Explanatory Note

AbitibiBowater Inc. is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2009 to correct certain cross-references and to add a table that was omitted from Exhibit 99.2.

ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

AbitibiBowater Inc. (the “Company”) announced on December 9, 2009 that on that date its direct subsidiary Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. (“ACI”) entered into a CAN$230 million ($218 million) Super Priority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Facility (the “ULC DIP Facility”) with 3239432 Nova Scotia Company, a wholly-owned unlimited liability company subsidiary of the Company (the “ULC”). This agreement follows the sale by ACI’s direct subsidiary Abitibi-Consolidated Company of Canada (“ACCC”) of its 60% interest in Manicouagan Power Company (“MPCo”) and the resulting repayment of all amounts outstanding under, and termination of, the US$100 Million Superpriority Senior Secured Debtor In Possession Credit Facility dated May 6, 2009 among ACI, Donohue Corp. and Bank of Montreal, guaranteed by Investissement Québec (as amended, the “ACI DIP Facility”), as more fully described in “Closing of MPCo Sale” under Item 8.01 below and incorporated herein by reference.

CAN$130 million ($123 million) of the ULC DIP Facility was drawn at closing pursuant to the Superior Court of Québec’s (the “Canadian Court”) November 16, 2009 order (restated on November 23, 2009) approving the ULC DIP Facility and the distribution of certain proceeds from the sale of MPCo, which the Canadian Court granted in connection with the creditor protection proceedings of certain of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries (including ACI and ACCC) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the “CCAA”). Subsequent draws of up to CAN$50 million ($47 million) in the aggregate will be advanced upon five business days’ notice, subject to meeting certain draw down requirements and to certain conditions determined by the Canadian Court, and the remaining CAN$50 million ($47 million) will become available only upon further order of the Canadian Court. Loans made under the ULC DIP Facility will bear no interest, except in the case of an overdue payment.

The proceeds of the loans will be used by ACI and certain of its subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of the ACI DIP Facility, costs of the creditor protection proceedings under the CCAA and fees and expenses associated with the ULC DIP Facility.

ACI’s obligations under the ULC DIP Facility are guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries and secured by super-priority liens on all present and after-acquired property of ACI and its subsidiary guarantors, but subordinate to: (i) an administrative charge not exceeding CAN$6 million ($5.7 million) of professional fees and disbursements in connection with the proceedings under the CCAA; (ii) a directors’ charge not exceeding CAN$22.5 million ($21.3 million) and (iii) the CDN$140 million ($114 million) charge granted by the Canadian Court in connection with the ACI DIP Facility (but only to the extent of the subrogation rights of certain secured creditors of ACI, estimated to be in an aggregate amount of approximately CAN$40 million ($38 million)).

All loans advanced under the ULC DIP Facility are to be repaid in full, and the ULC DIP Facility will terminate, on the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2010, (ii) the effective date of a plan of reorganization for the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the creditor protection proceedings under the CCAA and Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, and (iii) the acceleration of the ULC DIP Facility or the occurrence of an event of default. Loans must be prepaid to the extent the ULC does not have sufficient funds to make a guarantee payment (as further described in “Closing of MPCo Sale” under Item 8.01 below); as of the date of closing, the ULC maintained an approximately CAN$52 million ($49 million) reserve for this purpose.

2

The ULC DIP Facility contains usual and customary events of default and covenants for debtor in possession financings of this type, including among other things, the obligation for Abitibi to provide a weekly cash flow forecast and certain monthly financial information.

The ULC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACCC and was created pursuant to the MPCo transaction documents to secure certain payment and indemnification obligations of ACI, ACCC and the ULC in favor of Alcoa Ltd. and related parties thereunder, as further described in “Closing of MPCo Sale” under Item 8.01 below.

A copy of the ULC DIP Facility is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. This description of the ULC DIP Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. U.S. dollar figures in the foregoing description assume an exchange rate of CAN$1.00 equal to $0.9477, the Bank of Canada daily noon rate on the day of closing.

ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF THE REGISTRANT

The information provided pursuant to Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the ULC DIP Facility is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

Closing of MPCo Sale

AbitibiBowater Inc. (the “Company”) announced on December 9, 2009 the closing on that date of the previously disclosed series of transactions resulting in the sale by its indirect subsidiary Abitibi-Consolidated Company of Canada (“ACCC”) to HQ Manicouagan Inc., a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, of ACCC’s 60% interest in the Manicouagan Power Company (“MPCo”). The remaining 40% was held by Alcoa Canada Ltd. (collectively with certain affiliates, “Alcoa”). Until its wind-up and the transfer of its assets and liabilities (subject to certain exclusions) in connection with these transactions, MPCo owned and operated the 335MW McCormick hydroelectric facility on the Manicouagan River in the Province of Québec. Alcoa maintains a corresponding 40% interest in the new entity created to operate the hydroelectric facility.

