                       CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

     The Company's accounts are maintained in United States dollars. However,
the Company's subsidiaries maintain their accounts in Canadian dollars. In this
Registration Statement all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars
except where otherwise indicated, To the extent such dollar amount refers to the
Subsidiaries' accounts, the US dollar amount was obtained by converting the
Canadian dollar account to US Dollars using average rates of exchange for each
period of operations, and end of period rates for balance sheet presentations.


     As of August 31, 1999, the exchange rate for conversion to US dollars was
Cdn$1.00 = US$.6698. The following table sets forth, for each of the periods
indicated, the high and low rates of exchange of Canadian dollars into US
dollars, the average of such exchange rates during each period, and the end of
period rates. Exchange rates represent the noon buying rate in New York City for
cable transfers payable in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The average rates presented in the

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

                             CORPORATE ORGANIZATION


     On Line Productions Services, Inc. ("ONPS" or the "Company") was organized
under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 18, 1999, for the purpose of
completing a reorganization and change of domicile of Earth Industries, Inc. a
corporation formed under the laws of the State of Texas on August 26, 1996.
Please also refer to "Item 1. Description of Business--Reorganization and
Acquisition of On-Line Film Services Inc."

     ONPS, through its subsidiary Online, provides software applications for the
film, television and entertainment industry. Please also refer to "Item 1.
Description of Business--the Company's Business."


                                       3

<PAGE>


          Reorganization and Acquisition of On-Line Film Services, Inc.


     The results of the Plan of Reorganization were:

     Earth Industries completed a 30 to 1 "reverse split" of its 51,360,000
          issued and outstanding shares; by doing so, it reduced the number of
          its issued and outstanding shares to 1,712,000.

     Earth Industries merged with and into ONPS thereby effecting a move from
          Texas to Nevada and a change to its corporate name.


     ONPS issued 1,711,926 post-reverse shares of its Class A Common Stock to
          the shareholders of Earth Industries. Please also refer to "Item 11.
          Description of Securities."

     Following the Reorganization and in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Plan of Reorganization, ONPS:

     On March 4, issued 5,714,284 shares of Class A Common Stock in
          consideration of the payment of an aggregate of $999,999, pursuant to
          Regulation D, Rule 504, as promulgated by the Securities Exchange
          Commission, pursuant to ss.3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933;

     On March 3, issued 2,763,598 shares of Class A Common Stock, at a deemed
          price of $1.00 per share, to shareholders of OnLine in exchange for
          all of such shareholders shares of Online, pursuant to ss.4(2) of the
          Securities Act;

     On March 4, issued 3,673,292 Class B Special Non-Equity Voting Shares
          (the "Class B Shares") to 4 shareholders of affiliates of OnLine in
          connection with such shareholder's exchanging then common share of
          Online for Preferred Equity Shares of Online. The Class B Shares are
          convertible to shares of Class A Common Stock upon cancellation of the
          corresponding Preferred Equity Shares of OnLine.

     Upon completion of the Reorganization, and as at October 31, 1999, the
Company had 10,480,614 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,673,292 Class B
Shares issued and outstanding.

     On March 4, 1999 the then officers and directors of Earth Industries
resigned. Mr. Aerock Fox and Terry Roycroft were appointed directors of the
Company. Please refer to "Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and
Control Persons."




THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS

     OnLine, the Company's operating subsidiary was formed in 1995 for the
purpose of developing effective software solutions for operations within the
film and television industry to replace time consuming, inefficient and costly
pre-internet models of operation. Since its formation, OnLine has focused its
efforts on the development of unique, proprietary, internet based technology,
which the Company believes will change the global production community's access
to available resources in the critical areas of casting, locations and
production.


     Rights to use its software in specific applications in the entertainment
field and in specified geographical areas were sold in order to finance, in
part, OnLine's continuing activities in a manner that would minimize shareholder
dilution. Please also refer to "Item. 2. Managements' Discussion and Analysis or
Plan of Operation." OnLine now helps casting directors and talent agents fill
roles for the film and television industry "online". It is a business to
business communication technology


                                       4

<PAGE>

which allows for efficient searches and movement of data between professionals.

     As a complete turnkey solution, this new technology focuses all production
tasks into one system and allows industry personnel not only immediate access to
the widest possible choice of such resources but also the ability to interact
with selected resources within a secure, password protected electronic
environment from any Internet accessible computer. On-Line, through two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, On-Line Distributing, Inc. and Prairie On-Line
Management Services, Inc., provides computer distribution and management
services.

     OnLine has implemented a three-stage development strategy to be completed
by the year 2000. The first stage ("Phase I") was to produce an online casting
database. This has been accomplished with the success of the Casting Workbook.
The second stage ("Phase II"), the production database is currently in beta
testing(1). The third stage ("Phase III") will be the execution of the Company's
existing locations database. The integration of these databases will form a
complete communication system.

o    Phase I: The Casting Workbook

     The first component of this communication system is the Casting Workbook,
containing the resumes and images of thousands of performing artists. The
Casting Workbook provides selective search techniques through which casting
directors can quickly locate and preview performers meeting predetermined
criteria. Broadcasts from e-mail and faxes go directly to hundreds of agents
instantly. Direct communication with a selected performer's agent can then be
established on the system's password secured network. Talent searches, which
traditionally might have required hours or days to complete, can now be
accomplished in a matter of minutes. Conversely, performance and technical
artists, whose exposure to casting directors and producers traditionally has
been restricted to their individual agency's limited contact base, now have an
opportunity to achieve a global presence.

Description of How the Casting Workbook Works

     The Casting Workbook is a secure password protected computer network that
is connected to the Company's database, which contains casting information about
thousands of actors, models and entertainers. The in-house production crew at
OnLine developed the database and is using this technology to develop other
products.

     The interactive system of the Casting Workbook is fast, easy and an
innovative means for casting directors to find and preview talent. It contains
text resume photographs and video and audio samples for actors. Once the desired
talent is located by using the database search techniques, the casting director
can communicate directly with agents over a secure network.

 Direct Response


     Casting directors from around the world can type their script breakdown
into the Casting Workbook, select the city or cities for transmission and press
send. The script breakdown which provides details about a project including
location dates and character descriptions is sent via the Internet, converted to
faxes and transmitted to the over 300 talent agents in 15 cities in Canada and
the United States currently subscribing to the Company's services, for the
purpose of auditioning actors for

testing".

                                       5

the roles described.

     Agents with their roster of actors on the database use the fax as an alert
to go to the Casting Workbook and select actors' photos and resumes to send to
the corresponding casting director instantly over the Internet. The casting
director then has access to the current resume and photograph of each suggested
actor. The casting director simply needs to select the actor they wish to
audition and the agent is instantly informed. The Company attempts to limit
access to the database to bona fide casting directors and talent agents as
confirmed, in part, by industry and professional association membership. In
addition each must provide two reference letters. Each is given an individual
identification and password in order to access the database.

     From the actors perspective not only does this system eliminate tedious and
costly tasks, such as sending materials by courier and updating binders for
agencies, it also provides them with potentially greater exposure.


A Comparison of the Casting Workbook with Existing Systems



     Casting professionals around the world have been using the hand delivery
and facsimile relay system supported by the telephone to transport script
breakdown information, scripts, actor photographs, resumes, video cassettes,
audio cassettes and casting requests. All of this information is contained on
different mediums requiring constant and costly reproduction. All of this
information now can be contained digitally in the Casting Workbook allowing a
central information source.



     Prior to the availability of the Casting Workbook, talent agents would have
to make up three ring binders that contained 8 x 10 photos and resumes of their
entire roster for each casting director as well as many of the production
companies. These were expensive to create due to duplication, assembly, courier
and maintenance charges involved and were constantly out of date as actors
change agencies or require resume updates frequently. In addition, casting
directors would have to thumb through hundreds of binders to find special skills
or traits that can now be searched efficiently on the Casting Workbook.


     By digitizing(2) this collection of information and sorting it accordingly
in a searchable database, OnLine provides an affordable and highly efficient
alternative. Instead of duplicating text, images, audio and videocassette and
then shipping this information to multiple destinations across the city, country
or even planet, the Company is able to post the information once, in one place,
for casting professionals to access resulting in significant cost savings to
both the actors and talent agencies.


