitable growth,” said Michael E. Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the impact of a sharper than expected sequential decline in business from BCE, the restructuring program related to specific items announced last month was a necessary action to ensure that our business remains solid as we continue aggressively pursuing a robust funnel of opportunities in each of our selected verticals.”

“Our financial situation remains healthy, with the balance sheet and cash flows to support our Buy and Build growth strategy,” added Roach. “In the quarter, we successfully signed a series of strategic bookings and completed both the previously announced buyback of 100 million shares and the niche acquisition of Pangaea. In addition, we made a $30 million debt payment and we ended the quarter with almost $200 million in cash.”

Second Quarter 2006 Operational Review

During the quarter, as part of the Company’s announced program to strengthen its competitive position, each business unit and global function, including corporate, was re-examined at granular levels. In connection with this initiative, a pre-tax provision, for severance and other related benefits as well as real estate consolidation, totaling $31.3 million, was taken in the second quarter. The Company expects to incur approximately $60 million in remaining provisions over the course of this calendar year and anticipates a one-year payback on its total program investment.

During the second quarter, the Company earned $1.75 billion in new bookings. Below are certain contract wins announced by CGI since the end of its first fiscal quarter:

• US$30-40 million business process services contract with Medco Health Solutions Inc. to provide payment, reconciliation and enrollment form processing services.

• $1.1 billion in extensions of BCE outsourcing agreements, until June 2016.

• $90 million, seven-year infrastructure management contract with Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada.

• Multi-million dollar six-year business process services contract with Boston-based, OneBeacon Insurance Group. Services will include policy administration and front-end agent solutions.

• US$100 million AMS Advantage contracts with the City of New York and Wake County, North Carolina to support budget control systems.

Outlook

While the sales cycle for outsourcing deals has extended to between 12 and 24 months, demand for these services remains strong and is expected to continue to grow. This being said, the Company continues to win strategic contracts.

For example, following the end of the quarter, the Company announced a 10-year $130 million outsourcing contract with the international entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil.

Prospects in both the commercial and public sectors of the US look especially strong over the coming quarters. In particular, in the public sector, CGI’s Advantage and Momentum ERP solutions continue gaining traction with new and existing clients. As part of its strategy, following the acquisition of AMS, the Company continues to leverage its ERP solutions into longer-term recurring business.

Also in the US, and subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company signed a seven-year business process services deal with Universal Insurance valued at between US$45-US$75 million to process Universal’s book of business.

The Company expects growth in the US to further accelerate and as a result, is actively recruiting 500 new employees across the US.

CGI’s 2006-2008 business plan reaffirms its successful four pillar growth strategy, with CGI a consolidator in its industry through a balance of organic and external growth. While CGI already has critical mass in its main geographies, it will continue to increase its presence through acquisitions in selected metropolitan markets where it sees the greatest potential to drive organic growth.

Quarterly Conference Call

Investors and the media are invited to a conference call to discuss quarterly results tomorrow morning, April 26, 2006, at 10:00 am (ET). Participants may access the call by dialing (866) 542-4236 or through the Internet at www.cgi.com. Supporting slides for the call will also be available at www.cgi.com. For those unable to participate on the live call, a webcast and copy of the slides will be archived at www.cgi.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

CGI reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as they provide additional measures of its performance. Explanations as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures with GAAP financial statements are provided in the MD&A which is posted on CGI’s website at www.cgi.com, and filed with SEDAR and EDGAR.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

(tabular amounts only are in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share data)(unaudited)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, are unaudited and include all adjustments that management of CGI Group Inc. (the “Company”) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The disclosures provided for these interim periods do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the annual consolidated financial statements; therefore, the interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended

September 30, 2005. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

Restatement

The Company provides a centralized service to the Canadian property and casualty insurance industry for the purpose of ordering abstracts of driving records from government authorities. Following its accounting reviews performed during the year ended September 30, 2005, the Company revised its interpretation of the accounting treatment related to those services. The revised interpretation required that the revenue and applicable costs of services charged to clients, which are included in Costs of services, selling and administrative expenses, be presented on a net basis rather than on a gross basis as they had been presented previously. For comparative purposes, the reclassification amounted to $14,034,000 and $25,945,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. The revised presentation is in accordance with Emerging Issue Committee (“EIC”) Abstract 123, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, which addresses whether an enterprise should recognize revenue based upon the gross amount billed to the client or the net amount retained. This reclassification had no impact on net earnings or cash flows.

Change in accounting policies

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) has issued the following new Handbook Sections which were effective for interim periods beginning on or after

January 1, 2006:

a) Handbook Section 3831, “Non-Monetary Transactions”, requires that non-monetary transactions be recorded at fair value unless the transaction has no commercial substance, it is an exchange of inventory, it is non-monetary, non-reciprocal transfer to owners or it’s not reliably measurable. The adoption of this section did not have any impact on the consolidated financials statements.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Change in accounting policies (continued)

b) EIC 156, “Accounting by a Vendor for Consideration Given to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”, provides guidance to companies that give incentives to customers or resellers in the form of cash, equity, free gifts, coupons and other. The adoption of EIC 156 did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company already adopted the US equivalent of EIC 156 which is EITF 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force as at September 30, 2002.

