 equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the U.S. Holder of Common Share's adjusted tax basis in those shares. Any such gain or loss will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder has held the shares for more than one year. Otherwise the gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss. However, a gain realized on the disposition of Common Shares may be treated as ordinary income if the company was a "collapsible corporation" within the meaning of the Code. The gain or loss will generally be a U.S. source gain or loss.

A collapsible corporation is usually formed to give a short-term venture the appearance of a long-term investment in order to portray income as capital gain rather than profit. Such a corporation is typically formed for the sole purpose of purchasing property and usually dissolved before the property has generated substantial income. The Internal Revenue Service treats the income earned through a collapsible corporation as ordinary income rather than as capital gain.

Dividend Distributions on Shares

Dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) paid by Genoil will be required to be included in the income of a U.S. Holder of Common Shares to the extent of the Corporation's current or accumulated earnings and profits ("E&P") attributable to the distribution without reduction for any Canadian withholding tax withheld from such distributions. Even if such payment is in fact not converted to U.S. dollars, the amount of any cash distribution paid in Canadian dollars will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars on the date of distribution based on the exchange rate on such date. To the extent distributions the Corporation pays on the Common Shares exceed the Corporation's current or accumulated E&P, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to a shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares and then as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares.

Dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received" deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain U.S. corporations. These dividends generally may be subject to backup withholding tax, unless a U.S. Holder of Common Shares furnishes the Corporation with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. The U.S. Holder of Common Shares will be allowed a refund or a credit equal to any amount withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules against the U.S. Holder of Common Share's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the shareholder furnishes the required information to the IRS.
