USE OF PROCEEDS The Corporation will receive 5,000,000 preferred shares in the capital of the Holder upon the issuance of the Underlying Shares to the Holder upon conversion of the Note. The Corporation would then have a 40% equity interest in the Holder. DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares"). As at May 28, 2001, the issued and outstanding share capital of the Corporation consisted of 463,926,698 Common Shares and no Preferred Shares. The following describes the changes in share capital of the Corporation since December 31, 2001:

5 22 COMMON SHARES Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote on the basis of one vote per Common Share, at all meetings of shareholders, to receive any dividend declared by the Corporation on the Common Shares and to receive the remaining property of the Corporation on its dissolution, liquidation or winding up. PREFERRED SHARES The Preferred Shares are issuable in series, but there are presently no Preferred Shares issued and outstanding and there is no present intention of the Corporation to issue any such shares. The Preferred Shares rank in priority to the Common Shares with respect to dividends and the distribution of assets. The Preferred Shares carry no voting rights except in specific circumstances and when required under applicable corporate law. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION On February 22, 2001, the Corporation placed in escrow the Note and Cdn$500,000 in cash pursuant to an escrow agreement dated February 22, 2001 among the Holder, the Corporation and Cassels, Brock & Blackwell LLP as escrow agent. On May 21, 2001, the Cdn$500,000, together with interest that had accrued thereon, and the Note were released from escrow to the Holder, in consideration of which the Holder issued 1,000,000 preferred shares in the capital of the Holder to the Corporation. The principal amount of the Note is due and payable on the Maturity Date. Upon the payment of the amounts outstanding under the Note (either in cash or by the issuance of the Underlying Shares) the Holder will issue to the Corporation 5,000,000 preferred shares in the capital of the Holder. The Corporation has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the Receipt for the Final Prospectus from the Commissions in the Qualifying Jurisdictions before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Maturity Date. If the Receipt is not obtained from the Commissions in the Qualifying Jurisdictions before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Maturity Date, the Holder will be entitled, upon providing written notice to the Corporation any time thereafter until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 22, 2001, to: (i) elect to make the entire principal amount of the Note become due and payable in cash or Underlying Shares; or (ii) deliver the Note to the Corporation for cancellation (upon which, no further shares in the capital of the Holder would be issuable to the Corporation). Provided that the Holder has not (i) elected to have the Note repaid in cash or (ii) returned the Note for cancellation, the Underlying Shares will be issuable on the earlier of the first business day following (i) the issuance of the Receipt by the Commissions and (ii) June 21, 2001. The Corporation has applied to list the Underlying Shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all the listing requirements of The Toronto Stock Exchange. RECENT SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS On January 19, 2001 the Corporation completed the acquisition of Digital4Sight, a digital consulting and research firm. The Corporation paid an aggregate purchase price of $23 million consisting of 47 million Common Shares of the Corporation valued at $15.8 million, $5.1 million of convertible notes and equity instruments and cash of $2.1 million. The convertible notes are convertible into common shares on the basis of Cdn.$0.56 per Common Share. 6 23 On February 19, 2001 the Corporation announced its intention to acquire NAME, an information technology developer and integrator. As at the date hereof the Corporation had acquired, by way of share exchange takeover bid on the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange, a total of 120,216,928 common shares of NAME or 92.2% of its outstanding common shares which have been exchanged for Common Shares based on an exchange ratio of 0.9155 Common Shares for each common share of NAME. The Corporation currently intends to acquire the remaining common shares of NAME pursuant to the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"). Holders of the remaining common shares of NAME must notify the Corporation by June 18, 2001 if they are requesting payment of the fair value for their common shares of NAME. In such event, an application may be made to a court to determine the form and amount of consideration to be paid for such shares. If no application is made to a court in accordance with the provisions of the OBCA by June 27, 2001, such dissenting shareholders will be required to accept 0.9155 Common Shares for each common share of NAME . On May 1, 2001 the Corporation acquired 100% of the equity of Shooting Gallery. Shooting Gallery is a privately-held company that provides a full range of traditional and digital services for the converging rich media marketplace. On closing of this transaction the Corporation issued 71 million Common Shares and assumed a $3 million non-interest bearing note due April 27, 2002. The 71 million Common Shares issued in connection with the acquisition are subject to custodial holding and lock-up agreements. Since October 2000, the Corporation has provided $14.9 million to Shooting Gallery for purposes of funding its current and future growth initiatives. Additionally, the Corporation has provided loan guarantees in the amount of $17 million of which $10 million (the "Film Loan") is secured by receivables with the remainder being secured by specific digital facility assets. Shooting Gallery is currently in breach of debt covenants in respect of the Film Loan. As a result, the Film Loan is currently payable on demand. The Corporation expects that Shooting Gallery will no longer be in breach of such debt covenants by the end of this year. On June 19, 2001, the Corporation announced that the financial situation at Shooting Gallery has deteriorated substantially, primarily as a result of deferrals of