18.1. For the purposes of this Act, “eligible enterprise” means an enterprise in active operation the majority of whose employees are resident in Québec and whose assets are less than $100,000,000 or whose net equity is less than $50,000,000.
For the purposes of this Act, the assets or net equity of an enterprise in which the Fund makes an investment are the assets or net equity shown in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended before the date on which the investment is made, minus the write-up surplus of its property and the incorporeal assets. In the case of an enterprise which has not completed its first fiscal year, the fact that the assets or net equity, as the case may be, of the enterprise are, immediately before the investment, under the limits prescribed in this division in relation to such an investment must be confirmed in writing to the Fund by a chartered accountant.
