In this Annual Report on Form 20-F, all references to “Forum”, or the “Company” refer to Forum National Investments, Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. References to this “Form 20-F” and this “Annual Report” mean references to this Annual Report on Form 20-F for the period ended September 30, 2009.

We use the Canadian dollar as our reporting currency. All references in this Annual Report to “dollars” or “$” are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See also “Item 3. Key Information” for more detailed currency and conversion information. Our consolidated financial statements, which form part of the annual report are presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to our business, are explained in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning our business strategies, market conditions, outlook and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management including, but not limited to, certain statements and projections concerning our plans, intentions, strategies, expectations, predictions, financial projections, assumptions and estimates related to accounting policies, concerning the our future activities and results of operations and other future events or conditions. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on current facts and analyses and include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the effect of certain transactions, including marketing agreements on our revenues and results of operations in future periods;
  • our discussions with potential new marketing agents or membership based organizations and the status of these discussions;
  • our ability to secure additional financing and grow operating cash flow;
  • our ability to compete successfully in the Life Settlement marketplace and source adequate amounts and appropriate pricing of Life Settlement policies.
  • application of critical accounting policies and the effect of accounting pronouncements on our results of operations;
  • our focus on key long-term objectives, including diversifying our type of membership offerings, maintaining and expanding current membership levels through various marketing channels, and improving all levels and areas of service;
  • other statements related to our business and results of operations.

Forward looking statements are made based on management’s reasonable beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made. However, these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to support capital expansion plans; changing travel and lifestyle trends of consumers; competition; pricing and availability of services; insurance laws and regulations and changes thereto that may affect the way our services are marketed, provided and sold; and political and economic uncertainties including exchange controls, currency fluctuations, taxation and other laws or governmental economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies of Canada and the United States affecting foreign travel, investment and taxation and other factors beyond our reasonable control, which, in turn, could affect our current or future operations. See “Key Information – Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this filing. Readers should carefully review the cautionary statements and risk factors contained in this and other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes:

(*) The Company has changed its year end to September 30th effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Fiscal period for September 30, 2007 includes nine months for comparison and does not include the October 18, 2007, purchase of Family Vacation Centers and associated increase in revenues.

(1) Deferred Revenue – Current portion included in Current Liabilities

(2) Effective April 16, 2007, the Company's common shares were forward split on a three new for one old basis.

On February 1, 2010, the exchange rate for Canadian dollars was $1.00 (US) for $1.0653 (CAD), as posted by the Bank of Canada.

The high and low buying rate figures are selected from monthly figures for each month of the previous six-month period ending December 31, 2010. Daily average figures are not available from any major Canadian chartered bank.

    January     December     November     October     September     August  
High   1.0657     1.0713     1.0774     1.0845     1.1065     1.1079  
Low   1.0251     1.0405     1.0460     1.0292     1.0613     1.0686  

Historical exchange rates for $1.00 (US) expressed in Canadian dollars over the past five years are as follows:

    2009     2008     2007     2006     2005  
Period End   1.0722     1.0599     1.0905     1.1653     1.1659  
Average   1.1453     1.0660     1.0747     1.1340     1.2116  
High   1.3066     1.2969     1.0905     1.0990     1.1507  
Low   1.0251     0.9719     0.9215     1.1726     1.2704  

The above information was obtained from the Bank of Canada and is believed by the Company to closely approximate the rates certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.

B) CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

This Form 20-F is been filed as an annual report under the Exchange Act and, as such; there is no requirement to provide information under this item.

C) REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

This Form 20-F is been filed as an annual report under the Exchange Act and, as such; there is no requirement to provide information under this item.

D) RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors, prior to making an investment in the Company, should carefully consider, among others, the following risk factors:

The Company’s businesses are heavily regulated and changes in regulations, changes in interpretation of existing regulations or failure to obtain required regulatory approvals or licenses could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate or compete effectively.

On September 30, 2008 the Canadian governments “no call registry” went into effect. The new law allows consumers who do not wish to be “solicited” and receive telemarketing calls to register on the federal government’s nationwide list. The “no call list” is receiving millions of registrants. A similar law was enacted in the United States on October 1, 2003. These regulation effect the Companies historical method of direct marketing to consumers of its travel products.

In the 1990’s with the growth of the Life Settlement industry various states introduced legislation. The state legislative actions were designed to introduce consumer protection type regulations for policy holders and purchasers while the federal government with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeks to regulate the market for the protection of a purchaser. Many states require the licensing of life settlement brokers and providers, mandate disclosures to sellers or purchasers or both, require periodic reporting requirements, and set forth prohibited business practices. It is anticipated within the next 5 years that all states will have some form of regulation governing commerce in the Life Settlement industry.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission treat Life Settlements as securities under state and federal securities law when viewed as a structured product. No state federal or regulatory body or private litigant has successfully asserted that our settlements transactions are under state or federal law. As the purchaser or possible seller of policies we represent that we are a sophisticated individual and have diminutive needs for protection afforded by securities laws. We have utilized some exceptions and exemptions in conducting our life settlement transactions.

The insurance industry is highly regulated. The Company is not required to be licensed as an insurance company or insurance broker as the Company does not issue policies. Regulations that cover policy terms, premium payment, transferability, and receipt of policy benefits could adversely affect the secondary market for life settlements in which the company operates.

There can be no assurance that unforeseen developments or introduction of legislation, laws, and other factors in Consumer, Securities or Insurance regulations at Federal or State level will not alter the Company’s ability to achieve it growth targets for marketing and selling Travel Club programs or entering and operating in the Life Settlement market.

The Company may require additional capital to grow its Life Settlement division; if we are unable to obtain financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to grow this segment of the Company.

As of September 30, 2009 the Company had a working capital surplus of $817,711. The Company continues to successfully operate within the continually evolving and volatile travel industry. The Company generates operating cash flow through its travel and charter operations. There can be no assurances the Company will be able to generate sufficient investment from borrowing, the sale of equity, or a combination thereof to rapidly grow its life Settlement

division and other business developments. If additional financing is required, there is no certainty it will be available when and to the extent required or that if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to maintain and rapidly grow its business expansion. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's planned growth.

Because of daily price and volume limitations associated with being an OTCBB quoted company, you may not be able to sell your shares of our common stock at a particular price on any particular trading day, or at all.

The Company's common stock is vulnerable to pricing and purchasing actions in the “OTCBB” market that are beyond its control and therefore persons holding or acquiring shares may be unable to resell their shares at a profit as a result of this volatility.

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of the Company’s stock.

The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on the Company’s stock will depend on its earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting the Company at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If the Company does not pay dividends, its stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.

The market price for our common shares has been and is expected to continue to be volatile; and as a result the value of your investment in the Company may decrease.

The trading price of the Company's securities has been subject to wide fluctuations in response to variations in its operating results, its announcements of business developments, or new services by the Company or its competitors, and other events and factors. The securities markets themselves have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of any particular companies. Announcements of delays in the Company's business plans or online commerce operations, technological innovations or new services by the Company, or its competitor’s developments, could have a significant and adverse impact on such market prices. Also, economic and other external factors, as well as period-to-period fluctuations in its financial results, may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's securities.

There can be no assurance that the continual fluctuations in price will not occur. In particular, subsequent to the financial period ended September 30, 2009, the price per share of the Company’s common shares fluctuated (US dollar figures) from a low of $0.75 to a high of $1.79 and a current level of $1.01.

We may issue additional shares in the Company thereby further diluting the total shares issued and outstanding. As well, a substantial number of our shares of common stock will be eligible for future sale, and the sale of these shares may cause our stock price to decline, even if our business is doing well.

Situations may arise which could require the issuance of additional shares of the Company. In addition to the three (3) for one (1) split in the Company’s common shares April 16, 2007, there has been an increase in the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. In July, 2007 the Company completed private placements for a total of $9 million USD and correspondingly issued 14,500,000 restricted common shares of the company.

On June 27, 2007 the record date, as part of a restructuring the Company issued 13,933,983 Series ”A” Preferred shares to all the existing registered and beneficial common shareholders on a one (1) for one (1) PRO RATA basis. The Series “A’ Preferred shares are convertible, as a Series into common shares of the Company provided a majority of the Series “A” Preferred shareholders vote in favor of converting the entire Series. The Series will convert into a number of common shares that will represent 50% of the number of fully diluted common shares after conversion.

On June 27, 2007 the record date, as part of a restructuring the Company issued 13,933,983 Series ”B” Preferred Shares to all the existing registered and beneficial common shareholders on a one (1) for one (1) PRO RATA basis. The Series “B” Preferred shares are convertible into common shares of the Company on a one for one basis by shareholders of record as of June 27, 2007.

On July 5th 2007, the Company executed a Stock Option plan reserving 2,850,000 shares in the common stock of the Corporation to provide its officers, directors, employees and consultants with an incentive to use their best efforts to advance the business affairs of the Corporation.  The minimum exercise price of an option granted under the plan cannot be less than 80% of the market price of the common shares on the date of the grant.  The Board has full discretion at the time of granting an option with respect to the term and the vesting period of the options.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company granted all 2,850,000 options available under the plan with an exercise price of $1.00, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant.

Furthermore future equity financings, property transactions, issuance of stock options among other things may require the subsequent issuance and further dilution of the Company’s securities.

Our significant shareholders and management personnel have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may result in their taking corporate actions which you may not believe to be in your best interests or in the best interests of the Company.

The Company’s officers and board of directors control more than 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock. The concentration of such a large percentage of the Company’s stock in the hands of relatively few shareholders may cause a disproportionate effect on minority shareholders in all matters presented to the company’s shareholders. The Company’s officers and board of directors as majority shareholders have the power to take corporate actions which other shareholders may not believe are in their best interests or in the best interests of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s officers and Board of Directors as will not cause the Company to take such corporate actions.

We rely on our founders, Messrs. Dan Clozza and Martin Tutschek, the loss of either could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success will depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dan Clozza and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Martin Tutschek. Messrs. Clozza and Tutschek are actively engaged in our management and together determine our strategic direction, especially with regard to investment and business development activity. An audit committee has been established with three additional directors elected to the board, and we continue the process of establishing a management structure designed to reduce our dependence on Messrs. Clozza and Tutschek, the sudden departure or reduced attention of either Messrs. Clozza or Tutschek to us could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and operating results. The Company does not maintain “key man” insurance in respect of any of its management.

For our business to be successful we will need to attract and retain qualified personnel, licensees or operators, brokers or life settlement providers. Failure to attract and retain such parties could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Company's future success depends, in significant part, upon the continuing service and performance of its senior management and other key personnel, with whom it does not have employment agreements at this time. If it loses the services of any of these individuals, its ability to effectively deliver services to its customers and manage its business effectively, could be impaired. Furthermore, companies seeking to develop similar business strategies may hire away some of our key employees.

The Company's historical core growth depends, in significant part, upon the continuing sales and marketing of its Travel Club products. If the Company is unable to secure an Operator, is unable to contract a Licensee, or

6


implement other non-traditional marketing efforts, its ability to effectively grow and expand its business could be impaired.

We continue to develop our network of Life Settlement provider companies and other industry affiliates. Our ability to initiate, build and grow these relationships is dependent on many factors including the purchase volume and amount of commissions received from transactions with the Company. The relationship with these individuals is fundamental to operating in this market. We have no contractual arrangements with financial planners, insurance brokers or Life Settlement providers. The Company believes that its future success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, Licensees or operators, and brokers or Life Settlement providers for its operations. The failure to continue to attract or retain such persons or entities could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive. If the Company cannot successfully compete, its growth rate may stagnate or revenues may decline.

The market in which the Company competes is intensely competitive in all its phases. It is expected that competition will intensify and increase in the future as more vacation and travel-related companies engage in e-commerce and or travel clubs. The Company anticipates that it will compete for customers and experienced personnel with a number of companies having significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than it has. Established branded companies may have some marketing advantage due to their market identities and this is likely to have serious ramifications for the remaining companies. Price competition may be instituted and sustained further reducing the profit margins, resulting in a reduction of the Company's market share, and revenues.

The Life Settlement market is a relatively new market within the financial services sector. Its continued growth and precise direction is unclear. Though the Company has been successful in Life Settlement industry to date the Company’s successful growth in the Life Settlement market may be slowed for various reasons this includes:

  • The ability of the Company to compete with other Life Settlement companies;
  • The ability of the Company to locate sufficient policy flow;
  • The ability of the Company to successfully negotiate and close Life Settlement transactions;
  • The Company’s ability to raise sufficient ongoing funding to rapidly grow the business;
  • Introduction of financially burdensome governmental regulation;

We may be unable to develop and maintain a distinctive brand identity, which could damage our reputation, reduce market penetration and reduce sales.

The Company believes brand identity is important to attracting and expanding the travel club membership base and Life Settlement portfolio. The Company believes the significance of brand and name recognition will intensify should the number of competing companies increase. The Company cannot assure shareholders that it will be able to continue to maintain a distinctive brand identity that will ensure significant market recognition. Without market recognition, the Company may be unable to sell new travel club memberships or source new life settlement policies, which failure would affect growth and operating results.

