Details of Acquisition

2.1	Nature of Business Acquired

In this business acquisition report, all dollar amounts are expressed in US dollars, except as otherwise noted.

Astellia is a publicly traded company on the NYSE Euronext Paris stock exchange. Astellia is a provider of network and subscriber intelligence enabling mobile operators to drive service quality, maximize operational efficiency, reduce churn and increase revenue. Its vendor-independent, real-time monitoring and troubleshooting solution is used to optimize networks end-to-end from radio to core.

2.2	Date of Acquisition

January 26, 2018

2.3	Consideration

The details of the acquisition of Astellia and the consideration paid are disclosed in note 3 to the company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2018 filed with the Canadian securities commissions on April 11, 2018.

The company financed the cash consideration of this acquisition from existing cash and existing revolving credit facilities of CA$70,000,000 (approximately $54,300,000), which were concluded on December 21, 2017.

2.4	Effect on Financial Position

The acquisition of Astellia was accounted for by applying the acquisition method as required by IFRS 3, "Business Combinations", and the requirements of IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements". The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on management's preliminary estimate of their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Other than the resulting impact of the acquisition on the company's consolidated balance sheet and statement of earnings, the company does not foresee, as a result of this acquisition, any material changes in its business affairs or the affairs of the acquired business which may have a significant effect on the results of operations and financial position of the company.

2.5	Prior Valuations

On September 11, 2017, pursuant to article 261-1 1 of the Règlement général de l'AMF, the Board of Directors of Astellia appointed an independent valuation expert, Associés en Finance, to determine the fairness of the public tender offer made by EXFO to acquire Astellia's share at a price of €10 per share.

On November 27, 2017, Associés en Finance, determined that the public tender offer made by EXFO at €10 per share was fair. Associés en Finance used a market approach that relied on valuation multiples and recent transactions for comparable assets or businesses, within the same industry, as well as discounted cash flows to support its assessment.

2.6	Parties to Transaction

The acquisition of Astellia was not a transaction with an informed person, associate or affiliate of the company.

2.7	Date of Report

April 26, 2018

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings

(in US dollars, except as otherwise noted)

1	Acquisition of Astellia

On January 26, 2018, the company acquired, by way of a public tender offer, 1,245,209 shares of Astellia S.A. ("Astellia"), at a purchase price of €10 per share for a total cash consideration of €12,452,090 (US$15,476,900), which brought the company's total investment in Astellia to 88.4% and provided the company with control over Astellia. Prior to this acquisition, the company held 40.3% of Astellia's shares. Over the month of February 2018, the company gained control over the remaining shares of Astellia

2	Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings of EXFO Inc. ("the company" or "EXFO") have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of Astellia. In the opinion of management, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2017 and for the six months ended February 28, 2018, include all significant adjustments necessary for the presentation of the acquisition on a basis consistent with the company's accounting policies applied in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2017 and for the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information, estimates and certain assumptions that the company believes are reasonable and are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2017 has been prepared by the management of EXFO as if the acquisition had occurred on September 1, 2016. Due to the different fiscal-year periods, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2017 combines the audited consolidated statement of earnings of EXFO for the year ended August 31, 2017 and the constructed unaudited consolidated statement of earnings of Astellia for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018 has been prepared by the management of EXFO as if the acquisition had occurred on September 1, 2016. Due to the different fiscal-year periods, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018 combines the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of earnings of EXFO for the six months ended February 28, 2018, and a constructed unaudited consolidated statement of earnings of Astellia, that includes the unaudited consolidated statement of earnings of Astellia for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and that eliminates Astellia's results for the one-month contribution (February 2018), already included in EXFO's unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

Astellia's consolidated financial statements used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2017 and for the six months ended February 28, 2018, have been prepared in accordance with accounting rules and principles used in France (regulation 99-02 issued by the Comité de Réglementation Comptable / French Accounting Regulations Committee, referred to herein as "French GAAP"). Accordingly, management has also considered adjustments to conform with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board. The adjustments made mainly related to differences in revenue recognition of multiple-deliverable sales arrangements and in the accounting for development expenses. The nature of these adjustments is further described in a supplemental audited note to the audited consolidated financial statements of Astellia for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is included in this Business Acquisition Report. No additional adjustments were made to comply with the company's accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma statements of earnings are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company's actual performance would have been had the transaction occurred on the dates indicated and do not purport to indicate results of operations as of any future period.

