ITEM 1. IDENTITY OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORS~~Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisors~~

Lingo Media Corporation (“Lingo Media” or the “Company”) is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of ~~Ontario and its~~Ontario. Its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and ~~inter-listed~~are traded on OTC Markets, previously on the OTCQB Marketplace. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2017 comprise the Company and its wholly owned ~~subsidiaries (the “Group”) consisted of~~subsidiaries: Lingo Learning Inc., ELL Technologies Ltd., Vizualize Technologies Corporation, ELL Technologies Limited, Speak2Me Inc., Parlo Corporation and Lingo Group Limited ~~and Parlo Corporation.~~(the “Group”).

Lingo Media is an EdTech company that is ~~‘Changing~~ ‘Changingthewaytheworldlearns ~~English’~~English’. The Company provides online and print-based solutions through its two distinct business units: ELL Technologies Ltd. (“ELL Technologies”) and Lingo Learning Inc. (“Lingo Learning”). ELL Technologies is a global English language learning multi-media and online training company. Lingo Learning is a print-based publisher of English language learning school programs in China.

The head office, principal address and registered and records office of the Company is located at 151 Bloor Street West, Suite 703, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1S4.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

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

The following data for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, ~~2013, 2012~~ and ~~2011~~2013 is derived from our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS ~~(and~~as issued by the ~~data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 is derived from our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP)~~IASB and all are expressed in Canadian Dollars.

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 U.S. Dollar (USD).

The table sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian Dollar at the end of the five most recent fiscal periods ended December 31^st, 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.

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are as follows:

Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. The Company’s Management oversees these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks are as follows:

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in underlying foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk as certain expenditures are denominated in non-Canadian Dollar currencies.

A 10% strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar as at December 31, 2017 would have increased the net equity by approximately ~~$228,000 (2014~~$67,000 (2016 - ~~$90,000)~~$294,858) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar at December 31, ~~2015~~2017 would have had the equal but opposite effect. The significant financial instruments of the Company, their carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as of December 31, ~~2015~~2017 are as follows:

The carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of December 31, ~~2014~~2016 are as follows:

The Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasts of cash expenditures to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally have maturities of less than 90 days. At December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, the Company had cash of ~~$409,022 (2014~~$327,434 (2016 - ~~$477,001)~~$84,303), accounts and grants receivable of ~~$1,961,534 (2014~~$970,467 (2016 - ~~$849,344) and prepaid and other receivables of $488,154 (2014- $85,071)~~$3,044,928) to settle current liabilities of ~~$1,186,167 (2014~~$980,318 (2016 - ~~$1,679,482)~~$731,158).

Credit risk refers to the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counterparty by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the reported amounts of these financial assets. Credit risk is managed by ongoing review of the amount and aging of accounts receivable balances. As at December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, the Company has outstanding receivables of ~~$1,961,534 (2014- $849,344)~~$970,467 (2016- $3,044,928). An allowance for doubtful accounts is taken on accounts receivable if the account has not been collected after a predetermined period of time as determined by the contract and collectability is offset against other operating expenses. The Company deposits its cash with high credit quality financial institutions, with the majority deposited within Canadian Tier 1 Banks.

The Company ~~has~~had sales to a major customer in ~~2015~~2017 and ~~2014,~~2016, a government agency of the People’s Republic of China. The total percentage of sales to this customer during the year was ~~39% (2014 – 65%~~59% (2016 –54%, ~~2013 – 75%~~2015 –39%) and the total percentage of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2017 was 84% (2016 – 52%, 2015 ~~was~~– 45% ~~(2014 – 84%, 2013 – 68%~~).

In 2015 and 2014, the Company has sales to an online education services distribution company. The total percentage of sales to this customer during the year was 50% (2014 – 9%) and the total percentage of accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 was 50% (2014 – nil).

Lingo Media believes that the global market trends in English language learning are strong and will continue to grow at a rapid pace. Developing countries around the world, specifically in Latin America and Asia are expanding their mandates for the teaching of English amongst students, young professionals and adults.

The British Council suggests that there are 1.6 Billion people learning English globally. English language learning products and services are a US$56.3 Billion global market notes Ambient Insight, who also forecasts digital English learning expenditures to account for US$3.1 Billion by 2018.

Markets and Markets forecasts the global EdTech market to grow from US$43.27 Billion in 2015 to US$93.76 Billion to 2020, or at a CAGR or 16.72%.

GSV Advisors forecasts digital English learning product expenditures to be US$2.5 Billion (or 7.3%) of the global market by 2016, with Latin America representing approximately US$260.9 Million of that figure. Students attending English language training (“ELT”) classes in Latin America accounted for approximately 14 per cent of worldwide revenues, or US$321-million in 2013. Growth has been very rapid in the region, and represents a particularly strong opportunity moving forward relative to other geographic regions. The remaining market for ELT is largely concentrated in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (45 per cent of revenues or US$1.04-billion) and the Asia Pacific region (35 per cent of revenues or US$825-million).

Lingo Media is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the market opportunity for teaching English in Latin America and Asia, with its scalable web-based learning technology and solutions. Although the market outlook remains positive, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue or that the Company will benefit from this trend.