Estimates of life expectancy in the Life Settlement market are uncertain at best and any material underestimation will materially affect the cost, lower the anticipated returns, and effect the liquidity of the secondary marketplace.

In the Life Settlement market, the price of a successful bid for a settlement insurance policy is based upon several variables. The most relevant being the face value of the policy, the continuing premium costs, and the anticipated life expectancy of the insured. An insured’s life expectancy is estimated from a medical life expectancy report, medical history, genetic history and actuarial data. Bids for policies are priced with this information and seek to obtain competitive yields available for other financial products with similar risk.

7


It is impossible to predict with accuracy an insured’s exact life expectancy. In September of 2008 one of the largest providers of life expectancy reports announced its lengthening of life expectancy tables by nearly 25% with others underwriters following suite with 10% increases. An underestimation will result in lower returns than projected. An underestimation also increases the amount of capital necessary to be reserved for premium payments. Similarly an overestimation will result in higher returns and lower premium reserves.

Taking into account all available information, the Company cannot assure that it will not err by underestimating or overestimating the average life expectancy of an individual and the amounts required for future premiums. Any associated losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

System failures or flaws in our computer and communications systems could decrease market acceptance of our sales and services, which would reduce our revenues and profitability.

The Company's ability to facilitate trade successfully and provide high quality customer service depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of its computer and communications systems. These systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events. The Company does not have a formal disaster recovery plan or alternative providers of hosting services, and does not carry business interruption insurance to compensate it for losses that may occur. Despite any precautions taken, or planned to be taken, by the Company, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems could result in interruptions in the services provided by the Company.

In addition, system failures to provide the data communications capacity required by the Company, as a result of human error, natural disasters, or other operational disruption, could result in interruptions to its service and sales. Any damage to, or failure of, the Company's systems could result in reductions in, or terminations of, services that could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. In the case of frequent or persistent system failures, the Company's reputation could be materially adversely affected. Although it has implemented certain network security measures, the Company is also vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data or the inability to complete customer transactions. The occurrence of any and all of these events could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our Directors or corporate auditors or to enforce against us or these persons judgments obtained in United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

We are a public company incorporated and domiciled under the laws of Canada. Three of our seven directors and two of our executive officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Furthermore, all or a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to:

  • effect service of process within the United States upon any of our directors and executive officers or on us; or
  • enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against any of our directors and executive officers or us in the U.S. courts in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws;
  • enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against any of our directors and senior management or us in courts of jurisdictions outside the United States in any action, including actions under the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; or
  • to bring an original action in a Canadian court to enforce liabilities against any of our directors and executive officers or us based upon U.S. securities laws.

8


You may also have difficulties enforcing in courts outside the United States judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against any of our directors and executive officers or us, including actions under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws.

In summary, the realization of any of the risks described in these "Risk Factors" could have a significant and adverse impact on such market prices.

ITEM IV. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

This description contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks set forth herein and elsewhere in this Form 20-F.

A) HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada on September 22, 1995, under the name of Snowbird Vacations International Inc., and was continued to the Province of Ontario on November 12, 1997. The name of the Company was changed to Intravelnet.com Inc. on February 26, 1999. Further to shareholder approval on April 17, 2002, the Company’s name was changed to Forum National Investments Ltd., with a consolidation of the share capital on a ten old for a one new basis, effective July 5, 2002. On April 16 of 2007 the share capital of the Company was forward split on a 3 new for 1 old basis.

The Company’s principal office is Suite 200, 550 Denman Street, Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6G 3H1, the telephone number is (604) 778-588-7784 and fax number is (604) 684-6139. The Company’s agent in Canada is KMS Corporate Services Inc, 1100 One Bentall Center, 505 Burrard Street, Box 11, Vancouver, B.C., V7X 1M5. The Company has the following web addresses: www.foruminvestments.com, www.snowbirdvacations.com, www.SpiritOfTwoThousandTen.com, www.spirityachtcharters.com, www.fitnessvacation.ca www.americanlifesettlementsociety.com, www.thealss.com, www.condobargainclub.com; www.familyvacationcenters.net and www.snowbirdvacationcenter.com

Forum National Investments Ltd. maintains a fiscal year ending September 30. The Company's financial statements are stated in Canadian Dollars and are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the application of which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects for periods presented with U.S. GAAP except as noted in the notes to the Company's financial statements. See "Item XVII Financial Statements".

In January of 2007, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Price Shield Systems Inc., a Washington State Corporation. Price Shields Systems Inc., sole business is a contract which facilitates the ongoing supply of resort and Condominium inventory which is marketed to the travel club membership. The Company has subsequently secured the condominium relationships directly and no longer requires or uses Price Shield Systems Inc., in any capacity. Price Shield Systems Inc incorporation has not been maintained and is defunct.

In the first quarter of 2007 the Company entered into a servicing agreement with an Ontario and BC registered travel wholesaler to assist in servicing the Snowbird Vacations Travel Club membership. The operators’ industry knowledge and experience in the wholesale travel market combined with their centralized call center and on-line presence have been valuable in assisting the continued serving and growth of the Travel Club membership. This servicing agreement has expanded to include the servicing of the recently acquired Family Vacation Centers members.

With the affiliation and contracting out of our travel services, it is unknown at this time as to the future status of the company’s subsidiary’s Intravelnet Inc., Intravelnet LTD., and Snowbird travel Partners Inc. It is highly unlikely that the Company as the parent company will recoup inter-company loans and advances made to Intravelnet Inc and or other subsidiaries over the last several years totaling approximating $4.4 million. It is the opinion of

9


management that the that any tax loss still remaining as a result of the above mentioned losses will ultimately be carried forward and applied to offset future year’s tax obligations.

On October 18, 2007, the Company purchased the notes receivable and vacation club memberships of Family Vacation Centers from an Ontario based Company for consideration of $3,052,866 in cash and stock. The Company marketed the Family Vacation Centers membership from its Burlington Ontario location until July 4, 2008 at which time a decision was made to cease marketing and sales operations from its Burlington Ontario office citing the downturn in the economic climate.

The Company's historical core growth depends, in significant part, upon the continuing sales and marketing of its Travel Club products. If the Company is unable to secure an Operator, is unable to contract a Licensee, or implement other non-traditional marketing efforts, its ability to effectively grow and expand its business could be impaired. In addition to securing an Operator or contracting a Licensee, the Company’s traditional growth has been dependent upon the success of these entities operations. (See Item 3 Risk factors, Ability to Attract and retain Successful Licensees or Operators).

The Company has completed the rebuild on its 120 feet motor vessel MV Spirit of Two Thousand and Ten in 2009. The Company had established an initial construction credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services for up to $3 million USD which had provided funding for the project. The Company subsequently had the credit facility increased to $4.3 million USD in spring of 2007. The construction loan has been converted to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD with an interest rate of 7%. The Company spent $2,949,292 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, $1,959,585 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 and another $288,746 ,to December 31, 2009.

The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary in August 2008 called Spirit Yacht Charters Ltd. Limited chartering operations began in summer of 2009 facilitated through the Spirit Yacht Charters subsidiary. Mechanical engine failure in the month of July limited the potential revenue for the charter operations its inaugural season.

In 2005, Forum began to investigate the business opportunities in the secondary Life Insurance market also known as “Life Settlements”. The Company is entering into the business of purchasing life insurance policies from consumers actively interested in selling their policies. Forum has invested in the purchasing of Life Insurance policies issued in the Unites States sold by the policy holders with life expectancies of 6 to 15 years. The Company then becomes the irrevocable beneficiary of these policies.

Although relatively new, the Life Settlement market is the fastest growing segment of the financial services industry. The life insurance industry is a “double digit” trillion dollar industry and the Life Settlement market is projected to grow significantly within the next few years. The senior and the baby boomer markets are the fastest growing segments of the population, resulting in billions of dollars in policies rolling into the Life Settlement policy industry annually. Expected growth of the Life Settlement market will parallel the aging population boom. The significant, additional money that many policy holders receive from life settlement companies in the secondary market represents “found money”; turning otherwise illiquid assets into cash. In general, this windfall significantly improves the lifestyle of the policy holder when most seniors need it, i.e. -- allowing them to afford long-term health care or maintain their current standard of living for many more additional years. Legitimate Life Settlement companies have been described as providing a “socially responsible” service.

Since the Company began to research the Life Settlement industry it has completed a substantial amount of due-diligence and invested capital to create large channels of Life Settlement “policy flow”. The Company is currently sourcing Life Settlement policies through “Business to Business” (B2B) Channels and anticipates launching a “Business to Consumer” (B2C) model upon securing sufficient capital commitments.

The Company uses an industry standard Milliman Report (consultants for the health care insurance industry) along with recent purchases and sales of similar life insurance policies, financial standing of the insurer, changes in general economic conditions, standard, actuarially developed mortality tables and industry life expectancy reports to

10


determine an acceptable purchase price. In fiscal 2008, the Company entered the Life Settlement industry with the initial purchase of $30,930 thousand USD face value of Life Insurance policies. The Company paid $1,788,567 ($1,742,817 USD) which was funded by the recent Private Placements completed by the Company in July of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008 a $5 Million USD policy matured resulting in a portfolio face value of $25,930 thousand USD at a cost of $1,548,070 ($1,506,473 USD) at the end of the financial year.

Additionally the Company originally intended to acquire a 25% interest in a mixed use development property in Needles California for US$1,000,000. The 22 acre property with 850 feet of waterfront on the Colorado River has a marina with a 20,000 square foot storage facility for marine based activity. As the property is developed to various stages differing options to include condo / townhomes for either full ownership, fractional ownership of timeshare intervals will be explored. The Canadian travel club membership would be offered a product in a southern United States location that has an extended season of favorable weather conditions. Subsequent to fiscal year end 2008, the Company discovered that the investee had failed to raise the additional capital as planned. As a result, the ownership interest actually acquired by the Company was 54% instead of 25% as originally intended. Accordingly, the Company has restated the presentation of its investment to consolidate the net assets of Colorado River Resorts LLC (the “LLC”) as of September 30, 2008. .  Subsequent to the initial investment, the LLC entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire the development property. The deterioration of the real estate market in the southern United States by the end of fiscal 2008 triggered an impairment analysis of the investment in the property.  The fair value of the property, based on an independent appraisal, had deteriorated below the value of the outstanding mortgage and therefore the fair value of the asset group was determined to be zero. Accordingly, a write down of the property of $1,619,163 was recognized in 2008.

To expand beyond is present financial capabilities in the Life Settlement market and other business ventures, additional financing will be sought. There can be no assurances the Company will be able to generate sufficient investment from borrowing, the sale of equity, or a combination thereof to rapidly grow its life Settlement division and other business expansion. If additional financing is required, there is no certainty it will be available when and to the extent required or that if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to grow and expand its business at an accelerated rate. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's planned growth. This and other risks related to operating in the Life Settlement industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and planned growth. (See Item 3 Risk factors, The Company May Require Additional Capital).

B) BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company has three lines of business at this time:

  • The Company owns and operates travel clubs under the name of Snowbird Vacations and Family Vacations Centers. In addition to accessing a full service travel agency and other travel benefits, travel club members are entitled to rent vacation ownership rentals from a broad variety of participating resorts at wholesale rates.
  • The Company owns a passenger carrying yacht the 120’ MV Spirit of 2010, a 43 foot sunbridge cruiser a 18 foot tender and two jet skis. The equipment is for charter cruises to the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Baja Mexico. I n addition to day cruises from its home port in Vancouver, B.C. Charters will be available to the general public in addition to the existing travel club membership.
  • The Company has entered the Life Settlement market. A life settlement is the purchase of an existing life insurance policy by a third party. The third party then continues to make the premiums payments until the policy has matured and at that time receives the benefits. The Company sees this new market as a high growth opportunity in which to participate through its recently created American Life Settlement Society.

Real risks exist in operating a Travel Club and Life Settlement business. These risks may have a material adverse effect on the Company's Travel club and expansion in the Life Settlement marketplace. (See Item 3 Risk factors, The Markets in Which the Company Competes is Highly Competitive. If the Company Cannot Successfully Compete, its Growth Rate May Stagnate or Revenues May Decline).

Travel Club

The Company’s historical business is providing travel services for the members of its travel clubs. A travel club membership entitles the member to access discount travel at rates marginally above the cost to the travel agency as well as vacation condominium rentals at discount rates through the Company’s wholesale network affiliation with the Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers (C.A.R.E.) and other strategic relationships in the travel industry. The Company continues to develop products and services for its members, and seeks to expand its membership by securing and contracting licensed marketing agents, acquisitions and Internet marketing.

* Fiscal period for September 30, 2007 includes 9 months for comparison and does not include the October 18, 2007, purchase of Family Vacation Centers.

For the fiscal period 2009, a total for both travel clubs (Snowbird Vacations (Snowbirds) and Family Vacations Centers (FVC)) of Nil (2008 – 1,030, 2007 - 275) travel club memberships were sold for a mean average non-refundable purchase price of $Nil (2008 - $3,196, 2007 - $2,996).

