PART I


This Registration Statement is being filed by Capital Reserve Canada Limited, an Alberta, Canada corporation.  Throughout this Registration Statement, Capital Reserve Canada Limited is referred to as “Capital Canada”, “we”, and “our”.  This Registration Statement on Form 20-F includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). These statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions, and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations set forth under the heading "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. Forward-looking statements also include statements in which words such as "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "estimate", "consider" or similar expressions are used.


Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results and shareholder values may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.


Exchange Rates



All dollar amounts in this document are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicted.

This Registration Statement contains conversions of certain amounts in Canadian dollars ("CDN$") into United States dollars ("US$") based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the calendar year to which the amount relates, or the exchange rate on the date specified. For such purposes, the exchange rate means the noon buying rate for United States dollars from the Bank of Canada (the "Noon Buying Rate"). These translations should not be construed as representations that the Canadian dollar amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or that Canadian dollars could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate. The Noon Buying Rate at the end of each of the four years ended December 31, the average of the Noon Buying Rates on the last day of each month during each of such fiscal years and the high and low Noon Buying Rate for each of such fiscal year's were as follows:

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS


We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Common shares with no par value, an unlimited number of Class B Common shares with no par value and an unlimited number of First Preferred shares with no par value. On May 28, 2003, Capital Canada's sole shareholder executed a resolution to forward split 1,000 shares of Class A common stock on the basis of 2,000 shares to 1 bringing the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock to 2,000,000 shares.  Neither shares of our Class B Common Stock nor shares of our First Preferred Stock have been issued to date.  


Other than expenses outlined below or expenses incurred in our normal day-to-day operations, we have no outstanding debts.


We have an outstanding loan with FACT Corporation (formerly known as Capital Reserve Corporation), which is presently the parent of Capital Canada.  The loan relates to certain amounts advanced by FACT Corporation for ongoing operations of Capital Canada since inception.  As a part of the spin off of Capital Canada, (see “SPIN OFF FROM FACT CORPORATION” under Item 4 on page 10 for a description of the proposed spin off) the parties have agreed to enter into a promissory note with specific repayment terms to be negotiated at the time of the spin off of Capital Canada.  The note is intended to be executed immediately upon Capital Canada no longer being a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation. As there is a commonality amongst the respective boards of directors of FACT Corporation and Capital Reserve Canada Ltd. only those directors who are not common to each board of directors will approve the terms of the promissory note for each respective company.


There have been numerous intercompany advances and repayments between FACT Corporation and the Company since Capital Canada's inception on December 8, 1999 for operations of the Company and for the purchase of its oil and gas assets.  The amount owing to FACT Corporation as of December 12, 2003  net of all amounts repaid to FACT Corporation is  $658,157.  The table below details the amounts and general nature of the amounts advanced to the Company which comprise the $658,157.  The table below also indicates the amounts repaid to FACT Corporation..

Total Due as at December 18,  2003 to FACT Corp


$658,157


We lease office and laboratory space from FACT Corporation in a commercial building located in the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.   The lease was executed on August 30, 2000 for a five-year term expiring on October 31, 2005.  The financial commitment under the terms of the lease is the payment of CDN$2,822 per month plus operating costs estimated at $8.00 per sq ft for 2003.  In our capacity as sublessor, we executed a sublease agreement with T2/H2B Analytical Services, Inc. on October 30, 2000 at the rate of CDN$3,212 per month, net of operating costs estimated at $8.00 per sq ft for the year 2003, for the period of November 1, 2000 to October 31, 2003 at which time the rate increases to CDN$3,614 per month net of operating costs until the expiry of the sublease on October 31, 2005.  In our capacity as sublessor, we have also executed a one year sublease with Canada Chemical Corporation which expires on December 31, 2003. Capital Canada delivered notice to the Company that it would continue with its sublease of the space from January 31, 2004 on a month to month basis.   This sublease is for the remaining square footage with a monthly rental rate of CDN$727.00, net of operating costs estimated at $8.00 per sq foot for 2003, until November 1, 2003 at which point the monthly rental rate increases to CDN$848.


REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS


The Company is not conducting an offering of its securities to raise funds for the Company at this time.  Capital Reserve Canada Limited is filing this Form 20-F as a registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and as such this item is  not applicable.


RISK FACTORS


INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES OFFERED HEREBY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE. A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:


Our business operations are speculative.  The failure of our plans could ultimately force us to reduce or suspend operations and even liquidate our assets and wind-up and dissolve our company.


Capital Canada's business is the acquisition of oil and natural gas assets that either produce or that we hope will produce revenue.  Part of our assets are still in the exploration and development stage.  We do not conduct exploration, development or drilling operations.  These operations are carried out by third party operators, who share an interest in the properties.  Exploration and development of oil and natural gas is extremely risky, particularly given our present financial condition.  An investment in our company should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of our indirect involvement in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.  Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  There is no assurance that expenditures we make on future exploration will result in new discoveries of oil or gas.  Exploratory drilling is subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil and natural gas reservoirs will be encountered.  The cost to drill, complete and



4


operate wells is often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors including unexpected drilling conditions, abnormal pressures, equipment failures, premature declines of reservoirs, blow-outs, cratering, sour gas releases, fires, spills or other accidents, as well as weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements, delays in receiving governmental approvals or permits, unexpected environmental issues and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. These uncertainties could result in our portion of the drilling costs exceeding our financial resources to fund the drilling and therefore could result in suspension of drilling activities prior to completion of a well. Our inability to participate in the drilling of wells that produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas would have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations.


Future oil and gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after exploration, drilling, operating and other costs.  Completion of wells does not ensure a profit on the investment or recovery of exploration, drilling, completion and operating costs.  Drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect production.  Adverse conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions.


Capital Canada intends to continue with identification of additional exploration and development projects which may alter our currently proposed operational plans. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in development our current prospects or in locating and acquiring working interests in additional projects of merit.


We have incurred net losses since inception and anticipate that losses will continue, which could inpact on the value of an investor's investment in our common stock.


We have incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $654,028 at September 30, 2003.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses due to our expectation of a  high level of planned operating and capital expenditures, additional personnel requirements and our general growth objectives.  We anticipate that our net losses will increase in the near future as we implement our business strategy.  Our ability to earn a profit will



5


depend, in addition to the other risks discussed in this registration statement, on successful development of our existing prospects and identification and acquisition of additional oil and gas properties that generate revenue in excess of operating expenses for the properties and operating expenses of our business, which has not yet been achieved.  We may never achieve profitability.  


We may be unable to continue as a going concern if we are unable to raise additional capital.


In light of the risks described in this section, our auditors have expressed considerable doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  We will be unable to continue as a going concern if we are unable to earn sufficient revenues from our operations or to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to meet our working capital obligations.  At September 30, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of $28,680.  Based on our plan of operation, we estimate we may require an additional $250,000 in financing during the first quarter of 2004 to meet our capital requirements through the first quarter of 2004, which is anticipated to vary depending on the Company's ability to identify and acquire either oil and gas exploration properties or producing oil and gas properties.  If we do not raise this capital, we will be unable to continue as a going concern and you may lose your entire investment.  Any additional capital required subsequent to the first quarter of 2004 cannot currently be estimated and will be dependent upon our results of operations up to the end of the first quarter 2004.


Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly and are difficult to predict.


Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly depending upon a number of factors including industry conditions, prices of oil and natural gas, rate of drilling success, rates of production from completed wells and the timing of capital expenditures.  This variability makes it very difficult to predict when we might reach profitability and hence would have a serious impact on the value of investor's investment in our Company.  In addition, any failure or delay in the realization of expected cash flows from initial operating activities could limit our future ability to continue exploration and to participate in economically attractive projects.


A significant or prolonged decrease in oil and natural gas prices will seriously negatively impact our business plans and operations.


Oil and natural gas are commodities whose prices are determined based on world demand and supply both of these factors are beyond our control.  It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty, as they have historically been subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of market conditions, including relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, economic, political and regulatory developments, and competition from other sources of energy.


Any extended or substantial decline in oil and natural gas prices would have a material adverse effect on our ability to negotiate favorable joint ventures with viable industry participants, our ability to acquire drilling rights, the volume of oil and natural gas that could be economically produced, our cash flow and our access to capital.


We do not currently intend to engage in hedging activities (although we reserve the right to do so in the future), and may be more adversely affected by fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices than other industry participants that do engage in such activities.  A sustained material decline in prices from historical average prices could add additional limitation factors to our borrowing base, reducing credit available to our company.  Our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected by adverse changes in prevailing oil and natural gas prices.  


Our officers have limited experience in marketing oil and natural gas.


