  Management’s
Responsibility
   To the
Shareholders of Lingo Media Corporation:
   Management
is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant
accountingjudgments and estimates
in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and
ensuring that all information in the Management Discussion & Analysis is
consistent with the statements. This responsibility includes selecting
appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting
the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is
required.
  In
discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the
consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the
necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial
records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the
preparation of financial statements.
  The Board
of Directors and the Audit Committee include some Directors who are neither
management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing
management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and
for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Audit
Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management and external
auditors to discuss -the internal controls over the financial reporting process,
auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Committee is also
responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external
auditors.
  Meyers
Norris Penny LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Accountants, is appointed by
the shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements and report
directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free
access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit Committee
and management to discuss their audit findings.

  To the
Shareholders of Lingo Media Corporation:
   We have
audited the consolidated balance sheet of Lingo Media Corporation as at December
31, 2007, and the consolidated statements of operations, deficit and cash flows
for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
  We
conducted our audit in accordance with the Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). These standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as
a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation.
  In our
opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
  The
consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without
reservation on those consolidated financial statements in their report dated May
4, 2007.

   Comments
by Independent Registered Chartered Accountants on Canada – United States of
America Reporting Differences:
  The
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
require the addition of explanatory paragraphs (following the opinion paragraph)
when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast
substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such
as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the
shareholders dated April 20, 2008 is expressed in accordance with Canadian
reporting standards, which do not require a reference to such conditions and
events in the report of the independent registered chartered accountants when
these are properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial
statements.

  The
Company’s policy is to record an impairment loss in the period when it is
determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable.
  (f) Deferred
costs, investment and advances:
  The
pre-operating costs relating to establishing a joint venture in China are
recorded as deferred costs. Pre-operating costs are capitalized until the
commencement of commercial operations and then amortized on a straight-line
basis, over a maximum of five years. Loans made in trust with a view to
establishing a joint venture are recorded as investment and advances. The
carrying value of these deferred costs and advances are assessed on a periodic
basis to determine if a write-down is required. Any required write-down is
charged to operations in the year such write-down is determined to be
necessary.
  (g) Development
costs:
  The
Company has capitalized costs related to English Language Learning products and
programs. The carrying value is assessed on a periodic basis to determine if a
write-down is required. Any required write-down is charged to operations in the
year such write-down is determined to be necessary. Technology costs and web
development costs included in deferred development costs are capitalized in
accordance with Section 3062 ("goodwill and other intangible assets"), of the
C.I.C.A. Handbook. Development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
a maximum of five years.

accounting policies (continued):
  (h) Software
& web development costs:
  The
Company capitalizes all costs related to the development of its Speak2Me online
service.. The Company regularly reviews the carrying values of its software
& web development costs. The Company evaluates the carrying value of these
assets based on the undiscounted value of expected future cash flows. If the
carrying value exceeds the amount recoverable, a write-down of the asset to its
estimated fair value would be charged to operations in the year such a
write-down is determined to be necessary.
  (i) Goodwill:
  Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired companies over the
estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired. In
accordance with CICA 3062 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not
amortized but is subject to an impairment test annually, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The
impairment test consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the Company’s
reporting units with their fair value, and any excess is recorded as a charge to
net earnings. Fair value of goodwill is determined through discounted cash flow
analysis.
  (j) Government
grants:
  The
Company receives government grants based on certain eligibility criteria for
book publishing industry development in Canada. These government grants are
recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct
costs funded by the grant. The Company records a liability for the repayment of
the grants and a charge to operations in the period in which conditions arise
that will cause the government grants to be repayable.
  (k) Future
income taxes:
  The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried
forward to future years for income tax purposes. Future income tax assets and
liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Future income
tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered
more likely than not.

