B. Capitalization and Indebtedness.

Not Applicable.

C. Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds

Not Applicable.

D. Risk Factors.

The future success of the Company will be affected by many factors that are frequently associated with the development of a new business, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

We Have Incurred Net Losses Since Our Inception and Expect Losses to Continue. Except for net income of $732,000 for fiscal 1996, we have not been profitable since our inception. During the financial year ended February 29, 2004, the Company earned $ 51,000 from the sale of Synthetic Calcium Carbonate ("SCC") samples. No revenues have been earned since the financial year ended February 28, 1999 prior to this date. For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, we had a net loss of $2,244,000 and an accumulated deficit on February 29, 2004 of $39,545,000. The report of independent auditors on our February 29, 2004 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating there is subst antial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we are executing on our business plan to produce and market SCC, continuing losses will impair our ability to fully meet plant construction and expansion goals and will further impair our ability to meet continuing operating expenses. Lack of operating funds may result in staff reductions and curtailing the construction currently planned. See risk factor entitled "If We Are Unable to Raise Funds Our Growth May Be Adversely Affected" below.

If We Are Unable to Raise Funds Our Growth May Be Adversely Affected. Historically, we have had to seek capital for research and development of our SCC due to lack of revenues. Based on the available amount of $2,135,000 of a $2,500,000 line of credit with Epsom, we believe we will have sufficient working capital to continue current operations for the next 12 months. However, if we do not raise $10 million the Company will be unable to build the first phase of its planned plant. The second phase will require $180 million. The Company believes that due to the environmental aspect of the technology, substantial grants and loans will be available. However, in the event that there is a cash shortage and we are unab le to obtain a debt financing or grants, additional equity financing will be required. The proposed plants in Germany and the Republic of Slovakia will also require additional funds, if the Company’s revenues or grants are unable to cover the building expenses. Seeking additional financing would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders.

Our Inability to Protect Our Patents and Other Proprietary Rights Could Adversely Impact Our Competitive Position. We believe that our patents and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. Accordingly, we devote substantial resources to the establishment and protection of our patents and proprietary rights. We currently hold patents for processes and have patents pending for additional processes that we intend to use to market PCC. However, our actions to establish and protect our patents and other proprietary rights may be inadequate to prevent others from using our process outside of the jurisdiction of our patent or to prevent others from claimin g violations of their patents and proprietary rights by us. If our processes are challenged as infringing upon patents of other parties, we will be required to modify our processes, obtain a license or litigate the issue, all of which may have an adverse business effect on us.


	3

Failure to Protect Our Trade Secrets May Assist Our Competitors.We protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how for our processes by various methods, including the use of confidentiality agreements with employees and strategic partners. However, such methods may not provide complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not obtain our know-how or independently develop the same or similar technology. We prepare and file for patent protection on aspects of our technology, which we think will be integrated into final processes early in research phases, thereby limiting the potential risks.

We Have Never Produced SCC on a Commercial Scale.The Company has been operating a 10 kg per hour pilot plant based in Norway which was moved to Leuna in Germany in 2002. The equipment has now been scaled up on a ratio of approximately 60:1 but still requires to be scaled up on a ratio of approximately 20:1 at the next stage. Although specialist suppliers of filtration and drying equipment have conducted trials for the Company and found the scale up ratio to be within acceptable limits, there are no guarantees that the technology will operate as planned or that costs for additional modifications will not occur.

Our Competitors May Develop a Competing Technology. The Company’s competitive advantage depends on its ability to use waste lime, which is a waste product available at little or no cost. If competitors are able to develop a competing technology, the Company may no longer have the free or low cost source of raw material.

Our SCC Product is at Initial Market Introduction and We Are Not Sure the Market Will Accept it.The market acceptance of SCC produced by our process for use in pharmaceutical and food additives will depend upon consumers and members of the medical community accepting them. Although the Company’s process can produce pure SCC from waste lime and certain letters of intent for the supply from the first commercial plant have been signed, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to convince customers to convert these to contracts of purchase, limiting the number of potential customers for our product to paper or chemical producers. Failure to achieve market share in these industr ies could have material adverse effects on our long-term business, financial condition and results of operation.

Existing shareholders may be diluted if the holders of the Convertible Debentures chose to convert.The holders of the Convertible Debenture may after one year or on any prior dividend payment date up to maturity thereafter, convert the amount outstanding into common shares at the greater of 75% of the average closing price for the ten trading days prior to the conversion or the market price at date of the sale of the debenture.

Item 4. Information on the Company

A. History and Development of the Company

CalciTech Ltd. (the "Company" or "CalciTech"), a Bermuda Company is a development stage company that has developed a new process for manufacturing high quality Synthetic Calcium Carbonate ("SCC"). The Company’s process produces SCC from waste lime and air polluting carbon dioxide. SCC is a white pigment. It is also a calcium source for pharmaceuticals and food. As of the date of this report, the Company has no facilities to commence production of SCC on a full commercial scale.

Originally, the Company was formed on November 9, 1978, under the laws of British Columbia, Canada with the name Cornwall Petroleum & Resources Ltd. The Company then changed its name to Rexplore Resources International Limited and was engaged in petroleum and resource development. In December of 1987, the Company was restructured and the prior management replaced in connection with


	4

the acquisition of a license to develop Trylene Gas. In July of 1994, the Company changed its domicile from British Columbia, Canada to Bermuda and changed its name from Kemgas Sydney Ltd. to Kemgas Ltd. On July 25, 2000, the Company changed its name from Kemgas Ltd. to its present name, CalciTech Ltd., to better reflect the Company’s change in business to the production and sale of SCC.

The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Ltd that has four wholly owned companies, CalciTech Group Services SA (in formation), a Swiss corporation, Kemgas North American Inc., a Delaware corporation and CalciTech Holdings Aps, a Danish corporation. The Company also owns through its CalciTech Holdings Aps, a 51% interest in CalciTech Odda A.S., a Norwegian corporation and a 100% interest in CalciTech Deutschland GmbH, a German corporation. The term "Company" or "CalciTech" hereinafter refers to CalciTech Ltd. and its subsidiaries. For the purpose of commercializing its technology, the Company established CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Ltd, a new wholly owned Bermuda company and transferred on 1^st February, 2003 to it its entire SCC intellectual property rights and associated business activity. At the end of the financial year, CalciTech Group Services SARL, a French corporation, was sold.