If we pursue development of an oil and gas prospect without a partner, we will have to establish markets for any oil and natural gas we do produce and we will also have to market our oil and natural gas to prospective buyers.  The marketability and price of oil and natural gas, which may be acquired or discovered by us, will be affected by the differential between the price paid by refiners for light quality oil and the grades of oil produced by us.  Our ability to market our oil and gas production may depend upon our ability to acquire space on pipelines which deliver oil and gas to commercial markets.  We will also likely be affected by deliverability uncertainties related to the proximity of our reserves to pipelines and processing facilities and relating to price, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, and the export of oil and natural gas.   We have limited direct experience in the marketing of oil and natural gas.



6





We compete directly with independent, technology-driven exploration and service companies, and with major oil and natural gas companies in our exploration for and development of commercial oil and natural gas properties.    


The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive.  Many companies and individuals are engaged in the business of acquiring interests in and developing oil and natural gas properties, and the industry is not dominated by any single competitor or a small number of competitors.  We will compete with numerous industry participants for the acquisition of land and rights to prospects, and for the equipment and labor required to drill and develop those prospects.  Many of these competitors have financial, technical and other resources substantially in excess of those available to us.  These competitive disadvantages could adversely affect our ability to participate in projects with favorable rates of return.


We may be unable to effectively manage our expected growth.


Our success will depend upon the expansion of our business.  Expansion will place a significant strain on our financial, management and other resources, and will require us, among other things, to change, expand and improve our operating, managerial and financial systems and controls and improve coordination between our various corporate functions.  We presently have no full time employees or management personnel.


We presently rely on outside operators for the operations of our oil and gas properties.  Should we begin operating our own oil and gas properties we will be forced to hire either field contractors or our own field staff and management personnel to oversee the field operations.


Our inability to effectively manage our growth, including the failure of any new personnel we hire to achieve anticipated performance levels, would have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations.  


Some of our Directors face possible conflicts of interest through dual directorships.


Two (2) of our directors, Mr. Desmond Smith and Ms. Jacqueline Danforth, also serve as directors for Texas T Resources Inc., which is also a corporation that operates in the oil and gas industry.  It is possible that such directors face a conflict of interest if they obtain information regarding an oil and gas asset available for acquisition that would fall in the parameters of acquisitions being sought by both corporations.  Capital Canada expects that if such event did occur, that the director would pass the information regarding such acquisition to both corporations for consideration and withdraw from further activity regarding such asset except with the written consent of both corporations.


Capital Canada has had no business interaction with Texas T Resources.  However, its parent corporation, FACT Corporation has had the following relationships:


FACT Corporation is currently a shareholder of Texas T Resources Inc. ("Resources"), a public reporting Alberta corporation whose shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "TXT", and its private subsidiary, Texas T Petroleum Ltd. ("Petroleum"), a Colorado corporation. On August 1, 2000, FACT Corporation entered into a private placement agreement with Resources and acquired 2,000,000 units of its common stock at a price of $0.0677 per unit, each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling FACT Corporation the Company to purchase one additional share of common stock.  The warrant expired unexercised during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Subsequently in the fiscal year 2000 FACT Corporation also completed a private placement with Petroleum and acquired 2,000,000 units at $0.50 per unit, each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling FACT Corporation to purchase one additional share at $1.00 per share for a period of three years from the date of issue. On March 6, 2001 Petroleum completed a reverse split of its share capital at the rate of 10:1, which resulted in FACT Corporation's shareholdings in Petroleum being reduced from 2,000,000 units to 200,000 units.

Subsequently, FACT Corporation exchanged with an unrelated third party 652,252 units of Resources for 106,101 common shares of Petroleum.



7



As of September 31, 2003, FACT Corporation owned 1,347,748 shares of Resources, which equates to 6.2% of the total issued and outstanding shares. As of September 31, 2003, FACT Corporation owned 306,101 common shares of Petroleum, which equates to 16.2% of the total issued and outstanding shares. These securities are non-marketable and as a result of Petroleum's divestiture of substantially all of Petroleum's assets, FACT Corporation has determined that these investments has a net realizable value of $83,950 as at December 31, 2002 and $98,123

 at September 30, 2003.

There is a possibility that we could incur environmental liabilities that are not covered by insurance, which liabilities could be in excess of any revenues or assets that we may accumulate.

Operations of our oil and gas assets are conducted by third party operations that carry excess liability insurance.  In the event that losses or damages result from the operation of the assets that are not covered by the operator's insurance these losses or damages would become a liability for Capital Canada.  Although management has determined that the current amount of coverage carried by the operators is sufficient to cover all potential liability, except for claims due to operator negligence or fraud, it is possible that uncovered losses and damages could be incurred which could cause us to have to file for bankruptcy protection from the courts.


U.S. Investors face the risk that their investment may be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules.  


For any taxable year of Capital Canada, if at least 75% of Capital Canada's gross income is “Passive income” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), or if at least 50% of Capital Canada's assets, by average fair market value, are assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, Capital Canada will be a Passive Foreign Investment Corporation (“PFIC”).


If Capital Canada is a PFIC for any taxable year during which an individual who is a citizen or resident of the Untied States or a domestic corporation (a “U.S. Taxpayer”) owns any common stock, the U.S. Taxpayer will be subject to special U.S. federal income tax rules, set forth in Sections 1291 to 1297 of the Code, with respect to all of such U.S. Taxpayer's common stock. For example, gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations and use of the common stock as security for a loan may be treated as taxable disposition, and a stepped-up basis upon the death of such a U.S. Taxpayer may not be available. Furthermore, in the absence of an election by such U.S. Taxpayer to treat Capital Canada as a “qualified electing fund” (the “QEF election”), as discussed below, the U.S. Taxpayer would be required to (i) report any gain on disposition of any common stock as ordinary income rather than capital gain, (ii) to compute the tax liability on such gain and on certain distributions as if the shares had been earned pro rata over the U.S. Taxpayer's holding period (or a certain portion thereof) for the common stock, and (iii) would be subject to the highest ordinary income tax rate for each taxable year of the U.S. Taxpayer in which the shares were treated as having been earned. Such U.S. Taxpayer would also be liable for interest (which may be non-deductible by certain U.S. Taxpayers) on the foregoing tax liability as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year.


U.S. Taxpayers are strongly urged to consult his or her own tax advisor in that regard.


The foregoing discussion of United States taxation is of a general and summary nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of receiving dividends from Capital Canada or disposing of their common stock and thus any investment in our common stock could be illiquid. For an indefinite period of time.


Risks Relating to Our Stock


There is no public market for the common shares at this time.


There is no public market for our common shares and we cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to attain a listing for our securities.   We will attempt to have our stock authorized for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC/BB”) following the spin off of our shares to the FACT Corporation shareholders.   This will be dependent upon our ability to locate a market maker to submit an application for trading on the OTC/BB.  We currently do not have a relationship with any market makers.

ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY


Capital Reserve Canada Limited was incorporated on December 8, 1999 as a private company under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta, Canada) and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation, a Colorado corporation, which trades on the OTC/BB. On January 15, 2003, we amended our articles of incorporation to enable us to be a public company under the laws of the Province of Alberta.  On May 28, 2003, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to forward split our issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock.


Our registered offices are located at 1530-9th Avenue S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2G 0T7, Canada, (403) 693-8000.


On March 1, 2000, FACT Corporation issued a total of 817,050 common shares at a deemed price of $0.50US per common share which  the Company booked as an inter-company loan in the amount of $408,525 ($600,000CDN) .  The deemed price of $0.50 per share was agreed to with Stone Canyon based on an offering being undertaken by FACT Corporation at the time which was priced at $0.50 per share.  The cost of the acquisition was based on an evaluation by an independent oil and gas consultant to be $612,788 (CDN $900,000), and was paid by way of $204,263 (CDN$300,000) in cash and in 817,050 shares of Class A common stock of FACT Corporation, at a deemed price of $0.50 per share. The shares and cash were used to purchase a 5% interest in a producing oil and gas property in Alberta, Canada from Stone Canyon Resources Ltd.  Stone Canyon Resources Ltd. was an independent party from both the Company and FACT Corporation at the time of the transaction.  Stone Canyon Resources Ltd. became an affiliate of FACT Corporation upon the issuance of shares of FACT Corporation to Stone Canyon Resources Ltd. due to the fact that Stone Canyon Resources Ltd. then owned approximately 20% of FACT Corporation's issued and outstanding shares.  


The cash portion of the acquisition  was provided from the draw down of $204,263 (CDN$300,000) from a stand-by operating line of credit at an annual interest rate of the Bank of Canada's prime rate plus 1% provided to Capital Canada by the Alberta Treasury Branches. The line of credit was secured by a floating charge debenture over all of Capital Canada's assets, which means that the lender had a security interest in all of Capital Canada's assets in an amount equal to the current amount owed under the line of credit.   


The property is operated by Hornet Energy Ltd, a division of Compton Petroleum Corporation, a company located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Hornet Energy Ltd. is an independent party from Capital Canada.  


