Common Shares; plus 5,076,407 issued CMI Shares (less the 24 issued CMI Shares held by Genterra which will be cancelled on the Amalgamation) shall be entitled to exchange their shares, on a 1 for 1 basis, into an aggregate of 5,076,383 Genterra Capital Inc. Common Shares.

(4)		Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act. The estimated maximum aggregate offering price is calculated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f) under the Securities Act, by multiplying (i) the estimated maximum number of shares of Genterra Capital Inc. common shares to be issued in the amalgamation by (ii) US$2.27, the average of the high and low prices of Genterra Inc. common shares on August 10, 2009, as reported on the TSX Venture Exchange, and the average of the high and low prices of CMI common shares on August 10, 2009, as reported on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

(5)		Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act. The estimated maximum aggregate offering price is calculated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f) under the Securities Act and based upon the book value of the Class A Preference Shares as of August 10, 2009.

(6)		Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act. The estimated maximum aggregate offering price is calculated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f) under the Securities Act and based upon the book value of the Class B Preference Shares as of August 10, 2009.

(7)		Computed in accordance with Section 6(b) under the Securities Act at a rate equal to $55.80 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT DATED [August 20, 2009], SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

PROSPECTUS OF GENTERRA CAPITAL INC.

To the Holders of Common Shares, Class A Preference Shares and Class B Preference Shares of Genterra Inc. and the Holders of Common Shares of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated:

This prospectus relates to the proposed amalgamation of Genterra Inc. (“Genterra”) and Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (“CMI”) pursuant to which Genterra and CMI will amalgamate (the “Amalgamation”) and continue as one corporation, Genterra Capital Inc. (“GCI”).

As discussed herein, Genterra and CMI have each called extraordinary shareholders meetings for the purpose of allowing their respective shareholders to determine whether to approve the Amalgamation. In respect of the Amalgamation, a registered shareholder of either Genterra or CMI who intends to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of section 185 of the Ontario Business Corporations Act (“OBCA”) which is attached to this Prospectus as Schedule 5. Failure to strictly comply with the provisions of that section and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights.

Based upon the advice of independent valuation experts, it had initially been proposed that each CMI Share be exchanged for 3.6 GCI Common Shares and each Genterra Common Share be exchanged for one GCI Common Share. Upon further consideration the respective boards of directors of CMI and Genterra determined that it will serve the best interests of the shareholders of each of the amalgamating companies to reduce the total number of GCI Common Shares to be issued upon the Amalgamation by effecting the share exchange on a basis whereby the value of each GCI Common Share is established as being equivalent to the value of the CMI Share. Accordingly each CMI Share will be exchanged for one GCI Common Share and each 3.6 Genterra Common Shares will be exchanged for one GCI Common Share. This modification to the share exchange does not change the relative valuations of CMI and Genterra, but the boards of directors of CMI and Genterra believe that the reduction in the total number of GCI Common Shares issued will enhance the prospects for an increased trading price for the GCI Common Shares and compliance with market listing requirements.

·	1 GCI Common Share for every 3.6 Genterra Common Shares issued and outstanding on the Effective Date;

1 GCI Class A Share for every 1 Genterra Class A Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date with the same terms as the Genterra Class A Shares being exchanged, except that the number of GCI Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each GCI Class A Share to be issued upon the Amalgamation shall be 5.56 (and not 20, as is the case in respect of the number of Genterra Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each Genterra Class A Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date);

·	1 GCI Class B Share for every one 1 Genterra Class B Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date with the same terms as the Genterra Class B Shares being exchanged;

·	1 GCI Common Share for every 1 CMI Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date.

Any fractional interests resulting from the foregoing transactions will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole GCI Security.

Following the Amalgamation, Genterra Shareholders and CMI Shareholders will hold approximately 51% and 49% of the outstanding GCI Common Shares, respectively. All of the GCI Class A Shares and GCI Class B Shares will be held by holders of the Genterra Class A Shares and Genterra Class B Shares, respectively. For information concerning GCI’s anticipated fully diluted share capital following the completion of the Amalgamation, see page 22.

The accompanying document provides a detailed description of the Amalgamation and is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and behalf of the management of Genterra and CMI for use at the special meetings of Genterra and CMI shareholders at the time and place and for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notices of Genterra and CMI Meetings and any adjournment thereof. You are urged to read these materials carefully. Please pay particular attention to the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 for a discussion of risks related to the Amalgamation. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, contact your broker, lawyer, accountant or other professional advisor without delay. You are receiving this document for your information only, in connection with GCI’s registration of its shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be illegal.

This prospectus is dated , 2009 and is expected to be first made available to shareholders of Genterra and CMI on or about that date.

Sincerely,

Stan Abramowitz

Currency Exchange Rates

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

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

The following table reflects the monthly high and low exchange rates for U.S.$1.00 to the Canadian dollar for the following periods.

Month	Year	High (CDN$)	Low (CDN$)
October	2008	1.2942	1.0607
November	2008	1.2850	1.1502
December	2008	1.2971	1.1962
January	2009	1.2749	1.1822
February	2009	1.2710	1.2190

June	2009	1.1640	1.0789
July	2009	1.1650	1.0791

The following table lists the average exchange rate for US$1.00 to the Canadian dollar for the last five years based on the average month-end exchange rates.

2004	1.344	1.269 / 1.4221	1.3296

The Amalgamation

Genterra and CMI have entered into an amalgamation agreement and propose to amalgamate into and continue their operations as an Ontario corporation to be named Genterra Capital Inc. (“GCI”). To effect the amalgamation, shares of GCI will be exchanged for outstanding non-dissenting shares of Genterra and CMI.

Accordingly, the Independent Committees and the boards of directors of the amalgamating corporations have determined, based primarily upon the valuation reports prepared by the independent qualified valuators retained by each Independent Committee as well as the fairness opinion delivered in connection with the Amalgamation, that pursuant to the Amalgamation Non-dissenting U.S. shareholders of Genterra Common Shares are entitled to receive 1 share of GCI Common Shares for each 3.6 shares of Genterra Common Shares; and non-dissenting U.S. shareholders of Genterra Class B shares are entitled to receive 1 GCI Class B Share for every 1 Genterra Class B Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date with the same terms as the Genterra Class B Shares being exchanged; and non-dissenting U.S. shareholders of CMI Shares are entitled to receive 1 share of GCI Common Shares for each CMI Common Share. There are no US Genterra Class A shareholders. Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement the Genterra Class A shareholders are entitled to receive 1 share of

GCI Class A Share, Series 1 for each share of Genterra Class A Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date with the same terms as the Genterra Class A Shares being exchanged, except that the number of GCI Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each GCI Class A Share to be issued upon the Amalgamation shall be 5.56 (and not 20, as is the case in respect of the number of Genterra Common Shares issuable upon conversion of each Genterra Class A Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date).

Any fractional interests resulting from the foregoing transactions will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole GCI Security.

CMI’s common stock is registered under the federal securities laws of the United States and files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a "foreign private issuer." Accordingly, CMI is subject to the United States federal securities laws. The amalgamation and all corporate actions by CMI and Genterra are governed by Ontario laws and regulations.

Amalgamation Compared with Merger

The term "amalgamation" is substantially different from the term "merger" commonly used in the United States, which generally means a statutory procedure whereby one corporation called the "continuing corporation" or "surviving corporation" acquires the assets of the second corporation called the "merging corporation" and where shares of the continuing or surviving corporation are issued to the shareholders of the merging corporation as part of the merger arrangement and the merging corporation disappears. Under an amalgamation, the amalgamating corporations continue to exist, but as one corporation.

RISK FACTORS

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, GCI will carry on the business of Genterra and CMI. Accordingly, GCI’s business will consist of the business currently carried on by Genterra and CMI. There are a number of inherent risks associated with the business currently carried on by Genterra and CMI. The following are certain risk factors related to the business to be carried on by GCI, which you should carefully consider. The risks and uncertainties discussed below highlight the important factors that could significantly affect GCI’s operations and profitability and are qualified in their entirety and must be read in conjunction with the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

GCI will be subject to a number of broad risks and uncertainties including general economic conditions. In addition to these broad business risks, GCI has specific risks that it will face, the most significant of which are detailed below.

Return on Short-Term Investments

GCI’s return on its short-term investments will be contingent upon the performance of its various professional investment managers and the public financial markets.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect GCI’s operating and financial results.

GCI will hold and invest minimal funds denominated in United States dollars. The value of this currency fluctuates due to changes in the exchange rate which is beyond the control of GCI. In the event that the Canadian dollar was to appreciate in value against the United States dollar this will have a nominal negative financial impact on GCI and therefore the currency risk is minimal.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from GCI’s management of working capital and principal repayments on its debt obligations. It is the risk that GCI could encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they become due.

Short-term investments invested with professional hedge fund managers will represent approximately 57% of the short-term investment portfolio and can be withdrawn in any given month and therefore liquidity risk is minimal.

Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalents will be maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market rates. GCI will reduce the exposure to interest rate risk over the cash flows through the use of fixed rate instruments on certain of its financial liabilities. GCI will not use derivative financial instruments to alter exposure to interest rate risk.

The primary objective of GCI’s investment activities will be to preserve capital while at the same time maximizing the income GCI receives from investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that GCI will invest in may have market risk. This means that a change in the prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if GCI holds a security that was issued with a fixed price interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of GCI’s investments could decline. GCI will maintain an investment portfolio consisting of short-term deposits, Canadian bond obligations and equity investments. Due to the relative short-term nature of these investments, GCI believes that it will have no material exposure to interest rate risk arising from its investments.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). GCI will moderate this risk through a careful selection and diversification of securities and other financial instruments within the limits of GCI’s objectives and strategies. Price fluctuations of the global equity markets could impact the performance of GCI’s short-term investments.

Real Property Investment

All real property investments are subject to elements of risk. Such risks include general economic conditions, local real estate market conditions, demand for real property generally and in the local area, competition for other available premises and various other risk factors.

Real property investments tend to be relatively illiquid, with the degree of liquidity generally fluctuating in relation to demand for and the perceived desirability of such investments. Such illiquidity may tend to limit GCI’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. If GCI were required to liquidate its real property investments, the proceeds to GCI might be significantly less than the aggregate value of its properties on a going concern basis.

Large Single Purpose Tenants and Credit Concentration

The need to renew and release upon lease expiration is no different for GCI than it is for any other real estate portfolio. Properties that are single tenant occupied, in particular the properties located at Dobbie Drive, Cambridge, Ontario, and Glendale Avenue North, Hamilton, Ontario, with their large single purpose tenant, have tenant specific leasehold improvements.

These two properties, which are both leased to The Cambridge Towel Corporation (“Cambridge”), will together account for 12% and 21% of GCI’s assets and rental revenue, respectively, as at December 31, 2008, and therefore constitute a significant credit concentration. The term for both leases expires on January 31, 2011. In the event that GCI was to lose this tenant, or the tenant was unable to pay its rent as it becomes due, and GCI is not successful in replacing it with a similar tenant, this could have a significant negative financial impact on GCI. In addition, a significant amount of demolition could be required to remove tenant specific leasehold improvements. Accordingly this credit concentration could be considered a risk factor.

There Is a Need For Rental Income To Maintain Cash Flow

The effect of negative economic and other conditions on tenants, the impact on their ability to make lease payments and the resulting impact on property cash flows could be considered a risk. For the most part, GCI’s tenants will be suppliers to the retail market and therefore are vulnerable to adverse economic conditions that impact retail sales. To the extent that any one of GCI's tenants is negatively impacted by such a change in economic conditions and is no longer able to meet its rental obligations, this could impact GCI as expenditures, including property taxes, capital repair and replacement costs, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges must be made throughout the period of ownership regardless of whether the property is producing any income. If GCI is unable to meet mortgage payments on its properties, loss could be sustained as a result of the mortgagee’s exercise of its rights of foreclosure and sale.

Loss Of Tenants Could Affect Leasing Flexibility

The relocation by an existing tenant could adversely affect GCI’s ability to generate income. The property located at Wendell Avenue, Toronto, Ontario is a multi-tenant facility with 55.6% of the building occupied by one tenant. The balance of the building is occupied by smaller tenants. In the event that one or more of these tenants was to vacate their unit GCI may find it difficult to provide appropriate space to prospective tenants.

The Need To Renegotiate Financing Terms As They Come Due

GCI might not be able to successfully renegotiate mortgage financing on favourable terms on the various properties as the existing mortgages fall due.

General Uninsured Losses

GCI will carry comprehensive general liability for fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with policy specifications, limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar properties. There are however certain types of risks (generally of a catastrophic nature such as wars or environmental contamination) that are either uninsurable or not insurable on an economically viable basis. Should an uninsured or underinsured loss occur, GCI could lose its investment in and anticipated profits and cash flows from one or more of its properties, but GCI would continue to be obliged to repay any recourse mortgage indebtedness on such property.

Environmental Legislation And Contamination

Environmental legislation and policies have become an increasingly important feature of real property ownership and management in recent years. Under various laws, property owners could become liable for the costs of effecting remedial work necessitated by the release, deposit or presence of certain materials, including hazardous or toxic substances and, accordingly, environmental contamination could be considered a risk factor. GCI’s tenants will include companies in the textile manufacturing business which represents a potential environmental risk. In addition, the migration of third party offsite contamination to one of GCI’s properties could be considered a risk. The failure by GCI to affect any necessary remedial work may adversely affect GCI’s ability to sell real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral and could result in claims against GCI. GCI will introduce an environmental maintenance program to oversee GCI’s compliance with Ministry of the Environment guidelines.

The risks and uncertainties discussed above highlight the more important factors that could significantly affect GCI’s operations and profitability. They do not represent an exhaustive list of all potential issues that could affect the financial results of GCI.

DESCRIPTION OF GENTERRA CAPITAL INC. AND ITS BUSINESS

If the amalgamation is completed, Genterra Capital Inc. will be organized by the amalgamation of Genterra and CMI under the laws of Ontario, Canada. The business of GCI will be the combined business of Genterra and CMI as presently conducted. Prior to the amalgamation, GCI has no operating history, assets and, accordingly, no financial statements. However, we have prepared pro forma financial statements showing the effect of the amalgamation, which are presented beginning on Page 31.

DESCRIPTION OF GENTERRA AND ITS BUSINESS

Reference to Genterra includes the operations of its subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires.

a) Real Estate:

Genterra's real estate investments are in Canada within the Southern Ontario region. Investments are primarily in industrial commercial real estate and financed through equity and commercial/institutional first mortgages. The properties are managed by Genterra in conjunction with third party property managers. Properties are acquired for both income and capital gain appreciation. Genterra primarily acquires property that provides cash flow coverage for financing purposes that may or may not provide a return on equity in the short term and with possible long term capital gain.

There is no specific policy as to the amount or percentage of assets which are invested in any specific property.

b) Investment in Real Estate Mortgages:

Genterra may invest in first or second mortgages and there is no requirement for such mortgages to be insured. As well there is no restriction on the proportion or amount of assets invested in any type of mortgage or any single mortgage. Mortgaging activities, if any, are committed to on a property by property one off basis. There is no program for actively creating, servicing and warehousing of mortgages or any requirement of portfolio turnover. Investments in mortgages are geared toward industrial and commercial properties.

c) Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities:

There is no restriction or requirement on the types of securities or interests in persons engaged in real estate activities in which Genterra may invest or in the amount or proportion of its assets which may be invested in each such type of security or interest.

Primary investment activities do not include the investment in mortgage sales or in persons engaged in real estate activities and therefore there are no specific criteria for this category of investment.

d) Investment in Other Securities:

Genterra may purchase bonds, common stock, or preferred stock. There is no restriction on industry groups or the percentage of its assets which it may invest.

The purchases in securities may include but are not limited to those listed on national securities exchanges. There are no specific criteria or limitations on the investment in other securities.