  (l) Foreign
currency translation:
  Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
Canadian dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance
sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical
rates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars
at the approximate rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign
exchange gains and losses are included in loss or gain for the
year.
  The
Company's integrated foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at
exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates for monetary
items and at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates for non-monetary
items. Revenue and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing during
the year. Exchange gains and losses are included in loss or gain for the
year.
  (m) Use of
estimates:
  The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the years then ended.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
  The
Company has products in various phases of development at any time during the
year. Each product’s economic viability is determined by management, after
appropriate testing has been completed. When a product is deemed viable, its
accumulated development costs are recorded and amortized over the estimated
period of economic viability. The accumulated development costs of any product
not considered to be economically viable are considered unrecoverable and
included in the current year's earnings.
  Accounts
receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectibility and an
appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered
necessary. Provisions are made for slow moving and obsolete inventory.
Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of Property, Plant and
Equipment.
  The
amounts disclosed relating to fair values of stock options issued are based on
management’s estimates of expected stock price volatility, expected lives of the
options, risk-free interest rates and certain other assumptions. By their
nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the effect
on the consolidated financial statements from changes in such estimates in
future years could be significant.

   1. Significant accounting policies
(continued):
  The
calculation of future income tax is based on assumptions, which are subject to
uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when
temporary differences reverse. Future income tax recorded is also subject to
uncertainty regarding the magnitude of non-capital losses available for carry
forward and of the balances in various tax pools as the corporate tax returns
have not been prepared as of the date of financial statement preparation. By
their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the
effect on the consolidated financial statements from changes in such estimates
in future years could be significant.
  (n) Earnings
(loss) per share:
  Earnings
(loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
that are outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares
outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of the incremental
common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury
stock method. Convertible instruments that are anti-dilutive are not included in
the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
  (o) Stock-based
compensation plan:
  The
Company applies the fair value based method of accounting to all stock-based
compensation. The fair value of the options issued in the year is determined
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of the
options is expensed to income over the vesting period. For stock-based
compensation issued to employees and non-employees, the Company recognizes an
expense based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements:
  Financial
instruments
  In
January 2005, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued new
recommendations for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments,
and amendments to the existing presentation and disclosure standards, effective
for interim and annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or
after October 1, 2006. Section 3855 Financial Instruments – Recognition and
Measurement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial
assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. Section 3861
Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation discusses the presentation
and disclosure of these items. The application of hedge accounting is covered in
Section 3865 Hedges. Section 1530 Comprehensive Income establishes standards for
reporting and displaying certain gains and losses, such as unrealized gains and
losses related to hedges or other derivative instruments, outside of net income,
in a statement of comprehensive income. Section 3251 Equity establishes
standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity, including
changes arising from those items recorded in comprehensive income. There have
also been numerous consequential amendments made to other Sections.

 1. Significant accounting policies
(continued):
  In
December 2006, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued Section
3862 Financial Instruments – Disclosures and Section 3863 Financial Instruments
– Presentation to replace Section 3861 Financial Instruments – Disclosure and
Presentation. These new Sections are effective for interim and annual financial
statements with fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007, but may be
adopted in place of Section 3861, before that date.
  General
standards of financial statement presentation
  CICA
Handbook Section 1400 General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation has
been amended to include requirements to assess and disclose an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern. This amendment is effective for interim and
annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of these changes to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
  Inventories
  CICA
Handbook Section 3031 Inventories replaces corresponding Section 3030 and
establishes new standards for the measurement and disclosure of inventories. The
new Section prescribes that inventories should be measured at the lower of cost
and net realizable value and provides guidance on the determination of cost.
This standard is effective for interim and annual financial statements relating
to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Company has not yet
determined the impact of the adoption of this new standard on its consolidated
financial statements.
  2. Changes
in accounting policies:
  On
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new Canadian accounting standards for
financial instruments – recognition and measurement, financial instruments –
disclosure and presentation, hedging and comprehensive income. Prior periods
have not been restated. Additional disclosure requirements for financial
instruments and accounting changes have been approved by the Canadian Institute
of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) and will be required disclosure beginning
January 1, 2008. These new standards have no material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
  (a)
Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement:
  This new
standard requires all financial instruments within its scope, including all
derivatives, to be recognized on the balance sheet initially at fair value.
Subsequent measurement of all financial assets and liabilities except those
classified as held-for-trading or available-for-sale are measured at amortized
cost determined using the effective interest rate method. Held-for-trading
financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in earnings. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and
reclassified to earnings when derecognized or impaired. There were no changes to
the measurement of existing financial assets and liabilities at the date of
adoption.