 Production from this property initially met the payment obligations to the Alberta Treasury Branches and provided some working capital for the Company.  However, the Company participated in the drilling of a well on this property which was unsuccessful and the cash flow from the property was used to pay down the drilling obligations.  During 2002 and the first quarter of 2003 this property was not producing sufficient cash flow to pay the drilling obligations and  the ongoing payments required under the loan with the Alberta Treasury Branches, therefore the Board of Directors determined to sell the property to pay off the loan to Alberta Treasury Branches and to retire the debt owed to Hornet Energy Ltd. from operations.   On May 15, 2003, the Company sold this property to Hornet Energy Ltd. for CDN$150,000.00 or approximately US$112,964.  The funds received paid off the above noted loan with Alberta Treasury Branches in full, funded the drilling of an exploration well in Montana (discussed below in the immediately subsequent paragraph) and paid down a total of $46,407 of the intercompany debt with FACT Corporation.

On June 10, 2003 we executed an agreement with FACT Corporation and Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. whereby we acquired an interest in certain oil and gas leases held in Rosebud and Garfield Counties, Montana which had previously been sold by FACT Corporation to Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. (previously Terra Nostra Resources Ltd.)  (“Terra Nostra”) for consideration of 40,000 shares of Terra Nostra, a 5% gross overriding royalty on any and all revenues generated from hydro carbon production volumes obtained from the lease lands.  The agreement between Terra Nostra and FACT Corporation was also conditional on Terra Nostra assuming and fulfilling all funding obligations in regard to the first well to be drilled on the Leases.  Terra Nostra advised FACT Corporation that it would not be funding the drilling of the well and therefore FACT Corporation demanded return of the leases.  Under the terms of the agreement FACT Corporation did not have an obligation to return the 40,000 shares of Terra Nostra, however, Terra Nostra offered to transfer to FACT Corporation its interest in the the additional leases located in Washington County, Colorado in exchange for the 40,000 restricted shares of  Terra Nostra.  FACT Corporation agreed to the offer as presented and transferred title to the additional leases located in Washington County, Colorado and the Montana  leases to the Company in exchange for an agreement to pay $10,000. W. Scott Lawler, a director of both FACT Corporation and the Company, was a shareholder in Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. at the time of the transaction.  We received the properties in  consideration of an agreement to pay to  FACT Corporation the amount of $10,000.  Presently the $10,000 is on carried on the books of FACT Corporation and the Company as an intercompany loan.  This amount will become a part of the promissory note to be issued by the Company to FACT Corporation upon the spin off of the Company from FACT Corporation. (See “SPIN OFF” below under this Item 4 on Page 10).  As part of the agreement with FACT Corporation and Terra Nostra Technology Ltd., we also took ownership of a small producing oil and gas well in Colorado.   The Company expended a total of $6,181 for the drilling of an exploration well on the Montana leases during July, 2003.  The well was a dry hole.  The Company still holds an interest in certain of the Montana leases and will be reviewing other potential drilling opportunities on these leases.  The Company will be required to raise additional funds to drill any further wells on these leases as it does not have sufficient capital at this time.


We have been negotiating the acquisition of a producing oil and gas property in Saskatchewan, Canada.  We have been advised that the property can be purchased for $75,000.00.   This property presently generates approximately $40,000 per year in gross revenue providing net annual revenues of approximately $27,000.00.   The Company is unable to take this acquisition further as FACT Corporation, who is presently our sole shareholder has requested that the Company not complete any further acquisitions until the Spin Off (described below) is effective.   If we are successful in completing the acquisition of this property, management believes that it will provide us with sufficient cash flow to meet a substantial portion of our present monthly overhead which is comprised of $2500.00 per month.  Our present monthly overhead is minimal as the Company has no employees and limited operations.   Our present revenues are approximately $1,500 per month.   The present revenues are derived by subleases of space which the Company had initially leased from FACT Corporation for its operations and has now sublet to two sub-tenants and from minimal oil and gas revenue from the Kejr lease.  The revenues we currently generate will not be sufficient to allow us to fund any growth plan for the Company and we will still be required to raise funds or issue shares of the Company to acquire additional oil and gas assets.


SPIN OFF FROM FACT CORPORATION


We are filing this registration statement on Form 20-F pursuant to a decision by the Board of Directors of FACT Corporation to divest itself of its non-core business assets and investments.  Our oil and natural gas holdings no longer fit with FACT Corporation's primary business focus which is the functional food industry.


FACT Corporation intends to distribute our Class A Common shares to the FACT Corporation stockholders on a basis of one (1) share of Capital Canada Class A Common Shares for every five (5) shares of Fact Corporation Class A Common Stock held.  All fractional shares will be rounded up to a whole share.  All of the shares have been held by FACT Corporation since December 8, 1999.  The successful spin-off of Capital Reserve Canada Limited is contingent on the following conditions:


(1)

FACT Corporation's shareholders as of the record date of March 3, 2003, will not provide any consideration for the shares of Capital Canada.

(2)

The shares of Capital Canada will be distributed to the shareholders of FACT Corporation on a pro rata basis and shareholders will receive one (1) share of Capital Canada for every five (5) shares of FACT Corporation held as at March 3, 2003;  no fractional shares will be issued.

(3)

Prior to the spin-off taking place, FACT Corporation will be distributing an information statement in a form that complies with the requirements of Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange ACT of 1934;

BUSINESS OVERVIEW  


The Company, presently a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation, is an Alberta, Canada corporation formed in December 1999 to locate and acquire producing oil and gas assets in Canada.  The Company disposed of its Canadian oil and gas production on May 15, 2003, which consisted of a 5% interest in a field located in Alberta.  The Company has recently determined to locate and acquire oil and gas leases for the purposes of exploration and development both in the U.S. and Canada as well producing oil and gas assets both in the U.S. and Canada.  The Company presently owns interests in oil and gas exploration and development leases in Montana and a producing oil and gas property located in Colorado.  The Company participated in the drilling of an exploration well on the Montana leases in July of 2003, which was a dry hole.  The producing property in Colorado has only one producing well which generates approximately $200 per month.  Future production from this well is expected to be minimal and there is no opportunity for further development of the Colorado property to generate additional revenues.  The Company is presently reviewing other acquisition opportunities both in the U.S., Canada and the Ukraine, both production and exploration properties.


During the period from March 2000 to May 2003, Capital Canada participated in programs for the ongoing development of its primary asset, a 5% interest in six wells and a gathering facility in a producing oil and gas field known as Chestermere, located in Alberta, Canada, which working interest was acquired March 1, 2000. This property was sold by the Company on May 15, 2003. (See “HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY” above on Page 9).


On June 10, 2003, the Company executed an agreement with Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. and FACT Corporation whereby the Company acquired an interest in oil and gas exploration leases located in Rosebud County, Montana and an interest in a small producing oil well in Colorado.


The Montana Leases:


Capital Canada has acquired by negotiated agreement between FACT Corporation, Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. and the Company, a 4% working Interest in 4100 acres of petroleum and natural gas rights in Rosebud County Montana, U.S.A. (the “Montana Leases”).  An eight mile geophysical seismic program has been conducted on these lands to define drilling locations.  The operator of the project identified a 6,400 foot drilling location and Capital Canada participated in the drilling of an exploration well in July, 2003.  Capital Canada's  total portion of  drilling costs was US$6,800. The well was a dry hole. The Company still holds an interest in certain of the Montana leases and will be reviewing other potential drilling opportunities on these leases.  The Company will be required to raise additional funds to drill any further wells on these leases as it does not have sufficient capital at this time. At this time Capital Canada can not predict what the costs related to further exploration might be.


The Kejr Leases:

We have acquired by negotiated agreement between FACT Corporation, Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. and Capital Canada, a 10% interest in certain oil and gas assets, known as the Kejr leases, S/2 Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 56 West, Washington County, Colorado (the “Kejr Leases”).  There is one producing well on the leases, the Kejr 23-11, and one well, the Kejr 24-11, that is presently not producing.

The Kejr 23-11 came on production in December 1996 and the Kejr 24-11, which was a marginal well, was brought on production by the operator in June 1997.  A third well drilled on the Kejr leases, the Keela 34-10, was a dry hole and was shut in.  

The operation of the Kejr 23-11 well and the sale of the oil are managed by the operator, Merit Energy Company ("Merit") and thus we will be dependent upon the expertise of Merit to deliver the output of this well in the most beneficial manner possible. The operating agreement to be executed between Capital Canada and the operator, Merit, requires Merit to comply with any and all environmental and other governmental agency laws, regulations and permit requirements. Merit carries excess liability insurance with a limit of $5,000,000 at a cost of $180.00 per annum. The Company's portion of the liability insurance is $18.00 per annum which is included in the monthly billings for operating costs from the operator of the property. The lease operating costs have been kept current by



11


Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. was quoted $12,000 per annum for extra coverage over and above that carried by Merit as operator, but declined to effect such coverage as the costs were prohibitive. We also intend to decline to purchase any extra insurance coverage.  Any losses or damages caused in the operation of this well that is not covered by operator's insurance would be a liability for us. We believe that the liability insurance carried by the operator is sufficient to pay for any and all claims which may arise from the operation of the well or any breaches of environmental laws, save for any claims which may be due to operator negligence or fraud. We could be named in any litigation brought against the operator by any party and may be found liable should the operator be unable to pay any awards from such litigation. In such event, we could be unable to pay and may not be able to continue to exist. We will also be liable for a pro-rata portion of expenses incurred in the event the well is shut-in which are estimated to be $6,000.  Production from this well is minimal.   Present revenues net approximately $200.00 per month.