DESCRIPTION OF CMI AND ITS BUSINESS

Over the past number of years, CMI’s investment interests in both Polyair Inter Pack Inc. (“Polyair”) - a manufacturer of protective packaging products, and Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc. (“Distinctive”) - a manufacturer of furniture, incurred substantial operating losses. During this period, Management of CMI spent considerable time and effort in assisting these business units in restructuring their operations and enhancing their ability to be more competitive in their respective industries. These efforts provided CMI with the opportunity to maximize shareholder value, culminating in the December 2007 sale of both units. With these divestiture transactions completed, CMI has the financial and management resources to seek out new long-term strategic acquisitions with the potential for future growth. In the interim period, CMI has invested a portion of its working capital in a combination of relatively short-term income producing assets.

Furniture Products Until December 2007 CMI’s furniture division (the "Furniture Division") consisted primarily of a 50.33% interest in Distinctive, a private Ontario corporation which manufactures and imports leather and fabric upholstered furniture for sale to major Canadian department stores, mass merchants and independent furniture stores, as well as to a number of customers in the United States.

In August 2007 Distinctive filed a Proposal to restructure its unsecured liabilities. The Proposal was accepted by Distinctive’s unsecured creditors and approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. In August 2007 CMI announced its intention to initiate a process to sell its investment interest in Distinctive and effective December 28, 2007, sold its shares and the debt owed by Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. Accordingly, the 2007 operating results of Distinctive have been reported by CMI as Discontinued Operations.

Protective Packaging Products Until December 2007, CMI had a 22.15% interest (44.5% until March 2004) in Polyair. Polyair is an Ontario holding company which manufactures and distributes protective packaging products through its wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

In March 2004, CMI completed the sale of approximately 48% of its holdings in Polyair. On December 31, 2007, CMI completed a private sale of all of its remaining shareholdings in Polyair.

CONDITIONS OF THE AMALGAMATION

The Amalgamation Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent to the obligations of parties. Unless all of such conditions are satisfied or waived by the party for whose benefit such conditions exist, to the extent they may be capable of waiver, the Amalgamation will not proceed. There is no assurance that the conditions will be satisfied or waived on a timely basis, or at all. Such conditions include the Genterra Shareholders and CMI Shareholders approving the Amalgamation and that all other consents and approvals (including regulatory approvals) are obtained. For complete details of the conditions to the Amalgamation, see the Amalgamation Agreement attached as Exhibit [x] incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

Benefits of the Amalgamation

The Amalgamation is expected to yield benefits to the Genterra Shareholders and the CMI Shareholders. The principal purposes of the Amalgamation are: to allow for the businesses of Genterra and CMI to operate on a more expeditious and cost effective basis through the reduction of costs resulting from the elimination of duplicate administrative, overhead and accounting facilities, and ongoing public company costs; to create a larger corporation with larger and more varied assets, a larger equity and income base, and greater opportunities, which will help facilitate the financing of future growth and expansion; and, to create a larger public float of shareholders which should result in increased market liquidity for the shareholders of the amalgamating corporations. See page 22.

Fairness Opinion (Page 26)

Genterra and CMI engaged the services of Corporate Valuation Services Limited (“CVS”) to prepare and deliver an opinion to the Independent Committees that the terms of the proposed amalgamation of Genterra and CMI to form one continuing corporation described herein are fair to each of such corporations and their respective shareholders from a financial point of view. A copy of the CVS opinion that the terms of the Amalgamation is fair to each of the amalgamating corporations and their respective shareholders is annexed as Exhibit [x] to this Prospectus. Shareholders are urged to read the CVS Fairness Opinion in its entirety. The CVS Fairness Opinion is not a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote with respect to the Amalgamation. CVS’ opinion was provided for the benefit of the boards of Genterra and CMI in connection with, and for the purpose of, their evaluation of the consideration to be received by holders of Genterra and CMI securities in the Amalgamation from a financial point of view and does not address any other aspect of the Amalgamation. The opinion does not address the relative merits of the Amalgamation as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to Genterra or CMI or their respective underlying business decisions to effect the Amalgamation.

Accounting Treatment

For Canadian GAAP, the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method with CMI considered the acquirer. For U.S. GAAP, the transaction is accounted for using the pooling of interests method as Genterra and CMI are entities under common control. The pro forma financial statements included herein give effect to the transaction based on the U.S. GAAP criteria.

APPROVALS REQUIRED FOR THE AMALGAMATION

Majority of the Minority Approval

The Amalgamation is a “Related Party Transaction” and a “Business Combination” in relation to both CMI and Genterra under MI 61-101 because both CMI and Genterra are directly or indirectly controlled by Fred Litwin, Mark Litwin, and Risa Shearer. MI 61-101 requires that, in addition to approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by the CMI Shareholders and two-thirds of the votes cast by Genterra Shareholders, in order to complete the Amalgamation, Majority of the Minority Approval of the Genterra Shareholders and Majority of the Minority Approval of the CMI Shareholders must be obtained. In calculating the votes to determine the required level of approval for the Majority of the Minority Approval, all Excluded Shareholders will be excluded from voting. See “VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION - Majority of the Minority Approval” on page 179.

Regulatory Approvals and Filings

Neither Genterra nor CMI are aware of material licenses or regulatory permits which might be adversely affected by the Amalgamation or of any approval or other action by any federal, provincial, state or foreign government or administrative or regulatory agency that would be required to be obtained prior to the completion of the Amalgamation, other than by the TSX, TSVX and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Dissent Rights

This description of the rights of Dissenting Shareholders to dissent in respect of the Amalgamation is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of section 185 of the OBCA, in respect of the Amalgamation, which is attached to this Prospectus as Schedule 5. A shareholder has the right to dissent and, if the Amalgamation becomes effective, to be paid by Genterra or CMI as the case may be, the fair value of the Shares held by such holder in respect of which such holder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the resolution from which such holder dissents was adopted. A shareholder may dissent only with respect to all of the Shares held by such holder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder’s name. A Dissenting Shareholder must object in writing at or before the meeting held to vote on the Amalgamation. A Dissenting Shareholder wishing to exercise the right to dissent shall not vote the holder’s Shares, either by the submission of a proxy or by personally voting in favour of the Special Resolution. A registered shareholder who intends to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of that section. Failure to strictly comply with the provisions of that section and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights thereunder. For a more complete description of the Dissent Rights see “VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION - Dissent Rights” beginning on page 175.

Terms of the Amalgamation

Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, GCI will issue:

·	1 GCI Common Share for every 3.6 Genterra Common Shares issued and outstanding on the Effective Date;

·	1 GCI Class B Share for every 1 Genterra Class B Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date with the same terms as the Genterra Class B Shares being exchanged;

·	1 GCI Common Shares for every 1 CMI Share issued and outstanding on the Effective Date.

Redemption of CMI Class A Shares

Pursuant to the terms and conditions attaching to the CMI Class A Shares, the CMI Class A Shares may be redeemed by CMI at any time upon not less than thirty days’ notice in writing, at a price of $0.44 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon up to the date fixed for redemption. CMI has given such notice of redemption on @, 2009, and the date specified for redemption is @, 2009, after which date the holders of the CMI Class A Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof.

Benefits of the Amalgamation

Both Genterra and CMI believe that the Amalgamation should result in the enhancement of value for their respective Shareholders. The principal purposes of the Amalgamation are: to allow for the businesses of Genterra and CMI to operate on a more expeditious and cost effective basis through the elimination of costs resulting from duplicate administrative, overhead and accounting facilities, and ongoing public company costs; to create a larger corporation with larger and more varied assets, a larger equity and income base, and greater opportunities, which will help facilitate the financing of future growth and expansion; and, to create a larger public float of shareholders which should result in increased market liquidity for the shareholders of the amalgamating corporations.

The boards of directors of Genterra and CMI have voted to recommend the amalgamation to their respective shareholders for the following reasons:

(a) each of Genterra and CMI are engaged in active investment and management endeavours;

(b) management and a number of directors are common to each corporation;

(c)

control of both corporations ultimately rests indirectly with Fred A. Litwin, and his son and daughter; hence the amalgamation will simplify the corporate structures by consolidating shareholdings into one entity;

(d)

the amalgamation will enable shareholders of each corporation to be a part of a larger corporation with larger and more varied assets, a larger equity and income base, and greater opportunities, and will facilitate the financing of future growth and expansion;

(e)

the amalgamation is expected to create a larger public float of shareholders which should result in increased market liquidity for the shareholders of the amalgamating corporations; and

(f)

the corporation resulting from the amalgamation will benefit from the increased efficiency and reduced costs resulting from single administrative; overhead and accounting facilities, and ongoing public company costs such as transfer agent, auditing, and exchange listing and sustaining fees.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. Accordingly, holders of Genterra Shares and CMI Shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding the income tax consequences of the Amalgamation and the exercise of dissent rights having regard to their particular circumstances.

The following summary describes, as of the date of this Prospectus, the material Canadian federal income tax considerations under the ITA of the Amalgamation applicable to Genterra Shareholders and CMI Shareholders who at all relevant times and for purposes of the ITA deal at arm’s length and are not affiliated with Genterra or CMI, and who hold their Genterra Shares or CMI Shares, and will hold their GCI Shares, as capital property.

Genterra Shares, CMI Shares and GCI Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to the holder provided that the holder does not hold such securities in the course of carrying on a business and has not acquired such securities in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. This summary does not take into account the “mark-to-market rules” in the ITA that apply to “financial institutions”. Holders that are “financial institutions” for the purposes of these rules should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the ITA, the current regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and the Regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date of this Prospectus (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes to the law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative action or changes in the administrative practices and policies of the Canada Revenue Agency, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed herein.

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable to holders of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares and those persons who become holders of GCI Shares as a consequence of the Amalgamation, who, for the purposes of the ITA and any applicable income tax convention, at all relevant times, are resident in Canada or are deemed to be resident in Canada. Certain Canadian resident holders of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares may make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the ITA to deem the shares and every “Canadian security” (as defined in the ITA) owned by such holders to be capital property in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years. A Canadian security is defined to include shares of a corporation resident in Canada but does not include warrants or options. Any holder of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares contemplating making such election should first consult their tax advisor as its completion will affect the income tax treatment of their disposition of other Canadian securities.

Holders of Genterra Shares on Amalgamation

Holders of Genterra Shares (other than holders of Genterra Shares who dissent from the Amalgamation) will realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss on the Amalgamation as a result of the Genterra Shares being disposed of in exchange for GCI Shares.

The aggregate adjusted cost base of the GCI Shares received by a Genterra Shareholder on the Amalgamation will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base to the Genterra Shareholder of the Genterra Shares disposed of in exchange for such GCI Shares by virtue of the Amalgamation. The holder’s cost of such GCI Shares must be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other GCI Shares held by the holder to determine the holder’s adjusted cost base of such GCI Shares.

Holders of CMI Shares on Amalgamation

Holders of CMI Shares (other than holders of CMI Shares who dissent from the Amalgamation) will realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss on the Amalgamation as a result of the CMI Shares being disposed of in exchange for GCI Shares.

The aggregate adjusted cost base of the GCI Shares received by a CMI Shareholder on the Amalgamation will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base to the holder of the CMI Shares disposed of in exchange for such GCI Shares by virtue of the Amalgamation. The holder’s cost of such GCI Shares must be averaged with the adjusted cost base of any other GCI Shares held by the holder to determine the holder’s adjusted cost base of such GCI Shares.

Shareholders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of the summary is generally applicable to holders of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares who, for purposes of the ITA and any applicable income tax convention, have not been and will not be resident or deemed to be resident in Canada at any time while they have held the Genterra Shares or CMI Shares and who do not use or hold and are not deemed to use or hold the Genterra Shares or CMI Shares in carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-resident that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

A Non-Resident Holder of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares who participates in the Amalgamation will generally be subject to the same tax consequences as a Canadian resident holder on the Amalgamation, as discussed above. Accordingly, a Non-Resident Holder who disposes of Genterra Shares or CMI Shares in exchange for GCI Shares on the Amalgamation will generally realize neither a capital gain nor a capital loss, as discussed above under the heading, “Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations - Holders of Genterra Shares on Amalgamation”.

Dissenting Shareholders

Any shareholder who is considering dissenting in respect of the Amalgamation is urged to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them of such action.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences From The Amalgamation

General

The Amalgamation will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a "reorganization” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (hereafter the I.R.C. or Code) Section 368(a). U.S. shareholders of Genterra and CMI who exchange their stock solely for shares in GCI will not recognize a gain or a loss, except to the extent of cash received in lieu of a fractional share in GCI. However, there may be circumstances under I.R.C. 367 where U.S. shareholders may recognize a gain or a loss as a result of this transaction. These circumstances are discussed below.

The aggregate tax basis of the shares in GCI entity received by a U.S. shareholder in the Amalgamation will be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares surrendered in the exchange. The holding period in the new stock received by the U.S. shareholder is deemed to begin with the holding period of the stock surrendered, i.e., there is a carryover holding period.

Shareholders Owning More than 5%

A U.S. shareholder of either Genterra or CMI who owns actually and constructively 5% or more of the total voting power or total value of the common shares of GCI. after the merger and fails to enter into a gain recognition agreement will have to recognize a gain or loss under I.R.C. 367.

A gain recognition agreement is a statement filed on a timely basis with the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-8. A gain recognition agreement would require the 5% U.S. shareholder to recognize a gain (but not a loss), in whole or in part, with respect to the exchange of stock pursuant to the merger, if within 60 months following the close of the taxable year of the merger, GCI were to sell substantially all of its assets, even though the U.S. shareholder has not disposed of any of GCI’s shares.

The 5% U.S. shareholder would also be required to recognize a gain if such shareholder were to cease to be a U.S. person during the sixty month period described above. In such events, the U.S. shareholder may also be required to pay the Internal Revenue Service interest from the date the U.S. shareholder filed his or her tax return with respect to the taxable year of the U.S. shareholder in which the merger occurs.

Shareholders in this particular situation should consult their own tax advisors as to their income tax implications of the reorganization.

Receipt of Cash Payment in Lieu of a Fractional Share

A cash payment received by a U.S. shareholder in lieu of fractional shares in GCI will result in the recognition of a capital gain or loss. The capital gain or loss is measured by the difference between the cash payment received and the portion of the aggregate adjusted cost basis of the stock surrendered that is allocable to such fractional share.

Dissenting Shareholders

The U.S. income tax implications above are applicable only in circumstances where shareholders receive only shares (and cash for a fractional share) in exchange for their shares. For dissenting shareholders, who will receive cash for their shares, the aforementioned discussion is not applicable. These shareholders will have a disposition for income tax purposes and will not be able to defer their gains.

The above discussion of the US and Canadian tax consequences of the amalgamation is a summary of the opinion, as of the date hereof, of Kraft Berger LLP, chartered accountants, that the amalgamation will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Such opinion is based on facts existing as of the date hereof and as of the consummation of the Amalgamation and on certain representations as to factual matters made by Genterra and CMI. Such representations, if incorrect in certain material respects, could jeopardize the conclusions reached in the opinion. This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local tax jurisdiction, which may differ significantly from those described. Such opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts.

OUTSIDER REPORT, OPINION, OR APPRAISAL

GENTERRA VALUATION SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the Formal Valuation, dated 26 January 2009, of all the Shares of Genterra as at 31 December 2008 for the purpose of its acquisition through amalgamation by CMI.

On 31 October 2008, the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of Genterra engaged Corporate Valuation Services Limited ("CVS") to prepare and deliver to the Independent Committee a Formal Valuation of Genterra, under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, as at December 31, 2008 (the “Valuation Date”), using audited Financial Statements as at September 30, 2008. CVS has been determined to be independent within the meaning of Rule 61-501.

Based upon and subject to the assumptions and qualifications contained in the Formal Valuation, CVS gave its opinion that as at the Valuation Date, the rounded Fair Market Value of all the Shares of Genterra is Twenty Seven Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($27,250,000). This is equivalent to $1.00 (rounded) for each of the 25,859,211 Genterra Common Shares to be issued on a fully diluted basis, assuming complete conversion of the 326,000 Genterra Class A Preference Shares, and $0.05 for each of the 26,274,918 Genterra Class B Preference Shares. The Transaction Based Value of $0.32 per Genterra Common Share, as outlined in the Formal Valuation (see “PART II - THE AMALGAMATION Genterra Valuation Summary”), is at a discount of 68% to the Fair Market Value.

