 PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


(a)

Business Development


FACT Corporation predominantly operates  in the functional food industry through its wholly owned subsidiary, Food and Culinary Technology Group Inc., (“FACT Group”) developing, licensing and supplying turnkey functional premixes to customers who manufacture, distribute, and market bakery and pasta products to consumers through a variety of conventional and alternative channels including retail, food service and specialty markets.  The Company also operates in the food industry through FACT Products Inc., (“FACT Products”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT Group, supplying a line of shelf stable non-dairy whipped toppings.  The Company also sells a line of home-use retail baking mixes under its Nutrition First™ brand for cookies, brownies and other products via its online internet store at www.eatwellstaywell.net.


FACT Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 3, 1982 and is referred to herein as either "FACT", "the Company", "we", "us" or "our".  In mid 2001, the Company determined advancement of its oil and gas investments and other investments in marketable securities had not progressed as expected, and the Board of Directors determined to locate a new project of merit in a rapid growth industry with the goal of achieving positive cash flow within 36 months.  The plan called for the divestiture of the Company’s interests in any unrelated projects as quickly as was determined to be practicable.  During fiscal year 2001, as a result of this mandate, the Company completed a share exchange agreement with a private Nevada corporation in the functional foods business, FACT Group, whereby FACT Group became the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company determined that if successful, the functional food business and other food products would develop into its sole operating business.  On August 11, 2003, FACT Products acquired the rights to a shelf stable non-dairy whipped topping which it markets under the brand name “Aunt Lydia’s Italian Cremes”.


As of the date of this filing, the Company has three (3) wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wall Street Investment Corp. ("WSIC"), Wall Street Real Estate Ltd., (“Wall Street”), and FACT Group. WSIC currently has no business operations and will be dissolved or divested during the current fiscal year. Wall Street Real Estate Ltd. was incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada on July 23, 2002 for the purpose of holding commercial real estate assets and is intended to be divested during the current fiscal year.  FACT Group was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 14, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring an interest in certain proprietary functional food formulations, and was acquired by the Company on November 7, 2001. FACT Group has a wholly owned subsidiary, FACT Products Inc., which was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 5, 2001 as FACT Bread Company, Inc.  


By the end of fiscal 2002, initial sales had commenced in FACT Group, and the Company determined there was enough merit to commence the divestiture of certain of the Company’s non-core assets.  As a result the Company decided to spin-off its then operational oil and gas subsidiary, Capital Canada, to its shareholders, subject to the filing and approval of a 20-F registration statement with the SEC, which was first filed by Capital Canada on July 11, 2003. Capital Canada filed Amendment #4 to the 20-F on March 16, 2004 and the spin-off took effect during the fourth quarter of 2004.  Additionally, the Board of Directors resolved to divest its interests in all commercial real estate holdings as market conditions permitted during fiscal 2004.   The Company was unable to complete the intended divestiture plans during 2004 and is targeting the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to have divested all of its other investments and subsidiaries except for FACT Group and its wholly owned subsidiary, FACT Products which will operate exclusively in the food business.  


As the Company is a U.S. corporation, all dollar amounts used herein refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

 (b) Business of Issuer


Current Operations


The Company is presently engaged in a range of business operations indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries and directly through the Company.  These operations include:  operations in the food industry consisting of   the sale of premixes and other food products to commercial customers and directly to the consumer; commercial real estate operations for the generation of rental income; and passive investments in public and private corporations for the purpose of capital appreciation. The Company's business is primarily focused on its operations in the functional foods industry. As stated in “Business Development” above, the Company is presently accessing opportunities for the divestiture of its other assets and investments. During the final quarter of fiscal 2004, to further its divestiture plans the



3


Company accepted an Offer to Purchase on one of its two commercial real estate properties.  The transaction is scheduled to close in April 2005. A discussion of each segment of the Company's current business operations is provided below.


 Functional Food Business


Through a share exchange agreement between the Company and the shareholders of FACT Group, completed in November 2001, the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 shares of its Class C common stock in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of FACT Group, a company operating in the functional food business.  The acquisition included certain proprietary formulas for functional dough and batter based products.   The acquisition of FACT Group required that the formulations be held in escrow contingent upon the Company providing capitalization to FACT Group in the amount of $3 million and the payment of $2 million in royalties to certain of the shareholders of FACT Group. In May, 2003, those certain shareholders of FACT Group filed litigation against FACT Group and the Company to terminate the share exchange agreement.  On August 14, 2003, the Company and FACT Group reached a settlement with the Plaintiffs.  As a result of this settlement, the formulas to the premixes and other intellectual property have been released to the Company. The requirement for funding of $3million is no longer included in the agreement and the plaintiffs returned all of their Class A common shares and their Class C common shares to the Company.  Certain amounts due to the Plaintiffs for services rendered were forgiven.   The purchase price for the intellectual property remains at $2 million, to be paid in the form of royalties based on pounds of product sold by FACT Group.   FACT Group is obligated to pay the following minimum annual royalty payments:


 

2005 – $  45,500

2006 – $  59,150

2007 – $  76,895

2008 – $  99,963

2009 – $129,953

2010 – $168,938

2011 – $219,620

2012 – $285,506

2013 - all remaining royalties become due and payable as one balloon payment.  


FACT Group will also pay a maximum of $233,333 in additional income to two of the plaintiffs calculated on a monthly basis from September 1, 2003 through December 31, 2006 and payable from November 1, 2003 to February 28, 2007.  Should the plaintiffs receive royalty payments of $150,000 or more in any one year then FACT Group shall have no responsibility to pay further additional income in that year to the two plaintiffs. During 2004 the Company paid the plaintiffs royalties totaling $51,532.  As additional terms of the settlement, the plaintiffs are prohibited from competing with FACT Group for 5 years, must keep all trade secrets confidential and were required to provide training for FACT Group's new technical support personnel.   


FACT Group holds the rights to certain formulations for the production of dough and batter based functional food products ranging from breads, bagels, pastas, and pizza shells, to sweet baked goods, snack bars and confectionery, as well as other foods derived from a dough, batter or mix. Commercial sales of premix commenced in November 2002. Presently, FACT Group sells its Nutrition First™ premixes and products to manufacturers, distributors and food service clients, who incorporate the premix into finished products to market and sell to the end consumer under their own retail brand/label, paying FACT Group a fee for each pound of premix purchased. FACT Group’s premixes enable customers to make claims on their end products pertaining to a variety of market positions including, reduced digestible carbohydrates, increased fiber, weight management benefits, and other tangible benefits.  FACT Group has also entered into a licensing agreement with a North American bakery ingredient distributor that sells products containing FACT Group’s premixes under its own brand name.  FACT Group receives a royalty for each pound of premix sold by such distributor. FACT Group is currently in negotiations with a number of potential new customers for the supply of functional premixes across various other product channels including snack bars, donuts, brownies, and at-home mixes for bread, muffins, cookies, cakes, brownies, pancakes, waffles and scones.   FACT Group is also pursuing other methods to increase sales and distribution of its line of premixes and finished products.  In January 2005 FACT Group launched an online store at www.eatwellstaywell.net where the consumer can directly purchase home-use versions of some of the more popular commercial bake mixes, including brownies, cookies, an all-purpose bake mix and other products.  This line of retail size mixes is also marketed under the Company’s Nutrition First™ brand.  FACT Group also developed a line of snack bars in 2004 which are market-ready and are intended to be sold through various channels during 2005, including the Company’s new internet store.  FACT Group is currently pursuing additional premix licensing agreements with large suppliers to the bakery industry. FACT Group has secured arrangements with two independent blending



4


facilities in the State of New York for the preparation of premix for use in end consumer products.  Fiscal 2005 plans also include expanding the Company’s commercial premix distribution base, seeking alternate channels to introduce the Company’s product lines, an advertising and marketing campaign to secure sales for the new on-line store and potential merger and acquisition opportunities with complimentary organizations operating in the functional foods segment.


Functional foods can be described as foods designed to deliver specific health benefits to the consumer, and whose inherent health benefits go beyond basic nutrition, including the prevention of disease and the promotion of wellness through nutrition. FACT Group’s vision is to be a competitive supplier of nutrition solutions to commercial customers so they can create food products with added health benefits, positioned as healthy alternative foods to serve as part of the North American consumer's everyday diet. FACT Group intends to become a leader in product development and a key ingredient/premix supplier to the functional foods industry. Primary areas of focus are consumers with the following concerns: diabetes, carbohydrate control, glucose management, weight management, heart disease and digestive health.  


FACT Group formulations are not patented, but are trade secrets, as is common in the food industry, and will remain proprietary by way of stringent non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements executed with the blending facilities. Customers also execute confidentiality agreements and are serviced under premix supply agreements which do not allow access to FACT Group’s premix formulations in their entirety.   FACT Group does not require any governmental approval for its existing line of products, and is currently in the process of trade marking its master brand “Nutrition First™”.


Sales of FACT Group’s premixes in fiscal 2003 accounted for 66% of the Company’s total revenues, which met the Company’s intended goal to have operations of this subsidiary become the Company’s primary source of income.  Sales from the premixes and other complimentary products in 2004 accounted for 85% of the Company’s total revenues.  While the Company’s operating food subsidiaries were profitable for the first time in 2004, the Company continues to consider its investment in FACT Group an investment in a developing business.  FACT Group’s ability to continue to execute its business plan and achieve profitable operations will be impacted by numerous factors including the following:  maintenance of existing customers and acquisition of new customers through supply and licensing agreements; acceptance of our customers’ end products by the retail consumer; acceptance of the Company’s branded products by the retail consumer; access to sufficient amounts of key ingredients for uninterrupted supply of our premixes to customers; protection of our proprietary formulations and continuing development of new commercial formulations; the onset of competitive products in the retail marketplace and ongoing financing to meet operational overhead until such time as FACT Group can consistently achieve sufficient sales to meet ongoing expenses and growth initiatives.


