MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
PURPOSE OF SOLICITATION
This Management Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of International Gemini Technology Inc. (the Corporation) for use at the annual and special meeting (the Meeting) of shareholders of the Corporation to be held at #208 828 Harbourside Drive, North Vancouver, British Columbia on June 29, 2006 at 2:00 p.m., Vancouver time, and at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice Of Meeting. Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers or regular employees of the Corporation. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101, arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the common shares (Common Shares) of the Corporation. The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.
VOTING OF PROXIES
All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the instrument of proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. In the absence of any such specifications, the management designees, if named as proxy, will vote in favour of all the matters set out herein.
The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the management designees, or other persons named as proxy, with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Management Information Circular, the Corporation is not aware of any amendments to, or variations of, or other matters which may come before the Meeting. In the event that other matters come before the Meeting, then the management designees intend to vote in accordance with the judgment of the management of the Corporation.
Proxies, to be valid, must be deposited at the office of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
A shareholder has the right to designate a person (who need not be a shareholder of the Corporation) other than Martin Schultz, Secretary and Director of the Corporation, or failing him, Douglas E. Ford, Director of the Corporation, the management designees, to attend and act for the shareholder at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the blank space provided the name of the person to be designated and deleting therefrom the names of the management designees, or by completing another proper instrument of proxy and, in either case, depositing the instrument of proxy with the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy.
A shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing, executed by the shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or signed by a duly authorized officer or attorney for the corporation:
(a) | at the offices of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or an adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or |
(b) | at the registered office of the Corporation, #208 828 Harbourside Drive, North Vancouver, BC V7P 3R9, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or an adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or |
(c) | with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. |
In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder executing another form of proxy bearing a later date and depositing same at the offices of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation within the time period set out under the heading Voting of Proxies, or by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares.
ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES
ON VOTING COMMON SHARES
The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Corporation, as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (Beneficial Shareholders) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then, in almost all cases, those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholders name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholders broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the nominee of The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as depositary for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the brokers clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.
Applicable regulatory rules require intermediaries and brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders meetings. Every intermediary and broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications Services (formerly Independent Investor Communications Corporation) (ADP). ADP typically applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to ADP. ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at a meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with an ADP sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The proxy must be returned to ADP well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted at the Meeting.
Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his or her broker (or an agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the brokers agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.
VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The only outstanding securities of the Corporation carrying voting rights are the Common Shares. The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value, of which, as at the date hereof 9,883,452 Common Shares are issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting on the basis of one (1) vote for each Common Share held.
The holders of Common Shares of record at the close of business on the record date, set by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to be May 29, 2006 (the Record Date), are entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting, except to the extent that:
(a) | such person transfers his or her Common Shares after the Record Date; and |
(b) | the transferee of those shares produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes his or her ownership to the shares and makes a demand to the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that his or her name be included on the shareholders list for the Meeting. |
The by-laws of the Corporation provide that two (2) persons present and representing, in person or by proxy, not less than ten percent (10%) of the issued shares entitled to vote constitute a quorum for meetings of shareholders of the Corporation.
To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or controls or directs ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding Common Shares.
PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
To the knowledge of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the only matters to be placed before the Meeting are those matters set forth in the Corporations accompanying Notice of Meeting relating to: (i) receipt of the audited financial statements of the Corporation for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and the Auditors Report thereto; (ii) the fixing of the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at five (5) and the election of directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders; (iii) the appointment of auditors; and (iv) to change the name of the Corporation from International Gemini Technology Inc. to Widescope Resources Inc. or to such other name as the directors of the Corporation deem fit.
Election of Directors
There are presently five (5) directors of the Corporation, each of whose term of office shall expire at the termination of the Meeting unless such director is re-elected as a director at the Meeting.
It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote for the election of said persons to the board of directors. Management does not contemplate that any of such nominees will be unable to serve as directors; however, if, for any reason any of the proposed nominees do not stand for election or are unable to serve as such, proxies in favour of management designees will be voted for another nominee in their discretion unless the shareholder has specified in his or her proxy that his or her shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors. Each director elected will hold office until the Corporations next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the by-laws of the Corporation.