expected revenue-generating contracts and additional delays in the disposition of certain assets. Consequently, Shooting Gallery has become unable to service its debt obligations in an orderly manner, which has put increased pressure on itemus' financial resources and may likely inhibit itemus' ability to access capital, particularly in light of present market conditions. itemus is considering all options in regard to its Shooting Gallery investment, and expects to make a determination of its course of action in the near future. itemus' working capital resources have been strained by the cost of operating Shooting Gallery and technology market conditions. itemus also announced on June 19, 2001 that Albert Gnat and Dennis Wing, two members of itemus' board of directors, resigned. itemus expects to fill these vacancies shortly. Such vacancies must be filled with two outside directors for the board to be properly constituted in accordance with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act. As a result of these significant acquisitions the Corporation incurred a one time cash outflow of $11.1 million as described under "Risk Factors - Funding Risk". This, combined with the implemenation of the Corporation's current operating initiatives, the funding required for the integration of the acquired businesses and the assumption of liabilities of $55.2 million in connection with the acquisition of Shooting Gallery, result in an additional funding requirement prior to the end of the third quarter of 2001. itemus is engaged in discussions concerning opportunities for the raising of capital, but while the Corporation is hopeful that current negotiations will result in sufficient capital being made available, there is no guarantee of a successful outcome, particularly under current market conditions. See "Risk Factors -- Acquisitions" and "Risk Factors -- Funding Risk". 7 24 RISK FACTORS INTRODUCTION Investment in the securities offered hereunder should be considered to be highly speculative due to the nature of the business in which the Corporation is engaged and the Corporation's state of development. In evaluating the securities offered hereunder, prospective investors should consider the following factors and the other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision. FUNDING RISK Subsequent to March 31, 2001 the Corporation incurred significant one time cash outflows totalling $11.1 million. These relate to a one time restructuring charge of $3.5 million specifically relating to its Digital 4Sight and NAME acquisitions; a further $4 million of short-term funding to Shooting Gallery for operating costs resulting from the delay in sale of certain assets which has taken longer than initially anticipated and Datagistics Corporation also recently exercised its right to call on further investment from the Corporation, requiring $3.6 million to be paid prior to December 31, 2001 with the remainder of $3.8 million to be paid on or before December 31, 2002. As a result of these recent developments, the Corporation will require additional funding before the end of 2001. Although the Corporation is confident that adequate capital will be raised, there can be no assurances that financings and or asset sales can be completed on favourable terms. For the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Corporation will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Corporations ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve future profitability, absorb the operating costs of its newly acquired businesses and obtain necessary financing when required. There is no assurance the Corporation will be able to obtain the necessary financing required. BUSINESS RISK The Corporation's success depends greatly on increased use of the Internet for marketing, providing services, and conducting business. Commercial use of the Internet is currently at an early stage of development and the future of the Internet is not clear. Because a significant portion of the Corporation's investments relate to Internet-based software companies, its business could suffer if commercial use of the Internet fails to grow in the future. COMPETITION RISK The market for Internet products and services is highly competitive and lacks significant barriers to entry. Competition in the market may intensify in the future, which could affect the Corporation's ability to experience continued success in the marketplace, particularly if new competitors emerge with greater financial, technical, operational and marketing resources. TECHNOLOGY RISK Significant technological changes could render the existing technology or products and services of those companies in which the Corporation invests obsolete. The e-commerce market's growth and intense competition exacerbate these conditions. If these companies are unable to successfully respond to these developments or do not respond in a cost-effective way, the Corporation's business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected. 8 25 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY In many cases the companies the Corporation invests in will develop proprietary techniques, trademarks, processes and software. Although reasonable efforts will be taken to protect the rights to this intellectual property and to avoid infringement on the proprietary rights of others, the complexity of international trade secret, copyright, trademark and patent law, coupled with the limited resources of these young companies and the demands of quick delivery of products and services to market, create risks that their efforts will prove inadequate. This could potentially lead to litigation to protect the rights of the Corporation or investees or to defend claims that the investees or the Corporation have infringed the rights of third parties. GOVERNMENT AND REGULATORY RISK E-commerce is new and rapidly changing, and federal and provincial regulation relating to the Internet and e-commerce is evolving. Currently, there are few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, or e-commerce on, the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity of the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be enacted with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, taxation, content and quality of products and services. The adoption of such laws or regulations could reduce the rate of growth of the Internet, which