RE: ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Plan”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 2006 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic 2006 financial statements as a whole.

PROQUEST PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General: The Plan, which covered 2,744 and 3,056 participants at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time and certain part-time employees of ProQuest Company (“ProQuest”; “the Company”). The plan covered employees of National Archive Publishing Company (“NAPC”) and OEConnection, LLC (“OEC”) (collectively referred to as the “Companies”) prior to their withdrawal from the Plan in 2006. NAPC was spun off from ProQuest effective October 28, 2005 at which time it adopted the Plan as an unrelated employer. Effective December 31, 2005, the ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan Master Trust (“Master Trust”), which included the assets of the Plan and the OEConnection, LLC retirement plan, was eliminated and the OEConnection, LLC retirement plan was merged into the Plan. OEC was a joint venture that was entered into on July 1, 2001 between ProQuest and three other members.

Effective March 9, 2006, the ProQuest Stock Fund was frozen to new investments.

Effective November 28, 2006, ProQuest sold ProQuest Business Solutions (“PBS”) to Snap-on Incorporated and PBS employees participation in the Plan ended as of that date.

Effective March 1, 2006, NAPC employees were no longer allowed to participate in the Plan. NAPC established its own defined contribution plan and during 2006, all assets and liabilities attributable to NAPC employees were transferred out of the Plan. The total amount transferred out of the Plan was $23,256,500.

Effective August 17, 2006, OEC employees were no longer allowed to participate in the Plan. OEC established its own defined contribution plan and during 2006, all assets and liabilities attributable to OEC employees were transferred out of the Plan. The total amount transferred out of the Plan was $3,834,748.

On February 4, 2005, ProQuest purchased Voyager Expanded Learning, Inc., and in August of 2005, the Voyager Expanded Learning 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“Voyager Plan”) was merged into the Plan, resulting in a transfer into the Plan of $4,022,860 in net assets of the Voyager Plan.

Employees are immediately eligible to participate in the Plan and may join or elect deferral percentage or investment election changes on any business day, effective at the next payroll processing date. The Plan is participant directed, and, therefore, participants are allowed to select the investment funds to which they wish to contribute. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

PROQUEST PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)

 

Contributions: Participants electing to make contributions to the Plan may contribute not less than 1% and no more than 50% of compensation. Contributions are limited in accordance with IRS regulations. Participants may allocate their contributions among the Plan’s funds, including 19 funds offered through Fidelity Investments, a party-in-interest investment, and the ProQuest Company Stock Fund (prior to March 9, 2006), also a party-in-interest to the plan. Participants who were employees of OEC or NAPC were not permitted to invest in the ProQuest Company Stock Fund.

For 2006, ProQuest contributed 1% of eligible participants’ annual compensation and an additional 1% to 2% based on the level of employee contributions. For 2005, ProQuest and NAPC contributed 1% of eligible participants’ annual compensation and an additional 1% to 2% based on the level of employee contributions. For 2005, OEC contributed 1% to 4% of eligible participants’ compensation based on the level of employee contributions. Additional amounts may be contributed at the option of the Company’s board of directors. No such additional amounts were contributed to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005.

Participant Accounts: Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and an allocation of the Company contribution and plan earnings. Gains and losses resulting from market appreciation or depreciation, interest, and dividends are allocated on the basis of participants’ account balances.

Vesting: Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the Company contributions, as well as any investment earnings on these contributions.

Payment of Benefits: Upon termination of employment with the Companies or other specified events, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant’s interest in his or her account in either a lump-sum amount or in installments.