We operate in competitive and evolving markets locally, nationally and globally. These markets are subject to rapid technological change and changes in customer preferences and demand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain market acceptance or compete for market share. We must be able to keep current with the rapidly changing technologies, to adapt our services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of our services. New technologies could enable competitive product offerings and adversely affect us and our failure to adapt to such changes could seriously harm our business.

Our success as a business depends, in part, on our ability to provide consistently high quality online services to users via the delivery infrastructure. There is no guarantee that the Company’s delivery infrastructure and/or its software will not experience problems or other performance issues. If the delivery infrastructure or software fails or suffers performance problems, then it would likely affect the quality and interrupt the continuation of our services and significantly harm the business.

The Company’s delivery infrastructure is susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss and sabotage, as well as interruptions from technology malfunctions, computer viruses and hacker attacks. Other potential service interruptions may result from unanticipated demands on network infrastructure, increased traffic or problems in customer service. Significant disruptions in the delivery infrastructure could harm the Company’s goodwill and its brands and ultimately could significantly and negatively impact the amount of revenue it may earn from its service. Like all Internet transmissions, our services may be subject to interception and malicious attack. Pirates may be able to obtain or copy our products without paying fees. The delivery infrastructure is exposed to spam, viruses, worms, trojan horses, malware, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice. The Company uses security measures intended to make theft of its software more difficult. However, if the Company is required to upgrade or replace existing security technology, the cost of such security upgrades or replacements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and cash flows.

The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights. In addition, our success may depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patent protection and operate without infringing the rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that, once filed, the Company’s patent applications will be successful, that we will develop future proprietary products that are patentable, that any issued patents will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be successfully challenged by any third parties or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate some or all of our products or, if patents are issued, design their products so as to circumvent the patent protection held by the Company. We protect our product documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws which afford only limited protection. Despite precautions taken by the Company, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our business and marketing plans or future strategic documents or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that the Company’s means of protecting its proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar or superior technology. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the propriety rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, and there can be no guarantee of the ultimate success thereof.

The Company’s operations may be subject to Canadian and foreign provincial and/or state and federal regulations and licensing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the regulations or secure and maintain the required licensing for its operations. Government regulation and licensing could seriously impact our ability to achieve its financial and operational objectives. The Company is subject to local, provincial and/or state, federal, and international laws affecting companies conducting business on the Internet, including user privacy laws, laws giving special protection to children, regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices and laws addressing issues such as freedom of expression, pricing and access charges, quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. The restrictions imposed by and the costs of complying with, current and possible future laws and regulations related to its business could limit our growth and reduce client base and revenue.

The Company’s current and future development opportunities relate to geographical areas outside of Canada. There are a number of risks inherent in international business activities, including government policies concerning the import and export of goods and services, costs of localizing products and subcontractors in foreign countries, costs associated with the use of foreign agents, potentially adverse tax consequences, limits on repatriation of earnings, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, nationalization and possible social, labour, political and economic instability. There can be no assurance that such risks will not adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, a portion of expenditures and revenues will be in currencies other than the Canadian Dollar. Foreign exchange exposure may change over time with changes in the geographic mix of its business activities. Foreign currencies may be unfavourably impacted by global developments, country-specific events and many other factors. As a result, future results may be adversely affected by significant foreign exchange fluctuations.

Unfavorable economic and market conditions could increase our financing costs, reduce demand for our products and services, limit access to capital markets and negatively impact any access to future credit facilities. Expenditures by educational institution, government and corporation tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and purchasing patterns.

We may need to raise additional funds in order to finance our operations and growth strategy. The Company expects that corporate growth will be funded from cash flow equity and/or debt financing(s) to help generate any required 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 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 continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results.

The Company’s business plan is based upon numerous assumptions that may later prove to be incorrect. The Company’s ability to adhere to its business plan will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Likewise, the Company’s management is not bound to follow its business plan, and may elect to adopt other strategies and courses of action based upon changes in circumstances and/or market conditions. The Company cannot assure that the actual results of the Company’s operations will materially conform to its business plan.

The success of the Company is highly dependent on the skills, experience and successful performance of the Company’s management team. The loss of such services could adversely affect development of the Company’s business, revenues, cash flows and profitability.

The Company must expand its business to achieve greater profitability. Any further expansion of the Company’s business may strain its current managerial, financial, operational, and other resources. Success in managing this expansion and growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage growth effectively. Any failure to do so may lead to inefficiencies and redundancies, and result in reduced growth prospects. As a result, the Company’s profitability, if any, may be curtailed or eliminated.

The Company relies on third parties for the timely supply of maintenance services. Although the Company actively manages these third party relationships to ensure continuity of services on time and to its required specifications, some events beyond its control could result in the complete or partial failure of services or services not being delivered on time. Any such failure could negatively affect the Company’s operating results.

The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LM", and on the ~~OTCQB~~OTC Markets under the symbol “LMDCF”.

Our common shares are quoted on the ~~OTCQB~~OTC Marketplace; a FINRA sponsored and operated quotation system for equity securities. It is a more limited trading market than the NASDAQ, 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 ~~OTCQB~~OTC Marketplace, 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 NASDAQ 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, ~~OTCQB~~OTC 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.

There is Uncertainty as to the Company’s Shareholders’ Ability to Enforce Civil Liabilities Both Within 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, Hong Kong, China, and the United Kingdom and representative office in China. In addition, all 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.