The Company’s administration headquarters are located at World Trade Centre, 10 Route de l’Aeroport, Geneva, Switzerland. The Company has no full scale commercial plants at present. It is engaged in product development in a small scale production plant located in Leuna, Germany. The small scale production plant, whilst not a full size commercial plant, is also a commercial plant. This plant is currently producing bulk samples specifically to support the sales activity to place the first 40,000 ton plant production when it is commissioned. It is intended that the plant will continue to produce and sell its sample material to support other projects in other regions, once the plant at Leuna is commissioned. The Company is engaged in the development and preliminary stages for planne d full scale commercial plants including Germany and The Republic of Slovakia. The latter through a joint venture agreement signed in September 2003. See "B. Business Overview - Business Activities." No assurance can be given that the planned plants will be economically or technically feasible. The Company has generated no cash flows from its operations. See "Item 3D Risk Factors."

B. Business Overview

Principal Product - Synthetic Calcium Carbonate ("SCC")

Since June of 1999, the Company has actively pursued its plan to develop and commercialize SCC from waste lime using the Company's own proprietary process. Acutely aware of the industrial waste created from the production of acetylene gas, a former business of the Company, the Company has moved forward to develop a method to extract a commercial product from what is considered to be waste product. Waste lime is generated from (i) the production of acetylene gas, (ii) manufacture of dicyandiamide from calcium cyanamide and (iii) manufacture of other chemical and mineral processes. In its pursuit to turn an environmental problem into a commercially viable business, the Company developed its proprietary process to extract and produce quality SCC from waste lime. SCC is a white filler pigment and is used for paper filling and coating, and is used in paint, polymers, food and pharmaceuticals.

Currently, the Company is planning the final details to build its first commercial scale plant and is engaged in sales activity within the paper industry to commit potential customers needing SCC for this first plant. The Company will need to raise additional funds through loans from business partners, debt or equity financing and/or through environmental grants from authorities to build its initial plants. Initially, the Company plans to enter the market by building two or three commercial plants, some in joint ventures with financial or industry partners. Assuming commercial success with its initial plants, the Company plans to use revenue from prior plants to build twenty or more additional plants over the next ten years.

Below is a discussion of the Company's proprietary process, conventional Precipitated Calcium Carbonate ("PCC") production and the Company's current activities by site. The Company refers to the PCC produced by its technology as Synthetic Calcium Carbonate "SCC" although it competes with the conventional PCC currently in the market. Therefore where reference is to SCC this is currently referred to the Company’s product.

SCC Process

The Company’s SCC process can utilize most grades of lime, including low quality lime or industrial waste lime such as carbide lime. In the Company’s process, the carbide lime is mixed with a solution of water and a proprietary promoter in a digester, which selectively dissolves the calcium and leaves the impurities behind as insoluble solids, which are readily removed by subsequent flocculation. The clear calcium solution is then pumped into a reactor into which carbon dioxide from any industrial emission source is passed to produce precipitated calcium carbonate. After the SCC product is filtered off, the promoter solution is recycled back into the digester. The SCC can be supplied directly as slurry or dried and bagged for market.

By the use of this process, the Company reduces waste lime and carbon dioxideemissions into the environment. Carbide lime is a waste problem in many countries. Currently, waste lime is stored in large ponds with no or very limited disposal processes available. Its high pH has potential pollution impacts to soil and ground water. This is a common environmental problem in the former Eastern Block countries, including the eastern section of Germany and Slovakia and remains a problem in other industrial nations. Many of these governments have regulations for the clean up of these ponds, which gives the Company the opportunity to have sources of free or low cost waste lime. Many private companies are also willing to supply waste lime at little or no cost because they have limited storage for the waste lime. Additionally, each year over half a million tons of waste lime is created as a byproduct of on-going acetylene plants alone. Although availability of new waste carbide lime from acetylene production will reduce in the future, the Company expects to utilize the other additional lime waste sources available.

Competition

Other PCC producers must use the conventional method for producing their PCC starting from high grade limestone. High-grade limestone deposits are found in quarries that must be mined, creating dust and noise pollution and leaving scars on the land. The conventional process involves calcining high quality white limestone to produce high purity quicklime. The quicklime is slaked with water to create milk of lime. PCC is produced by sparging carbon dioxide through a batch reactor containing the milk of lime, then the PCC is filtered and sold dried or as concentrate.

Patents

The Company currently holds the United Kingdom patent for its process of transforming waste lime into high quality SCC. An international application was filed under the European Patent Cooperation Treaty in December of 1999 to expand the protection of the Company’s intellectual property on an international level. The patent examination was successfully completed in May 2001 and was granted 31^st July, 2003 in most European countries. The patent has also been granted in Eurasia (Russia and the independent states formerly part of the Soviet Union), South Africa, Hong Kong and New Zealand. The Compa ny has implemented patent registration in an extensive number of countries worldwide.

Development of the SCC Technology

The research and development of the Company’s SCC process began in 1994 with J.W. Bunger & Associates, a technical research company based in Salt Lake City, USA. This led to a research project associated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland and University of Lyon in France. The Company began a pilot project in Manchester, England, which ran between September 1998 and November 1999. During the pilot project, the Company was successful in converting waste-lime into high quality SCC. In particular the Recherche et Valorisation des Mineraux ("RVM") of Paris, France confirmed the application as a superior quality paper coating pigment. The pilot plant was moved to the site of an industrial partner at Odda in Norway, where a the SCC development progra m continued and in particular the Company produced specification SCC from a waste arising from the production at the site of dicyandiamide known as "black lime" and stack gas CO2.

Worldwide, 6 million tons of PCC are produced each year. International sales of PCC total approximately U.S. $1.3 billion per year. However, the filler pigment market in paper totals 27 million tones per annum worth approximately $5 billion.

On July 8, 2002, the Company announced that it had successfully commissioned and fine-tuned its Synthetic Calcium Carbonate "SCC" small scale production plant at Leuna, Germany. Presentations were held at Leuna in September 2002 presenting the plant and the Company’s SCC technology to a variety of interested parties, including potential project partners, financial institutions and those from the region that may be involved with the project. This small plant has a maximum capacity of 800 tonnes per annum. A laboratory facility was also installed adjacent to the plant. Confirmation and fine-tuning of the key operational parameters of this plant was necessary as a result of the large scale-up from the original pilot plant. This plant was capable of meeting all bulk sample production req uirements generally required for paper trials. The Company intends to further upgrade the capacity of this plant to run on a shift basis, to meet an increased sample demand by its selling organization for paper companies. Its on-going function will be the testing of raw materials from various other sites located around the world in order to ascertain not only their suitability to the SCC process but also the quality of SCC that can be produced and the ongoing production of samples for sales purposes and product developments with certain customers. Fees for this work will be charged.