The following information relating to the nominees as directors is based on information received by the Corporation from said nominees.

APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF NAME OF THE CORPORATION
The directors of the Corporation deem it in the best interest of the Corporation to change the name of the Corporation from International Gemini Technology Inc. to Widescope Resources Inc. or to such other name as the directors of the Corporation deem fit.
At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. | the Articles of the Corporation shall, pursuant to section 257 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), be altered by changing the name of the Corporation from International Gemini Technology Inc. to Widescope Resources Inc. or to such other name as the directors of the Corporation deem fit; |
2. | the directors of the Corporation be authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to file with the Registrar of Companies a Notice of Alteration; |
3. | any one director or officer of the Corporation be authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to make all such arrangements, do all acts and things and to sign and execute all documents and instruments in writing, whether under the corporate seal of the Corporation or otherwise, as may be considered necessary or advisable to give full force and effect to the foregoing; and |
4. | the board of directors of the Corporation be and are hereby authorized to revoke without further approval of the shareholders, this resolution at any time prior to the completion thereof, notwithstanding the approval by the shareholders of same, if determined in the boards sole discretion to be in the best interests of the Corporation. |
The foregoing resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders who vote on this resolution at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy.
If named as proxy, it is the intention of the management designees to vote the Common Shares represented by such proxy at the Meeting for the Change of Name, unless otherwise directed in the instrument of proxy.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
Other than the Corporations existing Stock Option Plan which was ratified at the June 28, 2005 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the Corporation does not have any compensation plans under which equity securities of the Corporation (being Common Shares) are authorized for issuance.

Under the Stock Option Plan, 988,345 Common Shares are available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan

Other Compensation

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Management functions of the Corporation are performed by the directors and executive officers of the Corporation and are not to any substantial degree performed by any other person.
INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
No current or former director, executive officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or to any other entity where the indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Other than as set forth in this Management Information Circular, the management of the Corporation is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any person who has been a director or executive officer at any time since the beginning of the Corporations last financial year or any proposed nominee for election as a director, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors. All of the directors and officers may receive options pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.
INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS
Other than as set forth below regarding the Corporations interest in Pinefalls Gold, the management of the Corporation is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, of any informed person of the Corporation or any proposed nominee as a director of the Corporation, or any associate or affiliate of any such person in any transaction since the commencement of the Corporations most recently completed financial year, or in any proposed transaction, that has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
Pinefalls Gold
The Corporation has entered into a subscription agreement with Outback Capital Inc. (dba Pinefalls Gold) a privately held Alberta corporation. The agreement calls for the Corporation to invest $200,000 into Pinefalls Gold via private placement. To date the Corporation has invested $90,000 of its commitment.
Upon receiving proceeds from its private placement Pinefalls Gold began recommended phase one exploration work on its seventeen (17) mining claims in the area of Bissett, Manitoba. The claims are included in the Rice Lake greenstone belt and cover an area of approximately 2800 hectares. The claims are the subject of a Qualifying Report dated June 30, 2004 prepared by Edward Sawitzky, P. Geo. of Arc Metals Ltd. (Arc). Arc prepared the report to standards dictated by National Instrument 43-101.
In exchange for its total investment, the Corporation will receive 4 million units of Pinefalls Gold. Each unit will consist of one (1) common share and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) common share at $0.075 for a period of two (2) years. Prior to exercising its warrants the Corporation will own approximately 37% of the then outstanding 10.7 million common shares of Pinefalls Gold. Assuming the exercise of the warrants, the Corporation will own approximately 54% of Pinefalls Gold.
Separately, the Corporation has entered into an Option Agreement with one of the principal shareholders of Pinefalls Gold (the PFG Option) which entitles the Corporation to acquire a further 3 million common shares of Pinefalls Gold in exchange for one million common shares of the Corporation. The PFG Option is exercisable at the Corporations sole discretion until it expires on March 31, 2007.
The Corporation and Pinefalls Gold have entered into these arrangements on a non-arms length basis. The two companies have certain directors and principal shareholders in common. The Corporations directors with conflicts of interest have refrained from voting on the relevant resolutions. The Corporation is relying on exemptions 5.5(3)[corporation not listed on specified markets] and 5.7(3)[fair market value not more than $2,500,000] from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of OSC Rule 61-501 regarding Related Party Transactions.
STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Board of Directors and management of the Corporation believe that effective corporate governance is important to the prudent direction and operation of the Corporation and are committed to instituting and monitoring such policies, procedures, practices and structures as are necessary to ensure effective corporate governance so as to best serve the interests of all shareholders.
The Corporations corporate governance practices and policies are subject to ongoing review and refinement, having regard to changes within the Corporation and having regard to changes in applicable laws and regulatory policies and evolving best practices.
In prior years, companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) were required to disclose their corporate governance practices as such related to the guidelines published by the TSX. However, on June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (NI 58-101) became effective, requiring all Canadian companies to disclose their corporate governance practices in compliance with NI 58-101. Disclosure of the Corporations corporate governance practices in accordance with NI 58-101 is outlined below.
Composition of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is currently composed of the following five directors: Edward Dolejsi,
Edward Ford, Martin Schultz, John Stanton and Douglas Ford; with an additional directors seat
unoccupied, all of whom will be presented for election at the Meeting.
Should all five individuals presented for election at the Meeting be elected, two of the five members of the Board (being Messrs. Douglas Ford, and John Stanton) will be independent directors for the purposes of NI 58-101. An independent director is a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a directors independent judgment with respect to the Corporation. Mr. Dolejsi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; Mr. Edward Ford, Vice President, Finance of the Corporation and Mr. Martin Schultz Secretary of the Corporation do not qualify as independent directors.
There are no special structures or processes in place to facilitate the functioning of the Board of Directors independently of the Corporations management. However, the independent directors are given full access to management so that they may express their own views and communicate their expectations of the management.
The Board does not make formal assessments of the Board, its committees and individual directors, however, the Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees
The Board believes that given Mr. Schultzs detailed knowledge of the Corporations operations and his many years of experience in the finance industry, he is the most appropriate individual to set the agenda for meetings of the Board, to ensure that adequate information is provided to the Board and to chair the meetings. Individual directors are also able to submit particular matters for inclusion on the agenda at the Board meetings.
Mandate of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for the stewardship of the Corporation through consultation
with the management of the Corporation. Any responsibility which is not delegated to management or
to a committee of the Board remains with the Board. Frequency of Board meetings as well as the
nature of agenda items change depending on the state of the Corporations affairs and in light of
opportunities or risks which the Corporation faces. Board members are in frequent contact with one
another and Board meetings were held as deemed necessary during 2005.
The Board of Directors met two times during 2005. Each director attended all meetings.
Directorships
Certain directors or nominee director of the Corporation are also members of the boards of
directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) as set out below:

Orientation and Continuing Education
The Corporation has not adopted a formal orientation and education program for new directors. The
Board believes that adoption of a formal program is not presently warranted given the size of the
Corporation and the low turnover in Board membership. However, all new directors are provided with
background information on the Corporation, including an overview of its operations and are provided
with the opportunity to meet with management of the Corporation and with other members of the Board
to discuss the Corporations affairs.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Corporation has not adopted a formal Code of Conduct for its directors, officers and employees,
however, the Corporation strives to promote honest and ethical conduct, the avoidance of conflicts
of interest, full, fair, accurate and timely public disclosure and compliance with applicable laws.
In the case of non-arms length transactions or other circumstances where a member or members of
the Board may have or appear to have a conflict of interest with the Corporation, prudent corporate
practice dictates that the interested member(s) refrain from voting on the issue and if necessary,
a committee of independent directors may be struck to review and make recommendations with respect
to the proposed transaction.
Nomination of Directors
The Board has not appointed a committee of directors to be responsible for proposing to the Board
new nominees for directors of the Corporation. The Board does not consider that a nominating
committee is currently necessary given the stage of development of the Corporation, the low
turnover of the Board membership and that two out of five directors of the Corporation are
independent. When new directors are being considered for addition to the Board, the entire Board
acts as an ad hoc nominating committee. All members of the Board are canvassed for suggestions on
possible candidates and the appropriate skill sets required. Nominees are reviewed and must be
approved by the Board as a whole.