could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business. INVESTMENT RISK The Corporation invests in early-stage companies that are subject to a number of risks, including uncertainty of markets, revenues, profitability, the ability to raise additional financing and volatility with regard to the market price and valuations of their securities. There can be no assurance that products or services of such companies will be developed successfully or on a timely basis, receive applicable regulatory approvals or patent protection or be capable of being produced or delivered in commercial quantities at reasonable cost and successfully marketed. Fluctuations in the market price and valuations of securities of portfolio companies may result in fluctuations of the market price of the Corporation's common stock and may reduce the amount of working capital available to it. LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk involves the risk that the Corporation may not be able to receive value for its positions should it choose to divest of all or some of its investments. For investee companies with publicly traded stock, the Corporation may be unable to sell its interest or any portion of its interest at the quoted market prices, or to sell any portion of such interest without materially adversely affecting the market price of such securities. Furthermore, for those investee companies that do not have publicly traded stock, the realizable value of the Corporation's interest may ultimately prove to be lower than the carrying value currently reflected in the Corporation's financial statements. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND INVESTMENTS An element of the Corporation's business plan may involve selling, in public or private offerings, the companies, or portions of the companies, that it has acquired and developed. Market and other conditions largely beyond the Corporation's control affect: - the Corporation's ability to engage in such sales; - the timing of such sales; and - the amount of proceeds from such sales. 9 26 As a result, the Corporation may not be able to sell some of these assets. In addition, even if the Corporation is able to sell, it may not be able to sell at favourable prices. If the Corporation is unable to sell these assets at favourable prices, its business will be harmed. OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES The Corporation's performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and other key employees. The familiarity of these individuals with the Internet industry makes them especially critical to the Corporation's success. In addition, the Corporation's success is dependent on its ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate high quality personnel, especially for its management team. Competition for such personnel is intense. The loss of the services of any of the Corporation's executive officers or key employees may harm its business. ACQUISITIONS The Corporation's strategy of expanding its business through acquisitions of other businesses and technologies presents special risks. The Corporation intends to continue to expand through the acquisition of and investment in businesses, technologies, products, and services from other businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of special problems, including: - ability to obtain adequate funding to achieve the current and long term initiatives of the operations - difficulty integrating acquired technologies, operations, and personnel with the existing business; - diversion of management attention in connection with both negotiating the acquisitions and integrating the assets; - strain on managerial and operational resources as management tries to oversee larger operations; - retention of key executive officers and other key employees critical to the success of the Corporation; - exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; - potential issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition which securities lessen the rights of holders of the Corporation's currently outstanding securities; the need to incur additional debt; and - the requirement to record additional future operating costs for the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets, which amounts could be significant. The Corporation may not be able to successfully address these problems. Moreover, the Corporation's future operating results will depend to a significant degree on its ability to successfully manage growth and integrate acquisitions. In addition, many of the Corporation's investments are in early-stage companies with limited operating histories and limited or no revenues. The Corporation may not be able to successfully locate acceptable acquisition targets, or if located, acquire such targets. 10 27 RAPID GROWTH The Corporation's rapid growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on its managerial, operational and financial resources. Further, as the number of the Corporation's investments and business partners grows, itemus will be required to manage multiple relationships with various strategic partners and other third parties. Further growth of the Corporation or an increase in the number of its strategic relationships will increase this strain on the Corporation's managerial, operational and financial resources, inhibiting the Corporation's ability to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully implement its business plan. LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY Evaluation of the Coporation's business will be more difficult because of its limited operating history as a technology operating and investment company. Until February 2000 the Corporation was primarily a mining company. Because the Corporation is in an early stage of development as a technology operating and investing corporation, its prospects are difficult to predict and may change rapidly. The Corporation's business strategy may not be successful, and it may not successfully address the risks, expenses and difficulties that it may encounter or incur as a company in a new and rapidly evolving market. FLUCTUATION IN QUARTERLY RESULTS The Corporation expects to experience significant fluctuation in future quarterly operating results. Many factors, some of which are beyond the Corporation's control, will likely contribute to these quarterly fluctuations. Such factors include: - the quarterly review of the