Competitive Business Conditions and our competitive position in the industry


FACT Group is presently operating in an emerging growth industry which has recently experienced a rush of new competitors to the marketplace.  During 2004 and early 2005, the competitive landscape was further impacted with the failure of several of these emerging enterprises which, having entered the marketplace quickly, over-saturated the market with numerous line extensions and new product offerings, only to suffer poor consumer acceptance levels, resulting in diminished sales and ultimately, product failure.   This phenomenon also extended to several larger, well established food companies that, in an effort to secure profitable segments of the market with rapid product introductions, experienced poor consumer take-off at the retail grocery level, resulting in a withdrawal of newly launched items.  Additionally, various larger and smaller food companies with sales dependent on traditional bakery goods were adversely impacted by the quick introduction and rapid expansion of functional bakery products, in particular the “low carb” segment of this functional market, resulting in more commercial product failures, dramatic sales declines and overall instability in the bakery segment of the food industry.   The Company believes this market has now progressed to a more stable operating environment, and that our unique collection of product offerings will have enhanced sales potential now that the market has settled and consumer demands and preferences have been assessed.


While direct competitors with FACT Group are limited, we consider bakery ingredient suppliers offering high fiber, low glycemic or reduced digestible carbohydrate bakery premixes which can be incorporated into end-products and are marketed to manufacturers, food service and quick serve restaurants direct competitors.  Now that FACT Group is also offering its own line of home-use baking mixes, competition will also exist from other branded and private label bakery mixes targeting the weight loss, glucose management and fiber enhancement segments of the market.


However, the segment of the functional foods industry in which we are operating, breads, grains and baked goods,



5


accounts for approximately 40% of total sales in our segment of the food industry, allowing room for a vast competitive landscape.  FACT Group has ample opportunity to secure a profitable segment of the market share.  Presently we estimate there are between 10 and 15 organizations providing the industry products which may be considered similar to those marketed by FACT Group.  Many of these companies are much larger and better financed than FACT Group.


Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers


FACT Group relies on the supply of several key ingredients from large food grade ingredient manufacturers, such as ADM and Sensus America, in order to supply our customers with our line of premixes and products.  While FACT Group has entered into supply agreements with certain of these suppliers, we do not have volume agreements in place with respect to all of our key ingredients. Should there be a shortage of raw ingredients, FACT Group may not be able to adequately service its existing or future customers.  FACT Group is constantly evaluating our formulations to ensure we have alternatives to these key ingredients in order to avoid any unexpected ingredient supply issues.


Dependence on one or a few major customers


FACT Group’s revenues for fiscal 2003, 2004 and to the date of this report rely heavily on sales made to a single customer.  Western Bagel Baking Corporation of Van Nuys, California accounted for approximately 85% of FACT Group’s premix sales to the end of fiscal 2003, and 70% of premix sales to the end of fiscal 2004.  As at the date of this report, FACT Group is actively working to successfully close additional client accounts that should assist in better diversifying our revenue base.  It is anticipated that until such time as FACT Group establishes its products in the marketplace, it will remain reliant on a small number of key customers to drive sales.


A mount of time spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development activities and if applicable the extent to which the cost of such activities are borne by customers


During the past two fiscal years, FACT Group has reduced the time and resources from that previously spent commercializing its premixes for commercial sales.  These efforts were predominantly expended during fiscal 2002 and during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, with product sales being the focus for the balance of fiscal 2003 and 2004, once a complete commercial product line had been established.  While there were new product additions in fiscal 2004, much of this work was completed in collaboration with one of FACT Group’s key distributors in order to keep expenditures to a minimum and also to draw from the experience of an extremely diverse product development team.  Amounts expended by FACT Group in pursuit of such activities are borne exclusively by FACT Group.


Distribution Methods


FACT distributes its products directly to customers from its contracted warehouse space on the East and West coasts.  FACT’s line of premixes is also distributed to clients through a licensing agreement under which a large North American bakery ingredient manufacturer has licensed FACT Group’s formulations to blend and sell under their own brand.  Commencing in early 2005, FACT also distributes product directly to the consumer from its Freehold, NJ facility where online orders from the www.eatwellstaywell.net internet store are processed, packaged and shipped.


Need for Government approval of principal products


FACT Group uses only those raw ingredients which have already received government approval for use in food products. All our premixes contain GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) ingredients which have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as required.  


Other Food Products


During fiscal 2003, FACT Group’s wholly owned subsidiary, FACT Products acquired the exclusive world-wide license to a line of imported, shelf stable, non-dairy whipped toppings which it markets under the brand name “Aunt Lydia’s Italian Cremes”.  


The toppings are available in four flavors including, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and mocha.   The toppings are lower in fat, have no cholesterol and do not require refrigeration.   The products are manufactured in Italy and exported to North America.  



6



Distribution Methods


FACT Products presently distributes the “Aunt Lydia’s Italian Cremes” through conventional channels including retail supermarkets, direct to the consumer from orders derived from our online store and limited sales direct to restaurants and other smaller retail outlets.  FACT Products is presently looking to introduce the crèmes to a wider range of distribution channels including the addition of further retail supermarket chains, multi-packs for club stores, quick serve restaurant chains and international venues.


Competitive Business Conditions and our competitive position in the industry


The Company is aware of several other whipped topping products that are sold under brand names, such as Reddi Whip and also under private labels in major supermarket chains.  To the knowledge of the Company, all of these products require refrigeration to stay fresh.  Aunt Lydia’s Italian Cremes are shelf stable, non dairy toppings which should provide some form of competitive advantage in the marketplace for both our anticipated customers and the end consumer as they do not require refrigeration.  The Company is also unaware of any other imported whipped toppings or any toppings available in mocha flavor, which should provide some additional competitive advantage.  However, retail supermarkets, club stores and other targeted channels for the sales of the Aunt Lydia’s whipped topping are extremely competitive environments where larger, better financed companies with established brand names in the whipped cream or whipped topping segment can be expected to continue to dominate market share.


 Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers


The whipped topping products are manufactured under contract by a supplier in Italy and are imported into the United States.  The Company is unable to comment at this time on the availability of raw materials due to the early stages of business growth.  To date the Company has not experienced any issues in obtaining product in a timely manner to meet purchase orders.


Dependence on one or a few major customers


As at the date of this report the Company is relying on sales from one North-east supermarket chain, Acme Supermarkets. While the product was also introduced to Publix Supermarkets in mid 2004, sales of the product at the participating locations were not considered satisfactory to Publix in order for them to continue to offer the product.  In January 2005 Publix advised the Company they were discontinuing the Italian Cremes from their grocery sales.  Sales of the product at Acme Supermarkets have been consistent and Acme continues to reorder product.  The Company will require additional operational experience with the product before we can determine the potential for these whipped toppings.  Presently we are negotiating with several club stores, a quick-serve chain, and various international supermarket opportunities.

                                                                                                                                                                                       Amount of time spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development activities and if applicable the extent to which the cost of such activities are borne by customers


The Company has not spent any time on research and development of the Aunt Lydia’s products, though during 2004 time was allocated to new packaging formats such as 36 unit shippers and 3 unit multi-packs to expand the product formats available to retail supermarkets and club stores.


Real Estate


The Company owns two commercial buildings in the City of Calgary, Alberta, which are presently generating rental income.  As of December 2004, the Company accepted an Offer to Purchase one of the two commercial buildings for a purchase price of $2.55 million (Cdn)dollars.  The sale is expected to conclude in April 2005.


The first commercial building, held directly by the Company, offers approximately 22,145 square feet of office space and laboratory space.  As at December 31, 2004, the Company had leased out 18,543 of the total available square footage in this building.  As at the date of this report, the Company has accepted an offer to purchase the property from Calgary, Canada-based Calfrac Well Services Ltd., for total proceeds of $2.55 million (Cdn) dollars.  The Company currently holds a non-refundable deposit of $200,000 (Cdn) which will be applied towards the purchase price on closing. At December 31, 2004 this facility had a total of 3 primary tenants (one of which is Capital Canada, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which sublets all of its available lease area to two additional tenants).  Each of the



7


primary tenants is signed to long-term lease agreements expiring in 2005 or 2007.  The two subtenants have subleases with Capital Canada, one of which expires on October 2005 and the other is a month-to-month sublease.  As at the date of this report, the Company has four further leases.  This leaves the Company with approximately 3,602 square feet of vacant space.  The additional leases are short and mid-term leases ranging from month to month for 200 sq ft, a one year term (expiring February 2005) for 805 sq ft and two leases with two year terms for 453 sq ft and 1,107 sq ft respectively.  With the pending sale of the property, the Company will not pursue tenanting the space that is currently vacant.   


The second commercial building, held by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Wall Street Real Estate Ltd., serves as one of the Company’s two corporate offices, as well as an additional source of rental income. The building has approximately 7,680 square feet of office space divided equally into two condominium units. The Company occupies a total of 768 square feet and has leased out all of the remaining available space to two tenants. Both leases carry five-year terms, and expire in 2006 and 2007. One of the leases also includes an option to purchase 3,840 square feet of space expiring January 2007.