3 Significant Assumptions and Adjustments

(i)

The unaudited consolidated statement of earnings of Astellia for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 has been translated into US dollars at an average rate of €1.00 = US$1.0851 for that period; the unaudited consolidated statement of earnings of Astellia for the six months ended December 31, 2017 has been translated into US dollars at an average rate of €1.00 = US$1.1749 for that period.

(ii)

The acquisition of Astellia was accounted for by applying the acquisition method as required by IFRS 3, "Business Combinations", and the requirements of IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements". In the preparation of these unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings, the purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to the fair value of the net assets acquired, based on management best estimates and considering all relevant information available at the time these statements were prepared. Upon the completion of the purchase price allocation, actual amounts for the fair values of the net assets acquired could differ materially from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities susceptible to change upon the finalization of the purchase price allocation mainly consist of accounts receivable, intangible assets, goodwill, deferred revenue and deferred income taxes.

(iii)

The fair value of acquired intangible assets is estimated to be $15,000,000 based on management's preliminary estimate of fair value. Acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of one to five years.

(iv)

Prior to the acquisition of Astellia on January 26, 2018, the company's investment in Astellia was accounted for under the equity method as required by IAS 28, "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures". Therefore, the company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018 included the company's share of Astellia's net results prior to the acquisition in the amount of $2,079,800. In addition, at the acquisition date, the carrying value of the interest in Astellia held prior to the business combination was re-measured at fair value, that is, €10 per share, and was deemed to have been disposed of on that date. This acquisition-date re-measurement and deemed disposal resulted in a gain of $2,079,800 that was accounted for in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018. These amounts were eliminated for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

(v)

On January 26, 2018, the company's total interest in Astellia amounted to 88.4% and the non-controlling interest amounted to 11.6% of Astellia's share capital. However, over the month of February 2018, the company gained control over the remaining shares of Astellia. The company's unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended August 31, 2017 and the six months ended February 28, 2018 have been prepared assuming the company had full control over the shares of Astellia. Consequently, an adjustment was included in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended February 28, 2018 to eliminate the non-controlling interest in Astellia's net results for that period.

Statutory auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements

To the Annual General Meeting of Astellia,

Opinion

In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Astellia for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017 and of the results of its operations for the year ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

§	Audit Framework

We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

§	Independence

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules applicable to us, for the period from January 1, 2017 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors.

Justification of Assessments

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the assessments that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements.

Paragraph 4 to the consolidated financial statements presents the accounting policies related to the elements as follows:

§	research and development costs (4.2.1);

§	Business amortization (4.2.3);

§	Evaluation of provisions for risks and charges (4.11) including provisions for retirement bonuses (4.11.2).

Our work consisted in analyzing the data used, to assess the hypothesis adopted, to review the calculations performed and to assess that Paragraph 4 to the consolidated financial statements has provided the required information. As part or our work, we made sure that this evaluation was correct.

Verification of the Information Pertaining to the Group Presented in the Management Report

As required by law, we have also verified in accordance with professional standards applicable in France the information pertaining to the Group presented in the Board of Directors' management report.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated financial statements.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.

Astellia

Year ended December 31, 2017

Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As specified in Article L.823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit and furthermore:

Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

§	Obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose or expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

§	Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management in the consolidated financial statements.

Assesses the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein.

§	Evaluates the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and assesses whether these statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Astellia

Year ended December 31, 2017

Obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The statutory auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the consolidated financial statements and for the opinion expressed on these consolidated financial statements.

3.	Basis of accounting, principles of consolidation, policies and measurement rules

3.1.	Basis of accounting

The financial statements of Astellia Group have been prepared in accordance with French accounting rules and principles. The provisions of Regulation No. 99.02 of the “Comité de Réglementation Comptable”, approved on June 22, 1999, have been applied since January 1, 2000, as well as those of Regulation CRC 2005-10, dated 26/12/2005, which updated those provisions.

The principles and policies applied by Astellia Group are described in sections 3.2 and following.

3.2.	Principles of consolidation

3.2.1.

Consolidation methods

Consolidation is based on the financial statements as at 31/12/2017. All material interests in entities over which the Astellia Group companies exercise, directly or indirectly, exclusive control are consolidated using the full consolidation method.

Companies over which joint control is exercised are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method.

Companies over which Astellia Group exercises a significant influence and holds, directly or indirectly, an ownership interest of more than 20% are accounted for under the equity method.