Both Snowbird and FVC Travel club memberships are due in full at the time of sale, and may either be paid in cash or financed by the Company (see Travel Club - this section). Traditional Travel club membership costs to the member range from $995 for a trial membership to $7,995 for a lifetime membership marketed through a bricks and mortar environment. The Company is seeking to foray into the Internet marketing of the travel club program with an initial membership fee far less than previously required.

Continued membership in both clubs is dependent on the member paying a monthly fee of $19.95 to $29.95. If the member has not paid his/her monthly dues, the member has no entitlements. Entitlements are restored once arrears of monthly fees are paid, at the sole discretion of the club.

The Snowbird and FVC membership entitles the members to vacation condominium rentals at discount rates through the Company’s wholesale network affiliation with the Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers (“C.A.R.E.”), and discount travel at rates marginally above the cost to the travel agency. The Company has sold the following travel club memberships:

* Fiscal year for September 30, 2007 includes 9 months for comparison and does not include the purchase of Family Vacation Centers on October 18 of 2007.

Travel club purchasers have the option to pay the initial membership fee in a single installment or, alternatively, pay a minimum down payment of 10% and obtain financing from the Company with monthly payments for the remainder of the balance. The Company seeks interest at an average rate of 9.9% on outstanding membership receivables.

Additionally the Company originally intended to acquire a 25% interest in a mixed use development property in Needles California for US$1,000,000. The 22 acre property with 850 feet of waterfront on the Colorado River has a marina with a 20,000 square foot storage facility for marine based activity. As the property is developed to various stages differing options to include condo / townhomes for either full ownership, fractional ownership of timeshare intervals will be explored.

The deterioration of the real estate market in the southern United States by the end of fiscal 2008 triggered an impairment analysis of the investment in the property.  The fair value of the property, based on an independent appraisal, had deteriorated below the value of the outstanding mortgage and therefore the fair value of the asset group was determined to be zero. Accordingly, a write down of the property of $1,619,163 was recognized in 2008. An impairment charge for the remaining balance of $7,602,529 was recognized in the year ending September 30, 2009. The impairment was offset by the derecognition of the promissory note to the same value upon the foreclosure of the property.

Travel Industry Overview

The Company presently operates in the leisure travel marketplace and is anticipating entering the market for other Leisure Lifestyle opportunities. The advances of technology and in particular proliferation of the Internet combined with an aging population have had the most creative effect on all areas of the Leisure Lifestyle industry. The Company believes these trends will continue in the future.

The travel industry has been challenged by a variety of negative drivers in the new millennium, including slowed economic growth, advances in technology and dramatically heightened concerns about security, war, terrorism, and disease. Between 2000 and 2003, domestic business travel fell by 15%, airline travel by 14%, and international travel to the U.S. was down by 21%. Since 2003, however, virtually all sectors of the travel industry have experienced growth. In late 2008 and in 2009, the economic meltdown along with restricted travel over swine flu fears and stiffer border policies between Canada and the U.S. caused tourism spending to drop dramatically.

Tourism spending in Canada fell 0.8 percent in the second quarter of 2009 bringing the total decline to 2.9 per cent over the last 4 quarters according to Statistics Canada. The four-quarter decline marks the longest Canadian downturn in tourism numbers since the early 1990’s.

For its existing travel operations, the Company plans to achieve continued growth of its travel club memberships through four key areas:

1) Licensing Snowbird vacation travel club sales and marketing operations, acquisition of existing travel clubs, entering the Internet marketing marketplace to promote memberships.

2) Diversification of its travel services to include varying types of travel products including marine products.

3) Affiliating with existing affinity groups to provide travel service to their memberships.

13


4) Increasing membership based operations in the active lifestyles market of health clubs or other “resort Lifestyle” offerings.

Each facet of the Company’s travel and membership based developments are interconnected. With growth in membership the Company’s requirements for inventory and vacation options increases. For the Company’s membership operations, the primary goal is to increase memberships by marketing, its secondary goal being to increase the number of product offerings available to its members for vacations, and its tertiary goal being to successfully expand its entrance into the Life Settlement market. The Company believes promoting the “Resort Lifestyle” concept in desirable options with value pricing are foundations for growth of its membership based operations.

Charter Cruises

The Company owns and has recently completed the rebuild on its, 120 foot passenger carrying motor vessel MV Spirit of Two-Thousand-and-Ten. The vessel is for charter cruises to the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Baja Mexico in addition to day and evening dinner cruises from its home port in Vancouver, B.C. Approximately 40% of the custom yacht cruise market are full yacht charters by a single entity for a corporate retreat, corporate awards program and family retreats etc. Charters will be available to the general public in addition to the existing travel club membership. The Company is beginning the marketing and promotion too many tourism based organizations and has a web site www.spirityachtcharters.com to present the vessel and provide an overview of the yacht offering.

The Company had established an initial construction credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services for up to $3 million USD which had provided funding for the project. The Company subsequently had the credit facility increased to $4.3 million USD in spring of 2007. The construction loan has been converted to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD with an interest rate of 7%. The Company spent $2,949,292 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, $1,959,858 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 and another $288,746 to December 31, 2009.

Life Settlements

In 2005, Forum began to investigate the business opportunities in the secondary Life Insurance market also known as “Life Settlements”. The Company has entered into the business of purchasing life insurance policies from consumers actively interested in selling their policies. Forum has invested by purchasing a beneficial interest in Life Insurance policies issued in the Unites States sold by the policy holders with life expectancies of 6 to 15 years. The Company has becomes the irrevocable beneficiary of these policies.

direction and the allocation of resources. The Company is currently sourcing Life Settlement policies through “Business to Business” (B2B) Channels and expects to launch a “Business to Consumer” (B2C) Channel.

The Company uses an industry standard Milliman Report (consultants for the health care insurance industry) along with recent purchases and sales of similar life insurance policies, financial standing of the insurer, changes in general economic conditions, standard, actuarially developed mortality tables and industry life expectancy reports to determine an acceptable purchase price. In fiscal 2008, the Company entered the Life Settlement industry with the initial purchase of $30,930 thousand USD face value of Life Insurance policies. The Company paid $1,788,567 ($1,742,817 USD) which was funded by the recent Private Placements completed by the Company in July of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008 a $5 Million USD policy matured resulting in a portfolio face value of $25,930 thousand USD at a cost of $1,548,070 ($1,506,473 USD) at the end of the financial year.

Life Settlement Industry Overview

Following the theme of older adults and the growth of the group as a percentage of the population, the Company is entering the Life Settlement market. The exact size of the market is difficult to accurately quantify. In 2005, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC, a research unit of Alliance Bernstein L.P. estimated the market to be approximately $13 billion in face value of policies purchased from 1998 through 2005. Data from the American Council of Life Insurers shows that the voluntary termination rates for individual policies has dropped steadily from 6.6% in 2002 to 5.1% in 2007.  Because the decline in the lapse rate coincides with the increasing number of reported life settlement transactions, we believe this indicates that more policyholders are choosing to sell their policies in life settlement transactions rather than voluntarily terminating these policies.  We also believe this corroborates predictions that the life settlement market will continue to grow in size as these transactions become more familiar to policyholders.

The growth is expected to continue in the next few decades with the increase in the number of older Americans. American seniors consider selling their policies in the secondary Life Settlement market for a variety of reasons including:

Living Longer… Seniors must have more liquid capital during retirement to support themselves. Additionally, parents of seniors are also living longer which some will have to financially support.

Income… Many companies have encountered financial trouble and therefore pensions have been reduced or wiped out. In 2003, 1,197 companies eliminated their pensions reported the American Federation of Labor jeopardizing the retirement of thousands who presumed these funds were guaranteed.

Debt Crisis… Many seniors do not adequately save or plan financially for retirement. USA Today, Jan/07 “seniors are becoming the face of the indebted and the fastest population group seeking bankruptcy, many are having extreme difficulty paying mortgage, food and medical costs… we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg”.

Social Security in Trouble… A looming large risk for seniors is government social security -- a critical source of income – which could go bankrupt and not be able to support the growing seniors market. At a minimum, social security benefit payments are estimated to be reduced.

Skyrocketing Medical Costs… As reported in Business Week “Seniors Pushing Medicaid to Breaking Point” (Feb/05) “as 70 million baby boomers age, their demand for care threatens to crush Medicaid”. In 2004 alone, medical insurance payments, co-pays and deductibles increased 40%. Medical costs are estimated to continue to rise and fixed income seniors will have to find some way to pay for this large, unbudgeted but essential cost of retirement.

The Company recognizes that it needs to be innovative and pioneer new avenues for business development. A key to the Company’s future development is the expansion and retention of its existing Travel Club membership base,

15


adding other “Membership” based service and or product offerings to specific demographic groups. Additionally new opportunities have encouraged the Company to expand and position itself for entry into the Life Settlement market.

Government Regulations

On September 30, 2008 the Canadian governments “no call registry” went into effect. The new law allows consumers who do not wish to be “solicited” and receive telemarketing calls to register on the federal government’s nationwide list. The “no call list” is receiving millions of registrants. A similar law was enacted in the United States on October 1, 2003. These regulation effect the Companies historical method of direct marketing to consumers of its travel products.

In the 1990’s with the growth of the Life Settlement industry various states introduced legislation. The state legislative actions were designed to introduce consumer protection type regulations for policy holders and purchasers while the federal government with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeks to regulate the market for the protection of a purchaser. Many states require the licensing of life settlement brokers and providers, mandate disclosures to sellers or purchasers or both, require periodic reporting requirements, and set forth prohibited business practices. It is anticipated within the next 5 years that all states will have some form of regulation governing commerce in the Life Settlement industry.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission treat Life Settlements as securities under state and federal securities law when viewed as a structured product. No state federal or regulatory body or private litigant has successfully asserted that our settlements transactions are under state or federal law. As the purchaser or possible seller of policies we represent that we are a sophisticated individual and have diminutive needs for protection afforded by securities laws. We have utilized some exceptions and exemptions in conducting our life settlement transactions.

The insurance industry is highly regulated. The Company is not required to be licensed as an insurance company or insurance broker as the Company does not issue policies. Regulations that cover policy terms, premium payment, transferability, and receipt of policy benefits could adversely affect the secondary market for life settlements in which the company operates.

There can be no assurance that unforeseen developments or introduction of legislation, laws, and other factors in Consumer, Securities or Insurance regulations at Federal or State level will not alter the Company’s ability to achieve it growth targets for marketing and selling Travel Club programs or entering and operating in the Life Settlement market.

ITEM V. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and period ended September 30, 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and the period ended September 30, 2007. Except as otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts contained in this discussion and analysis and the Consolidated Financial Statements are in Canadian dollars. The financial information presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada. Note 22 of these Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company set forth the material differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

17


A) OPERATING RESULTS

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements requires that we adopt and follow certain accounting policies. Amounts presented in the financial statements have been determined in accordance with such policies, certain of which incorporate estimates and assumptions. Although management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ.

The detailed accounting policies are listed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2009. Included below is a discussion of the accounting policies that are affected by the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements, how such policies are applied and how results differing from the estimates and assumptions would affect the amounts presented in the financial statements. Other accounting policies also have a significant effect on our financial statements, and some of these policies also require the use of estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from yacht charter operations and the sale of memberships and dues. In accordance with CICA HB 3400, Revenue, the portion of revenue received from members, which entitles members to use the Company’s vacation and travel club privileges at a future date, is deferred and recognized in income evenly over the term of the member’s entitlements. For lifetime memberships, revenue is recognized over a period of five years, which is management’s best estimate of the period over which performance will be required.  Gains from matured life insurance policies and revaluation of life settlement investments are recorded as Other Income and are excluded from Operating Income.

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the life settlement industry. The Company records investments in the life settlement contracts at fair value on each balance sheet date. Any changes to fair value will be recognized in the Other Income in the period in which the changes occur. Gains from matured life insurance policies and revaluation of life settlement investments are recorded as Other Income and are excluded from Operating Income.

Impairments of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of a long-lived asset intended for use exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is expected from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value.

Accounts Receivable

The Company generates a portion of revenue and related accounts receivable from travel memberships. Management evaluates the collectability of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve for bad debts against amounts due is recorded to reduce the recognized receivable to the net amount we reasonably believe will be collected. For all other customers, reserves are recognized for bad debts based on past write-off history and the length of time the receivables are past due.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who

18


are under no compulsion to act. Fair values of financial instruments are based on independent prices quoted in active markets. In the absence of an active market, fair values are determined based on valuation models such as discounted cash flows, which require the use of assumptions concerning the amount of timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. Subsequent measurement depends on management’s classification of the financial assets as held-for-trading, available –for-sale, held-to-maturity or loans and receivables, and financial liabilities as held-for-trading or other liabilities. The classification of financial instruments depends on the nature of and the purpose of the financial instruments, management’s choice and in some circumstances, management’s intentions.

Held-for-trading

Financial instruments classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recognized each reporting period through interest and financing costs, net on the consolidated statement of earnings.

Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value with the unrealized changes in fair value recorded each reporting period in OCI. Investments in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale do not have the quoted price in an active market are recorded at cost. Each reporting period, available-for-sale assets are written down to fair value through interest and financing costs, net on the consolidated statement of earnings to reflect impairments that are considered to be other than temporary.

