To the Directors of A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd.:



We have audited the balance sheet of A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. as at December 31, 2005 and the statements of loss, retained earnings (deficit) 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.


Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure 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.


Because we were appointed auditors of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2006, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning inventory quantities as at December 31, 2004 either through observing the inventory count or by alternative means. Since opening inventories enter into the determination of the results of operations and cash flows, we were unable to determine whether adjustments to cost of sales, incomes taxes, net loss for the year, opening retained earnings and cash provided from operations might be necessary.


In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, if any, which we might have determined necessary had we been able to examine opening inventories, as described in the preceding paragraph, these financial statements present fairly, in all materials respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd.

Notes to Financials Statements

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2005




1.

Incorporation and operations


A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporation Act of the Province of Alberta on February 12, 1999. The Company is primarily involved in the sale and support of educational products to families across Canada.



2.

Significant accounting policies


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and include the following significant accounting policies:


Inventory


Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method.


Property and equipment


Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Amortization is provided using methods outlined below at rates intended to amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives.

Product development costs


Research costs are expensed as incurred. Product development costs are deferred once costs meet the criteria under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization. Such deferred costs are amortized, commencing when the product is commercially released over the estimated period of economic viability.


The recoverability of any unamortized product development costs is reviewed on an ongoing basis. The accumulated development costs of any product not considered to be economically viable are considered unrecoverable and included in the current year’s earnings.


Long-lived assets


Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and product development costs. Long-lived assets held for use are measure and amortized as described in the applicable accounting policies.


The Company performs impairment testing on long-lived assets held for use whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset, or group of assets, may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized when undiscounted future cash flows from its use and disposal are less than the asset’s carrying amount. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Any impairment is included in earnings, loss for the year.


Prices for similar items and discounted cash flows are used to measure fair value of long-lived assets.


Revenue recognition


Revenues from the sale of educational products are recognized at the time of delivery.


Future income taxes


The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.


Foreign currency translation


Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities reflect the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on translation or settlement are included in the determination of net income for the current period.


Measurement uncertainty


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian 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 at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation as to their collectibility and an appropriate obsolete inventory. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Product development costs are stated after evaluation its economic viability.


These estimates and assumptions are reviews periodically and, as adjustments become necessary they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become know.


3.

Receivables from shareholders


Advances to the shareholders are non-secured, non-interest bearing, and have no set repayment terms.


4.

Product development costs


Product developments costs represents costs incurred in developing a new educational product. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 nil (year ended December 31, 2005 - $61,135; December 31, 2004 - $31,100) of expenditures relating to product development were deferred.


As the product under development has not yet reached the stage of commercial production no amortization of costs has occurred.


Included in product development costs are $81,800 of costs paid to a party related through common control. The transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

12.

Financial instruments


The Company, as part of its operations, carries a number of financial instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments except as otherwise disclosed.


Fair value of financial instruments


Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involved uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in the following assumptions could significantly affect the estimates:


The carrying values of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accruals approximate their fair values, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.


It is not practicable within the constraints of timeliness or cost to determine the fair value of amounts receivable from shareholders because these instruments are not traded in an organized financial market. The terms and conditions of the receivable from shareholders is disclosed in Note 3.


13.

Contingencies


The Company has been named as defendant in a lawsuit seeking to recover damages allegedly sustained by the plaintiff as a result of breach of contract. The complaint with respect to this action alleges the plaintiff carried out telemarketing services in accordance with an agreement for which they have not yet been paid.


The Company has been named as defendant in another lawsuit filed by a formed employee of the Company, seeking to recover damages allegedly sustained as a result of constructive dismissal. The complaint with respect to this action alleges the employee was unfairly demoted.


These lawsuits remain at an early stage and, as litigation is subject to many uncertainties, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits or to estimate the loss, if any, which may result.


In the normal conduct of operations, there are other pending claims against the Company. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. In the opinion of management final determination of these other litigations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


14.

Subsequent event


Subsequent to the date of the financial statements, an intent to purchase 62.33% of the outstanding shares of the Company was filed with the TSX Venture Exchange and is pending regulatory approval.