The Formal Valuation was provided to the Independent Committee and the Board of Directors of Genterra solely for the purpose of their consideration of the Amalgamation.

The full text of the Formal Valuation, which sets forth the assumptions, qualifications and considerations in connection with the Formal Valuation, is available for inspection by Shareholders during regular business hours at the head office of Genterra at 106 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario. The Shareholders are urged to read the Formal Valuation in its entirety. A copy of the Formal Valuation will be sent without charge to any holder of Genterra Shares upon request. The Formal Valuation does not constitute advice or a recommendation as to whether Shareholders should vote in favour of the Acquisition or any other transaction.

CMI VALUATION SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the Comprehensive Valuation Report, dated January 16, 2009, prepared by HJF Financial Inc. (“HJF”) setting out the comprehensive fair market value (“FMV”) of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (“CMI”) at December 31, 2008 (“Valuation Date”) for the purpose of the merger of CMI with Genterra, a publicly listed and related company, publicly listed in Canada.

On November 10, 2008, the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of CMI engaged HJF Financial Inc. ("HJF") to prepare and deliver to the Independent Committee a Formal Valuation of CMI, under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, as at December 31, 2008 (the “Valuation Date”), using audited Financial Statements as at December 31, 2007 and interim unaudited Financial Statements as at September 30, 2008. HJF has been determined to be independent within the meaning of Rule 61-501.

Based upon and subject to the assumptions and qualifications contained in the Formal Valuation, HJF gave its opinion that as at the Valuation Date, the fair market value of all the issued and outstanding CMI Shares is in the range of Seventeen Million Three Hundred and Fifty Eight Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty One dollars Canadian ($17,358,281) or Three Dollars and Forty Two Cents Canadian ($3.42) per share based on Five Million and Seventy Six Thousand Four Hundred and Seven (5,076,407) common shares outstanding.

The Formal Valuation was provided to the Independent Committee and the Board of Directors of CMI solely for the purpose of their consideration of the Amalgamation.

The full text of the Formal Valuation, which sets forth the assumptions, qualifications and considerations in connection with the Formal Valuation, is available for inspection by Shareholders during regular business hours at the head office of CMI at 106 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario. The Shareholders are urged to read the Formal Valuation in its entirety. A copy of the Formal Valuation will be sent without charge to any holder of CMI Shares upon request. The Formal Valuation does not constitute advice or a recommendation as to whether Shareholders should vote in favour of the Acquisition or any other transaction.

FAIRNESS OPINION

CVS was retained to prepare and deliver an opinion to the Independent Committees that the terms of the proposed amalgamation of Genterra and CMI to form one continuing corporation described herein are fair to each of such corporations and their respective shareholders from a financial point of view.

The fairness opinion contemplates that upon the Amalgamation 3.6 GCI Common Shares will be issued for each CMI Share and one GCI Common Share will be issued for each Genterra Common Share. As noted above (See “SUMMARY Share Exchange Ratios”), upon further consideration the respective boards of directors of CMI and Genterra determined that the best interests of the shareholders would be served by modifying the share exchange to reduce the total number of GCI Common Shares to be issued upon the Amalgamation. Consequently, each CMI Share will be exchanged for one GCI Common Share and each 3.6 Genterra Common Shares will be exchanged for one GCI Common Share.

In arriving at its fairness opinion, CVS considered the Formal Valuations prepared in respect of each of CMI and Genterra wherein two independent valuation approaches for the CMI Shares and the Genterra Common Shares were obtained – the Adjusted Book Value and the Transaction Based Value. The Transaction Based Value reflects the average prices from stock trading on the TSX in respect of CMI and the TSX-V in respect of Genterra. For purposes of the fairness opinion, CVS relied upon the respective fully diluted adjusted book values for CMI and Genterra, as the common shares of both companies trade at significant discounts to their respective Adjusted Book Values. CVS determined the discount of average trading price to Adjusted Book Value for the CMI Shares to be 49%, and for the Genterra Common Shares to be 68%.

A copy of the CVS opinion that the terms of the Amalgamation is fair to each of the amalgamating corporations and their respective shareholders is annexed as Exhibit 23.6. Shareholders are urged to read the CVS Fairness Opinion in its entirety. The CVS Fairness Opinion is not a recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote with respect to the Amalgamation.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS WITH COMPANY BEING ACQUIRED

Other than the discussions leading to the amalgamation agreement, there have been no material contacts between Genterra and CMI.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

None.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

GCI will be organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada. All of the directors and officers of GCI will be residents of Canada and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located in Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for holders of GCI securities to effect service within the United States upon such directors and officers who are not resident of the United States or to enforce against such persons, in Canada or the United States, judgments of courts of the United States, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

INFORMATION ABOUT GCI

Upon completion of the Amalgamation, a significant portion of a GCI’s assets will be comprised of industrial commercial rental real estate properties located in the province of Ontario. Following the amalgamation, in order to maximize shareholder returns, GCI will seek to ensure that it continues to have these properties leased to quality tenants at market related rents and that any vacancies that may arise are quickly replaced with new such tenants. In order to do so, Management has and will continue to use its own substantial contact network and where deemed appropriate, will make use of professional rental organizations upon a fee-for-service basis. When new leases are negotiated, Management will attempt to negotiate these on a net-net basis so as to ensure that any future increase in costs associated with the property are borne by the tenant. Management will also attempt to ensure that upon the expiration of any of the mortgages associated with these properties, that extensions or new mortgages are negotiated on terms favorable to the Company based upon the circumstances at that time. The various properties will be managed by the company in conjunction with 3rd party managers as appropriate. Together, this will ensure that rents are collected on time and that the necessary appropriate repairs and maintenance are undertaken. Management will continue to analyze future potential real estate investments in order deploy available resources to expand GCI’s portfolio. Management seeks to acquire real estate investments that provide both income and the potential for capital appreciation. The financing of any acquisitions will normally be through a combination of internal resources and commercial/institutional mortgages.

Property, Plants And Equipment

The property, plants and equipment of GCI will be comprised of the property, plants and equipment of Genterra and CMI. Accordingly, we refer the reader to “INFORMATION CONCERNING GENTERRA – PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT” beginning on page 110 and to “INFORMATION CONCERNING CMI – PROPERTY,PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT” beginning on page 39.

Legal Proceedings

Neither Genterra nor CMI is currently involved in any litigation or proceedings which are material either individually or in the aggregate and to knowledge of the Management of Genterra and CMI, no legal proceedings of a material nature involving their respective companies are currently contemplated by any individuals, entities or governmental authorities.

In the normal course of its operations, subsidiaries and/or equity investees of GCI, from time to time, may be named in legal actions seeking monetary damages.

Exchange Controls

The Investment Canada Act (the "ICA"), which became effective on June 30, 1985, prohibits the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise in Canada by non-Canadians without prior consent of the Investment Canada Agency (with ultimate appeal to the Federal Cabinet), unless such acquisition is exempt under the provisions of the ICA. Both acquisition of natural resource properties and acquisition of producing properties may be considered to be the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise for ICA purposes. The ICA also covers acquisition of control of Canadian corporate enterprises, whether by purchase of assets or shares. As at the Effective Date, GCI anticipates that all of its directors will be Canadian, and that 87% of its voting shares will be owned by Canadians. The Registrant is satisfied that it will comply with ICA at the Effective Date and accordingly will not be a non-Canadian person as defined in ICA.

The ICA will substantially reduce the regulatory requirements for acquisition of interests in Canadian businesses under prior legislation, most importantly, (i) by providing that foreign investments below specified threshold sizes (generally, direct acquisitions of Canadian business with gross assets less than $5 million, or "indirect acquisitions" of businesses with gross assets less than $50 million) have only a notification, as opposed to a substantive review, requirement, and (ii) by liberalizing the review standards for approval.

Apart from the ICA, there are no other limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote securities imposed by Canadian law or the Articles of Incorporation of GCI. There are no other decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of Capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities except as discussed at below, "Taxation."

Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the income tax aspects under Canadian law relating to ownership of GCI’s Common Shares and Class A Preference Shares. These income tax aspects will vary according to the circumstances of each shareholder, including his place of residence and the place in which he carries on business or has a permanent establishment, as the case may be, so that a shareholder must investigate the tax consequences of his personal situation by obtaining advice from his own tax advisor. This summary does not consider U.S. federal or state income tax provisions or Canadian Provincial income tax provisions, which may be at variance with the provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice.

Dividends paid to a non-resident of Canada, including distributions or redemptions which are treated as dividends and certain stock dividends, are subject to Canadian income tax. The Canadian non-resident withholding tax would be withheld by the Company who would remit only the net amount to the shareholder. By virtue of Article X of the Canada United States Tax Convention, which came into force on August 16, 1984, (and was amended by the Protocol signed on September 21, 2007), the rate of tax for dividends paid to a resident of the U.S. is limited to 15%. The withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% for a corporate shareholder owning at lease 10% of the voting stock of the Company, either directly or through an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and is not a resident of Canada. In the absence of any treaty provisions, the rate of tax imposed would be 25% of the applicable amounts.

Stock dividends received by non-residents from GCI would be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax as noted above, to the extent that the paid-up capital of GCI has been increased as a result of the stock dividend.

Gain from the sale of Common Shares and Preference Shares of GCI by a non-resident of Canada will not be subject to Canadian tax provided the shareholder has not held a "substantial interest" (25% or more of the shares of any class of GCI stock) in GCI, at any time in the five preceding years. By virtue of Article XIII of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, shareholders who are resident in the United States and hold a substantial interest in the GCI's Common Shares or Preference Shares will not be subject to Canadian tax on gain from sale of the shares of GCI provided that the value of the shares does not derive principally from real property situated in Canada.

Directors and Officers

For information concerning the proposed Directors and Officers of GCI, please refer to “VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION – Directors and Officers of GCI”, beginning on page 180.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR GCI (AMALCO)

As described herein, the holders of Genterra securities and the holders of CMI securities will consider and vote upon the Amalgamation. Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement Each Genterra Shareholder (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 1 GCI Common Share for every 3.6 Genterra Common Shares held and each CMI Shareholder (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 1 GCI Common Share in exchange for every 1 CMI Share held (as applicable). Each holder of Genterra Class A Shares (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 1 GCI Class A Share in exchange for every 1 Genterra Class A Share held (as applicable). Each holder of Genterra Class B Shares (other than Dissenting Shareholders) will receive 1 GCI Class B Share in exchange for every 1 Genterra Class B Share held (as applicable). Any fractional interests resulting from the foregoing transactions will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole GCI Security. For Canadian GAAP, the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method with CMI considered the acquirer. For U.S. GAAP, the transaction is accounted for using the pooling of interests method as Genterra and CMI are entities under common control. The pro forma financial statements included herein give effect to the transaction based on the U.S GAAP criteria.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1.	Basis of Presentation

On March 9, 2009 Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (“CMI”) and Genterra Inc. (“Genterra”) announced that their respective boards of Directors have approved a business combination by way of a proposed amalgamation of the two companies (“GCI”).

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the proposed amalgamation. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the shareholders of CMI and Genterra will receive shares of common stock of GCI in exchange for their shares.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled from and include:

(a)	Unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet combining the audited balance sheet of CMI as at December 31, 2008 with the audited balance sheet of Genterra as at September 30, 2008, giving effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on December 31, 2008.

(b)

Unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations combining the audited statements of operations of CMI for the three years ended December 31, 2008 with the audited statements of operations of Genterra for the three years ended September 30, 2008, giving effect to the transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled using significant accounting policies as set out in the audited financial statements of CMI and Genterra for the years ended December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, respectively. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the notes thereto of CMI and Genterra described above.

It is management’s opinion that these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the transaction described in Note 2 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the results of operations or the financial position of the Company which would have actually resulted had the proposed amalgamation been effected on the dates indicated. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future. The impact of integration activities, the timing of the completion of the amalgamation and other changes in the net tangible and intangible assets prior to the amalgamation, which have not been incorporated into these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, could cause material differences in the information presented.

2.	Amalgamation

On March 9, 2009 CMI and Genterra announced that their respective boards of Directors have approved a business combination by way of a proposed amalgamation of the two companies (“GCI”).

-	The unaudited pro-forma consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations has been prepared using United States accounting principles.

-	The Class A Preference shares of CMI will be redeemed prior to the amalgamation.

By Certificate and Articles of Amalgamation filed pursuant to the Business Corporation Act (Ontario) and effective on December 30, 1994, Consolidated Mercantile Corporation amalgamated with Lam-Tar Inc. and continued as Consolidated Mercantile Corporation. On October 22, 1998, Consolidated Mercantile Corporation changed its name to “Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated”.

The head office of CMI is located at 106 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2H3.

Intercorporate Relationships

CMI owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of, 2041804 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation which holds investments in marketable securities.

CMI also holds a 1.51% equity interest in Genterra.

General Development of the Business

The business objective of CMI is to create and maximize shareholder value through internal growth of investments and acquisitions of companies having synergistic product lines and technologies, management strength and a presence in markets with the potential for sales of complementary products. CMI’s investment strategy, , is to assist operating units in taking advantage of their strengths by investment in and by the provision of management and merchant banking services, with the objective of creating added value to CMI and its shareholders.

Description of the Business

In August 2007 Distinctive filed a Proposal to restructure its unsecured liabilities. The Proposal was accepted by Distinctive’s unsecured creditors and approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. In August 2007 CMI announced its intention to initiate a process to sell its investment interest in Distinctive and effective December 28, 2007, sold its shares and the debt owed by Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. Accordingly, the operating results of Distinctive have been reported by CMI as Discontinued Operations.

In March 2004, CMI completed the sale of approximately 48% of its holdings in Polyair. On December 31, 2007, CMI completed a private sale of all of its remaining shareholdings in Polyair.

Property, Plants and Equipment

CMI’s head office, shared with a number of other corporations, is located at 106 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 2H3. CMI's cost of its head office facilities is borne, on a pro-rata basis, as part of the management fees charged by CMI to its subsidiaries and investment interests for providing management services to such entities.

Legal Proceedings

In the opinion of management, CMI is not currently involved in any litigation or proceedings which are material either individually or in the aggregate and to CMI's knowledge, no legal proceedings of a material nature involving CMI are currently contemplated by any individuals, entities or governmental authorities.

In the normal course of its operations, subsidiaries and/or equity investees of CMI have been or, from time to time, may be named in legal actions seeking monetary damages.

Exchange Controls

The Investment Canada Act (the "ICA"), which became effective on June 30, 1985, prohibits the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise in Canada by non-Canadians without prior consent of the Investment Canada Agency (with ultimate appeal to the Federal Cabinet), unless such acquisition is exempt under the provisions of the ICA. Both acquisition of natural resource properties and acquisition of producing properties may be considered to be the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise for ICA purposes. The ICA also covers acquisition of control of Canadian corporate enterprises, whether by purchase of assets or shares. As at December 31, 2008, all of the directors of the Company are, and 78.41% of its voting shares were owned by Canadians. CMI is satisfied that it complies with ICA at present and accordingly is not a non-Canadian person as defined in ICA.

Apart from the ICA, there are no other limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote securities imposed by Canadian law or the Articles of Incorporation of CMI. There are no other decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of Capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of CMI's securities except as discussed at Paragraph E, "Taxation."

Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the income tax aspects under Canadian law relating to ownership of CMI’s Common Shares and Class A Preference Shares. These income tax aspects will vary according to the circumstances of each shareholder, including his place of residence and the place in which he carries on business or has a permanent establishment, as the case may be, so that a shareholder must investigate the tax consequences of his personal situation by obtaining advice from his own tax advisor. This summary does not consider U.S. federal or state income tax provisions or Canadian Provincial income tax provisions, which may be at variance with the provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice.