Lingo Media (“Lingo Media,” the “Company,” “we” or ”us”) is an EdTech company that is ‘Changing the way the world learns English’ through the combination of education with technology. The Company is focused on online and print-based technologies and solutions through its two subsidiaries: Lingo Learning Inc. (Lingo Learning”) and ELL Technologies Ltd. (“ELL Technologies”). Through its two distinct business units, Lingo Media develops, markets and supports a suite of English language learning solutions consisting of web-based software licensing subscriptions, online and professional services, audio practice tools and multi-platform applications. The Company continues to operate its legacy textbook publishing business from which it collects recurring royalty revenues.

Lingo Media’s two distinct business units include ELL Technologies and Lingo Learning. ELL Technologies is a global web-based educational technology (“EdTech”) English language learning training and assessment company that creates innovative Software-as-a-Service eLearning solutions. Lingo Learning is a print-based publisher of English language learning textbook programs in China. Lingo Media has formed successful relationships with key government and industry organizations, establishing a strong presence in China’s education market of more than 300 million students. The Company is extending its global reach, with an initial market expansion into Latin America and continues to expand its product offerings and technology applications.

As of December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, the Company operated two distinct business segments as follows:

The Company continues to maintain its legacy textbook publishing business through Lingo Learning, a print-based publisher of English language learning programs in China since 2001. Lingo Learning has an established presence in China’s education market of over 300 million students. To date, it has co-published more than ~~550~~600 million units from its library of program titles.

Lingo Media has spent 1517 years developing English Language Learning (ELL), 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 ELL books, 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 in extensive marketing of Lingo Media’s programs.

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”) a division of China's State Ministry of Education, publishes more than 60% of educational materials for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (“K-12”) market throughout China, for all subjects, including English Language Learning. PEP has a readership of more than 120 million students. Lingo Learning has two programs with PEP. These series target the elementary market of 100 million students:PEP Primary English (for Grades 3-6; Chinese students now begin learning English in Grade 3); andStarting Line (Grades 1-6); All series include the core textbooks in addition to supplemental activity books, audiocassettes, teacher resource books, and other materials.

The Company may experience some seasonal trends in the sale of its publications. For example, sales of educational published materials experience seasonal fluctuations with higher sales in the Spring (second calendar quarter) and Fall (fourth calendar quarter).

ELL Technologies, acquired in 2010, now offers over 2,000 hours of interactive learning through a number of product offerings that includeWinnie’s World, English Academy, Scholar,Campus,English for Success, Master and~~Business~~English for Success (targeting Corporations), in addition to offering custom solutions. ELL Technologies is primarily marketed in Latin America through a network of distributors and earns its revenues from licensing and subscription fees from its suite of web-based EdTech language learning products and applications.

To further leverage its Speak2Me lesson and technology platform, the Company acquired Parlo in 2009 to expand its online offerings to include fee-based spoken English training solutions for corporations, governments, and educational institutions. This fee-based training service incorporates a reporting platform in the form of a Learning Management System for human resources administrators. Parlo’s spoken language learning platform has now been integrated into ELL Technologies.

~~At the time of the acquisition,~~ ELL Technologies had an extensive existing product line which required substantial revisions in the technology platform and user interface. Over the past ~~few~~three years, our development team has engineered an eLearning platform and has been introducing new products to the market since the beginning of 2015, integrating cutting-edge technologies, solutions, content and pedagogy.

ELL Technologies’ high-tech, easy to implement eLearning software-as-a-Service solutions have positioned the Company to teach the world English. As a result of ongoing investment into product development, we are able to provide learners of all ages and levels of English proficiency with a platform to further their language learning development.

The Company has office equipment, furniture and computer equipment located in these offices and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, ~~2013, 2012,~~ and ~~2011,~~2013, they have a net carrying value of $30,689, $27,488, $28,879, $24,806, ~~$31,926, $38,356,~~ and ~~$48,321,~~$31,926, respectively.

The following discussion for the fiscal years ended December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, December 31, ~~2014,~~2016, and December 31, ~~2013~~2015 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereon.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described herein and in other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as provided in note 4. The comparative figures presented in these consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the same accounting policies.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries controlled by the Company (the “Group”) as at December 31, ~~2015.~~2017. Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect these returns through its power over the entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from inter-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Group. These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of ELL Technologies Limited and Lingo Group Limited are United States Dollar (“USD”). All other subsidiaries’ functional currency is Canadian Dollar (“CAD”).

The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period.

Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

~~● Determination of the recoverability of the carrying value of intangibles and goodwill~~

Revenue from fee-based English language training and assessment services and licenses are recognized upon delivery based on the terms of the agreement and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectability is reasonably assured.

When the outcome of long-term service contracts cannot be reliably estimated, all contract related costs are expensed and revenues are recognized only to the extent that those costs are recoverable. When the uncertainties that prevented reliable estimation of the outcome of a contract no longer exist, contract revenue and expenses are recognized using the stage of completion method based on milestones achieved.