Compensation
The Board has not appointed a committee of directors to be responsible for determining the
compensation for the Corporations directors and officers. The Board does not consider that a
compensation committee is currently necessary given the stage of development of the Corporation,
the low turnover of the Board membership and that two out of five directors of the Corporation are
independent. Compensation of the directors and officers is based upon industry standards and the
Corporations present stage of development.
When new directors or officers are being considered for addition to the Board or management, the entire Board acts as an ad hoc nominating committee. All members of the Board are canvassed for suggestions on possible candidates and the appropriate skill sets required. Nominees are reviewed and must be approved by the Board as a whole.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Currently, the only committee of the Board of Directors is the Audit Committee.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Shareholders of International Gemini Technology, Inc.
We have audited the balance sheets of International Gemini Technology, Inc. as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the statements of operations and deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
The audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated February 10, 2004.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA
- UNITED STATES REPORTING DIFFERENCES
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated April 12, 2006 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
The sole activity of International Gemini Technology Inc. (the Company) is its search for a suitable acquisition or acquisitions that can be made and financed at prices and terms that make business sense. The Companys continued operations are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition of, a participation in or an investment of an interest in a transaction.
The Company has incurred substantial losses to date and additional losses are anticipated in future business acquisition and development. These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which implies that the Company will continue to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to operate as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is subject to obtaining financing, acquiring or establishing business operations and ultimately on achieving profitable operations. (Note 4)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in Canada, which, except as described in Note 9, conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant to the Company.
(a) Stock-based compensation
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3870 Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments. These recommendations establish standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments in exchange for goods and services. The standard requires that all new or altered stock-based awards provided to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized using a fair value based method. Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any consideration paid by the option holder on the exercise of the options is credited to share capital.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(c) Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and their corresponding tax values using the enacted income tax rates at each balance sheet date. Future income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other deductions. The valuation of future income tax assets is reviewed annually and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) | Loss per share |
The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. Loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted loss per share figures are equal to those of basic loss per share for each year since the effects of the convertible preferred shares have been excluded as they are anti-dilutive.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue will be recognized when the requirements as to performance for transactions involving services are met, the amounts involved are determinable and ultimate collection is reasonably assured at the time of performance.
(f) Impairment of long-lived assets
On January 1, 2004, the Company early adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3063 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets recommendations. These recommendations provide accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of impairment of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with infinite useful lives. They require the recognition of an impairment loss for a long-lived asset when events or changes in circumstances causes its carrying value to exceed the total undiscounted future cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is calculated by deducting the fair value of the asset from its carrying value. This policy has been adopted prospectively and has had no effect on these financial statements. |
(g) | Investments |
Long-term investments are carried at cost. If it is determined that the value of the investment is permanently impaired, it is written down to its estimated net realizable value.
The Company accounts for its investment in PFG using the cost basis as it does not have significant influence on its investment.
(h) | Comparative figures |
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current year.
3. Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments due to the short term to maturity. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

4. Investments
a) PFG Investment
The Company entered into a subscription agreement to invest $200,000 into Outback Capital Inc. dba Pinefalls Gold (PFG) a private Alberta company with certain directors and principal shareholders in common with the Company. PFG is an exploration company with mining claims located in the area of Bissett, Manitoba. The Company will invest $200,000 in exchange for 4 million units at $0.05 per unit with each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant to purchase an additional common share at $0.075 for a period of two years. Prior to exercising the warrants, the Company will own approximately 37% of the common shares of PFG. As at December 31, 2005, the Company had invested $90,000 in exchange for 1.8 million units under this subscription agreement, approximately 17% of the outstanding common shares of PFG. The Company expects to advance the balance of the funds prior to the end of the second quarter of 2006.
In addition, the Company entered into an option agreement with one of the principal shareholders of PFG, a director of the Company, which entitles the Company to acquire a further 3 million common shares of PFG in exchange for one million common shares of the Company. The option is exercisable at the Companys discretion and it expired on March 31, 2006. The parties subsequently agreed to extend the agreement until March 31, 2007.
Upon completely funding the subscription agreement and in the event that the Company exercises both the warrants and the option, the Company would own approximately 65% of the common shares of PFG.