     Breakdowns


     Script breakdowns are created by or for casting directors for each project
they are involved in. The breakdowns include essential details such as project
description, characters information, shoot dates and audition times. The Pre
Casting Workbook system requires a casting director to send the script or a
completed breakdown to a separate company (for example, Breakdown Services in
Los Angeles and Vancouver and Tracy Productions in Toronto) who, in turn, would
fax the information to each selected agent at a cost per month to those
receiving agents. These agents then respond by sending casting suggestions by
facsimile and/or courier to the original casting director. Subsequent
communications continue by telephone or facsimile at cost to both individuals.
Unlike electronic


- ----------
(2) The process of digitizing information involves taking all types of
information (print, sound, and image) and feeding it into a computer which in
turn, electronically changes it into a series of ones and zeroes that it can
efficiently read. This simple transformation enables a person to make material
changes to the information and to instantly transfer it across computer
networks.

                                       6

<PAGE>

communication, the telephone demands both parties be available simultaneously.
Even e-mail has advantages over the facsimile process because of the editing
properties.

     The old breakdown system is crude and full of redundancies that slow the
process. A script breakdown requires manipulation of highly detailed
information. By digitizing the content, ease of transfer via computers is
enabled. The old system involves a slow chain where each party is dependent on
the other's performance and availability. The Casting Workbook allows fast and
easy information manipulation and immediate transfer at a fraction of the
conventional cost.

     Agency Representation


     Currently, actors are only represented by agencies in their surrounding
area. That means when a Los Angeles or Vancouver actor, represented by a local
agency, works in Toronto for an extended period of time he/she will have to find
new representation through a Toronto agency. This limitation is due to an
agency's inability, generally, to physically exist in all places at once. The
Casting Workbook allows agencies to represent actors regardless of where they
are located. This prevents the agencies from losing valued clients and
eliminates the need for actors to find other agencies, which saves both parties
time and money.


Continuing Refinements to the Casting Workbook

     The Casting Workbook is continuing to develop, as users request new
features. The Casting Workbook has become the industry standard for electronic
distribution of information in the Canadian casting industry.

     EBinder

     Traditionally, agents were required to produce photo album "binders" which
had photos and resumes for each of their actors. These were for the benefit of
casting directors, producers or any other professional who needed to view the
agent's roster. The binders quickly became out of date the minute they were
produced and were maintained only once or twice a year because of the time and
expense required to produce and courier them to every casting professional.

     The EBinder replaces the traditional binder. Now, an agent need only
provide a password to any production professional who requests to see their
EBinder via the Internet. Having their information on the Internet, the agents
allow anyone in the world to access their information at any time, provided they
have been assigned a password.

     Most importantly, the EBinder is tied to the agent's roster and is updated
as regularly as the agent updates his roster. Instead of the old style of
updating twice a year, this can now be done twice a day. In addition, the agents
can write personal messages on the front page of the EBinder to welcome viewers
and to draw attention to specific actors.

     Now, producers also have the ability to quickly search and sort rosters in
a way that was never possible before. Controlled access of information via
passwords, gives the agents control and flexibility through the EBinder never
available through traditional hard copy binders.

     Sides Online

     Sides OnLine is a secure, fast and efficient way for casting directors to
distribute their scripts and sides to agents. Scripts contain the entire story
line, the character lines as well as the different settings. Sides are the
specific parts of a script that involve any one character. Any actor auditioning
for a role in a script requires the sides for that individual character.

                                       7

<PAGE>

     Scripts OnLine replaces the tedious action of casting directors sending
scripts by courier and faxing to talent agents. Talent agents no longer have to
create cover sheets and distribute them to their appropriate actors.

     With Sides OnLine, the Sides are integrated right into their Workbook. They
simply click on the word, "SIDES" to instantly download the Sides and Script.
Cover sheets no longer require typing. The information for each character is
automatically formatted by the database. Agents click on the word, "COVER
SHEETS" and a prewritten form is produced complete with all of the specific
breakdown elements.

Products in Development

     Sound and Video Production Services


     A voice-over database, which would include any form of recorded voice, is
anticipated to attract additional actors from across North America. One such
application would include live voice auditions over the Internet, which would
save long distance charges and courier costs. This is expected to be online by
the end of 1999.


     In addition to sound, video production services will also be incorporated
into the service. Most professional agencies have videotapes for all of their
actors and would save the high-end cost of duplication and courier costs.
Digitally recorded sound and video is quickly gaining popularity due to the
editing efficiency and the convenience of transporting electronically.

     Industry Advertising

     Once the Casting Workbook has attained a significant level of acceptance in
the North American market, we intend to target industry advertisers, such as
acting schools, photographers, make-up artists, dance schools and production
crews. In addition, corporate advertisers from ancillary industries such as
travel, food and beverage, and sporting goods will be sought.

Market Analysis and Size

     In 1995, OnLine began creating sophisticated communication tools and
databases for a film and television production Internet site in anticipation of
the rapid technological growth in this area. As OnLine began to market and
distribute these products, it became apparent that the production community was
eager to use computers and to get on the Internet, but required assistance and
support.

     From constant industry communication, we have discovered that the
technological progression in this market follows a typical systematic evolution
as follows:

     Businesses acquire computer systems for automating tasks.

     Membership with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is bought.

     Internet skills are mastered and services are exercised (e.g. e-mail).

     An Internet presence is obtained by creating a web page.

     A domain name is secured, which assures a permanent presence.

     The company optimizes their computer system to enhance communications
through a network.

     High speed Internet connections are utilized to transmit large files of
information between global locations.

                                       8

<PAGE>


     The Casting Workbook was designed for and is currently being utilized by
casting industry members in Canada and the United States to electronically cast
actors and performers for their film, television, and commercial productions.
The system was created by working closely with industry professionals in order
to design software that reflects the needs of the most discerning audience. By
meeting the needs of the casting industry, the Company is positioning the
Casting Workbook as the industry standard.

     The production aspects of the entertainment industry are large and global
in nature. The entertainment industry is one of the leading commercial export
sectors of the United States. OnLines' internet direct audience, including
professional and participant/subscriber market, is defined as those who are
employed or want to be employed in the entertainment industry. This includes,
but is not limited to, actors, models, musicians, dancers, extras and other
entertainers worldwide (collectively "Entertainers").


Marketing

     Although OnLine has participated in local events and trade shows, the
market growth has taken place primarily by word of mouth. OnLine intends to
increase its profile in a widespread promotional campaign, which will include:
print advertising in industry publications; radio clips; trade-show exhibits;
seminars; and industry activities to network with industry professionals.

     Advertisements have appeared in the Hollywood Reporter and other trade
related publications. Some examples of trade shows, events and exhibits that
OnLine has participated in to-date, include: The Stephen J. Cannell Golf
Classic; local film festivals; Cineposium; Cinexpo; and Locations Expo in Los
Angeles 1995, 1996 and 1998.

     In addition, OnLine is working with several organizations in the community
through cross-promotional activities to enhance its corporate good will. Some of
these organizations like Film Union locals and Women in Film, and regional
organizations such as producer organizations and the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences.

Security Consciousness

     Employees and contractors are required to sign a confidentiality agreement
to prevent them from sharing company and/or product information with
competitors. Management protects the company's assets through special efforts in
concert with its technology advisors. The nature of the developing proprietary
knowledge based products, demand a high level of security to ensure market
leadership.


     An external breach of OnLine's computer system is regarded as an important
concern. OnLine has incorporated Windows NT passwords and software/hardware
firewalls as primary and secondary security measures. The firewalls are special
software that is set up on a network to prevent intruders from stealing or
destroying confidential files or information.

     By using the NT 4.0 Server, 128-bit3 security is enhanced. The Company
monitors access to the system and regularly conduct checks for unauthorized
activity. Implementing protection like hardware and software firewalls has
increased protection of sensitive information. Packet sniffing, an

encryption algorithm (a mathematical formula) and saving or transmitting the
encrypted data. The greater the number of `bits' used in the encryption, the
stronger the protection. A bit is a small unit of computer data. 128-bit is the
biggest and strongest encryption commercially available in the United States and
Canada.

often used monitoring technique utilized to breach firewalls and to break into a
computer system, is virtually impossible (approximately 100th of a percent).


Intellectual Property Protection


     The production and distribution of software has many benefits over other
conventional products. It can be constructed virtually anywhere and once
designed, it can be mass-produced very easily. These cost-effective factors for
production are also attractive to others who see the opportunity.

     The products being produced at OnLine however, are unique in the fact that
they are highly complex software databases of information that are
interdependent and act as an information hub. Simply trying to copy the
information is of little use without the complex communication network.


     The software that OnLine has produced is protected through authoring
rights. OnLine has also protected its proprietary digital assets such as images
by Using Watermarking Technology by Digimarc, Adobe.

     A digital watermark is best described by comparing it to a traditional
watermark. Traditional watermarks are added to some types of paper to offer
proof of authenticity. They are imperceptible, except when the paper is held up
to the light for inspection. Similarly, Digimarc digital watermarks are added to
still images in a way that can only be seen by a computer but is imperceptible
to the human eye. A Digimarc watermark carries a message indicating the true
creator or distributor of the image.