Revenue from royalty and licensing sales is recognized based on confirmation of finished products produced by the Company’s co-publishing partners and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenue from audiovisual products is recognized based on the confirmation of sales by its co-publishing partners, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenues are not subject to right of return or product warranties. Revenue from the sale of published and supplemental products is recognized upon delivery and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company does not recognize non-monetary revenues until the service received is ~~exchange~~exchanged and the amount can be reliably estimated. Non-monetary revenues are measured at the fair value of services received.

Comprehensive income (loss) measures net earnings for the period plus other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of changes in equity from non-owner sources, such as changes to foreign currency translation adjustments of foreign operations during the period. Amounts reported as other comprehensive income are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. ~~Amortization~~Depreciation is provided using methods outlined below at rates intended to amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives.

The Company capitalizes all costs related to the development of its fee-based English Language Learning products and services when the feasibility and profitability of the project can be reasonably considered certain. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of material, and direct labour. Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense as incurred. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The software and web development cost are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset, which is estimated to be 3 years.

The Company capitalizes all costs related to content development of its fee-based English Language Learning products and services when the feasibility and profitability of the project can be reasonably considered certain. Expenditure on content development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of material, and direct labour. Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense as incurred. Capitalized content development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The content development costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset, which is estimated to be 5 years.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of an acquired business.

The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the venture, less the net recognized amount (fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in net profit.

The Company elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value, or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

The Company receives government grants based on certain eligibility criteria for book publishing industry development in Canada. These government grants are recognized quarterly and are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the ~~grant.~~grant during the period in which the criteria to receive the grant is met. The Company records a liability for the repayment of the grants and a charge to operations in the period in which conditions arise that will cause the government grants to be repayable.

Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred taxation is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

However, the deferred taxation is not recognized if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred taxation is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the historical exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Financial statements of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures for which the functional currency is not the Canadian Dollar are translated into the Canadian Dollar as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the balance sheet exchange rate and all earnings and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation differences recognized in equity are reclassified to the statement of comprehensive income and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into Canadian Dollars at the balance sheet rate.

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive ~~income in accumulated other comprehensive~~ income.

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, including contingently issuable shares which are included when the conditions necessary for issuance have been met. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include potentially issuable common shares from the assumed exercise of common share purchase options and warrants, if dilutive.

The share-based compensation plan allows the Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of share-based payment awards granted is recognized as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes (direct employee) or provides services similar to those performed by a direct employee.

Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the period during which the share purchase options vest. The fair value of the share-based payment awards granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of awards, for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met.

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which cases, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

All financial instruments are recorded initially at fair value. In subsequent periods, all financial instruments are measured based on the classification adopted for the financial instrument: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”); held to maturity; loans and receivables; and available for sale or other liability.

Financial assets: FVTPL assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in net income during the period.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities: Other liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Costs that are directly attributable to a financial instrument’s origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption, are included in the fair value adjustment of the financial instrument. These costs are amortized over the life of the financial instrument.

The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet consist of cash, which is measured at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period.

An impairment loss, other than goodwill impairment, is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company’s share of identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to each cash generating unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the related business combination. A group of CGUs represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which is not higher than an operating segment.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination ~~ofthe~~of the profit or loss on disposal. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

Leases are classified as either finance or operating. Leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset to the Company are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rental payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From time to time, the Company may issue warrants as a means of raising capital. The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of warrants are recognized in equity as a reduction of the proceeds from warrants. In the event that warrants are exercised, the fair value of the warrants issued is reclassified from warrants to share capital. In the event that warrants expire unexercised, their value is transferred from warrants to share- based payment reserve.

Financial information for the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, ~~2014, 2013~~ and ~~2012~~2014 was prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Lingo Media makes applications to the Canadian government for various types of grants to support its publishing and international marketing activities. Each year, the amount of any grant may vary depending on certain eligibility criteria (including prior year revenues) and the monies available to and the number of eligible candidates. These government grants are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the grant. During the year, the Company recorded ~~$211,729~~$232,413 of such grants.

One government grant for the print-based English language learning segment is repayable in the event that the segment’s annual net income before tax for ~~each of~~the current year and the previous two years exceeds 15% of ~~revenue~~revenue. During 2017 and ~~at such time a liability would be recorded. During the year ended December 31, 2015,~~2016, the conditions for the repayment of ~~the government grant were~~grants did not ~~met~~arise and no liability was recorded.

One grant, relating to the Company’s “Development of Comprehensive, Interactive Phonetic English Learning Solution” project, is repayable semi-annually at a royalty rate of 2.5% per year’s gross sales derived from this project until 100% of the grant is repaid. No royalty was paid in ~~2015, 2014~~2017, 2016 or ~~2013~~2015 as no sales were generated from this project.

Total comprehensive loss for the Company was $6,262,792 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to a total comprehensive income of $124,420 in 2016. Total comprehensive loss can be attributed to the two operating segments as shown below:

The Company amortizes share-based payments with a corresponding increase to the contributed surplus account. During 2017, the Company recorded an expense of $371,513 compared to $Nil in 2016.

The Company recorded foreign exchange loss of $189,783 as compared to $146,599 in 2016, relating to the Company's currency risk through its activities denominated in foreign currencies as the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a significant portion of its revenue and expenses are denominated in Chinese Renminbi and US Dollars.

The Company recorded a tax expense of $178,022 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to a tax expense of $187,705 in 2016. This tax is a withholding tax paid on revenues earned in China and repatriated outside of China.