The plant up-cycles carbide lime from the nearby Hochhalde Deposit at Schkopau using on-site CO₂. This plant is now capable of consistently producing a range of SCC products from nano-sized crystals to large monolithic crystals of up to 20 microns, all with a brightness of over 96% ISO and narrow span.

In October 2002 the Company completed trials at the Centre Technique du Papier at Grenoble in France and with a paper manufacturer. These results met the Company’s expectations and led to the design and launch in February 2003 of its first two SCC products, CalciLS and CalciSG. The former product is designed to maximize its high light scattering properties where it is targeted to partially replace and extend costly Titanium Dioxide, Aluminium TriHydrate, Precipitated Silica which fits the high value Tio2 extender market in paper and the latter for its high gloss properties directed at the niche decorative packaging paper market. In April 2003 the Company appointed GUSCO Handel, part of the G Schurfeld Group, as its European sales representative for paper to commence pre sales for the planned production f or the first commercial plant in Germany. The Company has also retained the services of W S Atkins of Stockport, UK as consulting engineers to its planned first commercial plant at Leuna, Germany where engineering work has reached the final phase and permitting applications for the new building are in progress.

Development and Marketing of SCC Product

In February 2003 the Company announced its first two products of it’s planned SCC range of syntheticmineral pigments. SCC manufactured by the use of the CalciTech process involves the selective dissolution of calcium from industrial waste and its subsequent precipitation from solution with waste CO₂ into pure calcium carbonate. The first sectors to be addressed are the paper coating market and the paint market.The high calcium selectivity at the initial dissolution step guarantees the final purity of the product at a unique level. The solution environment assures the exceptional uniformity of the final precipitate with easy control of the desired particle size.

The initial two SCC products launched are directed at the high value end of the paper pigment market. Both will be delivered in a high solid slurry form.

The first, CalciLS™, is designed to maximize light scattering. CalciLS™ is targeted to partially replace and extend costly Titanium Dioxide "TiO₂", Aluminium TriHydrate "ATH" and Precipitated Silica "PS" and substitute calcined clay in fine paper applications and Super Calendered A+ ("SCA+") on a cost effective basis. Examples of such applications are Bible paper, security paper, laminating paper, auto-adhesive labels, flexible packaging etc.

The second SCC product, CalciSG™, is designed to provide a super gloss coating for premium grade printing and writing papers including both Ultra Light Weight Coated ("ULWC") and Light Weight Coated ("LWC") and coated folding boxboard. In the latter application, CalciSG™ allows for a reduction in calendaring nips to improve bulk at no loss in gloss.

Further SCC products are currently being developed and are expected to be launched in due course to serve the water based decorative paint market. While paint overall is growing at 2% pa, water based emulsion paint is growing at 9% driven by environmental considerations and generally carries a premium price over paper industry products..

The Company has appointed GUSCO Handel as its sole sales representative in Europe responsible for its SCC products, CalciLS™ and CalciSG™ to the paper industry.

GUSCO Handel of Hamburg, a subsidiary of family owned G. Schürfeld Group, was founded in 1937 and is active as an accredited agency in the marketing and sales of forest products (pulp, paper, board and timber). Other parts of the Schürfeld Group include Cellpap Terminal Kiel GmbH, specialized in the handling, storage and distribution of forest products, Drewsen Spezialpapiere GmbH & Co.KG, a well respected manufacturer of tailor made woodfree speciality papers and Schleipen & Erkens, a paper converter focusing on silicon coating for label paper.

The broad experience of GUSCO in the paper industry gained from its’ wide customer relations developed over many years, made them spot the unique growth opportunity presented by Calcitech SCC.

By the end of February 2004 the Company had received Letters of Intent (LoI) accounting, if converted into contracts, for over 80% of the projected revenue for its first planned merchant facility in Germany. The LoIs have been coming in on the back of highly successful trial runs conducted by commercial, high-end paper producers. The customers who have signed LoIs are a cross section of major German companies in the paper industry. Each have signed confidentiality agreements and tested at their own cost the Company’s SCC sample product in their manufacturing process. The sample product has been purchased by GUSCO as part of it’s agreement with CalciTech and has the right to recover the sample cost from any sale revenue generated on conversion to contract. Furthermore, GUSCO has undertaken to


	8

collect all revenues earned on behalf of CalciTech and guarantee it’s customer payments for an additional fee.

The high interest by paper producers to evaluate SCC has been due to the uniqueness of CalciTech’s SCC and the successful collaboration with GUSCO Handel GmbH.

Business Activity : Small scale production plant

The small scale production plant, whilst not a full size commercial plant, is, nevertheless, a commercial plant. It is intended, now that it has been proven that the final product is suited to the paper industry, the plant will earn fees for samples of waste conversion and sales sample requirements for other Company projects in other regions should they proceed. High grade PCC for the pharmaceutical industry is often sold in relatively small amounts and command prices in excess of USD 700 per ton. Where demand for services is not available the Company will seek to manufacture and sell high grade product in these specialist areas.

Business Activity: Norway

After proving its theory in practice, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Norwegian Company, Odda Smelteverk AS ("Odda") leading to an agreement to form a joint venture for the production and sale of SCC in Norway. Odda created black waste lime as part of its production of dicyandiamide. In the past, Odda has failed to make use of this black waste lime. As part of its environmental regulation compliance, it must reduce its emission of black waste lime. Black waste lime from an Odda plant was transferred to England and successfully converted as part of the pilot program.

The Company owns 51% of the joint venture, CalciTech Odda A.S., through its subsidiary, CalciTech Holdings Aps. CalciTech Odda A.S. planned to build a full commercial scale plant, producing at least 40,000 tons of SCC per year to sell to the Scandinavian market, with further plant expansions thereafter, following the expected expansion of Odda’s capacity and production of black waste lime. Due to delays the Company is now planning to build the first plant of 40,000 tpa at its site in Leuna, Germany. The plant at Odda was planned to fall into a Phase II building program. However in March 2003 Odda announced the appointment of a bankruptcy administrator and it intends to sell the plant that produced the waste by-product to another producer and close down all its operations. As a result the joint venture company has ceased trading and is in the process of being liquidated.