The Company applied the CAN$615 million ($583 million) gross cash proceeds from the sale in the manner specified in orders of Superior Court of Québec (the “Canadian Court”) related thereto, specifically:

• CAN$282 million ($267 million) was set aside temporarily in 3239432 Nova Scotia Company, a wholly-owned unlimited liability subsidiary of the Company (the “ULC”), to secure certain indemnities and undertakings provided to Alcoa in the transaction documents, and the ULC entered into a guarantee agreement with Alcoa for this purpose;

• CAN$58 million ($55 million) (CAN$27 million ($26 million) of which from proceeds of the ULC DIP Facility, as defined under Item 1.01 above) was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the US$100 Million Superpriority Senior Secured Debtor In Possession Credit Facility dated May 6, 2009 among Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. (“ACI”), Donohue Corp. and Bank of Montreal, guaranteed by Investissement Québec, as amended;

• CAN$200 million ($190 million) was used as a partial repayment of ACCC’s 13.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2011;

• approximately CAN$71 million ($67 million) was used to pay taxes incurred by Alcoa and its affiliates as a result of the transaction, ACCC’s estimated transaction costs, pre-filing amounts owed to the distribution division of Hydro-Québec by ACCC and its affiliates, including amounts owed by Bowater Canadian Forest Products Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as pre-filing amounts owed to MPCo and Alcoa for electricity purchased by ACCC from MPCo and to make certain other adjustments contemplated by the acquisition agreement; and

• approximately CAN$31 million ($29 million) is subject to a two-year holdback by HQ Manicouagan Inc. (and guaranteed by Hydro-Québec).

The effect of this series of transactions is to provide ACI and its subsidiaries with additional net liquidity of approximately CAN$168 million ($159 million). In connection with the foregoing, the Company has also entered into a power supply agreement with Hydro-Québec’s distribution division for the supply of electricity to the Company’s Baie-Comeau, Québec paper mill.

U.S. dollar figures in the foregoing description assume an exchange rate of CAN$1.00 equal to $0.9477, the Bank of Canada daily noon rate on the day of closing. There is no material relationship between Hydro-Québec and any of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company, or any of their associates.

Monitor’s Report

On December 9, 2009, Ernst & Young Inc. (“E&Y”), as Monitor, filed a report (the “Monitor’s Report”) with the Superior Court of Québec (the “Canadian Court”) in connection with the creditor protection proceedings previously instituted by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of AbitibiBowater Inc. (the “Company”), namely Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, and Bowater Canadian Holdings Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Canadian Petitioners”), under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada). The purpose of the Monitor’s Report is to provide the Canadian Court with a report on: (A) the five week cash flow results of the Canadian Petitioners for the period from October 19, 2009 to November 22, 2009 and to provide details on: (i) an update regarding the overview of the current market conditions in the forest products industry provided in the twentieth report of the Monitor dated November 4, 2009, (ii) the receipts and disbursements of Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. and its subsidiaries and Bowater Canadian Forest Products Inc. for the reporting period, with a discussion of the variances from the respective forecasts set forth in the twentieth report of the Monitor, (iii) the current liquidity and revised cash flow forecasts of Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. and its subsidiaries and Bowater Canadian Forest Products Inc. for the

4

17-week period ending March 21, 2010 and (iv) an update with respect to certain key performance indicators, and (B) an update on an agreement between ACH Limited Partnership (an indirect subsidiary in which the Company holds a 75% interest) and the Ontario Power Authority with respect to the price ACH Limited Partnership is to receive for power sold to the Ontario Power Authority. A copy of the Monitor’s Report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Monitor’s Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of the Canadian Petitioners’ compliance with the monthly reporting requirements of the Canadian Court. The financial information in the Monitor’s Report has not been audited, reviewed or otherwise verified for accuracy or completeness by E&Y. Some of the information referred to in the Monitor’s Report consists of forecasts and projections.

Readers are cautioned that, since these projections are based upon assumptions about future events and conditions, the actual results will vary from the projections, even if the assumptions materialize, and the variations could be significant. The Monitor’s Report is in a format required by the Canadian Court and should not be used for investment purposes.

1. On April 17, 2009, Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. (“ACI”) and its subsidiaries listed in Appendix “A” hereto (collectively with ACI, the “ACI Petitioners”) and Bowater Canadian Holdings Incorporated (“BCHI”) and its subsidiaries listed in Appendix “B” hereto (collectively with BCHI, the “Bowater Petitioners”) (the ACI Petitioners and the Bowater Petitioners are collectively referred to herein as the “Petitioners”) filed for and obtained protection from their creditors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA” and the “CCAA Proceedings”) pursuant to an Order of this Honourable Court, as amended on May 6, 2009 (the “Initial Order”). Pursuant to an Order of this Honourable Court dated November 10, 2009, Abitibi-Consolidated (U.K.) Inc., a subsidiary of ACI, was added to the list of the ACI Petitioners.

2. Pursuant to the Initial Order, Ernst & Young Inc. (“EYI”) was appointed as monitor of the Petitioners (the “Monitor”) under the CCAA and a stay of proceedings in favour of the Petitioners was granted until May 14, 2009 (the “Stay Period”). The Stay Period has been subsequently extended to December 15, 2009 pursuant to further Orders of this Honourable Court.

3. On April 16, 2009, AbitibiBowater Inc. (“ABH”), Bowater Inc.

(the “U.S. Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Court”).

4. The Petitioners are all subsidiaries of ABH (ABH, collectively with its subsidiaries, are referred to as the “ABH Group”).

- 2 -

5. On April 17, 2009, ABH and the petitioners listed on Appendix “C” hereto (collectively with ABH, the “18.6 Petitioners”) obtained Orders under Section 18.6 of the CCAA in respect of voluntary proceedings initiated under Chapter 11 and EYI was appointed as the information officer in respect of the 18.6 Petitioners.