The Company reported a net loss of $6,261,382 for the year as compared to $64,247 in 2016. The loss per share is $0.18 per share and is primarily due to an impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of $2,087,700 and development costs of $2,692,009 in addition to recording an allowance for bad debts of $732,254. The impairment arose primarily as a result of the weakened market conditions on the forecast of the online English Language Learning segment.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016 vs. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015

Revenues from print-based English language learning for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $1,738,800 compared to $1,971,121 for fiscal 2015, a decrease of 12%.

The Company continues to maintain its relationship with Peoples’ Education Press and is investing in the development of its existing and new programs and marketing activities to maintain and increase its royalty revenues.

In 2016, Lingo Media generated $1,456,421 in online English language learning revenue as compared to $2,954,614 in 2015. This revenue decrease from online English Language Learning is a result of a delay in a large project becoming a reference site for new customers in Latin America. The Company believe that once the SENA project goes “live” it will regain its sales momentum.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,364,736 in fiscal 2016 compared to $1,059,703 for fiscal 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the two segments are segregated below.

Selling, general and administrative cost for print-based publishing increased from $721,947 in 2015 to $739,224 in 2016 due to the increase in sales, marketing and admin, travel, rent and professional fees offset against a reduction in consulting fees & salaries and an increase in government grants. The following is a breakdown of selling, general and administrative costs directly related to print-based English language learning:

Selling, general and administrative costs related to online English language learning was $625,512 for the year compared to $337,756 in 2015.

During 2016 and 2015, the conditions for the repayment of grants did not arise and no liability was recorded.

One grant, relating to the Company’s “Development of Comprehensive, Interactive Phonetic English Learning Solution” project, is repayable semi-annually at a royalty rate of 2.5% per year’s gross sales derived from this project until 100% of the grant is repaid. No royalty was paid in 2016, 2015 or 2014 as no sales were generated from this project.

While the Company will continue to apply for various government grants to fund its ongoing development and market expansion, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in obtaining these grants in the future or that the Company will meet the eligibility requirements for the grants or that the grant programs will continue to be offered.

Total comprehensive income for the Company was ~~$2,374,699~~$124,420 for the year ended December 31, ~~2015~~2016 as compared to a total comprehensive ~~loss~~income of ~~$107,406~~$2,374,699 in ~~2014.~~2015.

Each year, the amount of any grant may vary depending on certain eligibility criteria (including prior year revenues) and the monies available to and the number of eligible candidates.

~~These government grants are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the grant. During the year, the Company recorded $241,465 of such grants.~~

One government grant for the print-based English language learning segment is repayable in the event that the segment’s annual net income for each of the previous two years exceeds 15% of revenue and at such time a liability would be recorded. During the year, the conditions for the repayment of the government grant were not met and no liability was recorded.

One grant, relating to the Company’s “Development of Comprehensive, Interactive Phonetic English Learning Solution” project, is repayable semi-annually at a royalty rate of 2.5% per year’s gross sales derived from this project until 100% of the grant is repaid. No royalty was paid in 2014, 2013 or 2012 as no sales were generated from this project.

During 2008, Lingo Media was audited by a government grant agency and was assessed with a repayment of $115,075 relating to a publishing grant. In 2010, the Company was reassessed with a reduction to the repayment to $100,000 which is recorded in accrued liabilities and this audit finding was appealed by the Company. In 2013, the appeal was approved and the liability was reduced to $16,263, which was paid, and the difference of $87,737 was recorded as grant during the year.

Total comprehensive income for the Company was $107,408 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to total comprehensive loss of ($56,331) in 2013. The profit can be attributed to the two operating segments and other financial costs as shown below:

During the year, the Company continued to invest in product development and redesigned its fee-based online training products. The majority of its expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, detailed above. The profit was achieved as a result of an increase in revenue and a decrease of expenditures related to cost rationalization, and reduced financial expenses and share-based payments.

The Company amortizes share-based payments with a corresponding increase to the contributed surplus account. During 2014, the Company recorded an expense of $65,663 compared to $61,926 during 2013. The increase in this expense is due to stock options granted and vested in 2014.

The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $106,437 as compared to a gain of $134,444 in fiscal 2013, relating to the Company's currency risk through its activities denominated in foreign currencies. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a significant portion of its revenue and expenses are denominated in US Dollars, European Euros, and Chinese Renminbi.

The Company recorded a tax expense of $269,119 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a tax expense of $241,666 in 2013. This tax is a withholding tax paid on revenues earned in China and repatriated outside of China and increased as a result of the increase in revenue.

The Company reported an increase in net profit of $144,013 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $22,943 in 2013, an operational improvement of $121,070. This improvement in profitability is primarily attributed to increase in revenue accompanied by a proportionate increase in direct costs.

Specific Minimum Listing Requirements for each industry segment in each of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 have also been established by the Exchange.

Policy 2.1 of the Exchange outlines the Minimum Listing Requirements for each industry segment in Tier 1 and Tier 2. Under this policy, Lingo Media Corporation is a Tier 2 Issuer in the industry segment category of Junior Industrial. Each industry segment is further divided into categories. Quantitative minimum requirements for listing for the industry segment Junior Industrial and Tier 2 are provided in Section 4.3 of Exchange Policy 2.1.