     Digital watermarking has provided OnLine with three main benefits:

          Protects valuable images by communicating copyright information;

          Tracks down uses of the images in the Web; and


          Generates incremental revenue by embedding company information in
          every image (in case of resale of the images).

     OnLine offers complete technical support to its customers. By so doing,
OnLine enables users to make a smooth transition from the conventional work
process.

     OnLine believes that an essential factor for success is providing
networking consultation, software support and superior personal service. As a
pioneer in the Internet technology industry, OnLine has discovered that by
providing an appropriate level of service the company's products are quickly
becoming the communication standard for the film and television industry.

     Database Development

     Databases for models, dancers, extras, musicians and commercial modules are
under development and expected to be completed in 1999.

     Database for Extras

     An "extra" is normally a person used in the background of television and
movie productions. Unlike actors, extras do not require acting skills. This
makes the extra profession open to anyone who has the interest. This has allowed
the extra market to grow enormously over the last few years.

     OnLine's new system will include automated telephone contact to indicate
availability to the extras' agent who would then fill the casting director
requests (breakdowns).

     The extra business is much larger and therefor much faster paced than that
of principal actors.

                                       10

<PAGE>

Since extras do not require the experience or training of actors and are only
used in non-essential positions, (usually in the scene background) there is a
large turnover. Most of the individuals doing extra work only do so for a short
time. However, the customer force is much larger and potentially more profitable
than principle actors and it's shear size is ideally suited for computer
database management.

     Talent Scout


     There is no system, digital or otherwise, that is currently available to
assist actors who are looking for agency representation. OnLine is working to
create an area in the database that will post actors' photographs and resumes
for agent perusal. For a fee of Cdn.$42 ($42US for listings in the United
States) per year, an actor can be located and short-listed by casting directors
as a self represented actor during their search for an agent. Representation is
simply transferred in the system once an agent has been secured for the actor.


Pricing and Entertainers using OnLine


     ONPS charges each Canadian entertainer who wants to have his/her file
included in the Casting Workbook database a flat fee of Cdn.$42 ($42US for
listings in the United States), which entitles the actor to a resume and one
photograph. Additional services, such as, multiple photographs, an audit
voice-over tape, or video reel, each come with an additional charge. The fees
are paid by the entertainer either directly to the Company or through their
agents. Initially, some entertainers were placed on the system on a free "trial
basis" ranging from 30 to 90 days. The Company's current marketing strategy
permits certain directors and talent agents access to this system at no charge.

     Currently there are approximately 15,000 entertainers using some or all of
OnLine's available services and products. Most of these are concentrated in the
Canadian marketplace. However, OnLine is poised to expand into the larger Los
Angeles market.


Expansion


     OnLine currently has offices in Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto.


     The entertainment internet technology sector is highly fragmented with
several internet entities providing various services. OnLine is aggressively
seeking market dominance by way of mergers and acquisitions of production based
software and internet related companies. These companies are in various stages
of development, some of which would be a perfect fit and value-added additions
to the OnLine vision. The Company has developed a long-term plan for acquiring
several of these companies. The Company plan is to acquire and integrate these
various other types of services into a comprehensive site for producers, agents,
directors, casting directors, actors and other production professionals. These
acquisitions will greatly enhance the company's revenue projections by enabling
it to grow more rapidly by expanding its internet audience and potential market.

Strategic Alliances


     OnLine and Columbus Entertainment, Inc. ("Columbus") recently signed a
Production Services Agreement whereby OnLine and Columbus will cross-promote and
consult toward joint efforts in production software. Columbus recently signed a
3 year deal with 20th Century Fox to provide software services to its
productions worldwide. The Company's agreement will place the Casting Workbook
before Hollywood Studio executives on a daily basis. Please also refer to Item
1. Description of Business - The Company's Business.




                                       11

Competition

     The Company's management is not aware of any other company in Canada that
has the same type of database and/or service to film and television
professionals as it is currently providing. There are several small companies
who offer various television and film services but they are without a direct
response element and accordingly do not, in the Company's view, present a
competitive risk to the Company's operations


     Competitors who do offer services similar to the Company's include:
Breakdown Services Ltd., "The Link" and CastNet(EINI) ("Castnet").


     Since neither Castnet for Breakdown Services has a reporting obligation
under the Securities Act of 1934, the information presented below regarding
Castnet and Breakdown Services is based on information derived primarily from
their respective web sites.

CASTNET

     CastNet is a U.S. company that over the past 1.5 years has attempted to
develop a software and database technology similar to Online's Casting Workbook
having been developed over the past 4 years. CastNet has announced further
development of products which OnLine has are already completed or has in
advanced design

     CastNet's software design is considerably less robust and interactive
compared to the Casting Workbook. For example, CastNet's breakdowns are "open
fields", so information in those fields is incapable of being retrieved,
organized and managed in as much detail and as easily as it can be with the
Casting Workbook. Furthermore, the CastNet breakdown is faxed during office
hours and redistribution to the agents by CastNet personnel, while with the
Casting Workbook, breakdowns can be sent instantly from the casting director's
computer 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. In addition, CastNet provides
limited security, as scripts and sides are distributed in mass to everyone, and
cannot be sent to pre-selected recipients, as is the case with the Casting
Workbook.

     Another of the many differences between the two products is in searching.
When a search is performed on CastNet, the results can only be viewed one page
at a time and in a linear fashion, so a casting director who has 100 pages of
results and wants to read page 100 would have to go through the first 99 pages
to get there. With the Casting Workbook, the director can instantaneously go to
any page he chooses.


     The CastNet system uses an expensive ISDN line and requires high
maintenance. In the Company's opinion, the CastNet database is not as easy to
use and lacks complexity.


BREAKDOWN SERVICES


     Breakdown Services is a U.S. company, with a similar database software to
that of Online's Casting Workbook, but in the Company's view offering less
flexibility. Again, unlike the 4 years of development behind the Casting
Workbook, Breakdown Services has only developed their product for the past 1.5
years. More specifically, the software and database are not as user friendly.
Their software is "nonrelational" sitting on five different servers, which means
the user must go through considerably more steps in the program to access
certain information or perform a task. Like CastNet, casting directors can only
send breakdowns during office hours. Unlike the Casting Workbook, Breakdown's
technology lacks the flexibility to allow a casting director to selectively
choose which talent agents he wants his scripts and sides sent. Equally
important, and unlike the Casting Workbook, actors cannot immediately update
their information on the database, to ensure casting directors always receive
their most up to date profile.


     Breakdown Services has offered a hand delivery system for script breakdowns
in the United

                                       12

<PAGE>

States and Canada for more than four years.


     Although CastNet and Breakdown Services may not be the Company's only
competitors, they are the only ones the Company is aware of that electronically
broadcast script breakdowns for use on the internet.


o    Phase II: Production


     OnLine has recently acquired, pursuant to an agreement with Columbus, dated
August 31, 1998 as amended on February 19, 1999, the worldwide rights to the
Columbus Software Suite for all aspects of commercial production pursuant to an
agreement dated as of August 31, 1998 with Columbus. The Software Suite is a
relational database application which is able to run locally or on a group of
computers located in a relatively limited area (like an office building) and
connected by a communications link that allows them to interact with each other
(a "Local Area Network" or "LAN"). It is made up of a number of commercial
production database documents that function together as a separate modular
application that generates reports. Please also refer to "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation."

     Production management has a requirement for up-to-date information on the
status of feature film, television and commercial productions. OnLine
specializes in the beginning-to-end management and delivery of that information.
Through its use of hardware, specially designed software, customer oriented
service and an intimate, hands-on knowledge of the production industry, we
believe that OnLine is positioned to deliver the only complete data management
service for the film and television industry. It includes hardware (where
necessary), software and management of data that delivers up-to-the minute
information directly from the production office to production management in the
commercial production sector.

     This service provides everything the commercial production needs for
electronic communications:


          The installation of hardware and software by Online ensures that
     everything is fully functional from day one.

          Specifically designed software mirrors the way the commercial
     production office people work today. It just makes life easier by
     eliminating the repeated capture of the same information.

          The movement and formatting of data collected from the commercial
     production office, through OnLines' own communications servers and
     delivered directly into the corporate Internet is handled by Online.

          Above all, Online takes responsibility for delivering the information
     at a time and in the format demanded by senior commercial production
     management. Such deliveries include: Cost Reports; Budgets; Hot Costs; Call
     Sheets/Production Reports; Shooting Schedules; Deals/Start Close Paperwork;
     Staff & Crew Lists; Purchase Orders; Travel Authorizations; Time Cards;
     Daily Labor Sheets; and much more. Basically, anything that is generated by
     each department can be sent and tracked in the OnLine system.

