OVERVIEW GENERAL At August 31, 2003, we were engaged in the business of providing systems integration and interactive entertainment. Our business is conducted through our operating subsidiaries. At such date, we provided systems integration services through our Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. and Logicorp Services Group Ltd. subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Logicorp") and eTelligent Solutions Inc. ("eTelligent"); and interactive entertainment services through our NTN Interactive Network Inc. ("NTN") and GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc. ("GalaVu") subsidiaries. We sold GalaVu on April 25, 2003 and effective December 15, 2003 we sold certain assets and liabilities of NTN. We discontinued the operations in our merchant capital services subsidiaries comprised of Chell Merchant Capital Group ("CMCG") and Chell.com USA, during February 2001; CMCG was then used to acquire Logicorp in January 2002. We were incorporated on May 12, 1986 pursuant to the laws of the State of New York as TrioSearch, Inc. In June 1988, we changed our name to NTN Canada, Inc. In March 1998 we changed our name to Networks North Inc. and in September 2000, changed our name to Chell Group Corporation. Our headquarters and principal place of business is located at Suite 123 2340 Pegasus Way NE, Calgary, AB T2E.8M5. Our registered office is located at c/o Reitler Brown LLC, 800 Third Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, New York, 10022. Through August 31, 2001, our management employed an aggressive acquisition and disposition strategy. Through August 31, 2002, our management employed a strategy of building and maintaining our current operations. During the year ended August 31, 2003, our management employed a strategy of maintaining operations in our core business of system integration and divesting of operations that were not part of this segment. 1 In October 1996, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Magic Lantern Communications Ltd., an Ontario corporation, and its subsidiaries. In August 1997, we acquired through Magic Lantern certain business assets of Image Media Ltd. and 802117 Ontario Inc., operating as Pilot Software. Effective March 18, 2002, we sold all of the outstanding stock of Magic Lantern Communications Ltd. for Cdn$1.85 million in cash. As of June 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Interlynx Multimedia Inc., an Ontario corporation. Effective June 2001, we sold our interest in Interlynx for $50,000 cash and a $45,000 note. In September 1999, we acquired substantially all of the property and assets (excluding accounts receivable) of GalaVu Entertainment Inc., an Ontario corporation. In April 2003, we sold GalaVu for $170,000 and a note for $325,000. In September 2000, we acquired certain assets and the following shares from Chell.com, a corporation the sole stockholder and director of which is Cameron Chell, our former Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, and Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate purchase price of US$27,002,086: (a) 480,000 shares of cDemo which then represented approximately 14.3% of cDemo's issued and outstanding stock; (b) 875,000 shares of Engyro Inc. which then represented approximately 34% of Engyro's issued and outstanding stock; and (c) 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Chell.com (USA) Inc., a Nevada corporation. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions." Effective January 1, 2002, we acquired through CMCG all of the issued and outstanding shares of 123557 Alberta Ltd. and 591360 Alberta Ltd. which own 1/3 of the shares of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd., and Logicorp Service Group Ltd. respectively. The remaining 2/3 of the shares of Logicorp data Systems and Logicorp Service Group were acquired directly by CMCG. On March 18, 2002, we sold our educational video and media resources business, which was conducted through our Magic Lantern subsidiary and its subsidiaries. Effective December 15, 2003 we sold certain assets and liabilities of NTN to NTN Communications, Inc. ("NTN Communications"), an unaffiliated third party from which NTN licenses portions of its technology. The purchase price consisted of US$250,000 in cash, US$650,000 in stock of NTN Communications, and additional cash based on working capital at closing. The purchase price was offset by approximately US$700,000 owed by NTN to NTN Communications under this license agreement. We believe that the interactive entertainment industry does not represent the growth markets that we wish to develop. Until April 30, 2001, Chell.com USA was an operating company in the merchant services. Since then and thru August 31, 2002, we have not had any operations in merchant services. Engyro and cDemo were investment companies that were invested in under our merchant services segment. We have no further plans to develop these companies and as such are held as investments that were written down during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 to zero. Effective August 8, 2004, the Company's previously wholly-owned subsidiaries, , Logicorp