The Company also holds title to a single family residence located in a lakeside community in Calgary, Alberta which was purchased by the Company for use by its then-President, Mr. W. Scott Lawler, as an enticement for him to relocate to Calgary, Alberta. This home is approximately 6,300 square feet on 1/3 of an acre. Mr. Lawler occupies the property and makes all payments related to the property's mortgage, including insurance and property taxes. Mr. Lawler has an option to acquire this property from the Company, and has indicated his intent to exercise this option to purchase in the first half of 2005.  The Company has commenced the necessary paperwork to affect the transfer of this property to Mr. Lawler as of April 2005.


The Company has invested over $2.8 million in its commercial and residential real estate. The realizable value of this real estate is dependent on a fluctuating real estate market in the City of Calgary, Alberta. In addition, while the rental market for commercial real estate in Calgary, Alberta is presently favorable, the market is subject to fluctuations in these conditions and the Company may not be able to fully lease its income generating properties. The ability of the Company to lease these properties at full capacity is impacted by various market conditions, including a necessity for our lease rates to remain competitive in the surrounding market areas. In addition the Company's ability to continue to collect a majority of the payments owed under its current lease agreements could become contingent upon the success of the major tenants occupying each property.  Currently, a portion of the Company's revenue stream is generated through lease payments from three developing businesses that may not realize revenues or continue to realize revenues in the normal course of business. In the event these companies default under their lease obligations, and the Company can not find suitable replacement tenants, or divest the properties, the Company's financial position could be adversely impacted.


The Company has entered into property management agreements with respect to the operations of both its commercial properties.  The Company intended to look for favorable divestiture opportunities for all its real estate holdings in fiscal 2003; however it was unable to finalize any transactions during that period.  During fiscal 2004 the Company has entered into one agreement for the sale of one of the two commercial properties, and expects to be able to divest/transfer the balance of its real estate holdings prior to the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2005.


Oil and Gas Properties


As at the close of the 2004 fiscal year, the Company no longer owned an active interest in oil and gas properties.  Concurrent with the spin-off of Capital Reserve Canada Limited (“Capital Canada”), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the operating subsidiary holding interests in oil and gas operations, the Company ceased to have any ongoing interest in oil and gas operations.

 

The distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Canada, to the existing shareholders of the Company on the basis of one (1) share of Capital Canada for every five (5) shares of the Company was completed during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004. . As at December 31, 2004, Capital Canada is in debt to the Company in the amount of $650,559, the repayment of which amount has been impaired by $325,000, and recorded as account receivable on the balance sheet of the Company, repayment of which is currently under negotiated by the Boards of the Company and Capital Canada.  


Investments in Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities


The Company has made equity investments in a public reporting Alberta corporation and its private subsidiary. The Company originally made these investments with the intent of becoming more actively involved in the oil and gas industry, specifically through the commercialization of a proprietary and patented heavy oil upgrading technology under


8


development by these companies. These companies divested their interest in this heavy oil upgrading technology in December 2001 (transaction closed March 2002) and are currently reviewing new business opportunities. The Company is presently in negotiations for the divestiture of its interest in the private subsidiary and expects to conclude terms on this sale by the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2005. At year end this interest remains on the books of the Company with a net realizable value of $55,753. The Company’s interest in the public reporting corporation is on the books of the Company with a market value of $16,397 as at December 31, 2004.  Subsequent to the year ended the Company successfully divested this interest for cash consideration.


 Through the sale of certain oil and gas development leases in fiscal 2002 the Company also acquired an interest in a further public reporting corporation.  The Company divested itself of these securities on June 10, 2003.

 

The Company acquired an interest in shares in a second reporting corporation during 2003 by way of settlement of a claim in bankruptcy relating to a lease for space in one of the Company’s rental properties.  These securities remain on the books of the Company with a market value of $7,265.


Investments in developing companies are highly speculative and the Company's ability to recover its investment will be impacted by numerous factors including the marketability and liquidity of the common shares of the companies, the companies' abilities to continue to operate their businesses and factors affecting the business environment in which the companies' operate.  Presently the Company has no plans to make further investments of this nature.


Employees


As of April 12, 2005, the Company and its subsidiaries had 2 full-time contract employees and 4 part-time contract employees providing various administrative and support services through consulting companies. The tasks and duties undertaken by employees include corporate management, legal counseling, administration, accounting, sales and marketing, and product development. The Company contracts with certain other consultants to provide product development services, sales support, marketing and advertising support, investor relations activities and property management as is required.


ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES


Real Estate Investments


The Company currently has investments in commercial and residential real property located in the City of Calgary, Alberta. Its policy regarding real estate investments has been to invest in commercial properties that it believes will generate positive monthly net income. There are presently no limitations on the number of mortgages that may be placed on any property owned by the Company.  The Company has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with respect to one of its two commercial properties and intends to divest its remaining commercial real estate holdings prior to the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2005.  The Company does not anticipate any new acquisitions of real estate. All operations of the Company’s commercial real estate assets are handled through property management companies.


Commercial Property #1- 335-25th St. S.E. Calgary, Alberta (Sale pending)


This property is a single story building on 1.68 acres and is comprised of 14,960 square feet of office space and 7,185 square feet of laboratory space. The property was acquired in August 2000 at a cost of $1,719,257 (CDN $2,225,000).  Lease hold improvements totaling $102,331 (CDN$123,247) have been completed since the acquisition of the property. The book value as of December 31, 2004, net of depreciation totaling $226,883 (CDN $273,258) is $1,722,843 (CDN$2,074,989), comprised of $627,699 (CDN$756,000) for land and $1,322,027 (CDN$1,592,247) for buildings and improvements.  


The Company holds a fee simple title to this property.  The Company has no present plans for the improvement of this property, and management believes the property is adequately covered by insurance.


Presently the property has an occupancy rate of 84%, with four primary tenants that each occupies between 5% and 30% of the total space in the building.  The Company has entered into head lease agreements with each of these 4 tenants, one of which is the Company’s formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Canada. Capital Canada has subleased all of its available square footage to two corporate entities.

The first head lease agreement for 6,546 square feet of office space is between the Company and Toshiba, which was assigned to the Company upon the purchase of the building. The Toshiba lease generates $62,506 (CDN $75,282) in annual rental payments and expires July 31, 2005.  Annual lease rates per square foot remain constant at $9.55 (CDN $11.50) plus operating costs. Toshiba is a major supplier of office equipment.


The second head lease agreement is with Group 4 Falck ("Group 4") for 6,386 square feet of office space. The Group 4 lease currently generates $37,737 (CDN $52,685) in annual rental payments and expires November 30, 2007.  Annual lease rates per square foot escalate over the term of the lease as follows:  $5.19 (CDN $7.25) in 2003, $5.91 (CDN $8.25) in 2004, $6.09 (CDN $8.50) in 2005, $6.80 (CDN $9.50) in 2006 and $7.88 (CDN $11.00) in 2007, plus operating costs. Group 4 provides security services.


The third head lease agreement is with the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Capital Canada for 3,136 square feet of office space and lab space for a term of 5 years, expiring on October 31, 2005 at an annual lease rate of $28,117 (CDN$33,864), or $9.13 (CDN$11.00) per square foot.  Capital Canada has subleased all available space to two tenants; the first tenant has a sublease on an escalating rate which expires on October 31, 2005.  The current rate of $14.94 ($18.00CDN) is the maximum rate under the sublease.  The second sublease at $13.28 ($16.00CDN) per sq foot plus an equipment cost of $ 233.89 ($281.70 CDN) per month expired on December 31, 2003 and has continued on a month to month basis since that date. As at the date of this report this tenant has entered into an additional head lease with the Company for one year, therefore the Company believes that this tenant will maintain the existing month to month at least until the sale of the building in April 2005 is concluded.  The subleases are both to companies involved in the chemical industry.  Presently the Company receives incremental income from these leases through consolidation of Capital Canada’s operations for purposes of FACT’s financial reporting.  With the completion of the spin-off of Capital Canada in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, during 2005 to the date of the sale of the property, the Company will only receive rental income from Capital Canada, and will no longer benefit from the incremental income generated by Capital Canada’s two subtenants.  The Company does not expect this to adversely affect monthly revenues due to the pending sale of the property.


The fourth head lease agreement was entered on October 21, 2004 with Screen Giant Media Corp. for 718.8 square feet for a monthly rental of $726.50 ($875 CDN).  On December 15, 2004, the rental agreement was amended whereby the leased area was increased to 1,017 square feet for a monthly rental of $1,120.89 ($1,350 CDN).  The new lease agreement commenced on January 1, 2005 and is to expire on January 31, 2006.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


1.