 2. Changes
in accounting policies (continued):
  Cash and
short term investments are designated as “held-for-trading” and are measured at
carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments. Accounts receivable and investment and advances are
designated as “loans and receivables” and accounts payable, accrued liabilities
and bank loans are designated as “other liabilities”, all of which are measured
at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
these instruments.
  (b) Other
Comprehensive Income:
  The new
standards establish a new statement of comprehensive income, which is comprised
of net earning and other comprehensive income. The Company currently has no
other comprehensive income items and therefore a separate statement of
comprehensive income is not presented.
  Future
Accounting Changes:
  In 2006,
the CICA issued new accounting standards: “Capital Disclosures,” “Financial
Instruments – Disclosures” and “Financial Instruments – Presentation”. These
standards are anticipated to be adopted for the Company’s interim and annual
reporting effective periods commencing January 1, 2008.
  The
capital disclosures standard establishes guidelines for the disclosure of
information concerning the Company’s capital and how it is managed. The standard
requires disclosure of an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for
managing capital, including the description of what the Company considers
capital and to indicate if the Company has complied with any capital
requirements and the ramifications of non-compliance, if
applicable.
  “Financial
Instruments – Disclosures” and “Financial Instruments – Presentation” replace
“Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation;” revising and enhancing
its disclosure requirements to provide additional information regarding the
risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments the
Company is exposed to and how those risks are managed.
  In
January 2006, the CICA Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) adopted a strategic
plan for the direction of accounting standards in Canada. As part of that plan,
accounting standards in Canada for public companies are expected to converge
with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by the start of
2011.

  4. Deferred
costs, investment and advances:
  In June
2005, the Company signed a definitive Joint Venture Agreement (“JV Agreement”)
with Sanlong Cultural Communication Co. Ltd. (“Sanlong”). The joint venture
company will be known as Hebei Jintu Education Book Co. Ltd. (“Jintu”). Jintu
will continue Sanlong’s recently launched direct-to-consumer business of

invested approximately $365,000 (¥2,550,000 RMB) for its 51% share of
Jintu.
  Pursuant
to the June 2005 agreement, the Company has advanced funds for working capital
to Sanlong through a trust of $182,520, with a view to establishing Jintu and
incurred $157,419 in expenditures related to pre-operating costs to date. These
expenses are included in deferred costs. Upon commencement of the joint venture,
the advances will be converted into Lingo Media’s investment in registered
capital of the joint venture. These advances are non-interest bearing, and are
non-refundable.

   Speak2Me
Inc.
  On
October 18, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of
Speak2Me Inc. (“Speak2Me”). The results of Speak2Me’s operations have been
included in these consolidated financial statements since that date. Speak2Me is
a new media company that has developed software combining speech recognition and
avatar technologies for the teaching and practice of spoken
English.
  The
aggregate purchase price was $4,585,087. The acquisition was completed by way of
a share exchange agreement entered into between Lingo Media, Speak2Me and the
shareholders of Speak2Me on the basis of a share exchange ratio of one
post-consolidated common share of Lingo Media for each 3.975 common shares of
Speak2Me. Under the terms of the acquisition, Lingo Media acquired all the
issued and outstanding common shares of Speak2Me in exchange for 4,500,366
post-consolidated common shares of Lingo Media. The common shares were valued at
$4,536,351 based on the average market price of the Company’s shares over a
two-day period before and after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and
announced. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method,
whereby the total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets
acquired and to the liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values
at the measurement date.
  As part
of the acquisition, the shareholders of Lingo Media also approved the
consolidation of all its common shares on a one-for-seven basis, and the change
of the Company’s name to Lingo Media Corporation by way of a special resolution
of the shareholders at the Company’s Annual and Special Meeting held on October
5, 2007.

      December 10, 2008, and a charge on all assets including inventory and
      accounts receivables.