Data Systems Inc., and Logicorp Service Group Inc. (together, "Logicorp") issued common shares to NewMarket Technologies, a publicly-traded company for $2.1 million USD, such that NewMarket holds 51% of the outstanding equity securities of Logicorp. In exchange for 51% of these subsidiaries, NewMarket will pay $1.1 million in cash and $1.0 million will be paid to Logicorp according to the terms of a $1.0 million, 24-month promissory note. BUSINESS SEGMENTS Systems Integration is an area of business in which our subsidiaries offer systems solutions to companies of various sizes. These solutions include the delivery and installation of computer hardware solutions; services to companies to aid in their business processes or infrastructures or customized solutions to enable smooth migration to advancing technologies growing technology with their organization. 2 Interactive Entertainment is an area of business that we have decided to divest ourselves of in order to focus our attention on the systems integration as is seen with the subsequent sales of GalaVu and NTN. This segment was viewed as an area of business in which we could use our technology to provide entertainment to the end user. This entertainment would allow for the interaction with other users or just for their own benefit. This segment has been discontinued by the sales of GalaVu and NTN. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE During the year ended August 31, 2003, we conducted our business through five material operating subsidiaries or subsidiary groups and three other companies in which we held investments. The following is a list of these subsidiaries or groups and investments, a designation of the business segments in which each then operated, and the percentage of our revenue attributable to such subsidiary or group of subsidiaries or investment: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE FOR THE YEAR ENDED WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES BUSINESS SEGMENT AUGUST 31, 2003 ================================================================================ Subsidiaries or Subsidiary Groups Actual Proforma(1) --------------------------------- ------ ----------- Logicorp Systems 93.8 73.5 Integration eTelligent Systems 6.2 4.9 Integration NTN (sold December 2003) Interactive 0.0 13.9 Entertainment GalaVu (sold April 2003) Interactive 0.0 7.7 Entertainment CMCG Merchant Services 0.0 0.0 Investment Companies -------------------- Engyro, Inc. (2) Other 0.0 0.0 cDemo Inc. (2) Other 0.0 0.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) The operations of NTN were sold on December 15, 2003. We sold GalaVu on April 25, 2003. We discontinued the operations of CMCG in February 2001. CMCG was then used to acquire Logicorp in January 2002. See Note 13 of consolidated financial statements for disclosures on business acquisitions (2) The percentage of ownership in these companies is less than 5% and the values have been written of in Fiscal 2001 We believe that we currently beneficially own less than 5.0% of the outstanding securities of Engyro and cDemo. As a result of our minority investment in such entities, future revenues, when and if realized, will not be included in our total revenues. We have no obligation to provide additional funding or support to such corporations and believe that such corporations are immaterial to our business.

NTN NTN Interactive Network. NTN Interactive Network subsidiary is engaged in the marketing and distribution of the NTN Entertainment Network services throughout Canada. These activities are being conducted through an exclusive license covering Canada granted to NTN Sports Inc., (predecessor to our NTN Interactive Network subsidiary) by NTN Communications, Inc. of Carlsbad, California, an unaffiliated corporation from which NTN licenses a portion of its technology ("NTN-US"). The license grants our NTN Interactive Network subsidiary the right to market the products and programs of NTN Communications, Inc. throughout Canada for a 25-year term ending December 31, 2015. NTN Communications, Inc. does not have an equity position in us or in our NTN Interactive Network subsidiary. Effective on December 15, 2003, we sold certain assets and liabilities of NTN to NTN-US. In exchange for this business and assets, NTN has agreed to pay US$1.5 million (Cdn$2.03 million), consisting of (i) US$650,000 (approximately Cdn$853,000) of unregistered common stock (approximately 238,000 shares) of NTN-US (NTN:AMEX) valued on the closing market price on the date of sale and (ii) US$250,000 (approximately Cdn$328,000) in cash at closing, less certain fees due from NTN to NTN-US, such amounts payable in three equal monthly payments. THE NTN ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK The NTN Entertainment Network is owned and operated by NTN-US and uses existing technology to broadcast two-way interactive live events to subscriber locations. The network provides digital data transmissions, which enable equipment and software at subscriber locations to display text and graphics programming and to interpret responses from network viewers. All programming is produced at and