Similarly, Policy 2.5 of the Exchange sets out the minimum standards to be met by Issuers to continue to qualify for listing in each Tier, referred to as Tier Maintenance Requirements (“TMR”). A Tier 2 Issuer which fails to meet one of the Tier 2 TMR will not automatically be suspended or designated as “Inactive”. Rather, the Exchange will provide notice of failure to meet one of the Tier 2 TMR and will allow the Issuer 6 months from the date of notice to meet the requirement, failing which the Exchange may designate the Issuer as Inactive. If a Tier 2 Issuer fails to meet more than one Tier 2 TMR, notice will be given to the Issuer by the Exchange and if the requirements are not met within 90 days of the notice, the Exchange will designate the Issuer as Inactive and apply the restrictions on Inactive Issuers retroactively. An Inactive Issuer may continue to trade on Tier 2 of the Exchange for 18 months from the date it is designated as Inactive. If the Issuer does not meet all of the applicable Tier 2 TMR within that 18 month period, its listed shares may be suspended from trading by the Exchange.

To maintain a listing as an active Tier 2 Issuer, an Issuer must meet all Tier 2 TMR for its industry segment as set out in Section 4 of the Exchange Policy 2.5.

The Company’s corporation number as assigned by the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations is 4020-1165. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation do not contain the Company’s purpose or its objectives, as neither is required under the laws of Ontario.

No director of the Company is permitted to vote on any resolution to approve a material contract or transaction in which such director has a material interest.

Subject to the Articles of Incorporation and any unanimous shareholder agreement, the board may fix their remuneration.

The board may by resolution delegate all or any of the powers conferred on them by paragraphs (i) and (iii) of section 3.10 of the bylaws, to any one or more of the directors, the Managing Director, the executive committee, the Chairman of the Board (if any), the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, any Assistant Secretary, any Assistant Treasurer or the General Manager.

Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company discuss the retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement, and there is no number of shares required for director qualification.

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 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:

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.

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.

IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the US Internal Revenue Service, please be advised that any information on U.S. federal taxation contained in this report (including any exhibit hereto) is not intended or written to be used or relied upon, and cannot be used or relied upon, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

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 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 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 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 year of disposition differs from the inclusion rate in the year the deduction is claimed.

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 dividend was received. These loss limitation rules 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 in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years 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.

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 conduct 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.

Distributions on Shares of the 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 earnings and profits of the 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 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". 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.

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 capital 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.

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 such 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.

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 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.

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 during 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 capital 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 value 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 in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company 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. 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 to the extent 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 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.

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.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk as certain expenditures are denominated in non-Canadian Dollar currencies.

A 10% strengthening of the US dollars against Canadian dollars would have increased the net equity by approximately ~~$228,000 (2014~~$67,000 (2016 - ~~$90,000)~~$294,858) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at December 31, ~~2015~~2017 would have had the equal but opposite effect. The significant financial instruments of the Company, their carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as of December 31, ~~2015~~2017 are as follows:

The carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of December 31, ~~2014~~2016 are as follows:

The Company operates one segment of its business in China, and a substantial portion of our operating expenses are in Canadian dollars, whereas our revenue from co-publishing agreements are primarily in Renminbi which is first converted to US dollars then to Canadian dollars.

A significant adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollars relative to US dollars or Renminbi to US dollars could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies, as they are not material at this time.

Item 14. Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

15.A. As of the end of the period covered by this report ("Date of Evaluation"), an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

The following pronouncements issued by the IASB and interpretations published by IFRIC will become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, ~~2016~~2018

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements was amended by the IASB in December 2014. The amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements. For example, the amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that companies should use professional judgement in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures. Earlier application is permitted.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers was issued by the IASB in May 2014. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. Earlier application is permitted. IFRS 15 supersedes the following standards: IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty ~~Programs,~~Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC-31 Revenue—Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was issued by the IASB in July 2014 and will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. A new hedge accounting model is introduced and represents a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting which will allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in the financial statements. The most significant improvements apply to those that hedge non-financial risk, and so these improvements are expected to be of particular interest to non-financial institutions. Earlier application is permitted.

~~The Company has not yet completed its evaluations of the effect of adopting the above standards and the impact it may have~~Effective for Periods Beginning on ~~its consolidated financial statements.~~or after January 1, 2019

IFRS 16, Leases replaces IAS 17, Leases and related interpretations. The core principle is that a lessee recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments (including inflation-linked payments), and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. The new standard is intended to provide a faithful representation of leasing transactions, in particular those that do not currently require the lessees to recognize an asset and liability arising from an operating lease. IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted for entities that would also apply IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

15.B. ~~There have been no changes that have materially affected,~~IFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers is required to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or ~~that is reasonably likely to affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Annual Report.~~after January 1, 2018.

On January 1, 2018, the Company will adopt on a fully retrospective basis the new rules under IFRS 15 which specifies how and when an entity should recognize revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles-based, five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers.