To fund its commitment to the PFG investment, the Company has arranged a non-brokered private placement to provide working capital to the Company. The Company will issue up to 2 million units at $0.15 per unit with each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share for a period of 24 months at $0.18 per share. To date, the Company has issued 1,560,333 units and raised $234,050 in connection with this financing.
b) BWN Investment
During the year ended December 31, 2004, an investment was recorded at cost and represented a 3% interest in a private company, B.W.N. Oil Technologies Inc. (BWN).
The BWN investment was sold during 2004 to a company with a common director for $30,000 resulting in a loss of $16,024. Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 is the sale amount of $30,000 which was received in fiscal 2005.
5. Related Party Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2005, a company in which a director has an interest charged the Company $24,000 (2004: $38,000; 2003: $36,000) for rent and management fees. The unpaid portion of these amounts, plus additional advances and other amounts due to directors, aggregating $34,810 (2004: $55,395) is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2005.
A company in which a director has an interest was charged $nil (2004: $20,000; 2003: $3,000) for consulting fees during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Related party transactions were in the normal course of business and have been recorded at the exchange amount. Amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and without specific terms of repayment.

9. Reconciliation between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). There were no reported differences for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 which would require reconciliation from Canadian GAAP to US GAAP. However, a description of accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States (US GAAP) and practices prescribed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that ordinarily result in material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP are as follows:
(a) Stock-based compensation
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the US issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The statement encourages entities to adopt a fair value methodology of accounting for employee stock-based compensation.
As permitted by the statement, the Company has continued measuring compensation costs using the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation issued to employees as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the date of the granting of options to employees and directors to purchase stock over the amount an optionee must pay to acquire the stock at that date. This excess is recognized by a charge to operations over the vesting period. As the exercise price of options granted by the Company to employees and directors approximates, or is greater than, the market value at the grant date, the Company has determined no compensation cost is required to be recorded for US GAAP purposes, relating to employee stock-based compensation awards.
However, commencing January 1, 2004 under Canadian GAAP, the Company records employees stock compensation using the fair value method, accordingly for 2004 an adjustment is required to reconcile to US GAAP.
Under SFAS No. 123, stock options granted to non-employees for services rendered to the Company are required to be accounted for as compensation cost and charged to operations as the services are performed and the options are earned. The compensation cost is to be measured based on the fair value of the stock options granted. This method is similar to the Canadian GAAP adopted as of January 1, 2002. The stock-based compensation expense in respect of stock options granted to non-employees, under US GAAP, based upon the fair value of the options granted, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, would be $nil cumulatively from the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123 to December 31, 2001.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123® (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123® will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123® covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123® replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Public entities will be required to apply SFAS No. 123® as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 or December 15, 2005 for small business issuers.
The Company anticipates that upon adoption of SFAS No.123® there will be no material difference between stock compensation as determined under US GAAP versus that determined under Canadian GAAP.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
9. | Reconciliation between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (continued) |
(b) Earnings per share
With respect to contingently issuable shares held in escrow, US GAAP requires that contingently issuable shares only be included in the calculation of earnings per share when eligible for release from escrow. Consequently, contingently issuable escrow shares would not have been included in weighted average common shares outstanding and therefore would not have been included in the calculation of loss per share for the year.
(c) Income taxes
Under US GAAP, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Under Canadian GAAP, the effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period of substantive enactment. The application of this difference under US GAAP does not result in a material difference between future income taxes as recorded under Canadian GAAP.
(d) Reporting comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income equals net income (loss) for the year as adjusted for all other non-owner changes in shareholders equity. SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, comprehensive loss equals the net loss.
(e) Development stage company
Pursuant to US GAAP, the Company would be considered a development stage company as the Company is devoting its efforts to establishing commercially viable mineral properties. However, the identification of the Company as such for accounting purposes does not impact the measurement principles applied to these financial statements.
(f) Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Companys reported financial position or results of operations
In March 2005, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, to give guidance on the implementation of SFAS No. 123R. The Company will consider SAB No. 107 during the implementation of SFAS No. 123R.

9 | Reconciliation between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (continued) |
(f) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 154, a voluntary change in accounting principle requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. A change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. The guidance contained in APB No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate was not changed. The Company will implement this new standard beginning January 1, 2006. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys future reported financial position or results of operations.