Plan of Operation

At present, based on current operations, the Company does not have sufficient cash and liquid assets to satisfy its cash requirements on a monthly basis. While the Company does generate income from sales of functional premix and whipped toppings and rental income on a monthly basis, these proceeds are not sufficient to meet the Company's current monthly overhead, which includes the on-going business of three operational subsidiaries. The Company will require approximately $3,687,489 to cover its anticipated overhead and operational needs, inclusive of inventory, for the upcoming twelve-month period.  Revenues generated from operations (excluding real estate operations which are scheduled for disposition prior to the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2005) are expected to contribute $3,794,098 in gross revenues and offset operational overhead by approximately $1,118,584.  The Company anticipates the sale of both of its commercial real estate properties during the first 6 months of fiscal 2005, and therefore has not included potential revenues generated from these properties to offset overhead expenditures in its forecast.  Additionally, the greater part of the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s two commercial properties, the liquidation of other marketable securities and a recovery of the Company’s investment in Capital Canada, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary, are intended to be allocated to retire the Company’s outstanding debt prior to allocating these proceeds to general working capital.  Operational overhead related to the real estate operations has been included in our calculation of forecasted expenditures however, up to the close of the second quarter of fiscal 2005.  While the Company has projected gross revenues from its food operations of approximately $3,794,098 over the upcoming twelve months, such projections are subject to numerous factors that are beyond our control. Projected operational costs and overhead of $3,687,489 include $2,380,840 for inventory and premix costs associated with the Company’s functional foods business, $294,673 associated with costs and inventory associated with the sale of our branded non-dairy whipped topping, $125,000 in advertising and marketing costs for our “at-home” line of premixes currently sold online at our internet store at www.eatwellstaywell.net and



15


$887,000 in general operating expenses relating to the Company and all of its existing subsidiaries. The Company may be required to raise approximately $500,000 to meet its projected costs should it not be successful in achieving its projected gross revenues. The Company expects that it will be able to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing to meet this need, or that net proceeds will be available from the divestiture/liquidation of its various non-core assets, once planned debt reduction (discussed above) has been concluded. The Company entered into a purchase agreement for one of its commercial properties prior to the end of fiscal 2004, with an anticipated closing date of April 22, 2005.  The Company has received a non-refundable deposit in respect of this transaction and is confident the sale will conclude as planned. The Company has also listed one of two condominium units comprising its second commercial property for sale at an asking price of approximately $450,000.  While there is no certainty the Company will conclude the sale of this second property, funds contributed from the sale of these commercial properties would substantially meet any shortfall in general operating expenses, after all associated debt obligations have been retired.   The Company may alternatively be required to identify additional sources for financing, and also intends to contact investors that have previously provided funds to the Company.


The Company’s budget of $887,000 in general operating expenses includes the expenditure of approximately $342,640 over the next twelve months on ongoing product refinement, technical support, the development of second and third generation functional formulations, and advertising and marketing for our Nutrition First line of “at-home” premixes currently available for purchase on-line, including amounts paid to employees and consultants retained for the purposes of providing research and development support.


Included in the cash requirements noted above of $3,687,489 over the next twelve months is an amount of $759,184 with respect to the operations of FACT Group, exclusive of inventory requirements and forecasted costs of goods sold.  From the date of acquisition November 2001 to December 31, 2004, the Company has funded a total of $793,310(net of associated interest charges) to FACT Group in respect of its ongoing operational expenses.  


Should it be required, and if the Company is able to negotiate favorable terms, the Company may look to raise funds in excess of the current cash requirement by way of debt or equity financing in order to accelerate its growth.  The Company is currently assessing strategic joint ventures with complementary businesses in order to enhance and support its current operational objectives.  


 The Company anticipates that its subsidiary FACT Group will hire an additional one to three employees during the upcoming twelve months should the functional foods business meet projected operational and revenue targets. The Company will also look to retain one additional employee to assist in corporate development and financial operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT MIGHT AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUR STOCK PRICE.


Although we believe that expectations that are expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot promise that our expectations will turn out to be correct. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations, due to a variety of factors, including the following:


FUNCTIONAL FOODS BUSINESS:

*

We may not be able to continue to profitably market formulations for our current functional premixes or commercialize products under development. Our branded line of home-use products available lat our on-line store may not receive consumer acceptance.  Existing supply agreements with customers and ongoing expressions of interest from potential customers may not result in new or continuing supply or licensing agreements or generation of revenues in the time frame we envision.

*

While we have to date been able to secure supply and licensing contracts with recognized food industry clients, our products may not gain the necessary market acceptance from the end-of-the-line retail consumer in order to substantiate repeat sales to existing and/or future clients.

*

We may not be successful in educating the mainstream community as to the benefits of our products, even in partnership with larger, more experienced client firms and the proper resources.

*




16


*

We may not be able to secure favorable long-term agreements with our ingredient suppliers, and as a result may not be able to provide our clients product in a timely fashion and at the right price point.

*

Larger, more capitalized and more resourceful corporations have begun to introduce products into the marketplace in direct competition to our client's products, and our premixes, and we may not be able to successfully maintain or increase market share.

*

Even if we secure multiple clients and our products gain the requisite market acceptance, we may not be able to successfully expand our business to meet our projected growth, or respond effectively to the industry's demand for new products.

*

While our formulations will be protected under stringent non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, that may not provide the Company adequate protection and others may be able to develop similar formulations.


REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS:


Until such time as the Company can successfully divest its remaining real estate assets, a portion of our operations and revenue stream is derived from leasing activities which generate rental income. Such operations may be affected by a number of external factors including:


*

The rental market for commercial real estate is subject to fluctuations which may prevent the Company from keeping its properties leased or from achieving 100% capacity lease arrangements.

*

The ability of the Company to continue to generate income from its rental properties is somewhat dependent on the ability of the Company to offer competitive lease rates within the immediately surrounding area.

*

Presently a portion of the Company's existing rental income is generated through lease payments from development stage businesses that may not realize revenues, or continue to realize revenues sufficient to meet their ongoing lease obligations.

*

The tenants of the Company’s real estate properties may default on their payment obligations and the Company may not be able to locate suitable replacement tenants.

*

The ability of the Company to recognize value for its real estate is dependent upon a fluctuating real estate market. The Company may not be able to successfully market its assets so that we recover our initial investment.


INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE AND NON-MARKETABLE SECURITIES:


The Company has made equity investments in a public reporting Alberta corporation and its private subsidiary, and has received securities in a second public reporting corporation as a settlement from one of its former creditors. The ability of the Company to recover its initial investment, realize a gain or recover value for the non-cash settlement of a liability is subject to numerous external factors including: the marketability of the acquired securities, the liquidity of the market for the securities, the ability of the corporations in which the Company has invested to continue to operate their businesses and achieve successful operations, and factors affecting the business environment of the corporations in which the Company is invested.


GENERAL OPERATIONS:

*

Despite the growth of the Company’s primary business over the past 24 months, the Company still has limited operating history and, therefore, little history on which to base any forecasts.

*

Although the Company intends to divest all non-core assets and investments, we are presently operating in several different industry segments, each of which are subject to substantial external risk factors which may affect the Company's ability to recognize value.

*




17


*

We have incurred substantial operating losses and risk never becoming profitable.

*

Shareholders will face substantial dilution of their equity ownership percentage if we have to issue additional shares to raise capital or make new acquisitions. The extent of potential dilution depends significantly on the market price of our outstanding shares and may cause significant dilution in the value of your investment.

*

While the Company anticipates we will have sufficient revenues from operations to continue to operate, there is no guarantee this will occur.  The Company may be unable to obtain further financing prior to achieving profitable results.

Forward-looking statements included in this report speak only as of the filing date of this report and we do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


Overview


The Company is a development stage company with its primary operations in the food industry, however, we continue to operate our commercial real estate properties, and also have negligible equity investments in certain marketable and non-marketable securities. With the acquisition of FACT Group as a wholly owned subsidiary in November 2001, FACT determined to re-focus its operations on one industry sector, the functional foods arena, and determined to divest the balance of these assets in favor of developing its functional foods business. The Company has successfully divested certain of these on-core assets during fiscal 2004, and intends to proceed with the divestiture of each of these remaining assets immediately upon reaching satisfactory agreements for sale, the intent being a recovery of or a gain on the initial investment.  


The following paragraphs provide an overview of the industry sector in which the Company will focus its resources, and in which we are currently developing our business directly and through certain wholly owned subsidiaries.


Functional Foods Industry


In 1989, Stephen DeFelice, chairman of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine, first introduced the term, "nutraceutical" to describe foods with nutritional and pharmaceutical qualities. More recently the term "nutraceutical" has become commonly substituted for the term "functional".  We believe that the most accurate description of  “functional foods” are foods, similar in appearance to conventional foods that are consumed as part of a usual diet, which demonstrate physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic diseases beyond basic nutritional functions.  To answer North America's appetite for health, many ingredient suppliers have developed functional ingredients for use in foods. In 2001 Mintel, a firm of industry analysts, suggested the market for functional foods in the US was approx $1.4 billion, with a global market at that time of approx $47 Billion.  The trend indicates continuing growth and we see this as a particularly attractive niche – provided we can offer quality products as we grow and continue to secure market share.  


We believe that the mainstream consumer is changing.   We expect that as people learn more about the links between diet and health, and as the necessity for special needs diets is growing rapidly in North America, consumers will recognize the benefits offered by functional foods, and that they will continue to actively seek these products to include  in their daily diets. We believe that the key is to offer consumers added health benefits in foods they already enjoy, and to make certain they taste good in order to establish repeat sales of functional products. Companies intending on competing in this sector must also be willing to make a commitment to provide the consumer with educational materials and information to help them make healthier choices.


FACT Group has developed a line of functional dough and batter based formulations in order to supply and license turnkey premixes providing health benefits to a variety of customers for the manufacture of finished products, including  a variety of breads, bagels, pasta, pizza crust and sweet baked goods such as cookies, muffins, donuts and cakes.   All our products have been specially formulated for manufacturers to complement their existing non-functional products and capture significant incremental revenue with no change to existing manufacturing processes. This product line up has been expanded in early 2005 with the introduction of our online store at www.eatwellstaywell.net where we directly offer the consumer our line of home-use bake mixes under our Nutrition First™ brand.