     The OnLine system is not designed to replace an existing accounting system.
Rather, it enables departmental coordinators to produce their cost reports for
use by the production accountant more efficiently and with less wasted time than
is possible today. Repetitive data entry is avoided and at

                                       13

<PAGE>

the same time key data is extracted and made available to the executives
responsible for the show in a more timely manner than is possible through the
production accounting system.

     In addition, all of the reports that are generated out of a customer's
current accounting system are also made available, thus enabling easy trend
analysis and deal comparisons across productions.

     The benefits of the OnLine system include: faster identification of trends,
schedule slip pages can be flagged, expenditures can be more tightly controlled
and above all clear, relevant and timely information can be shared across the
system; and the elimination of the need for paper reports and associated costs.


Competition

     Competition for the production software is spotty at best, and consists of
the studios and production companies in house computer staff who have designed
pieces of the program to be used in house. There is no known competitor with a
package as comprehensive as the commercial suite.


o    Phase III: Locations

     The third phase of the Company's communications model for the film and
television industry is evolving with many of the characteristics that were
developed and learned in the development of the casting database. This new
database technology uses digital photography, archives and regularly updates
potential locations for film and television use.

Technical Description

     OnLine developed a searchable database containing thousands of location
files that can be viewed by using the OnLine Internet site. Once the desired
images have been previewed, a hard copy of the file can be requested by e-mail
on a transaction basis.

     Production companies spend thousands of dollars per week on scouts, film
development and couriers that send photographs around the country. By using
digital technology, OnLine is able to greatly reduce or eliminate film and
development costs, scout production time and courier fees. After the digital
camera takes the picture, it simply feeds the image into a computer without
having to produce a hard copy on paper.

     The Location Database service allows directors, producers and location
managers to view an up-to-date library of files without leaving their office. If
a production company is unable to find the location they require from OnLine's
existing files, they can use the service as a communication tool to send the
criteria to a location scout, production company or film company. This is
especially effective for producers trying to access remote and hard to reach
locations.


o    Other Products

Mailcard


     The Mailcard is an application software computer program. It consists of
copyrightable sequences of computer instructions that enable its customers to
effectively access their personal mailboxes by way of an application program
that resides on a floppy disk, thereby allowing the user to access his or her
e-mail from any location with a PC or Windows PC computer and a modem and ISP.
The Mailcard is an integrated and sophisticated product that focuses on
providing e-mail services to a wide range of users, including those who do not
own a computer or have ISP service. The Mailcard may be customized to
accommodate niche markets. The Mailcard is capable of running from either a

                                       14

<PAGE>

floppy disk or a hard drive. It is self contained and self running, having
configuration information (i.e. in the "in" files) stored within the application
to allow it to be moved easily between computers. The Program consists of
approximately 15,000 lines of Pascal computer code.


     Traditional e-mail allows people to exchange messages by computer with
employees, clients and potential customers anywhere in the world. It is a
flexible and rapid form of communication with only one drawback, you need a
configure base computer. The MailCard helps clients overcome this problem by
providing a portable e-mail client. Instead of trying to reconfigure another
computer, a user can simply insert the MailCard diskette into the drive and run
the program. Their e-mail will be downloaded to the disk with no trace of either
the program or their e-mail left on the computer.


     In light of the many forms of competitive free Web based programs such as
"HOT MAIL" and "FREE MAIL," the Company is currently assessing the status of the
MailCard and its potential application to the film and television industries.


     The amounts paid by each individual varied depending on the territory and
scope of use purchased.


o    Recent Financing Transactions


     During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, OnLine entered into a
business transaction in connection with the Casting Workbook software. It sold,
in separate agreements, rights to 5 individuals for the use of the software in
certain geographical areas (excluding New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Arizona,
California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Washington and Rhode
Island). These agreements generated immediate revenues of $655,000 used to fund
operations of OnLine; it also generated contingent revenue of $2,912,000. OnLine
retains complete control of the Casting Workbook, and has sole discretion to
renew the related distribution agreement on the condition that it satisfies
certain criteria. Please also refer to "Item 13. Financial Statements" and Notes
to the Audited Financial Statements.


o    Risk Factors Associated With The Company's Business


     Risks Associated Changing and Expanding Business.

     The Company has experienced substantial changes in and expansion of the
Company's business and operations since it commenced operations, and expects to
continue to experience periods of change. The Company's past changes have
placed, and any future changes would place, significant demands on the Company's
administrative, operational, financial and other resources. The Company expects
operating expenses and staffing levels to increase in the future. In particular,
the Company intends to hire a number of additional skilled personnel, including
persons with experience in both the computer and film industries. Competition
for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to attract, assimilate or retain additional highly qualified senior
managers and technical and production personnel in the future. The Company also
expects to expend resources with respect to future expansion of its technology,
accounting and internal management systems. This expansion will continue to
challenge the Company's ability to hire, train, motivate and manage its
personnel. If the Company's revenues do not increase in proportion to the
Company's operating expenses, the Company's management systems do not expand to
meet increasing demands, the Company fail to attract, assimilate and retain
qualified personnel, or the Company's management otherwise fails to manage the
Company's expansion effectively, there would be a material adverse


                                       15

<PAGE>

effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. The
implementation of the Company's strategy for rapid growth in the use of the
Company's services may strain its ability to adequately expand technologically.
In addition, the Company relies on a number of third parties to process the
Company's transactions, including on-line and Internet service providers, all of
which will need to expand the scope of the operations they perform for the
Company. Any backlog or inability to use the Company's services caused by a
third party's inability to meet the Company's needs could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results.

     Risk of Error and of Systems Failure.


     The Company's business is subject to various risks associated with systems
errors and malfunctions and employee errors. Heavy stress placed on the systems
during peak "breakdown" times could cause the Company's systems to operate at
unacceptably low speeds or systems could fail altogether.


     The Company has experienced incidents of system failure in the past and
there can be no assurances that such incidents will not reoccur in the future.
If such system failure, or if access to the internet is disputed, it may
preclude the Company from conducting normal operation for an undetermined period
of time. The Company may also experience losses in connection with employee
errors. Although expenses incurred by the Company in connection with employee
errors have not been significant in the past, there can be no assurance that
these expenses will not increase in the future.

     Significant Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results.


     The Company expects to experience significant fluctuations in future
quarterly operating results that may be caused by many factors, including the
following: the timing of introductions or enhancements of services and products
by the Company or the Company's competitors; changes in pricing policies by the
Company or the Company's competitors; changes in strategy; the success of or
costs associated with acquisitions or other strategic relationships; changes in
key personnel; seasonal trends; changes in the level of operating expenses to
support projected growth; and general economic conditions. In addition, the
Company has experienced fluctuations in the average number of customer
transactions per day and expects that its rate of growth in customer
transactions at any given time is not necessarily indicative of future
transaction activity.


     Due to the foregoing factors, quarterly revenues and operating results are
difficult to forecast, and the Company believes that period-to-period
comparisons of its operating results will not necessarily be meaningful and
should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance. It is likely
that the Company's future quarterly operating results from time to time will not
meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which may have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock.


     Competition.

     The Company's management is not aware of any other company in Canada that
has the same type of database and/or service to film and television
professionals as it is currently providing. There are several small companies
who offer various television and film services but they are without a direct
response element and accordingly do not, in the Company's view, present a
competitive risk to the Company's operations


     There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures
faced by the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and operating results.

                                       16

<PAGE>

     Early Stage of Market Development; Dependence on the Internet.


     As is typical for new and rapidly evolving industries, demand and market
acceptance for recently introduced services and products are subject to a high
level of uncertainty. The Internet may not prove to be a viable commercial
marketplace because of inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure,
such as a reliable network backbone, or timely development of complementary
services and products, such as high speed modems and high speed
communication-lines. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue
to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of traffic.
There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be
able to support the demands placed on it by this continued growth. In addition,
the Internet could lose its viability due to delays in the development or
adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased levels of Internet
activity or due to increased governmental regulation. Moreover, critical issues
concerning the commercial use of the Internet (including security, reliability,
cost, ease of use, accessibility and quality of service) remain unresolved and
may negatively affect the growth of Internet use or the attractiveness of
commerce and communication on the Internet. Because global commerce and on-line
exchange of information on the Internet and other similar open wide area
networks are new and evolving, there can be no assurance that the Internet will
prove to be a viable commercial marketplace. If critical issues concerning the
commercial use of the Internet are not favorably resolved, if the necessary
infrastructure is not developed, or if the Internet does not become a viable
commercial marketplace, the Company's retail business, financial condition and
operating results will be materially adversely affected. Adoption of on-line
commerce, particularly by those individuals that have historically relied upon
traditional means of commerce, will require a broad acceptance by such
individuals of new and substantially different methods of conducting business.