Business Activity: Germany

The Company currently is finalizing its plans to build its first German SCC plant with production scheduled to begin in 2006. The Company signed an agreement with the German government agency, Mitteldeutsche Sanierungs - und Entsorgungsgesellschaft mbH ("MDSE"), on March 2, 2000, giving the Company exclusive access to the carbide lime stored in a portion of MDSE’s waste dump in Schkopau, Germany and an option to purchase an additional waste pond. In these transactions, the Company will have access to over 1 million tons of carbide lime. MDSE is the government agency responsible for the management of the Environmental Legacy of Eastern Germany. This program to eliminate historical waste lime is part of MDSE’s plan for landscape recovery.

The first proposed full scale German plant is to be located in Leuna near Leipzig, Germany, located six kilometers from the Schkopau waste lime dump. The plant is planned to produce 40,000 tons of SCC per year. In the Leipzig area, there are over 10 million tons of waste material. The waste lime was created as a by-product of producing acetylene gas, which was important for the former Eastern


	9

Block economies. At this site, the Company will have access to 92% pure flue CO₂ from the local oil refinery’s stack emissions after treatment by Linde AG.

The German federal state of Sachsen-Anhalt and its government agency Wirtschaftsforderungsgesellschaft für das Land Sachsen-Anhalt mbH ("WISA") informed the Company that it is eligible for a grant that will pay up to 50% of the capital costs of the production plants located at Leuna. The balance of 50% is intended to be project finance and, as advised by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, who review applications on behalf of the State, a State guarantee of up to 80% of this portion may be considered as available. The Company will produce slurry and dry products for sale in Germany and neighboring countries. Germany is currently the largest producer of coated paper, which uses PCC in its production. PCC is currently valued in Germany at over $200 per ton.

To support the activity in Germany the Company announced on the 15^th May, 2002 that it had applied and was approved for listing on the Freiverkehr, the third segment of the Frankfurt Exchange.

Business Activity: Republic of Slovakia

The Company signed a memorandum of understanding with Novaky Chemical Company ("Novaky") to form a joint venture company to produce SCC from Novaky's waste lime. Novaky currently has over 1.5 million tons of waste lime in temporary storage and continues to produce more in its ongoing acetylene production. The Company is currently studying the technical, financial and marketing feasibility of a large production facility plant to serve the Central European market.

Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, CalciTech will control the joint venture. The Company expects the project to qualify for environmental and investment incentives from The Republic of Slovakia, which is an early entrant to the European Union enlargement.

A joint venture agreement was signed on March 23, 2004.

Business Activity: Americas

In August 2002 the Company appointed Charles Kunesh, formerly research director of Specialty Minerals Inc in America, to represent the Company’s program to identify suitable waste deposits for possible SCC manufacture. This has led to a number of discussions and the Company announced in April 2003 an agreement to conduct feasibility studies for such a project with Carbide Industries LLC of Louisville, Kentucky.

Bubbletube

To address the problems associated with scaling up of reactors in the chemical industry from a small pilot plant to full-scale production, the Company worked with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne in a project sponsored by the European Commission called the "Bubbletube." Scaling up can take about a third of the time it takes to bring a product to market and often affects its quality and yield.

In November 2000, the Company received the European patent for the Bubbletube followed in January 2003 by the grant of the US patent. The Bubbletube is a new tubular segmented plug flow reactor for the synthesis of fine powders by precipitation. The technology uses two non-miscible fluids to generate micro reactors in which the precipitation reagents are thoroughly mixed. The micro-reactors yield precipitated particles that are uniform, small with a controlled morphology. Although this technology may have future uses for PCC, it is not expected to have uses in the SCC technology the

Company is currently bringing in to use. The Company’s participation with Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Laussane ("EPFL") led to its acquisition of patent rights with the agreement to license certain fields, particularly in the area of Ceramics, back to EPFL. The Company has been the financial coordinator of a development program consisting of seven participating organizations funded by a three million Euro grant from the European Union. The Company participated in the market research element of this development. This program ceased on 1^st January 2002 and certain participants are continuing to develop the technology to the next stage. The Company is not participating in this stage.

No value was assigned to the Bubbletube patent in the Company's financial statements.

Other Products, Patents and Licenses

The Company holds licenses to develop, produce and sell Trylene Gas, which is an acetylene based fuel gas. The Company also holds a Canadian patent covering certain processes producing Calcium Carbonates (No. 1179138). The Company’s Canadian patent No. 1145113 expired on April 27, 2000 and patent No. 11791138 expired on December 11, 2001. The Company also holds a license to a U.S. patent on an acetylene gas process. Currently, the Company is not exploiting these patents or licenses which were not assigned any value in the financial statements

Financing

In June of 1995, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of Kemgas Corporation Inc. ("KCI") in exchange for 5,187,505 units, each unit consisting of one common share and $1.00 in the form of a 7.5% redeemable convertible note which would be redeemed for $1.00 plus accrued interest in cash or converted into common shares at $2.40 per share and a warrant to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $2.40 during the first 12 months and $3.00 in the second 12 months. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed options to acquire 1,050,000 common shares of KCI, which granted the option holder the right to acquire one common share and $1.00 in the form of a 7.5% redeemable convertible note which would be redeemed for $1.00 plus accrued and unpaid interest in cash or conver ted into common shares at an exercise price of $2.40 per share and a warrant to acquire one common share at the exercise price of $2.40 during the first 12 months and $3.40 during the second 12 months.

On February 25, 2000, the Company’s 7.5% redeemable note for $7,202,643, ($5,562,505 principal and $1,640,138 accrued interest) was converted into common shares of the Company. The 7.5% redeemable note was converted at a rate of $1.00 per share for a total of 7,202,643 shares. KCI was liquidated in 1998 and all assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company.