Use of FACT Group’s proprietary premixes enable consumers and manufacturers to address numerous health conditions, including the following concerns:



18



. Weight Management/Control/Obesity

. Diabetes/Glucose Control

. Heart Disease

. Carbohydrate Management

. Digestive Health

. Dietary fiber enhancement


FACT Group estimates that a large number, perhaps as many as 60 million Americans,  actively follow a specific dietary regimen at any time; that over 40 million Americans who suffer from some form of chronic digestive disorder; that 2 of every 5 Americans have high cholesterol; and that over 16 million Americans are diagnosed diabetics.  Recent studies have indicated that obesity rivals heart disease as the number one cause of death in the United States.  By eating products made with FACT Group’s functional premixes as a part of a regular daily diet, end consumers do not have to dramatically change their lifestyle in order to reap the benefits of reduced digestible carbohydrates, glucose management, increased fiber, reduced calories, low sodium, no added sugar and no cholesterol.


FACT Group’s products are developed keeping in mind that taste is important, and we believe that we must achieve good taste to ensure FACT Group’s success in the marketplace.  Weight management, carbohydrate control and fiber enhancement solutions through healthy, functional foods is a large and growing segment of the overall food category and through sales of premix to manufacturers, who create a variety of food products, FACT Group hopes to be able to provide solutions to consumers in supermarkets, specialty health food stores, restaurants, foodservice distributors and convenience stores with minimal associated overhead.  FACT’s new online store now allows us to deal directly with the retail consumer, providing products that support their particular diets and requirements.


The multiple benefits associated with the products created from FACT Group’s functional premixes should allow our commercial customers to position new functional products to suit their current market positioning, generate line extensions or create entirely new product lines with functional benefits.  These same benefits can be imparted directly to those consumers that purchase our branded product directly online.


In fiscal 2003, FACT Group entered into a licensing agreement with a major bakery ingredient distributor for the sale of premixes manufactured using our formulations, under the distributors own brand.  Additionally, we have developed a line of snack bars using our functional premixes, to compliment our new line of  retail sized, home-use bakery mixes which we intend to add to our online offerings for sale direct to the consumer during fiscal 2005.  The bars and retail size bake mixes can also be customized and marketed to our commercial clients.


FACT Group has made application to trademark its own symbol for brand recognition, Nutrition First™. FACT Group presently uses this trademark not only for its line of premixes available to manufacturers, but also on its own line of “home-use” products for sale directly to the consumer.  Ultimately FACT Group is hopeful its trademark will stand as a symbol of quality ingredients on customers’ end packaging in support of the health benefit positions they intend to market, adding value, similar to the NutraSweet® swirl.  


Present Situation


FACT Group is currently marketing and selling its functional premixes for breads, pizza crust, bagels, pasta and sweet goods products to independent manufactures and a major bakery ingredient distributor.  FACT’s revenue stream is presently dependent on one key customer which accounts for approximately 85% of the Company’s total annual sales.  The Company is in advanced negotiations with several potential clients for the provision of premixes and products across various new segments including snack bars, retail size mixes, sweet goods and new product formats.


The Company anticipates it will achieve gross sales of approximately $3,700,000 million in fiscal 2005 from the sale of premix and products to the consumer, as well as existing and new customers across its various product categories.


In the event the Company is unable to achieve its targeted gross sales, the Company may seek to raise additional equity or debt capital of up to$500,000, which proceeds will be used to fund the operations of FACT Group including its 2005 marketing and advertising plans and to expand the product offering at its online store, www.eatwellstaywell.net.  As at the date of this report the Company does not have commitments to provide these funds. The Company expects to realize funds during the current fiscal year to assist with its ongoing operations through the sale of certain real estate assets and other marketable securities presently under agreement for sale or targeted for divestiture.  Should FACT Group



19


achieve its forecasted sales of X million in fiscal 2005, it may not require additional funding for its operations.  Additionally, successfully achieving our sales targets should provide for profitability by the end of fiscal 2005.



Our products


Products currently being marketed by the Company include formulations for bread, bagels, fresh pasta and sweet baked goods, including ready-to-eat snack bars, which offer the consumer a combination of added health benefits including: no sugar, no cholesterol, reduced carbohydrates, low fat, high fiber and low sodium. The foundation or “core” of each of the end products is a dough or batter based system, the composition of which varies depending on the product type and flavor. The Company currently uses two independent blending facilities located in New York state, to blend the dry ingredients forming our premix. Agreements with the blending facilities allow FACT Group to maintain control over its proprietary formulations and ensure the formulations remain proprietary. The blend of dry ingredients for each product category, referred to as "premix", is then delivered to FACT Group’s customers for addition of the balance of ingredients, manufacturing of product and distribution. Products are distributed under the clients' brand or private label. Revenues are generated by way of a fixed cost per pound of premix sold to the customer.  FACT Group also generates revenue through a licensing agreement with a major North American bakery ingredient distributor.  This distributor pays FACT Group a royalty for each pound of premix sold under their own label.  The distributor’s private label premix is manufactured using FACT Group’s proprietary formulations, Additionally, FACT Group intends to work towards securing private labeling agreements during fiscal 2005 for its line of ready-to-eat snack bars and other line extensions.


Targeted industry segments


Bread

The U.S. bread market is divided into 2 product categories: packaged branded bread i.e. (Wonder bread) and fresh bakery bread. Bakery breads are produced on site by supermarket in-store bakeries or by other retailers, including independent bakeries. FACT Group will focus their efforts on this premium segment. The majority of the growth in the bread market, which is 5%-6% per annum, has been in the fresh, gourmet (artisan) and boutique segments.


Sales of in-store or independent bakery breads has grown at a rate of 7% annually since 1993 and translates into a $5 billion industry. Sales of these premium breads are coming at the expense of packaged breads.  Boutique bakery breads sales are experiencing an annual growth rate of 25% and are now exceeding $300 million for this segment.  Of late, industry reports indicate a decline in overall bread sales of between 15% and 20%.  Various industry authorities attribute this decline to the increasing interest in controlled carbohydrate offerings.  FACT Group’s premixes for bread and bread-based products offer a solution for manufacturers in the bread industry.  FACT Group’s line of bread products are reduced in digestible carbohydrates and high in fiber, making them suitable for controlled carbohydrate diets, as well as other diet conscious consumers.


Pasta

 

The U.S. market in dry pasta sales are approximately $2.25 billion. With the addition of the food service contribution to pasta sales, the category jumps to over $5 billion in annual sales.   The pasta category has also experienced a decline in sales in 2003 and 2004, which is believed to be associated with the trend towards “reduced carb” product offerings.


Pasta is similar to bread from a formulation perspective and FACT Group’s proprietary mixes work in a similar fashion as they do in bread.


For pasta products, FACT Group provides functional benefits by creating a unique high fiber, reduced digestible carbohydrate formulation. While there are high fiber pastas on the market today, achieved by the addition of whole grains, FACT Group has taken a different approach to the market by not only improving the taste of high fiber pasta, but concurrently reducing net digestible carbohydrates using state of the art fibers clinically proven to have numerous health benefits. FACT Group sees opportunities for customers across the pasta category including dry and fresh pasta. Initially, customers will include smaller branded, private label and specialty manufacturers.  FACT has developed a line of reduced carb, high fiber pastas which is being distributed under the Quick Quisine label by one of our commercial clients under license from Atkins Nutritional Inc.  The Company expects to see this product launched on the East Coast in spring 2005 with expansion to other North American markets in the late summer or fall of fiscal 2005.



20



Sweet Goods


                     

The ready baked sweet goods category represents some $13.8 billion in annual US sales. The key market elements include cookies at $7.1 billion and sweet goods such as muffins, brownies, etc. that are largely sold in the baked goods aisle at  $3.7 billion. Some $3.1 billion of total sweet goods are sold as refrigerated/frozen items available chiefly in supermarkets.


FACT Group’s formulations can offer a wide range of traditional product offerings that are better for you.  This category is mature and ripe for innovation as consumers are looking for answers to living a healthier lifestyle without sacrificing taste or quality. FACT Group has a number of product options available in this category including cookies, muffins, brownies, cakes, scones, donuts, pancakes and waffles.  


Portion Controlled/ Individually Wrapped/Ready-to-eat Convenience

                                                                                                                                                                                   Consumers’ lifestyles and time demands have driven dramatic growth in individually wrapped, ready-to-eat snacking items. Individually wrapped cookies, brownies, muffins etc. are widely available from supermarkets, convenience stores and vending machines. These items are sold both individually packaged or in multi packs.


   

FACT Group is pursuing this rapidly growing format with potential customers in two market segments.  One set of customers see the opportunity to build distribution of lower carbohydrate/high fiber individual products in the convenience store and vending channels. Another set of potential customers are focusing on the weight management aspect of portion controlled units that allow dieters to control calories and reduced carbohydrate/high fiber benefits while still enjoying full flavored taste. FACT has developed an attractive line of reduced  carbohydrate, high fiber snack bars fortified with 25% of the recommended daily allowance of 17 essential vitamins and minerals which will be its first product offering in this segment.  The Company is presently in negotiations for the launch of customized versions of its line of snack bars in late fiscal 2005.


