1. Exchange Act Reporting History
A.
SR
Telecom Inc. (the ”Company”) first incurred the duty to file reports under
section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) on August 7, 2003 when its registration statement
on Form F-4 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”). SR Telecom’s common shares,
no par value (the “common shares”), were listed on the Nasdaq National Market
(“Nasdaq”) on September 3, 2003.
B.
SR
Telecom has filed or submitted all reports required under Exchange Act section
13(a) or section 15(d) and corresponding Commission rules for the 12 months
preceding the filing of this form, and it has filed at least one annual report
under section 13(a).
Item
2. Recent United States Market Activity
SR
Telecom’s securities were last sold in the United States in a registered
offering under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") in 2003 pursuant to a registration statement on Form F−4,
filed on August 1, 2003.
Item
3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market
A.
The
primary trading market for SR Telecom’s common shares is the Toronto Stock
Exchange (the “TSX”), which is located in Toronto, Ontario in
Canada.
B.
SR
Telecom’s common shares were initially listed on the TSX on June 12,
1986. SR Telecom has maintained a listing of its common shares on the
TSX for at least the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form.
C.
During
the 12−month period beginning on November 1, 2006 and ending on October 31,
2007, the average daily trading volume ("ADTV") of SR Telecom 's common shares
in on−exchange transactions in Canada represented 97.26% of the ADTV of SR
Telecom 's common shares on a worldwide basis.

Item
4. Comparative Trading Volume Data
A. The
first and last days of the recent 12−month period used to meet the requirements
of Rule 12h−6(a)(4)(i) are November 1, 2006 and October 31, 2007, respectively
(the “Recent 12-Month Period”).
B. During
the Recent 12-Month Period, the ADTV of SR Telecom’s common shares in the United
States was 42,360 (including on−exchange as well as
off−exchange transactions effected in the United States) and on a worldwide
basis was 1,548,422 (including on−exchange as well as off−exchange transactions
effected in the United States and on−exchange transactions effected in
Canada).
C. During
the Recent 12-Month Period, the ADTV of SR Telecom’s common shares in the United
States was 2.74% of the ADTV of SR Telecom’s common shares on a worldwide basis
during the same period.
D. On
November 30, 2005, the
Company received notice from the Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel that
its
common shares would be delisted from Nasdaq, and such delisting became effective
as of the opening of business on December 2, 2005. For the preceding 12-month
period beginning on December 1, 2004 and ending on November 30, 2005, the ADTV
of SR Telecom’s common shares in the United States was 49.41%
of the ADTV of SR Telecom’s common
shares on a worldwide basis during the same period.
E. The
Company has not terminated a sponsored American depositary receipt facility
regarding its common shares.
F.
The
source of the trading volume information used for determining that SR Telecom
meets the requirements of Rule 12h−6 under the Exchange Act was Bloomberg.
Bloomberg data for trading volumes in the United States includes data relating
to both on−exchange and off-exchange trading in the United States. Bloomberg
data for trading volumes outside of the United States includes data relating
to
trading on the TSX, but does not include off-exchange trading. Accordingly,
all
United States ADTV figures include both on−exchange and off-exchange trading,
while the TSX ADTV figures include only on−exchange trading.