On February 23, 1998, the Company completed a private placement agreement selling shares of common shares. The shares were accepted for listing on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. The Company issued 3.8 million shares at a price of CDN $1.50, subject to a four month trading restriction, in exchange for proceeds of approximately CDN $5,700,000 (approximately US $4,007,000). In addition a warrant for every two new shares was issued to purchase one common share at a purchase price equal to CDN $1.75 per share during the first year and CDN $2.00 per share during the second year after which they expired. The proceeds have been used as follows:


Finder’s Fees	$	200,000
Research and Development	$	2,457,000
Marketing and Sales	$	350,000
General Administration	$	1,000,000
Total	$	4,007,000

On February 26, 1999, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement with Epsom Investment Services NV ("Epsom"). Under the agreement, Epsom exercised its right to convert $1,400,000 into 2,978,723 common shares and a further $600,000 into 2,429,150 common shares, which were subject to a four-month trading restriction. Subsequently, Epsom entered into an additional credit facility agreement for up to $5,000,000 with a repayment date of March 3, 2001. This was since extended to March 5, 2003 for no additional consideration. During the financial year to February 28, 2001, Epsom exercised its right to convert $500,000 into 4,000,000 common shares.

In February 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for the placement of 8% convertible debentures in the sum of $1,500,000. Interest will be payable quarterly. Investors may after two years convert the convertible debentures into common shares at the greater of 75% of the average closing price for the ten trading days prior to the conversion or the market price per share at the time of closing. The investors also received warrants to purchase 20,000 common shares for every US$100,000 invested exercisable for a two-year period at 125% of the closing average offer price for the previous ten trading days.

The Company may redeem the convertible debentures in whole or part at any time up to two years or prior to a notice by an investor to convert. Investors are entitled to demand registration rights in respect of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants. If the registration statement has not been declared effective within 270 days after the date of conversion, the investors pay put the debentures to the Company at 110% of their original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If at any time after the effectiveness of the registration statement, the investors do not have the ability to freely trade the underlying common stock for 15 consecutive trading days, the investors similarly have a put at 115% of the original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. A finder’s fee of 5% and warrants to purchase 1,000 common shares per $100,000 invested was paid.

In November 2001, the Company entered into an agreement for the placement of 8% convertible debentures in the sum of $2,500,000. Interest will be payable quarterly. Investors may after two years convert the convertible debentures into common shares at the greater of 75% of the average closing price for the ten trading days prior to the conversion or the market price per share at the time of closing.

During June 2004, holders of the convertible debentures were offered the following amendment to their notes:

Section 2 Definitions: Shall be extended by the following definition.

"Conversion Date means the day, notified by the Company on at least sixty (60) days notice, on which an application by way of an equivalent to an Initial Public Offering to a reputable senior European or North American Stock Exchange or by 31^st December, 2007, whichever maybe the earlier."

Section 3 Conversion: Shall be amended as follows

Whereas, under Section 3, subsection 3.1 of the above referenced Debenture, "the holder of this debenture has the right, but not the obligation to, upon thirty (30) days written notice, on the second (2) year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, to convert the outstanding principal and any unpaid interest into shares of Common Stock." This shall now be amended whereby "the holder of this debenture has the right, but not the obligation to, on thirty (30) days notice by the Company, (i) on application for a listing by way of an Initial Public Offering on a reputable Senior European or North American Stock Exchange, or (ii) by 31^st December, 2007 to convert the outstanding principal and any accrued interest into shares of Common Stock."

Furthermore, under Section 3, subsection 3.2 Conversion price. Whereas, "Subject to adjustment pursuant to section 3.3 the Conversion Price shall be the greater of (i) seventy-five (75%) of the average closing offer price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock for the ten (10) days immediately prior to conversion and (ii) the price per share as of the Closing Date." This shall now be amended whereby, "subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.3, the Conversion price of a share of the Company’s


	13

Common Stock shall be one United States Dollar and seventy five cents (USD1.75) on the conversion date.

All other terms and conditions of the 5% convertible debenture remain the same. To date, 96% of the convertible debenture holders have accepted this proposal.

Revenue

The Company has no large scale commercial SCC plants built and the Company has received no revenue in the years ended February 28, 2003, February 28, 2002 or February 28, 2001. During the current financial year, the Company received revenues totaling $51,000 from the sale of SCC samples.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

This discussion and analysis of the operating results and financial position of the Company for the three years ended February 29, 2004, February 28, 2003 and February 28 2002 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto.

In June 2003, the Company determined that it was required to restate the accounting for development activities and convertible debt to conform the accounting to GAAP.

General

Since the signing of its first joint venture agreement with Odda, the Company has been very active in research and development to scale up the Company's pilot plant into a commercial plant. On July 8, 2002, the Company announced that it had successfully commissioned and fine-tuned its Synthetic Calcium Carbonate "SCC" small scale production plant at Leuna, Germany. The Company intends to form other joint ventures to produce SCC in other markets around the world. Agreements have been signed with German government agencies, securing raw materials for a plant in Germany. A memorandum of understanding was signed with Novaky to build a plant in Republic of Slovakia. The Company received a patent for the Bubbletube scaling up technology and is currently registering its proprieta ry SCC process patent extensively throughout the world.

A. Operating Results

February 29, 2004 compared to February 28, 2003.

The Company's financial statements are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The application of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. would affect the determination of net loss and shareholders' deficiency. See Note 15 to the attached Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted in currencies other than the United States dollar. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to manage currency fluctuation risks. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 3.5. Foreign Currency Translation.

Inflation

Historically, inflation has not affected the Company's business in the current locations where it does business and the Company does not expect that it will do in the future.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company is not currently subject to adverse movement in interest rates because the Company’s credit facilities are fixed at an interest rate of 7.50% and Convertible Debentures at an interest rate of 5%. The credit facility agreement requires repayment on August 30, 2005. The Company may redeem the Convertible Debentures before February 28, 2005. The Company does not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to manage interest rate fluctuation risks.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of February 29, 2004, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,848,000, an increase of $534,000 from the working capital deficiency of $1,314,000 on February 28, 2003. On February 28, 2003, the Company’s working capital deficiency decreased by $18,000 from a working capital deficiency of $1,332,000 on February 28, 2002.


	17

To develop and commercialize its SCC technology, management foresees its primary need for capital in the next 12 months ending February 28, 2005 will be approximately $7,500,000 for working capital and capital plant investments to carry out its strategic business plan. These requirements are expected to be met through a combination of the Epsom credit facility and new equity financing.

The Company is currently financed by a Loan Facility from Epsom of up to US $2,500,000 at an interest rate of 7.50%, of which amount the Company had drawn down $ 365,000 at February 29, 2004, with a repayment due date of August 30, 2005.