Future accounting changes

The CICA has issued the following new Handbook Sections:

a) Handbook Section 3855, “Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The section describes the standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets, except for those classified as held-to-maturity, and derivative financial instruments must be measured at their fair value. All financial liabilities must be measured at their fair value if they are classified as held for trading purposes, if not, they are measured at their carrying value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new section on the consolidated financial statements.

b) Handbook Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, and Section 3251, “Equity”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Comprehensive income is the change in equity of an enterprise during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes items that would normally not be included in net income such as changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment relating to self-sustaining foreign operations and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial instruments. This section describes how to report and disclose comprehensive income and its components. Section 3251, “Equity”, replaces Section 3250, “Surplus”, and establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity as a result of the new requirements of Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”. Upon adoption of this section, the consolidated financial statements will include a statement of comprehensive income.

c) Handbook Section 3865, “Hedges”, effective for interim periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This section describes when hedge accounting is appropriate. Hedge accounting ensures that all gains, losses, revenues and expenses from the derivative and the item it hedges are recorded in the statement of earnings in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this section on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Credit facilities

On January 12, 2006, the Company amended its existing five-year unsecured revolving credit facility to increase its size to $1,000,000,000. This agreement comprises a Canadian tranche with a limit of $850,000,000 and a U.S. tranche equivalent to $150,000,000. The interest rate charged is determined by the denomination of the amount drawn. As at March 31, 2006, an amount of $720,000,000 has been drawn upon this facility. Also, an amount of $28,709,658 has been committed against this facility to cover various letters of credit issued for clients and other parties. Financing fees of $2,334,000 were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and were recorded in Finite-life intangibles and other long-term assets. In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Company has available demand lines of credit in the amounts of $27,000,000 and £2,000,000. As at March 31, 2006, $4,041,357 has been drawn upon these facilities. 

The long-term debt agreements contain covenants which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. At March 31, 2006, the Company is in compliance with the covenants of its credit facilities and other long-term debt. The Company has obtained certain amendments to the definition and calculations of the ratios which takes into account the impact of restructuring activities on the unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company is in the process of amending, on the same basis, the agreement for the Senior US unsecured notes. If the amendments are not obtained for the Senior US unsecured notes, it is the Company’s intention to use the unsecured revolving credit facility to repurchase the notes.

7. Restructuring costs related to specific items

On March 29, 2006, the Company announced a restructuring plan that impacted approximately 1,000 members located primarily in Montreal and Toronto, of which more than half are related to lower than expected BCE (a shareholder) work volumes. Six hundred of the total headcount reductions were effective as of March 31, 2006, and the remainder will be completed by the end of the year. The acceleration and expansion of CGI’s Global Delivery Model will partially offset the headcount reductions by creating some 400 new jobs throughout its network. Under the terms of the contract agreement signed on December 16, 2005, BCE will share in severance costs with a maximum contribution capped at $10,000,000 for severance costs applicable to headcounts reductions exceeding 100 positions.

Total amount to be incurred as a result of this restructuring plan will approximate $90,000,000, of which $57,000,000 will be for severance and $33,000,000 forconsolidation and closure of facilities.

The following table shows details of restructuring costs related to specific items recorded in the statement of earnings during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006:

10. Guarantees

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has no reason to believe that the disposition of any such current matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or the ability to carry on any of its business activities.

Sale of assets and business divestitures

In connection with sale of assets and business divestitures, the Company may be required to pay counterparties for costs and losses incurred as the result of breaches in representations and warranties, intellectual property right infringement and litigation against counterparties. While some of the agreements specify a maximum potential exposure of approximately $108,500,000 in total, many do not specify a maximum amount or limited period. It is impossible to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that may have to be paid under such guarantees. The amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated balance sheets relating to this type of indemnification as at March 31, 2006. The Company does not expect to incur any potential payment in connection with these guarantees which will have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

U.S. Government contracts

The Company is engaged to provide services under contracts with the U.S. Government. The contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Company’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. Generally, the Government has the right to change the scope of, or terminate, these projects at its convenience. The termination or a reduction in the scope of a major government project could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Other transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with bid bonds and financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of the bid bonds if the Company refuses to perform the project once the bid is awarded and for the financial performance guarantees, in the event of default in the performance of its obligations, the probability of which is remote in management’s opinion. As at March 31, 2006, the Company has US$90,550,000 and $9,973,000 outstanding bid bonds and surety bonds relating to these guarantees. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In addition, the Company provides a guarantee of $5,900,000 of the residual value of a leased property, accounted for as an operating lease, at the expiration of the lease term.

Under US GAAP, the Statement of Financial Accounting Board No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the modified prospective application of the recommendation of the Statement effective October 1, 2005. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