Held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other liabilities

Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method

The following table summarizes the Company’s selected financial instrument classifications based on its intentions:

Financial instrument Classification
   
Cash and cash equivalents Held-for-trading
Funds held in trust Held-for-trading
Short-term deposits Held-to-maturity
Marketable securities Held-for-trading
Amounts and notes receivable Loans and receivables
Life settlement contract receivable Loans and receivables
Other receivables and related party advance Loans and receivables
Investment in life settlement contracts Held for trading
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Other liabilities
Accounts payable - other Other liabilities
Convertible debentures Other liabilities
Secured borrowings and due to broker Other liabilities
Promissory note payable Other liabilities
Long term debt Other liabilities
Loan from related parties Other liabilities

In 2007 a net loss of $2,500,922 occurred for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 due largely as result of the stock-based compensation charges $2,944,536 included in wage expenses, from issuance of stock options during the fiscal period. Basic loss-per-share were $0.13 for the year ended September 30, 2009 compared to loss per share of $0.02 for the year ended September 30, 2008; $0.11 – for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Basic earnings-per-share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and assumes conversion of all outstanding Series “B” Preference convertible shares.

The largest expense increase was amortization of property and equipment to $406,785 (2008 - $86,078, 2007 - $68,106) due to the completion of the 120 foot Motor Vessel and the corresponding beginning of amortization.

B) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2009 the Company had in excess of $1,134,398 cash on deposit.

In 2009, the working capital deficit decreased $7,189,600 to a surplus of $817,711 primarily due to settlement of debt for shares made in the acquisition of Family Vacation Centers, and the foreclosure of the property within Colorado River Resorts LLC, in full settlement of the promissory note payable.

In 2008, the working capital surplus decreased $13,904,188 to a deficit of ($6,371,889) primarily due to investments made in Life Settlements, Family Vacation Centers and the corresponding short term obligations for the Colorado River property investment.

In 2007, the working capital surplus increased to $ 7,532,298. During the summer of 2007 the Company completed two private placements raising an aggregate total of $9 million USD and correspondingly issued 14,500,000 restricted common shares of the company. The terms of these private placements were as follows:

(i) On June 29, 2007, the Company completed a private placement and issued 11,000,000 common shares of the Company at US $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $5,773,918 (US $5,500,000).

(ii) On July 4, 2007, the Company completed a private placement and issued 3,500,000 common shares at US $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $3,650,396 (US $3,500,000).  

The Company continues to operate its travel club operations by continuously adjusting its operations accordingly and plans to generate sufficient operating capital for operations in the short-term. For rapid long-term growth specifically the development of the Life Settlement operations additional capital is required. The Company’s 120-foot motor vessel is completed its refit and the vessel is anticipated to contributed to revenue in fiscal 2010.

Financing the work on the vessel to date has been from operations, a credit facility from Caterpillar Financial Services, and funds raised. The credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation was created in September of 2005 for $3.0 million USD. This credit facility was subsequently increased to a total of $4.3 million USD in spring of 2007. The construction loan has been converted to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD with an interest rate of 7%. The Company spent $2,949,292 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, $2,107,677 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 and another $288,746 to December 31, 2009. The Company does not currently hedge against foreign exchange or interest rate fluctuations.

The Company’s total Revenues for the year ended September 30, 2009 increased by $23,404 to $3,740,558, the increase was the result of the initial operations of Spirit Yacht Charters, generating revenue of $175,331. Life settlement income was recorded under “Other Income”, totaling $775,207 ($5,447,464 for the year ended September 30, 2008; $Nil for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

Capital Resources

The Company's capital resources are comprised primarily of financial institutions and private investors (including members of management) who are either existing contacts of the Company's management, or who came to the attention of the Company through brokers, financial institutions and other intermediaries.

For the year ended September 30, 2009, cash flow used in operations increased $19,629 or 3% to $672,440 due to an increase in revenue and expenses due to acquisition of Family Vacation Centers, compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $652,811 for the year ended September 30, 2008 and cash flows used in operating activities of $233,529 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

22


Financing the work on the vessel to date has been from operations, a credit facility from Caterpillar Financial Services, and funds raised. The credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation was created in September of 2005 for $3.0 million USD. This credit facility was subsequently increased to a total of $4.3 million USD in spring of 2007. The construction loan has been converted to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD with an interest rate of 7%. The Company spent $2,949,292 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, $2,107,677 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 and another $288,746 to December 31, 2009. The Company does not currently hedge against foreign exchange or interest rate fluctuations.

The Company estimates that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements for at least the next year. However, its forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to delay, scale back on some planned initiatives.

The Company's access to capital is always dependent upon general financial market conditions. Because of the nature of the Company's business, there are no trends in the nature of its capital resources that could be considered predictable. To date, the Company's capital resources have consisted of the private issuance of common shares, convertible securities and a credit facility from Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments. The exposure to market risk is limited to interest and exchange rate sensitivity. The Company’s long term debt is denominated in US dollars with a fixed interest rate of 7%. The Company is therefore affected by changes in the Canadian dollar exchange rate. The primary strategy of the Company’s borrowing activities was to preserve principal by keeping funds in US dollars and converting to Canadian dollars when required. Given the fluctuation of the US Dollar for the year ended September 30, 2009 the Company did not receive any additional earnings related to exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not currently hedge against either foreign exchange.

C) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

The Company’s has expended no material research and development expenses for the last three fiscal years.

D) TREND INFORMATION

The Company’s historical business is providing travel services for the members of its travel clubs. A travel club membership entitles the member to access discount travel at rates marginally above the cost to the travel agency as well as vacation condominium rentals at discount rates. The Company is affected by the sales and marketing trends and uncertainties in the leisure-travel business. The Company can give no assurances that licensed marketing efforts or Internet marketing efforts will be successful in the future. In the alternative the Company is actively investigating other non-traditional marketing strategies that differ from the previous historical model the Company operated within.

On October 18, 2007, the Company purchased the notes receivable and vacation club memberships of Family Vacation Centers from an Ontario based Company for consideration of $3,052,866 in cash and stock. The Company marketed the Family Vacation Centers membership from its Burlington Ontario location until July 4, 2008 at which time a decision was made to cease marketing and sales operations from its Burlington Ontario office citing the downturn in the economic climate.

The Company's historical core growth depends in part, upon the continuing sales and marketing of its Travel Club products. If the Company is unable to secure an Operator, is unable to contract a Licensee, or implement other Internet marketing efforts, its ability to effectively grow and expand its business could be impaired. In addition to securing an Operator or contracting a Licensee, the Company’s traditional growth has been dependent upon the success of these entities operations.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company has 9,143 active family memberships, with 8,213 current and 930 in arrears in monthly membership dues or payments. During the last fiscal year the unit volume of new memberships of its vacation Travel Club memberships for the year ended September 30, 2009 was 95, compared to the year ended September 30, 2008 – 1,030, and year ended September 30, 2007 – 275 memberships. The mean average sales price of a membership sold during the year ended September 30, 2009 decrease to $Nil compared with $3,196 in year ended September 30, 2008 and $2,996 in year ended September 30, 2007. The Company is unable to project with accuracy sales totals for the period September 30, 2010. The Company is not marketing membership at that time. The Company is anticipating the launch of an Internet marketing effort but is unproven as of yet to the Company. Sales totals for the year ended September 30, 2009 were $Nil and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 they were $2,400,019 with the year ended September 30, 2007 been $739,788.

With the wind down of Family Vacation Centers marketing operations, the operating costs of the company decreased for the year ended September 30, 2009 to $5,901,087 compared to the year ended September 30, 2008 - $6,762,775, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 - $5,333,171. The 13% decrease or $883,358 is a direct result of the inclusion of Family Vacation Centers operating costs during the prior fiscal year.

In addition to the core travel business the Company has entered the Life Settlement market. The Company believes successful development and capture of market share in this capital intensive emerging industry will dominate the future Company direction and the allocation of resources.

The Company is currently sourcing Life Settlement policies through “Business to Business” (B2B) Channels and expects to launch a “Business to Consumer” (B2C) Channel subject to funding. To operate the “Business to Consumer” (B2C) Channel, the Company formed “American Life Settlement Society LLC” duly formed under the laws of the state of Delaware on the 15th day of November 2007.

The Company uses an industry standard Milliman Report (consultants for the health care insurance industry) along with recent purchases and sales of similar life insurance policies, financial standing of the insurer, changes in general economic conditions, standard, actuarially developed VBT mortality tables, industry life expectancy reports and CDC reports on nationwide mortality statistics to determine an acceptable purchase price. In fiscal 2008, the Company entered the Life Settlement industry with the initial purchase of $30,930 thousand USD face value of Life Insurance policies. The Company paid $1,788,567 ($1,742,817 USD) which was funded by the recent Private Placements completed by the Company in July of 2007. During the third quarter of 2008 a $5 Million USD policy matured resulting in a portfolio face value of $25,930 thousand USD at a cost of $1,548,070 ($1,506,473 USD) at the end of the 2008 financial year.

With the investments in Life Settlement in fiscal 2009, gains for the fiscal period amounted to $775,207 and  capitalizing operating costs of policies for the fiscal period in the amount of $Nil. The Company projects revenue for fiscal 2010 to approximate the 2009 income from Life Settlements without an early policy maturity.

To expand beyond is present financial capabilities in the Life Settlement market and other business ventures, additional financing will be sought. There can be no assurances the Company will be able to generate sufficient investment from borrowing, the sale of equity, or a combination thereof to rapidly grow its life Settlement division. If additional financing is required, there is no certainty it will be available when and to the extent required or that if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to grow and expand its business at an accelerated rate. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's planned growth. This and other risks related to operating in the Life Settlement industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and planned growth. (See Item 3 Risk factors, The Company May Require Additional Capital).

The Company has completed the rebuild on its 120 feet motor vessel MV Spirit of Two Thousand and Ten. The Company had established an initial construction credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services for up to $3 million USD which had provided funding for the project. The Company subsequently had the credit facility increased to $4.3 million USD in spring of 2007. The construction loan has been converted to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD at a fixed interest rate of 7% per annum. The Company spent $2,949,292 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, $2,107,677 in fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 and another $288,746 to December 31, 2009.

The Company is beginning the marketing and promotion too many tourism based organizations and has a web site www.spirityachtcharters.com to present the vessel and provide an overview of the yacht offering. As a new business venture the Company generated $175,331 charter revenue from the marketing of the yacht in fiscal 2009 and is unable at this time to accurately project any revenue amounts to be generated in 2010 season.

The Company believes the existing travel club membership will have minimal growth if any while projecting some growth in revenue from charter sales operations. The corporate growth is anticipated to arise from development and implementation of its business plan for the Life Settlement market.

Since the Company is a Canadian corporation and the officers, directors and certain of the persons involved with the Company as professional advisors are resident in Canada, it may be difficult to effect service within the United States upon such persons or to realize on any judgment by a court of the United States which is predicated on civil liabilities under the 1933 Act. The Company's Canadian counsel have advised that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or through enforcement of United States judgments, of liabilities predicated solely upon violations of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated there under.

Under the provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act, the Company has the power and capacity of a natural person, there are no restrictions in the Company’s Articles of Continuance, on the business that the Company can carry on nor on the powers the Company can exercise.

2. Article 4.19 of the Company’s Articles sets out the circumstances whereby a director must not vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the director is materially interested, Article 4.20 sets out the directors’ powers to determine their compensation, Part 3 of the Company’s Articles outlines the Company’s borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and Article 4.2 sets out that no shares are required to be held for director’s qualification.

3. Article 9 of the Company’s Articles of Continuance sets out two class of shares: unlimited number of common shares without par value and unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.  Two series of preferred shares have been designated Series “A Convertible Preferred Shares and Series “B” Convertible Preferred Shares.

34


Article 10 of the Company’s Articles of Continuance  sets out the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions (if any) attaching to each class of shares and directors’ authority with respect to any class of shares which may be issued in series.  The Company’s common shares rank equally as to dividend rights, voting rights, rights to share in the Company’s profits and liquidation rights. The Company’s common shares are not, under the Company’s memorandum and articles, subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions, liability to further capital calls, nor any provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of such shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

C) MATERIAL CONTRACTS  

Additionally the Company originally intended to acquire a 25% interest in a mixed use development property in Needles California for US$1,000,000. The 22 acre property with 850 feet of waterfront on the Colorado River has a marina with a 20,000 square foot storage facility for marine based activity. As the property is developed to various stages differing options to include condo / townhomes for either full ownership, fractional ownership of timeshare intervals will be explored. The Canadian travel club membership would be offered a product in a southern United States location that has an extended season of favorable weather conditions. Subsequent to fiscal year end 2008, the Company discovered that the investee had failed to raise the additional capital as planned. As a result, the ownership interest actually acquired by the Company was 54% instead of 25% as originally intended. Accordingly, the Company has restated the presentation of its investment to consolidate the net assets of Colorado River Resorts LLC (the “LLC”) as of September 30, 2008. .  Subsequent to the initial investment, the LLC entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire the development property. The deterioration of the real estate market in the southern United States by the end of fiscal 2008 triggered an impairment analysis of the investment in the property.  The fair value of the property, based on an independent appraisal, had deteriorated below the value of the outstanding mortgage and therefore the fair value of the asset group was determined to be zero. Accordingly, a write down of the property of $1,619,163 was recognized in 2008. 