Dividends paid to a non-resident of Canada, including distributions or redemptions which are treated as dividends and certain stock dividends, are subject to Canadian income tax. The Canadian non-resident withholding tax would be withheld by the Company who would remit only the net amount to the shareholder. By virtue of Article X of the Canada United States Tax Convention, which came into force on August 16, 1984 (and was amended by the Protocol signed on September 21, 2007), the rate of tax for dividends paid to a resident of the U.S. is limited to 15%. The withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% for a corporate shareholder owning at lease 10% of the voting stock of the Company, either directly or through an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and is not a resident of Canada. In the absence of any treaty provisions, the rate of tax imposed would be 25% of the applicable amounts.

Stock dividends received by non-residents from CMI would be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax as noted above, to the extent that the paid-up capital of CMI has been increased as a result of the stock dividend.

Gain from the sale of Common Shares and Preference Shares of CMI by a non-resident of Canada will not be subject to Canadian tax provided the shareholder has not held a "substantial interest" (25% or more of the shares of any class of Company stock) in the Company, at any time in the five preceding years. By virtue of Article XIII of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, shareholders who are resident in the United States and hold a substantial interest in CMI’s Common Shares or Preference Shares will not be subject to Canadian tax on gain from sale of the shares of CMI provided that the value of the shares does not derive principally from real property situated in Canada.

Review of Year-End Results December 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue. Investment loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $684,417 compared to investment income of $553,933 for the comparable 2007 period. Investment results for the year were impacted by the poor performance of the global equity markets.

Administrative and General Expenses. Administrative and general expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, and public company shareholder costs. Administrative and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $536,873 compared to $1,083,445 in the comparable 2007 period. The decrease in administrative and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable period was as a result of the 2007 management compensation incurred upon the completion of the Company’s disposition of its investment interest in Polyair.

Gain (loss) on Foreign Exchange. The Company holds certain amounts of its cash in United States dollars. The Company experienced a foreign exchange gain of $1,657,741 during the year ended December 31, 2008. The gains were as a result of the strengthening of the United States Dollar. This compares to a foreign exchange loss of $342,732 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other expenses. Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser. The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000, with the first instalment due on January 15, 2009. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. Over the past number of years Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes a reserve is appropriate. As a result, the deferred gain on the sale of this investment has been adjusted and the reduction has been set off against the impairment loss on note receivable resulting in the net loss of $58,675.

Equity Earnings (loss). Equity earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $4,572 compared to an equity loss of $723,175 for the comparable 2007 period. On December 31, 2007, the Company completed a private sale of all of its remaining shareholdings in Polyair. The equity loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes the Company’s share of equity loss of Polyair The Company recorded adjustments to the carrying value of an investment in a significantly influenced company of $31,000 and $140,000 in 2008 and 2007 respectively.

Gain on Sale of Investments (2007). In December 2007 the Company sold its shares in Distinctive. The shares were paid for by the delivery to the Company of a $1 million promissory note payable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments. The promissory note was discounted to its present value resulting in a gain of approximately $550,000. Under Emerging Issue Committee Abstract #79, the gain on sale is only recognized in the Statement of Operations to the extent that it is realized. Accordingly, $420,953 of the gain was deferred and reflected in the liability section of the Balance Sheet. In December 2007 the Company also sold its remaining shareholdings in Polyair for $6.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.3 million.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was 1.1% and (0.5%) respectively. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the permanent differences associated with the tax treatment of capital gain transactions and the valuation allowance provided against certain future tax benefits.

Net Earnings (loss). Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $347,363 as compared to net earnings of $3,208,755 for the comparable 2007 period. The results for the year ended December 31, 2008 were impacted by the poor performance of the equity markets and the gain on foreign exchange. The 2007 earnings resulted from the gain on the sale of the Company’s investments in Distinctive and Polyair offset by the discontinued operation loss from Distinctive of $1,186,997.

Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on the results of the Company’s operations in its last quarter and is not anticipated to materially impact on the Company’s operations during its current fiscal year.

Review of Year-End Results December 31, 2007 and 2006

Revenue. Revenue from investments for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $553,933 compared to $8,009 for the comparable 2006 period. The increase was due to the improved results achieved from the Company’s investment portfolio during the period.

Administrative and General Expenses. Administrative and general expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, and public company shareholder costs. Administrative and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $1,083,445 from $540,036 in the comparable 2006 period. The increase in administrative and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 was as a result of the management compensation incurred upon the completion of the Company’s disposition of its investment interest in Polyair.

Loss on Foreign Exchange. The Company holds certain amounts of its cash in United States dollars. The substantial strengthening of the Canadian Dollar during 2007 resulted in the Company incurring a foreign exchange loss of $342,732 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This compares to a foreign exchange gain of $34,277 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Equity Loss. Equity loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $723,175 as compared to an equity loss of $783,926 for the comparable 2006 period. Polyair’s performance for the year ended October 31, 2007 improved as a result of an improvement in gross margin. The improvement in gross margin was offset by the provision for fixed asset impairments and one-time professional fees related to the potential sale of the business. The Company recorded an adjustment of $140,000 to the carrying value of its investment in a significantly influenced company in 2007.

Gain on Sale of Investments. In December 2007 the Company sold its shares and the debt owed by Distinctive. The purchase price for the debt was paid for in cash. The shares were paid for by the delivery to the Company of a $1 million promissory note payable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments, with the first instalment due on January 15, 2009. The promissory note has been discounted to its present value. The promissory note is secured by a pledge of all of the shares of Distinctive owned by the Purchaser. The disposition resulted in a gain of approximately $550,000. Under Emerging Issue Committee Abstract #79, the gain on sale is only recognized in the Statement of Operations to the extent that it is realized. Accordingly, $420,953 of the gain has been deferred and is reflected in the liability section of the Balance Sheet. In December 2007 the Company sold its remaining shareholdings in Polyair for $6.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.3 million.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was (0.5%) and 30.8% respectively. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is primarily attributable to certain non-deductible expenses, the permanent differences associated with the tax treatment of capital gain transactions, the re-valuation of future tax benefits previously not recognized and the reserve provided against certain future tax benefits. In 2006, a reserve was provided against the realization of the Company’s capital and non-capital losses carried forward.

Discontinued Operations. In August 2007 the Company announced its intention to initiate a process to sell its 50.33% investment interest in Distinctive. Effective December 28, 2007 the Company sold its shares and the debt owed by Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. Accordingly, the operating results of Distinctive, a loss of $1,186,997, have been classified by the Company as discontinued operations. Distinctive’s performance for the year ended December 31, 2007 continued to be impacted by a difficult retail environment due, in part, to the rise of the Canadian dollar and by competitive market conditions, primarily from offshore manufacturers. In 2005 Polyair initiated a process to dispose of the assets and business of its Pool Products business segment. The sale of this segment was concluded during 2006. In 2006 Polyair’s management determined that its interests in Cross-Linked Foam and Expanded Polystyrene were not core to its Packaging business and disposed of these two operations. Polyair now operates with its packaging business as its principal business and accordingly, the operating results of its Pool, Cross-Linked Foam and Expanded Polystyrene businesses have been classified by Polyair as discontinued operations. Under an approved Plan of Arrangement during the first quarter of 2007, Polyair’s Pool Division Canadian Subsidiary’s liabilities were settled at a substantial discount and the resultant compromise was reported under Results from Discontinued Operations. Similar to the Canadian Subsidiary, Polyair’s Pool Division US Subsidiary’s liabilities were settled at considerably less than face value. In addition, Polyair realized a gain on the sale of its Cross-Linked Foam business which is included in the Company’s $639,964 share of earnings from discontinued operations of Polyair. Costs associated with the sale and wind down of these businesses by Polyair were also included in Discontinued Operations. There were no significant activities by Polyair’s discontinued operations in the remainder of its 2007 fiscal year.

Net Earnings (loss). Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $3,208,755 as compared to a net loss of $9,129,136 for the comparable 2006 period. The increase in the year-to-date earnings was a result of the gain on the sale of the Company’s investments in Distinctive and Polyair. This gain was offset by the discontinued operation loss of $1,186,997 from Distinctive. The 2006 losses were due to the losses generated at both Distinctive and Polyair, the inclusion of the write-down of the Company’s investment in Polyair and the revaluation of the future income tax benefits on capital and non-capital losses carry forward.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 2008 and 2007

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, short-term investments and cash flow from operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $16.3 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $15.8 million at December 31, 2007. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased to 17.9:1 at December 31, 2008 from 11.2:1 at December 31, 2007.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 the Company’s cash position increased by approximately $3.2 million to $14.2 million from $11.0 million at December 31, 2007. The net increase was due to the following:

Ø	Operating Activities increased cash by $62,315. This was a result of $664,130 in cash generated from operations, including an unrealized gain of $8,136 on foreign exchange, offset by $601,815 of cash used for changes in non-cash components of work capital;

Ø	Financing Activities utilized $7,505 of cash for the purchase of common shares for cancellation;

Ø	Investing Activities increased cash by $3,162,177. This was due to the repayment of notes receivable of $752,459, proceeds of $59,891 received on the redemption of shares in a significantly influenced company and a decrease in short-term investments of $2,349,827.

The Company’s ongoing expected costs include administrative expenses, fees for management and administrative services provided to the Company, legal and audit fees and public company shareholder costs. The Company expects to generate the revenue required in order to service these expenditures from interest and investment income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 2007 AND 2006

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, short-term investments and cash flow from operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $15.8 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased to 11.2:1 at December 31, 2007 from 2.21:1 at December 31, 2006. The increase in working capital and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities resulted from the Company’s sale of its investment interests in Distinctive and Polyair and the proceeds received therefrom.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 the Company’s cash position increased by approximately $7.4 million to $11.0 million from $3.6 million at December 31, 2006. The net increase was due to the following:

Operating Activities decreased cash by $464,096. This was a result of $1,051,146 in cash utilized in operations, including an unrealized loss of $356,272 on foreign exchange, offset by $579,038 of cash provided by changes in non-cash components of work capital and $8,012 of funds provided by discontinued operations.

Investing Activities increased cash by approximately $7.8 million due to proceeds of $420,954 received from the sale of Distinctive and $6,003,795 received from the sale of Polyair, as well as a decrease in short-term investment of approximately of $1.6 million. These increases were offset by a net increase in notes receivable of approximately of $0.2 million.

QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market rates. The Company has reduced the exposure to interest rate risk over the cash flows through the use of fixed rate instruments on certain of its financial liabilities. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter the exposure to interest rate risk.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. This FSP will replace the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. This FSP requires increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold, as well as increased disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this FSP on our consolidated financial statements.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amend FAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 (our Fiscal 2010). We do not anticipate a material impact on our consolidated financial statements of this FSP as our current disclosures meet these requirements.

FAS No. 157-4 In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”), which expand quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 157 about how an entity determines fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and transactions related to such assets and liabilities are not orderly. This pronouncement is effective beginning with the June 30, 2009 interim financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact of FSP FAS No. 157-4 on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

EITF 03-6-1 In June 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. The FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The FSP is effective for years commencing after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the affect of its adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No 162 In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation and presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The statement will be effective 60 days after the SEC approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 161 In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which expands the quarterly disclosures requirements in SFAS No. 133 for derivative instruments and hedging activities, effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

FAS No. 157-2 In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of FASB 157 for certain nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The deferred provisions of FASB 157 affect assets measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The Company adopted these deferred provisions on October 1, 2008 which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FAS No. 157-3 The FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. The FSP clarifies the application of FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The Company adopted these provisions on October 1, 2008 which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 141(R) In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations. The statement provides revised guidance for recognition and measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. It also requires transaction costs for a business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) will impact our accounting for and business combinations we complete after 2008.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, operations and other comprehensive income and cash flows the year ended December 31, 2008. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule II. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated at December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

On March 23, 2009, we reported separately to the shareholders of Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles without a note disclosing the summary of differences between Canadian and United States of America generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the statements of shareholders’ equity, operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 were audited by another firm of Chartered Accountants, who expressed an unqualified opinion in their report dated February 29, 2008 except as to the prior period adjustment described in Note 12 which is as of June 29, 2009.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada - U.S. Reporting Conflict

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when changes in accounting policies, such as those described in Note 1, have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated March 23, 2009, except for Note 12 which is as at August 14, 2009 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated (“the Company”) is a management holding company whose shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Company recently announced that the directors have approved a business combination by way of a proposed amalgamation with Genterra Inc., a company whose shares are traded on the Toronto Venture Exchange. The transaction is subject to the approval of shareholders of both companies and the approval of regulatory authorities. In the interim, the Company’s working capital is held in a combination of cash and liquid marketable securities with risk-adjusted returns.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 2041804 Ontario Inc., a wholly- owned subsidiary. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

1. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fiscal 2008

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) has issued Handbook Sections 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and 3863 “Financial Instruments – Presentation”. These new standards replace Handbook Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” and enhance the disclosure of the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages these risks. These new standards have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2008.

The CICA has issued Handbook Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures”. This section establishes standards for disclosures of both qualitative and quantitative information that enable users to evaluate the company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. These new standards have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2008.

Fiscal 2007

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued the following accounting standards: Handbook Section 1530: Comprehensive Income, Handbook Section 3251: Equity, Handbook Section 3855: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, Handbook Section 3861: Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, Handbook Section 3865: Hedges, and Handbook Section 1506: Accounting Changes. These new standards were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007.

The impact of adoption of CICA Handbook Sections 1530, 3251, 3855, and 3861 in 2007 was as follows:

The Company recorded a transition adjustment effective January 1, 2007, attributable to the following: (i) an increase of $237,135, net of taxes, to the opening balance of Retained Earnings for financial instruments classified as held-for-trading that were not previously recorded at fair value; and (ii) the recognition of $757,088 (2006 - $1,048,467) to the opening balance of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to the Company’s share of unrealized exchange loss of significantly influenced company.

The adoption of Sections 1506 and 3865 had no impact on the Company’s 2007 consolidated financial statements.

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary company. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(b)	Cash and cash equivalents

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in short-term deposits, with maturity of three months or less from dates of placements.

Short-term investments consist of managed funds which invest in marketable securities. These investments are classified as held-for-trading. Fair value of short-term investments is based on the net asset value of the underlying funds.

(d) Investments

Long-term investments in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable, the investment will be written down to its fair value. Any impairment in value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

(e) Translation of Foreign Currency

(i) Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currency are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year. The resulting gains and losses are included in the

consolidated statement of operations.

(ii) The Company’s former investment in its foreign operations (former equity investee) was of a self-sustaining nature. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of foreign operations were translated to Canadian dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses were translated at average rates for the year. Related foreign currency translation adjustments were recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(f) Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value and tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that the rate changes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Estimates made by management include impairment assessment of notes receivable and the basis for current and future income taxes. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

(h) Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the transaction date and any realized gains and losses are recognized using the average cost of the investment.

(i) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares that are outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average of common and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of the incremental number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants using the treasury method.

(j) Stock based Compensation Plans

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 6 (c). The Plan is designed to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefits of the incentive inherent in share ownership by those directors, officers and key employees responsible for the management and growth of the Company’s business. The Plan does not include any provision whereby the vesting of options granted thereunder is in any way limited or restricted. Options granted under the Plan may be exercised for such period as may be determined by the Board of Directors at the time such option is granted. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments using the fair value-based method. Under the fair value-based method, compensation costs attributable to awards to Company employees are measured at fair value at the date of the grant, amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, and charged to earnings with a related credit to contributed surplus. Consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital. The Company has not granted any new options since the adoption of these recommendations. As at December 31, 2008, the Company has no outstanding stock options.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k) Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in determining the recognition, measurement and disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in short-term deposits with maturities of three months or less from dates of placement. Cash and cash equivalents are classed as held-for-trading financial assets and are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to the acquisition or issue. They are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the same period as incurred.

Short-term investments: The Company’s short-term investments consist of portfolio investments and are classified as trading securities. Short-term investments are recorded at fair value with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized on the consolidated statement of operations in the same period as incurred.

Other financial assets: The Company’s other financial assets consist primarily of long-term investments and note receivable.

Note receivable is classified as loans and receivables. This is a non-derivative financial asset with fixed or determinable payments and is not quoted in an active market. This note is initially recognized at the fair value which is determined by discounting the cash flows using the current fair market value rate and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Interest income and impairment write-downs are recognized on the consolidated statement of operations in the same period as incurred. All other gains or losses are recognized when the instrument is removed from the consolidated balance sheet.