Presently a portion of our existing revenue stream and possible future revenue stream depends on revenues obtained from oil and gas operations. Various factors affect the marketability of oil and gas including: market fluctuations, the world price of oil, the supply and demand for gas, the deregulation of gas prices, the proximity to and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, and government regulations including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, the import and export of oil and gas and environmental protection. It is difficult to determine the impact these factors may have on future cash flows. We have analyzed certain requirements for compliance with existing environmental regulations concerning abandonment of shut -in wells and site restoration and have included an estimate of these future costs in its financial statements.

Developed Acreage as at September 30, 2003:


On June 10, 2003 the Company acquired a working interest in 320 total gross acres and 32 total net acres; “gross acres” means acres in which the Company has a working interest and “net acres” means the Company's aggregate working interest in the gross acres.  This acreage relates to S/2 Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 56 West, Washington County, Colorado known as the Kejr leases.


Undeveloped Acreage as at September 30, 2003:


On June 10, 2003 the Company acquired a working interest in

177.1 total gross acres and  95.8 total net acres.  This acreage relates to several sections of land in

Montona known as the Indian Creek leases.  A complete description of the leases can be found in Exhibit 4.8 appended to this filing.



Drilling Activity:


During the last three fiscal years the Company drilled one  net productive dry development well in the Chestermere field in Alberta, Canada.  The well was drilled in the fiscal year ending 2001.  There were no other wells drilled during the last three fiscal years.


The Company participated in the drilling of an exploratory well during 2003 on its recently acquired Montana Leases.  The well was a dry hole.  


Present Activities:


There are no present wells being drilled.  The Company intends to review oil and gas acquisitions both drilling prospects and existing production after completion of the spin off from FACT Corporation.


Delivery Commitments:


The Company does not have any delivery commitments or any short or long term contractual obligations.  


Marketing    


We currently do not conduct any marketing activities.  When we have oil and gas producing properties, the sale of the extracted products is determined by existing market conditions.  We do not believe that any marketing activities will be necessary to conduct operations following the acquisition of any of the properties described above.  The properties described above currently have operators who will be responsible for the marketing.  Should we take on the operatorship of a property then one of the responsibilities would be the marketing of the products.  At this time, we have no plans for becoming an operator.


Competition


Our competition comes from other oil and gas companies that are acquiring oil and gas assets that we would contemplate acquiring due to its investment and capital costs compared to our financial capabilities.  Since our financial resources are severely limited at this time, we are at a distinct disadvantage when competing against companies with significant assets.



13



Employees


We presently have no employees.   We hire consultants as required and rely on present management, being the directors and officers, to direct our business.   We will need to hire employees with experience in the oil and gas industry as we implement our business plan to grow the Company by acquisition of producing oil and gas assets and exploration and development properties which the Company may participate in drilling.  At present, the Company intends to take small interests in a number of properties and does not intend to become the operator of any of the properties.  However, as the Company grows through acquisitions it will require employees with oil and gas expertise to review potential acquisitions and accounting and administrative staff to manage revenues and expenditures.  The Company intends to hire these employees as it raises capital and completes acquisitions requiring these employees.   While the Company does not intend to operate any of the properties it acquires at this time, should the Company find a property or properties of merit which would require an operator, the Company would need to hire additional staff for operations.


REGULATORY MATTERS AFFECTING OUR BUSINESS


Environment and Safety


Capital Canada's oil and gas assets are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection from the time oil and gas projects commence until abandonment. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and production activities, the release of emissions into the atmosphere, the discharge and disposition of generated waste materials, offshore oil and gas operations, the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites and the remediation of contaminated sites. In addition, these laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for the failure to comply with them or for any contamination resulting from the operations associated with Capital Canada's assets.  Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become more stringent in recent years, and may in certain circumstances impose "strict liability," rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Such laws and regulations may expose Capital Canada to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for acts of Capital Canada which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. The application of these requirements or the adoption of new requirements could have a material adverse effect on Capital Canada's financial position and results of operations.


The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto impose a variety of requirements on "responsible parties" related to the prevention of oil spills and liability for damages resulting from such spills. Few defenses exist to the liability imposed by the OPA, and such liability could be substantial. A failure to comply with ongoing requirements or inadequate cooperation in a spill event could subject a responsible party to civil or criminal enforcement action.


Capital Canada takes the issue of environmental stewardship very seriously and works diligently with its operators to insure that compliance with applicable environmental and safety rules and regulations. Compliance with such laws and regulations has not had a material effect on Capital Canada's operations or financial condition in the past. However, because environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly more stringent, there can be no assurances that such laws and regulations or any environmental law or regulation enacted in the future will not have a material effect on Capital Canada's operations or financial condition.


Exploration and Operating Risks


Capital Canada's business is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the exploration for and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, cratering and fire, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, oil and gas wells or formations or production facilities and other property and injury to persons. As protection against financial loss resulting from these operating hazards, the Company maintains, through its operators, insurance coverage, including certain physical damage, employer's liability, comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance. Although Capital Canada is not insured against all risks in all aspects of its business, such as political risk, business interruption risk and risk of major terrorist attacks, Capital Canada believes that the coverage it maintains is customary for companies engaged in similar operations. The occurrence of a significant event against which Capital Canada is not fully insured would have a material adverse effect on Capital Canada's financial position.

PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT


Our principal corporate and administrative offices are located at 1530-9th Avenue S.E. Calgary, Alberta, Canada and are presently provided free of charge by FACT Corporation.  We may be required to find other space or enter into an agreement with FACT Corporation for some cash consideration to remain in the present space.  At the time of the spin-off from FACT Corporation, we will be required to either finalize an agreement for space or locate other available space to move to.


 We also have approximately 2,821 square feet of office and laboratory space at another Calgary, Alberta commercial building held under a lease from FACT Corporation that expires on October 31, 2005. This space is located at 335-25th Street S.E., Calgary, Alberta .  The financial commitment under the terms of this lease is the payment of CDN$2,822 per month plus operating costs estimated at $8.00 per sq ft for 2003.  We have sublet all of the space in this building and therefore no space is available for us to occupy.   As sublessor we executed a sublease agreement with T2/H2B Analytical Services, Inc. on October 30, 2000 for approximately 2,409 square feet at a rate of CDN$3,212 per month plus operating costs estimated at $8.00 per sq ft for 2003, for the period of November 1, 2000 to October 31, 2003 at which time the rate increases to CDN$3,614 per month plus operating costs until the expiry of the sublease on October 31, 2005.  As sublessor we also executed a one year sublease with Canada Chemical Corporation which expires on December 31, 2003 for the remaining square footage with a monthly rental rate of CDN$727.00 plus operating costs until November 1, 2003 at which point the monthly rental rate increases to CDN$848 plus operating costs.   As of the date of this filing, Canada Chemical Corporation has provided us with notice of its intent to continue to sublease the space on a month to month basis.  Should the Canada Chemical Corporation space become available it would not be suitable for us to move into  it is laboratory space and cannot be converted to office space.   We have identified another subtenant for the space should it become available.


Oil and Natural Gas Properties


As described above under this Item 4, under the subheading “BUSINESS OVERVIEW – The Montana Leases” on Page 11, we have acquired a 4% working interest in certain development acreage located in Montana, previously described as the Montana Leases.  During July 2003 we participated in the drilling of an exploratory well on this property.  The well was a dry hole.



15



As discussed above under this Item 4, under the subheading “BUSINESS OVERVIEW – The Kejr Leases” on Page 11, we have acquired a 10% interest in certain oil and gas leases in Colorado, known as the Kejr leases, S/2 Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 56 West, Washington County, Colorado. There is one producing well on the leases, the Kejr 23-11, and one well, the Kejr 24-11, which is presently not producing.


ITEM 5.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS


OPERATING RESULTS


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we earned $77,354 in petroleum and natural gas revenue and $39,028 in rental income, while during fiscal year 2001 we earned $94,864 and $39,638 respectively.  Our operating expenses in fiscal year 2002 decreased to $129,669 from $702,249 in fiscal year 2001.  Such decrease in operating expenses was largely due to a one time loss due to impairment of $497,397 realized in year 2001. We also realized reduced administrative expenses and consultants fees in year 2002 ($15,060 and $13,148 respectively) compared to such expenses in year 2001 ($45,635 and $30,000 respectively).  This was due to reduced activity during year 2002 as the Company was not actively pursuing additional acquisition opportunities.