In September of 2005, the Company secured a credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services for up to $3 million USD. The Company subsequently had the credit facility increased to an amount of $4.3 million USD. Subsequent to fiscal year end September 30, 2008 the Company converted its construction loan facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation to a 5 year term loan facility of $5 million USD at a fixed APR rate of 7% with an 18 year amortization. The Company does not currently hedge against foreign exchange or interest rate fluctuations.

D) EXCHANGE CONTROLS

There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada restricting the import or export of capital or affecting the remittance to the United States of interest, dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of our shares. However, the payment or crediting of interest or dividends to United States residents may be subject to applicable withholding taxes at a rate prescribed by the Income Tax Act (Canada) and modified by the provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (see commentary in the section entitled “Taxation” below).

Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “ICA”), there are no limitations under the laws of Canada, the Province of Ontario or in our Memorandum or Articles on the right of foreigners to hold and/or vote the shares of our capital stock.

The ICA has application where a “non-Canadian” individual or entity or controlled group of entities proposes to make an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, either directly or indirectly, by way of purchase of voting shares of a corporation or of substantially all of the assets used in the Canadian business enterprise. An investment to acquire voting shares of a corporation is deemed to be an acquisition of control where more than one-half of the voting shares are acquired. An acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of a corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control and an acquisition of between one-third and one-half of the voting shares of a corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control unless it can be established that the acquisition does not in fact result in control of the corporation by the investor.

36


An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, the gross assets of which exceed certain thresholds, must be reviewed and approved under the ICA before implementation. An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business enterprise, the gross asset value of which falls below these threshold amounts, is one in respect of which notification must be given under the ICA although approval is not required prior to implementation of the investment.

Specific investment thresholds apply to investors of the United States. The investment threshold for a direct acquisition of control has been established at Cdn$250 million for 2005 and no review is required for an indirect acquisition of control. Each year the direct acquisition investment threshold is adjusted for inflation.

E) TAXATION

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

Through consultation with counsel, our management believes that the following general summary accurately describes all material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who is a resident of the United States, that qualifies for benefits under the Canada-United States Convention (1980), as amended (the “Treaty”) and who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of us in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "non-resident holder").

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "ITA"), the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of Canada, Customs and Revenue Agency and all specific proposals (the "Tax Proposals") to amend the ITA and Regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof.  This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their form as of the date of this Annual Report.  This description, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, government or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

Dividends

Dividends paid on our common shares to a non-resident holder will be subject to withholding tax.  The Treaty provides that the normal 25% withholding tax rate under the ITA is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a corporation resident in Canada (such as our company) to beneficial owners of the dividends who are residents of the United States, and may also provide for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation that is a resident of the United States which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend.  

No dividends have ever been paid by us.

Capital Gains

Under the ITA, a taxpayer's capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of our company is the amount, if any, by which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  One half of a capital gain (the "taxable capital gain") is included in income, and one half of a capital loss in a year (the "allowable capital loss") is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  The amount by which a shareholder's allowable capital loss exceeds his taxable capital gains in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a public corporation unless the share represents "taxable Canadian property" to the holder thereof.  We are a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of our company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder if, at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm's length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm's length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of our shares.  Our shares may also be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the holder acquired them pursuant to certain tax-deferred "rollover" transactions whereby the holder exchanged property that was taxable Canadian property for our shares.

37


Where a non-resident holder who is an individual ceased to be resident in Canada, he will be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on disposition of our shares at that time.  

Where a non-resident holder realizes a capital gain on a disposition of our shares that constitute taxable Canadian property, the Treaty relieves the non-resident shareholder from liability for Canadian tax on such capital gains unless:

 (a) the non-resident holder is an individual who was resident in Canada for not less than 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be resident in Canada or are property substituted for property that was owned at that time, or

(b) the shares formed part of the business property of a "permanent establishment" or pertained to a fixed base used for the purpose of performing independent personal services that the shareholder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares by a U.S. Holder (as hereinafter defined).  This discussion does not address all potentially relevant federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder.  In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the specific federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to them of acquiring, holding and disposing of our common shares, based upon their individual circumstances.

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

U.S. Holders

As used in this annual report, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of our common shares who is (i) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (ii) corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia), (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if such trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if (1) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and (2) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust.   This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and the term U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to specific provisions of federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services.  This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and who own (directly and indirectly, pursuant to applicable rules of constructive ownership) no more than 10% of the value of our total outstanding stock.  This summary does not address the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares. 

38


If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner should consult its own tax advisors as to the U.S. tax consequences of being a partner in a partnership that acquires, holds, or disposes of our common shares.

Distributions on Our Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company,” U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to our common shares generally are required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions (without reduction of any Canadian income or other tax withheld from such distributions), equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below). Dividends paid on our common shares will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain U.S. corporations.

For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts from “qualified foreign corporations,” as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, generally are taxed at the same preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains. Although not free from doubt, it appears that we are a “qualified foreign corporation,” as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code if we are not, and have not been, a PFIC, as described below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company.” We have not determined whether or not we meet the definition of a PFIC for the current tax year and any prior tax years. A corporation that is a PFIC, along with other foreign corporations given special status under the Code, for its taxable year during which it pays a dividend, or for its immediately preceding taxable year, will not be treated as a “qualifying foreign corporation” and dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt.  Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.

Disposition of Our Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company,” U.S. Holders will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of our common shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in our common shares.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts.  In general, gain or loss on the sale of our common shares will be long-term capital gain or loss if our common shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder and are held for more than one year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.

39


Passive Foreign Investment Company

We have not determined whether or not we meet the definition of PFIC, within the meaning of Sections 1291 through 1298 of the Code for the current tax year and any prior tax years.  We may or may not qualify as a PFIC in subsequent years due to changes in our assets and business operations.  A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to numerous special U.S. federal income taxation rules.  The following is a discussion of these special rules as they apply to U.S. Holders of our common shares.  

Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the U.S. if, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income,” which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the corporation is not publicly traded and either is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more.

U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to a special tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of U.S. tax attributable to undistributed earnings of a PFIC for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned.  This special tax would apply to any gain realized on the disposition of shares of a PFIC.  In addition, the gain is subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income, taxed at top marginal rates, rather than as capital gain income.  The special tax would also be payable on receipt of excess distributions (any distributions received in the current year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the 3 preceding years or, if shorter, the shareholder’s holding period).  However, if the U.S. Holder makes for any tax year a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) with respect to such shareholder’s interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply.  Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.  Generally, shareholders do not make a QEF election unless they have sufficient information to determine their proportionate share of a corporation’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings. We have not calculated these amounts for any shareholder, and do not anticipate making these calculations in the foreseeable future. Therefore, U.S. Holders of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the QEF election before making this election.   

U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”).  If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A U.S. Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our common shares as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our common shares included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) our common shares and we are a PFIC (“Non-Electing U.S. Holder”) over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election.  A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases, the basis of our common shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized.  A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed above) would not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations and transfers at death.  The transferee’s basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the common shares are transferred.  Each U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

40


The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex.  U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.  

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares  may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such foreign tax paid or withheld. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income including “passive category income” and “general category income.”  Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be treated as “U.S. source” for purposes of applying the foreign tax credit rules.  Dividends received by U.S. Holders on our common shares generally will be treated as “foreign source” and generally will be categorized as “passive income” for purposes of applying the foreign tax credit rules.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations with respect to the foreign tax credit are fact specific, and each U.S. Holder of our common shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Cont rolled Foreign Corporation

If more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., U.S. partnerships or corporations, or U.S. estates or trusts (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of the our outstanding shares (each a “10% Shareholder”), we could be treated as a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (“CFC”) under Section 957 of the Code.

Our classification as a CFC would effect many complex results, including that 10% Shareholders would generally (i) be treated as having received a current distribution of our “Subpart F income” and (ii) would also be subject to current U.S. federal income tax on their pro rata share of our earnings invested in “U.S. property.” The foreign tax credit may reduce the U.S. federal income tax on these amounts for such 10% Shareholders (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” above). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares by a U.S. Holder that is or was a 10% Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale is treated as a dividend to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the common shares sold or exchanged.

If we are classified as both a PFIC and a CFC, we generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to 10% Shareholders. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of 10% Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for its taxable years ending with or within such taxable years of 10% Shareholders.

We have not determined whether we meet the definition of a CFC, and there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.

The CFC rules are very complicated, and U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the CFC rules and how these rules may impact their U.S. federal income tax situation.

41


Information Reporting; Backup Withholding

Certain information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply with respect to certain payments related to our common shares.  In particular, a payor or middleman within the U.S., or in certain cases outside the U.S., will be required to withhold at a current rate of 28% (which rate is scheduled for periodic adjustment) of any payments to a U.S. Holder regarding dividends paid by us, or proceeds from the sale of, such common shares within the U.S., if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9) or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding tax requirements.   Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.  We do not assume responsibility for the withholding of tax at source.  U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules applicable to our common shares.

ITEM XI. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Other than described below, we are not a party to any market risk sensitive instruments other than instruments evidencing interest-bearing debt obligations as described in “Item 4 – History and Development of the Company, Material Events” and in Note 5 and Note 12 to our audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008 entitled “Financial Instruments” and “Long Term Debt”, respectively.

Financial instruments

42


               Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities corresponds to their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value based upon the discount rates applied.

               Concentration of credit risk

We grant credit to our members in the normal course of our sales and marketing of travel club memberships. The financial statements take into account an allowance for bad debts. Receivables from the proceeds of our Life Settlement operations are substantial. At September 30, 2008, one Life Settlement maturity represented 91% of total receivables.

               Interest rate risk

The Company has no short term bank credit facilities. Our long term debt bears interest at a fixed rate. This is described in further detail in “Item 4 – History and Development of the Company” of this annual report and in Note 13 to our financial statements. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

               Foreign exchange rate risk

A majority of our revenues are earned and premium costs incurred in the United States. However, certain selling, general and administration costs are incurred in Canada and we are therefore subject to risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates. We do not use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

ITEM XII. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

This Form 20-F is being filed as an Annual Report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide any information under this section.

PART II

ITEM XIII. DEFAULTS, DIVIDENDS, ARREARS AND DELINQUENCIES

There has not been a material default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking fund or purchase fund installment, or any other material default not cured within thirty days, relating to indebtedness of the Company. There are no payments of dividend by the Company in arrears, nor has there been any other material delinquency relating to any class of preference shares of the Company.

ITEM XIV. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the Company’s AGM on June 26, 2008, shareholders were asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass with or without variation, a special resolution to approve an amendment to Article No. 10.3 of the Corporation to increase the quorum requirement for shareholders meetings to 2 shareholders in person or by proxy representing not less than 33.33% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. The resolution was passed and the directors have yet to enact an Amendment.

43


USE OF PROCEEDS

This Form 20-F is being filed as an Annual Report under the Exchange Act and, as such, there is no requirement to provide any information under this section.

ITEM XV. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company reevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date (the “Evaluation Date”) being September 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation these officers have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F/A, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective and were not adequate to insure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. Based on that assessment, our management concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control relating to our controls over financial reporting, Specifically, the design of controls over the preparation and review of consolidated financial information was not sufficient to enable the Company to file these consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 in a timely manner.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REMEDIATION STEPS TO ADDRESS MATERIAL WEAKNESS

Management has dedicated significant resources to correct the previous accounting error relating to our revenue recognition policy and to ensure that we take proper steps to improve our internal controls and remedy our material weakness in our financial reporting and disclosure controls. Management is committed to implementing effective control policies and procedures and will continually update our Audit Committee as to the progress and status of our remediation efforts to ensure that they are adequately implemented. We believe the following actions we have taken and are taking will be sufficient to remediate the material weakness described above:

44


  • conduct a full review of our accounting methodology for revenue recognition policy;
  • assess the technical accounting capabilities of the accounting and finance departments to ensure the proper knowledge, skills, and training; and
  • finance and accounting personnel to attend training sessions, covering relevant topics, which include revenue recognition and related accounting concepts.

Management believes that the actions described above will remediate the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We expect that the material weakness will be fully remediated prior to September 30, 2009 year end. As we improve our internal control over financial reporting and implement remediation measures, we may supplement or modify the remediation measures described above. Further, we believe that, as a result of management’s in-depth review of its accounting processes, the utilization of external resources and the additional procedures management has implemented, there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this Form 20-F and, to the best of our knowledge, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this Form 20-F fairly present in all material aspects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Forum in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM XVI. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Company has an Audit Committee established by the Board of Directors. Our board has determined that we have a financial expert serving on our audit committee as defined by Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act.