Participant Loans: Participants can borrow up to $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, subject to IRS limitations. Principal and interest are generally repaid through payroll deductions. The interest rate for participant loans is equal to the prime rate plus 1%, which was 8.25% and 7.25% as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements include the accounts of the ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

December 31, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard: The Plan retroactively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by the Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (“the FSP”) in 2006. Pursuant to the adoption of the FSP, fully benefit-responsive investment contracts held directly by the Plan or included in the underlying investments of common collective trust funds in which the Plan holds an interest are to be presented at fair value. In addition, any material difference between the fair value of these investments and their contract value is to be presented as a separate adjustment line in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits. The adoption of the FSP had no impact on the net asset available for plan benefits as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. The net appreciation reported in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits was also not impacted by the adoption of the FSP, as the amounts reflect the contract value of fully benefit responsive contracts held directly or indirectly by the Plan.

Adoption of the FSP resulted in a decrease of $705,355 from the amount previously reported as Plan investments in the 2005 statement of net assets available for plan benefits, since this amount now reflects the fair value of the plan’s indirect interests in fully benefit-responsive contracts. The decrease in the amount reported for Plan investments as of December 31, 2005 is completely offset by an adjustment which increases net assets reflecting investments at fair value to net assets available for plan benefits.

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition: On December 31, 2006, the Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Prior to December 31, 2005, the Plan’s investment assets other than participant loans were held in a Master Trust (refer to Note 5) which held mutual funds, common stock of ProQuest Company, a money market fund, and a common collective trust fund. On December 31, 2005, the Master Trust was eliminated, and the Plan’s investments held in trust were stated at fair value (refer to Note 6).

Quoted market prices are used to value shares of mutual funds and common stocks traded on a national exchange. The fair values of the Plan’s interests in stable value funds are based upon the net asset values of such funds reflecting all investments at fair value, including direct and indirect interests in fully benefit-responsive contracts, as reported by the Plan trustee. The fair

values of the fully benefit responsive investment contract has been estimated with a discounted cash flows methodology, utilizing current rates of return available for similar contracts, with comparable credit risks, as of the respective financial statement dates. Money market fund investments and participant loans are reported at cost which approximates fair value.

Net assets available for plan benefits reflects the Plan’s interest in the contract value of the Managed Income Portfolio II Fund , because the Plan’s allocable share of the difference between fair value and contract value for this investment is presented as a separate adjustment in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

The fair value of the Plan’s investments is based on the beginning-of-the-year value of the Plan’s investments plus actual contributions (including transfers from other plans) and allocated investment income (loss), less actual distributions and allocated administrative expenses.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest and dividend income on investments is recognized as earned.

Risks and Uncertainties: The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of ProQuest Common Stock, a common/collective fund, a privately managed equity fund, mutual funds, or a money market fund. The underlying investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

Contributions: The Company contributed $2,718,621 to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the Company and NAPC contributed $2,960,435 to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2005. These contributions were calculated in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The participant contributions and rollovers totaled $9,825,389 and $11,483,509 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Payment of Benefits: Benefit distributions are recorded when paid.

Administrative Costs: Investment manager fees are offset against earnings on the related investments and allocated to participants. Participants were charged administrative fees, primarily for loan administration, of $22,490 and $27,680 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The privately managed stock portfolio incurred management and administrative fees of $109,501 in 2006. ProQuest Company paid certain other administrative expenses of the Plan.

NOTE 3 – TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated July 22, 2003 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The related trust is, therefore, exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and that the related trust is exempt from income taxes. In January 2007, the Plan filed for a new letter of determination with the Internal Revenue Service.

The Plan’s investments were held in the ProQuest Profit Sharing Retirement Plan Master Trust (Master Trust) during the plan year ended December 31, 2005, which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and the OEConnection, LLC retirement plan.

The Plan’s interest in the Master Trust income was $13,142,247 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Investment income and administrative expenses were allocated to the participating plans based on the activity in the individual participant accounts of the two participating plans.

NOTE 9 – PARTIES IN INTEREST

Parties-in-interest are defined under Department of Labor regulations as any fiduciary of the Plan, any party rendering services to the Plan, the Company and certain others. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, certain investments of the Plan were held in investment funds which were managed by Fidelity, the trustee of the Plan.