The direct to consumer opportunity


With the rapidly growing market trend towards reduced carbohydrate products, and a desire by the consumer to return to the kitchen, at-home retail sized mixes in this category are seeing substantial growth.  Additionally, the health conscious consumer is motivated to actively seek out products to suit their dietary needs.  Subsequent to the close of fiscal 2005 FACT launched its online store at www.eatwellstaywell.net to take advantage of this attractive opportunity.  Presently the Company is selling a variety of bake at home mixes, including brownies, cookies, an all purpose bake mix and other fare under its Nutrition First brand from its internet store.  Complimentary products such as our line of Italian crèmes are also available for purchase.  The Company has developed a complete marketing and advertising plan for implementation in fiscal 2005 to introduce our online store to the consumer and attract increased product sales.   We will also look to add to the product offering available at the online store during the second half of fiscal 2005.


Key customer segments


Manufacturers

Distributors

Retailers and Food Service

Specialty/Health/Diet

Direct to Consumer


Other Food Products


During fiscal 2003 FACT Products Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT Group Inc., acquired a line of imported shelf stable, non-dairy whipped toppings known as Aunt Lydia’s Italian Crèmes.   FACT Products has the exclusive worldwide rights to the Aunt Lydia’s brand crèmes and commenced marketing the product towards the end of fiscal 2004.  The crèmes are unique in formulation and are available in four flavors including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mocha, and do not require refrigeration to stay fresh.  The Company has executed multiple purchase orders from an East Coast retail supermarket chain and continues to market the product to other retailers in order to expand sales of the product line.  The product is currently sold in cases, and additional formats including multi-pack units suitable for club stores and 36 –unit shippers for in aisle supermarket display were added to our product portfolio in fiscal



21


2004.  The Company is hopeful that with increased distribution this product line will provide an additional revenue stream to offset current operational shortfalls.  At the start of fiscal 2005 the Company also commenced sales of this product direct to the consumer from its online store at www.eatwellstaywell.net.  Presently the Company is negotiating with club stores, quick-serve restaurants and several international distributors for the possible sale of this product.


Milestones

NEAR TERM GOALS (2005)


The Company’s near term goals include a focus on the ongoing operation of our functional foods business.  FACT Group intends to increase its presence in marketplace by continuing to provide premix to customers who will launch functional food products and further develop our corporate infrastructure. The Company is hoping to see improved sales of its premixes during fiscal 2005 to a wider array of commercial clients, as well as increased product diversification in the marketplace.  Additionally, the Company intends to direct resources to its new online store where we presently market our own line of retail “at-home” mixes directly to the consumer.  Our marketing plans call for promotional offers, and a focused internet and print advertising campaign to help establish recognition for our master brand, “Nutrition First™”. We also intend to expand the product offerings for our online store in the second half of 2005 to appeal to a wider range of consumers.


The Company also intends to conclude the divestiture of its other assets in order to focus entirely on the operations of its foods businesses.  The Company established a test kitchen in Freehold, New Jersey in fiscal 2003 for the purpose of ongoing development of new functional formulations and products, which we continue to use as our primary operational location.  FACT Group is aggressively pursuing additional supply and licensing arrangements with corporations established in the food industry for the manufacture, marketing and distribution of our line of functional premixes. It is the intent of the Company that additional customers will launch products containing our functional premixes throughout the year so that revenues generated from the functional food business will assist the Company in achieving profitability during fiscal 2005.


Presently the Company is in negotiation with several additional clients for the supply and licensing of our functional premixes for breads, bagels, pasta and a variety of sweet baked goods, as well as our line of snack bars and private label opportunities for our direct to consumer retail mixes. The Company is hopeful it will finalize these negotiations throughout fiscal 2005.


To further enhance our ability to increase revenues in fiscal 2005 the Company may also look to complete strategic mergers or acquisitions with complimentary businesses.   In this manner the Company may be able to access previously unavailable distribution channels in a more expedient manner.


INTERMEDIATE TERM GOALS (2006-2007)


Building on our near-term plan for development, the Company intends to experience substantial growth  over  the intermediate term. Our objectives include the following:

*

Continued growth for of our line of “at-home” products under our master brand, Nutrition First, for direct market to the end consumer via internet and other channels.  Potential expansion of this line to include a unique off-shoot of products specially directed to the diabetic and glucose management markets.  

*

Expand our client base to include supply and licensing partnerships with additional medium to large sized industry participants and certain major industry participants in the manufacturing, distribution, quick serve restaurant and food service channels;

*

Formation of an Asian and  European division to market and launch products in international markets;

*

Ongoing successful education of retail consumers through public relations initiatives and mass media coverage;

*

Continue to develop and refine new lines of second and third generation functional products, perhaps to include a line of premixes for end products which would be marketed as supplements as opposed to food products;

These initiatives will require additional capitalization of an amount that is as yet undetermined, however, the Company believes it can achieve these goals provided funds can be made available through profits from ongoing premix and product sales, additional debt and/or equity financing, or conventional credit arrangements with major banking institutions.



22


LONG TERM GOALS (2007 AND BEYOND)


The Company intends to achieve successful market penetration in numerous segments of the functional foods industry, generating escalating positive cash flows on an annual basis so that the Company becomes a competitive leading participant in the industry. Management will look to have its first, second and third generation of functional premixes and other products widely distributed across Europe, Asia and North America with a view to expanding to other international markets, while continuing to supply premixes to various food manufacturers, distributors and major retailers under private label and other conventional arrangements.


Financial Outlook


The Company has completed the spin off of its operational oil and gas subsidiary during the final quarter of fiscal 2004 and therefore has no longer included this subsidiary in its consolidated balance sheets.  Additionally, the Company does not intend it will generate substantial revenues from its real estate operations during this current fiscal year, having accepted an offer to purchase one of its commercial properties with a closing date scheduled in April 2005, and aggressively pursing the sale of the second commercial property.  Our 2005 mandate calls for the divestiture of all remaining non-core assets as soon as practicable, which will allow the Company to greatly streamline its operations, will provide additional funds for ongoing working capital and the settlement of outstanding debts.   The Company expects to focus on increasing the revenue stream generated by the supply and licensing of its commercial functional food premixes and products to various clients and by generating sales from its new online store.


The Company may seek to raise approximately $500,000 dollars in the form of debt and/or equity financing in the near term to assist with growth objectives.  As noted above, we will continue to look to divest those assets not directly related to our core business of functional food products. This should provide the Company adequate resources to continue operations and establish increased cash flows to cover operational expenses and achieve profitability by the close of fiscal 2005. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this amount of capital or meeting its anticipated operational goals.


Results of Operations


Comparison of 2004 and 2003


For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Company incurred operating losses of $131,147 and $754,173 respectively. Fiscal 2004 losses included a substantial increase in revenues to $1,417,607 from $757,537 (2003).  The increase in revenues can be attributed to an increase in sales of functional food premixes to $918,690 during fiscal 2004 as compared to sales of $498,615 in fiscal 2003.  Associated costs of goods sold relating to functional premix sales increased from $313,525 (2003) to $507,132 (2004).  Oil and gas sales and expenses decreased from $22,652 in 2003 to nil in 2004 due to the Company’s disposition of the majority of the producing oil and gas leases in May 2003. As such, there had been no operation in 2004 compared to three months of operation in 2003.  In addition, revenues from sales of petroleum products decreased from $30,583 in fiscal 2003 to nil in fiscal 2004, again as a result of the divestiture of the oil and gas operations.   Rental income remained relatively constant over the two years ended 2004 and 2003 at $213,011 (2004) and $221,089 (2003), respectively.  The Company has entered into an agreement for the sale of one of its two commercial properties, which is expected to close in April 2005. Legal fees decreased substantially from $230,942 (2003) to $70,888 (2004).  The substantially increased legal costs in 2003 were a direct result of litigation with certain shareholders of FACT Group at that time.  There were no similar proceedings in fiscal 2004.  There was a decrease in consulting fees (consulting fees and services settled by the issue of shares) from $352,306 (2003) to $285,084 (2004) as a result of the termination of several consultants to FACT Group due to the litigation.   Associated administrative expenses decreased from $441,304 (2003) to $315,052 (2004) due to further streamlining of the Company’s food operations.

  

In fiscal 2004, there was a non-recurring, non-operating expense totaling $48,562 which is virtually unchanged from the 2003 expense which totaled $48,191.  This expense reflects the movement in the value of assets held by a private corporation in which the Company holds an interest.


Interest expenses and fees increased in 2004 as the Company obtained funds to meet the shortfall from its operations through conventional mortgages and loans from private investors. Other income decreased substantially from $35,815 in 2003 to $35 in 2004 as the 2003 figure included a non-recurring source of revenue resulting from a receipt of a non-refundable deposit of $35,815 with respect to a purchase agreement for the sale of one of the Company’s



23


commercial properties, which did not close during fiscal 2003. With respect to the disposal of substantially all of the Company’s operating oil and gas assets in fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a gain of $27,803 in fiscal 2003, as compared to only $347 in 2004.  The Company no longer carries out operations n the oil and gas segment.  2004 results also include the impairment of certain inventory assets to reflect current market value.  There was no similar expense in fiscal 2003.


Net losses for the two completed fiscal years were $595,303 (2004) and  $1,004,274 (2003) respectively,


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Summary of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity


As of December 31, 2004, the Company had negative working capital of $3,610,886 and Stockholders' Equity of $40,142 compared with negative working capital of $1,259,137 and Stockholders' Equity of $146,790 as of December 31, 2003. The Company’s working capital has been decreased as a result of the accumulation to current liabilities of additional short term loans. Stockholders' Equity increased predominantly as a result of the disposition of Capital Canada, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  As a result of the disposition, Capital Canada’s accumulated losses are no longer included in the Company’s 2004 stockholders’ equity.