In February 2001, the Company completed a placement of 8% convertible debentures in the sum of $1,500,000 with interest payable quarterly. Investors, after two years, may convert the loan into common shares at the greater of 75% of the average closing price for the ten trading days prior to the conversion or the market price per share at the time of closing. The investors received warrants to purchase 20,000 common shares for every $100,000 invested exercisable for a two year period at 125% of the closing average offer price for the previous ten trading days. The Company may redeem the warrants in whole or part at any time up to two years or prior to notice by the investor to convert. Investors are entitled to demand registration rights in respect of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants. If the registration statement has not been declared effective within 270 days after the date of conversion, the investors may put the debentures to the Company at 110% of their original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If at any time after the effectiveness of the registration statement, the investors do not have the ability to freely trade the underlying common stock for 15 consecutive trading days, the investors similarly have a put at 115% of the original principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. A finder’s fee of 5% and warrants to purchase 1,000 common shares per $100,000 invested was paid. The issue of these convertible debentures was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.

In February 2002, the Company entered into an agreement for the placement of 4,933,091 common shares, priced at CDN$ 0.55 with a twelve month warrant to purchase an additional common share for each share taken down at CDN$ 0.66, and $ 300,000 7.5% convertible debentures with interest payable on the usual quarter days. This debenture is convertible into common shares at the investors option after two years at the greater of 75% of the average closing price for the ten trading days prior to the conversion or CDN$ 0.55. Investors in the convertible debenture shall also receive 60,000 warrants


	18

for a two year period at 125% in the first year and 140% in the second year, of the closing average offer price for the previous ten trading days.

During June 2004, holders of the convertible debentures were offered the following amendment to their notes:

Section 2 Definitions: Shall be extended by the following definition.

Section 3 Conversion: Shall be amended as follows


	19

To date, 96% of the convertible debenture holders have accepted this proposal.

Additional equity financing will be required to enable the Company to implement its business strategy of growth, which includes investment in joint ventures in the SCC industry. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise cash from additional financing efforts. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funds from future financing or unable to complete its short-term financing, the Company may not be able to fully achieve its business objectives.

Contractual obligations are disclosed as follows:

			Payments Due by Period

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

The Company expensed $ 353,000 in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, $719,000 in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2003 and $696,000 in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 on research and development. The Company will continue to fund development related to step-up expenses to achieve production on a full commercial scale.

D. Trend Information

Revenue from the principal activity commenced for trial purposes in the year ended February 29, 2004. At the present time, the Company has not generated any revenue from producing SCC on a commercial scale and has incurred substantial losses due to expenses associated with the Company's close of past Trylene and Acetylene Gas businesses and research and development expenses.


	21

On July 8, 2002, the Company announced that it had successfully commissioned and fine-tuned its SCC small scale production plant at Leuna, Germany. This small plant has a maximum capacity of 800 tonnes per annum. Confirmation and fine-tuning of the key operational parameters of this plant was a key step in demonstrating that the Company has the technical ability to scale up the technology from the pilot plant to a full scale commercial plant.

E. Critical accounting policies

The significant accounting policies that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results include the following:

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information for the foreseeable future, in particular for the twelve months from the approval of the financial statements.

Assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for development costs which are deferred as intangible assets when the Company can demonstrate all of the following:

·	the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
·	its intention and ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
·	the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself;
·	the availability of adequate technical resources to complete the development;
·	the availability of adequate financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, subject to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, as described in Note 3.1;
·	its ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably.

F. U.S. GAAP Reconciliation

The Company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which differ in several respects from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net income and shareholders’ equity are different under U.S. GAAP and under IFRS.

Shareholders' deficiency in accordance with IFRS, restated	$	(2,571	)	$	(2,574	)
Convertible debentures		(4,501	)		(4,182	)
Shareholders' deficiency in accordance with US GAAP	$	(7,072	)	$	(6,756	)

Under US GAAP, the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the credit facility should be recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.

Under US GAAP, convertible debentures should not be included within shareholders' deficiency. Accordingly, finders fee relating to the convertible debentures would be charged to income under US GAAP.

The Company's share option plan is treated as a compensatory plan under US GAAP. For the purpose of this reconciliation, the Company has adopted Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its share options which were granted to employees and non-employee directors elected by shareholders.


	23

Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized when exercise prices are below the fair market value of the underlying shares. The repricing of options on December 8, 1999 required the Company to follow variable plan accounting, under which compensation cost is remeasured each period. Due to the rise in market value, a compensation expense of $214 was recorded for the first time in the financial year ended February 28, 2002. This was partly reversed in the financial year ended February 28, 2003, due to the fall in market value and reduction in the number of outstanding options (see Note 8.3).

For a further discussion of the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, especially as they relate to disclosures, see Note 15 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

New accounting pronouncementsunder IFRS and US GAAP

In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". FAS 148 amends FAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, FAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in the financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of FAS 148 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has elected to continue accounting for employee stock based compensation in accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations and th erefore FAS 148 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. It also elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. Disclosures required under FIN 45 are already included in these financial statements, however, the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have any effect on net loss and shareholders' deficiency under US GAAP at February 29, 2004.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). Under this FIN entities are separated into two populations: (1) these for which voting interests are used to determine consolidation (this is the most common situation) and (2) these for which variable interests are used to determine consolidation. The FIN explains how to identify Variable Interest Entities (VIE) and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, non controlling interests, and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. The FIN is effective as follows: for variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 the FIN shall apply immediately, for variable interests in variable interest entities created before that date, the FIN shall apply for public entities - as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have any effect on net loss and shareholders' deficiency under US GAAP at February 29, 2004.

In May 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. FAS 150 is effective for


	24

financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of adopting FAS 150 in its consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On September 11, 2000, the Company amended its Articles to change its name to CalciTech Ltd.

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 120,000,000 common shares, par value $0.001. All issued and outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of record of common shares is entitled to one vote for each common share so held on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting for directors. The holders of common shares will be entitled to dividends on a pro-rata basis, if and when declared by the Board of Directors. There are no preferences, conversion rights, preemptive rights, subscription rights, or restrictions on transfers attached to the common shares. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the shareholders are entitled to participate in the di stribution of assets of the Company available after satisfaction of the claims of creditors.