During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 we earned $28,811 in petroleum and natural gas revenue ($57,026 – September 30, 2002) and $24,872 in rental income ($29,136 – September 30, 2002).  Operating expenses over the comparative periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were substantially reduced and totaled $38,145 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus $73,852 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The reduction in operating expenses over the comparative nine month periods was primarily the result of decreased petroleum and natural related costs and a decrease in the recorded depreciation of the producing oil and gas asset due to its divestiture in May, 2003.

.

Our net loss for year 2002 was $21,429 compared to a net loss for year 2001 of $581,362.  There was net income of $19,577 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $9,043 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The reported net income for the nine months ended September 2003 is primarily the result of a gain resulting from the divestiture of our primary oil and gas asset in May 2003, the gain totaled $25,263.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


As of December 31, 2002, we had total assets of $87,578 compared to total assets of $123,708 as of December 31, 2001.   This reduction in assets was predominantly caused by a sale of certain office equipment and computers during the year and depletion associated with the producing oil and gas assets.  As at September 30, 2003 we had total assets of $20,207 as compared to $147,439 as at September 30, 2002.  The reduction in total assets is related to the sale of the Company's producing oil and gas asset in May 2003.


As of December 31, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of $231,220, compared to a working capital deficit at December 31, 2001 of $99,843.  The decrease in our working capital was mainly due to a reduction in our loan payable during fiscal year 2002, which was partially offset by an increase in loans from related parties. As at September 30, 2003 we had a working capital deficit of $6,836 as compared to $100,133 at September 30, 2002, which reduction was predominantly related to a substantial reduction in loans payable and accounts payable.  As of December 31, 2002, our accumulated deficit was $648,978, compared to an accumulated deficit of $626,074 as of December 31, 2001.  As of September 30, 2003 our accumulated deficit was $654,028 as compared to an accumulated deficit of $637,970 as at September 30, 2002.


We financed our operations during fiscal year 2002 through loans from our parent corporation totaling $116,757 and loan proceeds from related and arm's length third parties of $25,828.   We used cash in operations of $19,971 and used cash in investing activities of $5,836.


Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 continued to be financed through loans from our parent corporation and net income from our producing oil and gas assets and rental property.  However, the divestiture of our producing oil and gas asset in May 2003 allowed the Company to substantially reduce accounts payable and loans payable.  Cash flows used in operations totaled $20,602, cash flows from investing activities total $110,224 and we had a reduction in cash flows from financing activities of $58,446 as at September 30, 2003.

Note 4 to our financial statements indicates that the company is in technical default of certain covenants under the loan agreement with Alberta Treasury Branches.  The Company retired the loan in full on May 15, 2003 from the proceeds of the sale of the Chestermere oil and gas interest.


There is an amount of $6,092 due to an arms length third party on the financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2002.  This loan has no fixed terms of repayment, bears interest at the rate of  20% per annum.


The Company has oil and gas leases in the amount of $76,921 and $95,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively that are currently classified on the balance sheet as tangible assets.  In the event that it is determined that SFAS 141 and 142 are applicable to these oil and gas mineral rights, the Company would be required to classify its oil and gas mineral rights held under lease and other contractual arrangements separately from oil and gas properties as intangible assets on our balance sheet and additional disclosures required by SFAS No 141 and No 142 relative to intangibles would be included in the notes to financial statements.


This interpretation of SFAS 141 and 142 would only affect the classification of oil and gas leases on the Company's balance sheet and would not affect total assets, net worth or cash flows.  The Company's results of operations would not be affected, since these leasehold costs would continue to be amortized under existing accounting standards.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.


The Company has no research and development activity.  


TREND INFORMATION


Capital Canada is not aware as of the filing of this Registration Statement of any known trends, uncertainities, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its financial condition, other than the acquisitions of the Montana Leases and the Kejr Leases, discussed above under “ITEM 4 – INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY - BUSINESS OVERVIEW – The Montana Leases”.  The Company acquired certain leases or property located in the State of Montana  and participated in the drilling of a well on the Montana leases in July, 2003 at a cost of $6,181.  This well was a dry hole. At present, there are no further  financial commitments on the Montana leases save for those costs to maintain the leases which is anticipated to be approximately $250 per year.  The ongoing operating costs of the Kejr leases are presently covered by revenue from such leases.


The Company sold its oil and gas assets on May 15, 2003 to Hornet Energy Ltd., a division of Compton Petroleum Corporation, a company located in Calgary, Alberta for CDN$150,000  (approximately $112,964 US). As a result of the divestiture of this asset the Company does not expect to experience a dramatic change in revenues and expenses.  During the two most recently completed fiscal years, revenues and expenses related to this producing property have been close to equal, resulting in insignificant net income and/or expenses during any particular period. The Company has however reduced its payment obligations to the Alberta Treasury Branch by paying off that loan and therefore its expenditures will be reduced by approximately $7,000.00 per month in loan payments and interest from this loan.  The Company is currently reviewing various other oil and gas opportunities for acquisition.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 7.

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS


Currently, we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation which presently owns 2,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock based the completion of a forward split of 2000 to 1 approved on May 28, 2003.  


As part of our planned spin off, the shareholders of FACT Corporation would receive a proportionate number of our Class A Common Shares based on the number of shares which they own of FACT Corporation. A list showing our principal shareholders following the spin-off is provided above under Item 6 above.  The Company's major shareholders following the spin-off will not have any different voting rights than any of the other shareholders of the Company.


After giving effect to the spin off (described on Page 10 under Spin Off) there will be a total of 56 shareholders in Canada holding a total of  739,916 Class A Common shares of the Company.


RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


We are not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, of any of our directors or officers, any person beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of our voting securities, or any associate or affiliate of



22


any such person in any transaction within the last three years or in any proposed transaction which in either case has materially affected or will materially affect the Company or its subsidiaries.

As of April 24, 2000, FACT Corporation entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. W. Scott Lawler, who was at that time a member of Capital Canada's Board of Directors and its Secretary- Treasurer and the President of FACT Corporation and a member of its Board of Directors, pursuant to which Mr. Lawler agreed to relocate to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to work at FACT Corporation's facilities in Calgary and devote more substantial time to the operations of FACT Corporation. The term of the Consulting Agreement was 2 years, with an option on Mr. Lawler's part to extend for 1 additional year, which was extended.   Mr. Lawler received an annual salary of $75,000.00, plus stock options (at terms yet to be determined) and automatic annual salary increases of 15%. As a further inducement to Mr. Lawler to move to Calgary on Fact Corporation's behalf, FACT Corporation purchased a home for Mr. Lawler's personal use. The purchase price of the home was $541,241. FACT Corporation assumed a variable interest rate mortgage from Alberta Treasury Branch in the amount of $384,554 amortized over 25 years. On May 1, 2005, the loan can either be repaid or renewed with the interest rate converted to the then prevailing rate. The monthly payments of principal and interest are $2,636, which Mr. Lawler is obligated to make, along with all payments for property taxes, property insurance and maintenance. Title to such property is in the name of FACT Corporation. Mr. Lawler provided funds to FACT Corporation in the amount of $167,842 to pay for the down payment and all closing costs associated with the purchase. The funds were provided in the form of a subscription for shares of Fact Corporation's Class A common stock at the purchase price of $1.00 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration found in Rule 506 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. The net proceeds to FACT Corporation realized from this offering was $167,842, as this offering was made without the use of any agent or salesman and was conducted without any costs, commissions or finders' fees. If Mr. Lawler's Consulting Agreement expires or is terminated, Mr. Lawler will have the option to purchase the property by assuming the mortgage and returning to FACT Corporation 167,842 shares of its Class A Common Stock. Such purchase must be completed within 120 days of termination of the Consulting Agreement. If Mr. Lawler does not exercise his option to purchase the property, FACT Corporation will be obligated for the mortgage payments and other costs associated with this property. If and when the property is sold, FACT Corporation will receive any and all gains (and/or losses) from such sale, less the cost of any pre-approved improvements to the property paid for by Mr. Lawler. However, Mr. Lawler has the option of acquiring title to the property (and thus all resulting gains or losses) by: (a) assuming or paying off FACT Corporation's mortgage; and (b) surrendering to FACT Corporation the 167,842 shares of Class A common stock obtained from FACT Corporation in a private placement.

During the fiscal year ended December, 2000, 447017 B.C. Ltd., a private British Columbia corporation, earned consulting fees of $37,500 from Capital Reserve Canada Limited. Mr. James F. Marsh, who was the President of Capital Reserve Canada Limited, is the beneficial owner of 447017 B.C. Ltd.

During the fiscal year ended December 2000 FACT Corporation provided funds in the form of a loan in the amount of $293,500 to Ocean Exploration Ltd., a Belize corporation, which at that time was a greater than 5% shareholder of FACT Corporation. The loan was secured by the assignment of a convertible debenture over the assets of Texas T Resources Inc., which is a public reporting company in the Province of Alberta.  The loan earned interest at a rate of prime plus 2% and was payable on demand. The loan has been repaid.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 Caribbean Overseas Investments Limited, a Belize corporation, and greater than 5% shareholder, provided funds totaling $208,240 to FACT Corporation as general working capital in the form of a loan.