Corporation's investments for the purposes of determining whether there has been a loss in value that is other than a temporary decline which may result in the reduction of the carrying value of such investments to their estimated realizable value; - payment of costs associated with the Corporation's acquisitions, sales of assets and investments; - timing of sales of assets; - market acceptance of new products and services; - specific economic conditions in the Internet and direct marketing industries; and - general economic conditions. The emerging nature of the commercial uses of the Internet makes predictions concerning the Corporation's future revenues difficult. itemus believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicative of the Corporation's future performance. It is also possible that in some fiscal quarters the Corporation's operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In such circumstances, the price of the Common Shares may decline. PRICE VOLATILITY The market price of the Common Shares has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, experiencing wide fluctuations. In recent years, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which have particularly impacted the market prices of equity securities of many companies providing Internet-related products and services. Some of these fluctuations appear to be unrelated or 11 28 disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. Future market movements may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares. LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters relating to the Offering will be passed upon for the Corporation by Fogler, Rubinoff LLP. AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The auditors of the Corporation are Deloitte & Touche LLP, 4 Bentall Centre, 2100-1055 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7X 1P4. The registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares is Computershare Trust Company of Canada at its principal offices in Vancouver and Toronto. PURCHASERS' STATUTORY RIGHTS Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, securities legislation further provides the purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. A purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser. 12 29 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ITEMUS INC.

16 33 ITEMUS INC. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Pro Forma Statements") combine the historical financial statements of itemus inc. ("itemus"), after giving effect to the acquisition of Digital 4Sight Corporation ("Digital 4Sight") as described in Note 2, with NAME Inc. ("NAME") as described in Note 3 and with Shooting Gallery Inc. ("Shooting Gallery") as described in Note 4. The Pro Forma Statements reflect assumptions and adjustments described in Notes 2, 3 and 4 and are based on the historical financial statements of itemus, Digital 4Sight, NAME and Shooting Gallery, which have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. These pro forma financial statements do not give affect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should any of the companies included in these pro forma financial statements be unable to continue as a going concern. The Pro Forma Statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Since the fiscal years of itemus, NAME and Digital 4Sight differ, the historical financial statements of NAME have been restated for the 2001 first quarter and 2000 fiscal year of itemus and are presented for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The historical financial statements of Digital 4Sight have been presented for the 12 months ended February 2, 2001. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Short Form Prospectus and the historical financial statements of itemus, Digital 4Sight, NAME and Shooting Gallery which are included herein or incorporated by reference elsewhere in the Short Form Prospectus.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. ACQUISITION OF DIGITAL 4SIGHT On January 19, 2001, itemus completed the acquisition of 100% of Digital 4Sight, a digital economy consulting and research firm. itemus paid an aggregate purchase price of $23 million consisting of 47,000,000 common shares of itemus valued at $15.8 million, $5.1 million of convertible notes and equity instruments and cash of $2.1 million. The notes are convertible into common shares of itemus on the basis of Cdn.$0.56 per common share. The itemus historical balance sheet as at March 31, 2001 and the historical statement of operations for the period from acquisition to March 31, 2001 include the acquisition and operations of Digital 4Sight. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 assumes the merger took place on January 1, 2000. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 reflect additional amortization expense resulting from the increase in goodwill and other intangible assets due to this acquisition. The goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, the assumed estimated useful life. 3. ACQUISITION OF NAME On March 30, 2001, itemus acquired by way of a share exchange takeover bid on the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange a total of 86.9 million common shares of NAME or 67%. These shares were exchanged for itemus common shares based on an exchange ratio of 0.9155 common shares of itemus for each common share of NAME. As at May 15, 2001, itemus has acquired 92.2% of the outstanding common shares of NAME and pursuant to its compulsory acquisition rights under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), intends to acquire 100% of NAME. The itemus pro forma condensed balance sheet as at March 31, 2001 and the itemus pro forma condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and year ended December 31, 2001, all assume 100% of NAME has been acquired. The itemus historical balance sheet as at March 31, 2001 includes the acquisition of NAME. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 assumes the merger took place on January 1, 2000. The pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 assumes the merger took place as of January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect an amended amortization expense resulting from the change in goodwill and other intangible assets arising from the acquisition. The goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, the assumed estimated useful life. 18 35 ITEMUS INC. