ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------
On November 3, 1999, JAWS Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), entered into an agreement, the effect of which was that the Company
acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the capital stock of
Pace Systems Group Inc., an Ontario Corporation ("Pace") from all the
shareholders of Pace (the "Sellers"). The consideration to be paid by the
Company to the Sellers for the transaction was determined on an arms-length
basis through negotiations between the Sellers, the Company and their respective
advisors. The consideration to be paid by the Company is a maximum issuance of
1,731,932 common shares of the capital stock of the Company, valued at $1.70 USD
per share, to be released over the next two years. The consideration was
determined by using an evaluation method of 2.29 times the gross revenues of
Pace resulting in a purchase price of approximately $2,944,284 USD. When
determining the purchase price for Pace, the Company considered the value of all
the assets of Pace including: physical assets as reported in the audited
financials dated July 31, 1999, historical revenues, customer lists and all
other assets including leases and goodwill. Additionally the value of the key
employees of Pace was considered to be an integral part of the goodwill and
value of Pace. The terms of the purchase, as described in the Share Purchase
Agreement, as amended, include performance revenue targets and also include the
employment of Peter Labrinos, James Wang, Aidan O'Brien and Joseph Iuso.
The Pace assets were acquired indirectly from the Sellers: Peter Labrinos,
President of Pace Systems, James Wang, Aidan O'Brien, Joseph Iuso, Vasiliki
Labrinos, Panagiotis Labrinos, Cindy Wang, Joseph T. Lee and Mam Ling Wang.
Prior to the transactions described above, there was no material
relationship between the Sellers or any other officers, directors or
shareholders and the Company or any of its affiliates, any director or officer
of the Company or any associate of any such director or officer.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Director
PACE SYSTEMS GROUP
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PACE SYSTEMS GROUP as at July
31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of income (loss) and comprehensive
income (loss) and deficit and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 1999 and
1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at July 31,
1999 and July 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the years ended July 31, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

PACE SYSTEMS GROUP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
Pace Systems Group [the "Corporation"] was incorporated in 1986 under the laws
of Ontario. The Corporation's purpose is providing consulting services to
companies relating to information systems.
The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which are in the
opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair presentation for the periods
being presented.
These financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The more significant accounting policies are summarized below:
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Consulting fees are recognized when the service is rendered or earned.
USE OF ESTIMATES
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 which would affect the amount of recorded assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
is provided on a declining balance basis at rates which are designed to amortize
the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows.
Furniture and fixtures 20%
Computer hardware 30%
INCOME TAXES
The Corporation accounts for deferred income tax based on the liability method.
Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences areas reflected reverse.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into Canadian dollars at historic rates. Revenue and expenses
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the
prevailing rates at the transaction dates. Exchange gains and losses are
included in income.
CASH
Cash comprises of cash on hand and balances with banks.