6. On April 16, 2009, ACI and ACCC filed petitions for recognition under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On April 21, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court granted the recognition orders under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The ABH Group owns interests in or operates pulp and paper facilities, wood products facilities and recycling facilities located in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and South Korea.

9. Incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, ABH functions as a holding company and its business is conducted principally through four direct subsidiaries: BI, Bowater Newsprint South LLC (“Newsprint South”) (BI, Newsprint South and their respective subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “BI Group”), ACI (ACI and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “ACI Group”) and AbitibiBowater US Holding LLC (“ABUSH”) (ABUSH and its respective subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “DCorp Group”).

- 3 -

10. ACI is a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ABH. ABH wholly owns BI which in turn, wholly owns BCHI which, in turn, indirectly owns BCFPI which carries on the main Canadian operations of BI.

11. ACCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACI, and BCFPI hold the majority of ABH’s Canadian assets and operations.

PURPOSE

12. This is the twenty-fifth report of the Monitor (the “Twenty-Fifth Report”) in these CCAA Proceedings, the purpose of which is to report to this Honourable Court with respect to the following:

(i) the Petitioners’ five-week cash flow results for the period from October 19, 2009 to November 22, 2009 (the “Reporting Period”), in accordance with the first stay extension order of this Honourable Court (the “First Stay Extension Order”), and to provide details with respect to the following:

(a) an update regarding the overview of the current market conditions in the forest products industry provided in the twentieth report of the Monitor dated November 4, 2009 (the “Twentieth Report”);

(b) the receipts and disbursements of the ACI Group and BCFPI for the Reporting Period with a discussion of the variances from the respective forecasts (the “ACI Forecast” and the “BCFPI Forecast”) set forth in the Twentieth Report;

(c) the current liquidity and revised cash flow forecasts of the ACI Group and BCFPI for the 17-week period ending March 21, 2010;

(d) an update with respect to certain key performance indicators (“KPIs”); and

- 4 -

(ii) an update on an agreement between ACH LP (“ACH”), which is a non-filed subsidiary of ACCC, and the Ontario Power Authority (the “OPA”) guaranteeing the price ACH is to receive for power sold to the OPA (the “ACH Power Purchase Agreement”).

TERMS OF REFERENCE

13. In preparing this Twenty-Fifth Report, the Monitor has been provided with and, in making comments herein, has relied upon unaudited financial information, the ABH Group’s books and records, financial information and projections prepared by the ABH Group and discussions with management of the ABH Group (the “Management”). The Monitor has not audited, reviewed or otherwise attempted to verify the accuracy or completeness of such information and, accordingly, the Monitor expresses no opinion or other form of assurance in respect of such information contained in this Twenty-Fifth Report. Some of the information referred to in this Twenty-Fifth Report consists of forecasts and projections. An examination or review of the financial forecast and projections, as outlined in the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook, has not been performed. Future-oriented financial information referred to in this Twenty-Fifth Report was prepared by the ABH Group based on Management’s estimates and assumptions. Readers are cautioned that, since these projections are based upon assumptions about future events and conditions, the actual results will vary from the projections, even if the assumptions materialize, and the variations could be significant.

14. Capitalized terms not defined in this Twenty-Fifth Report are as defined in the previous reports of the Monitor and the Initial Order. All references to dollars are in U.S. currency and are translated at a rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.90 unless otherwise noted.

- 5 -

15. Copies of all of the Monitor’s Reports, in both English and French, including a copy of this Twenty-Fifth Report, and all motion records and Orders in the CCAA Proceedings will be available on the Monitor’s website at www.ey.com/ca/abitibibowater. The Monitor has also established a bilingual toll-free telephone number that is referenced on the Monitor’s website so that parties may contact the Monitor if they have questions with respect to the CCAA Proceedings.

16. Copies of all of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s orders are posted on the website for Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LCC (“Epiq”) at http://chapter11.epiqsystems.com/abitibibowater. The Monitor has included a link to Epiq’s website from the Monitor’s website.

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS IN THE FOREST PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

17. Pursuant to the First Stay Extension Order, the Monitor has provided this Honourable Court with regular reports on the Petitioners’ cash flows for each four-week period following the date of the First Stay Extension Order. These regular reports have included details with respect to the market conditions in the forest products industry.

18. While the forest products industry has faced significant challenges with respect to pricing and demand as indicated in previous reports of the Monitor, the Petitioners have advised the Monitor that the market has shown signs of rebounding.

19. As noted in previous reports of the Monitor, pricing in the North American newsprint market has been increasing over the last several months. According to a release on RISI.com on November 20, 2009 (the “RISI Report”), one of the Petitioners’ competitors, Kruger Inc. (“Kruger”), has announced a price increase of $25 per tonne for January and February, 2010. The Petitioners have advised the Monitor that they will also be increasing prices in two $25 per tonne

- 6 -

increments, which has also been reported by RISI.com. Such increases are effective January 1, 2010 and February 1, 2010 for customers in North America. The chart below from RISI.com details prices for newsprint over the last several months.

20. Despite recent price increases and the resulting cash flow impact, the debt rating for White Birch Paper Inc. (“White Birch”) was recently downgraded by Standard & Poors (“S&P”). S&P notes that the White Birch downgrade is primarily due to “elevated debt levels and continued weak market conditions for newsprint”.

