3.A.3.  Exchange Rates


In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars ($).  The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the United StatesU.S. Dollar (US$).


The table sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian Dollar at the end of the five most recent fiscal periods ended December 31st, the average rates for the period and the range of high and low rates for the period.  The data for each month during the previous twelve months is also provided.  


For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon   buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar.  The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

3.D.  Risk Factors



The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

Lingo Media (the “Company”) develops, publishes and licenses book, audio/video cassette, CD-based product and supplemental product for English language learning for the educational school markets in China.  In addition, through its subsidiary, A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. (“A+”), the Company specializes in early childhood cognitive development programs, through the publishing and distribution of educational materials along with its proprietary curriculum through its four offices in Canada - Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Vancouver.

In 2006, through the acquisition of A+, Lingo Media extended its business to include the sale of early childhood development programs in Canada. A+ operates through its office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A+ is involved in the business of early childhood cognitive development, through the publishing, teaching and distribution of educational materials along with its proprietary curriculum developed by its advisory panel of psychologists.


Lingo Media operates two distinct reportable business segments as follows:


English Language Learning: The Company develops, publishes, and licenses book, audio/video cassette, CD-based product and supplemental product for English language learning for the educational school market in China.  


Early Childhood Development: The Company specializes in early childhood cognitive development programs, through the publishing and distribution of educational materials along with its unique curriculum through its four offices in Canada - Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto.

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from doing business in Canada and China. The Company also obtains revenue on sales of its products to Canadian school boards. If any of the following risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer.  In any such events, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our shares of common stock.


Risks associated with business of A+


Dependence on third party vendors


The Company sells programs that include third party products.  There is no certainty that the vendors of these products will continue the production of these products and the Company’s ability to source a replacement of such products. Such discontinuation of these products will significantly impact our ability to continue the sales of these programs.


Dependency on key personnel



6




The Company’s future success is dependent on the success and ability of its key management.  The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, consultants or advisors could adversely affect the Company’s business.  The Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies and organizations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel.  The inability of the Company to retain and attract the necessary personnel or the loss of services of any of its key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s profitability.


Inability of the Company to keep pace with the new technologies may result in reduced profitability


The Company sells programs primarily consisting of printed materials.  The educational industry continues to evolve from traditional printed materials to digital products. Theinability of the Company to keep pace with the new technologies and standards in the educational industry could render its products and services non-competitive.  The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers by producing and marketing enhancements to its products and services that respond to customer requirements. The Company may be required to invest significant capital in order to remain competitive. A failure on the part of the Company to effectively manage a product transition will directly affect the demand for the Company’s products and the future profitability of the Company’s operatio ns.


Losses may increase due to fluctuation in exchange rate


The Company’s programs include third party products that are purchased in US dollars and the Company may incur losses if the US Dollar is strengthened against the Canadian dollar.


Sales may reduce if the Company is not able to arrange consumer financing


The Company’s sales are highly dependent on its ability to arrange a third party financing for the customer.  The Company’s revenues will significantly decline if the third party financier decides to discontinue this program and we are unable to negotiate other sources of similar consumer financing program.


Limited ability to generate sales leads


Company is highly dependent on its ability to generate sales leads through its telemarketing activities.  A new technology that would block incoming telemarketing telephone calls into homes will jeopardize the Company’s ability to generate sales leads and revenues in Canada.



7




A+ derives all of its revenue from sales made in a clients home. This format requires that an appointment be made with the family in order for the sale to take place. The appointment can only be arranged from leads generated from our call centres. There are certain factors that could restrict the number of appointments that we are able to set. including:


1)

The number of families with children 3 and under in the territory which we serve, roughly 1 million households. We work off lists purchased from brokers to contact these people. Approximately 400,000 names of such families end up on such lists. The number of names we will require as we expand will exceed that figure. When this occurs the growth in the child development side of the company will plateau, as will profits.


2)

Other factors which could reduce appointments include:

a.

Increasingly more stringent privacy laws

b.

The possibility and indeed the likelihood of a “do not call” list being legislated.

c.

A perceptible increase in the reluctance of families to entertain a perceived “sales person” in their home.


These could lead to detrimental effects on the Company’s ability to make appointments with prospective customers and will affect productivity and therefore profitability.


Possible lack of trained management staff may reduce our future profitability


In order to provide as broad coverage as possible in the territory we serve, it is necessary to establish district sales offices, which serve between 100,000 and 300,000 prospective families. As expansion takes place we must of course have managers who can hire, train and continually advise and assist sales consultants. In order to do this the manager must have experience and knowledge in this highly specialized and unique field. This means that, ideally, the manager should be hired from within the sales consultant force. This does not totally rule out hiring a manager from outside operations, but should that be necessary, such person would probably require 6-12 months of training to effectively manage a district sales office. There is always the risk of under performing sales results, in district offices, which could restrict profitability.


Risks associated with doing business in China


Risk of failing to achieve market acceptance


Although the Company has contracts with People Education Press (“PEP”) in Beijing for English Language Learning materials, there can be no assurance that the State Ministry of Education in China will continue to accept the educational publications produced by the Company.



8




Our limited experience in China may impede our success


The Company has limited experience in the provision ofproviding traditional educational publishing and distribution in China.  Although the Company has retained the services of Canadian, US, British and Chinese educators to assist the Company with these endeavors, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel with relevant experience for the continued management and development of its business.


The growth of the Company’s business is dependent on government budgetary policy, particularly the allocation of funds to sustain the growth of the English language learning and training programs in China


The Company’s customers in China, excluding Renzhen Group, are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Chinese government.  Accordingly, their business strategies, capital expenditure budgets and spending plans are largely decided in accordance with government policies, which, in turn, are determined on a centralized basis at the highest level by the State Planning Commission of China.  As a result, the growth of our business is heavily dependent on government policies for English language learning and training.  Despite the high priority currently accorded by the government to this area, and a high level of funding allocated by the government to this sector, insufficient government allocation of funds to sustain its growth in the future could reduce the demand for our products and services and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.