     Technical Changes.

     The information and financial services and communications industries are
characterized by rapid technological change, changes in customer requirements,
frequent new service and product introductions and enhancements, and emerging
industry standards. The introduction of services or products embodying new
technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices can
render existing services or products obsolete and unmarketable. The Company's
future success shall depend, in part, on its ability to develop leading
technologies, enhance its existing services and products, develop new services
and products that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of its
prospective customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging
industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The
development of new services and products or enhanced versions of existing
services and products entails significant technical risks. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in effectively using new
technologies, adapting its services and products to emerging industry standards,
developing, introducing and marketing service and product enhancements, or new
services and products, or that it will not experience difficulties that could
delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of these
services and products, or that its new service and product enhancements will
adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market
acceptance. If the Company is unable to develop and introduce new services and
products or enhancements of existing services and products in a timely manner in
response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if new
services and products do not achieve market acceptance, the Company's business,
financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

     Proprietary Rights and Risk of Infringement.

     The Company's success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant
degree on its proprietary technology and on the proprietary technology licensed
by it. The Company relies primarily


                                       17

<PAGE>

on copyright, trade secret and trade-mark law to protect its technology and the
technology licensed by it from third parties. Notwithstanding the precautions
taken by the Company, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise
obtain and use the Company's software or other proprietary information without
authorization or to develop similar software independently. Policing
unauthorized use of the Company's technology is difficult, particularly because
the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate
destination or security of software or other data transmitted.

     The laws of other countries may afford the Company little or no effective
protection of its intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by the Company will prevent misappropriation of its technology or
that agreements entered into for that purpose would be enforceable. In addition,
litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce the Company's intellectual
property rights, to protect the Company's trade secrets, to determine the
validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or to defend against
claims of infringement or invalidity. Such litigation, whether successful or
unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources,
either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and operating results.


     The Company may in the future receive notices of claims of infringement of
other parties' proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that claims for
infringement or invalidity (or claims for indemnification resulting from
infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against the Company. Any
such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in
costly litigation, divert the Company's management's attention and resources or
require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. There can be
no assurance that such licenses would be available on reasonable terms, if at
all, and the assertion or prosecution of any such claims could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and operating
results.

     Future Capital Needs; Uncertainty of Additional Financing.

     The Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources and
credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working
capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
However, the Company may need to raise additional funds in order to support more
rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services and products, respond to
competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take
advantage of unanticipated opportunities. The Company's future liquidity and
capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and
timing of expansion of research and development efforts and the success of such
efforts, the success of the Company's existing and new service offerings and
competing technological and market developments.

     The Company may be required to raise additional funds through public or
private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be
no assurance that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms
attractive to the Company, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity
financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may
involve restrictive covenants. If additional funds are raised through the
issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of the Company's
shareholders will be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution in
net book value per share, or such equity securities may have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to those of the holders of the Common Stock. If adequate
funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to
develop or enhance its services and products, take advantage of future
opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
operating results.

     Risks Associated with Acquisitions and Strategic Relationships.


     The Company may make acquisitions of other companies or technologies in the
future, or may enter into strategic relationships, and the Company regularly
evaluate such opportunities. Acquisitions and the implementation of strategic
relationships entail numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation
of acquired operations and products, diversion of management's attention from
other business concerns, amortization of acquired intangible assets and
potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. No assurance can be given
that the Company will be able to integrate successfully any operations,
personnel, services or products that might be acquired in the future, and the
Company's failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on business,
financial condition and operating results.

     The Company has established a number of relationships with on-line and
Internet service providers and software, information and financial service
providers. The Company will continue to seek out similar strategic opportunities
in the future. Examples of the Company's strategic relationships include its
relationships with Columbus. There can be no assurance that any such
relationships will be maintained, that if such relationships are maintained,
they will be successful or profitable, or that the Company will develop any new
such relationships. Further, the Company's success in any of its strategic
relationships is dependent on the reputation of its strategic partners. Should
any of the Company's strategic partners experience damage to their reputation,
the Company may be materially adversely affected.


     Limited Operating History. The Company has not achieved profitability and
there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve profitability in
the future. The Company has never paid a dividend on the Company's Class A
Common Stock and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

     Potential Future 144 Sales.


     Of the 106,000,000 authorized shares of the Class A Common Stock, there are
presently issued and outstanding (or reserved for issuance) 14,153,906 shares;
all of which, except for 5,714,284 shares, are "restricted securities" as that
term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and in
the future may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Act, pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Act, or other applicable exemptions from
registration thereunder. In addition, the Company has an obligation to issue
1,000,000 Warrants (permitting the holder to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $.50 per share) which may be due to ACC Axis, an
outside consulting firm.

     The Company is presently assessing its arrangement with Axis.

     Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person holding restricted securities
for a period of one year may sell those securities in unsolicited brokerage
transactions or in transactions with a market maker, in an amount equal to one
percent of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock every three months.
Additionally, Rule 144 requires that an issuer of securities make available
adequate current public information with respect to the issuer. Such information
is deemed available if the issuer satisfies the reporting requirements of
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and of Rule 15c2-11 thereunder. Rule
144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares by a person
who is not an affiliate of the Company and who has satisfied a two year holding
period without any quantity limitation and whether or not there is adequate
current public information available. Investors should be aware that sales under
Rule 144, or pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act, may have
a depressive effect on the market price of the Company's Class A Common Stock in
any market that may develop for such shares.

     Limited Market For the Company's Class A Common Stock.


     There is only a limited trading market for the Company's Class A Common
Stock on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
over-the-counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"), which may limit the marketability
and liquidity of the shares of the Class A Common Stock. Please also refer to
"Item 9. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters."


     Penny Stock Rules.


     Under Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, a broker or dealer may not sell a
"penny stock" to, or effect the purchase of a penny stock by, any person unless:


     (a)  such sale or purchase is exempt from Rule 15g-9;


     (b)  prior to the transaction the broker or dealer has (1) approved the
          person's account for transactions in penny stocks in accordance with
          Rule 15g-9, and (2) received from the person a written agreement to
          the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny
          stock to be purchased; and


     (c)  the purchaser has been provided an propitiate disclosure statement as
          to penny stock investment.

     The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has
adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity
security other than a security excluded from such definition by Rule 3a51-1.
Such exemptions include, but are not limited to (1) an equity security issued by
an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such
issuer has been in continuous operations for at least three years, (ii) net
tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous
operation for less than three years, or (iii) average revenue of at least
$6,000,000 for the preceding three years; (2) except for purposes of Section
7(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 419, any security that has a price of $5.00 or
more; and (3) a security that is authorized or approved for authorization upon
notice of issuance for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.'s Automated
Quotation System.

     Currently shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock will be subject to
the regulations on penny stocks; consequently, the market liquidity for the
Company's Class A Common Stock may be adversely affected by such regulations
limiting the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company's Class A Common
Stock and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary
market.

     Moreover, the Company's shares may only be sold or transferred by its
stockholders in those jurisdictions in which an exemption for such "secondary
trading" exists or in which the shares may have been registered.

     Adequate Labor and Dependence Upon Key Personnel; No Employment Agreements.


     The Company will depend upon recruiting and maintaining qualified personnel
to staff the Company's operations. The Company believes that such personnel are
currently available at reasonable salaries and wages. There can be no assurance,
however, that such personnel will always be available in the future. Loss of the
services of any of this management team and key employees could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company does not have any
employment agreements with any of the Company's officers and/or employees.
Please also refer to "Item 5. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and
Control Persons."

     Conflicts of Interest.


     From time to time certain of the Company's directors and executive officers
may serve as directors or executive officers of other companies and, to the
extent that such other companies may participate in the industries in which the
Company may participate, such directors and officers may have a conflict of
interest. In addition, the Company's dependence on directors and officers who
devote time to other business interests may create conflicts of interest, i.e.
that the fiduciary obligations of an individual to the other company conflict
with the individual fiduciary obligations of the Company and visa versa.
Directors and officers must exercise their judgment to resolve all conflicts of
interest in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company. In
the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors
of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for
or against the approval of such a participation or such terms. In appropriate
cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors
to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a
conflict. The Company is not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest
as described herein.


     Control by Management.