21. Although not a significant producer of pulp, both BCFPI and the ACI Group produce pulp for sale to third parties. As noted in previous reports of the Monitor, the price for pulp has been increasing over the last several months. According to a report on RISI.com dated November 20, 2009, pulp prices have increased approximately $200 per tonne since April, 2009, as detailed in the graph from RISI.com below.

- 7 -

22. The Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry has recently announced that it has put into place a tender process to re-allocate cutting rights to Crown timberlands in Ontario that are currently not being used (the “Provincial Wood Supply Competitive Process”). The Provincial Wood Supply Competitive Process involves the possible cancellation of current Crown fibre supply agreements (some of which may be held by the Petitioners) and the re-bidding of such licenses.

RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS FROM OCTOBER 19, 2009 TO NOVEMBER 22, 2009 FOR THE ACI GROUP AND BCFPI

The ACI Group

23. The table below summarizes the ACI Group’s (including DCorp) actual receipts and disbursements for the Reporting Period, which is detailed in Appendix “E” of this Twenty-Fifth Report, with a comparison to the ACI Forecast amounts provided in the Twentieth Report.

24. As shown in the table above, the ACI Group’s total receipts for the Reporting Period, net of joint venture remittances, were approximately $39.0 million higher than projected in the ACI Forecast. Disbursements were $33.5 million higher than projected in the ACI Forecast and Financing cash flow was approximately $7.3 million greater than projected in the ACI Forecast. Overall, the ending cash balance and available liquidity were each approximately $12.7 million higher than the ACI Forecast.

Receipts

25. A breakdown of the receipts for the Reporting Period are outlined in the table below:

		$US 000
Receipts	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections	26(i)	$	214,113		$	212,052		$	2,061		1	%
Intercompany A/R Settlement	26(i)		43,551			—			43,551		N/A
Joint Venture Remittances, Net	26(i)		(19,574	)		(17,417	)		(2,157	)	(12	%)
Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures	26(ii)		3,804			20,466			(16,662	)	(81	%)
Net A/R Collections			241,894			215,101			26,793		12	%
Other Inflows	26(iii)		68,449			56,286			12,163		22	%
Total Receipts		$	310,343		$	271,387		$	38,956		14	%

26. The variance analysis has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents the more significant reasons for the variances:

(i) A/R Collections, inclusive of receipts related to Intercompany A/R Settlements, net Joint Venture Remittances, and Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures, were approximately $241.9 million during the Reporting Period compared to a forecast amount of $215.1 million resulting in a positive variance of approximately 12%.

Intercompany A/R Settlements represent payments to the ACI Group from an affiliated ABH Group entity for ACI Group accounts receivable that were collected by the affiliated entity, such as BI or BCFPI.

(ii) Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures totalled approximately $3.8 million during the Reporting Period. This amount represents amounts collected by the ACI Group for accounts receivable that belong to a joint venture partner. Such amounts will be paid to the joint venture partner on a monthly basis or in accordance with the joint venture agreement. The collections on behalf of joint ventures were $3.8 million for the Reporting Period as compared to a forecast amount of $20.5 million resulting in a negative variance of approximately $16.7 million.

This variance is partly due to the fact that certain portions of amounts collected on behalf of joint ventures are also included in the “A/R Collections” line and have not yet been specifically allocated to “Collections on Behalf of Joint Ventures” as these amounts are allocated on a monthly basis.

During the Reporting Period, disbursements related to Joint Venture Remittances totalled approximately $19.6 million resulting in a negative variance of $2.2 million. This is primarily due the remittance of funds to one of the ACI Group’s joint ventures, Donohue Malbaie, for funds received from customers of the Donohue Malbaie joint venture by the ACI Group. The chart below summarizes collections by the ACI Group from customers of its most significant joint venture partners (Augusta and Donohue Malbaie) and subsequent remittances to joint ventures since April 17, 2009:

	US$000
	Augusta		Donohue Malbaie		Total
Collections by the ACI Group	100,231		17,923		118,154
Remittances to JVs by the ACI Group	(96,454	)	(11,674	)	(108,128	)
	3,777		6,249		10,026

(iii) Other Inflows, which includes tax refunds and other miscellaneous receipts, totalled $68.4 million during the Reporting Period. The ACI Forecast included projected receipts of $56.3 million. The difference is primarily due to higher than forecast receipts related to road tax credits (approximately $2.3 million), receipts related to reforestation work (approximately $1.3 million) and receipts related to energy credits received from the Province of Ontario (approximately $1.3 million). The balance of this variance is due to a number of miscellaneous mill level deposits such as benefit reimbursements and tax refunds.