Political and economic policies of the Chinese government could affect our industry in general and our competitive position in particular


Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in 1949, the Communist Party has been the governing political party in China.  The highest bodies of leadership are the Politburo of the Communist Party, the Central Committee and the National People's Congress.  The State Council, which is the highest institution of government administration, reports to the National People's Congress and has under its supervision various commissions, agencies and ministries, including Ministry of Commerce of the PRC “MOFCOM”.  Since the late 1970s, the Chinese government has been reforming the Chinese economic system.  Reforms have included decollectivization of farms; legalization of interregional and international trade by individuals and businesses; legalization of markets in most goods andservices; elimination of price controls; and privatization of some state-ownedstate-ow ned productive assets.  Reforms began in the farming sector and rural industry, and were later implemented in various service industries.  In the last five years, China has also begun dismantling large state monopolies in heavy industry.



9



Although the Company believes that economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government have had and will continue to have a positive effect on the economic development in China, there can be no assurance that the economic reform strategy will not from time to time be modified or revised.  Such modifications or revisions, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China and investment in the English language learning and training sectors in China.  Such developments could reduce, perhaps significantly, the demand for our products and services.  There is no guarantee that the Chinese government will no tnot impose other economic or regulatory controls that would have a material adverse effect on our business.  Furthermore, changes in political, economic and social conditions in China, adjustments in policies of the Chinese government or changes in laws and regulations could adversely affect our industry in general and our competitive position in particular.  Changes in government policies might includeincreased restrictions on the nature of business activities that foreign-owned enterprises may perform or additional tax/fee/license requirements for foreign-owned enterprises; increased restrictions on the publishing industry, including restrictions on the nature of business activities that publishers may perform; additional tax/fee/license requirements; requirements to publish or not to publish certain content; and direct state supervision or control of publisher's activities; and more intensive approval requirements for educational materials.


The markets in which the Company sells its services and products are highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively


The educational publishing market in China is rapidly changing.   Competitors to the Company’s strategic co-publishing partners in the market mainly include provincial and municipal educational publishing companies such as Hebei Education Press and Shanghai Foreign Language Educational Press.  In addition, there are many large multinational educational publishing companies with substantial, existing publishing operations in Asian markets including China, that have significantly greater financial, technological, marketing and human resources who have entered the English language learning and training market in China, which could hurt the Company’s future prospects and erode its market share.



Most of our competitors have greater financial, technical and human resources than us, andmay be able to respond more quickly to new and emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of new products or services.  It is possible that competition in the form of new competitors or alliances, joint ventures or consolidation among existing competitors may decrease our market share.  Increased competition could result in fewer customer engagements, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could materially and adversely affect our revenues and overall financial condition.



10




Economic risks associated with doing business in China


The Chinese economy has experienced uneven growth across geographic and economic sectors. The current economic situation may adversely affect our profitability over time as expenditures for English language training products may decrease due to the results of slowing domestic demand and deflation.  In addition, the Chinese government may implement changes in fiscal policy that could increase our costs of operating our business in China or slow demand for our products.  We cannot predict what effects changes in Chinese government policies may have on our business or results of operations.


We may suffer currency exchange losses if the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“Yuan”) depreciates relative to the United States Dollar


Our reporting currency is the Canadian Dollar.  However, substantially all revenues from China activities are denominated in United States Dollars.  In July 2005, the Chinese government announced that the Yuan will no longer be pegged to the United States Dollar, but will float against a basket of currencies. China's currency had been pegged at 8.28 against the United States Dollar for a decade, but the adjustment allowed it to float against a number of currencies including the US dollar, the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won, the UK Pound, the Thai Baht and the Russian Rouble.  Since that time, the Yuan has traded below the pegged rate.

If the Yuan were no longer pegged to the basket of currencies, rate fluctuations may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial reporting and make realistic revenue projections.reporting. The Company’s accounts receivable from China will decline in value if the Yuan depreciates relative to the Canadian and United States Dollar.  Any such depreciation could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.  To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.  While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all.  In ad dition,addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by Chinese exchange control regulations that may restrict our and our Chinese partners’ ability to convert Renminbi into United States Dollars.

 Although the Company is considering the use of its key managementmultimedia interactive content, the continued growth of multimedia products and product development teams.  The Company has obtained key man insurance on its senior executive inonline learning may detract from the amountviability of $1,000,000.  The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, consultants or advisors, particularly with respect to the Company’s intended expansion into the distribution of print media products in China, could adversely affect the Company’s business.  The Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies and organizations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel.  The inability of the Company to retain and attract the necessary personnel or the loss of services of any of its key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.traditional publishing activities.


Risk of the Company’s failure to manage its growth effectively as it attempts to expand operations in China


As the Company endeavors to increase its sales and develop new lines of business, it will be subject to a number of risks associated with the management of such growth. These risks include increased responsibilities for existing personnel, the need to hire additional qualified personnel and, in general, higher levels of operating expenses.  In order to manage current operations and any future growth effectively, the Company will need to continue to implement and improve it’s operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain qualified employees.  In particular, as the Company proceedswith its anticipated expansion into the distribution of print media products in China, it will need to ensure that adequate mechanisms are in place to address potential growth from the largely untapped Chinese marketplace and to ensure that the Co mpanyCompany has hired, trained and retained employees that are familiar with that marketplace.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage such growth effectively, that its management, personnel or systems will be adequate to support the Company’s operations or that the Company will be able to achieve the increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating expenses associated with this growth. In the event the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively due to expenses exceeding sales, the timing of expenses becoming due or other reasons, the Company may be forced to reduce or curtail operations.


