(b)

Software development costs:


Under US GAAP, the software development costs would be expensed as incurred.


(c)

Options to consultants:


Starting January 1, 2002 under US and Canadian GAAP, the Company records compensation expense based on the fair value for stock or stock options granted in exchange for services from consultants. Before January 1, 2002, for the options issued and completely vested the Company did not recognize a compensation expense under Canadian GAAP but recorded a compensation expense under US GAAP for the options issued to consultants.   In respect to options issued before January 1, 2002 but vesting in year 2002 and thereafter, the Company records expense under US GAAP but recognized no expenses under Canadian GAAP.


(d)

Share issue costs:


The Company incurred costs in 2004 and prior years to file registration statement with Securities and Exchange Commission in order to interlist for trading in United States.  In accordance with US GAAP these costs are expensed as incurred but charged against share capital under Canadian GAAP. There is no effect on shareholder equity in 2004 as funds expended in 2004 have already been charged to shareholder equity.

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)


August 30, 2004










Notice to Reader

(“Lingo Media” or the “Company”) consisting of the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet as at June 30, 2004 and the Statements of Deficit, Operations and Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars.  An accounting firm has not reviewed or audited this interim financial information.


2004 Second Quarter and First Six Months Of 2004 Management Discussion and Analysis


Description of Business and Report Date


The following management discussion and analysis is prepared as of August 30, 2004 (the “Report Date”) and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the Company’s annual Consolidated Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.  These documents can be found on SEDAR website www.sedar.com .


Lingo Media earns its revenues from two distinct markets, China and Canada. The Company develops, publishes, distributes and license book, audio/video cassettes, CD-based product and supplemental product for English language learning for the educational school and retail bookstore markets in China and school market in Canada.


The Company prepares its financial statements in Canadian dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada.

 

Overall Performance


During the second quarter of 2004, Lingo Media continued to focus on its core business and to seek new opportunities in China market. The Company invested $132, 636 in developing and expanding its current programs to secure and grow its ongoing revenue stream. In addition, the Company reduced its net loss from ($182,993) to ($89,514), an improvement of 51%.


Results of operations


Revenue and margin


Overall, the revenue for the first two quarters of 2004 was $503,240 as compared to $493,124 for the comparable period of 2003, a 2% increase.  The absolute increase in revenue was 10%, US$387,108 for the first six months of fiscal year 2004 as compared to US$352,231. However the decline in US dollar vis-à-vis the Canadian dollar resulted in a net increase in revenue of only 2% for the first two quarters of 2004 as compared to same period of 2003. For the three months ended June 2004 revenue increased by 12% to $300,205 from $268,492 for the same period last year. Along with the increase in revenue for the first two quarters of 2004, the gross margin percentage was maintained at 86% similar to the same period last year.


General and administrative


General and administrative costs consist of costs incurred at the corporate level including executive compensation, consulting fees, administration, marketing, professional fees, shareholders services and any foreign exchange losses or gains. For the three months ended June 2004 these expenses reduced to $166,616 from $200,970 for the same period last year, a decrease of 17%. These expenses were reduced to $300,359 during the first six months of 2004 as compared with $370,366 for the similar period in 2003, a 19% reduction. This decrease in expenses is due to strengthened Canadian dollar and continued cost rationalization measures implemented by the Company.  


Interest and other financial expenses


Interest and other financial expenses include interest paid on long term or short term loans and all expenses related to receivable financing. For the first six months of fiscal year 2004, these expenses were reduced by 60% to $8,563 from $21,336. These expenses were $8,563 for the three months ended June 2004 as compared to $17,739 for the comparable period last year, a 52% reduction. This reduction is a result of Company’s continued efforts to reduce costs.


Amortization


Amortization includes amortization of property and equipment, development costs, acquired publishing content and software development costs. Amortization for the three months ended June 2004 was $71,638 as compared to $61,370 for the same period last year, an increase of $10,268. Amortization charge for the first six months of 2004 was reduced to $143,452 from $144,180 due to reduced cost base of assets.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of June 30, 2004, the Company had cash of $5,950 and accounts receivables of $729,542. The Company’s current assets amounted to $1,776,955 with current liabilities of $289,702 resulting in a working capital surplus of $646,440.  


The Company believes that current cash on hand along with accounts receivable and recurring sales will satisfy working capital requirements for the next 12 months.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has not entered into any off-balance finance arrangements.



Transactions with Related Parties


During the first six months of 2004, the Company had the following transactions with related parties made in the normal course of operations accounted for at an amount of consideration established and agreed to by the Company and shareholders.


Consulting fees of $60,000 (2003 - $60,000) were paid to a company controlled by a director of the Company in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2004, $5,350 (2003 - $5,350) is included in accounts payable. A success fee of $15,498 (2003 - nil) was paid to a company controlled by a director of the Company.