Disbursements

27. A breakdown of the disbursements related to Net Trade Disbursements for the Reporting Period is outlined below:

		$US 000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Trade Payables	28(i)	$	(168,079	)	$	(129,936	)	$	(38,143	)	(29	%)
Intercompany A/P Settlement	28(i)(b)		13,385			—			13,385		N/A
Payments on Behalf of Affiliates	28(ii)		(1,312	)		—			(1,312	)	N/A
Capital Expenditures	28(iii)		—			(7,637	)		7,637		100	%
Net Trade Disbursements		$	(156,006	)	$	(137,573	)	$	(18,433	)	(13	%)

28. The variance analysis with respect to the disbursements for the more significant variances has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the variances:

(i) Disbursements related to Trade Payables were approximately $168.1 million during the Reporting Period, which was $38.1 million greater than the ACI Forecast. Management has advised that the variance is primarily due to the following:

(a) Capital Expenditures have been included in the actual amount for Trade Payables disbursements until such time as the ACI Group identifies and allocates the disbursements which are capital in nature;

(b) the ACI Group regularly disburses amounts on behalf of other affiliated entities which are included in Trade Payables (as noted above, the ACI Group was reimbursed by affiliates for approximately $13.4 million of such amounts, detailed on the Intercompany A/P Settlements line, during the Reporting Period). The quantum of amounts disbursed on behalf of other entities is not known until such time as the Petitioners reconcile their intercompany accounts, which is done on a regular basis; and

- 12 -

(c) Production levels are higher (approximately 11% or 24,000 tonnes for the month of November) than forecast in the ACI Forecast which has necessitated increased investments in working capital to support the increased sales to customers.

(ii) Payments on Behalf of Affiliates represent amounts disbursed on behalf of ACH. Such amounts were reimbursed by ACH in the week ended November 29, 2009.

(iii) As noted above, Capital Expenditures are not tracked on a weekly basis. The disbursements related to capital disbursements have been included in the Trade Payables disbursement line. Management has advised the Monitor that capital expenditures for the month of October, 2009 totalled approximately $0.9 million.

29. The net disbursements related to intercompany collections are detailed in the chart below:

		$US 000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast		Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections - Affiliates	29(i)	$	16,621		$	—	$	16,621		N/A
Intercompany A/R Settlements	29(ii)		(33,511	)		—		(33,511	)	N/A
		$	(16,890	)	$	—	$	(16,890	)	N/A

(i) A/R Collections – Affiliates totalled approximately $16.6 million during the Reporting Period. As part of its normal Cash Management System, the ACI Group regularly collects accounts receivable on behalf of other ABH Group entities. As it is not possible to forecast which customers will incorrectly pay the ACI Group on behalf of the other entities, collections on behalf of affiliates are not forecast by the Petitioners. The funds are paid on a regular basis by the ACI Group to the appropriate ABH Group entity, which payments are reflected in the Intercompany A/R Settlements line of the “Intercompany” section of the cash flow statement. As discussed in the next section, an amount of approximately $33.5 million was paid out to affiliates during the Reporting Period by the ACI Group to reimburse affiliates for collections made on their behalf by the ACI Group.

- 13 -

(ii) The ACI Group does not forecast the disbursement of Intercompany A/R Settlements as it is not possible to predict which customers will pay the incorrect ABH Group entity for accounts receivable. The corresponding receipt of these amounts collected from affiliate customers is included in the A/R Collections – Affiliates line included in the “Intercompany” section of the cash flow statement.

(iii) The reason for the negative variance noted above is that certain accounts receivable are not identified as belonging to affiliated entities due to a delay in the receipt of remittance advices from customers. As remittance advices are received from customers the required funds are transferred to the relevant entity.

30. Disbursements related to “Other” items are summarized in the chart below:

		$US 000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Marine Freight Payments	30(i)	$	(8,128	)	$	(6,500	)	$	(1,628	)	(25	%)
Utility Payments	30(ii)		(28,025	)		(34,779	)		6,754		19	%
Payroll & Benefits	30(iii)		(49,846	)		(46,529	)		(3,317	)	(7	%)
Net Other Disbursements		$	(85,999	)	$	(87,808	)	$	1,809		2	%

(i) Marine Freight Payments totalled $8.1 million during the Reporting Period. This compares to an amount of $6.5 million in the ACI Forecast. The reason for this variance is due to an increase in international shipments that require the use of marine freight. As an example, international shipments between August and October increased by approximately 47%, necessitating greater use of Marine Freight during the Reporting Period.

- 14 -

(ii) Utility Payments were approximately $6.8 million less than forecast. Under the agreement the ACI Group has with its various power suppliers, it is required to pay a certain fixed amount on a weekly basis. The ACI Forecast contemplates that all such payments to utility suppliers will be made; however, based on monthly reconciliations of actual consumption, the relevant invoices and payments and the consent of the utility, certain payments were not required to be made.

(iii) Total payments for Payroll & Benefits were $49.8 million during the Reporting Period compared to an amount of approximately $46.5 million in the ACI Forecast. This variance is primarily a timing variance due to the payment of payroll withholding taxes that were forecast to be paid outside of the Reporting Period.

Financing

31. Details regarding the ACI Group’s financing activities are summarized in the following table:

		$US 000
Financing	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Securitization Inflows / (Outflows)	32(i)	$	10,712		$	(1,334	)	$	12,046		903	%
Adequate Protection by DCorp to ACCC Term Lenders	32(ii)		(3,180	)		(3,537	)		357		10	%
DIP Interest & Fees	32(iii)		(1,814	)		(245	)		(1,569	)	(640	%)
Restructuring & Other Items	32(iv)		(4,268	)		(5,000	)		732		15	%
Foreign Exchange Translation	32(v)		(4,272	)		—			(4,272	)	N/A
		$	(2,822	)	$	(10,116	)	$	7,294		72	%

32. The variance analysis with respect to the ACI Group’s financing activities has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the variances:

(i) Securitization Inflows/(Outflows) totalled an inflow of approximately $10.7 million compared to a projected outflow of approximately $1.3 million during the Reporting Period due to higher than forecast sales and a more favourable accounts receivable aging profile.