The Company’s customer base is concentrated and the loss of the one customer could cause the Company’s business to suffer significantly


We have derived and believe that we will continue to derive a significant portion of our revenues from one large customer.  In 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2005,2006, one customer accounted for 97%91%, 91%98% and 98%75% of the Company’s revenues respectively. The loss, cancellation or deferral of the large contract with this large customer would have a material adverse effect on our revenues.revenues from China.  In addition, there can be no assurance that we will continue to bring in new significant customers.customers in China.


Other Risk Factors


Dependence on Michael P. Kraft, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as other executives


The Company’s future success is dependent on the success and ability of its key management and product development teams.  The Company has obtained key man insurance on its senior executive in the amount of $1,000,000.



12



The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, consultants or advisors, could adversely affect the Company’s business.  The Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies and organizations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel.  The inability of the Company to retain and attract the necessary personnel or the loss of services of any of its key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.



Technological changes may reduce the Company’s sale of its products and services


The traditional publishing industry continues to experience technological change.  The publishing industry continues to evolve from traditional mechanical format printing to full digital printing.  The inability of the Company to keep pace with the new technologies and standards in the print industry could render its products and services non-competitive.  The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers by producing and marketing enhancements to its products and services that respond to customer requirements.  The Company may be required to invest significant capital in order to remain competitive. A failure on the part of the Company to effectively manage a product transition will directly affect the demand for the Company’s products and the future profitability of the Company’s operations.



Exchange rate fluctuations may reduce the Company’s revenues or increase the Company’s expenses


The Company does transact some business involving currencies other than the Canadian currency in both purchasing and selling goods and services.  The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may have an adverse effect on the Company’s businesses.


Growth of multimedia products and online learning may compete with and reduce the Company’s publishing activities


The traditional media platform is being increasingly challenged by the growing body of multimedia products and online learning.  Multimedia products serve as ancillary tools to traditional publishing mediums such as print but can also serve as stand-alone interactive tools replacing traditional publishing mediums.  Although the Company is continuing its ownpublishing activities using multimedia interactive mediums, the continued growth of multimedia products and online learning may detract from the viability of the Company’s traditional publishing activities.


Dependence on key contractors for maintenance of high quality editorial content


A key component of the continued success of the traditional publishing activities of the Company will be the ability of the Company to maintain high quality editorial content.  The Company must continue to develop new and innovative products to sustain its educational publishing activities in order to ensure the continued viability of the traditional publishing aspects of its business.  Although the Company continues to retain experienced educators and editors to develop content for its educational publications, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue hiring experienced educators and editors to maintain the current high levelsquality level of editorial content for future publications.



13





Competition is likely to have a tremendous impact on our business


The Company faces considerable competition from traditional educational publishing companies and from educational software providers in China both of which offer the same or similar services as are available from the Company’s traditional publishing operations.  In addition, it is anticipated that as China becomes more open to foreign involvement for educational programs, the level of competition will further intensify.


We may need additional capital in the future and it may not be available on acceptable terms


We believe that our current cash on hand along with our accounts receivable and recurring sales, will satisfy our working capital requirements for continued operations for at least the next twelve months.  After that, we may need to raise additional funds in order to finance our operations and our China Expansion Plan.operations.  The Company expects that corporate growth will be funded from the sale of equity and/or debt financing(s) to help generate needed capital.  Insuring that capital is available to increase production; sales and marketing capacity; and to provide support materials and training in the market place and to expand through joint ventures is essential to success.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations.  Even if we are able to contin uecontinue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results.


Risk of history of losses


The Company has had a history of losses and there is no assurance that it can reach profitability in the future.  The Company will require significant additional funding to meet its business objectives.  Capital will need to be available to help expand not only the Company’s product line but also to improve market penetration and sales through an increasing distribution network.


Our public trading market is highly volatile


The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LMD", and on NASD:OTCBBOTC BB under the symbol “LNGMF” and are quoted on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange under the symbol LIM.BE and the German securities code is (WKN) 121226.



14



The market price of our common shares could fluctuate substantially due to:

§

Quarterly fluctuations in operating results;

§

Announcements of new products or services by us or our competitors;

§

Technological innovations by us or our competitors;


§

General market conditions or market conditions specific to our or our customer’s industries; or

§

Changes in earning estimates or recommendations by analysts.

Penny stock rules


Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board; a NASD sponsored and operated quotation system for equity securities.  It is a more limited trading market than the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, and timely, accurate quotations of the price of our common shares may not always be available.  You may expect trading volume to be low in such a market.  Consequently, the activity of only a few shares may affect the market and may result in wide swings in price and in volume.


Our common shares are listed on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, and are subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g) 9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common shares is below $5.00 per share.  Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction.  The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trade involving a stock defined  as a penny stock.  Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQN ASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.  The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it.  Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.


The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies, have been highly volatile.  Investors may not be able to sell their shares at or above the then current, OTCBBOTC BB price.  In addition, our results of operations during future fiscal periods might fail to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors.  This failure could lead the market price of our common shares to decline.



15




There is uncertainty as to the Company’s shareholders’ ability to enforce civil liabilities both in and outside of the United States


The preponderance of our assets are located outside the United States and are held through companies incorporated under the laws of Canada, and Barbados and a representative officein China.  Our current operations are conducted in China.  In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States.  All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons.  In addition, investors may have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.


Additional Risk Factors Associated With Jintu Joint Venture in China:


Jintu JV is a development stage company and is subject to all of the uncertainties of starting a new business segment.