We believe that the combined knowledge, skills and experience of the members of our Audit Committee enables them, as a group, to act effectively in the fulfillment of their tasks and responsibilities, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Michael Barrett is chairman of the audit committee and is a member who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer, controller and other persons performing similar functions. Our code of ethics complies with the SEC rules. The code of ethics addresses the following:

  • Honest and ethical conduct, including handling of corporate opportunities and conflicts of interest;
  • Full, fair, accurate, timely and quality public disclosure filed with the SEC and otherwise publicly made by us;
  • Compliance with applicable the laws and regulations;
  • Prompt internal reporting of violations of the code of ethics; and
  • Accountability for adherence to the code of ethics.

There have been no waivers to the code of ethics as of the date of this report

The Audit Committee has adopted procedures requiring Audit Committee review and approval in advance of all particular engagements for services to be provided by BDO Canada LLP. Consistent with applicable laws, the procedures permit limited amounts of services, other than audit, review and attest services, to be approved by one or more members of the Audit Committee pursuant to authority delegated by the Audit Committee, provided the Audit Committee is informed of each particular service. The Audit Committee approved all of the engagements and fees during the period ended September 30, 2009. The Audit Committee reviews with BDO Canada LLP whether the non-audit services to be provided are compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence. The Board has determined that, beginning with January 1, 2006, fees paid to the independent auditors for non-audit related services in any year will not exceed the fees paid for audit services during the year. Permissible non-audit services will be limited to fees for tax services, accounting assistance or audits in connection with acquisitions, and other services specifically related to accounting or audit matters such as registration statements filings or private placements or public offerings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FORUM NATIONAL INVESTMENTS LTD.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Forum National Investments Ltd. as at September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 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 approach provides a reasonable basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated operations and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and deficit and cash flows for the nine-month ended September 30, 2007 were audited by other auditors, who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements, before the revision described in note 2(r), in their report dated March 12, 2008, except for note 4(a) which is as of March 2, 2009 and note 4(b) which is as of October 28, 2009. We have audited the adjustments described in note 2(r) that were applied to revise the 2007 consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and deficit and cash flows to reflect the retrospective adoption of revised Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountant Handbook Section 1000, Financial Statement Concepts, In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the 2007 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2007 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR US READERS ON CANADA – US REPORTING DIFFERENCES

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors requires the addition of an explanatory paragraph (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 and by changes in accounting policy, such as those described in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated May 14, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

1. Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

  The Company was incorporated on September 22, 1995 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and commenced operations on that date. On October 2, 1997, the Company was continued under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Effective February 26, 1999, the Company changed its name from Snowbird Vacations International Inc. to inTRAVELnet.com inc. and on April 17, 2002, the Company’s name was changed to Forum National Investments Ltd.
     
  The Company earns income from investments in life settlement contracts, the sale of travel and fitness club memberships and monthly dues from the members of its travel and fitness clubs. As at September 30, 2009, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $22,070,260 and working capital of $817,711. The Company anticipates incurring substantial expenditures to further develop its life settlement and yacht charter lines of business. Although, the Company has cash on hand of $1.8 million and a working capital surplus as at September 30, 2009, the Company’s cash flow from operating activities may not be sufficient to satisfy its obligations as they come due as well as meeting the requirements of its capital investment programs and covenants on its long term debt. These factors cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continued existence of the Company is dependent upon its ability to generate profit from it s life settlement investment and vacation club business to meet its obligations as they become due. If additional cash is needed, the Company intends to finance the future capital required to acquire life settlement contracts and continued operations from a combination of traditional debt and equity markets. However, there is no assurance that (a) traditional debt and equity markets may be accessible as required, or if so, on acceptable terms and, or (b) the demand for and selling prices of the Company’s products, may not be sufficient to meet cash flow expectation. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and therefore the Company may not be able to continue or expand operations as planned. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
     

  (a) Basis of presentation
     
    These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries:

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (a) Basis of presentation (continued)
     
    All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
     
    As described in note 23, Canadian GAAP differs in certain material aspects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).
     
  (b) Revenue recognition
     
    The Company generates revenues from yacht charter operations, and the sale of travel memberships and dues. In accordance with CICA HB 3400, Revenue, the portion of revenue received from members, which entitles members to use the Company’s vacation and travel club privileges at a future date, is deferred and recognized in income evenly over the term of the member’s entitlements.  For lifetime memberships, revenue is recognized over a period of five years, which is management’s best estimate of the period over which performance will be required. Revenue from yacht charter operations is recognized at the time the charters are provided.
     
  (c) Other income
     
    Net gain on life settlement contracts
     
   

During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company entered into the life settlement industry. The Company records investments in the life settlement contracts at fair value on each balance sheet date. Any changes to fair value will be recognized in the statements of operations in the period in which the changes occur. The Company recognizes in other income the difference between the death benefits and the carrying value of the policy when the Company determined that settlement and ultimate collection is reasonably assured.  Other income includes both recognized and un-recognized amounts and is presented net of related costs including premium costs.   

Cash flows relating to the acquisition of the Company’s investments in life settlement contract and premiums are recognized as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. Proceeds from the maturity of a life settlement contract will be shown as cash in-flows from investing activities, with realized gain on maturity of life settlement policies as a reconciling item in the determination of net cash provided by operating activities.

Interest income is recognized as it is received.

Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments and unrealized gains and losses in the value of investments, are reflected in other income and are calculated on an average cost basis. Upon disposal of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed, so as to recognize the full realized gain or loss in the period of disposition.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (d) Stock-based compensation
     
    The Company follows the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA) for stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments. The Company accounts for stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants using the fair value method. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and charged to operations over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus. Upon exercise of the stock options, the consideration received together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus is recorded as an increase to capital stock.  Options that are forfeited or expire that were previously recognized in contributed surplus are recorded as an increase to retained earnings.
     
  (e) Property and equipment
     
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis in order to amortize the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives. For assets constructed internally, amortization is charged once the asset is complete and brought into use.
     
    The annual rates applied are as follows:
       
  Asset Basis Rate
       
  Motor vessels Straight-line 6%
  Vehicles Straight-line 25%
  Vehicles under capital lease Straight-line 33%
  Equipment Straight-line 20%
  Computers Straight-line 30%
  Leasehold improvements Term of lease 5 years

  (f) Intangible assets
     
   

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognized at their fair values apart from goodwill when they arise from either contractual or other rights and may be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or with a group of related assets or liabilities.

Indefinite life intangible assets are subjected to impairment tests on an annual basis or when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. If the carrying value of such assets exceeds the fair values, the assets are written down to fair value.

Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are initially recognized at cost. Once an intangible asset’s expected useful life is determined to no longer be indefinite, it will be amortized over its remaining expected useful life.

The intangible asset under construction is the membership database, will be evaluated to determine the estimated useful life upon completion. The database is expected to be completed and enter service during fiscal 2010.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     

  (f)  Intangibles (continued) 
     
    The membership database acquired in the Family Vacations Centre business acquisition is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the memberships acquired up to a maximum of 5 years.
     
  (g) Foreign currency translation
     
   

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency have been translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income or loss for the period.

Assets and liabilities of self-sustaining operations conducted in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year.  Unrealized gains or losses on translation of self-sustaining operations conducted in foreign currencies are shown as currency translation adjustments, a component of other comprehensive earnings.

The Company’s integrated operations, translate monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transactions.  Gains and losses on translation are included in the income statement. The Company has determined that all of its subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations.

     
  (h) Factoring of note receivables
     
    The Company has entered into arrangements whereby future streams of certain financed membership cash flows are sold to a third party (“Lender”) while the Company is committed to provide the future services under these membership contracts. The Company receives cash proceeds on the sale at a discount to the future proceeds that the Lender is expected to receive from the customers. The Lender has recourse against the Company should the amounts become uncollectible, and the Company establishes a reserve for such amounts. For accounting purposes, the discounted proceeds have been recorded as a liability at the time of the transaction (notes 5 and 19), which is accreted to the gross value through a charge to interest expense over the term of the membership contracts.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (i) Earnings (loss) per share
     
   

Basic earnings-per-share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and assumes conversion of all outstanding Series “B” Preference convertible shares. The Series “B” preferred convertible shares are included in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share because management considers these shares substantially equivalent to common stock. Management believes the Series “B” preferred shares are not “contingently issuable shares” and considers conversion at the option of the Series “B” holder does not constitute a barrier to conversion. Series “B” preferred convertible shares are without par value, are convertible to one common share for each preferred share held, have no rights to dividends, voting, profit sharing, or liquidation.

Series “A” preference convertible shares are not included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Management believes the Series “A” preferred shares are “contingently issuable shares” and considers conditions for conversion of the Series “A” preferred shares to constitute a barrier to conversion as some target performance or event has not been met or occurred.

Under the treasury stock method, diluted earnings (loss)-per-share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the year, adjusted by the total of the additional common shares that would have been outstanding assuming exercise of all stock options and conversion of all Series “A” Preference convertible shares without par value convertible to 50% of the outstanding common shares after conversion. See note 13(b) for calculation of weighted average share outstanding for calculation of diluted earnings per share.

     
  (j) Income taxes
     
    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss carry-forwards. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the substantial enactment date. To the extent that it is more likely than not those future income tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded for the excess.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (k) Impairment of long lived assets
     
    Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets, other than indefinite life intangibles, are not recoverable, the long-lived assets are tested for impairment by comparing the estimate of future expected cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets or groups of assets. If the carrying value is not recoverable from future expected cash flows, any loss is measured as the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds fair value and recorded in the period. Recoverability is assessed relative to undiscounted cash flows from the direct use and disposition of the asset or group of assets.
     
    For assets that are under construction, the Company evaluates recoverability when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Estimates of recoverability are based on undiscounted cash flows that is expected from the use and eventual disposition of the assets or when there is no undiscounted cash flows, the fair value of the asset on the reporting date. When impairment in value is noted, the carrying value of the property and equipment is reduced by a charge to operations.
     
  (l) Use of estimates and measurement uncertainty
     
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP 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. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the valuation of amounts and notes receivable, impairment of assets, including intangible assets, rates for amortization and revenue recognition, balances of accrued liabilities, income taxes provision, valuation allowance for future income tax assets, and the determination of the variables used in the calculation of fair value of life settlement contracts and stock-based compensation. While management believes the estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.
     
  (m) Cash and cash equivalents
     
    Securities with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents, at cost. The securities are highly liquid and can be converted to known amounts of cash at any time, and are held at major financial institutions. Accrued interest on the guaranteed investment certificates, included as cash equivalents, is at the stated interest rate over the term of the instrument and included in amounts receivable.
     
  (n) Comprehensive income
     
    Comprehensive income includes both net earnings and other comprehensive income.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (o) Financial instruments
     
    Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act.
     
   

Subsequent measurement depends on management’s classification of the financial assets as held-for-trading, available –for-sale, held-to-maturity or loans and receivables, and financial liabilities as held-for-trading or other liabilities. The classification of financial instruments depends on the nature of and the purpose of the financial instruments, management’s choice and in some circumstances, management’s intentions.

Held-for-trading

Financial instruments classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recognized each reporting period through interest and financing costs, net on the consolidated statement of earnings.  Transaction costs for held-for-trading financial assets are expensed as incurred.

Available-for-sale

Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value with the unrealized changes in fair value recorded each reporting period in OCI, Investments in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale that do not have the quoted price in an active market are recorded at cost. Each reporting period, available-for-sale assets are written down to fair value through interest and financing costs, net on the consolidated statement of operations to reflect impairments that are considered to be other than temporary.  Transaction costs for available-for-sale financial assets are expensed as incurred.

     
    Held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other liabilities
     
    Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method adding transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or financial liability to the amount.

  (p) Comprehensive income
     
    Comprehensive income includes both net earnings and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) includes holding gains and losses on available for sale investments, gains and losses on certain derivative financial instruments and foreign currency gains and losses relating to self-sustaining foreign operations, all of which are not included in the calculation of net earnings until realized. The Company does not have any comprehensive income items for the periods presented.
     
  (q) Business Segment
     
    The Company operates in one reporting segment, the travel and vacation club.  All of the Company’s operations, assets and employees are located in Canada.
     
    The Company also invests in life settlement contracts in the United States. However, as at September 30, 2009, the life settlement business does not constitute a clearly identifiable business segment.
     
  (r) Adoption of new accounting standards
     
     i.  Financial Instruments – Disclosures – Revised section 3862 

The amendments to CICA HB 3862 expand the disclosures required in respect of fair value measurements and liquidity risk.  The Company has not provided comparative information for these expanded disclosures in the current year in accordance with the transitional relief offered in these amendments.  The result of the expanded disclosures required the Company to identify the degree to which the fair value is observable.  The Company’s analysis is included in Note 5(d).