In August 2001 FACT Corporation  entered into a head lease agreement for 3,072 square feet of office space at one of its commercial facilities with International Securities Group Inc. ("ISG"). ISG is a junior venture capital company, whose sole shareholder is a director of the Company, Mr. W. Scott Lawler, who also serves as a member of FACT Corporation's and Capital Canada's Board of Directors. ISG has subleased office space to its clients and to unrelated third parties, all of whom are junior development companies.

Scott Lawler, a director of FACT Corporation and Capital Canada is the sole shareholder and beneficial owner of International Securities Group Inc.

23


 common directors, Mr. James F. Marsh and Mr. N.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 Ultimate Resort Destinations Inc., a Nevada corporation which at the time of the mortgage shared a common officer and director with FACT Corporation, Ms. Jacqueline Danforth, provided funds totaling $211,115 in the form of a mortgage to FACT Corporation in respect of renovations made to certain of FACT Corporation's real property. The mortgage accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum, expiring April 11, 2002. This holder released the property from the mortgage thereafter, and the balance due was converted to a Secured Convertible Debenture on December 31, 2002, along with other amounts loaned to FACT Corporation up to that date. The Secured Convertible Debenture is in the total amount of $650,000. As part of this agreement, FACT Corporation issued to Ultimate 107,250 restricted shares of its Class A Common Stock. For purposes of financial reporting the shares were valued at the 10 day average trading price of the Company's shares, or $0.3645, for a total of $39,093. The Secured Convertible Debenture accrues interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and matures on December 31, 2004. Payments of accrued interest are due and payable on the last day of each month, up to maturity, at which point principal and any accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable. The principal amount of this debenture is convertible into shares of FACT Corporation's Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. If the shares underlying the debenture are registered by FACT Corporation with the SEC in an effective registration statement and the market price of FACT Corporation's Class A Common Stock exceeds $1.00 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, the balance of this debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock.   The Convertible Debenture covers all of the assets of FACT Corporation including the shares of Capital Canada and FACT Corporation will be required to negotiate a release of the shares of Capital Canada in order to complete the spin off.

During the fiscal year ended December, 2002, 447017 B.C. Ltd., a private British Columbia corporation, earned consulting fees of $3,000 from Capital Reserve Canada Limited. Mr. James F. Marsh, who was the President of Capital Reserve Canada Limited, is the beneficial owner of 447017 B.C. Ltd.

(previously Terra Nostra Resources Ltd.). W. Scott Lawler, a director of FACT Corporation and the Company was a shareholder in Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. at the time of the transaction.  We received the properties in consideration of an agreement to pay to FACT Corporation the amount of $10,000.  Presently the $10,000 is on carried on the books of FACT Corporation and the Company as an intercompany loan.  This amount will become a part of the promissory note to be issued by the Company to FACT Corporation upon the spin off of the Company from FACT Corporation.  As part of the agreement with FACT Corporation and Terra Nostra Technology Ltd., the Company will also take ownership of a small producing oil and gas well in Colorado.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


SHARE CAPITAL


We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A and Class B common shares, no par value, of which 2,000,000 Class A Common shares will be issued and outstanding immediately upon the acceptance for filing of the articles of amendment relating to a forward split at a ratio of 2,000 to 1 approved on May 28, 2003 by the Company's sole shareholder.   We are also authorized to issue an unlimited number of First Preferred Shares, no par value, of which none have been issued to date.  


On December 8, 1999, FACT Corporation (formerly known as Capital Reserve Corporation) purchased 1,000 Class A Common Shares of Capital Reserve Canada Ltd. at a price of CDN $0.10 for a total purchase price of CDN $100.00.  On May 28, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors and its sole shareholder took action to forward split the Company's outstanding Common shares at a ratio of 2,000 to 1, resulting in 2,000,000 shares issued and outstanding.  These shares will then be distributed by FACT Corporation to its shareholders at a ratio of 1 share of Capital Reserve Canada Ltd. for every 5 shares of FACT Corporation.  Any shares that are remaining in the name of FACT Corporation following the share distribution will be held by FACT Corporation for the benefit of FACT Corporation.


On May 12, 2003, the Board of Directors issued options to N. Desmond Smith, our President, in connection with his services as our President.  These options are exercisable into 24,000 Class A common shares with an exercise price of CDN $0.01 per share.  Under the terms of the option agreement, the date which is 30 days following the date on which we commence trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or its successor, the Bulletin Board Exchange, is considered the monthly anniversary date for purposes of the option agreement.  Commencing on the first monthly anniversary of the option agreement, 1,000 options shall vest.  On each subsequent monthly anniversary, 1,000 options will vest.  As of the date of this filing, no options had vested.

28



MATERIAL CONTRACTS


Each of our material contracts has been described within this Form 20-F and attached.


EXCHANGE CONTROLS


There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation of Canada that may affect the import or export of capital for use.


Other than the withholding of any taxes due under the terms of specific treaties between countries on dividends paid to shareholders of the Corporation there are no restrictions on the remittance of dividends, interests or other payments.


TAXATION


The discussions below summarize the material tax considerations relevant to an investment in common shares by individuals and corporations who, for income tax purposes, are resident in the U.S. for purposes of the Convention (as hereinafter defined) and are not resident in Canada, who hold common shares as a capital asset, and who do not hold the common shares in carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Canada or in connection with a fixed base in Canada (collectively, "Unconnected U. S. Shareholders" or "Holders"). The tax consequences of an investment in common shares by investors who are not Unconnected U.S. Shareholders may differ substantially from the tax consequences discussed herein. The discussion of U.S. tax consideration is addressed only to Unconnected U. S. Shareholders whose "functional currency" within the meaning of Section 985 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is the U. S. dollar, and to U. S. citizens who are not residents in the U.S. for the purpose of the Convention, but who otherwise meet the definition of Unconnected U.S. Shareholders. Furthermore, the discussion of U.S. tax consideration does not address the tax treatment of Unconnected U. S. Shareholders that own, or are deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to own, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of Capital Reserve Canada Limited. The discussion of Canadian tax considerations does not address the tax treatment of a trust, company, organization or other arrangement that is a resident of the U.S. and that is generally exempt from U. S. tax.


This discussion does not address all of the income tax consequences that may be applicable to any Holder subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax law or to any particular Holder in light of such Holder's particular facts and circumstances. Some Holders, including tax exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and persons who hold common shares as part of a hedging transaction may be subject to special or different rules not discussed below. The discussion of U.S. tax considerations is based on the provisions of the Code.


 The discussion of Canadian tax consideration is based upon the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended from time to time (the "Tax Act"), the Convention between Canada and the U.S. with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital, as amended from time to time (the "Convention"), and the Company's understanding of published administrative practices of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and judicial decision, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions in the U. S.


U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations


Unconnected U.S. Shareholders generally will treat the gross amount of the distributions paid by the Company, including the amount of any Canadian tax withheld, as foreign source dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distribution in excess of that amount will reduce an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder's tax basis in the common shares, but not below zero, and the remainder, if any, will be treated as taxable capital gains. In general, in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder may elect for each taxable year whether to claim a deduction or, subject to the limitations described below, a credit for Canadian taxes withheld from dividends paid on its common shares. If the Unconnected U.S. Shareholder elects to claim a credit for such Canadian taxes, the election will be binding for all foreign taxes paid or accrued by the Shareholder for such taxable year. The Code applies various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credit that may be available to a U.S. taxpayer based upon the segregation of foreign source income into separate categories of income. The amount of credit which may be claimed with respect to the category of income to which the dividend is allocated, and to which



29


the foreign taxes are attributable generally may not exceed the same portion of the U.S. tax on worldwide taxable income, before applying the foreign tax credit as the U.S. holder's foreign source taxable income allocation to such category bears to such U.S. holder's entire taxable income. The foreign tax credit is disallowed for dividends on stock unless a minimum holding period is satisfied and additional limitations may restrict the ability of some individuals to claim the foreign tax credit. Accordingly, we urge investors to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential consequences to them of the foreign tax credit limitations.


For U. S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of any distributions made on a common share to an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder in Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars calculated by reference to the appropriate exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt of the distribution, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are actually converted into U.S. dollars upon receipt. Unconnected U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any Canadian dollars which are converted into U.S. dollars subsequent to receipt by the shareholder.


The sale of common shares generally will result in a gain or loss to the Holder in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Holder's adjusted cost basis in the shares. Provided that the Holder is not considered a "dealer' in the shares sold, gain or loss on the sale of the common shares will generally be capital gain or loss.


Capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Individual taxpayers may deduct the excess of capital losses over capital gains of up to US$3,000 a year, US$1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately, from ordinary income. Non-corporate taxpayers may carry forward unused capital losses indefinitely.  Unused capital losses of a corporation may be carried back three years and carried forward five years.