A print media joint venture in China requires approvals from the General Administration of Press and Publications Bureau and from the Ministry of Commerce.  While the Company anticipates getting the requisite approvals for Jintu Joint Venture (“Jintu JV”), there can be no assurance that Jintu JV will receive the requisite government approvals and that the joint venture will obtain the necessary business registration and license.


The Company relies on both its existing royalty revenues and external equity funding to support its existing and future operations and investments.  Joint ventures in China require each party to contribute its proportionate share of the Registered Capital of the joint venture.  Jintu JV requires a total of ¥5,000,000 Yuan as its Registered Capital and the Company will be required to invest its proportionate share or ¥2,550,000 Yuan ($(CDN$365,000) as its contribution to the Jintu JV.   There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient funds to finance its share of the Registered Capital required for the establishment of the Jintu JV.  


The key executives of the joint venture have prior experience in sales and marketing of a leading educational software company in China.  However, their experience is limited to managing a sales force and not in the establishment and managing of a joint venture. There can be no assurance that the management will be successful in operating the joint venture as they lack operational experience as it is a new entity with no operating history.  


The joint venture’s future success is dependent on success and ability of its key executive officer, YanHuiYan Hui Zhang. The loss of its key officer or the inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, consultants or advisors, particularly with respect to the Company’s intended expansion into the distribution of print media products in China, could adversely affect the Jintu JV’s operations.


Jintu JV may need additional capital in the future and it may not be available on acceptable terms. If adequate



16



 funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to curtail or cease Jintu JV’s operations.  Even if we are able to continue Jintu JV’s operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on its business and financial results.

4.B.  BUSINESS OVERVIEW



Background


Lingo Media Inc. (the "Company") develops, publishes distributes and licenses book, audio, audio/video cassette, CD-based product and CD-based productssupplemental product for English language learning for the educational school markets in China.  In addition, through its subsidiary, A+, the Company specializes in early childhood cognitive development programs, through the publishing and retail bookstore marketdistribution of educational materials along with its proprietary curriculum through its four offices in ChinaCanada - Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto.



19



In 2006, through the acquisition of A+ Lingo Media extended its business to include the sale of early childhood development programs in Canada. A + operates through its offices in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A+ is involved in the business of early child cognitive development, through the publishing, teaching and distribution of educational materials along with its unique curriculum developed by its advisory panel of psychologists.


Lingo Media operates two distinct reportable business segments as follows:


English Language Learning: The Company develops, publishes, and licenses book, audio/video cassette, CD-based product and supplemental product for English language learning for the educational school market in Canada.China.  


Early Childhood Development: The Company specializes in early childhood cognitive development programs, through the publishing and distribution of educational materials along with its unique curriculum through its four offices in Canada - Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto.

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from doing business in Canada and China. If any of the following risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer.  In any such events, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our shares of common stock.


English Language Learning


Lingo Media’s strengths and opportunities lie in its approach to the development of original language learning materials-including English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) and Language Arts for English speakers.  In China, the Company pre-sells its program to educational ministries through co-publishing with local publishers, while retaining full copyright ownership and distribution rights for all other markets.  In Canada, the Company has received Ontario Ministry of Education approval for one of its elementary programs.


Business Focus


China Publishing - China


Lingo Media has spent fivesix years developing English as a Foreign Language (EFL), products, programs, and relationships in the Chinese market. Learning to communicate in English is seen as a top priority for Chinese school students and young adult learners. Along with learning how to use a PC, English skills are perceived as a key determinant of their future levels of prosperity. The Company’s EFL book, audio and CD-based programs are unique in that they have a special focus on the spoken language. In addition to developing learning materials, considerable resources have been expended on the development of relationships with leading Chinese publishers, both in the education and trade sectors, as well as inextensive marketing of Lingo Media’s programs.



20



The Company is capitalizing on its co-development approach in the Chinese market. Lingo Media sees its relationships with leading Chinese publishers; its Canadian and Chinese author teams; and its original custom-developed content as key factors in opening up the Chinese educational market. The Company has secured long-term publishing contracts for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) and higher educational markets, which it anticipates will generate ongoing revenue streams from the sale of its programs.


People’s Education Press “PEP”:


People's Education Press, a division of China's State Ministry of Education, publishes approximately more than approximately 60% of educational materials for the K-12 market throughout China, for all subjects, including English. PEP has a readership of more than 120 million students. Lingo Media has co-published four programs with PEP since August 2000. Three series target the elementary market of 100 million students:PEP Primary English (for grades 3 to 6);Starting Line (Grades 1-6); andBeginning English for Young Learners (Kindergarten, Grades 1& 2). TheJunior Reading Comprehension series is for junior middle school students. Initial levels of all four programs were launched in September 2001 and subsequent levels have been introduced. All series include textbooks, activity books, audiocassettes, teacher resource books, and supplementary materials.


Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press “FLTRP”:

In April 2000, Lingo Media secured a publishing agreement to co-develop, publish and sellSubject-Based English with FLTRP, China’s leading university reference and K-12 publisher. This series is required in order to meet the education curriculum mandated by the State Ministry of Education in China that all 3rd and 4th year university students take intensive English studies specifically related to their majors. The project calls for the development of multiple volumes for each of the six subject areas.


Guangzhou Renzhen English Production Group “Renzhen Group”:


Lingo Media completed a co-publishing agreement for two language-learning programs with Renzhen Group in December 2000. Renzhen Group is one of China’s leading privately owned language learning publishers of book and audiocassette packages focusing on wholesaling to bookstores and newsstands throughout China, as well as on its growing mail order business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

In keeping with the revised revenue recognition practice, royalty revenue from China for Q1 2006 and Q1 2005 were $nil. The financial statements for the second quarter will provide the sales information for both Q1 and Q2 in aggregate.