- 15 -

(ii) Adequate Protection by DCorp to ACCC Term Lenders totalled approximately $3.2 million compared to a forecast amount of $3.5 million. The reason for the difference is due to the fact that certain professional fees originally forecast as part of Adequate Protection by DCorp to ACCC Term Lenders were included in the Restructuring & Other Items line.

(iii) DIP Interest & Fees were greater than forecast due to the fact that approximately $1.5 million was paid during the Reporting Period to Bank of Montreal and Investissement Quebec to extend the ACI DIP Facility to December 15, 2009. This payment was not contemplated by the ACI Forecast.

(iv) Payments for Restructuring & Other Items totalled approximately $4.3 million compared to a forecast of $5.0 million. The difference is primarily due to the timing of receipt of invoices from various professional service firms.

(v) Amounts on the Foreign Exchange Translation line represent the difference between the actual exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars at the time of conversion as compared to the forecast rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.90. During the Reporting Period the value of the Canadian dollar fluctuated between US$0.9243 and US$0.9715.

BCFPI

33. The following table summarizes the receipts and disbursements of BCFPI for the Reporting Period, which is detailed in Appendix “F” of this Twenty-Fifth Report:

	US$000
	Actual			Forecast			Variance
Receipts	$	78,830		$	61,204		$	17,626		29	%
Disbursements
Net Trade Disbursements		(50,607	)		(41,642	)		(8,965	)	(22	%)

Opening Cash		7,401			7,401			—		—
Ending Cash	$	10,042		$	10,974		$	(932	)	(8	%)

34. As detailed in the table above, BCFPI’s total receipts for the Reporting Period were approximately $17.6 million higher than the BCFPI Forecast. Disbursements were $16.5 million higher than the BCFPI Forecast and Financing disbursements were $2.1 million greater than forecast. BCFPI had cash on hand of $10.0 million at November 22, 2009. Overall, the ending cash balance was approximately $0.9 million lower than the BCFPI Forecast.

Receipts

35. A breakdown of the BCFPI receipts are summarized in the table below:

		US$000
Receipts	Para.	Actual		Forecast		Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections	36(i)	$	13,505	$	54,204	$	(40,699	)	(75	%)
Intercompany A/R Settlements	36(i)		41,909		—		41,909		N/A
Total A/R Collections			55,414		54,204		1,210		2	%
Advances from Bowater Inc.	36(ii)		9,000		7,000		2,000		29	%
Other Inflows	36(iii)		14,416		—		14,416		N/A
Total Receipts		$	78,830	$	61,204	$	17,626		29	%

- 17 -

36. The variance analysis with respect to the receipts has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons for the significant variances:

(i) Total A/R Collections were approximately $55.4 million resulting in a positive variance of approximately $1.2 million.

Pursuant to BCFPI’s normal practice and the Cash Management System, sales which are made to customers domiciled in the United States are sold through an affiliate, Bowater America Inc. (“BAI”). BAI, which is a subsidiary of BI, collects the accounts receivable from the third party customers and then remits these funds via an Intercompany A/R Settlement to BCFPI. BCFPI continues to reconcile its intercompany trade receivables on a regular basis.

In addition to the above, BI collects substantially all accounts receivable related to BCFPI’s sale of pulp. Such amounts are reconciled and transferred from BI to BCFPI on a monthly basis. Transfers of pulp receipts through the end of October have been paid to BCFPI.

(ii) On a net basis, Advances from Bowater Inc. totalled $9.0 million during the Reporting Period. Advances of $7.0 million were forecast in the BCFPI Forecast. The higher than forecast advances were required to maintain BCFPI’s liquidity at approximately $10 million.

(iii) Amounts received related to Other Inflows were approximately $14.4 million during the Reporting Period. Such receipts primarily represent various sales tax refunds (approximately $5.6 million), amounts received in respect of reforestation work (approximately $3.1 million) and deposits made at the mill level. BCFPI does not typically forecast the receipt of such amounts.

- 18 -

Disbursements

37. Details regarding disbursements related to Net Trade Disbursements are summarized in the following table:

		US$000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Trade Payables	38(i)	$	(37,208	)	$	(39,335	)	$	2,127		5	%
Intercompany A/P Settlements - Disbursements	38(ii)		(1,646	)		—			(1,646	)	N/A
Capital Expenditures	38(iii)		—			(2,307	)		2,307		100	%
Payments on Behalf of Affiliates	38(iv)		(11,753	)		—			(11,753	)	N/A
Net Trade Disbursements		$	(50,607	)	$	(41,642	)	$	(8,965	)	(22	%)

38. The variance analysis with respect to BCFPI’s disbursements has been compiled based on discussions with Management and the following represents a summary of the reasons provided for these variances:

(i) Disbursements related to Trade Payables were approximately $2.1 million less than projected during the Reporting Period. Included in the Trade Payables line in the BCFPI Forecast is approximately $3.1 million in respect of disbursements related to Freight. If this amount is removed from the forecast the negative variance is approximately $1.0 million.

Receipts related to Intercompany A/P Settlements - Receipts were nil during the Reporting Period. Such amounts typically represent reimbursement for amounts disbursed on behalf of Mersey, which is a joint venture partially owned by BI. The actual amount transferred was nil due to a delay in the settlement of certain amounts due to BCFPI. The revised forecast in Appendix “H” contemplates that these amounts will be settled in the week ended November 29, 2009.

