NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
Note 1
Nature of Operations
Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. formerly Venture Pacific Development Corporation is a public company incorporated on March 8, 1986 under the Company Act of British Columbia. Its common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company's primary business is investment with a view to invest and divest itself of assets as determined by the general economic environment and the economic health of the relevant sector.
Subsequent to the sale and disposal of the convenience store, the vehicle leasing business, and the redemption of its investment in the direct marketing company and land sales during fiscal 2003 and 2004, the Company currently holds investment in a 133-acre of land in Pemberton, B.C. Canada and various short-term marketable securities. Management is also actively identifying other profitable business ventures and investment opportunities.
Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial data is based on accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the annual audited financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates that have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The interim consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarised below:
a)
Principle of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: 345384 BC Ltd, 345385 BC Ltd, Venture Pacific Development Capital Ltd., Venture Pacific Vehicle LeaseCorp Inc., VenPac Nevada I, Inc. and Venture Pacific Development USA Ltd.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies- (cont’d)
b)
Short-Term Investment
Short-term investment consists of marketable securities and is recorded at cost. When the market value of the marketable securities has declined below the carrying value, they will be written-down to reflect the market value.
c)
Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of the land includes certain direct and indirect costs including property taxes. To the extent that costs are determined to exceed net realisable value they will be written down accordingly.
d)
Capital Assets and Amortization
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization has been calculated using the following annual rates and methods:
Computer equipment
30% declining balance
Office furniture
20% declining balance
Software
100% declining balance
e)
Long Term Investment
Long-term investment is carried at cost. To the extent that cost exceeds net recoverable value it will be written down accordingly.
f)
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share are computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. Fully diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anit-dilutive due the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.
Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies- (cont’d)
g)
Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the consolidated balance sheet. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and other items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Resulting exchange gains or losses are included in income when incurred.
h)
Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, short term investment, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due to related parties and affiliated companies approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
i)
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the amended CICA Handbook Section 3870 “ Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.” Under this method, the Company must account for compensation expense based on the fair value of rights granted under its stock-based compensation plan. Compensation costs attributable to share options granted to employees, consultants, directors and officers is measured at fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected exercise time with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. Upon exercise of stock options, consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, are recorded as an increase to share capital.

1.2

Nature of Business and Overall Performance
Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. (“the Company”) is a Vancouver based investment company involved in investment in land/real estate, marketable securities and various business ventures. The Company invests and divests itself of assets as determined by the general economic environment and health of the relevant sectors and the specific financial viability of the entity. Currently the Company holds investments in a 133-acre parcel of land located in Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada and various short-term marketable securities.
During the quarter, the Company sold $21,600 marketable securities and earned $21,922 from the sale. The Company also invested an additional $110,852 in marketable securities in the quarter. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $264,481 in marketable securities at cost. Management has been actively searching for other potential and profitable business ventures in order to create growth and value for the Company. From an operating standpoint the Company continues to incur loss due to insufficient revenue to cover operating costs. In this quarter the Company reported a net loss of $76,730 or $0.01 loss per share. To-date, the Company has accumulated deficit of $6,972,311 due to write-down and loss on sale of investments and business ventures, the expensing of stock options and operating loss since inception.
The Company had working capital of $811,907 and cash balance of $452,276 on December 31, 2004. Management is confident that it has sufficient working capital to move the Company forward and become profitable in the future.
1.3Results of Operations For the Third Quarter Ended December 31, 2004
Revenue
The Company reported a gain on sale of marketable securities of $21,922 and $486 from interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared to $53 interest income earned from the comparable quarter last year. In prior year’s quarter, the Company’s main source of revenue was generated from interest and royalty income from a direct marketing company. However, due to lower than expected sale, the direct marketing company deferred interest and royalty payment to Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. In view of the uncertainty of receiving interest and royalty income from the marketing company, Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd did not record any revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Consequently, investment income was much lower comparatively. In May 2004, the Company
redeemed its investment in the direct marketing company and, therefore will not be earning any interest and royalty moving forward. Interest and royalty owed to Pacific Harbour Capital prior to redemption were also waived or forgiven.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased in the third quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $118,351 in prior year’s quarter to $99,138 in the current quarter, a decrease of $19,213 or 16 %. The decrease was mainly attributable to reduction in interest expense and promotion expense. The Company repaid its loans payable in February 2004, therefore, interest expense was reduced to $nil. Offsetting the above-mentioned decrease, the Company incurred $26,040 in foreign exchange loss due to holding majority of cash in US currency.
Cumulatively for the nine months period ended December 31, 2004, general and administrative expenses increased 8% from the comparable nine months period last year. The increase was mainly attributable to increase in legal expense in connection with lawsuits with former management and a former manager of the Company’s subsidiary as well as increase in foreign exchange loss.
Net Loss
The Company reported a net loss of $76,730 or $0.01 loss per share for the third quarter ended December 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $123,475 or $0.02 loss per share for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date, net loss was $402,505 or $0.05 loss per share compared to a net loss of $311,390 or $0.04 loss per share in the comparable period last year.
1.4
Transactions with Related Parties
For the nine months period ended December 31, 2004, the Company paid $58,500 management fees to a company controlled by a director and officer of the Company and $2,546 to a law firm whose partner is a director of the Company. The Company also received $41,000 administration fee recovery from companies that has a director and officer in common for share office facilities and staffs.
All the above charges are on terms and conditions similar to non-related parties.