In addition, under IFRS 15, certain costs, mainly sales commissions, to obtain a contract will be capitalized and amortized as operating expenses over the contract term or over the period of time the customer is expected to remain a customer of the Company. Currently, such costs are expensed as incurred. The Company will capitalize these costs and subsequently amortize the capitalized costs over a period of time that is consistent with the transfer of the related good or service to the customer. Capitalized costs, net of accumulated amortization, will be included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. If the incremental cost incurred exceeds payments made, the accrued cost will be included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities”.

The retroactive adoption of IFRS 15 will have no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments is required to be applied retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

On January 1, 2018, the Company will adopt the new rules under IFRS 9 which simplifies the measurement and classification of financial assets by reducing the number of measurement categories in IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard also provides for a fair value option in the designation of a non-derivative financial liability and its related classification and measurement, as well as for a new hedge accounting model more closely aligned with risk-management activities undertaken by entities.

The adoption of IFRS 9 will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currencytranslation

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency at the transaction date exchange rate. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the reporting date exchange rate. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the historical exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Financial statements of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures for which the functional currency is not the Canadian Dollar are translated into the Canadian Dollar as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the balance sheet exchange rate and all earnings and expense accounts and cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation the cumulative translation differences recognized in equity are reclassified to the statement of comprehensive income (loss) and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity have been treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into Canadian Dollars at the balance sheet rate.

Foreign exchange gains or losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future and which in substance is considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation, are recognized in other comprehensive income ~~in accumulated other comprehensive income.~~(loss).

Share-based compensation plan(Cont’d)

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions with non-employees, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which cases, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

4.12

Financial instruments

Financial assets: FVTPL assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in net ~~income~~profit during the period.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities: Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are costs that are directly attributable to a financial instrument’s origination, acquisition, issuance or assumption, are included in the fair value adjustment of the financial instrument. These costs are amortized over the life of the financial instrument.

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

FinancialInstrument	Classification
Cash	FVTPL
Accounts and grants receivable	Loans and receivables
Accounts payable	Other financial liabilities
Accrued liabilities	Other financial liabilities
Loans payable	Other financial liabilities

Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Impairment of long-livedassets

The Company’s property and equipment and intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for an indication of impairment at each balance sheet date. The Company’s intangible assets that have an indefinite life or are not ready for use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or at any time if an indicator of impairment exists. If indication of impairment exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the period.

Effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers was issued by the IASB in May 2014. The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. Earlier application is permitted. IFRS 15 supersedes the following standards: IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and SIC-31 Revenue—Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

The Company began commercial production and sale of its services and products during 2009. In ~~2015,~~2017, the Company ~~focused~~continued to focus on the redesign and upgrade of its ELL Technologies’ suite of products and ~~invested$2,071,440 (2014~~invested $Nil (2016 - ~~$544,635)~~$1,798,687). The ELL Technologies’ suite of products includes five different products, each designed to suit the needs of different demographic groups. Although the full suite of product is not yet complete, the Company has started the commercial production and sale of three of these products.

The Company previously capitalized all development costs related to its software web development, content platform, and content development through to December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, there was uncertainty with respect to feasibility and profitability of the projects due to sales not achieving forecast levels and a resulting decline in expected future cash flows from their intended use. Consequently, the benefit of these development costs may not be realized as soon as previously expected and, as such, the costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 were expensed rather than capitalized as they did not meet the criteria for capitalization. Furthermore, management carried out an impairment test for the unamortized development costs as at December 31, 2017. The recoverable amount of the CGU that included these development costs was tested for impairment as discussed in Note 9 – Goodwill.

On May 13, 2010, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of ELL Technologies Limited for an aggregate purchase price of $1,385,000. The transaction price was allocated to various assets including goodwill of $139,618.

The recoverable amount of each CGU is based on a value in use computation. The cash flow forecasts employed for this computation are extracted from a budget document approved by the Board of Directors, and specifically exclude incremental profits and other cash flows stemming from future acquisitions. The 2018 forecast cash flows are projected forward for five years using the same assumptions as those applied in the 2018 budget. A growth rate of 7% was used in the five year projected cash flow in 2017 (2016 – 8%) and a terminal value reflecting inflation of 2% (but no other growth) is applied to the year five cash flows. A present value of the future cash flows is calculated using a before-tax discount rate of 14.9% (2016 – 14.9%).

As a result of the Company’s annual impairment test, it was determined that impairment existed for the goodwill ascribed to the ELL Technologies CGU in 2017. The impairment arose primarily as a result of the weakened market conditions on the forecast of the ELL Technologies CGU. This created a goodwill impairment loss of $139,618 in 2017 (2016 - $nil) and an intangible asset (see note 8) impairment loss of $1,948,082 (2016 - $nil). The key assumption applied to determine the value in use were the updated cash flows. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2017, the recoverable amount of the ELL Technologies goodwill and intangible assets was less than their carrying value and as a result were fully impaired.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In December 2011, the Company amended its stock option plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan was established to provide an incentive to management (officers), employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan is limited to 4,108,635 common shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan, the 2005 Plan and the 2009 Plan, provided that the Board of Directors of the Company 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 that may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 2011 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 of the Company granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective income tax rate, which differs from the Canadian corporate income tax rate as follows:

										2017			2016			2015
	2015			2014			2013
Combined basic Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate		26.50	%		26.50	%		26.50	%		26.5	%		26.50	%		26.50	%

The tax effect of temporary differences representing deferred tax assets is as follows:

Net deferred tax assets		$	-		$	-			$	-		$	-

Deferred tax assets and liabilities will be impacted by changes in tax laws and rates. The effects of these changes are not currently determinable. In assessing whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, management considers whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Management considers projected taxable income, uncertainties related to the industry in which the Company operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has not recognized any benefit for these losses.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s ~~operating activities (when revenue or expense is~~monetary assets and liabilities denominated in ~~a different currency from~~currencies other than the ~~Company’s functional currency)~~Canadian Dollar and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk as certain expenditures are denominated in non-Canadian Dollar currencies.