Powers and Duties of Directors

The Directors shall manage or supervise the management of the affairs and business of the Company and shall have authority to exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the Company Act, Articles or Bye-laws, required to be exercised by the shareholders in a general meeting or prohibited by law.

Directors serve for one year, until the next annual meeting of shareholders. In general, a Director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with the Company whereby a duty or interest might be created to conflict with his duty or interest as a director, shall declare the nature and extent of his interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict or potential conflict with his duty and interest as a director. Such a Director shall not vote in respect of any such contract or transaction with the Company if the Chairman disqualifies him. If he votes, his vote shall not be counted, but he shall be counted in the quorum present at the meeting at which such a vote is taken. The shareholders at the general meeting shall deter mine the remuneration of the Directors. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Directors shall be paid all expenses incurred in attending meetings or conducting business on behalf of the Company.

The Directors may from time to time on behalf of the Company; (a) borrow money in such manner and amount from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit; (b) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations; or (c) mortgage, charge or give other security on the whole or any part of the property and assets of the Company.

The Directors of the Company are not required to be residents of Bermuda. There is no age limitation or minimum share ownership for the Company’s Directors.


	32

Shareholders

An Annual General Meeting of Shareholders shall be held once in every year at such time and place as may be determined by the Directors. Notice of the meeting must be given not less than twenty-one nor more than fifty days. A quorum at an Annual General Meeting and Special Meeting shall be two shareholders. There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Bermuda or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares.

In accordance with Bye-laws, Directors shall be elected by an "ordinary resolution" which means (a) a resolution passed by the shareholders of the Company in a General Meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy, or (b) a resolution that has been submitted to the shareholders of the Company who would have been entitled to vote on it in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company and that has been consented to in writing by all shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on it.

The Bermuda law and Company’s Articles and Bye-laws contain no provisions that would prevent or delay a change in control of the Company.

C. Material Contracts

Addendum to the Credit Facility Agreement between Epsom Investment Services N.V. and CalciTech Ltd. dated February 27, 1998. This is a convertible note for up to $5 million at an annual interest rate of 7.75%. The repayment date of August 30, 2004 was re-negotiated during February 2004 whereby the limit of the facility remained the same at $2,500,000 at an annual interest rate of 7.5%. Repayment of the facility was extended to August 30, 2005. The note can be converted in part or in whole into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% of the trading price per common share on the date the note was made or additional advances made. This note is secured by the assets of the Company. No additi onal consideration was paid for the extension.

D. Exchange Controls

Control over foreign currency has existed in Bermuda since 1940 and is now governed by the Exchange Control Act of 1972 (the "Exchange Control Act") and regulations promulgated thereunder and is administered by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (Foreign Exchange Control). The Exchange Control Act regulates foreign currency transactions between a resident of Bermuda and a non-resident of Bermuda. However, exempted companies, like the Company, are designated as "non-resident" for purposes of the Exchange Control Act, and as such, are entitled to maintain foreign currency bank accounts and to freely convert the balances in such accounts into currencies of other countries. Because exempted companies are designated as "non-resident" under the Exchange Control Act, consent from Foreign Exchange Co ntrol is required prior to incorporation. Prior consent of Foreign Exchange Control is also required to issue or transfer any share, debenture or other security of an exempted Company. General permission may be given to issue or transfer shares or other securities, in connection with a public issue, which are to be freely transferable. The Company received Bermuda’s permission to transfer its shares, which may be traded on the TSX and the OTC Bulletin Board. Additionally, on May


	33

15, 2002, the Company’s shares were approved to trade on the Third Segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany, under the symbol XCH.

E. Taxation.

There are no income, profits, capital gains, sale of goods, death or inheritance taxes in Bermuda. Exempted companies, such as the Company, pay annual fees to the Bermuda government, which are determined by the amount of its share capital. Although the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (on behalf of Bermuda) signed a mutual assistance and insurance tax agreement on July 11, 1986, the agreement does not provide for the withholding of taxes on the distribution of dividends to United States taxpayers. While the convention provides for the sharing of information, it primarily deals with the taxation of insurance premiums paid by United States residents to insurance companies domiciled in Bermuda.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations material to a holder of Common Shares who is a United States citizen or resident or a United States domestic corporation who owns the Common Shares as a capital asset ("United States Investor"). The summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible income tax consequences applicable to United States Investors and does not address the tax consequences of United States Investors subject to special provisions of federal income tax law such as tax exempt organizations, trusts and significant shareholders. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and with respect to the effects of state, local or foreign tax laws to whic h they may be subject.

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations, court decisions and current administrative rulings and pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that are currently applicable, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that future changes in applicable law or administrative and judicial interpretations thereof will not adversely affect the tax consequences discussed herein. Potential investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the Common Shares in light of their particular circumstances.

Basis. A United States Investor will have a basis in the Common Shares equal to his or her purchase price for United States federal tax purposes.

Dividends. Cash dividends paid out of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits to a holder of Common Shares who is a United States Investor will be taxed as ordinary income for United States federal income tax purposes. Cash distributions in excess of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company will first be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as a nontaxable return on capital to the extent of the United States Investor’s basis in the Common Shares and then as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.

Such dividends generally will also be subject to foreign withholding tax. The deduction for dividends received which is usually available to corporate shareholders is generally not available for dividends paid from a foreign corporation such as the Company. Pursuant to Sections 164 and 901 of the Code, a United States Investor may generally elect, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to claim either a deduction from gross income for foreign withholding taxes or a credit against its United States federal


	34

income taxes with respect to such foreign taxes. The choice of taking a deduction or claiming a credit is up to the taxpayer.

In general, a United States Investor, other than a shareholder owning 10% or more of the voting power of the Company, will be entitled to claim a foreign tax credit only for taxes, if any, imposed on dividends paid to such United States Investor (such as withholding taxes) and not for taxes, if any, imposed on the Company or on any entity in which the Company has made an investment. The amount of the foreign tax credit that may be claimed is limited to that proportion of the tax against which the credit is taken that the holder’s taxable income from non-United States sources bears to the holder’s entire taxable income for that taxable year. The foreign tax credit limitation is applied separately to different categories of income. Generally, for purposes of applying such foreign tax credit limitations, dividends are included in the passive income category.

