When used in this Annual Report, the words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those identified under the heading “Risk Factors”.
Enforcement of Legal Remedies
Certain officers, directors and persons involved with the Company as professional advisors are resident in Canada. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service within the United States upon such persons or to realize on any judgment by any court of the United States which is predicated on civil liabilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act'). The Company's Canadian counsel has advised that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or through enforcement of United States judgments, of liabilities predicated solely upon violations of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

D.RISK FACTORS
Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below as well as all other information contained in this Annual Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flow and operating results could be materially harmed.
Business Opportunities
The Company is in the business of providing adminstrative services and rent to public companies and is actively searching for other business opportunities but uncertain when and if an opportunity will arise.
History of losses and expected losses in the future:
The Company reported a loss of $1,650,834 for the year ended March 31, 2004; a loss of $457,646 for the year ended March 31, 2005; a loss of $99,365 for the year ended March 31, 2006; a net gain of $334,647 for year ended March 31, 2007 and a net loss of $423,853 for the year ended March 31, 2008. Net gains for 2007 were attributable to the disposal of marketable securities and the realized gain on the sale of the Company’s land investment. The Company cannot predict when it may be able to sustain or increase its profitability.
Availability of capital:
The Company may not have sufficient capital to fund its current operations or any future business and additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any of these outcomes could adversely impact the Company's ability to respond to competitive pressures or prevent it from conducting all or a portion of its planned operations. If the Company issues additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of existing shareholders of the Company will be reduced.

Risk Factors Related to Ownership and Trading Market
Stock markets experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. Since the Company's initial public offering, the market value of its common shares has fluctuated significantly. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies, including the Company. The broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's common shares. This may adversely affect the ability of the Company to use its common shares as consideration in acquisition transactions.
The risks associated with penny stock classification could affect the marketability of the common stock of the Company and shareholders could find it difficult to sell their stock.
The Company's stock is subject to "penny stock" rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act rule 3a51-1. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate brokr-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The Company's common shares are subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchase and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer the current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules: the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Company's common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to see their shares.
Future sales of common shares:
If the Company's shareholders sell substantial amounts of common shares in the public market, the market price of the common shares could fall. The perception among investors that these sales will occur could also produce this effect.

The consolidated financial statements are denominated in Canadian dollars and have not been translated into United States dollars. The following discussion centers around the operations for the current year ended March 31, 2008 (fiscal 2008) with comparison to the prior year ended March 31, 2007 (fiscal 2007).

For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company had negative cash outflow of $278,216 from operating activities compared to $269,476 negative cash outflow from 2006 operating activities. From an operating standpoint, the Company continues to rely on proceeds from the sale of investments or property to remedy operating deficiency. The Company has no plans for any material capital expenditure in the coming year.
The Company did not engage in any financing activities in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006.

During fiscal 2007, the Company invested $82,932 in marketable securities and investments and received proceeds of $233,856 from the sale of marketable securites. In addition, the Company received $719,226 from the sale of land. Overall net proceeds from investing activities were $857,156.
The Company's overall decrease in cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2008 was $308,775. Depending on future growth and investment activities, the Company may obtain equity to support acquisition or investment activities.
During fiscal 2007, the Company generated positive net cash inflow of $578,940 for the year. Depending on future growth and investment activities,
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP the net loss for the year ended March 31, 2008 would be $534,607 compared to a net gain for the year ended March 31, 2007 of $221,982. The differences between Canadian and US GAAP result from additional stock-based compensation expense of $110,754 recorded under US GAAP.
Prepared in accordance with US GAAP the net income for the year ended March 31, 2007 would be $221,982 compared to a net loss of $207,073 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The differences between Canadian and US GAAP result mainly from the treatment of certain costs which were deferred under Canadian GAAP but are expensed under US GAAP and an unrealized loss on held-for-trading securities under US GAAP.
Total assets in accordance with Canadian GAAP were $884,505 at March 31, 2008 compared to $1,156,569 at March 31, 2007. Total assets in accordance with US GAAP would be $884,505 at March 31, 2008 compared to $1,167,952 at March 31, 2007. The reason for the difference under Canadian and US GAAP is that in 2007, the marketable securities were carried at the lower of cost or market for Canadian GAAP and carried at fair value under US GAAP.
Total assets in accordance with Canadian GAAP were $1,156,569 at March 31, 2007 compared to $934,996 at March 31, 2006. Net assets in accordance with US GAAP would be $1,167,952 at March 31, 2007 and $1,059,044 at March 31, 2006. Again the reason for these differences under Canadian and US GAAP is the timing of expensing certain costs.
Potential changes in other current assets (Accounts receivable, Inventory, and Prepaid expense and deposits) or current liabilities (Accounts payable, Security deposits, Deferred revenue) are not known at this time or are not considered by management to have a significant impact on the liquidity of the Company.