RevenuesLingo Media earned in Canada were $2,397 in Q1 2006 compared to $5,474 in Q1 2005, representing a decrease of 56% as our Canadian market sales efforts continue.


General and Administrative


General and administrative costs consist of executive compensation, consulting fees, office administration, marketing, professional fees, shareholders services, any foreign exchange losses or gains and government grants which are offset against the general and administration expenses incurred during the period.


These expenses were $178,927 during the first quarter of 2006 as compared with $171,738 for the similar period in 2005. The Company hired additional staff to implement its China Expansion Plans which resulted in increased compensation expense which was offset by a foreign exchange gain recorded during the period.


The Company receives various government grants throughout the year.

Reconciliation of Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"):


Development Costs


Under Canadian GAAP, the Company defers the incremental costs relating to the development of and the pre-operating phases of new businesses and established business and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over periods up to five years.  Under United States GAAP, incremental costs related to development of and the pre-operating plan of a new business are expensed as incurred but the incremental costs incurred for established businesses are capitalized and amortized over on a straight line basis over periods up to five years.

 

Under United States GAAP, the amounts shown on the consolidated balance sheets for development costs would be $306,009 (2004$222,303 (2005 - $253,410)$306,009).


Software development costs:


Under United States GAAP, the software development costs would be expensed as incurred.


Statement of comprehensive income

Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.  Components of comprehensive income or loss include net income or loss and all other changes in other non-owner changes in equity, such as the change in the cumulative translation adjustment and the unrealized gain or loss for the year on "available-for-sale" securities.  For all periods presented, comprehensive loss is the same as loss for the year under US GAAP.

Options to consultants

Starting January 1, 2004 under United States and Canadian GAAP, the Company records compensation expense based on the fair value for stock or stock options granted in exchange for services from consultants and employees. Before January 1, 2003, for the options issued and vested to employees the Company did not recognize a compensation expense under Canadian GAAP but recorded a compensation expense under US GAAP and Canadian GAAP for the options issued to consultants.

Calculation of earnings per share:


Under both US and Canadian GAAP, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income for the year available to common shareholders, as measured by the respective accounting principles (numerator), by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that year (denominator).  Basic earnings per share exclude the dilutive effect of potential common shares.


Diluted earnings per share under Canadian GAAP and US GAAP give effect to all potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of theincremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

Licenses


The Company holds no Licenses.


5.F Trend Information


Lingo Media believes that the trend in English language learning in China is still strong.are strong and growing.  The State Ministry of Education in China (MOE)(“MOE”) is mandating and encouragingexpanding its mandate for the teaching of English learning programs to its students.  During 2004, the Chinese State Ministry of Education (“MOE”) mandated PEP to increase its market share by shifting from Finished Product Sales to Licensing Sales.  As a result of this new MOE stance, PEP had significantly reduced the size of its print runs for Finished Product Sales in 2004 and is now focusing on Licensing Sales.  


35



The impact of this new policy stance resulted in significantly lower revenues from Finished Product Sales and only a marginal increase in Licensing Sales revenues in 2004. Lingo Media expects this shift from Finished Product Sales to Licensing Sales to continue in future periods as long as the MOE stance remains in effect and expects future Licensing Sales to increaseand future Finished Products Sales to decrease which will result in an overall revenue reduction from these sources.    Although the outlook for learning English in China remains positive,there can be no assurance that this trend will continue or that the Company will benefit from this trend.



42



In Canada, pre-school supplemental education market remains strong, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue or that the Company will benefit from this trend.

Stock Options


TSX Venture Exchange Rules and Policies


The terms and conditions of incentive options granted by the Company are done in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX VEN"), including the number of common shares under option, the exercise price and expiration date of such options, and any amendments thereto.



49



Such “terms and conditions”, including the pricing of the options, expiration and the eligibility of personnel for such stock options; are described below.


The TSX VEN policy in respect of incentive stock options provides that shareholder approval is not required if the aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options does not exceed 10% of the issued common shares of the Company, 5% to any one individual and 2% to any consultant at the time of granting.


Shareholder approval of the grant of incentive stock options is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX VEN where the grant will result in the Company having options outstanding which, in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over 10% (to a maximum of 20%) of the outstanding common shares of the Company.


In addition, disinterested shareholders (all shareholders excluding insiders and associates of insiders) approval is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX VEN where:


(a) grant of incentive stock options could result at any time in:


(i)   the Company having options outstanding to insiders which,

      in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over 20% of the

      outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(ii)  the issuance to insiders, within a one year period, of

      common shares which, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the

      outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(iii) the issuance to any one insider and such insider's

      associates, within a one year period, of common shares

      which, in aggregate, exceed 5% of the outstanding common

      shares of the Company; or

42



(iv)  the issuance to any consultant of common shares which, in

      aggregate, exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares of

      the Company; or


(b) the Company is proposing to decrease the exercise price of

    stock options held by any insiders.


Company Stock Option Plans

1996 Plan


Effective November 13, 1996, a stock option plan (the “1996 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors of the Company to encourage ownership of common shares by directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Options could be granted under the 1996 Plan only to directors, senior officers, employees, consultants and personal holding corporations controlled by a director or senior officer of the Company and its subsidiaries as designated from time to time by the board of directors.  The number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan is limited to 1,078,000 common shares.  The maximum number of common shares that could be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 1996 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism.  Any shares subject to an option granted under the 1996 Plan which for any reason were cancelled or terminated prior to exercise will be available for a subsequent grant under the 1996 Plan.  The option price of any common shares cannot be less than the closing price of the shares on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the option is granted.  Options granted under the 1996 Plan were exercisable during a period not exceeding five years, subject to earlier termination upon the termination of the optionee’s employment, upon the optionee ceasing to be an employee, senior officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, or upon the optionee retiring, becoming permanently disabled or dying.  The options are non-transferable.  The 1996 Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of shares issuable thereunder in the even t of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change of the common shares, a merger or other relevant changes in the Company’s capitalization.  The board of directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the 1996 Plan or may terminate the 1996 Plan at any time.  