     The Company's current officers and directors, as a group, beneficially own
4,323,292 or 31% of the then issued and outstanding common stock; and,
accordingly may be able to exercise effective control over the Company's
operations, including but not limited to, the election of directors.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


     The following discussion and analysis of the Company's and OnLine's
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere.

                                    Overview


     Prior to its acquisition of OnLine, the Company was virtually inactive and
had no revenues from operations. Please also refer to "Item 1. Description of
Business--Corporate Organization." Accordingly, the following discussion focuses
on the development of OnLine's business since its formation in 1995.

     From inception through OnLine's fiscal year ended August 31, 1998 (Fiscal
1998) OnLine's primary focus was the development of software solutions,
specifically the Casting Workbook, Locations, Productions and the Mailcard for
the film and television industry. See "Item 1. Description of Business-The
Company's Business." During this period, OnLine actively tested, redesigned and
refined its product lines, in smaller more controlled market environments, to
better suit industry requirements. The development of its business was financed,
in part, through the sale of certain rights to some "fields of use" of the
Mailcard and Casting Workbook software it has developed.



     OnLine's marketing and sales efforts to present have been toward a very
selected and narrow focus. The objective was, and continues to be, to secure the
majority of key professionals using the Casting Workbook on a daily basis for
television, commercial and feature film projects. When most of these
professionals use the Casting Workbook to cast roles it is anticipated that
performers will seek to avail themselves of OnLine's products and services.
OnLine is well under way to accomplishing its goal. In the month of May, 1999
more than 850 roles were cast through the Casting Workbook system.

                                       21

<PAGE>


     OnLine now has approximately 12,000 entertainers using some or all of its
available Casting Workbook Products which has resulted in revenues of
approximately $209,000 through August 31, 1999. These entertainers are situated
primarily in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada.

     OnLine is now poised to expand its plan of operations to encompass a larger
and more concentrated performer market in Los Angeles. The Company estimates
that performer market in the United States is estimated to be in excess of
3,000,000 individuals with the performer market in the city of Los Angeles being
greater than that of the entire number of performers in the rest of the
continental United States. In May of 1999 the Company commenced its marketing
efforts in the United States by hosting a product demonstration and reception
for casting directors and agents on the 20th Century Fox Studios production lot.


     OnLine is currently expanding operations in Los Angeles to support this
market. The staff that is currently being implemented in Los Angeles consists
of: a manager to oversee the development of the Los Angeles actor and modeling
database; reception, technical support for casting director turnkey equipment
installation and set up of agency accounts as well as second level support to
the sales team, a sales team capable of doing database seminars, and ongoing
first-line technical support and writers/scanners for handling script breakdowns
as well as incidental photo scans.

Results of Operations


August 31, 1999 Compared to August 31, 1998

     In the year ended August 31, 1999 revenues from operations decreased to
$958,000 from $1,201,000 from the year ended August 31, 1998. The decreased
revenue of $243,00 was due primarily to the one time sale in 1998 of the
Mailcard territory, offset by an increase in revenues from the Casting Workbook
in 1999. Other income increased from $238,000 to $388,000 due to an increase in
interest income of $150,000. However, the Company experienced a net loss of
$328,000 as compared to a net loss of $118,000 for the comparable period. This
was due to increased direct costs of $161,000 from $759,000 to $920,000, due in
part to the exclusivity payment of $203,000 for the Casting Workbook Agreement
which was effective toward the end of 1998, increases in direct subcontract and
selling expenses offset by a decrease of $227,000 in development costs.
Increased and administrative expenses of $41,000 from $796,000 to $755,000 was
due to a decrease in management fees of $270,000 offset by increases in other
general and administrative expenses of $229,000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


     The Company's principal capital requirements are expected to be (a)
software development costs and purchase of computer hardware, (b) maintain and
improve our web servers and (c) provide continued customer support. To date,
funding has been provided through equity financing, sale of certain of its
software territories, and operations.

     At the end of the prior fiscal year, the Company purchased software for use
in the production of commercials. The purchase price of the software was
$3,950,000. The payment of the purchase price consists of two payments of
$100,000 (paid), the issuance of 250,000 common shares at a value of $1 per
share (issued) and the issuance of a note payable of $3,500,000. In the current
year, the Company expended an additional $8,000 relating to this software
purchase. The agreement is with Columbus Software Inc. The note payable is due
only if the Company achieves specified sales objectives on or before August 31,
2008.

     Due to the contingent nature of the note payable, Management has decided
that amortizing the cost of the software prior to any recognition of revenue
could result in a future material misstatement of


                                       22

<PAGE>


the financial statements. Therefore no amortization is being recorded against
this software at this time.

     At August 31, 1999 the company had liquid assets of $578,000. Cash flow
from the Casting Workbook is expected to increase with the launch of the US
version in October, 1999.

Operating Plan

     In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending August 31, 2000, the Company
plans to continue its recruiting drive for casting directors and talent agents.
As part of this drive, the Company will furnish computer hardware and software
to key casting directors in the Los Angeles market. The Company will install
additional servers in the Los Angeles office to support the launch of the
Casting Workbook in late October. In addition, the Company is planning to expand
its marketing efforts in Los Angeles to include trade shows, seminars and print
advertising. The Company will also launch its model and talent scout databases
in the Los Angeles area from which the Company anticipates further revenues.
Consequently, staffing the Los Angeles office will be a major priority in the
first quarter, with an emphasis on sales and marketing personnel.

     Also in the first quarter the Company plans to complete its development and
release of the MasterCaster software for casting directors, finalize its
e-commerce development for automated registration and payment for its customers,
and finalize casting notices for non-represented actors.

     Towards the end of the first quarter the Company intends to begin closing
sales of its Production Workbook to commercial producers.

     Efforts in the second quarter will focus on continued growth of the Casting
Workbook database, as well as the Model and Talent Scout databases in the Los
Angeles area. The Company believes that the integration of the Master Caster
software with the Casting Workbook will solidify wide casting director
acceptance in Los Angeles.

     The third and fourth quarters will be focused on marketing its databases to
actors and agents, and promoting its additional revenue sources on the Casting
Workbook and Model database such as audio and video clips. It also intends to
actively search for a US Distribution partner, and expand its marketing efforts
to universities, acting schools, and performers in live theater. In addition,
the company anticipates adding a production crew and staff database, and
integrate its Talent Agent software into the Casting Workbook.

     During the year, the Company intends to break into the New York market
initially by distributing breakdowns via fax even if it does not establish an
office facility there. The Company also plan to focus on promoting electronic
video reels to actors and models.

Financial Plan

     The Company anticipates expenditures for the fiscal year ending August 31,
2000 to be:
            General and Administrative                    $909,000
            Computer Hardware                              132,400
            Computer Software/Development                  108,700
            Marketing and Promotion                        550,000

     General and Administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses
for executive, accounting, and administrative personnel, professional fees, and
other general corporate expenses. General and Administrative expenses for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1999 were $755,000. These


                                       23

<PAGE>


expenses are expected to continue to increase as we expand our staff and support
functions to support the anticipated growth of the Company.

     The Company is anticipating an increase in marketing and promotional costs
as it grows, and to maintain and expand its recognition in the marketplace.
These costs are expected to increase over the year to approximately 10% of
revenues.

     The Company anticipates revenue growth in the next 12 months to come from
the US Casting Workbook in Los Angeles, and revenues from the sales of the
commercial suite software.

     Long Term Investments

     Long term investments consists of British Columbia Savings Bonds in a
principal amount of $2,878,800 with, accrued interest of $38,800 unpaid at the
balance sheet date. These bonds earn interest at 6% per annum paid semi-annually
and are locked in to June 9, 2008. These bonds serve as registered collateral on
the Mailcard contingent sales agreement dated September 17, 1997. The amount of
the collateral claim registered against these bonds is $2,878,800 which is
locked in until June 9, 2008. Also included in long term investments is the
amount of $2,491,600 of which $2,475,600 serves as registered collateral
relating to the Casting Workbook software contingent sales agreement dated
December 31, 1997, with the principal to be locked in until December 31, 2007.
From the agreement date to the balance sheet date, these funds have been placed
in seven day CIBC GIC's earning interest revenue at variable rates through the
period. Also included in long term investments is the amount of $2,931,000 of
which $2,912,300 serves as registered collateral relating to the Casting
Workbook software contingent sales agreement dated December 31, 1998, with the
principal to be locked in until December 31, 2008. From the agreement date to
the balance sheet date, these funds have been placed in seven day CIBC GIC's
earning interest revenue at variable rates through the period.

o    Financing Planned Expansion

     Although the Company raised $999,999 in April, 1999 through a private
placement of 5,714,284 shares, there is no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain additional financing as, if and when required. The company's
plans to expand the Los Angeles office and open an office in New York are
underway. If the company cannot meet its expansion needs through operations
and/or other financing methods, the Los Angeles expansion and any new area
expansion will be placed on hold until such time as the financing is available.
The company is launching its US Casting Workbook from Los Angeles on October 25,
1999. The results of the US Casting Workbook will determine the company's
expansion schedule.