  (r) Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)

    ii. Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Section 3064 and Financial Statement Concept – Section 1000
   
   

As at October 1, 2008 the Company adopted CICA HB 3064 and the revised HB 1000 on a retrospective basis, with restatement, and as a result has recorded an adjustment of $1,599,590 to deficit previously reported as at September 30, 2008. Whereas previously the Company deferred commission costs related to the sale of travel memberships and amortized these costs straight-line to income over a 5 year term these amounts no longer meet the criteria for asset recognition. The Company also previously capitalized costs relating to the set up of future businesses. As per the transitional requirements of the standards, the effects of adoption have been recorded on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, the Company has reflected an increase of $41,661 to previously reported net loss for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2008, a $228,455 decrease in previously reported income for the period ended September 30, 2007, and a reduction to deficit at October 1, 2006 of $1,352,796. The impact on the balance sheet was to reduce total assets in 2008 by $1,599,590 (2007: $1,641,251) and increase the retained deficit by $1,599,590 (2007: $1,641,251). There were no income tax impact from these changes.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

  (s) Adoption of future accounting standards

    i.  Business Combinations – 1582

     
    In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582 – Business Combinations, which replaces Section 1581 – Business Combinations, and Section 1601 – Consolidated Financial Statements and Section 1602 – Non-Controlling Interests, which replace Section 1600 – Consolidated Financial Statements. These new sections are effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier adoption permitted.  Sections 1582 and 1602 will require net assets, non-controlling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at fair value and non-controlling interests will be reported as a component of equity. In addition, the definition of a business is expanded and is described as an integrated set of activities and assets that are capable of being managed to provide a return to investors or economic benefits to owners. As well acquisition costs are not part of the consideration and are to be expensed when incurred.
     
ii. Accounting changes – 1506
     
    In June 2009, the CICA issued amendments to CICA Handbook Section 1506, Accounting Changes. Section 1506 was amended to exclude from its scope changes in accounting policies upon the complete replacement of an entity’s primary basis of accounting. The amendments were effective for annual and interim financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) is not expected to qualify as an accounting change under CICA 1506.
     
    iii. Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – EIC175
     
    In December 2009, the CICA issued EIC175 – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This EIC required the Company to divide revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables to be divided into separate units accounting, with separate revenue recognition criteria. The Company does not expect the adoption of EIC175 to have a material impact on the financial statements.
     
    iv. International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") 
     
    In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada's own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended September 30, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

5. Financial Instruments (continued)

  (a) Credit risk (continued)
     
   
Cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits: Credit risk associated with these assets is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are placed in debt instruments of well-capitalized financial institutions.
     
   
Amounts and notes receivable and other receivables: Credit risk associated with these assets is minimized due to their nature. All notes receivable are carried at net after allowing for bad debts and unearned interest. The provision for doubtful amounts receivable is an estimate based on an assessment of individual accounts and the length of time balances have been outstanding. As of September 30, 2009 the allowance for doubtful amounts and note receivables totaled $328,361 (2008 - $ 340,474).

    Allowance for doubtful amounts, beginning of the year: $ 340,474  
    Net bad debts provisions (recovery)  $  (12,113)  
    Allowance for doubtful amounts, end of year: $ 328,361  

  (b) Liquidity risk
     
    Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by regularly monitoring forecast and actual cash flows as well as maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company expects the following maturities of its financial liabilities (including interest) and operating leases and contracts:

Expected payments by period as at September 30, 2009

5. Financial Instruments (continued)

  (b) Liquidity risk (continued)

     

* Life insurance premiums are future payments required to keep the insurance policy in good standing.

Operating leases and contracts include property leases for the Company’s travel operations. The Company believes that it will not encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its’ financial liabilities and further believes that if necessary, it would be able to access the capital markets for additional financial resources at prevailing market rates.


  (c) Market risk
     
    Market risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, other market prices, and/or foreign currency exchange rates. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments are not subject to interest rate risk. In 2009 the construction loan was converted to a loan having a fixed interest rate (note 12). Life settlement contracts are measured at fair value on each balance sheet date. Market risks associated with the financial standing of the issuer and changes in economic conditions affecting the issuer may affect the fair value of such financial instruments.
     
    The following table sets out a sensitivity analysis of the effect of the Company’s financial instruments that are subject to foreign currency risk by applying reasonable possible changes in the USD foreign currency rates relative to the Company’s functional currency, the Canadian dollar

Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including amounts and notes receivable, other receivables, related party advance, accounts payable, accounts payable – other, accrued liabilities, due to broker, secured borrowing, loans from related parties and convertible debentures approximate fair values due to their short-term maturities.

     
    The fair value of other financial instruments are as follows:

    Carrying Value Fair Value
  Long-term debt $5,222,774 $5,352,673

    Fair Value Analysis

   

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted ) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).


    Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
  Held-for-trading financial assets      
  Cash and cash equivalents  $ 1,825,635 - -
  Short term deposits 14,685 - -
  Marketable securities  2,240,375 - -
  Investment in life settlement contracts   -   - $ 4,052,220

   

There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the period.

5. Financial Instruments (continued)

  Fair Value Analysis (continued)
 

Unquoted life settlement policies include holdings in unlisted life settlement policies which are measured at fair value.  Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model, which includes some assumptions that are not supportable by observable market prices or rates.  In determining the fair value, a life expectancy, premium growth factor of 5.0% (2008: nil) and a discount factor of 12% (2008: 10%) are used.  If the life expectancies were increased or decreased by 2 months, discount factors were increased or decreased by 2%, premium growth rates were increased and decreased by 1%, while all other variables are held constant, the carrying value of the investment in life settlement policies would increase (decrease) by:


  Life Expectancy Discount Rate Premium Growth
  +10 Months (10 Months) +2% (2%) +1% (1%)
Investment in life settlement $3,547,740 $5,474,583 $3,824,382 $4,404,380 $3,915,314 $4,295,937
Increase / (Decrease) ($504,480) $1,422,363 ($227,838) $352,160 ($136,906) $243,717

6. Investments in life settlement contracts

  The Company purchases life settlement contracts for long term investment purposes and accounts for these investments under CICA HB 3855. The Company designated the investments in life settlement contracts as held-for-trading that are recorded at fair value on each reporting date. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company has the following investment in life settlement contracts: The table below summarizes the attributes of outstanding life settlement contracts at September 30, 2009 and 2008:

6. Investments in life settlement contracts (continued)

  For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the investments experienced the following gains:

      Realized     Unrealized  
  Year   Gains (Losses)     Gains (Losses)  
               
  2007    
  2008 3,736,541   1,710,923  
  2009   775,207  

  At September 30, 2008 the Company had a life settlement contract receivable of $5,371,606 following the settlement of a life insurance policy in 2008. As a result of the settled contract, the company had recognized a gain of $3,736,541 in the year ended September 30, 2008. The Company received the proceeds from the settled life insurance policy during the year ended September 30, 2009.  No life insurance policies settled during the year ended September 30, 2009.

  Fair value is estimated in good-faith based on information available to the Company on those dates. The Company considers the following factors in its fair value estimates: cost at date of purchase; recent purchases and sales of similar investments, financial standing of the issuer, changes in economic conditions affecting the issuer; standard actuarially developed mortality tables and industry life expectancy reports.

  Assumptions : The fair value of life settlement contracts are estimated using present value calculations, with the following weighted average assumptions. These assumptions are by their nature inherently uncertain and the effect of changes in estimates may be significant. Information about the extent to which the fair value could reasonably vary in the near term, is disclosed in note 5 d), by disclosing the effect of changes in significant underlying assumptions used to estimate the amount.

7. Property and Equipment (continued)

 

The Company recognized an impairment loss on the carrying value of the motor vessel that was completed during the year, in the amount of $2,348,595 (2008: $1,800,000). Due to the current economic environment, and cost overruns associated with the construction of the vessel, the Company concluded that the vessel had a market value of $9,182,697 (2008: 9,946,281). As the motor vessel has not been in use, the Company was unable to prepare a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the value in use, As an alternative the fair value of the motor vessel was determined based on the amortized replacement cost. Under the amortized replacement cost method, the replacement costs for significant components of the motor vessel were obtained, and depreciated to current market value based on a review by an independent specialist marine surveyor.

On January 15, 2009 the Needles Property held by Colorado River Resorts was foreclosed. As a result of the foreclosure the land was returned to the promissory note holder in exchange for full and final settlement of the debt obligation. The Company has derecognized the land in 2009 resulting in a decrease to property plant and equipment of $7,602,530 (2008: 1,619,163) (see note 20(b)).


8. Intangible Assets

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had finite-lived intangible assets which totaled $ Nil (2008 – $1,918,062), net of accumulated amortization of $1,369,476 (2008 - $684,738) and impairment of $1,233,324 (2008 - $nil). At September 30, 2008, the Company had one finite-lived intangible asset which consisted of vacation club memberships acquired from Family Vacation Centers on October 18, 2007 as discussed further in Note 20 to these consolidated financial statements.  

During the year, the Company began to develop and create its own computerized membership database based on new technology, to replace the aging legacy membership database system the Company is currently employing. The database is expected to be completed & implemented in 2010.  The cost of developing the database during 2009 was $72,168 (2008: $nil).  The total unspent cost of developing the replacement database is approximately $30,000.  As the computerized membership database is not completed at balance date, no amortization has been recognized.

10. Secured Borrowing
 

The Company has entered an agreement whereby it factors the promissory note receivables to a third party.  Under the terms of the factorization agreement, the risk of default by the note receivable holder remains with the Company, and the Company is obligated to repurchase any note receivables that do not perform to the satisfaction of the third party.  Therefore the transaction does not qualify the Company to derecognize the notes receivable.   

The factorization transaction is collateralized against the notes receivable. The effective interest rate of the secured borrowing is 15% (2008 – 15%).  

As at September 30, 2009 the Company had an outstanding liability to the third party as set out below:


      September 30,     September 30,  
      2009     2008

11. Debentures

  Between April 19 and December 15, 2000, the Company issued unsecured convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of approximately $98,000 to friends and family of former officers and directors of the Company. The debentures matured between April 19 and December 15, 2002, are no longer convertible, no longer continue to bear interest and $34,310 remained unpaid since that date. The Company has been unable to contact the debenture holders. The holder of a debenture had the right at any time after the issuance until maturity to voluntarily convert to common shares of the issuer at a rate of US $6.00 to US $12.50 per common share per share. The debentures are fully matured as of 2002. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, accrued interest on the debentures amounted to approximately $6,176.

14. Income Taxes (continued)

  The significant components of the Company’s future income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

      September 30,     September 30,  
      2009     2008  
               
  Future income tax assets (liabilities):            
           Non-capital loss carry forwards $ 2,243,000   $  1,857,000  
           Cumulative eligible capital   400,000     430,000  
           Capital loss carry forwards     154,000     154,000  
           Excess (deficiency) of tax cost over book value            
             of property and equipment   107,000     383,000  
           Excess (deficiency) of tax cost over book value            
             of intangible assets   1,051,000     601,000  
           Marketable securities   (91,000 )    –  
           Investment in Life settlement contracts    (1,712,000    –  
      1,906,000     2,995,000  
  Valuation allowance   (3,464,000 )   (2,995,000 )
               
  Future income taxes, net $  (1,712,000 $  –  

  The ultimate realization of the future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In assessing the reliability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the future tax assets will be realized. Where management does not believe that realization is more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided.
   
  The Company has Canadian non-capital income tax loss carry forwards of approximately $8,970,000 available to reduce future years’ taxable income expiring between 2009 and 2028. The tax benefits and the associated valuation allowance was decreased by $550,500, representing the tax effect of losses and other assets which were impacted by the foreclosure of the Needles Property held by Colorado River Resorts LLC (Note 7).
   
  The Company has a capital loss carry-forward of approximately $614,000 (2008: $614,000).
   
  The accounting estimates related to the liability for uncertain tax positions require the Company to make judgments regarding the sustainability of each uncertain tax position based on its technical merits. If the Company determines it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits, the Company records the impact of the position in its consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These estimates are updated at each reporting date based on the facts, circumstance and information available. Changes in estimates are recognized in current and future periods as appropriate.

14. Income Taxes (continued)

  Actual income tax expense, income tax assets and liabilities could vary significantly due to future changes in income tax laws, significant changes in the taxability of certain proceeds received by the Company particularly between Canadian and US jurisdictions, or unpredicted results from the final assessment of each year’s liability, if any, by various taxing authorities.

15 Capital Management Policy
 

Management determines the Company’s capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on funds available to the Company, in order to support the Company’s business and investments.  Management has not established quantitative return on capital criteria for capital management.

The Company will be dependent in the future upon external financing to fund future acquisitions and its administrative costs.  The Company will spend existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that its approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.  

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.  In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placements, sell assets to reduce debt or return capital to shareholders.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There have been no changes made to the capital management policy during the year.

   
16. Commitments

  In addition to other obligations disclosed elsewhere:

  (a) The Company has commitments in respect of operating leases with total aggregate payments due of approximately $101,595 (2008 - $170,780). Payments due in each of the next five years are as follows:

  2010 $  67,277  
  2011   22,007  
  2012   7,508  
  2013   4,803

16. Commitments (continued)

  (b) The Company has commitments in respect of office leases with total aggregate payments due of approximately $141,120 (2008 - $44,240). Payments due in each of the next two years are as follows:

  2010 $  87,120  
  2011   54,000  
         
  Total $  141,120  

17. Contingent liability

  The Company has been named as a defendant with respect to injuries sustained at a travel seminar organized by a person licensed to sell travel memberships on behalf of the Company. The Company in conjunction with its insurance company has defended the claim, on the basis that it neither conducted its business from the premises at issue nor organized the seminar at issue. The Company considers the above suit frivolous, a nuisance, and without merit. Accordingly, it is not possible at this time to assess the likelihood of recovery or to estimate the possible quantum of damages. The Company has liability insurance to mitigate any financial loss to the Company.