The shareholder loans were interest bearing at 12% (2002 - 12%) per annum. Interest expense related to shareholder loans for the first six months $nil (2003 - $7,715).


Proposed Transactions


The board of directors of the Company are not aware of any proposed transactions involving a proposed asset, business, acquisition or disposition which may have an effect on financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.


2003 Annual Management Discussion and Analysis


Overall Performance


Lingo Media continued its plan in 2003 to focus on the China market to enhance its recurring royalty revenue stream. During 2003, the company increased its revenue from China by 29% in US dollar terms to $759,948 from $589,737. Unfortunately, because of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar this resulted in a small increase of 6% due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations from C$931,784 in 2002 to C$987,933 in 2003. Although, the total revenue reduced by 23% from the prior year, the Company maintained its gross margin and significantly increased gross margin percentage from 67% in 2002 to 83% in 2003. While recording an EBITA of $238,763 and a net loss of ($257,082), the Company improved its cash flow from operations to a positive $91,940 from $2,283.


During the year, the Company successfully inter-listed its common shares on NASDAQOTC:BB under the symbol LNGMF and Berlin Sock Exchange under the symbol LIM.BE. The trading liquidity provided by this exposure led to additional equity financing in the amount of $327,213 through the exercise of Class D warrants.


The Company improved its current ratio (current assets over current liabilities) from 2.7:1 to 4.65:1 and improved its days sales outstanding ratio from 150 days to 120 in 2003. The increase in cash resources was used to retire long-term debt and to allow for the investment of $114,385 for the development of new products and programs.

Results of Operations


Revenue

Lingo Media earns its revenues from two distinct markets, China and Canada. Overall, the revenue for the fiscal year 2003 was $1,017,817 compared to $1,329,120 for 2002, a 23.42% decrease.


In China, Lingo Media develops, publishes, distributes and licenses book, audio/video cassette, CD-based product and supplemental product for English language learning for the educational school and retail bookstore market in China and earns recurring royalty revenues from its co-publishers and distributors. Royalty revenue in China is payable in US dollars. The absolute increase in revenue from China was 29%, US$759,948 in 2003 as compared to US$589,737. However the decline in US dollar via a via the Canadian dollar resulted in a net increase in revenue from China of only 6% in 2003 as compared to 2002.


In Canada the company sells its product directly into the educational market. The revenue in Canada decreased from $397,336 to $29,884. This reduction in revenue was primarily due to the lack of financing for schools for Early Literacy Learning materials from Ontario Ministry of Education.

Cost of sales and margin

Cost of sales includes all costs directly related to production and distribution of the products sold such as manufacturing costs, freight, author royalties and sales commissions. Cost of Sales for 2003 was $171,471 as compared to $444,275 for the same period last year.


The gross margin for fiscal year 2003 was $846,346 as compared to $884,845 for the same period last year. During 2003, the Company’s gross margins percentage increased to 83% as compared to 67% during 2002. The increase in the gross margin percentage resulted from the change in the revenue mix. Revenue in 2002 was earned mainly from finished product sales in Canada and royalty sales in China, compared to revenue for 2003, which was generated primarily from high margin recurring royalty sales in China.


General and administrative

General and administrative costs consist of costs incurred at the corporate level including executive compensation, consulting fees, administration, marketing, professional fees, shareholders services and any foreign exchange losses or gains. These expenses were $607,583 for the year-ended 2003, an increase of $133,423 over the same period for 2002 of $474,160. This increase is due to; additional employee compensation and consulting fees of $164,173, a foreign exchange loss of $47,738 sustained by the Company due to the decrease in US dollar as compared to Canadian dollars and a one time fees payment of $35,000 for listing on Berlin exchange as compared to last year.


Amortization

Amortization includes amortization of property and equipment, development costs, acquired publishing content and software development costs. Amortization charge for the year 2003 was consistent with the prior year.


Stock-based compensation

The amortization for the stock-based compensation was $25,708 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $4,792 for last year, an increase of $20,916. This increase is attributable to the increased number of stock options vested during the period that were issued to consultants.


EBITA

The Company reported an EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes and amortization) of $238,763 for the fiscal year 2003 as compared to $410,685 for last year, a 42.7% decrease due to decrease in revenue in Canada, foreign exchange losses and increased employee compensation and consulting fees.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

(a) Currency risk:


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


The Company does not actively use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. There were no derivative instruments outstanding at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

(c) Fair market values:


The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, loan receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity. The fair value of long-term debt is not significantly different from its carrying value based on rates for similar instruments currently available to the Company and its maturity terms.


(d) Concentration of risk:


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and loan receivable. Cash and short-term investments consist of deposits with major financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Management assesses the need for allowances for potential credit losses by considering the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.


The majority of the accounts receivable are secured through an insurance policy provided by Export Development Corporation. The loan receivable is secured by a personal guarantee.