JAWS TECHNOLGOIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Jaws Technologies, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated on January 27, 1997
under the laws of the State of Nevada as "E-Biz" Solutions, Inc. On March 27,
1998, "E-Biz" Solutions, Inc. changed its name to Jaws Technologies, Inc. The
business purpose is developing and selling encryption software. These activities
are carried out through the Company's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial
statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $505,883 at December
31, 1998, a deficit of $3,213,141 at December 31, 1998 and $7,052,276 as at
September 30, 1999 and net operating cash outflows of $2,741,731 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999. Although it has a positive working
capital balance of $89,026 at September 30, 1999, the Company's continuation as
a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow, to
meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be
required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. However, no assurance
can be given at this time as to whether the Company will achieve any of these
conditions. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time.
Management believes that additional funding will be required to finance expected
operations until a market has been developed for the Company's software.
Management intends to seek additional financing through future private or public
offerings of stock and through the exercise of stock options.
The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair presentation for the periods
being presented.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
USE OF ESTIMATES
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 which would affect the amount of recorded assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, Jaws Technologies, Inc., an Alberta, Canada
corporation ("Jaws Alberta"), and Jaws Technologies (Ontario) Inc. an Ontario
Canada corporation ("Jaws Ontario"), after elimination of intercompany accounts
and transactions.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated at the following annual
rates which are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated
useful lives.
Furniture and fixtures - 20% diminishing balance
Computer hardware - 33% straight line
Computer software for internal use - 33% straight line
Leasehold improvements - 20% straight line
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software development costs are expensed when technological feasibility has not
yet been established. Subsequent to establishing technological feasibility,
such costs are capitalized until the commencement of commercial sales.
FINANCING FEES
Financing fees associated with that portion of the 10% convertible debentures
classified as debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debentures.
Financing fees associated with that portion of the convertible debentures
classified as contributed surplus is charged to that account. The pro rata
portion of financing fees associated with converted debentures is charged to
share capital in excess of par value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from selling encryption software is recognized when the software is
delivered. Consulting fees are recognized when the services are rendered or
earned.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for the tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the
company's assets and liabilities. Temporary differences arise when the
realization of an asset or the settlement of a liability would give rise to
either an increase or decrease in the Company's income taxes payable for the
year or later period. Deferred income taxes are recorded at the income tax
rates that are expected to apply when the deferred tax liability is settled or
the deferred tax asset is realized. When necessary, valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated at the
year-end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated at average
exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial
statements of the subsidiaries are recorded in a "Cumulative Translation
Adjustment" account in stockholders' equity.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The loss per common share has been calculated based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share, assuming all warrants, options and conversion features were exercised,
does not differ from basic earnings per share.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Company applies the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly,
no compensation cost is recognized in the accounts as options are granted with
an exercise price that approximates the prevailing market price.
PRIOR YEAR AMOUNTS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation
adopted in 1999.
3. ACQUISITION
On February 10, 1998 the Company issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares, as
well as options to purchase 400,000 shares of its restricted common stock at
$0.50 per share in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Jaws
Alberta. The options issued in connection with the acquisition have been
ascribed no value. Jaws Alberta was a development stage company which at the
time of acquisition was in the process of creating a new encryption software
product. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method.
The purchase price, and thereby the amounts allocated to software and the shares
issued, net of other assets and liabilities acquired, was determined based on
estimates by management as to the replacement cost for the encryption software
development which had been incurred by Jaws Alberta prior to the acquisition
date. The purchase price has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on
their estimated fair values as follows:
$
---------
Net assets acquired
Non-cash working capital . . . . . . (5,087)
Software under development . . . . . 909,003
Fixed assets . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,891
Due to stockholders. . . . . . . . . (54,443)
Net assets acquired, excluding cash. 852,364
- ------------------------------------ ---------
Acquisition costs. . . . . . . . . . (13,996)
Cash acquired. . . . . . . . . . . . 1,380
Net assets acquired for common stock 839,748
The amount allocated to software under development relates to encryption
software and its related algorithms, including the "L5" software. This
software, at the time of purchase, was not completely developed, tested or
otherwise available for sale and therefore has been immediately expensed in the
accompanying consolidated statements of loss and deficit. Coding and testing
activities for this software were completed on July 31, 1998.
The operating results of the acquired company are included in the consolidated
statements of loss, deficit and comprehensive loss from the date of acquisition.
Pro forma loss and pro forma loss per common share for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998, giving effect to the acquisition of Jaws Alberta as at
January 1, 1998 are $2,217,462 and $0.31 respectively (year ended December 31,
1998 - $3,083,685 and $0.42 respectively). Pro forma revenue does not differ
from that recorded for the period to September 30, 1998, being $28,440, or for
the period to December 31, 1998, being $29,068.
4. TERM DEPOSITS
The term deposits are on deposit with a Canadian Chartered Bank. These deposits
have been pledged as security for certain corporate credit cards, and as such
are not available for the Company's general use. These deposits earn interest
at 2.95 percent per annum and mature May 9, 2000.

- -----------------
The fair value of each option granted to date is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
expected volatility of 167%, risk-free interest rate of 4.87%; no payment of
common share dividends; and expected life of 10 years. Had compensation cost
for these plans been determined based upon the fair value at grant date,
consistent with the methodology prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "accounting for Stock-Based compensation," the Company's loss
and loss per common share for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999
would have been $4,220,310 and $0.33 respectively (year ended December 31, 1998:
$3,324,618 and $0.45 respectively).
During 1998, the Company had entered into a Put Option agreement with an
investor which allowed the Company to require the investor to purchase up to
25,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. In addition, the investor
was to be granted warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
On April 26, 1999, the Company and the investor agreed to cancel the agreement
in exchange for warrants to the investor to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share. The warrants expire April
15, 2002.
On June 21, 1999, the Company issued 834,000 share purchase warrants, which
entitle the holder to purchase 834,000 common shares at $2.25 per share until
June 20, 2001. On August 26, 1999 the Company issued 141,000 common shares at
$1.34 per common share in settlement of a trade payable.