Other financial liabilities: The Company’s other financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist primarily of trade payables. They are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material.

(l) Management of Financial Risks

The Company’s financial instruments that are subject to financial risks disclosures consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, note receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to these financial instruments. There have not been any changes in the nature of risks or the process of managing these risks from previous periods. The risks and processes for managing the risks are set out below:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital. It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting it financial obligations as they fall due.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Management of Financial Risks (continued)

Liquidity Risk (continued)

The Company’s objective is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, the Company seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected requirements for a period of twelve months. At the balance sheet date, the Company expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonable expected circumstances.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Company invests surplus cash in treasury bills, publicly traded corporate bonds and loans receivable. In doing so, the Company exposes itself to fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market. The net annualized effect for the year of a 0.5% decrease in the interest rate at the balance sheet date on these financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in post-tax earnings of approximately $47,000 (2007 - - $37,000). A 0.5% increase in the interest rate would, on the same basis, have increased post-tax earnings by the same amount.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results. Cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2008 includes US$35,892 (December 31, 2007 – US$8,773,972). Currency gains (losses) are reflected as a separate component of expenses. The effect for the year of a $0.01 strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar on the Company’s US Dollar denominated amounts carried at the balance sheet date (all other variables held constant) would have resulted in an increase in post-tax earnings of approximately $240 (2007 - $58,000). A $0.01 weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased post-tax earnings by the same amount. At December 31, 2008, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange commitments.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company moderates this risk through a careful selection and diversification of securities and other financial instruments within the limits of the Company’s objectives and strategy. Price fluctuations of the global equity markets could impact the performance of the Company’s short-term investments.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Management of Financial Risks (continued)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

(ii) Short-term investments held by reputable professional hedge fund managers can be withdrawn in any given month and therefore credit risk is considered minimal.

(m) Capital Management

The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to create and maximize shareholder value through internal growth of investments and acquisitions of companies having synergistic product lines and technologies, management strength and a presence in markets with the potential for sales of complementary products. The Company’s investment strategy, which has been applied successfully in the past, is to assist operating units in taking advantage of their strengths by investment in and by the provision of management and merchant banking services, with the objective of creating added value to the Company and its shareholders.

The Company considers its total capitalization to consist of shareholders’ equity. There have been no changes in what the Company considers to be capital since the previous year. The Company does not have a formal policy in measuring any net debt to equity and net debt to total capitalization ratios as the Company does not currently have any debt obligations.

As at December 31, 2008, the Company has no externally imposed capital requirements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company’s financial reporting under Canadian GAAP are summarized below:

In February 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Handbook Section 1000, “Financial Statement Concepts” to clarify the criteria for recognition of an asset and the timing of expense recognition. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company will apply the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 commencing January 1, 2009. The implementation of the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

In February 2008, the CICA issued a new accounting standard, Handbook Section 3064, concerning goodwill and intangible assets. The new section replaces the existing guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets and research and development costs. The new section provides additional guidance on measuring the cost of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard but does not believe it will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that the adoption of IFRS would be effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 for Canadian publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. IFRS will replace Canada’s current GAAP for these enterprises. Comparative IFRS information for the previous fiscal year will also have to be reported. These new standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of IFRS to our consolidated financial statements. This will be an ongoing process as new standards and recommendations are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the AcSB. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser. The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual installments of $100,000, with the first installment due on January 15, 2009. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. Over the past number of years, Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes the above reserve is appropriate. As a result, the deferred gain on the sale of this investment has also been adjusted (Note 5).

5. DEFERRED GAIN

Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser. The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000, with the first instalment due on January 15, 2009. The note is secured by shares of Distinctive. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. Under Emerging Issues Committee Abstract 79, the gain on sale is only recognized in the statement of operations to the extent it is realized. Accordingly, $420,953 of the gain on the sale has been deferred at December 31, 2007.

Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes a reserve on the promissory note is appropriate. As a result, the deferred gain has been adjusted and the reduction of $378,903 has been set off against the impairment loss on note receivable and included in expenses on the consolidated statement of operations (Note 3).

12.	SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Differences between generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and those generally accepted in the United States of America (United States) are summarized below:

(a)

The Company's acquisitions of Distinctive Designs Furniture Inc., previously a significantly influenced company, and Kroehler Furniture Group Inc., a formerly consolidated subsidiary, were accounted for by the purchase method under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, these non-arm’s length acquisitions must be accounted for by the pooling of interests method. The accounting has been adjusted accordingly.

(b)	Comprehensive income:

For U.S. GAAP the Company has recorded the short term investments in quoted securities as available for sale securities which are recorded at fair market value with all unrealized holding gain and losses reflected in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, for U.S. GAAP, the Company has certain instruments for which readily determinable fair values are not available which are carried at cost, unless the investments are determined to be impaired in which case they are written down to estimated fair value, if less than cost. Unquoted investments were incorrectly recorded in 2006 and 2007 at fair market value. This has been corrected by a restatement of the 2006 and 2007 financial statements. Under Canadian GAAP for 2006, short term investments were carried at historical cost with losses in value being recognized in income only when the loss in value is other than temporary and increases in value being recognized only when realized. During 2007 and 2008 under Canadian GAAP the short term investments are carried at fair market value with all gains and losses reflected in the statement of operations.

(c)	Stock-based compensation plans:

Commencing in 2002, the Company’s accounting policy to record compensation costs for stock options at fair value is comparable to the U.S. pronouncement under FASB No. 123. No stock options were granted in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

(d)	Investments

Certain investees of the company have differences between U.S. GAAP and Cdn GAAP accounting and disclosures. These differences affect the company’s equity share of their earnings.

(e)	Financial statement presentation

Certain financial statement presentation is required by US GAAP that is not required for Cdn. GAAP as follows:

·	The deferred gain has been reclassified to reduce the corresponding note receivable

·	Disclosure of trade accounts payable separate from accrued liabilities

·	The statement of cash flows is prepared starting from net income rather than net income from continuing operations

·	Interest and investment income should be disclosed as other non-operating

Income

·	Equity in discontinued operations of an equity investee should be included with equity in continuing operations of the equity investee.

·	Provisions under Fin 48 should be shown as long-term liability

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) requires disclosure of comprehensive income, which includes reported net earnings adjusted for other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The following table presents comprehensive income and its components.

The CICA has adopted changes to Handbook Section 1530 Comprehensive Income which harmonizes Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP. The CICA requires mandatory implementation of these standards for interim and annual financial statements relating to years commencing on or after January 1, 2007.

The effect on earnings for the above differences between accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and those generally accepted in the United States are summarized as follows:

Prior period adjustment

The previously issued financial statements have been restated to correct an error in the accounting for short term investments. Previously, the Company improperly accounted for its investments in investment funds as available for sale securities in accordance with FAS 115. Under U.S. GAAP, as those investments do not have readily determinable fair values, they should be reported at cost, unless the investments are determined to be impaired in which case they are written down to estimated fair value, if less than cost. The following schedules disclose the impact of correcting this error on the previously reported 2007 and 2006 U.S. GAAP amounts.

Accounting policy

Accounts and notes receivable

Notes and accounts receivable are recorded under the terms of the agreement or at the invoiced amount, are periodically assessed for recoverability and an allowance for doubtful accounts established. A note or account receivable is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest. Interest income is not recognized when a note or account receivable becomes uncollectible.

Notes receivable

For Canadian GAAP purposes the Company discloses the non-interest bearing note receivable as part of Notes Receivable and the deferred gain related thereto as a long-term liability. In these financial statement the net amount has been disclosed as an asset or liability as appropriate.

Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser. The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000, with the first instalment due on January 15, 2009. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. Over the past number of years, Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes the above reserve is appropriate.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

The Company adopted FAS 157 for its financial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value instruments. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices, included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:

·	Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variable over time);

·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates, etc); and;

·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by other observable market data.

The Company’s assets are measured as follows:

Cash – the carrying value of cash approximates fair value as maturities are less than three months. Cash has been valued using the market value technique.

Short-term investments – The estimated fair values of the short term investments are based on quoted market prices and/or other market data for the same or comparable instruments and transactions in establishing the price. Short-term investments are valued using the market value technique.

Notes receivable – The estimated fair value of the note receivable is based on unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observed market data. Notes receivable are valued using the income approach technique.

Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements:

FAS No. 157-2 In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of FASB 157 for certain non-financial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The deferred provisions of FASB 157 affect assets measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The Company will adopt these deferred provisions on January 1, 2009 and does not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FAS No. 157-3 The FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. The FSP clarifies the application of FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The Company will adopt these provisions on January 1, 2009 and does not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

EITF 03-6-1 In June 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. The FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The FSP is effective for years commencing after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the affect of its adoption may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Review of First Quarter Results March 31, 2009 and 2008

Revenue. Investment revenue amounted to $121,115 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to an investment loss of $66,043 for the comparable 2008 period. The increase was due to the improved results achieved from the Company’s investment portfolio.

Administrative and General Expenses. Administrative and general expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, and public company shareholder costs. Administrative and general expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $135,382 and $124,941 respectively.

Gain on Foreign Exchange. Gain on foreign exchange for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,364 and $ 308,476 respectively. During the period under review, the Company held minimal funds denominated in United States dollars. The gain for the 2008 comparable period resulted from the effect of the strengthening of the United States Dollar on the Company’s U.S. dollar holdings on hand at that time.

Other expenses. Effective December 28, 2007, the Company sold all of its investment interest in Distinctive to Distinctive’s other major shareholder. The proceeds from the sale of the shares was satisfied by a promissory note issued by the purchaser. The note which is non-interest bearing has been discounted and is repayable in ten equal consecutive annual instalments of $100,000, with the first instalment due on January 15, 2009. The first instalment was received in April 2009. This note is only due and payable in any given year if Distinctive continues its business. Over the past number of years Distinctive incurred substantial operating losses. Distinctive continues to be impacted by a difficult retail environment as a result of competitive market conditions and the poor global economy and accordingly, management of the Company believes a reserve is appropriate. As a result, the Company has reserved $19,000 against the accretion interest on this discounted note for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Equity Earnings. Equity in earnings of significantly influenced company was $2,955 for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to equity earnings of $1,488 for the comparable 2008 period.

Income Tax Provision. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was (1.7%) and 1.3% respectively. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the permanent differences associated with the tax treatment of capital gain transactions and the valuation allowance provided against certain future tax benefits.

Net Earnings (loss). Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $29,448 as compared to net earnings of $117,363 in the comparable 2008 period. The 2008 quarterly earnings was impacted by the poor performance of the equity markets and the foreign exchange gain resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, short-term investments and cash flow from operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $16.2 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2008. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 17.2:1 at March 31, 2009 and 17.9:1 at December 31, 2008.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company’s cash position increased by approximately $680,000 to $14.9 million from $14.2 million at December 31, 2008. The net increase was due to the following:

Ø	Operating Activities increased cash by $9,008. This was a result of $67,982 in cash generated from operations, offset by $58,974 of cash used for changes in non-cash components of work capital;

Ø	Investing Activities increased cash by $670,571 as a result of the decrease in the Company’s short-term investments

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2009

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent audited consolidated financial statements except as noted below. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by the generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in this prospectus. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included..

In February 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Handbook Section 1000, “Financial Statement Concepts” to clarify the criteria for recognition of an asset and the timing of expense recognition. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company applied the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 commencing January 1, 2009. The implementation of the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 does not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures as these amendments are clarifications on the application of Handbook Section 1000.

In February 2008, the CICA issued a new accounting standard, Handbook Section 3064, concerning goodwill and intangible assets. The new section replaces the existing guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets and research and development costs. The new section provides additional guidance on measuring the cost of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The implementation of this new standard does not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

The Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) issued a new abstract on January 20, 2009, concerning the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (“EIC-173 – Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”) (the “Abstract”). The Abstract was issued to consider the diversity in practice as to whether an entity’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty are taken into account in determining the fair value of financial instruments. The Committee reached a consensus that these risks should be taken into account in the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Abstract is effective for all financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in interim and annual financial statements issued for periods ending on or after the date of issuance of the Abstract with retrospective application without restatement of prior periods. The Company applied the new Abstract at the beginning of its current fiscal year. The implementation does not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2009, the CICA issued new accounting standards, Handbook Section 1582 “Business Combinations”, Handbook Section 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests”, and Handbook Section 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, which are based on the International Accounting Standards Board’s (“IASB”) International Financial Reporting Standard 3, “Business Combinations”. The new standards replace the existing guidance on business combinations and consolidated financial statements. The objective of the new standards is to harmonize Canadian accounting for business combinations with the international and U.S. accounting standards. The new standards are to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier application permitted. Assets and liabilities that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates preceded the application of the new standards shall not be adjusted upon application of these new standards. Section 1602 should be applied retrospectively except for certain items. The Company is currently assessing the impact these new standards may have on its results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards

The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that the adoption of IFRS would be effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 for Canadian publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. IFRS will replace Canada’s current GAAP for these enterprises. Comparative IFRS information for the previous fiscal year will also have to be reported. These new standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company continues the process of evaluating the potential impact of IFRS to our consolidated financial statements. This will be an ongoing process as new standards and recommendations are issued by the ISAB and the AcSB. While the Company continues its work on the initial planning and assessment stage, including involvement in various training programs, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Investments

Long-term investments in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable, the investment will be written down to its fair value. Any impairment in value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Investments as at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consist of the following:

	March 31, 2009		December 31, 2008

Investment in significantly influenced company – at equity (1.5%)		$295,382		$292,427

Comparative Figures

Certain 2008 figures have been reclassifed from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the 2009 unaudited interim financial statements.

Proposed Amalgamation

The Company recently announced that its directors have approved a business combination by way of a proposed amalgamation with Genterra Inc., a company whose shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies and the approval of the regulatory authorities.

SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING

PRINCIPLES

(a)

(b)	Comprehensive income:

U.S. GAAP requires investments in available for sale securities and trading securities to be recorded at fair market value and all unrealized holding gain and losses reflected in the shareholders’ equity. Under Canadian GAAP, long-term investments (available for sale securities) were carried at historical cost with losses in value being recognized in income only when the loss in value is other than temporary and increase in value being recognized only when realized. Marketable securities (trading securities) were carried at cost with realized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations. The CICA has adopted changes to Handbook Section 1530 Comprehensive Income which harmonizes Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP. The Company has adopted the Canadian standard for interim and annual financial statements effective January 1, 2007.

(c)	Stock-based compensation plans:

(d)	Investments

Certain investees of the company have differences between U.S. GAAP and Cdn GAAP accounting and disclosures. These differences affect the company’s equity share of their earnings.

(e)	Financial statement presentation

Certain financial statement presentation is required by US GAAP that is not required for Cdn. GAAP as follows:

·	The deferred gain has been reclassified to reduce the corresponding note receivable

·	Disclosure of trade accounts payable separate from accrued liabilities

·	The statement of cash flows is prepared starting from net income rather than net income from continuing operations

(f)	There are no new material items to reconcile Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP that need to be quantified.

Mirtronics was a holding company whose principal holding at the time of the aforementioned amalgamation was a 20.5% (31.1% fully diluted) equity interest in Synergx Systems Inc. (“Synergx”), a public company whose shares trade on NASDAQ. Synergx produces and services control systems for fire, life safety, commercial security and other purposes in the Metropolitan areas of New York City and Dallas, Texas.

Until September 30, 2002, Mirtronics effectively controlled Synergx through ownership of 31.3% of its issued shares (41% on a fully diluted basis). On September 30 2002, Synergx completed a private placement of shares and warrants to third parties, and on October 17, 2002, Mirtronics sold 140,000 Synergx shares to third parties. In May 2003 Mirtronics sold a further 30,000 shares of Synergx to a third party. As a result, Mirtronics holdings in Synergx were reduced to 20.5% (31.1% fully diluted), and Mirtronics no longer effectively controlled Synergx.