Canadian Tax Considerations


Dividends received or deemed to be received, on the common shares by Unconnected U.S. Shareholders will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to reduction under the Convention. Under the Convention, the maximum rate of withholding tax on such dividends is reduced to 15% if the beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder. However, that rate is reduced to 5% under the Convention if the beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder that is a corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the company.


An Unconnected U.S. Shareholder will not be subject to tax in Canada on any capital gain realized upon the disposition or deemed disposition of the common shares, provided that the common shares do not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the shareholder within the meaning of the Tax Act.


Canada does not currently impose any estate taxes or succession duties.

Independent Accountants' Report




Board of Directors

Capital Reserve Canada Limited


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Capital Reserve Canada Limited as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 presentations. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Reserve Canada Limited as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations, its stockholders' equity, and its cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2, the Company has suffered operating losses since inception that raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


This summary of significant accounting policies of Capital Reserve Canada Limited (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.


Organization


The Company is an Alberta, Canada corporation formed in December 1999 to locate and acquire producing oil and gas assets in Canada. The Company also engages in exploration and development conducted by third party operators. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation, a publicly traded Colorado corporation.


Operations


At the time of this report, the Company owned interests in producing oil and gas properties located in Alberta, Canada.


Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements


The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Depreciation


Depreciation has been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives principally on the straight-line method from two to five years.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Currency


The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements are translated to United States dollars at current exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at the average rates prevailing during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity.


(Loss) Per Share


(Loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.






F-8



Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (“SFAS 107”), Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current expenses, and the current portions of notes payable approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.


Valuation of Long-Lived Assets


The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Income taxes

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes oil and gas sales upon delivery to the purchaser using the sales method.  Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of gas and oil sold to purchasers.  The volumes sold may differ from the volumes to which we are entitled based on our interests in the properties and are generally reflected as adjustments to reported proved reserves.  Should the Company's excess sales exceed its share of estimated remaining recoverable reserves a liability is recorded.


The Company recognizes revenue for rental income on a monthly basis when the payments are due under the lease agreements unless the Company determines that collection is unlikely.


Other

The company has selected December 31 as its year-end.


The Company paid no dividends in 2002 or 2001.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported statements to conform to the Company's current financial statement format.


Note 2 – Basis of Presentation


Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has reported a net liability position and has accumulated operation losses since its inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of creditors and stockholders and upon obtaining the capital requirements for the continuing operations of the Company.  Management believes actions planned and presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.






F-9



Note 3 Oil and Gas Activities


During the year 2000, the Company acquired a 5% interest in a producing oil and gas field in the Crossfield Area of Alberta, Canada that included four wells and a gathering facility.  The total cost of the acquisition, $612,788 (CDN$900,000), was paid in cash of $204,263 together with 817,050 shares of the parent's common stock at a deemed price of $0.50 per share.


The Company has elected to follow the full cost method of accounting for its oil & gas activities.  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.


All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are depleted on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves.  Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If the results of an assessment of unproved properties indicate that they are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.


In addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a “ceiling test”, which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value” discounted at a 10 percent interest rate of future net revenues from proved reserves based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.  At December 31, 2001, the Company determined that the present value of the estimated future net revenues of its properties was lower than the capitalized costs and that the limitation of the ceiling test would apply.  Resulting from this limitation, the net carrying value of the Company's oil and gas assets was reduced by $497,397 at December 31, 2001.


Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.  Abandonment of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.


During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company and its industry partners in the Crossfield Area became aware that it was no longer economically feasible to produce all of the oil and gas reserves previously estimated to be productive.  Therefore, estimated future producible volumes of oil and gas were reduced substantially, from an estimated 68,197 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE, wherein 6 Mcf of gas equals one barrel of oil) at December 31, 2000, to 18,330 BOE at December 31, 2001.  Oil prices also declined significantly during 2001, from an effective rate of $28.53 per BOE at December 31, 2000, to $21.37 per BOE at December 31, 2001.


During the year ending December 31, 2002, the Company and its industry partners in the Crossfield Area experienced a significant decline in overall production from the area's producing wells.  Production performance is a key component utilized in the calculation of reserves.  The proven producible reserves from the producing wells, was therefore reduced in 2002 by 6,698 BOE (using 6 Mcf of gas equals one barrel of oil).  This decline was offset somewhat with the recompletion of the 7-21-23-28W4 well in the belly river formation.  The December 31, 2002 net proven producible reserves are estimated at 12,799 BOE or a reduction in reserves from the previous year ending of 5,531 BOE.






F-10



As at the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 there were five producing wells located on these properties that had gross sales totaling 39,715 bbls of oil, 60,570 BOE of gas and 3,145 bbls of other products. The average sales price per barrel of oil produced was $23.02 and the average sale price for gas produced was $2.67 per MCF. The average lifting cost per equivalent barrel of oil (gas volumes were converted to oil volumes assuming 6 MCF of gas equals 1 barrel of oil) during 2002 was $7.62.  During the previous fiscal year there were five producing wells located on these properties that had total sales of 46,200 bbls of oil, 51,840 BOE of gas and 220 bbls of other products.   As at December 31, 2002, the Company holds a 5.348% interest in these five producing wells. The average sales price per barrel of oil produced was $21.37 and the average sale price for gas produced was $3.25 per MCF. The average lifting cost per equivalent barrel of oil (gas volumes were converted to oil volumes assuming 6 MCF of gas equals 1 barrel of oil) during 2001 was $7.08.

Capitalized leashold costs by geographic areas are as follows:

Net deferred income tax asset


As of December 31, 2002 the Company's non-capital losses of approximately $23,000 and cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expenses of approximately $601,000 are carried forward for tax purposes and are available to reduce taxable income of future years. The non-capital losses expire in 2007. The cumulative Canadian oil and gas property expenses can be forward indefinitely. No deferred income taxes have been recorded because of the uncertainty of future taxable income to offset. These carryforwards may not be available if there is a significant change in ownership of the company.


The reconciliation of income tax (benefit) computed at the statutory rate to income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:

Note 8 – Segment reporting

The Company's operations consist of one reportable segment, which derives its revenue from the sale of oil, natural gas, and related products.


Note 9 – Risks and Uncertainties


The Company is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties inherent in the operation of oil and gas properties.  These risks include volatility of oil and gas prices and currency fluctuations, competitive factors, technology risks, market availability, and uncertainties involved in the estimation and valuation of reserves.


Note 10 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations.”  The Statement is to be adopted for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets”.  In accordance with certain provisions of the Statement, goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 is not amortized.  All provision of the Statement are required to be applied in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.   SFAS No 143 establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost.  The Company adopted this Statement for the year ending December 31, 2003.  The adoption of this Statement did not materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.






F-12



In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections”.  SFAS 145 which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, provided guidance for income statement classification of gains and losses on extinguishments of debt and accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.  The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”.  SFAS 146 nullifies the guidance of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”.  SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.  SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability.  The provisions of SFAS 146 are required for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”.  SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provided alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on the reported results.  The provision of SFAS 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, which expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees.  The adoption of the Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 142 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in June 2001 and have been adopted by the Company.  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and additionally, includes certain definitions of intangible assets and requires reporting separately certain intangible assets.  SFAS 142 establishes new guidelines for accounting and disclosures for goodwill and other intangible assets.  The application of SFAS 141 and 142 to oil and gas mineral rights held under contractual arrangements, including leases, is uncertain.


The Company has oil and gas leases in the amount of $76,921 and $95,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively that are currently classified on the balance sheet as tangible assets.  In the event that it is determined that SFAS 141 and 142 are applicable to these oil and gas mineral rights, the Company would be required to classify its oil and gas mineral rights held under lease and other contractual arrangements separately from oil and gas properties as intangible assets on our balance sheet and additional disclosures required by SFAS No 141 and No 142 relative to intangibles would be included in the notes to financial statements.






F-13



This interpretation of SFAS 141 and 142 would only affect the classification of oil and gas leases on the Company's balance sheet and would not affect total assets, net worth or cash flows.  The Company's results of operations would not be affected, since these leasehold costs would continue to be amortized under existing accounting standards.


Note 11 – Stockholders Equity


The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Common shares with no par value, an unlimited number of Class B Common shares with no par value and an unlimited number of First Preferred shares with no par value.  No shares of Class B Common Stock or First Preferred Stock have been issued to date.


On May 28, 2003, the Company’s sole shareholder executed a resolution to split the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the basis of 2,000 shares to 1 bringing the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock to 2,000,000 shares.  All share and per share data shown reflect post-split quantities.

Reserve Information:


 At the time of preparation of this report all of the Company's reserves were located in the province of Alberta, Canada. All of the Company's reserves discussed in this section were sold in May, 2003. The following estimates of proved developed reserve quantities and related standardized measure of discounted cash flow are estimates only, and do not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market values of the Company's reserves.  The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.


Proved reserves are estimated reserves of crude oil (including condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those expected to be recovered through existing wells, equipment, and operating methods.






