NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS
Only registered shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “Non-Registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either:
(a)
in the name of an Intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans, or
(b)
in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS"), of which the Intermediary is a participant.
In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 (Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of Reporting Companies) published by the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.
Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:
(a)
be sent a voting instruction formwhich has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which describes the limits to voting to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder, but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when depositing the Proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit the Proxy should otherwise properly complete the Form of Proxy and deposit it withComputershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, fax number: (416) 263-9524)or
(b)
be given a Proxy Authorization Form,which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder andreturned to the Intermediary or its services company,will constitute voting instructions, which the Intermediary must follow. The Proxy Authorization Form will be either a one-page pre-printed form or a regular Form of Proxy, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information, each with instructions in order for this form to constitute a valid Proxy Authorization Form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label and affix it to the form, properly complete and sign the form, and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions. A Non-Registered Shareholder cannot use a proxy authorization form to vote shares directly at the Meeting.
In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own.
- 3 -
The Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of shares. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and the Company or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding shares on your behalf. By choosing to send the Meeting Materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Meeting Materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.
Non-Registered Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for purposes of voting their shares or by way of depositing a form of proxy. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, please see the voting instructions you received or contact your intermediary well in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can do so.
Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the voting instructions they receive, including those on how and when voting instructions are to be provided, in order to have their shares voted at the Meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders,
Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. as at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). 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.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Note 1
Nature of Operations
Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. is a public company, which was incorporated on March 8, 1986 under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. Its common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange and on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company's primary business is investments in marketable securities, land and investments in private companies in the development stage.
Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Differences with respect to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are described in Note 9. 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 consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarised below:
a)
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
b)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less when purchased.
c)
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost and market value.
d)
Investment
Investments in which the Company does not exert significant influence are recorded at cost and are reviewed annually for impairment. To the extent that the cost is determined to exceed estimated recoverable value, the investment is written down.

Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
e)
Land Held for Resale
Land held for resale is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable 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 realizable value they will be written down accordingly.
f)
Equipment and Amortization
Equipment is 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
50% declining balance
g)
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the earnings (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 anti-dilutive.
h)
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.
i)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Marketable securities exceed their stated cost. 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 including the long-term investments.

Note 2
Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
j)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are more likely-than-not to be realized.
k)
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for compensation expense based on the fair value of rights granted under its stock-based compensation plan. Under this method, compensation costs attributable to share options granted to employees, directors or officers is measured at fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of stock options, consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.
l)
Long-lived Assets Impairment
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future projected cash flows to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
m)
Revenue Recognition
The Company records gains on the sale of land on the completion date of the sale, which is the date of the transfer of the land. The Company records gains on the sale of marketable securities on the date the security is sold. Investment income is recorded in the year earned.

Differences between Canadian and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in Canada which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America.
The material differences between Canadian and US GAAP, which affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position, are summarized as follows:
a)
Accounting for Capitalized Holding Costs
Under US GAAP, the carrying costs of holding properties including property taxes would not be eligible for capitalization to the properties held for resale and would be expensed as incurred.
b)
Stock-based Compensation
The Company grants stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Pursuant to APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123, the compensation charge associated with non-employees’ options has been recorded in reconciling items for the years ended March 31, 2003 and earlier. Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the Company has adopted the policy to expense all stock option benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and to apply this change under the modified prospective method with no retroactive restatement of the prior year in accordance with the transitional provisions of SFAS No. 148. The Company has adjusted the opening Contributed Surplus (Additional paid-in capital) to reflect the cumulative expense of employee stock options previously reported on a pro forma basis.

1.12Outlook
Identifying profitable business ventures and investments will be the main task for the Company in this coming year in order achieve profitable operations. The Company’s mandate is to improve operations in order to increase shareholders’ value.
1.13Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Financial Controller are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Financial Controller have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and assessed the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at March 31, 2007, pursuant to the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 52-109.
Management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, a weakness existed in the design of internal control over financial reporting caused by a lack of adequate segregation of duties between the recording of cash receipts and disbursements and the authorization and reconciliation of bank accounts. This weakness has the potential to result in material misstatements in the company’s financial statements.
Management has concluded and the board has agreed that, the Company does not have sufficient size and scale to warrant the hiring of additional staff to correct this weakness at this time. To help mitigate the impact of this weakness and to ensure quality financial reporting, management will perform weekly review and reconciliation of financial assets in order to compensate for the above-mentioned weakness.
Despite the above-mentioned weakness, the CEO and Financial Controller concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that the design of internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Canadian GAAP. However, management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. Management believes that any system of internal controls, no matter how well designed or operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