In December 2003, Mirtronics exercised a previously granted warrant to purchase an additional 620,000 common shares of Synergx. Genterra Investment held 161,668 common shares of Synergx at the date of the amalgamation which became the property of Genterra. In September 2004, Genterra sold 25,000 common shares of Synergx to third parties. During the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2005 Genterra sold 684,750 common shares of Synergx. As a result, at September 30, 2005, Genterra's percentage holding in Synergx was reduced to 17.13%, fully diluted. Accordingly, Genterra no longer exercised significant influence over the operations of Synergx and effective June 30, 2005 ceased recording its share of earnings of Synergx and accounted for this investment on the cost basis.

In January 2007, Genterra sold its entire remaining position in Synergx to an unrelated third party.

Genterra Investment was formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario by Articles of Amalgamation dated April 30, 1999, amalgamating Genterra Capital Incorporated and Unavest Capital Corp. under the name Genterra Investment Corporation. Genterra Capital Incorporated was formed by Articles of Amalgamation dated February 28, 1997, amalgamating Genterra Capital Corporation, First Corporate Capital Inc. and Mutec Equities Ltd. Genterra Capital Corporation was formed by Articles of Amalgamation dated September 1, 1995, amalgamating Equican Capital Corporation, Wendellco Realty Inc. and Glendale Realty Holdings Inc. Equican Capital Corporation was incorporated in Ontario by Articles of Amalgamation dated December 4, 1987.

In June 2008, Genterra completed the reorganization of its share capital and its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Ninety Ontario Street Inc. (“Ontario Street”). Both the reorganization and the acquisition were approved by shareholders at Genterra’s annual and special meeting held on March 4, 2008. As a result of the reorganization, Genterra’s Class A Subordinate Voting shares, Class B Multiple voting shares and the six classes of non-voting preferred shares were reclassified into one class of voting common shares and two classes of non-voting convertible Preference shares – the Class A Series 1 Preference shares and the Class B Preference shares. The new common shares were listed and began trading on the TSXV under the symbol “GIC” on June 10, 2008.

Description of the Business

Reference to Genterra includes the operations of its subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires.

a) Real Estate:

There is no specific policy as to the amount or percentage of assets which are invested in any specific property.

b) Investment in Real Estate Mortgages:

c) Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate Activities:

d) Investment in Other Securities:

Genterra may purchase bonds, common stock, or preferred stock. There is no restriction on industry groups or the percentage of its assets which it may invest.

The purchases in securities may include but are not limited to those listed on national securities exchanges. There are no specific criteria or limitations on the investment in other securities.

Legal Proceedings

In the opinion of management, Genterra is not currently involved in any litigation or proceedings which are material either individually or in the aggregate and to Genterra’s knowledge, no legal proceedings of a material nature involving Genterra are currently contemplated by any individuals, entities or governmental authorities.

In the normal course of its operations, subsidiaries and/or equity investees of Genterra have been or, from time to time, may be named in legal actions seeking monetary damages.

Exchange Controls

The Investment Canada Act (the "ICA"), which became effective on June 30, 1985, prohibits the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise in Canada by non-Canadians without prior consent of the Investment Canada Agency (with ultimate appeal to the Federal Cabinet), unless such acquisition is exempt under the provisions of the ICA. Both acquisition of natural resource properties and acquisition of producing properties may be considered to be the acquisition of control of a Canadian business enterprise for ICA purposes. The ICA also covers acquisition of control of Canadian corporate enterprises, whether by purchase of assets or shares. As at December 31, 2008, all of the directors of the Company are, and 96.1% of its voting shares were owned by Canadians. Genterra is satisfied that it complies with ICA at present and accordingly is not a non-Canadian person as defined in ICA.

101

Apart from the ICA, there are no other limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote securities imposed by Canadian law or the Articles of Incorporation of Genterra. There are no other decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of Capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of Genterra’s securities except as discussed at Paragraph E, "Taxation."

Taxation

The following is a general discussion of the income tax aspects under Canadian law relating to ownership of Genterra’s Common Shares, Genterra Class A Shares and Genterra Class B Shares. These income tax aspects will vary according to the circumstances of each shareholder, including his place of residence and the place in which he carries on business or has a permanent establishment, as the case may be, so that a shareholder must investigate the tax consequences of his personal situation by obtaining advice from his own tax advisor. This summary does not consider U.S. federal or state income tax provisions or Canadian Provincial income tax provisions, which may be at variance with the provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice.

Dividends paid to a non-resident of Canada, including distributions or redemptions which are treated as dividends and certain stock dividends, are subject to Canadian income tax. The Canadian non-resident withholding tax would be withheld by the Company who would remit only the net amount to the shareholder. By virtue of Article X of the Canada United States Tax Convention, which came into force on August 16, 1984 (and was amended by the Protocol signed on September 21, 2007), the rate of tax for dividends paid to a resident of the U.S. is limited to 15%. The withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% for a corporate shareholder owning at lease 10% of the voting stock of the Company, either directly or through an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and is not a resident of Canada. In the absence of any treaty provisions, the rate of tax imposed would be 25% of the applicable amounts.

Stock dividends received by non-residents from Genterra would be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax as noted above, to the extent that the paid-up capital of Genterra has been increased as a result of the stock dividend.

Gain from the sale of Common Shares and Preference Shares of Genterra by a non-resident of Canada will not be subject to Canadian tax provided the shareholder has not held a "substantial interest" (25% or more of the shares of any class of Company stock) in the Company, at any time in the five preceding years. By virtue of Article XIII of the Canada-United States Tax Convention, shareholders who are resident in the United States and hold a substantial interest in Genterra’s Common Shares or Preference Shares will not be subject to Canadian tax on gain from sale of the shares of Genterra provided that the value of the shares does not derive principally from real property situated in Canada.

102

Review of Year-End Results September 30, 2008 and 2007

Revenue. Rental revenue for the year ended September 30, 2008 was $2,613,587, an increase of $38,384 as compared to $2,575,203 for the comparable 2007 period. The increase in rental revenue was attributable to the acquisition of Ontario Street and the increase in rent resulting from the finalization of lease negotiations with a tenant at Genterra’s Wendell Avenue property.�� This increase was offset by the 2007 renegotiation of leases with Genterra’s large single purpose tenant on its properties located in Cambridge and Hamilton at rates lower than the pre-existing lease and the short term vacancies at the Wendell Avenue property. Investment income for the year ended September 30, 2008 was $169,571 compared to $492,202 for the comparable 2007 period. The decrease in investment income was due to the poor performance of the equity markets during the period.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, financing expenses and public company shareholder costs. Administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2008 were $782,709 compared to $533,952 in the comparable 2007 period. The increase for the year ended September 30, 2008 is due to the inclusion of a bonus paid to an officer of Genterra, additional expenses associated with the purchase of Ontario Street and increased costs associated with public company regulatory compliance requirements.

Gain on Foreign Exchange. Genterra holds certain amounts of its cash in United States dollars. Genterra experienced a foreign exchange gain of $264,872 during the year ended September 30, 2008. This compares to a foreign exchange loss of $625,215 for the comparable 2007 period. The gain for the year ended September 30, 2008 resulted from the strengthening of the United States Dollar.

Rental Real Estate Operating Expenses. Rental real estate operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2008 were $1,266,062 compared to $1,107,517 for the comparable 2007 period. The increase in rental real estate operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Ontario Street during the year.

Other Expenses. Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2008 was $204,136 compared to $230,698 for the comparable 2007 period. Amortization for the year ended September 30, 2008 was $544,633 compared to $571,975 for the comparable 2007 period. On June 27, 2008 Genterra issued retractable preference shares for the purchase of Ontario Street. These shares are classified as debt and the cumulative dividends are recorded as an expense of operations. During the year ended September 30, 2008 Genterra recorded cumulative dividends of $101,819 on these preference shares.

Income Tax Provision. During the twelve month period ended September 30, 2008 Genterra recorded an income tax recovery of $153,988. This compares to an income tax expense of $277,414 for the comparable 2007 period. The year ended September 30, 2008 includes a future income tax recovery of approximately $194,000 to reflect the January 1, 2008 reduction of

statutory income tax rates from 36.1% to the substantively enacted tax rate of 29%. The effective tax rates were (103.6)% and 24.0% for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The difference between Genterra’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is due to permanent differences primarily associated with the tax treatment of dividends on retractable preference shares and capital gain transactions and the above noted tax recovery.

Net Earnings. Net earnings for the year ended September 30, 2008 was $302,659 compared to net earnings of $879,584 for the comparable 2007 period. The 2008 results were impacted by the poor performance of equity markets during the period, increased administrative expenses, the dividends on the cumulative retractable preference shares, a gain on foreign exchange and a future tax recovery due to tax rate adjustments. The 2007 net earnings included approximately $950,000 (net of taxes) from a gain on the sale of Genterra’s investment in Synergx Systems Inc (“Synergx”).

Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on the results of Genterra’s operations during the periods under review and it is not anticipated to materially impact Genterra’s operations during the current fiscal year.

Review of Year-End Results September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenue. Rental revenue for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $2,575,203, a decrease of $579,618 as compared to $3,154,821 for the comparable 2006 period. The decrease in rental revenue compared to the 2006 period was attributable to the renegotiation of leases with the Company’s large single purpose tenant on its properties located in Cambridge and Hamilton at rates lower than the pre-existing lease and the short term vacancies at its Wendell Avenue property. Investment income for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $492,202 as compared to $409,523 for the comparable 2006 period. The increase in annual investment income is due to the increase in the cash and marketable securities and the results achieved from the investment portfolio.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, financing expenses and public company shareholder costs. Administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2007 increased to $533,952 from $504,343 in the comparable 2006 period. Administrative expenses for the 2007 period were impacted by increased costs associated with environmental and public company regulatory compliance requirements.

Bad Debt Recovery. The Company was the holder of a second mortgage on a parcel of vacant land. Due to the inability of the mortgagee to service the mortgage, the Company recorded a reserve in prior years against the collectability of the accrued interest on the mortgage. During the period the Company agreed to release the mortgagee from any further obligation in exchange for full payment of the principal amount of this mortgage along with the accrued interest. Accordingly, in 2006 the Company reversed its reserve of $228,472 against the collectability of the interest on this mortgage.

Loss on Foreign Exchange. The Company holds certain amounts of its cash in United States dollars. Due to the substantial strengthening of the Canadian Dollar during the current period, the Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of $625,215 for the year ended September 30, 2007. This compares to a foreign exchange loss of $85,396 for the year ended September 30, 2006.

Rental Real Estate Operating Expenses. Rental real estate operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2007 were $1,107,517 as compared to $1,095,808 for the comparable 2006 period. The increase in rental real estate operating expenses was primarily due to the increased cost of utilities during the year.

Other Expenses. Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $230,698 and $256,741 for the comparable 2006 period. Amortization for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $571,975 and $618,607 for the comparable 2006 period.

Income Tax Provision. During the twelve month period ended September 30, 2007 the Company recorded income taxes of $277,414. This compares to an expense of $346,808 for the comparative 2006 period. The effective tax rates were 24.0% and 28.2% for the year ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is due to permanent differences primarily associated with the tax treatment of capital gain transactions.

Net Earnings. Net earnings for the year ended September 30, 2007 was $879,584 as compared to net earnings of $885,113 for the comparable 2006 period. The 2007 results were impacted by approximately $950,000 (net of taxes) from a gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in Synergx and the increased performance of the Company’s investment portfolio. This was offset by the foreign exchange loss and increased costs resulting from regulatory compliance requirements. The 2006 net earnings were positively impacted by the bad debt recovery.

Inflation. Inflation has not had a material impact on the results of the Company’s operations during the periods under review and it is not anticipated to materially impact the Company’s operations during the current fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 2008 and 2007

Genterra's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flow from rental, finance and investment operations.

Genterra's working capital amounted to $9,545,491 at September 30, 2008, compared to $10,102,541 at September 30, 2007. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 13.1:1 at September 30, 2008 and 16.1:1 at September 30, 2007. The decrease in working capital and the current ratio is primarily due to the cash utilized to redeem the shares of shareholders dissenting to Genterra’s recent reorganization, the costs associated with the reorganization and the acquisition of Ontario Street.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, Genterra’s cash position decreased by $1,111,339 to $6,824,707. The change was due to the net result of the following increases and utilizations:

Ø	Operating Activities increased cash by $391,151. This was as a result of $678,402 in cash generated from operations and $287,251 of cash utilized for the changes in non-cash components of working capital.

Financing Activities utilized $1,470,268 of cash. Genterra utilized $342,048 to make scheduled repayments of mortgage obligations, $295,240 for reorganization costs and $934,799 for the purchase of shares from shareholders dissenting to the reorganization. Genterra incurred dividends on its newly issued retractable preferred shares of $101,819.

Investing Activities decreased cash by $32,222. Genterra utilized $365,125 in cash for investment in a mortgage receivable and $13,375 in cash for additions to rental real estate properties. Genterra realized $274,343 from a decrease in marketable securities and acquired cash of $71,935 on the acquisition of Ontario Street.

Ø	Cash and cash equivalents were positively impacted by a $264,845 unrealized foreign exchange gain.

111

The following table provides a summary of certain information with respect to Genterra’s capital structure and financial position:

	September 30, 2008	September 30, 2007
Net debt : Shareholders’ equity	0.54 : 1	0.24 : 1
Net debt : Total capitalization	0.35 : 1	0.19 : 1

Genterra anticipates that it will require approximately $3,000,000 in order to meet its ongoing expected costs for the next twelve months. These costs include real estate operating expenses, fees for management and administrative services provided to Genterra, legal and audit fees, financing expenses, public company shareholder costs and income taxes. Genterra expects to generate the revenue required in order to service these expenditures from rental revenue from existing leased real estate, finance and investment income. Genterra also has scheduled long-term debt repayments of approximately $295,000 in the next twelve months. Cash flow from operations will be used to finance these regularly scheduled debt repayments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 2007 AND 2006

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flow from rental, finance and investment operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $10,102,541 at September 30, 2007, compared to $7,346,719 at September 30, 2006. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 16.0:1 at September 30, 2007 and 5.9:1 at September 30, 2006. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the cash generated from rental operations, investment income and the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s investment in Synergx Systems Inc. (“Synergx”). The working capital ratio was positively impacted by the reduction in income taxes payable and trade accounts payable during the period and the cash proceeds realized on the sale of Synergx.

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s cash position increased by $2,433,491 to $7,936,046. The change was due to the net result of the following increases and utilizations:

Ø	Operating Activities increased cash by $57,434. This was as a result of $642,534 in cash generated from operations and $585,100 of cash utilized for the changes in non-cash components of working capital.

Ø	Financing Activities utilized $475,569 in cash to make scheduled repayments on mortgage obligations.

Investing Activities increased cash by $3,445,238. During the year, the Company realized $1,620,707 in cash as a result of the repayment of outstanding notes and mortgages receivable and $2,805,428 from the sale of its investment in Synergx. The Company utilized $47,000 in cash for additions to rental real estate properties and $933,897 to increase its holdings of marketable securities.

Ø	Cash and cash equivalents were negatively impacted by a $593,612 unrealized foreign exchange loss.

QUANTITATIVE and QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we invest in may have market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment will probably decline. We currently maintain an investment portfolio primarily of Canadian Bond obligations and Equity Investments. The average duration of all of our investments in 2008 was less than one year. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe we have no material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments. Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosure is required.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

GENTERRA INC.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of GENTERRA INC. as at September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and with generally accepted auditing standards in Canada. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

The consolidated statements for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles as disclosed in Note 15, have been restated to reflect the changes described in Note 15 to the September 30, 2007 consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

1.	CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General

The Company is incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act, 1982. The Company is a Canadian management holding company operating in Canada with significant interests in real estate properties located in Ontario, Canada. The Company also invests in marketable securities with a portion of its surplus cash on hand.