Year 2000 Issues

     The Year 2000 issue results from computer systems using two digits rather
than four to represent the year so that a date using "00" is recognized as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This situation may disrupt the smooth
operation of both the Company and third party's computer systems.

The Company's State of Readiness

     In order to reach the Company's internal Year 2000 readiness it is
proceeding through four phases. First it evaluated its IT computer systems and
non-IT systems for Year 2000 compliance. IT computer systems and non-IT systems
have been purchased in the last few years and most have been designed and built
with Year 2000 compliance in mind. As a result, a minimal number of computer


                                       24

<PAGE>


systems required software patches to third party software. The Company did not
discover any non-compliance in its non-IT systems and has not had to replace any
to date.

     In the second phase the Company planned fixes in the form of software
patches created and tested by he third party software vendors. It then applied
the patches on test computer systems and evaluate their results. Year 2000
compliance software will be used to further verify the reliability of the
computer systems. The Company is scheduled to complete this phase by November
15, 1999.

     In the third phase the Company will implement these patches on secondary
computer systems, test the results and then implement the third party software
patches as necessary to the primary computer systems and test those results.
This phase is scheduled for completion by November 30, 1999.

     In the fourth phase the Company will finalize its Year 2000 contingency
plans. To date, initial contingency plans have been created. These are currently
being evaluated and are scheduled for final approval on November 8th 1999.

     Most of the Company's key systems are built with redundancy to ensure that
its material services are supported by multiple vendors. Any material disruption
by one vendor will be automatically backed up by another vendor's services,
minimizing the Company's dependency on any one vendor. The Company has canvassed
its vendors to determine their year 2000 compliance. To date, the Company has
not identified any significant risks or material disruptions.

     As the Company has assisted many of its clients with the recent
computerization of their businesses, their systems are also new and largely Year
2000 compliant with minimal legacy computer systems. Once the Company completes
its internal Year 2000 compliance the Company plans to assist its clients in
achieving their own Year 2000 compliance. In November, 1999, the Company will
provide its clients documentation to assist them with identifying any Year 2000
issues they may have and providing addresses of support material and third party
software patches.

The cost to the Company

     The Company does not separately track the internal costs incurred for the
Year 2000 project, and these costs are principally the related payroll costs for
its information systems group. As its software has been developed recently, it
was originally developed with the Year 2000 issue in mind and thus has required
no modifications. The risks associated with updating the Company's system to
Year 2000 compliance are minimal. The normal redundancy of the Company's
internal staff computer systems ensures that any issues arising from the
staggered Year 2000 upgrades to the Company's staff computer systems can be
solved without resulting in loss of operations.

     The Company's non-IT systems, equipment with embedded chips, have been
purchased in the last few years. The Company has not had to replace any non-IT
systems.

The risks to the Company's Year 2000 Issues

     The most likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios that the Company expects to
face include unexpected disruptions to our internal computer systems or to those
of our vendors. These could cause material disruptions of the Company's
operations.

     Other possible worst case Year 2000 scenarios include unexpected material
disruptions from one or more of the Company's clients. If a computer system or
fax machine of one of our clients fails to operate they could experience
difficulty accessing the Company's computer systems or faxing material to us.
Short term disruptions of this nature would not have a significant effect on the


                                       25

<PAGE>


Company's operations.

The Company's contingency plans

     The Company's contingency plan to handle unexpected disruptions to its
computer systems or those of its vendor(s) is three fold.

     Firstly, the Company has previously designed redundancy into our computer
systems and our key systems are supported by multiple vendors. If a given system
experiences and unexpected disruption many systems will automatically fall over
to back up systems.

     Secondly, IT staff will be on the job to ensure the success of the final
data backups on 1999. On January 1st, 2000, IT staff will evaluate all systems
for any disruptions, and manually switch any necessary system to a backup system
and contact vendors as required to determine estimated repair times in the event
of any system failure(s). As the casting industry does not work until the first
week of January, most of the Company's clients will not be accessing its systems
during the first few days of January, 2000. This should give the Company enough
time to deal with any other problems.

     Lastly, with trained staff in offices in Los Angeles, Vancouver and
Toronto, the Company will be able to shift workloads from one office to another
as necessary to assist with correcting any disruptions in any other Online
office.

     The Company is also taking a proactive approach to handling possible
disruptions to its clients operations. In November 1999 it will be providing
information and assistance to its clients to evaluate their Year 2000 readiness
and assist them in accomplishing their Year 2000 compliance. The Company will
also be dedicating technical and client support staff to assist its clients in
January 2000 with any disruptions they may encounter.


     The Company intends to monitor the progress of its vendors, customers or
others with whom it transacts business, including financial institutions, in
becoming Year 2000 compliant. The Company has not formulated a contingency plan
to deal with the potential non-compliance of vendors, customers and others with
whom it transacts business, including financial institutions, but will be
considering whether such a plan would be feasible.

Shares, when issued, were fully paid for and nonassessable. Each holder of Class
A Common Stock and Class B Shares is entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted for action by the stockholders. All shares of voting stock are
equal to each other with respect to the election of directors and cumulative
voting is not permitted; therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding voting stock can, if they choose to do so, elect all of the
directors. The terms of the directors are not staggered. Directors are elected
annually to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their
successor is elected and qualified. There are no preemptive rights to purchase
any additional Class A Common Stock or other securities of the Company. The
owners of a majority of the voting stock may also take any action without prior
notice of or meeting which a majority of shareholders could have taken at a
regularly called shareholders meeting, giving notice to all shareholders
thereafter of the action taken. In the event of liquidation or dissolution,
holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive, pro rata, the assets
remaining, after creditors, and holders of any class of stock having liquidation
rights senior to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, have been paid in
full.

     Class B Shares. Certain shareholders (the "Canadian Preference Holders") of
Online, did not convert their Common shares to Class A Common Stock, but rather
converted to Preferred Equity Shares of Online subsidiary. Class B Shares have
been issued to those shareholders, share for share so that Canadian Preferred
Holders might vote as the Company's shareholders. These shares of Class B Stock
have no equity or liquidation rights, other than voting rights, but upon
liquidation of the Company, these Class B Shares may enjoy preference with
respect to the assets of Online. The Class B Shares are the voting equivalent of
Preferred Equity Shares of OnLine. While no plan for conversion exists, the
Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Common Stock, at any time the
Canadian Preferred Holders might elect, and the Board of Directors may allow,
subject to the cancellation of the corresponding Preferred Equity Shares.

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Except as hereinafter set forth there is no charter provision, bylaw,
contract, arrangement or statute under which any officer or director of the
Company is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he
may incur in his capacity as such.


     The Company's By-laws provides that that Company shall indemnify any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any person serving in
any such capacity of any other entity or enterprise at the request of the
Company, against any and all legal expenses (including attorney's fees),


                                       36

<PAGE>


claims and/or liabilities arising out of any action, suit or proceeding, except
an action by or in the right of the Company.

     Expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid
by the Company in advance of the final disposition, when authorized by the Board
of Directors.

     The Company does not have nor does it anticipate obtaining any directors'
and officers' liability insurance.

     Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits the indemnification
of directors and officers of a corporation against certain liabilities, which
would include liabilities arising under the Securities Act.


The Securities and Exchange Commission's Policy on Indemnification


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to any of the Company's directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to any provisions contained in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, or by-laws, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officers or controlling
persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                          ----------------------------



Board of Directors and Stockholders
OnLine Production Services, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of OnLine Production Services,
Inc. as of August 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The financial statements of OnLine Film Services, Inc., (the
operating subsidiary of Online Production Services, Inc.) as of August 31, 1998,
were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 15, 1999, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1999 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of OnLine Production Services,
Inc. as of August 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Auditors Comments:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements for August 31, 1999 of
OnLine Production Services, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiary
OnLine film Services, Inc. as of the same date. OnLine Production Services, Inc,
in fiscal year 1999 completed a reorganization and reverse merger. At the time
of the merger, neither OnLine Production Services, Inc., nor its predecessor
Earth Industries, Inc. had any financial activity. With the exception of the
stock of Earth Industries, which had a book value of $0 at the time of the
merger, the only entity with activity was OnLine Film Services, Inc., which
became the operating subsidiary company as a result of the merger. Therefore,
our consolidated financial statements of OnLine Production Services, Inc. and
the corresponding audited financial statements of OnLine film Services, Inc.,
for the year ending August 31, 1998 are presented as comparable.