(ii) Intercompany A/P Settlements - Disbursements represent BCFPI reimbursing related entities for payments made on its behalf. During the Reporting Period, such payments totalled approximately $1.6 million and are primarily reimbursements to the ACI Group for freight costs.

- 19 -

(iii) Capital Expenditures are not tracked on a weekly basis. As such, disbursements for this line item have been included in Trade Payables. The Monitor has been advised that capital expenditures for October, 2009 were approximately $0.8 million.

(iv) Payments on Behalf of Affiliates were $11.8 million during the Reporting Period. These payments primarily represent disbursements made by BCFPI on behalf of Mersey. Due to the integrated nature of the operations of the Petitioners and the Cash Management System, such payments occur on a regular basis. BCFPI does not typically forecast such payments, nor does it typically forecast the repayment of these items. During the Reporting Period BCFPI was not directly reimbursed for all amounts disbursed on behalf of Mersey since the date of filing (as detailed in the table below). As noted above, a settlement in respect of this item is forecast to occur in the week ended November 29, 2009.

	US$000
Cash Receipts on Behalf of Mersey	36,637
Reimbursements for Payments Made	30,968
Amounts Disbursed on Behalf of Mersey	(73,489	)
Net Cash Flow	(5,884	)

39. Actual receipts and disbursements related to intercompany accounts receivable transactions are summarized in the table below:

		US$000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast		Variance			Variance %
A/R Collections - Affiliates	39(i)	$	5,049		$	—	$	5,049		N/A
Intercompany A/R Settlements	39(ii)		(7,514	)		—		(7,514	)	N/A
		$	(2,465	)	$	—	$	(2,465	)	N/A

(i) Receipts related to A/R Collections – Affiliates totalled approximately $5.0 million during the Reporting Period. Such amounts are regularly collected by BCFPI as part of the operation of the Cash Management System.

- 20 -

(ii) Payments for Intercompany A/R Settlements totalled approximately $7.5 million during the Reporting Period. Intercompany A/R Settlements represent payments made by BCFPI to reimburse related entities for accounts receivable incorrectly paid to BCFPI by ABH-affiliated customers.

(iii) The quantum of Intercompany A/R Settlements is greater than A/R Collections – Affiliates due to the fact that unapplied cash is occasionally identified as belonging to an affiliated ABH Group entity after it has been reported on a weekly basis as belonging to BCFPI.

40. Disbursements for “Other” items are as follows and are summarized in the table below:

		US$000
	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Freight	40(i)	$	(3,666	)	$	(932	)	$	(2,734	)	(293	%)
Intercompany SG&A Allocation	40(ii)		—			(400	)		400		100	%
Payroll and Benefits	40(iii)		(14,402	)	$	(11,690	)		(2,712	)	(23	%)
		$	(18,068	)	$	(13,022	)	$	(5,046	)	(39	%)

(i) Disbursements for Freight totalled $3.7 million during the Reporting Period. This compares to an amount of approximately $0.9 million in the BCFPI Forecast. As noted above, a portion of freight costs were forecast as part of the Trade Payables line. The quantum of this portion is approximately $3.1 million. Taking this reclassification into account, the variance related to Freight is approximately $0.4 million positive.

(ii) Amounts related to the Intercompany SG&A Allocation were not settled during the Reporting Period. Such amounts are now forecast to be paid in December, 2009.

- 21 -

(iii) During the Reporting Period, payments in respect of Payroll and Benefits totalled $14.4 million. The BCFPI Forecast projected disbursements in the amount of $11.7 million. The reason for this variance is primarily due to the early payment of benefits which was forecast to be paid in the week ended December 6, 2009.

Financing

41. Details regarding financing are summarized in the following table:

		US$000
Financing	Para.	Actual			Forecast			Variance			Variance %
Interest	42	$	(1,415	)	$	(1,502	)	$	87		6	%
Restructuring Costs	43		(1,391	)		(1,465	)		74		5	%
Foreign Exchange Translation	44		(2,243	)		—			(2,243	)	N/A
Cash Flow from Financing/Restructuring		$	(5,049	)	$	(2,967	)	$	(2,082	)	(70	%)

42. Disbursements related to Interest, which were forecast to be approximately $1.5 million, were approximately $1.4 million.

43. Restructuring Costs were approximately $1.4 million compared to a forecast amount of $1.5 million.

44. Amounts on the Foreign Exchange Translation line represent the difference between the actual exchange rate at the time of conversion between Canadian and U.S. dollars as compared to the forecast rate of CDN$1.00=US$0.90.

CURRENT LIQUIDITY POSITION AND THE 17-WEEK CASH FLOW FORECASTS

45. Attached as Appendices “G” and “H”, respectively, are the updated 17-week cash flow forecasts of the ACI Group (including DCorp) and BCFPI through March 21, 2009.

- 22 -

46. As at November 22, 2009, the ACI Group had cash on hand of approximately $159.4 million. In addition to this amount, the undrawn portion of the ACI DIP Facility was $45.2 million. However, pursuant to the ACI DIP Facility, $12.5 million of this amount must remain undrawn, thereby resulting in net available liquidity under the ACI DIP Facility of $32.7 million. Accordingly, the total liquidity of the ACI Group was $192.1 million ($159.4 million cash plus $32.7 million of the ACI DIP Facility) as at November 22, 2009.