(b)

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(c)	Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in short-term deposits, with maturity of three months or less from dates of placements. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

(d) Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are carried at fair value with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized during the year. At September 30, 2008, the Company had marketable securities of $1,917,693 with a cost of $1,982,110 At September 30, 2007, the Company had marketable securities of $2,162,025 with a cost of $1,996,999.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e) Rental Real Estate Properties

Rental real estate properties are stated at the lower of cost, net of accumulated amortization, and fair value. Long Lived Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value is determined using the current market values of the properties. Current market values are determined based on the traditional present value method, in which a single set of estimated cash flows and a single interest rate are used. If it is determined that the net recoverable amount of a rental real estate property is less than its carrying value, the rental real estate property is written down to its fair value. Any impairment in value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Amortization of the rental real estate buildings is being provided for over the estimated useful life on a declining balance basis at 5% per annum.

(f) Translation of Foreign Currency

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of the transaction. The resulting gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

(g)	Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Marketable securities: The Company’s marketable securities consist of portfolio investments and are classified as trading securities. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the same period as incurred.

Other financial assets: The Company’s accounts receivable consists primarily of rental receivables. Accounts, note and mortgage receivables are classified as loans and receivables. These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and are not quoted in an active market. They are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material. All other gains or losses are recognized when the instrument is removed from the consolidated balance sheet.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(g) Financial Instruments (Continued)

Other financial liabilities: The Company’s other financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and retractable preference shares.

(i) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist primarily of trade payables. They are initially recognized at the fair value that is directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effect of discounting on these financial instruments is not considered to be material.

(ii) Long-term debts consist of mortgages payable and are initially recognized at the fair value directly attributable to the issue of the instrument. They are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of operation in the same period as incurred. All other gains or losses are recognized when the instrument is removed from the consolidated balance sheet.

(iii) Financial instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability. The Company’s retractable and redeemable Class A preference shares are redeemable for cash at the option of the holder, but also contain a conversion feature into Common shares of the Company. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these shares as financial instruments with both elements of debt and equity on initial recognition. The Company determined that the value attributable to the equity component was nominal.

The holder of the Class A preference shares has indicated that they will not exercise the retraction option within the next twelve months. The Company’s Common shares and Class B preference shares are classified as equity instruments.

(h) Management of Financial Risks

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, note and mortgage receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt and retractable preference shares. The Company is exposed to various risks as it relates to these financial instruments. There have not been any changes in the nature of risks or the process of managing these risks from previous periods. The risks and processes for managing the risks are set out below:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s management of working capital and principal repayments on its debt obligations. It is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting it financial obligations as they fall due.

The Company’s objective is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, the Company seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected requirements for a period of twelve months. The Company also seeks to reduce liquidity risk by fixing interest rates on its long-term borrowings. At the balance sheet date, the Company expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonable expected circumstances.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h) Management of Financial Risks (Continued)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company has reduced its exposure to interest rate risk over the cash flows through the use of fixed rate instruments on certain of its financial liabilities. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Company invests surplus cash in treasury bills and publicly traded corporate bonds, loans and mortgages receivable. Certain long-term borrowings of the Company bear interest on a prime plus basis. In doing so, the Company exposes itself to fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market. The net annualized effect for the year of a 0.5% decrease in the interest rate at the balance sheet date on these financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in post-tax earnings of approximately $21,600 (2007 - - $23,700). A 0.5% increase in the interest rate would, on the same basis, have increased post-tax earnings by the same amount.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results. Cash and cash equivalents as at September 30, 2008 includes US$3,831,601 (September 30, 2007 – US$3,713,565). Currency gains (losses) are reflected as a separate component of expenses. The effect for the year of a $0.01 strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar on the Company’s US Dollar denominated money market instruments carried at the balance sheet date (all other variables held constant) would have resulted in an increase in post-tax earnings of approximately $25,500 (2007 - $24,700). A $0.01 weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased post-tax earnings by the same amount. At September 30, 2008, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange commitments.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company moderates this risk through a careful selection and diversification of securities and other financial instruments within the limits of the Company’s objectives and strategy.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, rental receivables and investments.

(ii) Marketable securities held by reputable professional hedge fund managers can be withdrawn in any given month and therefore credit risk is considered minimal.

(h) Management of Financial Risks (Continued)

Concentration of Credit Risk (continued)

(iii) Credit risk on rental, note and mortgage receivables is minimized as a result of the collateral security held pursuant to legal agreements and leases.

(iv) The Company leases two of its properties to a single tenant accounting for approximately 24.5% of its current rental revenue which constitutes a significant credit concentration. Both leases expire in 2011.

In 2008, the Company had two major leases that accounted for 43.7% and 19.1% respectively of total rent. These leases expire between 2011 and 2016.

(i) Capital Management

The Company’s primary objective when managing capital is to create and maximize shareholder value through the expansion of its portfolio of income producing real estate and the growth of its investments. The Company’s investment strategy is to capitalize on favourable real estate market conditions by acquiring properties that provide the Company with substantial rental income and the potential for future development and capital gain appreciation, with the objective of creating added value to the Company and its shareholders.

The Company considers its total capitalization to consist of long-term debt, Common and Class B preference share capital and accumulated retained earnings as well as its retractable and redeemable Class A preference shares which are classified as a financial liability. There have been no changes in what the Company considers to be capital since the previous year. The Company does not currently have a formal policy in governing any net debt to equity and net debt to total capitalization ratios.

As at September 30, the Company has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements.

(j) Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future.

(k) Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted the straight-line method of recognizing rental revenue whereby the total amount of rental revenue to be received from such leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of lease. Accordingly, an accrued rent receivable or payable is recorded from the tenants for the current difference between the straight line rent recorded as rental revenue and the rent that is contractually due from the tenants.

Revenue from a real estate sale is recognized once all material conditions have been satisfied.

(l) Income Taxes

Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that the rate changes.

(m) Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments

The Company has a single Stock Option Plan (“The Plan”). The Plan is designed to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefits of the incentive inherent in share ownership by those directors, officers and key employees responsible for the management and growth of the Company’s business. The Plan does not include any provision whereby the vesting of options granted thereunder is in any way limited or restricted. Options granted under the Plan may be exercised for such period as may be determined by the Board of Directors at the time such option is granted. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments using the fair value-based method. Under the fair value-based method, compensation costs attributable to awards to Company employees are measured at fair value at the date of the grant, amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, and charged to earnings with a related credit to Contributed Surplus. Consideration paid by employees on exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital. The Company has not granted any new options since the adoption of these recommendations. As at September 30, 2008, the Company has no outstanding stock options.

(n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company’s financial reporting under Canadian GAAP are summarized below:

In February 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Handbook Section 1000, “Financial Statement Concepts” to clarify the criteria for recognition of an asset and the timing of expense recognition. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company will apply the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 commencing October 1, 2008. The implementation of the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 will not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures as these amendments are clarifications on the application of Handbook Section 1000.

In February 2008, the CICA issued a new accounting standard, Handbook Section 3064, concerning goodwill and intangible assets. The new section replaces the existing guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets and research and development costs. The new section provides additional guidance on measuring the cost of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard but does not believe it will have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

3. ACQUISITON OF WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY

On June 27, 2008 the Company acquired 100% of Ninety Ontario Street Inc., a Toronto based real estate company, from First Ontario Investments Inc. (“First”), a related company, for a total consideration of $4,890,000 paid by the issuance of Class A retractable, redeemable preference shares. Two of the directors of the Company are also officers/and or directors of First. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Ninety Ontario Street Inc. are consolidated with those of the Company from June 27, 2008.

The purchase was measured based on an independent valuation of the shares acquired, supported by an independent valuation of the underlying property owned by Ninety Ontario Street Inc.

Pursuant to Section 3863 of the CICA Handbook, a preferred share that gives the holder the right to require the issuer to redeem the share at or after a particular date for a fixed amount meets the definition of a financial liability and is classified as such.

The effect of the above transaction on these consolidated financial statements is as follows:

9. CAPITAL STOCK

On April 24, 2008 the Company filed Articles of Amendment to give effect to a reorganization of its share capital which was approved by shareholders at its annual and special meeting held on March 4, 2008. The share capital reorganization resulted in the reclassification of the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares, Class B Multiple Voting Shares and six classes of non-voting preferred shares into one class of voting Common Shares and non-voting convertible Class B Preference shares. The transaction was accounted for at the carrying amount of the shares exchanged.

In addition, as part of the articles of Amendment filed on April 24, 2008, the Company authorized the issuance of Class A preference shares, issuable in series.

(a)	Authorized

15.	SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

a)	Acquisition of Subsidiary

During 2008 the Company acquired a subsidiary containing a rental real estate property from a non-arms length party. The Company and the vendor in this transaction are under common control. Under Canadian GAAP the purchase was recorded using the appraised value of the property and company with the total purchase price satisfied by the issuance of retractable preference shares by the Company. As common control exists in this transaction, under U.S. GAAP the purchase must be recorded using the pooling of interests method using the historical cost of the property.

b)	Comprehensive income

U.S. GAAP requires investments in available for sale securities and trading securities to be recorded at fair market value and all unrealized holding gain and losses reflected in other comprehensive income. Investments in trading securities are to be recorded at fair value and all unrealized holding gains and losses reflected in income. Under Canadian GAAP, investments were carried at historical cost with losses in value being recognized in income only when the loss in value is other than temporary and increase in value being recognized only when realized. The CICA has adopted changes to Handbook Section 1530 Comprehensive Income which harmonizes Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP. The Company has adopted the Canadian standard for interim and annual financial statements effective October 1, 2006. In the Canadian financial statements the investments are designated as held for trading which records these investments at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in income.

c)	Mezzanine Equity

The redeemable preference shares are considered mezzanine equity for the purposes of U.S. GAAP. Under this standard, the retractable preferred shares should be disclosed outside of total liabilities and before shareholders equity on the balance sheet. Annual dividends are shown as a reduction to retrained earnings and not as an expense to the statement of operations.

d)	Financial statement presentation

Certain financial statement presentation is required by US GAAP that is not required for Cdn. GAAP as follows:

·	Disclosure of unearned rental revenue receivable separate from accounts receivable

·	Disclosure of trade accounts payable separate from accrued liabilities

·	Disclosure of investment income as other revenue and expense rather than part of revenue

·	Inclusion of amortization expense as part of expenses

Comprehensive income

Prior period adjustment

The previously issued financial statements have been restated to correct an error in the accounting for short term investments. Previously, the Company improperly accounted for its investments in investment funds as available for sale securities in accordance with FAS 115. Under U.S. GAAP, as these investments do not have readily determinable fair values, they should be reported at cost, unless the investments are determined to be impaired in which case they are written down to estimated fair value, if less than cost. The change in accounting resulted in a decrease to retained earnings at September 30, 2006 of $9,040, net of future income taxes of $1,991.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, note and mortgages receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

The Company adopted FAS 157 for its financial assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2007. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value instruments. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices, included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:

·	Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variable over time);

·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates, etc); and;

·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by other observable market data.

The Company’s assets are measured as follows:

Cash – the carrying value of cash approximates fair value as maturities are less than three months

Marketable Securities – The estimated fair values of the marketable securities are based on quoted market prices and/or other market data for the same or comparable instruments and transactions in establishing the price.

Note receivable – The estimated fair value of the note receivable is based on unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observed market data.

Mortgage receivable – The estimated fair value of the mortgage receivable is based on inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Long-term debt – The estimated fair value of the mortgages is based on inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements

FAS No. 157-2 In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-2 Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of FASB 157 for certain nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The deferred provisions of FASB 157 affect assets measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The Company will adopt these deferred provisions on October 1, 2008 and does not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FAS No. 157-3 The FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. The FSP clarifies the application of FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The Company will adopt these provisions on October 1, 2008 and does not expect them to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

147

SFAS No. 141(R) in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations. The statement provides revised guidance for recognition and measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. It also requires transaction costs for a business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) will impact our accounting for and business combinations we complete after 2008.*

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion of "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Results of Operations" sets forth items derived from the consolidated statements of operations for the six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. A summary of the differences between Canadian and US accounting principles are detailed in the note to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, marketable securities and cash flow from rental, finance and investment operations.

The Company's working capital amounted to $9,820,149 at March 31, 2009, compared to $9,545,491 at September 30, 2008. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 12.9:1 at March 31, 2009 and 13.1:1 at September 30, 2008. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the cash generated from operations during the period.

During the six month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s cash position increased by $728,022 to $7,552,729. The change was due to the net result of the following increases and utilizations:

- - Operating Activities increased cash by $910,746. This was as a result of $752,333 in cash generated from operations, net of an unrealized gain of $16,969 on foreign exchange, and $158,413 of cash realized due to the changes in non-cash components of working capital.

- - Financing Activities decreased cash by $146,141. The Company utilized $146,141 to make scheduled repayments of mortgage obligations.

- - Investing Activities decreased cash by $36,583. The Company utilized $51,750 in cash for investment in a note and mortgage receivable, $27,850 for expenditures on rental real estate properties and realized $43,017 from a change in the Company’s holdings in marketable securities.

The following table provides a summary of certain information with respect to the Company’s capital structure and financial position:

	March 31, 2009	September 30, 2008
Net debt : Shareholders’ equity	0.55 : 1	0.54 : 1
Net debt : Total capitalization	0.35 : 1	0.35 : 1

The Company anticipates that it will require approximately $2,700,000 in order to meet its ongoing expected costs for the next twelve months. These costs include real estate operating expenses, fees for management and administrative services provided to the Company, legal and audit fees, financing expenses, public company shareholder costs and income taxes. The Company expects to generate the revenue required in order to service these expenditures from rental revenue from existing leased real estate, finance and investment income. The Company also has scheduled long-term debt repayments of approximately $298,000 in the next twelve months. Cash flow from operations will be used to finance these regularly scheduled debt repayments.

Revenue. Rental revenue for the second quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $782,367, an increase of $174,859 as compared to $607,508 for the comparable 2008 period. Rental revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,539,205, an increase of $315,099, as compared to $1,224,106 for the comparable 2008 period. The increase in rental revenue compared to the 2008 period was attributable to the inclusion of rental revenue from the June 2008 acquisition of the Ontario Street property (“Ontario Street”). Investment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $49,382 as compared to investment income of $19,194 for the comparable 2008 period. Investment loss for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $214,714 as compared to investment income of $172,234 for the comparable 2008 period. The decrease in investment income was due to the poor performance of the global equity markets during the period.

151

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses include fees for management and administrative services, legal and audit fees, financing expenses and public company shareholder costs. Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $160,026 as compared to $166,730 for the comparable 2008 period. Administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $269,584 as compared to $296,715 for the comparable 2008 period.

Gain on Foreign Exchange. The Company holds certain amounts of its cash in United States dollars. The Company incurred foreign exchange gains of $3,803 and $468,248 during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009. This compares to foreign exchange gains of $129,963 and $117,223 for the comparable 2008 periods. The gains for three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009 resulted from the strengthening of the United States Dollar. The Company disposed of the majority of its United States Dollars during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Rental Real Estate Operating Expenses. Rental real estate operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $464,646 as compared to $348,789 for the comparable 2008 period. Rental real estate operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $887,580 as compared to $634,617 for the comparable 2008 period. The increase in rental real estate operating expenses is primarily due to the inclusion of expenses relating to the Ontario Street property.

Other Expenses. The Company incurred interest expense of $40,947 and $ 52,137 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. Interest expense for the six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $85,943 and $107,488 respectively. Amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $148,949 and $127,101 respectively. Amortization for the six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $298,991 and $263,844 respectively. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded cumulative dividends of $96,460 and $195,064 respectively on its retractable preference shares respectively. These shares are classified as debt and the cumulative dividends are recorded as an expense of operations.

Income Tax Provision. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded income taxes of $43,817 and $77,975 respectively. This compares to income tax recoveries of $93,675 and $23,868 respectively for the comparative 2008 periods. The effective tax rates were 25.1% and (151.3)% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The effective tax rates were 140.3% and (11.3%) for the six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The difference between the Company’s statutory tax rate and its effective tax rate is due to permanent differences primarily associated with the tax treatment of dividends on retractable preference shares and the tax treatment of capital transactions.