(b)

There is no provision in the Company’s constating documents that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquirisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiairies).
Securities legislation in British Columbia requires that shareholder ownership must be disclosed once a person owns beneficially or have control or direction over, greater than 10% of the issued shares of the Company.
C.
MATERIAL CONTRACTS
The Company has not entered into any contracts other than the ordinary course of business during the past two years.
D.
EXCHANGE CONTROLS
There are no laws or governmental decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital or that affect the payment of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities other than withholding tax requirements. For a discussion of these withholding requirements see "Item E. Taxation" below.
There are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, or in the charter documents of the Company on the rights of a non-resident to hold or vote the Company's Common Shares other than as provided by the Investment Canada Act (the "Act!) enacted on June 20, 1985 and as further amended, by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act (Canada) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement Implementation Act, which requires the prior notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a "non-Canadian" of "control" of a "Canadian business," all as defined in the Act. The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form that is filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementat ion of the investment. Once the notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor. The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued.
24
If an investment is reviewable, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received. An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place. Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received. For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received. Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must noticy the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be o net benefit to Canada. If with such 45-day period t he Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review unless the applicant agrees to a longer period. Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that hie is satsified or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to of net benefit to Canada. The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.
If the Minister is not satisfied, the Non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest itself of control of the business that is the subject of the investement. The only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canada’s cultural heritage of national identity deal with publication, film and music industries. Because the Company’s total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold and because the Company’s business activities would likely be deemed not related to Canada’s cultural heritage or nation identiy, acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.
E.
TAXATION
Canadian Federal Income Taxation
The following discussion is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to purchasers of the Company's Common Shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Canadian Act") and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (the “Treaty”), deal at arm's length with the Company, hold Common Shares as capital property, are not residents of Canada at any time when holding Common Shares and do not use or hold and are not deemed to use or hold Common Shares in or in the course of carrying on business in Canada.
Dividends
Under the Act and the Treaty, a U.S. shareholder of common shares will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend, subject to the provisions of any applicable income tax convention. Pursuant to the Treaty, the rate of withholding tax generally will be reduced to 15% in respect of dividends paid to a shareholder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty and further reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of the shares is a corporation owning at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company
Capital Gains
A non-resident shareholder of the Company is not subect to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) ( the "ITA") in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of the public company (listed on a prescribed stock exchange which includes the TSX-V) unless the share represnts "taxable Canadian property" to the holder. The Company is a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of the Company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder, if, at any time during the period of 60 months immediately preceding the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm's length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm's length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of shares of the Company.