All significant transactions between consolidated companies are eliminated.

The full consolidation method involves:

—	including in the financial statements of the consolidating entity the financial statement items of the consolidated entities, after any restatements;

—	allocating equity and net income between the interests of the consolidating entity and the interests of other shareholders or partners, called “non-controlling interests”;

—	eliminating the transactions and accounts between the fully consolidated entity and the other consolidated entities.

The proportionate consolidation method involves:

—	including in the financial statements of the consolidating entity the proportionate share representing its interests in the financial statements of the consolidated entity, after any restatements; no non-controlling interests are therefore recognized;

—	eliminating the transactions and accounts between the proportionately consolidated entity and the other consolidated entities to the extent of the percentage used to include the proportionately consolidated entity.

Consolidated Financial Statements – Year ended 31/12/2017

The equity method involves:

—	replacing the carrying amount of the securities held with the proportionate share of equity, including net income for the year determined using the consolidation rules;

—	eliminating the integrated internal profits between the equity-accounted entity and the other consolidated entities to the extent of the ownership percentage in the equity-accounted entity.

3.2.2.

Elimination of intercompany transactions

In accordance with regulations, transactions between consolidated companies and internal income (loss) between these companies were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

3.2.3.

Translation of foreign companies financial statements

As the subsidiaries of SA Astellia are self-sustaining foreign operations, their financial statements have been translated using the current rate method:

Balance sheet items are translated into euros using the closing rate;

Statement of income items are translated using the average rate for the year;

The translation difference obtained is included in consolidated equity, under “Foreign currency translation reserve”. The following table presents a breakdown of that account.

Foreign currency translation reserve Company	Currency	Foreign currency translation reserve related to equity, opening balance			Change in foreign currency translation reserve related to equity			Foreign currency translation reserve related to equity, ending balance			Translation difference related to net income (loss)			Total foreign currency translation reserve

3.3.3.

Measurement of assets and liabilities

Current income (loss) results from the activities in which the Company engages in the normal course of its business and any related activities that it carries out on an ancillary basis or as an extension of its ordinary activities.

Unusual income (loss) results from events or transactions that are unusual and distinct from the ordinary activities and are not expected to recur frequently and regularly.

3.3.5.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share represents consolidated net income (group’s share) divided by the weighted average number of shares of the parent company outstanding during the year (excluding treasury shares deducted from equity).

The CETC was used to partially finance investments.

Since the implementation of the new ERP, invoices related to contracts with clients are considered as partial invoices, called milestone invoices.

Milestone billing represents the billing terms and conditions negotiated with customers and does not reflect the percentage of completion of work. Sales are therefore recognized through unbilled receivables.

As at December 31, 2017, unbilled receivables and corresponding deposits are set off in the financial statements.

Amounts reported on the balance sheet are as follows:

Advances and deposits received on orders in progress	Amount

5.1.	Sales by company

The contribution to external sales is as follows

Sales	31/12/2017		31/12/2016
Astellia S.A.		36,175		44,775
Astellia Inc.		166		185
Astellia Telecom		0		57
Astellia Telecom Spain		1,520		3,309
Astellia Canada Inc		713		554
Total		38,574		48,880

The Company recognizes sales when the customer has effective control over the goods delivered by the Company, which is when such goods have been put into operation. This recognition method tends to increase “Deferred revenues” on the balance sheet at year-end, as some customers wish to be billed before the end of the year, usually for internal budget reasons, while the Company has not yet recognized the related sales.

The principle applied by the Company is to recognize sales only when performance is entirely achieved with certainty. For training or service activities, applying this principle leads to recognizing sales when it is determined that performance is really achieved, which is when the training session has been completed or the service has been rendered.

For maintenance contracts that are billed at the beginning of the period, the amount is recognized as sales on a time-proportion basis over the year.

Software is sold under the form of a definitive license, and sales are recognized when the software is delivered if it is installed by the customer or when the software is put into operation if it is installed by the Company.

On April 11, 2017 and on April 18, 2018, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Astellia S.A (Astellia or the company) as at December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the consolidated statements of earnings, the consolidated statements of cash flows, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended which are included in the Business Acquisition Report (BAR) of EXFO Inc.

In connection with our audit of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the related supplemental note entitled "French GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards Reconciliation" included in the BAR. This supplemental note is the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this supplemental note based on our audit.

In our opinion, such supplemental note, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