General Discussion of Quarterly Results
Income and loss
Significant changes in key data from net income or loss during the quarters can be attributed to the discontinued operations of the vehicle leasing business as well as gain and loss resulted from the sale of various parcels of land held for resale. The gain on sale of the Pemberton land and the sale of the vehicle leasing operations resulted in an overall net income of $209,856 in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2003. The sale of the Nevada land resulted in an overall net loss of $1,339,444 in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2004.
The Company also incurred $80,000 in severance payment and $78,520 in legal expense in the second quarter ended September 30, 2004 resulting in higher net loss for the quarter totalled $272,286.
1.6Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had negative cash outflow of $104,481 from its operating activities in this quarter as compared to negative cash outflow of $133,181 in the same quarter last year, a reduction of $28,700. The reduction was mainly due to lower operating expenses incurred in the current quarter.
From financing activities, the Company advanced $6,070 to an affiliated company in third quarter ended December 31, 2004.
The Company invested $110,852 in marketable securities and received net proceeds of $43,522 from the sale of marketable securities. The Company also received $5,000 from note receivable resulting in net cash outflow of $62,330 from investing activities.
Overall, the Company had net cash outflow of $172,881 in the third quarter ended December 31, 2004.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had working capital of 811,907 compared to working capital of $1,201.490 on March 31, 2004. The decrease in working capital was due to operating loss incurred in the nine months period ended December 31, 2004.
1.7 Contingent liabilities and Lawsuits
The Company is currently involved with several court cases, which it plans to defend vigorously.
The first court case involves a former law firm engaged by the previous management. The firm is claiming legal fees owing of approximately $109,000. The Company has counter sued the law firm claiming it was in breach of the court order prohibiting expenses of this nature. This legal fee has been accrued in the financial statements in full.
The second court case involves another law firm engaged by the previous management. The firm claims outstanding legal fees of approximately $32,000. The Company is in the process of contesting the amount through the court and deems it unreasonable. This legal fee has been accrued in the financial statement in full.
The third case involves a former management of the Company and a legal firm that was previously engaged by them. Former management of the Company has purchased certain debts from this previously used law firm and is now asserting a claim of $110,067. The Company is in the process of contesting this amount through the court as it deems it unreasonable. $54,107 of this claim has been accrued in the financial statements.
1.8Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangement such as guarantee contracts, contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity, derivative instruments obligations and any obligations that trigger financing, liquidity, market or credit risk to the Company.
1.9Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On December 31, 2004, the Company had no long-term debt, capital lease obligations, purchase obligations and contractual obligations and commitments. The Company, however, has an operating lease commitment for office space until March 31, 2007. The annual lease commitment is $62,495 per annum.
1.10Financial instruments and Risk Factors
As of December 31, 2004 the Company was not exposed to any financial instruments risks since their fair value approximates their carrying values. The Company, however, is subject to risks of venturing into
business ventures and investments that are not profitable and may result in additional debt costs and contingent liabilities. Due to risk of additional foreign exchange loss, the Company converted its cash back from US currency to Canadian currency in December 2004.
1.11Outlook
The Company is actively identifying profitable business ventures and investments in order to improve the Company’s bottom-line and achieve profitable operations.