F-15



The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (Edmonton Light Sweet for oil and Edmonton spot for gas, without consideration for price changes since the Company has no long-term contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves, less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available credits, and assuming continuation of  existing economic conditions.  The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using a rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.

Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


This summary of significant accounting policies of Capital Reserve Canada Limited (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.


Organization


The Company is an Alberta, Canada corporation formed in December 1999 to locate and acquire producing oil and gas assets in Canada. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT Corporation, a publicly traded Colorado corporation.


Operations


The Company owns interests in development oil and gas leases located in Montana and Colorado, USA.


Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements


The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Depreciation


Depreciation has been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives principally on the straight-line method from two to five years.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Currency


The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements are translated to United States dollars at current exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at the average rates prevailing during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity.


(Loss) Per Share


(Loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (“SFAS 107”), Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current expenses, and the current portions of notes payable approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.






F-22


Valuation of Long-Lived Assets


The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Income taxes

The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Other

The company has selected December 31 as its year-end.


The Company paid no dividends in 2002 or 2001, or to the date of this report.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported statements to conform to the Company's current financial statement format.


Note 2 – Basis of Presentation


Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has reported a net liability position and has accumulated operation losses since its inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of creditors and stockholders and upon obtaining the capital requirements for the continuing operations of the Company.  Management believes actions planned and presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.


Note 3 Oil and Gas Activities


The Company sold its 5% interest in  a producing oil and gas field in the Crossfield Area of Alberta Canada that included four wells and a gathering facility that it acquired during the year 2000.  The total cost of the acquisition, $612,788 (CDN$900,000), was paid in cash of $204,263 together with 817,050 shares of the parent's common stock at a deemed price of $0.50 per share.


As at the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 there were five producing wells located on these properties that had gross sales totaling 39,715 bbls of oil, 60,570 BOE of gas and 3,145 bbls of other products. The average sales price per barrel of oil produced was $23.02 and the average sale price for gas produced was $2.67 per MCF. The average lifting cost per equivalent barrel of oil (gas volumes were converted to oil volumes assuming 6 MCF of gas equals 1 barrel of oil) during 2002 was $7.62.  During the year ending December 31, 2002, the Company and its industry partners in the Crossfield Area experienced a significant decline in overall production from the area's producing wells.  Production performance is a key component utilized in the calculation of reserves.  The proven producible reserves from the producing wells, was therefore reduced in 2002 by 6,698 BOE (using 6 Mcf of gas equals one barrel of oil).  This decline was offset somewhat with the recompletion of the 7-21-23-28W4 well in the belly river formation.  The December 31, 2002 net proven producible reserves are estimated at 12,799 BOE.  The Company's average monthly net loss from this interest for fiscal year 2002 was $58.  






F-23



On May 15, 2003 the Company sold this interest to the operator, Hornet Energy Ltd.  for CDN$150,000 or approximately US$112,964.  Because the sale included all of the oil and gas properties owned by the Company, all capitalized costs were reducted to zero and the Company  recorded a gain of $24,821 in respect of the sale of this asset.  The Company does not expect to experience a dramatic change in revenues and expenses as a result of the divestiture of this asset since for the two most recently completed fiscal years, revenues and expenses related to this producing property have been close to equal, resulting in insignificant net income and/or expenses during any particular period.  The Company has however reduced its payment obligations to the Alberta Treasury Branch by paying off that loan and therefore its expenditures will be reduced by approximately $7,000.00 per month in loan payments and interest from this loan.


The Company has elected to follow the full cost method of accounting for its oil & gas activities.  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized and grouped into costs pools by geographic area..


All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are depleted on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves.  Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  If the results of an assessment of unproved properties indicate that they are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.


In addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a “ceiling test”, which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the “estimated present value” discounted at a 10 percent interest rate of future net revenues from proved reserves based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.


Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas (including the sale of all properties in a cost pool), in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.  Abandonment of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized.


On June 10, 2003, the  Company executed an agreement with FACT Corporation and Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. whereby we acquired an interest in certain oil and gas leases held in Rosebud and Garfield Counties, Montana which had previously been sold by FACT Corporation to Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. (previously Terra Nostra Resources Ltd.). W. Scott Lawler, a director of FACT Corporation and the Company was a shareholder in Terra Nostra Technology Ltd. at the time of the transaction.  We received the properties in consideration of an agreement to pay to FACT Corporation the amount of $10,000.  Presently the $10,000 is on carried on the books of FACT Corporation and the Company as an intercompany loan.  This amount will become a part of the promissory note to be issued by the Company to FACT Corporation upon the spin off of the Company from FACT Corporation.  As part of the agreement with FACT Corporation and Terra Nostra Technology Ltd., the Company will also take ownership of a small producing oil and gas well in Colorado.   


During the quarter the Company expended a total of $6,181 for the drilling of an exploration well on the Montana leases discussed above.  The well was a dry hole.  The Company still holds an interest in certain of the Montana leases and will be reviewing other potential drilling opportunities on these leases.

Note 4 Loans Payable


During the quarter the Company retired in full a revolving bank term loan with the Alberta Treasury Branches in the amount of $33,985 (CDN$50,000) upon receipt of proceeds from the sale of certain oil and gas assets (refer to Note 3 above).  As of the date of this report, the Company has outstanding loans payable totaling $996 from arms length third parties.  The loans are unsecured and interest is charged at 18% per annum.

Note 5 Related Party Payables and Transactions


During the quarter,  all loans from related parties consisting of amounts due to companies that are controlled by a director of the Company and amounts due to shareholders of the parent, FACT Corporation, were retired by the issuance of shares from FACT Corporation. The loans are unsecured and interest is charged at rates between 10% and 20% p.a.


Due to parent consists of amounts advanced from the Company's parent, and are non-interest bearing.


The Company paid rent and property costs to its parent in the amounts of $17,985 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and $15,987  for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company paid consulting fees totaling $2,742 to a Company controlled by a director of the Company.  The Company also paid management fees of $3,000 to a company controlled by a director of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Note 8 – Segment reporting


The Company's operations consist of one reportable segment, which derives its revenue from the sale of oil, natural gas, and related products.


Note 9 – Risks and Uncertainties


The Company is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties inherent in the operation of oil and gas properties. These risks include volatility of oil and gas prices and currency fluctuations, competitive factors, technology risks, market availability, and uncertainties involved in the estimation and valuation of reserves.


Note 10 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations.”  The Statement is to be adopted for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.






F-25


 The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets”.  In accordance with certain provisions of the Statement, goodwill acquired after June 30, 2001 is not amortized.  All provision of the Statement are required to be applied in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2001.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”.   SFAS No 143 establishes accounting standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost.  The Company adopted this Statement for the year ending December 31, 2002.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Recission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections”.  SFAS 145 which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, provided guidance for income statement classification of gains and losses on extinguishments of debt and accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.  The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”.  SFAS 146 nullifies the guidance of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”.  SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a costs that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.  SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability.  The provision of SFAS 146 are required for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”.  SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provided alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on the reported results.  The provision of SFAS 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of this Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, which expands previously issued accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for certain guarantees.  The adoption of the Statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 142 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in June 2001 and have been adopted by the Company.  SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and additionally, includes certain definitions of intangible assets and requires reporting separately certain intangible assets.  SFAS 142 establishes new guidelines for accounting and disclosures for goodwill and other intangible assets.  The application of SFAS 141 and 142 to oil and gas mineral rights held under contractual arrangements, including leases, is uncertain.


The Company has oil and gas leases in the amount of $76,921 and $95,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively that are currently classified on the balance sheet as tangible assets.  In the event that it is determined that SFAS 141 and 142 are applicable to these oil and gas mineral rights, the Company would be required to classify its oil and gas mineral rights held under lease and other contractual arrangements separately from oil and gas properties as intangible assets on our balance sheet and additional disclosures required by SFAS No 141 and No 142 relative to intangibles would be included in the notes to financial statements.


This interpretation of SFAS 141 and 142 would only affect the classification of oil and gas leases on the Company's balance sheet and would not affect total assets, net worth or cash flows.  The Company's results of operations would not be affected, since these leasehold costs would continue to be amortized under existing accounting standards.


Note 11 – Stockholders Equity


The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Common shares with no par value, an unlimited number of Class B Common shares with no par value and an unlimited number of First Preferred shares with no par value.  No shares of Class B Common Stock or First Preferred Stock have been issued to date.


On May 28, 2003, the Company’s sole shareholder executed a resolution to split the outstanding shares of Class A common stock on the basis of 2,000 shares to 1 bringing the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class A  Common Stock to 2,000,000 shares.  All share and per share data shown reflect post-split quantities.


Note 12 – Other


The Company has entered into negotiations for  the acquisition of a producing oil and gas property in Saskatchewan, Canada, but will not finalize any acquisition until such time as the spin-off from FACT Corporation is completed . This property presently generates approximately $25,000 per year in net revenue.  If we are successful in completing the acquisition of this property, management believes that it will provide us with sufficient cash flow to meet a substantial portion of our present monthly overhead.