Net Earnings (loss). The Company reported net loss of $218,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared with net earnings of $155,583 for the comparable 2008 period. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $22,398 as compared to net earnings of $234,676 for the comparable 2008 period. The 2009 results were impacted by the poor performance of global equity markets, the dividends on the cumulative retractable preference shares and the foreign exchange gain resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities that we invest in may have market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the principal amount of our investment could decline. We currently maintain an investment portfolio consisting of short-term deposits, Canadian bond obligations and equity investments. Due to the relative short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we have no material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2009

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent audited consolidated financial statements except as noted below. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by the generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2008 included in this prospectus. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

In February 2008, the CICA issued amendments to Handbook Section 1000, “Financial Statement Concepts” to clarify the criteria for recognition of an asset and the timing of expense recognition. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company applied the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 commencing October 1, 2008. The implementation of the amendments to Handbook Section 1000 does not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures as these amendments are clarifications on the application of Handbook Section 1000.

In February 2008, the CICA issued a new accounting standard, Handbook Section 3064, concerning goodwill and intangible assets. The new section replaces the existing guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets and research and development costs. The new section provides additional guidance on measuring the cost of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The implementation of this new standard does not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

158

Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards

The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) confirmed that the adoption of IFRS would be effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 for Canadian publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises. IFRS will replace Canada’s current GAAP for these enterprises. Comparative IFRS information for the previous fiscal year will also have to be reported. These new standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company continues the process of evaluating the potential impact of IFRS to our consolidated financial statements. This will be an ongoing process as new standards and recommendations are issued by the ISAB and the AcSB. While the Company continues its work on the initial planning and assessment stage, including involvement in various training programs, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Financial Instruments – Risks and Risk Management

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s objective is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, the Company seeks to maintain cash balances to meet expected requirements for a period of twelve months. The Company also seeks to reduce liquidity risk by fixing interest rates on its long-term borrowings. At the balance sheet date, the Company expected to have sufficient liquid resources to meet its obligations under all reasonable expected circumstances.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company invests surplus cash in treasury bills and publicly traded corporate bonds, loans and mortgages receivable. Certain long-term borrowings of the Company bear interest on a prime plus basis. In doing so, the Company exposes itself to fluctuations in interest rates that are inherent in such a market. The net annualized effect for the year of a 0.5% decrease in the interest rate at the balance sheet date on these financial instruments would have resulted in a decrease in post-tax earnings of approximately $24,500 (September 30, 2008 - $21,600). A 0.5% increase in the interest rate would, on the same basis, have increased post-tax earnings by the same amount.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that a variation in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies will affect the Company’s operating and financial results. Cash and cash equivalents as at March 31, 2009 includes US$86,094 (September 30, 2008 – US$3,831,601). Currency gains (losses) are reflected as a separate component of expenses. The net annualized effect for the year of a $0.01 strengthening of the US Dollar against the Canadian Dollar on the Company’s US Dollar denominated money market instruments carried at the balance sheet date (all other variables held constant) would have resulted in an increase in post-tax earnings of approximately $1,000 (September 30, 2008 - $25,500). A $0.01 weakening in the exchange rate would, on the same basis, have decreased post-tax earnings by the same amount. At March 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange commitments.

159

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the market value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk). The Company moderates this risk through a careful selection and diversification of securities and other financial instruments within the limits of the Company’s objectives and strategy.

Capital Management

The Company considers its total capitalization to consist of long-term debt, Common and Class B preference share capital and accumulated retained earnings as well as its retractable and redeemable Class A preference shares which are classified as a financial liability. There have been no changes in what the Company considers to be capital since the end of the previous fiscal year. The Company does not currently have a formal policy in governing any net debt to equity and net debt to total capitalization ratios.

As at March 31, 2009, the Company has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements.

Proposed Amalgamation

The Company recently announced that its directors have approved a business combination by way of a proposed amalgamation with Consolidated Mercantile Incorporated, a company whose shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The transaction is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies and the approval of the regulatory authorities.

SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

a)	Acquisition of Subsidiary

GENTERRA INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2009

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (UNAUDITED)

b)	Comprehensive income

For U.S. GAAP the Company has recorded the short term investments in quoted securities as available for sale securities which are recorded at fair market value with all unrealized holding gain and losses reflected in shareholders’ equity. Unquoted investments were incorrectly recorded in 2006 and 2007 at fair market value. This has been corrected by a restatement of the 2006 and 2007 financial statements. Under Canadian GAAP for 2006, short term investments were carried at historical cost with losses in value being recognized in income only when the loss in value is other than temporary and increases in value being recognized only when realized. During 2007 and 2008 under Canadian GAAP the short term investments are carried at fair market value with all gains and losses reflected in the statement of operations.

c)	Mezzanine Equity

The redeemable preference shares are considered mezzanine equity for the purposes of U.S. GAAP. Under this standard, the retractable preferred shares should be disclosed outside of total liabilities and before shareholders equity on the balance sheet. Annual dividends are shown as a reduction to retained earnings and not as an expense to the statement of operations.

d)	Financial statement presentation

Certain financial statement presentation is required by US GAAP that is not required for Cdn. GAAP as follows:

·	Disclosure of unearned rental revenue receivable separate from accounts receivable

·	Disclosure of trade accounts payable separate from accrued liabilities

·	Disclosure of investment income as other revenue and expense rather than part of revenue

·	Inclusion of amortization expense as part of expenses

e)	There are no new material items to reconcile Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP that need to be quantified.

Fair Value Measurements

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices, included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including:

·	Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets (few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variable over time);

·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates, etc); and;

·	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by other observable market data.

The Company’s assets are measured as follows:

Cash – the carrying value of cash approximates fair value as maturities are less than three months. Cash has been valued using the market value technique.

Impact of recent United States accounting pronouncements

Adoption of New Pronouncements During the period, the Company adopted the recommendations of new U.S. GAAP standards EITF 07-1 and SFAS 160. The adoption of these new standards had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

FAS 124-2 and FSP FAS 115-2 In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP amends FAS 115 and FAS No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. This FSP will replace the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not have the intent to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. This FSP requires increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold, as well as increased disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this FSP on our consolidated financial statements.

Revocation of Proxies

A shareholder has the right to revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised. A proxy may be revoked by a written revocation signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized attorney or, where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation. This revocation must be delivered, in the case of Genterra or CMI, to Computershare, Genterra and CMI’s Transfer Agent, at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 (fax: 416-981-9800), at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the Genterra Meeting or the CMI Meeting, as the case may be, or to the chairman at the Genterra Meeting or the CMI Meeting, as the case may be, or any adjournment of any such meeting. A proxy may also be revoked in any other manner provided by law.

Dissent Rights

The following description of the rights of Dissenting Shareholders to dissent in respect of the Amalgamation is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of section 185 of the OBCA, in respect of the Amalgamation, which is attached to this Prospectus as Schedule 5. A registered shareholder who intends to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of that section. Failure to strictly comply with the provisions of that section and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights thereunder.

Genterra Dissent Rights

A Genterra Shareholder is entitled, in addition to any other right such holder may have, to dissent and, if the Amalgamation becomes effective, to be paid by Genterra the fair value of the Genterra Shares held by such holder in respect of which such holder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the resolution from which such holder dissents was adopted. A Genterra Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all of the Genterra Shares held by such holder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder’s name. Only registered holders of Genterra Shares may dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of Genterra Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that they may only do so through the registered owner of such Genterra Shares. A registered holder, such as a broker, who holds Genterra Shares as nominee for beneficial holders, some of whom wish to dissent, must exercise dissent rights on behalf of such beneficial owners with respect to the Genterra Shares held for such beneficial owners. In such case, the demand for dissent should set forth the number of Genterra Shares covered by it.

A Dissenting Shareholder must send to Genterra a written objection to the Special Resolution, which written objection must be received at the head office of Genterra before the Genterra Meeting, or by the chairman of the Genterra Meeting at or before the Genterra Meeting. A Genterra Shareholder wishing to exercise the right to dissent with respect to such holder’s Genterra Shares shall not vote the holder’s Genterra Shares at the Genterra Meeting, either by the submission of a proxy or by personally voting in favour of the Special Resolution. An application may be made to the Court by Genterra or by a Dissenting Shareholder to fix the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder’s Genterra Shares. If such an application to the Court is made by Genterra or a Dissenting Shareholder, Genterra must, unless the Court otherwise orders, send to each Dissenting Shareholder a written offer to pay the Dissenting Shareholder an amount considered by the board of directors to be the fair value of the Genterra Shares. The offer, unless the Court otherwise orders, will be sent to each Dissenting Shareholder at least ten days before the date on which the application is returnable, if Genterra is the applicant, or within ten days after Genterra is served with notice of the application, if a shareholder is the applicant. The offer will be made on the same terms to each Dissenting Shareholder and will be accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined. A Dissenting Shareholder may make an agreement with Genterra for the purchase of such holder’s Genterra Shares in the amount of the offer made by Genterra (or otherwise) at any time before the Court pronounces an order fixing the fair value of the Genterra Shares.

A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in respect of an application and, except in special circumstances, will not be required to pay the costs of the application and appraisal. On the application, the Court will make an order fixing the fair value of the Genterra Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders who are parties to the application, giving judgement in that amount against Genterra and in favour of each of those Dissenting Shareholders, and fixing the time within which Genterra must pay that amount payable to the Dissenting Shareholders. The Court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder calculated from the date on which the Genterra Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Genterra Shareholder, until the date of payment.

173

Upon the Amalgamation becoming effective, or upon the making of an agreement between Genterra and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made by Genterra to the Dissenting Shareholder, or upon the pronouncement of a Court order, whichever first occurs, the Genterra Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a Genterra Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Genterra Shares, in the amount agreed to between Genterra and the Genterra Shareholder or in the amount of the judgement, as the case may be. Until one of these events occurs, the Genterra Shareholder may withdraw its dissent, or Genterra may rescind the Special Resolution, and in either event the dissent and appraisal proceedings in respect of that Genterra Shareholder will be discontinued.

Genterra shall not make a payment to a Dissenting Shareholder under section 185 of the OBCA: (a) if there are reasonable grounds for believing (i) that Genterra is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) that the realizable value of the assets of Genterra would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities; or (b) if on the Effective Date the Dissenting Shareholder is not the owner of the subject Genterra Shares. In such event, Genterra shall notify each Dissenting Shareholder that is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their Genterra Shares, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder may, by written notice to Genterra within 30 days after receipt of such notice, withdraw such holder’s written objection, in which case Genterra shall be deemed to consent to the withdrawal and such Genterra Shareholder shall be reinstated with full rights as a Genterra Shareholder, failing which such Dissenting Shareholder retains a status as a claimant against Genterra to be paid as soon as Genterra is lawfully entitled to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of Genterra but prior to its shareholders.

CMI Dissent Rights

A CMI Shareholder is entitled, in addition to any other right such holder may have, to dissent and, if the Amalgamation becomes effective, to be paid by CMI the fair value of the CMI Shares held by such holder in respect of which such holder dissents, determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the resolution from which such holder dissents was adopted. A CMI Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all of the CMI Shares held by such holder or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder’s name. Only registered holders of CMI Shares may dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of CMI Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that they may only do so through the registered owner of such CMI Shares. A registered holder, such as a broker, who holds CMI Shares as nominee for beneficial holders, some of whom wish to dissent, must exercise dissent rights on behalf of such beneficial owners with respect to the CMI Shares held for such beneficial owners. In such case, the demand for dissent should set forth the number of CMI Shares covered by it.

A Dissenting Shareholder must send to CMI a written objection to the Special Resolution, which written objection must be received at the head office of CMI before the CMI Meeting, or by the chairman of the CMI Meeting at or before the CMI Meeting. A CMI Shareholder wishing to exercise the right to dissent with respect to such holder’s CMI Shares shall not vote the holder’s shares at the CMI Meeting, either by the submission of a proxy or by personally voting in favour of the Special Resolution. An application may be made to the court by CMI or by a Dissenting Shareholder to fix the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder’s CMI Shares. If such an application to the Court is made by CMI or a Dissenting Shareholder, CMI must, unless the Court otherwise orders, send to each Dissenting Shareholder a written offer to pay the Dissenting Shareholder an amount considered by the board of directors to be the fair value of the CMI Shares. The offer, unless the Court otherwise orders, will be sent to each Dissenting Shareholder at least ten days before the date on which the application is returnable, if CMI is the applicant, or within ten days after CMI is served with notice of the application, if a shareholder is the applicant. The offer will be made on the same terms to each Dissenting Shareholder and will be accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined. A Dissenting Shareholder may make an agreement with CMI for the purchase of such holder’s CMI Shares in the amount of the offer made by CMI (or otherwise) at any time before the Court pronounces an order fixing the fair value of the CMI Shares.

A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in respect of an application and, except in special circumstances, will not be required to pay the costs of the application and appraisal. On the application, the Court will make an order fixing the fair value of the CMI Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders who are parties to the application, giving judgement in that amount against CMI and in favour of each of those Dissenting Shareholders, and fixing the time within which CMI must pay that amount payable to the Dissenting Shareholders. The Court may in its discretion allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder calculated from the date on which the shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder, until the date of payment.

Upon the Amalgamation becoming effective, or upon the making of an agreement between CMI and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made by CMI to the Dissenting Shareholder, or upon the pronouncement of a court order, whichever first occurs, the CMI Shareholder will cease to have any rights as a CMI Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of such holder’s shares, in the amount agreed to between CMI and the CMI Shareholder or in the amount of the judgement, as the case may be. Until one of these events occurs, the CMI Shareholder may withdraw its dissent, or CMI may rescind the Special Resolution, and in either event the dissent and appraisal proceedings in respect of that CMI Shareholder will be discontinued.

174

CMI shall not make a payment to a Dissenting Shareholder under section 185 of the OBCA: (a) if there are reasonable grounds for believing (i) that CMI is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (ii) that the realizable value of the assets of CMI would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities; or (b) if on the Effective Date the Dissenting Shareholder is not the owner of the subject shares. In such event, CMI shall notify each Dissenting Shareholder that is unable lawfully to pay Dissenting Shareholders for their shares, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder may, by written notice to CMI within 30 days after receipt of such notice, withdraw such holder’s written objection, in which case CMI shall be deemed to consent to the withdrawal and such CMI Shareholder shall be reinstated with full rights as a CMI Shareholder, failing which such Dissenting Shareholder retains a status as a claimant against CMI to be paid as soon as CMI is lawfully entitled to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of CMI but prior to its shareholders.

Majority of the Minority Approval

The Amalgamation is a “Related Party Transaction” and a “Business Combination” in relation to both CMI and Genterra under MI 61-101 because both CMI and Genterra are directly or indirectly controlled by Fred Litwin, Mark Litwin, and Risa Litwin-Shearer. See “INFORMATION CONCERNING GENTERRA – Principal Security Holders”, and “INFORMATION CONCERNING CMI – Principal Security Holders”.

MI 61-101 requires that, in addition to approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by the CMI Shareholders and two-thirds of the votes cast by Genterra Shareholders, in order to complete the Amalgamation, Majority of the Minority Approval of the Genterra Shareholders and Majority of the Minority Approval of the CMI Shareholders must be obtained. In calculating the votes to determine the required level of approval for the Majority of the Minority Approval, all Excluded Shareholders will be excluded from voting. To the knowledge of the management of Genterra and CMI, a total of 2,946,860 CMI Shares, 9,949,247 Genterra Shares, 326,000 Genterra Class A Shares, and 77,592 Genterra Class B Shares are anticipated to be excluded from voting on the approval of the Amalgamation pursuant to MI 61-101.

PART III

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Section 136 of the BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT (ONTARIO), a director or officer of a corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives:

1. may be indemnified by the corporation against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation or body corporate.

2. may be indemnified by the corporation, with the approval of a court, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action by or on behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate; and

3. is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity was substantially successful on the merits of his defense of the action or proceeding;

PROVIDED, in all cases, such person fulfills the conditions that (a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

A list of Exhibits required to be filed as part of this Registration Statement on Form F-4 is listed in the attached Index to Exhibits and is incorporated herein by reference.

Undertakings

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant or the laws of Ontario, Canada or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

181

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and

(5) To arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above include information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