On September 25, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to issue 10%
convertible debentures in series of $200,000 up to a total of $2,000,000,
subject to the Company meeting certain conditions, which mature on October 31,
2001. The holders have the right to convert the debentures in increments of at
least $100,000, at a price equal to the lower of $0.28 and 78% of the average
closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the three trading days
immediately preceding the Notice of Conversion served on the Company. For the
$500,000 of convertible debentures that were issued on January 26, 1999,
$250,000 of debentures can be converted at a fixed price of $0.40 per common
share and the remaining $250,000 can be converted into shares at a fixed rate of
$0.28 per common share. The Company may prepay any or all of the outstanding
principal amounts at any time, upon thirty days' notice, subject to the holders'
right to convert into common shares. A financing fee of 10% is charged on the
principal sum of each convertible debenture issued. Interest is payable on the
maturity date. At the holders' election, interest can be settled in common
stock of the Company based on market prices.
On April 16, 1999, the Company drew down an additional $600,000 of financing
under the 10% convertible debenture agreement, which can be converted into
common stock at a fixed price of $0.65 per common share.
On April 27, 1999, the debenture agreement was amended to include (among others)
the following changes:
(i) the total amount available under the debenture agreement was increased
from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000.
(ii) the financing fee applicable to the additional $3,000,000 available was
set at 8% of the principal sum issued.
(iii) the balance of the financing not yet drawn, $3,480,000, has a fixed
conversion price of $0.40 per share.
(iv) an additional 923,077 share purchase warrants were issued, which give
the holder the right to purchase one common share for each warrant held, at a
price of $0.65 per warrant.
Through September 30, 1999, the Company has issued convertible debentures
totalling $1,520,000 of which $736,329 was recorded as contributed surplus with
an offsetting amount charged as interest on long term debt. Of the debentures
issued, $210,000 principal plus $3,798 interest was converted into 1,912,317
shares on November 30, 1998, based on a conversion price of $.1118 (being 78% of
the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the three
trading days preceding the Notice of Conversion). Interest totalling $79,608
has been accrued and included in the convertible debenture balance outstanding
at September 30, 1999. These shares will be formally issued when the Company's
SB-2 Registration Statement has been declared effective.
At the time of the initial funding on October 1, 1998, the Company issued
1,428,572 common share purchase warrants (357,143 to the agent and 1,071,429 to
the ultimate subscriber of the issue). Each warrant gives the holder the right
to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.28 until October 31, 2001. An
amount of $342,857 has been included in contributed surplus as the estimated
value attributed to these warrants as they were exercisable upon issuance. In
addition, the warrants issued to the agent have been treated as a financing fee
in the amount of $85,714. The value of these fees associated with the equity
component of the 10% convertible debentures has been charged to contributed
surplus in the amount of $24,000. The remaining balance is being amortized over
the life of the 10% convertible debentures.
Through September 30, 1999 the Company has paid financing fees on the 10%
convertible debentures totalling $152,000. The fees associated with the equity
component of the 10% convertible debentures, being $45,089, have been charged to
contributed surplus. The remaining amount, which has been recorded as a
reduction of the debenture principal, is being amortized over the life of the
10% convertible debentures, unless the debentures are converted. If converted,
the pro rata portion of the financing fees associated with the converted
debentures is charged to capital in excess of par value. During 1998, $21,117
has been charged to capital in excess of par value relating to $210,000 of
convertible debentures which were converted.
The additional share purchase warrants issued on April 27, 1999 as described in
(iv) above have been recorded as contributed surplus at their estimated value of
$341,538, as they were exercisable upon issuance. An offsetting amount of
$110,027 attributable to the equity portion of the related debentures has been
recorded as a charge against contributed surplus; the remainder has been charged
as a discount to debt and is being amortized over the life of the debt.
The Company is currently in the process of filing a form SB-2 Registration
Statement qualifying the shares to be issued on conversion of the debentures
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until such time as the common
shares are registered, a charge of 0.986% per day will apply against the initial
amount funded. Further, as registration did not occur within 120 days of
initial funding, a charge of 0.1644% per day will apply for each day thereafter.
The initial amount funded on October 1, 1998 was $200,000. An amount of $82,200
for the penalty of late filing of the Registration Statement, and has been
included in accounts payable.
9. LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per common share is loss for the period divided by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. The effect on earnings per share of the
exercise of options and warrants, and the conversion of the convertible
debentures is anti-dilutive.

The Company's activities are conducted in one operating segment with all
activities relating to the development and sale of encryption software. These
activities are planned to be carried out in Canada and the United States. To
date, all the activities have occurred in Canada.
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments comprising cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from
related parties, deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due
to related parties, capital lease obligations, and amounts due to stockholders
approximate their fair value. It is management's opinion that the Company is
not exposed to significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments.
The estimated fair value as at September 30, 1999 of the 10% convertible
debentures is $864,934 (December 31, 1998 - $189,000). This is based on the
estimated present value of the principal and interest of the debenture.
The Company is subject to cash flow risk to the extent of the fixed 10% simple
interest rate being charged on the convertible debentures. The effective annual
interest rate realized by the Company, exclusive of the amounts relating to the
conversion feature of the 10% convertible debentures and the warrants, was 10%
(December 31, 1998 - 10%).
16. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities", which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Company does not acquire derivatives or engage in hedging
activities.

(All amounts stated in $U.S.)

See accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements
1. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by management from the unaudited financial statements as at
September 30, 1999 and for the nine month period then ended of Jaws
Technologies, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) ("Jaws") and Pace Systems Group Inc.
("Pace"), and Offsite Data Services Ltd. ("Offsite), together with other
information available to the companies. In the opinion of the management of
Jaws, these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. These pro forma
consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the financial
position or the results of operations that actually would have occurred if the
events reflected therein had been in effect on the dates indicated nor of the
financial position or the results of operations which may be obtained in the
future.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited and unaudited financial statements of the
companies included elsewhere in this Form 8K Amendment #1.
2. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 1999 gives
effect to the following assumptions and transactions outlined in the Circular as
if the effective dates of those transactions were September 30, 1999:
2.1 The acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of Pace in
exchange for 1,385,546 common shares of Jaws valued at $2,355,428.
Additional contingent consideration payable on the acquisition of Pace has not
been reflected in the pro forma consolidated capitalization as the outcome of
the contingency cannot be reasonably determined at this time. The additional
consideration, which will be recorded as additional common share capital if and
when it becomes payable, is based upon the achievement of certain performance
and revenue targets over the twenty-four months following the close date. The
maximum additional consideration related to the Pace acquisition, assuming all
the performance and revenue targets established in the applicable share purchase
agreement are met would result in the issuance of an additional 346,386 common
shares of Jaws.
The acquisition has been accounted for in these pro forma financial statements
using the purchase method. The aggregate purchase price of $2,455,428 has been
allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, as
follows:
Purchase Price Allocation
$
Net liabilities acquired (54,452)

Goodwill 2,509,880
Purchase price 2,455,428

2.2 The acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of Offsite
(including common shares of Offsite issuable on the exercise of all of the
outstanding Offsite A warrants) for 4,874,822 exchangeable shares of Jaws with
an ascribed value of $13,113,271.
Pursuant to this Offer, Jaws issued 2,318,550 warrants in exchange for the
outstanding Offsite warrants. 1,818,550 of these warrants entitle the holder
thereof to acquire .3524 of a Jaws common share upon payment of Cdn $0.40 up to
March 15, 2000; the remaining 500,000 warrants entitle the holder to acquire
.3524 of a Jaws common share for prices ranging from Cdn $0.50 to Cdn $0.55 up
to September 29, 2001.
Pursuant to this Offer, 910,584 stock options of Offsite for stock options of
Jaws, which entitle the holder of each to purchase .3524 of an exchangeable
share of Jaws, at a price of Cdn$0.25 which expire on March 15, 2004.
The acquisition has been accounted for in these pro forma consolidated financial
statements using the purchase method. The aggregate purchase price of
$13,363,271 has been allocated to the net assets acquired based on their
estimated fair values, as follows:

Acquisition costs 250,000

3. The pro forma consolidated statement of income for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 gives effect to the acquisitions by Jaws as described
in 2.1 and 2.2 above as if the transactions had occurred January 1, 1999. The
following adjustments are reflected:
3.1 The amortization of goodwill attributable to the allocation of the
purchase price of Pace in excess of the carrying value of the net assets
acquired (see 2.1 and 2.2 above) calculated on a straight-line basis over a
period of three years.
3.2 The amortization of goodwill attributable to the allocation of the
purchase price of Offsite in excess of the carrying value of the net assets
acquired, (see 2.3 and 2.4 above) calculated on a straight-line basis over a
period of three years.
4. Effective on November 1, 1999 Jaws entered into a debenture amendment and
settlement agreement (the "Agreement") with Thomson Kernaghan & Co. Limited
("Thomson Kernaghan"), which resulted in the settlement of all outstanding
obligations of the convertible debentures and related warrants, and the issuance
by Jaws of common shares to Thomson Kernaghan on November 23, 1999.
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 1999 gives effect
to the following assumptions and transactions as if the effective date of the
Agreement was September 30, 1999:
4.1 Issuance of 7,307,892 common shares relating to the conversion of all
the outstanding debentures, the exchange of certain warrants for shares, and the
exercise of certain warrants for cash, resulting in a reduction on convertible
debenture of $1,091,348 an increase to share capital in the amount of
$1,910,551, an increase to cash in the amount of $400,000, and an increase to
the deficit in the amount of $331,003, representing the reduction of unamortized
financing fees and related interest and penalty amounts, and a reduction to
accounts payable of $88,200 for penalties accrued.
The pro forma consolidated income statement for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 gives effect to the following assumptions and transactions as
if the effective date of the Agreement was January 1, 1999:
4.2 Interest expense of $833,115 and amortization of deferred financing fees
of $75,601 relating to the convertible debentures would not have been incurred.
5. The amounts shown in these pro forma consolidated financial statements
for Pace and for Offsite have been translated into United States dollars from
Canadian dollars at the period end rate for the balance sheet and the period
average rate for the income statement.