                        OnLine Production Services, Inc.
                 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 August 31, 1999


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Foreign currency translation

All balances relating to On-Line Film Services Inc. (Canadian subsidiary) have
been converted to United States dollars using the current rate method of
currency conversion. The use of this method resulted in a cumulative translation
adjustment gain of $309,000 at the current balance sheet date and $10,000 loss
at the prior year balance sheet date.

(b)  Investments

Investments are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value at the
balance sheet date. These investments are strictly interest bearing deposits in
the form of savings bonds and guaranteed interest certificates at the current
and prior balance sheet dates. (Note 6) Subsidiaries are consolidated in these
financial statements (Note 2).

(c)  Deferred Corporate Taxes

Deferred corporate taxes arise due to temporary timing differences arising from
depreciation rates used for financial statement purposes and the depreciation
rates prescribed for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are divided into a
current portion, which is expected to be utilized within one fiscal year and a
non-current portion, which is expected to be utilized in a future period in
excess of one fiscal year. (See note 7)

(d)  Revenue Recognition Policy

Sales (excludes Mailcard and Casting Software rights) revenue is recognized when
realized. Realization occurs when the earning process is complete, or virtually
complete and revenue is evidenced by the existence of an exchange transaction
which provides significant certainty as to the ultimate collectibility of the
revenue amount. This policy applies to all subscription and general revenue but
does not apply to the realization of Mailcard and Casting Software rights sales.

Mailcard and Casting Software rights revenue is recognized on the collection
method. The ultimate collection of agreed amounts relating to the mailcard and
casting software rights is contingent on future sales of the software by the
company. This contingency creates a significant degree of uncertainty
surrounding the ultimate collection of this contingent revenue, which is based
on the service of selling the software over a ten year period. As such, revenue
is only recognized at such time as the funds are collected. (See note 11 )

(e)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits with banks or
other high credit quality financial institutions and other highly liquid
investments which are readily convertible into cash. Due to the short term
nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.

                                 August 31, 1999


(f)  Accounting impairment for long lived assets

The company considers impairment of value to occur when the book value of fixed
assets is determined not to be recoverable. If this happens, the company has a
policy of reducing the carrying value of the long lived asset to the recoverable
amount and recording this reduction loss amount on the income statement in the
year in which the write down has occurred. There has been no impairment of any
long lived assets in the current or prior year.

5.   SOFTWARE

At the end of the prior fiscal year, the company  purchased  software for use in
the  production  of  commercials.   The  purchase  price  of  the  software  was
$3,950,000.  The  payment of the  purchase  price  consists  of two  payments of
$100,000  (paid),  the  issuance of 250,000  common  shares at a value of $1 per
share (issued) and the issuance of a note payable of $ 3,500,000. In the current
year,  the  company  expended an  additional  $8,000  relating to this  software
purchase.  The agreement is with Columbus  Software Inc. The note payable is due
only if the company achieves  specified sales objectives on or before August 31,
2008.

Due to the contingent nature of the note payable, management has decided that
amortizing the cost of the software prior to any recognition of revenue could
result in a future material misstatement of the financial statements. Therefore
no amortization is being recorded against this software at this time.

was used to fund the minimum required Mailcard software purchase guarantee for
the year. (See note 14).

Also included in long term investments is the guaranteed interest savings amount
of $5,422,700 held at the Canadian Imperial bank of Commerce, of which
$5,387,900 serves as registered collateral relating to the Casting Workbook

1998, with the principal to be locked in until December 31, 2007 and 2008
respectively . From the agreement date to the balance sheet date, these funds
have been placed in seven day CIBC GICs earning interest revenue at variable

interest relating to the GIC investments. For the current fiscal year, all
interest earned on these investments have been used to fund the Casting Workbook
exclusivity payments of $203,000 for the current year (See note 14).

The above investments are considered to be held to maturity debt investments
where the principal will be fully recovered when the investments come due.

11.  CONTINGENT REVENUE

(a) In the 1998 fiscal year, the company entered into a contingent sale
agreement for the sale of Mailcard software rights. The company received and
realized $523,000 in revenue as well as $2,878,000 in funds which are secured by
the purchasing party as collateral against the purchasers portion of the
projected minimum sales guaranteed by the company over a ten year period (See
note 6). If and when the 3.2 million minimum sales units over the ten year
period is met by the company, it shall receive the collateral funds as income at
a rate of approx. 97% of the gross sales amount for the units sold in excess of
3.2 million units. Once all of the collateral funds have been released and
realized as income by the company, it will earn 100% of the Mailcard sales
revenue less a perpetual fee of 3% - 5% of gross revenue (depending on unit sale
price) to the software rights purchasers. In the event that the projected
minimum sales over the ten year period is not met, the company must make up this
shortfall from the collateral funds and/or revenue generated by the $2,878,000
held as collateral.

The amount of future revenue relating to this contingency agreement is not
determinable until its ten year expiration date or until such time as the
minimum required sales level is met. As a result, revenue is realized on the
collection method, whereby deferred revenue is realized as income when funds are
released from collateral. At the balance sheet date, the cumulative minimum
sales has not yet been obtained, resulting in $2,878,000 included in unrealized
contingent revenue relating to this agreement on the balance sheet.

The collateral funds are registered and are not accessible by the company until
such time as these funds (or portion thereof) are released by the secured
parties. The term ending date is December 28, 2007. The contingent (deferred)
revenue amount above is secured by a claim against the ten year BC Savings bonds
held by the company (See note 6).

                                 August 31, 1999


(b) In the 1998 fiscal year, the company also entered into a contingent sale
agreement for the Casting Workbook software territories rights. The company
received and realized $587,000 in revenue as well as $2,476,000 in funds which
are secured by the purchasing party as collateral against the purchasers portion
of minimum projected revenue of approximately $5.895 million provided by the
company over a ten year period (See note 6). If and when the minimum casting
revenue over the ten year period is met by the company, it shall receive the
collateral funds as income at a rate of approx. 97% of the gross revenue amount
for aggregate revenue generated in excess of the approx. $5.895 million. Once
all of the collateral funds have been released and realized as income by the
Company, the Company shall earn 100% of the Casting software sales revenue less
a perpetual fee of 3% to 5% of gross revenue (depending on sales price) to the
software rights purchasers. In the event that the projected minimum revenue over
the ten year period is not met, the company must make up purchasers portion of
these shortfall from the collateral funds held as contingent revenue.

The amount of future revenue relating to this contingency agreement is not
determinable until its ten year expiration date or until such time as the
minimum required revenue level is met. As a result, revenue is realized on the
collection method, whereby deferred revenue is realized as income when funds are
released from collateral. At the balance sheet date, the cumulative minimum has
not yet been obtained, resulting in $2,476,000 included in unrealized contingent
revenue relating to this agreement at the balance sheet date.

The collateral funds are registered and are not able to be used by the company
until such time as these funds (or portion thereof) are released by the secured
parties. The term ending date is December 31, 2007. These collateral funds are
in the form of CIBC weekly GICs (See note 6)

(c) In the current fiscal year, the company also entered into a contingent sale
agreement for additional Casting Workbook software territories rights. The
company received and realized $655,000 in revenue as well as $2,912,000 in funds
which are secured by the purchasing party as collateral against the purchaser's
portion of the minimum projected revenue amount of approximately $6.9 million
provided by the company over a ten year period (See note 6). If and when the
minimum casting revenue over the ten year period is met by the company, it shall
receive the collateral funds as income at a rate of approx. 97% of the gross
revenue amount for aggregate revenue generated in excess of the approx. $6.9
million. Once all of the collateral funds have been released and realized as
income by the Company, the Company shall earn 100% of the Casting software sales
revenue less a perpetual fee of 3% to 5% of gross revenue (depending on sales
price) to the software rights purchasers. In the event that the projected
minimum revenue over the ten year period is not met, the company must make up
the purchaser's portion of the shortfall from the collateral funds from the
collateral funds held as contingent revenue.

The amount of future revenue relating to this contingency agreement is not
determinable until its ten year expiration date or until such time as the
minimum required revenue level is met. As a result, revenue is realized on the
collection method, whereby deferred revenue is realized as income when funds are
released from collateral. At the balance sheet date, the cumulative minimum has
not yet been obtained, resulting in $2,912,000 included in unrealized contingent
revenue relating to this agreement at the balance sheet date.

The collateral funds are registered and are not able to be used by the company
until such time as these funds (or portion thereof) are released by the secured
parties. The term ending date is December 31, 2008. These collateral funds are
in the form of CIBC weekly GICs (See note 6)