Liquidity


The Company anticipates it may require approximately $500,000 over the next twelve months to fully implement its existing business plan, which includes significant marketing efforts, the continued development and refinement of functional food formulations and products, a consumer awareness and public relations campaign, concepts for development, manufacturing and distribution of a line of our own master brand food products via the internet, expanded management resources and support staff, and other day to day operational activities.  The Company may require additional funds over the next three years to assist in realizing its goals should it not achieve anticipated bench marks over the 2005, 2006 and 2007 fiscal years.  The amount and timing of additional funds required can not be definitively stated as at the date of this report and will be dependent on a variety of factors.   As of the filing of this report, the Company has been successful in raising funds required to meet our existing revenue shortfall for the funding of our operations. Funds have been raised through private loans, equity financing and conventional bank debt. The Company anticipates revenues generated from its functional food business will greatly reduce the requirement for additional funding; however, we can not be certain the Company will be successful in achieving revenues from those operations. Furthermore the Company cannot be certain that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations.


Sources of Working Capital


During 2004 the Company's primary sources of working capital have come from revenues generated from our functional foods business, revenues generated by our commercial rental properties and the net proceeds from:

*

$427,599 in the form of private and institutional loans bearing interest at various rates;

*

$479,730 in the form of loans from related parties bearing interest at various rates; and,

*

$19,600 from sales of common stock.

As noted above, the Company is actively pursuing the divestiture of its real estate, having accepted an offer for the sale of one of its two commercial properties in December 2004.  The Company is also aggressively pursuing the liquidation of all marketable and non-marketable securities.  


On March 6, 2003 the Company announced the pending distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Canada, to the existing shareholders of the Company on the basis of one (1) share of Capital Canada for every five (5) shares of the Company.  This transaction concluded in the final quarter of fiscal 2004.  As of December 31, 2004 Capital Canada is in debt to the Company in the net amount of $650,559, which amount has been impaired by $325,000 on the books of the Company to reflect anticipated recovery, the repayment of which amount is currently under negotiation by the Boards of the Company and Capital Canada. Additionally, concurrent with the spin off of Capital Canada, the Company lost certain incremental income from two real estate leases entered into between Capital Canada and two third parties, which income, up to the effective date of the spin off, was realized through

consolidation of Capital Canada’s operations for purposes of FACT’s financial reporting.  The Company does not expect this loss in incremental income to greatly impact its financial position.


Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures


Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into between FACT LLC and Steven Schechter, Jennifer Flynn and Steven Capodicasa, FACT Group has an obligation to pay a total of $2,000,000 in royalty payments over 10 years and the amount of up to $233,333 in salary compensation to Flynn and Schechter.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm





Board of Directors

Fact Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fact Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  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 consolidated financial position of Fact Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the consolidated results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 1, the Company has limited working capital and continued operating losses, which 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.

FACT Corporation

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003


Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


This summary of significant accounting policies of FACT Corporation (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 was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 3, 1982 as Capital Reserve Corporation for the purpose of operating as a financial services holding company.  The Company commenced operations soliciting various life, accident and health insurance policies in three states in the U.S. until October 1994 when it could no longer meet certain requirements to continue operations. The Company carried out various other operations between 1995 and the close of fiscal 1998, all of which operations had ceased by early 1999.


In 1999, the Company's principal place of business moved to Canada. In December 1999, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Reserve Canada Limited, an Alberta corporation ("Capital Canada"), to locate and acquire producing oil and gas assets in Canada.  This subsidiary was divested in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 by way of a distribution of shares to the shareholders of the Company and therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2004,


On November 7, 2001 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of Food and Culinary Technology Group Inc. (“FACT”), a Nevada corporation, whereby all of the issued and outstanding shares of FACT were exchanged for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock. (Note 2)


On February 8, 2002, the Company changed its name to FACT Corporation.


On July 23, 2002 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Wall Street Real Estate Limited (“WSRE”), an Alberta corporation. WSRE purchased from the Company, certain commercial real estate located at 1528-1530 9th Avenue S.E., Calgary, Alberta, Canada.


As of December 31, 2004, the Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Wall Street Investments Corporation (WSIC) (dormant Colorado corporation), FACT and WSRE.  FACT Products Inc. (formerly FACT Bread Company Inc.), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in November 2001 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of FACT.


Operations


Real Property The Company owns three real properties located in the City of Calgary; two of which are commercial buildings and the other is residential.  The commercial properties are held for production of rental income and the residential property is held subject to a consulting agreement (Note16).  These activities currently produce annual revenues for the Company.


Functional Food Business   The Company entered the functional food industry in November 2001 with the acquisition of FACT.  During the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company commenced sales of its functional food formulations. The majority of revenues for the current fiscal year were derived from these ongoing operations in the food industry.  The Company continues to pursue further commercial supply and licensing contracts for its existing line of functional food formulations, premixes and products.

FACT Corporation

Notes to Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003


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.


Basis of Consolidation


As a result of the distribution of Capital Canada in 2004 (note 16), the consolidated financial statements for 2004 include the Company and its remaining wholly owned subsidiaries FACT, WSRE and FACT Products Inc.  The consolidated financial statements for 2003 include Capital Canada.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


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 for office equipment and computers and over 25 years for buildings.


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's Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of  FACT and FACT Products Inc. is the United States Dollar. The Company translates amounts into United States dollars using the current rate method.  Under this method, assets and liabilities 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 (including both Class A and c) outstanding during the year.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.


Inventory


The company’s inventory consists of functional premix food products and shelf stable non-dairy whipped toppings is valued at the lesser of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method.


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 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.  The fair market value of long term debt can not be determined due to a lack of comparability of similar market instruments.

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

Revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  Under SAB 101, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue for food products is recognized when the Company has concluded arrangements with customers and the product is shipped. The Company has not experienced any material expense in satisfying warranties and returns. Rental income from real estate properties is recognized on a monthly basis in accordance with lease provisions unless the Company determines that collection is unlikely. The Company recognizes oil and gas sales upon delivery to the purchaser using the sales method.  


Other

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


The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and the total amounts for 2004 and 2003 were minimal.


The Company paid no cash dividends in 2004 or 2003.


Reclassifications


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


Basis of Presentation – Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has insufficient working capital and is sustaining losses, and therefore may be forced to discontinue operations. This fact raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management plans to raise additional capital to complete its business plan.

Note 2 – Acquisition of Food and Culinary Technology Group Inc. (“FACT”), Intellectual Property, and Issuance of Class C Common Stock

 

On November 20, 2001, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of FACT in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock. The acquisition is treated as a purchase that is valued at $0.65 per share or $1,350,000, consisting principally of certain intellectual property, formulas, patent rights and other intangible assets. The excess of the amounts paid, over the fair value of the net assets acquired (which were nominal), is allocated to the intangible assets of $1,350,000. Since 60% of the FACT common stock acquired was from a related party, who had no verifiable historical cost for their shares, the portion of the intangible assets acquired attributable to the related party of $810,000 has not been included in the accompanying balance sheet. The remaining portion, $540,000 is attributable to parties who were not related parties. Management believes that the amount allocated to intangible assets represents fair value of the assets acquired. The per share value attributed to the Class C common shares is $0.65 per share, which is the same as the market price of the Class A shares on the date of acquisition.

 

The 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock that it issued on November 20, 2001, to acquire all of the shares of FACT, are convertible into a total of 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As of February 11, 2004, all of the holders of the Company’s Class C common stock elected to convert all of their shares into shares of Class A common stock.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Class C common stock was canceled and a total of 12,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were issued.

 

Prior to the acquisition, FACT had entered into an agreement to acquire certain intellectual property, formulas, patent rights and other intangible assets (the “Intellectual Property”) owned by F.A.C.T. Group LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the “LLC”), for $2,000,000 to be paid in cash pursuant to terms described herein and by the issuance of shares of FACT’s common stock.

 

In August 2003, the Company and the member owners of LLC entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve certain disputes and claims that had arisen between the parties. As a result, the parties agreed that the following consideration would be paid in connection with the acquisition of the Intellectual Property:

 

a.           Royalty payments shall be paid to the LLC calculated on the sale of bakery and pasta products at a rate of $0.05 per pound of premix sold until a total of $2,000,000 has been paid.

 

a.

FACT is obligated to make minimum royalty payments each year. In year 2005, the minimum amount of royalty payments to be paid is $45,500. For each subsequent year, the minimum amount increases by 30% Amounts for the next 10 years are as follows:


2005 – $  45,500

2006 – $  59,150

2007 – $  76,895

2008 – $  99,963

2009 – $129,953

2010 – $168,938

2011 – $219,620

2012 – $285,506


Upon reaching year 10, all remaining royalties become due and payable.

c.           An additional royalty payment of $20,000 was made to the LLC in 2003.

  

d.            Additional consideration of $233,333 to be paid to two (2) of the LLC’s member owners in monthly payments over the period of time commencing on September 1, 2003 through December 2006. Such amount will be decreased in the event that such member owners personally earn more than a certain amount in any of the stated years or if the amount of royalty payments is in excess of $150,000 in any year.  At the close of fiscal 2003 the Company recorded a liability of $227,878 to reflect the estimated future payments under this agreement and added this amount to the carrying value of the intangible asset.