18. Related Party Transactions

  In addition to related party transactions disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements, the following transactions have occurred:

  (a) The Company reimbursed $138,717 (2008 - $112,565 and nine month period ended September 30, 2007 $113,297) to directors for expenditures made on behalf of the Company.
     
  (b) At September 30, 2009, directors and officers advanced $486,379 (2008 - $1,089,031) to the Company in the form of loans and short-term financing. The amounts advanced from directors and officers are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand.
     
  (c) During fiscal 2008 and 2007, a SUV 7 passenger limousine owned by a director and officer of the Company was sold to the Company for $115,000. The Company subsequently lease- financed the vehicle.
     
  (d) Loans from related parties totaling $602,652 (2008 - $Nil) were repaid during the year.
     
  (e) The Company advanced $225,000 to an Officer/ Director for the purchase of a 43’ motor vessel.  However, as at September 30, 2009 the motor vessel ownership had not been transferred to the Company, and accordingly the amount has been recognized as a related party advance in the financial statements.  The related party advance was fair valued at an interest rate of 9.9% at $205,000, with a $20,000 charge to Wages.
     
 
All of the above transactions and balances are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

19. Amounts and Notes Receivable

  The Company receives promissory note receivables from the sale of travel memberships to third parties.  The promissory notes have an average rate of interest of 9.9%pa (2008: 9.9%) and an average maturity of 37 months (2008: 49 months).  The promissory notes are unsecured.

2009 2008
  Current $160,920 $345,579
  Non-Current $205,136 $404,033
    $366,056 $749,612
2009 2008
  Past due Amounts and Notes Receivable $61,194 $30,762

 

As of September 30, 2009 the allowance for doubtful amounts and note receivables totalled $210,923 (2008 - $ 150,557).  At September 30, 2009 promissory note receivables of $236,637 (2008: $137,321) have been provided as security for the secured borrowing (see note 10).

During the year ended September 30, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase note receivables from a third party with a face value of $146,700 for cash consideration of $89,081.  In accordance with HB 3855 these notes were initially recognized at a fair value of $141,516 with an initial gain recognized in interest income of $44,144.  The notes receivable acquired are subsequently measured as loans and receivables at amortized cost.


20. Acquisitions

(a) Family Vacation Centers
 

Effective October 18, 2007, the Company completed a business acquisition of Family Vacation Centers (“The Vendor”), consisting of the notes receivable and vacation club memberships for an amount of $3,052,866. The Company did not purchase the outstanding capital stock of the Vendor and no debt or obligations of the Vendor were assumed.

Consideration given was cash payment in the amount of $1,849,589 and an amount $1,203,277 payable in the form of a fixed number of shares (267,373 shares) was to be issued in capital stock of the Company and had been accrued in accounts payable as at September 30, 2008. The Company settled the obligation in full by issuing 267,373 shares of the Company, by September 30, 2009.

Given the present economic condition, the Company has ceased actively selling new travel club memberships from this location in 2008. The Company continues to operate the vacation club and derive cash flow from the notes receivable.

20. Acquisition (continued)

  The assets of Family Vacation Centers at the time of acquisition were:
         
  Purchase price $  3,052,866  
         
  Purchase price allocation      
     Notes receivable   450,066  
     Vacation club membership   2,602,800  
         
  Total $ 3,052,866  

  Purchased memberships were considered an intangible asset, and are amortized over the remaining term of the membership up to a maximum of 5 years. During the year ended September 30, 2009 the Company recognized an impairment of $422,074 (2008 - $Nil) and amortization of $512,455 (2008 - 684,738) in its statements of operations related to the acquired intangible assets.

(b) Investment in Colorado River Resorts LLC

  During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired a 54% interest in the Colorado River Resorts, LLC, (the “LLC”) a real estate development project in Needles, California, in January 2008 for cash consideration of US $1.0 million. The project was for the acquisition of the property, the preparation, design and engineering studies for the subdivision and sale of paper lots.   
     
  At the date of the acquisition, the net financial position of the LLC was a deficit; net liabilities were comprised substantially of cash and a deposit on the proposed property acquisition offset by a loan payable.  As the LLC was in a net deficit position, the purchase price adjustment of $77,059 representing cumulative general and administrative expenses of the LLC was written off. As the LLC failed to secure the additional investment financing required to complete the project, the Company’s ownership interest in the LLC was 54%, resulting in the requirement to consolidate the LLC by including the land $9,221,692 and promissory note payable secured by the land $7,602,530.

  Subsequent to the investment by the Company and others, the LLC entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire land for future development.  The acquisition was financed through cash of $2,108,032 (US$1,988,897), and a five year vendor take-back promissory note payable of $7,331,196 (US $6,916,875).
     
  The promissory note payable was an interest only note, payable quarterly and was secured solely by a first priority charge on the property.  The note interest rate was 5% annually for years 1 to 4, and 7.5% in year 5, with no prepayment penalty for early repayment. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company received a ‘Notice of Default’ from the note holder, wherefore the note holder proceeded with foreclosure on the property in settlement of the note payable, which was approximately $7.3 million USD at the time of foreclosure.

20. Acquisitions (continued)

(b) Investment in Colorado River Resorts LLC (continued)

  The deterioration of the real estate market in the southern United States by the end of fiscal 2008 triggered an impairment analysis of the investment in the property.  The asset group included the property and the related mortgage for which the property was the only source of cash flow to pay the liability.  The fair value of the property, based on an independent appraisal, had deteriorated below the value of the outstanding mortgage and therefore the fair value of the asset group was determined to be zero,   Accordingly a write down of the property of $1,619,163 was recognized in 2008. The deterioration of the real estate market in the southern United States continued into 2009 resulted in the LLC not able to secure additional investment financing as required to complete the transaction. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the lender foreclosed on the Needles property resulting in property being fully impaired. An impairment charge of the remaining balance of $7,602,529 was recognized in the year ended September 30, 2009 in the statements of operations.  The impairment loss was offset by the derecognition of the promissory note payable to the same value upon the foreclosure of the property.   Included in Loans from Related Parties at September 30, 2009, is $484,169 (2008 – $491,031) for funds advanced by a director of the Company, directly to Colorado River Resorts, LLC.

  During the year, the Company issued 267,373 common shares for a value of $1,203,179 in settlement of the full obligation accrued in the acquisition of the assets of Family Vacation Centers.

22. Subsequent Events

  (a) Subsequent to the year end, the Company paid $166,592 in connections with servicing premium expenses in connection with its life settlement contracts.

23. United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Reconciliation

  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differ in certain respects from those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with US GAAP as summarized below:

  (a) Stock-based compensation

    (i) Under US GAAP, the issue of stock options and warrants to non-employees is accounted for under FASB Statement No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-based Payment”, and related interpretations. The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options issued to non-employees for services received based upon the fair value of the services received or the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determined. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company had accounted for stock options issued to non- employees at fair value under FSAB Statement No 123 (“SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” therefore, the adoption of SFAS 123R had no effect on the Company’s accounting policy. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the CICA Handbook section related to stock-based compensation payments (note 2(d)). Under this policy, stock options issued to non- employees after December 31, 2001 are accounted for consistently with US GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, stock options issued to non-employees prior to December 31, 2001 were not valued and no stock–based compensation expense was recorded. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the measurement difference for non-employee stock options relate to options granted prior to January 01, 2002.
       
      The fair value of the stock options and warrants granted to non-employees during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
               
      2001     2000  
               
  Expected volatility   1.73     1.98  
  Risk-free rate   5.48%     4.23%  
  Dividend yield   0%     0%  
  Expected life of options   0.6 years     1.6 years  

  Accounting for the non-employee options on this basis would result in recording additional compensation expense and capital stock of $684,664 from the year of adoption of FAS No. 123R to September 30, 2009.

23. United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Reconciliation (continued)

  (b) Valuation of stock issued for assets and services

    (i) During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company acquired Fitness Vacations for 992,000 common shares of the Company. Under Canadian GAAP, the acquisition was valued based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. For US GAAP purposes, the acquisition would be valued based on the market value of the shares given. Accordingly, as at September 30, 2009 and 2008, the application of US GAAP would result in an increase in capital stock of $1,217,705.
       
      During the year ended December 31, 2001, goodwill relating to the acquisition of Fitness Vacations was written down, and as such, the additional goodwill recorded on the acquisition under US GAAP was written off. Accordingly, for the year ended at September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, the application of US GAAP would result in a corresponding increase in deficit of $1,217,705.
       
    (ii) During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company settled a number of accounts payable by the issuance of stock options and common shares. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the transactions were recorded at the carrying value of services received. For US GAAP purposes, the transactions would be valued based on the market value of the options or shares issued. Accordingly, as at September 30, 2009 and 2008, the application of US GAAP would result in an increase in capital stock and an increase in deficit of $695,681 for the year ended at September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
       
    (iii) During the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company did not issue shares under its incentive share purchase plan (note 2(d)).

  (c) Uncertain tax position

   
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any part of benefit of that position to be recognized in the financial statements. .The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in a) an increase in a liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, b) a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a deferred tax liability or c) both a and b. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be

  (c) Uncertain tax position (continued)

   

recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Use of a valuation allowance as described in FAS No. 109 is not an appropriate substitute for the de-recognition of a tax position. The requirement to assess the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on sufficiency of future taxable income is unchanged by this interpretation. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company determined that as at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and 2007, its tax position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination. However, a tax provision of $1,712,000 was accrued as at September 30, 2009 based on estimated probabilities. The validity of any tax position is a matter o f tax law, the body of statutory, regulatory and interpretive guidance on the application of the law is complex and often ambiguous. Because of this, whether a tax position will ultimately be sustained may be uncertain.


  (d) Purchased intangibles

   
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 the Company acquired access rights to wholesale priced condo accommodation. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the license is treated as an intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. For US GAAP purposes, the acquisition of the license would be expensed in the year incurred. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company wrote-off the investment. The application of US GAAP would result in a decrease in Total Assets as at September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $Nil, a increase in net income for the year ended September 30, 2008 of $30,276 (for the nine-month ended September 30, 2007 – increase in net loss of $30,256) and an increase in deficit of $nil for the year ended 2008 (2007 - $ 30,276).

  (e) Life settlement contracts

   
On March 27, 2006, FASB Staff Position No. FTB 85-4-1 Accounting for Life Settlement Contracts by Third-Party Investors (FSP FTB 85-4-1) was issued, which amends FTB 85-4. The FASB Staff Position states that an investor may elect to account for its investments in life settlement contracts using either the investment method or the fair value method. The election shall be made on an instrument-by instrument basis and is irrevocable. Under the investment method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price plus all initial direct costs. Continuing costs (policy premiums and direct external costs, if any) to keep the policy in force shall be capitalized. Under the fair value method, an investor shall recognize the initial investment at the purchase price. In subsequent periods, the investor shall re-measure the investment at fair value in its entirety at each reporting period and shall recognize change in fair value earnings (or other performance indicators for entities that do not report earnings) in the period in which the changes occur. FSP FTB 85-4-1 is required to be applied to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2006. The Company uses the Fair Value method to calculate its Life Settlement Portfolio.

  (e) Life settlement contracts (continued)

  (i)
SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The provisions of this standard are to provide guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard clarifies methods for measuring items not actively traded and the principles that fair value should be based upon when pricing an asset or liability. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not issued financial statements for that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     
  (ii) In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – an Amendment of FASB Statement 115”, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain items at fair value. The fair value option established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007 provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  (f) Deferred costs, net

    As disclosed in note 2(r), the Company adopted CICA HB 3064 and the revised HB 1000as at October 1, 2008 the on a retrospective basis, with restatement, and as a result has recorded an adjustment of $1,599,590 to deficit previously reported as at September 30, 2008.  Of which, $258,556 relates to deferred organization costs associated with setting up its Life Settlement business and $1,341,034 relates to deferred commission costs for membership sales. These commission costs were deferred as the related membership revenue has not met the recognition criteria in accordance with Company’s accounting policy (note 2 (b)). This change in accounting policy in accordance with Canadian GAAP does not have corresponding change in standards under US GAAP. The Company decided to continue to account for deferred organization costs and deferred commission costs as it had been in prior periods; Deferred organization costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 720-15 (previously Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities”) and membership sales commission costs are deferred and amortize to operations on the same basis as the related membership sales are recognized as revenue. Thus, the adjustments to the opening deficit related to deferred commission costs as a result of the change in accounting policy under Canadian GAAP was reversed and corresponding amortization expense of deferred sales commissions are recognized in the table below.

  (g) Recent accounting pronouncements

  (i) December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAF 141(R) requires assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be effective for business combinations entered into after January 1, 2009.

  (ii) In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting for non-controlling interests and establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not currently have any minority interests.

  (h) Reconciliation

  The effect of the differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP (including practices proscribed by the SEC) on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and deficit are summarized as follows:

  (i) Total Assets

      September 30,     September 30,  
      2009     2008  
  Total Assets under Canadian GAAP $  18,475,423   $  29,481,590