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. ACQUISITION OF SHOOTING GALLERY On May 1, 2001, itemus completed the acquisition of 100% of Shooting Gallery, a privately-held company that provides a full range of traditional and digital services for the converging rich media marketplace. itemus paid an aggregate purchase price of $35.3 consisting of 71,000,000 common shares of itemus, the assumption of $3 million in non-interest bearing debt due April 27, 2002 and has provided a further $14.9 million for purposes of funding Shooting Gallery's current and future growth initiatives. Additionally, itemus has provided loan guarantees in the amount of $17 million of which $10 million is secured by receivables with the remainder being secured by specific digital facility assets. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the merger took place on March 31, 2001. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 assumes the merger took place on January 1, 2000. The pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 assumes the merger took place as of January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects the appropriate pro forma adjustments to record the acquisition of Shooting Gallery using the purchase method of accounting. Acquisition costs and the preliminary determination of the unallocated excess of acquisition costs over net assets acquired are set forth below: Estimated fair value of shares of itemus common stock issued $ 17,600,000 Discounted value of non-interest bearing note 2,800,000 Working capital advances 14,900,000 Estimated transaction costs 2,200,000 ------------ ACQUISITION COST $ 37,500,000 ============ Preliminary allocation to goodwill and other intangibles 58,700,000 Less: Estimated net tangible liabilities acquired $(21,200,000) ------------ $ 37,500,000 ============

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect additional amortization expense resulting from the increase in goodwill and other intangible assets due to this acquisition. The goodwill and other intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years, the assumed estimated useful life. In connection with finalizing the purchase price allocation of this transaction, itemus is currently evaluating the fair value of the consideration given and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Using this information, itemus will make a final allocation of the purchase price, including the allocation to goodwill and other intangibles. Accordingly, the purchase accounting information is preliminary. 19 36 AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of The Shooting Gallery, Inc.

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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

(the "Company") has a network of digital media centres located in New York, Toronto and Vancouver that offer services, resources and facilities to traditional and new media companies and is engaged in the development, production and distribution of feature films for theatrical, video and television distribution. The Company also provides post-production services, equipment and facilities rental, music supervision and product placement and clearance services to independent producers and major studios. Motion picture production is highly speculative and inherently risky. There can be no assurance of the economic success of such motion pictures since the revenue derived from the production (which does not necessarily bear a direct correlation to the production costs incurred) depends primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant operating losses in the last two years (year ended December 31, 2000 - $41,998,738; 1999 - $23,321,530) and as at March 31, 2001 has a deficiency of assets over liabilities of $40,156,105. These factors create uncertainty as to the continuing operations of the Corporation. These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 2. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2001 have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting, and the accounting policies used are consistent with the most recent annual financial statements. While these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. As the Corporation is a private company, interim financial statements have not previously been prepared. Consequently, the historical financial information is not available to prepare comparative information for the period ended March 31, 2000. 25 42 THE SHOOTING GALLERY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (INFORMATION AS AT AND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 IS UNAUDITED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the following significant accounting policies: (a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The amounts due to film fund investors, separately disclosed herein, reflects the non-Company owned investor interests in single film special purpose limited liability companies ("Investor Film LLCs") and the TSG Film Fund I, LLC, which are controlled by the Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with industry accounting principles, the Company has presented an unclassified consolidated balance sheet. (b) Revenue recognition The Company's revenues relating to services can be on a time and materials basis or a fixed fee basis. For fixed fee contracts, revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion basis, generally representing time spent relative to total estimated time. For contracts that are on a time and materials basis, revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts, if any, are recorded when identifiable. The Company's revenues relating to resources and facilities is recognized on a time and usage basis. Revenue from feature film distribution licensing agreements are recognized on the date the completed film is delivered or becomes available for delivery, is available for exploitation in the relevant media window purchased by the licensee and when certain other conditions of sale have been met. Revenue from television licensing is recognized when the feature film is available to the licensee for telecast. Producer fees received from production of films for outside parties where the Company has no continuing ownership interest in the project are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis as determined by applying the cost-to-cost method. The