              485,000
  The terms
of the $230,000 revolving line of credit require that certain measurable
covenants be met. As at December 31, 2007, the Company was in violation of
certain covenants, for which the lender subsequently provided a written waiver
stating that it will not demand repayment until April 30, 2008. As the lines of
credit are currently presented as a current liability no additional adjustment
is required.

  (i) Escrowed
Shares:
  On April
30, 1997, the Company entered into a performance escrow agreement in Form C of
the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly Canadian Venture Exchange) (the “Exchange”)
with ComputerShare Investor Services Inc. (formerly “Montreal Trust Company of
Canada”) and certain security holders (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow
Agreement related to the escrow of certain common shares of the Company issued
upon completion of the reverse take over transaction between Lingo Media Ltd.
(formerly “Alpha Corporation”) and Lingo Media Inc. (formerly “Alpha Ventures
Inc.”) in 1997. At the time of the transaction, 2,860,528 pre-consolidated
common shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) were subject to a performance escrow
agreement.
  These
shares were subject to a new escrow agreement (“Time Release Escrow Agreement”)
made as of December 10, 2002 whereby the Escrowed Shares would be released on a
timed-release basis rather than the performance based release provisions of the
performance Escrow Agreement. Up to December 2005, 2,432,948 shares have been
released. The balance of the shares, 427,580 were released during
2006.

Capital stock, warrants and stock options (continued):
  (ii) In
September 2005, the Company completed an exempt private placement of 3,675,000
Units of its securities at $0.20 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $735,000. Each
Unit was comprised of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable
common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one additional common share for $0.40 for a term of 12 months
expiring on September 20, 2006. These warrants expired during 2006 without
exercise. The Warrants are subject to accelerated expiration, at the option of
the Company, at any time after January 20, 2006 in the event that the price of
the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) is $0.60 or
more for 10 consecutive trading days. In such event, the Company has three
business days to give notice of the acceleration of the term to the holders of
the Warrant and the Warrant term will be reduced to ten business days from the
date of such notice. A fee of 7% was paid to the agent and sub-agents with
respect to the sale of 3,675,000 Units. In addition, a total of 118,650
Compensation Warrants were issued to the agent and the sub-agents. Each
Compensation Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share for $0.40
for a term of 12 months expiring on September 20, 2006. The Compensation
Warrants are subject to accelerated expiration on the same terms as the Warrant.
These Warrants expired during 2006 without exercise.
  (iii) During
2006, 835,901 options were exercised for cash consideration of $66,679 at an
average price of $0.13 per share. In addition, 1,341,004 options were exercised
for $207,294 in settlement of accounts payable. Fair value of $187,812 related
to options exercised for cash and accounts payable settlement has been
reallocated to capital stock from contributed surplus.
  (iv) On
October 17, 2007, the Company closed a private placement offering of
subscription receipts. The gross proceeds of the offering totaled $775,000 with
an aggregate of 387,500 subscription receipts issued at a price of $2.00 per
subscription receipt. Each subscription receipt entitles the holder to receive
one common share and one common share purchase warrant of Lingo Media upon the
closing of the acquisition of Speak2Me. Each Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one (1) additional common share of Lingo Media at a purchase price of
$6.00 per share and is exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months from the
closing date of the Offering.