In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS115-1/124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and APB Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. This FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this FSP will have a material impact on the Companys future reported financial position or results of operations
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys future reported financial position or results of operations.

THE ATTACHED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FORM AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND ARE HEREBY INCLUDED BY REFERENCE
Management Discussion and Analysis as of April 25, 2006
Effective April 21, 2005 the Company announced that it had agreed to make an investment in a private company which holds gold prospective mineral claims in central Manitoba, Canada. To date the Company has advanced part of the proceeds of this investment and now owns a percentage of Outback Capital Inc. (dba Pinefalls Gold} which is conducting early-stage exploration on its properties. The investment has been funded from proceeds realized in a June 2005 private placement.
Trend Analysis
The business of the Company entails significant risks. Any analysis of the trend of the companys activities would reveal this. And there is nothing to suggest that these trends will change.
The Companys sole activity is its search for a suitable acquisition or acquisitions that can be made and financed at prices and terms that make business sense. Recently this has focused on the resource sector. Resource prices are at medium to long-term highs, a condition that increases potential acquisition costs, and increases the corresponding risk. The same factors have reduced the supply of high quality opportunities.
World economic conditions, including the trade and budget deficits in the United States, have made the case for precious metals a compelling one. This, combined with the availability of capital for precious metals projects has expanded the acquisition search to include precious metals exploration and development opportunities.
A different set of circumstances has driven oil and gas prices to record prices. The greater industrialization of China and India, combined with the emergence of a significant affluent middle class in both countries combine with other factors to increase world demand for petroleum products. This increased demand appears to be permanent, although the price level also combines real or perceived worldwide product shortages, or supply dislocations. Any significant increase in supply will tend to moderate prices.
The Company has regularly been behind major trends and as a result missed them.

Overview
The Companys sole focus is on finding and completing a suitable acquisition, or suitable acquisitions. This activity is largely carried out by the directors and large shareholders at their expense. The Companys management team, affiliates and directors have special expertise in the areas of due diligence, financial analysis and corporate finance strategy with respect to emerging growth enterprises. Additionally, the Company retains Dockside Capital Group to provide certain management functions and in so doing can also access its similar expertise. From time-to-time the Company is approached, through referral, to provide these services on a consulting basis. Thus the Company generates revenue by providing these services. As these sources of revenue are not core to the Companys focus, the services are not actively marketed.
Results of Operations
The Company has shown modest losses for the past several years. These losses result largely from having little or no revenue and minimal operating expenses, rather than having unusual expenses. In 2004 the Company elected to sell its passive investment, and this resulted in a loss that was somewhat greater than usual. The expenses of the Company are almost completely related to satisfying regulatory requirements, including the annual meeting, financial reporting, communications with shareholders; and seeking and evaluating acquisition prospects for suitability and ability to attract financing.
Fluctuations in Results
The Companys annual operating results fluctuate, but very little. Revenues to date have been solely derived from consulting activities which are not core to the Companys focus and may fluctuate greatly based upon the Companys receipt of infrequent, third-party referrals for these services. Expenses fluctuate on the basis of postal rate increases, or reductions in courier or long distance phone rates. Since our daily operations are almost completely related to satisfying regulatory requirements, including the annual meeting, financial reporting, communications with shareholders; and seeking and evaluating acquisition prospects for suitability and ability to attract financing our expenses are dependent on prevailing market rates for communications services and mailing rates. Similarly, our expenses will continue to increase due to the upward pressure on professional fees charged to reporting companies for compliance related services such as legal and audit work as a result of changes to securities legislation throughout North America.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the Company is organized in Canada, the Companys December 31, 2005 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. However, Note 9 to the financial statements reconciles any differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principals.
As at December 31, 2005, the Company had accumulated losses totaling $13,376,458. The Company had working capital of $86,219 as at December 31, 2005. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support of shareholders, its ability to raise capital through the issuance of its securities, as well as obtaining long-term financing when the company concludes an appropriate merger or acquisition agreement.
As noted, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might arise from uncertainty. However, had the audit been conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards the auditors would have reflected these concerns in their report and would have included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising concern about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2005 the Company had cash and equivalents of $128,126 and working capital of $86,219.