 

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” addresses financial accounting and reporting: (1) at the date of acquisition of goodwill and intangible assets apart from goodwill acquired other than in a business combination and (2) all goodwill and intangible assets apart from goodwill subsequent to their acquisition. A principal requirement of this statement is to determine the useful lives of intangible assets and amortize or not amortize the intangible assets accordingly. Intangible assets apart from goodwill with finite lives are to be amortized over their useful lives to their residual value, if any, whereas goodwill and intangible assets apart from goodwill with indefinite lives are not to be amortized. Another principal requirement of this statement relates to impairment of intangible assets. This statement, in its entirety, became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Certain provisions of the statement were effective July 1, 2001 since the intangible assets were acquired after that date. Management believes that currently the intangible assets have an indefinite useful life, but expects that once significant commercial operations commence using the intangible assets, an estimated useful life will be determinable and the intangible assets will be amortized.

Note 4 - Investment in Texas T Companies (Texas T Resources, Inc and Texas T Petroleum Limited)


During the year 2000, the Company agreed with Texas T Resources Inc. ("Resources") (a public reporting Alberta corporation) to fund a portion of the acquisition of a heavy oil upgrading technology by Resources' majority owned subsidiary, Texas T Petroleum Ltd., (“Petroleum”) (a private Colorado company).  Petroleum would acquire a 50% interest in Carbon Resources Limited, a Cyprus company, which holds the rights to the heavy oil upgrading technology known as "CPJ".


On August 1, 2000, in consideration of cash proceeds advanced to Resources for the development of the upgrading technology, the Company entered into a private placement agreement with Resources for the purchase of 2,000,000 units at $0.0677 per unit (each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the Company to purchase one additional share at $0.0880 for a period of two years from the date of issue).


Subsequently in the fiscal year 2000, the Company also completed a private placement with Petroleum, and acquired 2,000,000 Units at $0.50 per unit (each unit comprised of one share and one share purchase warrant entitling the Company to purchase one additional share at $1.00 per share for a period of two 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 the Company's shareholdings in Petroleum being reduced from 2,000,000 Units to 200,000 Units. The Company's percentage ownership of Petroleum remained constant following the reverse split.


On July 3, 2001, the Company completed a Stock Exchange Agreement with an unrelated third party where the Company exchanged 652,252 units of Resources for 106,101 common shares of Petroleum.


In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), investments and securities may be classified as (1) Securities held-to-maturity, (2) Trading Securities or (3) Securities available for sale. The Company considers these securities to be Securities available for sale, and, in accordance with SFAS 115, are valued at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in stockholders' equity.


As of December 31, 2004, the Company owns 89,775 shares of Resources, which has been recorded at $16,397 based on the quoted market price of the stock at that date.


As of December 31, 2004, the Company owns 306,101 common shares of Petroleum valued at $55,673 after elimination of the Company’s shares held by Petroleum.  As an investment in a nonmarketable security, the Company accounts for this investment using the equity method.

It applies immediately to VIE's created after January 31, 2003 and to VIE's in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003, the Interpretation applies for periods beginning after June 15, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB reissued Interpretation No. 46 with certain modifications and clarifications for certain VIE's. The Company has no unconsolidated VIE's and therefore its financial statements are in compliance with the requirements of Interpretation No. 46.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies the accounting guidance on certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No.150,  “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer of equity (including the equity shares of any entity whose financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements) classifies and measures on its balance sheet certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for existing financial instruments after July 1, 2003.  The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


During 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”, SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67”, SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”, and SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment”.  These statements are effective for periods after these financial statements.  We do not believe the impact of adoptions of these statements will be significant to our overall results of operations or financial position.


Note 13 – Income Taxes


As of December 31, 2004 the Company had approximately $5,008,303 of net operating loss carryover that expires between 2021 and 2023.  The Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $1,660,309 relating to the net operating loss carryover.  A valuation allowance has been provided for the total amount since the amounts, if any, of future revenues necessary to be able to utilize the carryover, are uncertain.


A reconciliation of income taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax compared to the effective tax rate is as follows:

Because of the 50% change in ownership rules of the Internal Revenue Code, certain prior net operating loss carryforwards are no longer available from periods before 2001.  Carryover of net operating losses available may also be restricted due to future changes in ownership.


Note 14 – Segment reporting


The Company’s operations are classified into two reportable segments that provide different products or services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different marketing, operations, and technology strategies.


The leasing segment derives its revenue from rental of real estate. The foods segment derives its income from the sale of functional food premixes, royalties received on the license of functional food formulations and product development consulting services.


There are no inter-segment sales.

Note 15 – Consulting Agreement (Related party)


On April 24, 2000, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with its former President and a current member of its Board of Directors, Mr. W. Scott Lawler, pursuant to which Mr. Lawler agreed to relocate to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to work at the Company's facilities in Calgary and devote more substantial time to the operations of the Company.  The term of the Consulting Agreement is two (2) years, with an option on Mr. Lawler's part to extend for one (1) additional year.  Upon the conclusion of the Consulting Agreement, the Company and Mr. Lawler agreed to an extension to the original agreement for a period of one (1) year.  Mr. Lawler’s consulting agreement calls for an annual salary of $75,000.00, with automatic salary increases of ten percent (10%) at the end of each year.  In addition, under the terms of the agreement Mr. Lawler is to receive a stock option package should the Company implement a stock option plan during the term of his contract.  In March 2001 the shareholders of the Company approved a stock option and award plan, and effective September 10, 2001, Mr. Lawler was granted 200,000 stock options for exercise at $1.00 per share for a period of five years from the grant date.  During the current fiscal year, the 200,000 options previously granted to Mr. Lawler were canceled.


As a further inducement for Mr. Lawler to move to Calgary on the Company's behalf, the Company purchased a home for Mr. Lawler's use.  The purchase price of the home was $629,750 (CDN$815,000).


The Company assumed a variable interest rate mortgage from Alberta Treasury Branches in the amount of $440,607 (CDN$570,217), amortized over 25 years, due and payable on May 1, 2005.  The monthly payments of principal and interest, property taxes and all other payments are to be paid by Mr. Lawler. Title to the property is in the name of the Company.  Mr. Lawler provided funds to the Company in the amount of $167,842 to pay for the down payment and all closing costs associated with the purchase in the form of a subscription for shares of Capital Reserve's common stock at the purchase price of $1.00 per share.


If and when the property is sold, the Company will receive any and all gains (and/or losses) from such sale, less the cost of any 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 the Company's mortgage; and (b) surrendering to the Company the 167,842 shares of common stock obtained from the Company.  During the year the Company completed a 4 for 1 reverse split of its common stock reducing the number of shares for surrender to 41,961.  The Company recognizes the principal reduction of the mortgage based on the payments of principal made by Mr. Lawler.

Note 16- Distribution of Capital Canada


By the end of fiscal 2002, initial sales had commenced in FACT Group, and the Company determined there was enough merit to commence the divestiture of certain of the Company’s non-core assets.  As a result the Company decided to spin-off its operating oil and gas subsidiary, Capital Canada, to its shareholders, subject to the filing and approval of a 20-F registration statement with the SEC, which was first filed by Capital Canada on  July 11, 2003.  During the final quarter of fiscal 2004, the spin-off became effective and the Company ceased to consolidate the financial records for Capital Canada for purposes of financial reporting.  As of December 31, 2004 Capital Canada is in debt to the Company in the net amount of $650,559, recorded on the balance sheet less impairment for recoverability of $325,000, the repayment of which amount, is currently under negotiation by the Boards of the Company and Capital Canada.

The Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Share Exchange  and an Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement on February 2, 2004 with shareholders of its Class C common stock.  The purpose of these amendments was to amend the terms of the conversion of the Class C common shares into Class A common shares.  As a result of these amendments, the Class A common stock has been converted into 12,000,000 shares of Class A common stock.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 Ultimate Resort Destinations Inc., a Nevada corporation which at the time shared a common officer and director with the Company, Ms. Jacqueline Danforth, provided funds totaling $211,115 in the form of a mortgage to the Company in respect of renovations made to certain of the Company'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 the Company up to that date.   The Secured Convertible Debenture is in the total amount of $650,000.  As part of this agreement, the Company issued to Ultimate 26,813 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 $1.458, 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. The loan is convertible into the Company's common stock at the rate of $1.60 until maturity. Interest is payable monthly on the last day of each month until maturity, at which time principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable.  If the shares underlying the debenture are registered by the Company with the SEC in an effective registration statement and the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exceeds $4.00 for a ten (10) day period of time, the balance of this debenture and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock..  During the month of December 2004, the Company renegotiated the terms of the Debenture with the lender to extend the note for a period up to an

32


additional 12 months, or December 31, 2005.  Interest will continue to accrue at a rate of 18% p.a., and shall accrue until maturity, at which time the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall become due and payable.  The Company entered into an agreement to sell one of its commercial properties in December 2004, with an anticipated closing in April 2005.  As part of this divestiture, the Company has agreed to reduce the amount of the loan outstanding with the lender from net proceeds derived from the sale. The specific amount of reduction will be negotiated with the lender once the first and second mortgages on the property are retired and all legal fees, commissions and closing costs associated with the sale of have been determined. As at the date of this report, the sole director and officer of Ultimate Destinations Inc. is Mr. Clifford Larry Winsor who is Ms. Danforth’s stepfather.