25
The foregoing discussion of Canadian taxation is of a general and summary nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of receiving dividends from the Company or disposing of their Common Shares.
United States Federal Taxation
For federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States or a domestic corporation ("U.S. Taxpayee') will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the Company's Common Stock equal to the difference between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted cost basis in the Common Stock. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if the Company's Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Taxpayer.
For federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to include in gross income dividends received on the Company's Common Stock. A U.S. Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on the Common Stock will be entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a deduction) against federal income tax liability. A domestic Company that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company should consult its tax advisor as to applicability of the dividends received deduction or deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect to dividends paid on the Company's Common Stock.
For any taxable year of the Company, if at least 75% of the Company's gross income is "Passive income" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or if at least 50% of the Company's assets, by average fair market value, are assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, the Company will be a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC"). There can be no assurance that the Company will not be determined to be a PFIC in its current or future taxable years.
If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Taxpayer owns any Common Stock, the U.S. Taxpayer will be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules, set forth in Sections 1291 to 1297 of the Code, with respect to all of such U.S. Taxpayer's Common Stock. For example, gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations and use of the Common Stock as security for a loan may be treated as taxable dispositions, and a stepped-up basis upon the death of such a U.S. Taxpayer may not be available. Furthermore, in the absence of an election by such U.S. Taxpayer to treat the Company as a "qualified electing fund' (the "QEF election"), as discussed below, the U.S. Taxpayer would be required to (i) report any gain on disposition of any Common Stock as ordinary income rather than capital gain, (ii) to compute the tax liability on such gain and on certain distributions as if the Items had been earned p ro rata over the U.S. Taxpayer's holding period (or a certain portion thereof) for the Common Stock, and (iii) would be subject to the highest ordinary income tax rate for each taxable year of the U.S. Taxpayer in which the Items were treated as having been earned. Such U.S. Taxpayer would also be liable for interest (which may be non-deductible by certain U.S. Taxpayers) on the foregoing tax liability as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year.
If the Company is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Taxpayer owns any Common Stock, the adverse taxation of disposition gains and certain distributions may be avoided by any U.S. Taxpayer who makes a QEF Election on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such U.S. Taxpayer's tax return for such taxable year. Such a U.S. Taxpayer would be taxed on capital gains as if the Company hadnever been a PFIC, but would also be taxed on its pro-rata share of the Company's earnings and profits for the Company's taxable year in which it was (or was treated as) a PFIC and which ends with or within such U.S. Taxpayer's taxable year, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed by the Company. Should such an election be made (and if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Taxpayers are strongly urged to consider this special election), there are a number of specific rules and requirements applicable there to, and suchan electing U.S. Taxpayer is strongly urged to consult his own tax advisor in that regard.
The foregoing discussion of Canadian taxation and United States taxation is of a general and summary nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of receiving dividends from the Company or disposing of their Common Stock.

Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and acting financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management has designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Canadian GAAP, and reconciled to US GAAP, as applicable.
Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all possible misstatements or frauds. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective as of March 31, 2008.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent auditors regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent auditors pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Directors,
Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Harbour Capital Ltd. as at March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated statements of operations, deficit and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on U.S.- Canada Reporting Conflict
The reporting standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when changes in an accounting policy, such as those described in Note 2, have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Although we conducted our audit in accordance with both Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the PCAOB, our report to the shareholders on the Consolidated Financial Statements dated July 21, 2008 except for Note 10 which is dated September 19, 2008, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been restated to correct errors in the disclosure of net changes in marketable securities as described in Note 10.

PACIFIC HARBOUR CAPITAL LTD
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
(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 the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company is in the business of providing administration services and rent to public companies and is actively searching for other business opportunities.
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 10. 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
The Company classifies marketable securities as financial assets held for trading. These securities which are traded on a recognized securities exchange are recorded at fair values based on quoted closing bid prices at the consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing bid price on the last day the security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates. As permitted under CICA Handbook Section 3855, the consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2007 are not restated. The cumulative effect of this change is to decrease the deficit by $11,383 as at April 1, 2007.

Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
d)
Investments
Investments in privately held companies in which the Company does not exert significant influence are classified as financial assets available-for-sale and are recognized at cost. Downward adjustments to carrying values are made when there is evidence of a decline in value as indicated by the assessment of the financial condition of the investment based on operational results, forecasts and other developments since acquisition.
e)
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
f)
Revenue Recognition
Administrative services and rent are recorded when the services are provided. 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 title of the land. Investment income is recorded in the year earned.
Marketable securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments and unrealised gains and losses in the value of investments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and are calculated on an average cost basis. Upon disposal of an investment, previously recognized unrealised gains or losses are reversed, so as to recognize the full realized gain or loss in the period of disposition.
g)
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the year available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

g)
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share – (cont’d)
For the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2006, potentially dilutive common shares (relating to options and warrants outstanding at year-end) totalling 1,159,028 (2006: 979,028) were not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect was 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)
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
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 and officers is measured at fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the vesting period 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, 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.
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.

Change in Accounting Policies
On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Sections 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” and Section 3865, “Hedges”. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 3861 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and, therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated. Section 3865 describes when and how hedge accounting can be applied as well as the disclosure requirements. Hedge accounting enables the recording of gains, losses, revenues and expenses from derivative financial instruments in the same period as for those related to the hedged item.
Section 3855 prescribes when a financial asset, financial liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount, requiring fair value or cost-based measures under different circumstances. Under Section 3855, financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. Upon adoption of Section 3855, all financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value. The difference between the previous carrying amount and the remeasured amount in accordance with Section 3855 was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings (deficit) at April 1, 2007 except when a financial asset is classified as available for sale. For assets classified as available for sale, the adjustment is included in the o pening balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows: held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings; available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net earnings. Loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as other financial instruments, marketable securities are designated as held-for-trading and investments are designated as available-for-sale financial assets.

Change in Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
Section 3251 establishes new standards on the presentation of equity and changes in equity. Separate presentation of the components of equity, including retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income, contributed surplus, share capital and reserves and the changes therein are required.
l)
Accounting Policy Choice for Transaction Costs
On June 1, 2007, the Emerging Issues Committee of the CICA issued Abstract No. 166, Accounting Policy Choice for Transaction Costs (“EIC-166). This EIC addresses the accounting policy choice of expensing or adding transaction costs related to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities that are classified as other than held-for-trading. Specifically, it requires that the same accounting policy choice be applied to all similar financial instruments classified as other than held-for-trading, but permits a different policy choice for financial instruments that are not similar. The Company has adopted EIC-166 effective June 1, 2007 and requires retroactive application to all transaction costs accounted for in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement. The Company has evaluated the impact of EIC-166 and determined th at no adjustments are currently required.
m)
Accounting Changes
In July 2006, the Accounting Standards Board issued a replacement of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes. The new standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when they result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information, requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements. The impact that the adoption of Section 1506 will have on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting changes.
n)
Future Accounting Changes
Capital Disclosures and financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards: Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation. These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Company’s reporting period beginning on April 1, 2008.

Future Accounting Changes – (cont’d)
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation (cont’d)
Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosure, increases the disclosures currently required to enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entity's financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. CICA Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, replaces the existing requirements on the presentation of financial instruments, which have been carried forward unchanged. These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes on the disclosure and presentation within its financial statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 3064 which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. This new section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. Standards concerning goodwill remain unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The section applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009. It establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are un changed from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new section on its financial statements.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006, AcSB published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2011. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Income Taxes – (cont’d)
The Company has accumulated non-capital losses totalling $3,067,000 which may be applied to reduce future years’ taxable income. The non-capital losses expire as follows:
| 2009 | $ | 1,867,000 |
| 2013 | | 382,000 |

| 2028 | | 244,000 |
| |
| | $ | 3,067,000 |
No provision for income taxes in the US has been recorded. The Company is unable to accurately determine the amount of its loss carry forwards and other tax attributes at this time. The Company expects to have non-capital operating loss carry forwards available to offset any taxable income that may exist for the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements and would be offset by a valuation allowance.