Dispositions of Common Shares. Subject to the discussion below of the consequences of the Company being treated as a Passive Foreign Investment Company or a Foreign Investment Company, gain or loss realized by a United States Investor (other than a 10-percent shareholder of the Company) on the sale or other disposition of Common Shares will be subject to United States federal income tax as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such United States Investor’s basis in the Common Shares and the amount realized on the disposition. In general, such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the United States Investor has held the Common Shares for more than one yea r at the time of the sale or exchange. In general, gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Common Shares by a United States Investor will be treated as U.S. source income.

Special United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company has not been a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes for prior taxable years and management believes that it will not be treated as a PFIC for the current and future taxable years, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and thus subject to change. The Company will be a PFIC with respect to a United States Investor if, for any taxable year in which such United States Investor held the Company's shares, either (i) at least 75% of the gross income of the Company for the taxable year is pa ssive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the Company's assets are attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. In each case, the Company must take into account a pro rata share of the income and the assets of any company in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the stock by value (the "look-through" rules). Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities, and gains from assets that produce passive income. Because the Company is not publicly traded as defined under the statute and regulations governing PFICs, and is not a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC"), the Company would apply the 50% asset test based on fair market values unless the Company elects to use the adjusted tax bases of its assets.

If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC, then, unless a United States Investor who owns shares in the Company elects (a section 1295 election) to have the Company treated as a "qualified electing fund" (a "QEF") (described below), the following rules apply:

1. Distributions made by the Company during a taxable year to a United States Investor who owns shares in the Company that are an "excess distribution" (defined generally as the excess of the amount received with respect to the shares in any taxable year over 125% of the average received in the shorter of either the three previous years or such United States Investor's holding period before the taxable year) must be allocated ratably to each day of such shareholder's holding period. The amount allocated to the current taxable year and to years when the corporation was not a PFIC must be included


	35

as ordinary income in the shareholder's gross income for the year of distribution. The remainder is not included in gross income but the shareholder must pay a deferred tax on that portion. The deferred tax amount, in general, is the amount of tax that would have been owed if the allocated amount had been included in income in the earlier year, plus interest. The interest charge is at the rate applicable to deficiencies in income taxes.

2. The entire amount of any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the shares will be treated as an excess distribution made in the year of sale or other disposition and as a consequence will be treated as ordinary income and, to the extent allocated to years prior to the year of sale or disposition, will be subject to the interest charge described above.

A shareholder that makes a section 1295 election will be currently taxable on his or her pro rata share of the Company' s ordinary earnings and net capital gain (at ordinary income and capital gains rates, respectively) for each taxable year of the Company, regardless of whether or not distributions were received. The shareholder's basis in his or her shares will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in the shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to the shareholder.

A shareholder may make a section 1295 election with respect to a PFIC for any taxable year of the shareholder (shareholder's election year). A section 1295 election is effective for the shareholder's election year and all subsequent taxable years of the shareholder. Procedures exist for both retroactive elections and protective statements. Once a section 1295 election is made it remains in effect, although not applicable, during those years that the Company is not a PFIC. Once a shareholder makes a section 1295 election, the shareholder may revoke the election only with the consent of the Commissioner.

Special rules apply with respect to the calculation of the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC or inclusions under a QEF.

Controlled Foreign Corporations. Sections 951 through 964 and Section 1248 of the Code relate to controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). A foreign corporation that qualifies as a CFC will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder during the portion of the shareholder's holding period after December 31, 1997, during which the shareholder is a 10% United States shareholder and the corporation is a CFC. The PFIC provisions continue to apply in the case of PFIC that is also a CFC with respect to shareholders that are less than 10% United States shareholders.

The 10% United States shareholders of a CFC are subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of certain income of the CFC and their pro rata shares of the CFC's earnings invested in certain U.S. property. The effect is that the CFC provisions may impute some portion of such a corporation's undistributed income to certain shareholders on a current basis and convert into dividend income some portion of gains on dispositions of stock which would otherwise qualify for capital gains treatment.

The Company does not believe that it will be a CFC. Even if the Company were classified as a CFC in a future year, however, the CFC rules referred to above would apply only with respect to 10% shareholders.

Personal Holding Company/Foreign Personal Holding Company/Foreign Investment Company. A corporation will be classified as a personal holding company (a "PHC") if at any time during the last half of a tax year (i) five or fewer individuals (without regard to their citizenship or residence) directly or indirectly or by attribution own more than 50% in value of the corporation's stock and (ii) at least 60% of its ordinary gross income, as specially adjusted, consists of personal holding company income (defined generally to include dividends, interest, royalties, rents and certain other types of passive income). A


	36

PHC is subject to a United States federal income tax of 39.6% on its undistributed personal holding company income (generally limited, in the case of a foreign corporation, to United States source income).

A corporation will be classified as a foreign personal holding company (an "FPHC") and not a PHC if at any time during a tax year (i) five or fewer individual United States citizens or residents directly or indirectly or by attribution own more than 50% of the total combined voting power or value of the corporation's stock and (ii) at least 60% of its gross income consists of foreign personal holding company income (defined generally to include dividends, interest, royalties, rents and certain other types of passive income). Each United States shareholder in a FPHC is required to include in gross income, as a dividend, an allocable share of the FPHC's undistributed foreign personal holding company income (generally the taxable income of the FPHC, as specially adjusted).

A corporation will be classified as a foreign investment company (an "FIC") if for any taxable year it (i) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a management company or share investment trust or is engaged primarily in the business of investing or trading in securities or commodities (or any interest therein) and (ii) 50% or more of the value or the total combined voting power of all the corporation's stock is owned directly or indirectly (including stock owned through the application of attribution rules) by United States persons. In general, unless an FIC elects to distribute 90% or more of its taxable income (determined under United States tax principles as specially adjusted) to its shareholders, gain on the sale or exchange of FIC stock is treated as ordinary income (rather than capital gain) to the extent of such shareholder's ratable share of the corporation's earnings and profits for the period during which such stock was held.

The Company's management believes that it is not and will not be a PHC, FPHC or FIC. However, no assurance can be given as to the Company's future status.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Dividends are generally subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code. Dividends may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% unless the holder provides a taxpayer identification number on a properly completed Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption.

The amount of any backup withholding will not constitute additional tax and will be allowed as a credit against the United States Investor's federal income tax liability.

Filing of Information Returns. Under a number of circumstances, a United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and United States Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.