The 1996 Plan provides that the Company may provide financial assistance in respect of options granted under the 1996 Plan by means of loans to optionees.  No loans were granted by the Company pursuant to the 1996 Plan.


As of the date hereof, there are no shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan.  No further options will be granted under the 1996 Plan.


2000 Plan

43



A subsequent stock option plan (the “2000 Plan”) was adopted by the board of directors of the Company on May 30, 2000, with 2,384,074 common shares reserved for issuance under the plan, to encourage ownership of common shares by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.  On June 28, 2002 the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan to increase the number of options to purchase common shares that may be granted under the 2000 Plan to 4,416,765 less the number of



50



shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan, provided the number of shares reserved for issuance under stock options granted at any time do not exceed 10% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares.  The TSX Venture Exchange accepted for filing the Company’s amended and restated 2000 Plan for a rolling stock option plan reserving 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of a stock option grant, up to a maximum of 4,416,765 common shares, for issuance thereunder.


On July 3, 2003 the Shareholders of the Company approved a further amendment to the 2000 Plan to fix the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2000 Plan at 4,176,765 common shares, representing approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at July 3, 2003.  The 2000 Plan was subsequently amended and restated as of June 30, 2004 to increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2000 Plan to 4,791,954 common shares, representing approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at June 30, 2004.


Options may be granted under the 2000 Plan only to directors, officers, employees, consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and personal holding corporations controlled by a director of officer of the Company and its subsidiaries as designated from time to time by the board of directors.  The number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2000 Plan is currently limited to 4,791,954 common shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan (currently 50,000 shares), provided that the board has the right, from time to time, to increase such number subject to the approval of the relevant exchange on which the shares are listed and the approval of the shareholders of the Company.  The maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 2000 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of t hethe grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism.  Any shares subject to an option granted under the 2000 Plan that for any reason is cancelled or terminated prior to exercise will be available for a subsequent grant under the 2000 Plan.  The option price of any common shares cannot be less than the closing price of the shares on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the option is granted less any permitted discount.  Options granted under the 2000 Plan may be exercised during a period not exceeding five years, subject to earlier termination upon the termination of the optionee’s employment, upon the optionee ceasing to be an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, or upon the optionee retiring, becoming permanently disabled or dying.  Options granted to optionees ve stvest over an 18 month period with no greater than 16.67% of any options granted to an optionee vesting in any threethre e month period or such longer period as the board may determine.  The options under the 2000 Plan are non-transferable.  The 2000 Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of shares issuable thereunder in the event of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change of



51



the common shares, a merger of other relevant changes in the Company’s capitalization.  The board of directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the 2000 Plan or may terminate it at any time


.time.


The 2000 Plan provides that the Company may provide financial assistance in respect of options granted under the 2000 Plan by means of loans to optionees.  Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, the Company may, but is not obligated to, loan to an optionee the funds required to exercise any particular option.  The 2000 Plan provides that any such loan will be for a term not exceeding 10 years and will be non-interest bearing.  Any such loan will be repayable at maturity or upon the death of the optionee or earlier in certain other circumstances.  Any loans made under the 2000 Plan are to be secured by a pledge of the shares acquired upon the exercise of the option exercised being funded to a trustee for such purposes.  In the event that any loan amount is not fully repaid when due the trustee holding the pledged shares is entitled to realize on the shares being held by it as security for the loan.  &nb sp;Loans made under the 2000


Plan are made on a full recourse basis.  The 2000 Plan provides that any shares acquired pursuant to loans made under the 2000 Plan may be sold by the optionee from time to time provided that an amount equal to the aggregate option exercise price or the balance of the loan is applied in repayment of the loan.  Any financial assistance so provided under the 2000 Plan will be subject to and made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulatory policies at the time of making the loan.

entitled to preference over the Common Shares of the Corporation and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs and may also be given such other preferences not inconsistent with paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof over the Common Shares of the Corporation and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares as may be determined in the case of each series of Preferred Shares authorized to be issued.


  3)  Amendment with Approval of Holders of Preferred Shares. The

rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares as a class may be repealed, altered, modified, amended or amplified by Certificate(s) of Amendment, but in each case with the approval of the holders of Preferred Shares (only as a class but not as individual series) given as hereinafter specified.


56



  4)  Approval of Holders of Preferred Shares.     Subject to the

Provisions of the Business Corporations Act, any consent or approval given by the holders of Preferred Shares as a class shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if it shall have been given in writing by the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/³%) of the outstanding Preferred Shares or by a resolution



65



 passed at a meeting of holders of Preferred Shares duly called and held upon not less than fifteen days’ notice at which the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are present or are represented by proxy and carried by the affirmative vote of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the votes cast at such meetings, in addition to any other consent or approval required by the Business Corporation Act.  If at any such meeting the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such date not less than fifteen days thereafter and to such time and place as may be designatedby the Chairman, and not less than ten days’ written notice shall be given of such adjournedadjourn ed meeting.  At such adjourned meeting the holders of the Preferred Shares present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened and a resolution passed by the affirmative vote of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the votes cast at such meeting shall constitute the consent or approval of the holders of Preferred Shares.  On every poll taken at every meeting, every holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each share held.  Subject to the foregoing, the formalities to be observed in respect of the giving or waiving of noti cenotice of any such meeting and the conduct thereof shall be those from time to time prescribed in the Bylaws of the Corporation with respect to meetings of shareholders.  Any consent or approval given by the holders of Preferred Shares or a series as a class shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in the same manner as provided herein regarding holders of Preferred Shares as a class.


d)Dividend Rights.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that holders of common shares shall be entitled to receive dividends and the Company shall pay dividends thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company out of moneys properly applicable to the payment of dividends, in such amount and in such form as the board of directors may from time to time determine and all dividends which the directors may declare on the common shares shall be declared and paid in equal amounts per share on all common shares at the time outstanding, subject to the prior rights of any shares ranking senior to the common shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends.


e)Voting Rights.  Neither the Company’s Bylaws nor its Articles of Incorporation provide for the election or re-election of directors at staggered intervals.


f)Redemption Provisions.  The Company may purchase any of its issued common shares subject to the provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act.


g)Sinking Fund Provisions.  Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain sinking fund provisions.