The ~~company~~Company has been exposed to this fluctuation and has not implemented a program against these foreign exchange fluctuations.

A 10% strengthening of the US Dollars against Canadian Dollars would have increased the net equity by approximately ~~$228,000 (2014~~$67,000 (2016 - ~~$90,00)~~$294,858) due to reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US Dollar against Canadian Dollar at December 31, ~~2015~~2017 would have had the equal but opposite effect. The significant financial instruments of the Company, their carrying values and the exposure to other denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as of December 31, ~~2015~~2017 are as follows:

Liquidity Risk

The Company manages its liquidity risk by preparing and monitoring forecasts of cash expenditures to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally have maturities of less than 90 days. At December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, the Company had cash of ~~$409,022 (2014- $477,001)~~$327,434 (2016 - $84,303), accounts and grants receivable of ~~$1,961,534 (2014-$849,344) and prepaid and other receivables of $488,154 (2014~~$970,467 (2016 - ~~$85,071)~~$3,044,928) to settle current liabilities ~~of$1,186,167 (2013~~of $980,318 (2016 - ~~$1,679,482)~~$731,159).

~~16.5~~e.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the counterparty by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the reported amounts of these financial assets. Credit risk is managed by ongoing review of the amount and aging of accounts receivable balances. As at December 31, ~~2015,~~2017, the Company has outstanding receivables of ~~$1,961,534 (2014- $849,344)~~$970,467 (2016 - $3,044,928). An allowance for doubtful accounts is taken on accounts receivable if the account has not been collected after a predetermined period of time as determined by the contract and collectability is offset to other operating expenses. The Company deposits its cash with high credit quality financial institutions, with the majority deposited within Canadian Tier 1 Banks.

MAJOR CUSTOMER

The Company ~~has~~had sales to a major customer in ~~2015~~2017 and ~~2014,~~2016, a government agency of the People’s Republic of China. The total percentage of sales to this customer during the year was ~~39% (2014~~59% (2016 – ~~65%~~54%, ~~2013~~2015 – ~~75%~~39%) and the total percentage of accounts receivable at December 31, 2017 was 84% (2016 – 52%, 2015 ~~was~~– 45% ~~(2014 – 84%, 2013 – 68%~~).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s primary objectives when managing capital are to (a) safeguard the Company’s ability to develop, market, distribute and sell English language learning products, and (b) provide a sound capital structure for raising capital at a reasonable cost for the funding of ongoing development of its products and new growth initiatives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company includes equity, comprised of issued share capital, warrants, share-based payments reserve and deficit, in the definition of capital. The Company is dependent on cash flow from co-publishing and licensing agreements and external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out planned development of its products and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There has been no change to the Company’s capital management from the approach used in ~~2014~~2017 or ~~2013.~~2016.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Lingo Learning earns royalty revenues from its key customer, People’s Education Press and People’s Education & Audio Visual Press (collectively “PEP”), who are China’s State Ministry of Education’s publishing arm, on the following basis:

●	Finished Product Sales – PEP prints and sells Lingo Learning’s English language training programs to provincial distributors in China; and

Lingo Media Corporation (TSX-V: LM; OTC: LMDCF) Management Discussion & Analysis

●	Licensing Sales – PEP licenses Lingo Learning’s English language training programs to provincial publishers who then print and sell the programs to provincial distributors in China.

Lingo Learning earns significantly higher royalties from Licensing Sales compared to Finished Product Sales.

In accordance with the co-publishing agreements between PEP and Lingo Learning, PEP pays to Lingo Learning a royalty on sales of textbooks and supplemental products called Finished Product Sales. In addition, PEP pays to Lingo Learning a percentage of their royalties earned on actual revenues called Licensing Sales. PEP provides Lingo Learning with sales reconciliations on a semi-annual basis, as their reporting systems are not able to provide quarterly sales information. Revenue is recognized upon the confirmation of such sales and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Royalty revenues from PEP’s audiovisual-based products are recognized quarterly upon the confirmation of sales, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenues are not subject to right of return or product warranties. Revenue from the sale of published and supplemental products is recognized upon delivery and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectability is reasonably assured.

ELL Technologies has ~~now~~ fully-integrated Parlo and Speak2Me into its offerings, and it earns training revenue by developing and hosting online English language learning solutions for its customers, both off the shelf and customized solutions. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the online courses to the end client through its distributor and when collectability is reasonably assured.

When the outcome of a contract cannot be reliably estimated, all contract related costs are expensed and revenues are recognized only to the extent that those costs are recoverable. When the uncertainties that prevented reliable estimation of the outcome of a contract no longer exist, contract revenue and expenses are recognized using the percentage of completion method.