47. The ACI Group’s actual liquidity to November 22, 2009 and forecast total liquidity for the 17 weeks ending March 21, 2010 is set forth in Appendix “G” and is summarized in the graph below:

48. The ACI Group’s total available liquidity at March 21, 2010, which is the end of the 17-week period in the forecast in Appendix “G”, is projected to be approximately $246.7 million. The primary reason for the difference in forecast liquidity at March 21, 2010 and the liquidity at the end of the ACI Forecast is the fact that the proceeds from the sale of ACCC’s interest in the Manicouagan Power Company (“MPCo”) are now included in the updated cash flow forecast in Appendix “G”. The ACI Forecast did not previously include any proceeds from the sale of MPCo.

- 23 -

49. The ACI Group cash flow forecast included in Appendix “G” reflects the repayment of the ACI DIP Facility on December 15, 2009, which is the revised date by which it must be repaid. Amounts outstanding under the ACI DIP Facility will be repaid with proceeds of the sale of the ACI Group’s 60% interest in MPCo. Although the cash flow forecast in Appendix “G” reflects the closing of the sale of MPCo in the week ended December 20, 2009, the actual closing is currently scheduled for December 9, 2009. A summary of the projected sources and uses of cash from the sale of MPCo is below:

	CDN $000		US $000
Proceeds from the Sale of ACCC MPCo Interest (Net of Certain Deductions)	517,100		465,390
Payment to ULC Reserve	(282,300	)	(254,070	)
ULC DIP Facility Drawing on Closing of MPCo Transaction	130,000		117,000
ACI DIP Facility Repayment	(60,889	)	(54,800	)
Distribution to Senior Secured Noteholders	(200,000	)	(180,000	)
Net Cash Flow	103,911		93,520
ULC Reserve
ULC DIP Available Upon Notice	50,000		45,000
ULC DIP Available Subject to Court Approval	50,000		45,000
Restricted ULC Reserve	52,300		47,070
	152,300		137,070
ULC DIP Facility Drawing on Closing of MPCo Transaction	130,000		117,000
	282,300		254,070

Note: The above amounts are as estimated in the Nineteenth Report of the Monitor dated October 27, 2009, and are subject to adjustment for actual closing amounts.

50. Actual results since the date of the issuance of the Initial Order and BCFPI’s forecast liquidity for the 17 weeks ended March 21, 2010, which includes the projected repayment of intercompany funding from BI in the amount of $2.0 million, is set forth in Appendix “H” and is summarized in the graph below. The estimate of liquidity in the following graph assumes that a minimum cash balance of $10.0 million will be maintained and funds will be transferred from BI, as necessary, on that basis.

- 24 -

51. On August 26, 2009 and September 1, 2009, this Honourable Court and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, respectively, approved certain agreements between the ACI Group, BCFPI and Smurfit-Stone Container Canada Inc. (“Smurfit”) relating to the sale of certain timberlands by Smurfit, which will result in BCFPI receiving net proceeds in the amount of approximately $25.9 million (the “Smurfit Timberland Proceeds”). The Smurfit Timberland Proceeds were paid to the Monitor’s trust account in the week ended October 25, 2009 and are to be held in trust by the Monitor pending further order of this Honourable Court. For purposes of the forecast, the proceeds are reflected as being held in trust by the Monitor and are not used for operating purposes due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of the release of these funds.

52. BCFPI’s liquidity as at March 21, 2010 is projected to be approximately $9.6 million, not including the Smurfit Timberland Proceeds.

53. Management has informed the Monitor that BCFPI’s forecast cash requirements will be supported by BI through intercompany advances, if necessary.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

54. As first reported in the Seventh Report the Petitioners track certain key performance indicators in the course of managing their business. Appendix “I” contains certain key performance indicators which have been updated through October 31, 2009, the most current data available as at the date of this Twenty-Fifth Report.

ACH POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

55. ACH is a non-filing partnership owned 75% by Abitibi-Consolidated Hydro Inc. (which is owned 75% by ACCC) and 25% by CDP Investissements Inc. ACH operates a number of power facilities in Ontario. It sells its power to the Independent Electricity System Operator and certain ABH mills based on market pricing.

56. The Monitor has been advised that, as part of a greater initiative to preserve certain independent power producers and to encourage clean energy, the OPA has recently begun to enter into fixed pricing agreements with independent power producers.

57. ACH has negotiated a long term agreement with the OPA, whereby the OPA will fix the price it pays to ACH for power purchased. The guaranteed price will increase every year based on the consumer price index. ABH advised that the average historical price has been approximately $50 per megawatt per hour so there is currently a premium over this historic average based on the ACH Power Purchase Agreement. If prices were to increase beyond the agreed upon per megawatt hour price, ACH would not realize this increase as its price would remain capped at the agreed level.

- 26 -

58. As part of the ACH Power Purchase Agreement, there exist certain events that would enable the OPA to cancel this contract. Such events primarily deal with any change in control of ACH and the ability of the OPA to cancel the ACH Power Purchase Agreement if it does not approve of any future purchaser. The OPA has the right to reject any purchaser in the first three years of the ACH Power Purchase Agreement and thereafter the OPA must consent to any purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

All of which is respectfully submitted.