Comparative Figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to confirm to the presentation adopted for the year ended March 31, 2008.
Note 10
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)
Marketable Securities
Prior to April 1, 2007, the Company’s marketable securities were presented at lower of cost or market value. Under US GAAP the Company classifies its marketable securities as “held-for-trading” and they are carried in the financial statements at their fair value equal to their quoted market price at year end. Marketable securities are classified as long-term if management does not intend to dispose of them within the subsequent year. Realized gains and losses and unrealized holding gains and losses on held-for-trading marketable securities are reported in earnings for the year. Upon adoption of CICA Handbook Section 3855 on April 1, 2007 (Note 2), there are no ongoing differences between Canadian and US GAAP in the accounting for marketable securities.
c)
Stock-based Compensation
Pursuant to SAB 5T and FAS 123R, the sale of shares from a principal shareholder to directors of the Company at a discount results in stock-based compensation expense. On January 8, 2008, directors of the Company acquired 1,582,210 common shares from a principal shareholder at a discount resulting in additional stock-based compensation expense of $110,754 for US GAAP.
d)
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation provides guidance on recognition and measurement of uncertainties in income taxes and is effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year end. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
e)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be particularly effective for our financial statements issued for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on its financial position or results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements – (cont’d)
In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. If an entity elects the fair value option for a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security in conjunction with the adoption of this Statement, that security shall be reported as a trading security under Statement 115, but the acco unting for a transfer to the trading category under paragraph 15 (b) of Statement 115 does not apply. Electing the fair value option for an existing held-to-maturity security will not call into question the intent of an entity to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. This statement is effective as of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (i.e. for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008). The Company is currently analyzing the effects of SFAS 159 but does not expect its implementation will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 which amends SAB 107 to allow for the continued use, under certain circumstances, of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of the expected term of so-called “plain vanilla” stock options accounted for under FAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” When SAB 107 was published, the staff believed that more information about employee exercise behaviour (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry or other categories of companies) would become available. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect the simplified method to be used for stock option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff now understands that such information will not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the SEC staff will accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified me thod beyond December 31, 2007 for “plain vanilla” options (as described in SAB 110). The Company does not believe that SAB 110 will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), which replaces FAS 141 and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 160 require retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing min ority interests. FAS 141R and FAS 160 shall be applied prospectively on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact that FAS 141R and FAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006
Total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $563,803 as compared to $267,571 for the year ended March 31, 2006. Revenue consisted of administrative services and rent, investment income, gain on sale of land and gain on sale of marketable securities. The increase in revenue in fiscal 2007 was primarily due to revenue generated from gain on sale of land of $397,235 (2006- $nil). Revenue recorded from sale of marketable securities for fiscal 2007 was $103,806 as compared to $217,416 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in revenue from sale of marketable securities was due to reduced activities in investing and trading of marketable securities in fiscal 2007. Revenues from administrative services and rent were $48,741 for fiscal 2007 compared to $45,933 for fiscal 2006.
The Company reported a net income of $334,647 or $0.05 income per share in fiscal 2007 as compared to a net loss of $99,365 or $0.01 loss per share in fiscal 2006. The increase in fiscal 2007 was due to the following reasons: 1) Revenue increased $296,232 in fiscal 2007 as mentioned above. 2) The Company did not expense any stock-based compensation in fiscal 2007 as compared to stock-based compensation of $68,593 in fiscal 2006. 3) Management fees reduced from $44,250 in fiscal 2006 to $24,000 in fiscal 2007 as part of management cost cutting measures.