cost of such films is expensed as incurred. (c) Accounting for film property costs The Company capitalizes costs incurred to produce a feature film. Such costs include the actual direct costs of production, capitalized overhead and capitalized interest costs. These costs and estimated total costs of participation and distribution are charged to film amortization under the individual film forecast method in the ratio that current period revenue recognized bears to management's estimate of total gross revenue to be realized. Film property costs are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value on an individual film basis. Revenue and cost forecasts are reviewed periodically by management and revised when warranted by changing conditions. When estimates of total revenue and costs indicate that a feature film will result in an ultimate loss, additional amortization is recognized to the extent required to produce a zero gross margin over the remaining life of the film. The Company charges profit participation costs to expense in the same manner as amortization of production costs, if it is anticipated such amounts will be payable. Payments for profit participations are made in accordance with the participants' contractual agreements. 26 43 THE SHOOTING GALLERY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (INFORMATION AS AT AND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 IS UNAUDITED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) Property and equipment Property and equipment, at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 8 years. Leasehold assets are amortized under the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the related leases. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in income. The costs of normal maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. (e) Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. (f) Concentration of credit risk The Company licenses various rights in its feature films to distributors throughout the world. Generally, payment is received in full or in part, or letters of credit are obtained, prior to the Company's release of films to its distributors. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements if and when amounts become uncollectible. Accounts receivable is reported net of an allowance for credit losses. (g) Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3465, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of future income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Future income taxes are provided for using the liability method. Under the liability method, future income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities and for certain carry forward items Future income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment or substantive enactment. (h) Deferred rent Deferred rent is recorded and amortized to the extent the total minimum rental payments allocated to the current period on a straight-line basis exceed or are less than the cash payments required. 27 44 THE SHOOTING GALLERY, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (INFORMATION AS AT AND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 IS UNAUDITED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Use of estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Significant estimates are primarily related to ultimate revenue and ultimate costs relating to the Company's film projects. Management estimates ultimate revenue and costs for feature films for each market based on anticipated release patterns, public acceptance and historical results for similar products. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating future film revenue and distribution costs, it is more than reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. (j) Foreign exchange The Company's foreign operations are conducted through integrated subsidiaries and their financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the temporal method of foreign currency translation. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the period end. Non-monetary items are translated at rates in effect on the dates of the transactions. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates in effect during the period except for amortization, which is translated at the same rate as the assets to which it relates. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in earnings in the period in which they occurred. 4. FILM PROPERTY COSTS Film property costs consist of the following:

Based upon the Company's present estimates of anticipated future revenue at December 31, 2000, 100% (1999 - 100%) of the film costs related to released films will be amortized by December 31, 2003. 28 45 THE SHOOTING GALLERY, INC.

The loans mature March 9, 2002. 29 46 THE SHOOTING GALLERY, INC.

(iii) On February 15, 2001, the Company issued to a consortium of investors, unsecured promissory notes with a total face value of $4,000,000, maturing on February 15, 2004 and bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable annually. The principal amount of the notes, together with all accrued interest thereon, may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time without premium or penalty. The notes are guaranteed by itemus over their entire term. Attached to the notes is an option to acquire Shooting Gallery Entertainment, a division of the Company, for an exercise price of $8,000,000. In the event that the note holders exercise their option, the proceeds from the unsecured promissory notes will be used towards consideration of Shooting Gallery Entertainment. At which time, the notes will become void and itemus' guarantee will no longer be applicable. (iv) During 1998, the Company entered into two loan agreements with the New York City Investment fund for the purpose of renovating two buildings the Company leases under long-term lease agreements. Interest only is payable quarterly at 8% per annum. Commencing the first quarter of 2000, quarterly payments of $175,000 are due through maturity in 2003.

(v) During 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with HSBC (formerly Republic National Bank of New York) for a total commitment of $2,000,000 for the purpose of financing a portion of the costs of renovating a building.

INCOME TAXES As at December 31, 2000, the Company has approximately $50,000,000 in losses for tax purposes, which expire beginning in 2013.