Capital stock warrants and stock options (continued):
  (c) Stock
option plan
  In
November 1996, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “1996 Plan”). The
1996 Plan was established to encourage ownership of common shares by directors,
senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of
shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan is limited to
1,078,000 common shares, provided that the Board has the right, from time to
time, to increase such number subject to shareholder and regulatory
approvals.
  The
maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one
person under the 1996 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of
the grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved
for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares granted
as a compensation or incentive mechanism. The exercise price of each option
cannot be less than the market price of the shares on the day immediately
proceeding the day of the grant, less any discount specifically permitted by the
TSX Venture Exchange. The exercise period of the options granted can not exceed
five years. The directors of the Company may from time to time amend or revise
the terms of the 1996 Plan or may terminate it at any time.
  During
May 2000, the Company adopted another stock option plan (the “2000 Plan”) for
the benefit of the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the
Company.
  In June
2005, the Company adopted a new stock option plan (the “2005 Plan “). The 2005
Plan was established to provide an incentive to employees, officers, directors
and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of
shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is limited to
4,821,955 common shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant
to options granted under the 1996 Plan and the 2000 Plan, provided that the
Board of Directors of the Company has the right, from time to time, to increase
such number subject to the approval of the relevant exchange on which the shares
are listed and the approval of the shareholders of the Company. The maximum
number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one person
under the 2005 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the
grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for
issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares of the
Company granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism. The exercise price of
each option can not be less than the market price of the shares on the day
immediately preceding the day of the grant less any permitted discount. The
exercise period of the options granted can not exceed 5 years. Options granted
under the 2005 Plan vest over an 18 month period with no greater than 16.67% of
any options granted to an optionee vesting in any 3 month period or such longer
period as the Board may determine. The Board of Directors of the Company may,
from time to time, amend or revise the terms of the 2005 Plan or may terminate
it at any time.

vested options are exercisable as of December 31, 2007.
  (d) Fair
value of options:
  The
weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to employees,
consultants and directors during 2007 has been estimated at $0.89 (2006 - $0.12)
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of the
options granted is expensed over the options vesting periods. The pricing model
assumes the weighted average risk free interest rates of 2.46% (2006 – 2.53%)
weighted average expected dividend yields of nil (2006 – nil), the weighted
average expected common stock price volatility of 105.0% (2006 – 157.9%) and a
weighted average expected life of 5 years.

the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable
income, uncertainties related to the industry in which the Company operates and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has not
recognized any benefit for these losses.

party balances and transactions (continued):
  Speak2Me
Inc. Acquisition:
  The
acquisition of Speak2Me constituted as a "related party transaction" as the CEO
of the Company was also a director of Speak2Me and partially owned common shares
of Speak2Me prior to its acquisition by Lingo Media.
  The
President & CEO of Lingo Media beneficially owns, indirectly, 1,583,333
common shares representing 10.63% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Speak2Me prior to its acquisition by Lingo Media. Due to the conflict of
interest, he abstained from voting on matters relating to the
acquisition.
  The Board
of Directors of Lingo Media appointed a special committee, consisting of two
independent directors, to review the proposed acquisition of Speak2Me. In
reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendations, the special
committee considered among other factors: (i) audited financial statements of
Speak2Me for the period ended August 24, 2007, (ii) information in respect of
its assets and operations, and (iii) an independent valuation.

Unfavourable changes in the exchange rate may affect the operating results of
the Company. The Company is also exposed to currency risk as a substantial
amount of its revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars and Chinese Renminbi
("RMB").

   16. Financial
instruments and risk management (continued):
  (d) Concentration
of risk:
  Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash and short-term
investment consist of deposits with major financial institutions. With respect
to accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of the
financial condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral
from them. Management assesses the need for allowances for potential credit
losses by considering the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends
and other information. The Jintu loan receivable (note 4) is secured by a
personal guarantee from a non – related party.
  (e) Interest
rate risk:
  The
Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through floating rate
borrowings. The floating rate debt is subject to interest rate cash flow risk,
as the required cash flows to service the debt will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market rates.
  17. Economic
dependence
  The
Company has sales to a major customer in 2007 and 2006, a government agency of
the People’s Republic of China. The accounts receivable due from this customer
are insured up to 90% by the Export Development Corporation. The total
percentage of sales to this customer during the year was 22% (2006 – 56%), and
the total percentage of accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 was 93% (2006 –
75%).
  18. Segmented
information:
  The
Company operates two distinct reportable business segments as follows. These
business segments are differentiated by English language learning products have

 Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Expressed
in Canadian dollars)
 December
31, 2007 and 2006
   20. Reconciliation
of Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"):
  (a) Development
costs:
  Under
Canadian GAAP, the Company defers the incremental costs relating to the
development of and the pre-operating phases of new businesses and established
business and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over periods up to
five years. Under United States GAAP, incremental costs related to development
of and the pre-operating plan of a new business are expensed as incurred but the
incremental costs incurred for established businesses are capitalized and
amortized over on a straight line basis over periods up to five
years.
  Under
United States GAAP, the amounts shown on the consolidated balance sheets for
development costs would be $222,303.
  (b) Options
to consultants:
  Starting
January 1, 2004 under United States, the Company records compensation expense
based on the fair value for stock or stock options granted in exchange for
services from consultants and employees.
  (c) Statement
of comprehensive income:
  Statement
No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), establishes standards for
the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in
financial statements. Components of comprehensive income or loss include net
income or loss and all other changes in other non-owner changes in equity, such
as the change in the cumulative translation adjustment and the unrealized gain
or loss for the year on "available-for-sale" securities. For all periods
presented, comprehensive loss is the same as loss for the year under US
GAAP.
  (d) Deferred
costs:
  Under
Canadian GAAP, the Company defers the incremental costs relating to the
development of and the pre-operating phases of new businesses and established
business and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over periods up to
five years. Under United States GAAP, incremental costs related to development
of and the pre-operating plan of a new business are expensed as incurred but the
incremental costs incurred for established businesses are capitalized and
amortized over on a straight line basis over periods up to five
years.
  (e) Recent
Accounting Pronouncements:
  (i) In
February 2006, FASB issued FASB 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments an amendment to FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, and FASB 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FASB 155, provides the
framework for fair value remeasurement of any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation as well
as establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial
assets to identify interests. FASB 155 further amends FASB 140 to eliminate the
prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative
financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another
derivative financial instrument. The FASB 155 guidance also clarifies which
interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the
requirement of FASB 133 and concentrations of credit risk in the form of
subordination are not embedded derivatives. This statement is effective for all
financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not
believe SFAS No. 155 will have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

   20. Reconciliation
of Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
(continued):
  (e) Recent
Accounting Pronouncements:
  (ii) In March
2006, FASB issued FASB 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets--an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. FASB 156 requires the recognition of a
servicing asset or servicing liability under certain circumstances when an
obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.
FASB 156 also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities to be initially measured at fair value utilizing the amortization
method or fair market value method. FASB 156 is effective the beginning of the
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not
believe SFAS No. 156 will have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
  (iii) FASB
issued statement of Financial Accounting No. 157 Fair Value Measurement, this
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted. The standard provides enhanced guidance for using
fair value to measure assets and liabilities, the information used to measure
fair value, and the effect of fair value measurement on earnings. The standard
applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value. It does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. The Company does not expect there to be any material impact on
the Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption of the
standard.
  (iv) In
January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation 46 “Accounting for
Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) that requires the consolidation of
Variable Interest Equities (“VIEs”). VIEs are entities that have insufficient
equity or their equity investors lack one or more of the specified elements that
a controlling entity would have. The VIEs are controlled through financial
interests that indicate control (referred to as “variable interests”). Variable
interests are the rights or obligations that expose the holder of the variable
interest to expected losses or expected residual gains of the entity. The holder
of the majority of an entity’s variable interests is considered the primary
beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. In December 2003
the FASB issued FIN 46R which superseded FIN 46 and restricts the scope of the
definition of entities that would be considered VIEs that require consolidation.
The Company does not believe FIN 46R results in the consolidation of any
additional entities.
  (v) Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation
requires that an entity recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a
tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on
examination by the taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the
position. Tax benefits resulting from such a position should be measured as the
amount that is more likely than not on a cumulative basis to be sustained on
examination. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. The
adoption of this interpretation did not impact the Company’s Financial
Statements.
  (vi) On 1
January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. The statement requires retrospective application
to prior periods’ Financial Statements of a voluntary change in accounting
principle versus including the cumulative effect of changing to the new
accounting principle in net income. SFAS No. 154 carries forward many provisions
of APB Opinion No. 20 without change, including the provisions related to the
reporting of a change in accounting estimate, a change in the reporting entity,
and the correction of an error. The adoption of this standard did not impact the
Company’s Financial Statements.

February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115 (SFAS No. 159). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that
choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective on January 1, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Financial
Statements.