General Discussion of Quarterly Results
Income and loss
Significant changes in key financial data for net income or loss during the quarters are as follows:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, net income of $380,107 consisted of a gain on sale of land of $397,235, a gain on settlement of accounts payable of $60,257 and administrative expenses of $77,385.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, net loss of $191,728 was primarily the result of an unrealised loss on write-down of investment of $20,843, stock-based compensation of $74,482 and general and administrative expenses of $96,403.
1.7Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital decreased by $306,113 from $1,024,963 as of March 31, 2007 to $718,850 as at March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to the operating loss for the year.
For the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company generated negative cash outflow of $308,226 from operating activities as compared to $278,216 negative cash outflow from 2007 operating activities. From an operating standpoint, the Company relies on revenue from administrative services and rent to partially remedy operating deficiency. The Company has no plans for any material capital expenditures in the coming year.
The Company did not engage in any financing activities in fiscal 2008 or fiscal 2007.
In fiscal 2008, the Company expended $549 in equipment and $50,056 on investments resulting in cash outflows of $50,605 from investing activities. In fiscal 2007 the Company received net proceeds of $948,696 from sale of marketable securities and land offset by acquisitions of investments and marketable securities of $82,932 and equipment of $8,608 with net cash inflows of $857,156 from investing activities.
The Company generated negative net cash outflow of $308,775 for the 2008 fiscal year. Depending on future growth and investment activities, the Company may obtain equity or debt financing to support acquisition or investment activities.
1.8 Contingent liabilities and Lawsuits
The Company is currently involved with one court case, which it plans to defend vigorously.
The 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 statements in full.
1.9Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements 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.
60
1.10Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On March 31, 2008, the Company had no long-term debt, capital lease obligations, purchase obligations, contractual obligations or commitments. The Company, however, has an operating lease commitment for office space at $85,834 per annum until March 31, 2012.
1.11Financial instruments and Risk Factors
As of March 31, 2008 the Company held $45,804 in marketable securities, which are valued at fair market value. These marketable securities are exposed to market volatility and may result in risk of loss in value. The Company also held $100,056 investments in privately held companies, which are valued at cost. The investments are also subject to risk of loss in value. Other financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, were not exposed to any financial instrument risks since their fair value approximates their carrying values.
Business or investment risks
The Company is subject to risks of venturing into businesses or investments that are not profitable and may result in additional debt costs and contingent liabilities.
1.12Changes in Accounting Policies
Changes in Accounting Policies
On April 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Sections 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, Section 3855, “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement”, Section 3861, “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” and Section 3865, “Hedges”. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Section 3861 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed and, therefore, the comparative figures have not been restated. Section 3865 describes when and how hedge accounting can be applied as well as the disclosure requirements. Hedge accounting enables the recording of gains, losses, revenues and expenses from derivative financial instruments in the same period as for those related to the hedged item.
61
1.12 Changes in Accounting Policies – (cont’d)
Section 3855 prescribes when a financial asset, financial liability or non-financial derivative is to be recognized on the balance sheet and at what amount, requiring fair value or cost-based measures under different circumstances. Under Section 3855, financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. Upon adoption of Section 3855, all financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet at fair value. The difference between the previous carrying amount and the remeasured amount in accordance with Section 3855 was recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings (deficit) at April 1, 2007 except when a financial asset is classified as available for sale. For assets classified as available for sale, the adjustment is included in the opening balance of accumulated oth er comprehensive income. Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows: held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings; available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net earnings. Loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as other financial instruments, marketable securities are designated as held-for-trading and investments are designated as available-for-sale financial assets.
Future Accounting Changes
Capital Disclosures and Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Presentation
On December 1, 2006, the CICA issued three new accounting standards: Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures, Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation. These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements for the Company’s reporting period beginning on April 1, 2008.
Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosure, increases the disclosures currently required to enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entity's financial position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. CICA Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, replaces the existing requirements on the presentation of financial instruments, which have been carried forward unchanged. These standards are effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these changes on the disclosure and presentation within its financial statements.

Future Accounting Changes – (cont’d)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 3064 which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development Costs. This new section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets. Standards concerning goodwill remain unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. The section applies to interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009. It establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards includ ed in the previous Section 3062. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new section on its financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In 2006, AcSB published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