66



h)Liability to Further Capital Calls by the Company.  Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain provisions allowing the Company to make further capital calls with respect to any shareholder of the Company.


i)Discriminatory Provisions Based on Substantial Ownership.  Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain provisions that discriminate against any existing or prospective holders of securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.


57


j)Miscellaneous Provisions.  Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company address the process by which the rights of holders of stock may be changed.  The general provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act apply to this process, and require shareholder meetings and independent voting for such changes.


A meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by resolution or by the Chairman of the Board or by the President and the Secretary shall cause notice of a meeting of shareholders to be given when directed so to do by resolution of the board or by the Chairman or the Board or the President.


The board shall call an annual meeting of the shareholders not later than eighteen (18) months after the Corporation comes into existence and subsequently not later than fifteen (15) months after holding the last preceding annual meeting.


A special meeting of shareholders may be called at any time and may be held in conjunction with an annual meeting of shareholders.


Meeting of shareholders shall be held at the place within Canada determined by the board from time to time.  Notwithstanding the above subsection, a meeting of shareholders may be held outside Canada if all the shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting so agree, and a shareholder who attends a meeting of shareholders held outside Canada is deemed to have so agreed except when he attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully held.


Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company discuss limitations on the rights to own securities or exercise voting rights thereon.


Although not expressly enumerated in the Articles, pursuant to Canadian regulations, shareholder ownership must be disclosed by any shareholder who owns more than 10% of the Company’s common stock.


There is no provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition, or corporate



67



restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries). The

Company’s Bylaws do not contain a provision indicating the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. With respect

to the matters discussed in this Item 10B, the law applicable to the Company is not significantly different from United States law.  Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws contain provisions governing changes in capital that are more stringent than the conditions required by law.


The Ontario Business Corporations Act contains provisions that require a "special resolution" for effecting certain corporate actions.  Such a "special resolution" requires a three-quarters vote of shareholders rather than a simple majority for passage.  The principle corporate actions for which the Company would require a "special resolution" include:


a.  Changing its name;

b.  Changing the place where its registered office is situated;

c.  Adding, changing or removing any restriction on the business

    or businesses that the corporation may carry on;

d.  Certain reorganizations of the corporation and alterations of

    share capital;

58


e.  Increasing or decreasing the number of directors or the

    minimum or maximum number of directors;

f.  Any amendment to its articles regarding constraining the

    issue or transfer of shares to persons who are not resident

    Canadians; and

g.  Dissolution of the corporation.


10.C.  Material Contracts


a.  Acquisition Agreements with Alpha Corporation, dated May 7, 1997

b.  Acquisition Agreements for CSVL, dated March 5, 1998

c.  Management Agreement with MPK Inc., dated May 1, 1997 and renewed on December 14, 1998 and November 26, 1999 and the renewal of November 26, 1999 amended dated July 3, 2000, July 1, 2001, July 1, 2002 and July 1, 2003

d.  Performance Shares Escrow Agreement,

    dated April 30, 1997 and May 7, 1997


10.D.  Exchange Controls


Except as discussed in ITEM #10.E., the Company is unaware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares.  The Company is unaware of any limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.



68



10.E.  Taxation


A brief description of provisions of the tax treaty between Canada and the United States is included below, together with a brief outline of certain taxes, including withholding provisions, to which United States security holders are subject under existing laws and regulations of Canada.  The consequences, if any, of provincial, state and local taxes are not considered.


Security holders should seek the advice of their own tax advisors, tax counsel or accountants with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of the matters referred to herein and of any provincial, state or local taxes.


Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences


The discussion under this heading relates to the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of common stock of the Company for a shareholder of the Company who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold shares of common stock of the Company as capital property for the purposes of theIncome Tax Act(Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”).  This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a “permanent establishment” situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the


59


shareholder’s holding in the Company is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base.  This information is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof.  This discussion is not a substitute for independent advice from a shareholder’s own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors.


The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Convention”).


Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income.  Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada.  The Convention limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the United States and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor-corporation.


The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would be equal to the amount by which the paid up or stated capital of the Company had increased because of the payment of such dividend.  The Company will furnish



69



additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend.  Interest paid or deemed to be paid on the Company’s debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.


The Convention exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the United States and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.


Dispositions of Common Shares.  Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of common stock of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  One-half of a capital gain (the “taxable capital gain”) is included in income, and one-half of a capital loss in a year (the “allowable capital loss”) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  The amount by which a shareholder’s allowable capital loss exceeds the taxable capital gain in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to adjustment when the capital gains inclusion rate in the ye aryear of disposition differs from the inclusion rate in the year the deduction is claimed.


60


If a share of common stock of the Company is disposed of to the Company other than in the open market in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by the public, the proceeds of disposition will, in general terms, be considered as limited to the paid-up capital of the share and the balance of the price paid will be deemed to be a dividend.  In the case of a shareholder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise determined may be reduced by the amount of dividends previously received in respect of the shares disposed of, unless the corporation owned the shares for at least 365 days prior to sustaining the loss and (together with corporations, persons and other entities, with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length) did not own more than five percent of the shares of any class of the corporation from which the di videnddividend was received. These loss limitation rulesru les may also apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owned the shares disposed of.


Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of “taxable Canadian property.”  Shares of common stock of the Company will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares incarrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years



70



immediately preceding the disposition 25 percent or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Company belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arm’s length.


The Convention relieves United States residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless (a) the value of the shares is derived principally from “real property” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production, (b) the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada, or (c) the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.


Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations


The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable.  This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  Holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal; state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.


U.S. Holders.  As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of shares of the Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, nonresident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conductc onduct of trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.



61


71



Distributions on Shares of the Company.Company.  U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits as defined under U.S. Federal tax law, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited against the U.S. Holder's United States Federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's United States Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions.  (See discussion that is more detailed at "Foreign Tax Credit" below).  To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earningse arnings and profits of the Co mpany,Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares.  Preferential tax rates for net capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.


Dividends paid on the shares of the Company are not expected to be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a "foreign personal holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company", as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company.  


In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. Dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S.Dollar value on the date of receipt.  Any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. Dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.  However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed U.S. $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip or as an expense for the production of income).


Foreign Tax Credit.  A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  It will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income subject to tax.  This election is made



72



on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year.  There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States Federal income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income.  In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources.  Complex rules govern this classification process.  There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as "passive income", "high withholding tax interest", "financial services income", and "shipping income"income&quo t;. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.


62


In the case of certain U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), owning 10% or more of the Company's Common Shares, a portion of the qualifying Canadian income tax paid by the Company will also be available as a foreign tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at the election of the U.S. Holder.


Disposition of Shares of the Company.  A U.S. Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder's tax basis in the shares of the Company.  This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the U.S. Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S or the Code) are deductible to the extent of capitalcap ital gains.  Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to U.S. $3,000 a year (U.S. $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately).  For U.S. Holders that are individuals, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.  For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.



73



Other Considerations


In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of shares of the Company:

Foreign Personal Holding Company.  If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Company's outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% (50% in subsequent years) or more of the Company's gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a "foreign personal holding company".  In that event, U.S. Holders that hold shares of the Company (on the earlier of the last day of the Company's tax year or the last date on which the Company was a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allowable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute suchsuc h income.


Foreign Investment Company.  If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company's outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701 (a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain.

63



Passive Foreign Investment Company.  As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Company will be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC"), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, if 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%.  Passive income is defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income.  Foreign mining companies that are in the exploration stage may have little or no income from operati onsfr om operations and/or may hold substantial cash and short-term securities that pay interest and dividends while awaiting expenditure in connection with the business.  Given the complexities of determining what expenditures may be deductible and of how assets held for production of active income should be valued, the Company, based on advice from its professional advisers, cannot conclude whether it is a PFIC.



74




It is not the intention of the Company to be considered a PFIC and the Company does not consider this to be a material risk.  In the event that it were to become classified as a PFIC, the following should be taken into consideration.  U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to a

special tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of U.S. tax attributable to undistributed earnings of a PFIC for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned.  This special tax would apply to any gain realized on the disposition of shares of a PFIC.  In addition, the gain is subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income, taxed at top marginal rates, rather than as capital gain income.  The special tax would also be payable on receipt of excess distributions (any distributions received in the current year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received duri ngduring the 3 preceding years or, if shorter, the shareholder's holding period).  If, however, the U.S. Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") with respect to such shareholder's interest and the Company provides an annual information statement, the above-described rules will not apply.  The Company will provide such an information statement upon request from a U.S. Holder for current and prior taxable years.  Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  A U.S. Holder of a PFIC treated as a QEF can, however, further elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income and gain inclusions, with tax payments ultimately requiring payment of an interest factor.  In addition, with a timely QEF election, the electing U.S. Holder will obtain ca pitalcapital gain treatment on the gain realized on disposition of such U.S. Holder’s interest in the PFIC.  Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.


Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”).  If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A U.S. Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market valuevalu e of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year



75



in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company

64



is a PFIC (“Non-Electing U.S. Holder”), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company will be increased

or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election.  A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.


The IRS has issued proposed regulations that would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  In such cases, the basis of the

Company's shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized.  A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed herein) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  The transferee's basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer.  The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the shares of the Company are transferred.  Each U.S.U .S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.


The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex.  U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.


Controlled Foreign Corporation.  If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company ("United States shareholder"), the Company could be treated as a "controlled foreign corporation" under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata share of "Subpart F income" (as specially defined by the Code) of the Company.  Subpart F requires current inclusions in the income of United States shareholders tot o the exte ntextent of a controlled foreign corporation's accumulated earnings invested in "excess passive" assets (as defined by the Code).  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, a gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of



76



earnings and profits of the Company attributable to the stock sold or

exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the U.S. Holders of shares of the Company, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.


If the Company is both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation,  the company will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation.  This rule will be effective for taxable years of the Company ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders.



Summary


Management believes this discussion covers all material tax consequences.  Nevertheless, this is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company Holders and prospective holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

10.F.  Dividends and Paying Agents


The Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares and does not anticipate that it will do so in the foreseeable future.  The present policy of the Company is to retain future earnings for use in its operations and the expansion of its business.


Notwithstanding the aforementioned: the Company is unaware of any dividend restrictions; has no specific procedure for the setting of the date of dividend entitlement; but might expect to set a record date for stock ownership to determine entitlement; has no specific procedures for non-resident holders to claim dividends, but might expect to mail their dividends in the same manner as resident holders.  The Company has not nominated any financial institutions to be the potential paying agents for dividends in the United States.