transmitted from the NTN-US broadcast center in Carlsbad, California. More than 3,600 restaurants, lounges, hotels, and other hospitality sites across North America have subscribed to these services and installed systems capable of receiving network broadcasts. These subscriber systems receive satellite transmissions containing updates to the network interactive programs, such that thousands of patrons at subscriber locations can interact with the same programs simultaneously. Our NTN subsidiary markets the network throughout Canada to the hospitality industry, installs the systems, and provides technical and marketing support to network sites. Over 400 group subscribers are located in Canada. Designed to be hardware independent, the network may be transmitted through a variety of techniques including, direct satellite, cable, gateway service, FM sideband, Internet, TV vertical blanking interval, and telephone. We currently use direct satellite as the method of transmission. NETWORK PROGRAMMING. The two-way interactive programming currently featured over the network includes a variety of interactive sports and trivia games permitting viewer interaction and participation for 16 hours each day. All present network programming is structured to provide time for national, regional and local advertisements, as well as for local inserts, which permit each subscriber to display announcements of promotional prices or other events at its business location. 6 NTN PLAY-ALONG GAMES. NTN Play-Along Games are played in conjunction with live, televised events. The prime NTN Play-Along Game is QB1, a game of football strategy. NTN PREMIUM TRIVIA GAMES. NTN Premium Trivia Games are promotion-oriented weekly game shows that usually require an hour of participation. Prizes are awarded to the top finishers. Games among all participating subscriber locations include the following: Showdown, a general knowledge game; Sports Trivia Challenge, a game focused on sports, and Spotlight, a game that quizzes players about the world of show business and celebrities; Playback, a music news, trivia, song title and musical topics game; and Sports IQ, a weekly sports trivia game. Half-hour interactive trivia games comprise the majority of the Network's programming. Countdown and Wipeout are trivia games designed for fast competitive play among participants at each subscriber location. INTERACTIVE EVENTS. Interactive Events is a customizable, hosted interactive trivia, polling or question event brought to the customer. An event can be created with a customer's logos, graphics and content and will be hosted by a real host to aid in increasing the enjoyment of the event. NTN INTERACTIVE NETWORK MARKET. Our NTN subsidiary positions the network to prospects and clients as a means of attracting patrons (to play the games), retaining their patronage (as they return to play again), and increasing the length of time patrons stay in their establishment. As the number of repeat customers and their length of stay increases, the hospitality establishment has an increased opportunity to sell additional food and beverage. Our NTN subsidiary's sales force targets the strongest hospitality outlets in Canada, including a number of chain accounts. Attractive rental packages are in place to support our NTN subsidiary's sales efforts. Our NTN subsidiary promotes the network as one of the best and technically advanced forms of on-premises advertising to this market, offering long-term repetitive exposure to a captive, attentive, and enthusiastic audience. Each end user receives the subscriber system, including the equipment and the proprietary software, from our NTN subsidiary. In most instances, the customer rents the equipment from our NTN subsidiary. Our NTN subsidiary, in turn, purchases equipment from several suppliers. Following installation, each end user pays a monthly fee to our NTN subsidiary for the network services. GALAVU ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK INC. Our GalaVu subsidiary (sold April 2003) is a technology-based entertainment provider of interactive in-room entertainment systems to hotels. At April 25, 2003, our GalaVu subsidiary was installed in over 200 Canadian hotels, primarily small and mid sized. GalaVu's interactive system is based on proprietary technology and provides a wide range of affordable, in-room entertainment packages. Marketed to guests under the "Round-the-Clock Entertainment" brand, GalaVu's suite of products include Hollywood movies on demand, premium television programming, and other information and entertainment services designed to enhance the stay of hotel guests while generating revenue for our GalaVu subsidiary and its hotel partners. Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 25, 2003, we sold to DVOD Networks Inc., an Ontario corporation ("DVOD"), all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of GalaVu for $1.00. Concurrently, we assigned to DVOD or caused our subsidiaries to assign to DVOD, for $2.00 promissory notes and other receivables of GalaVu in the aggregate amount of $1,672,608. In addition, 488605 Ontario Limited, a non-affiliated Canadian corporation ("488605") and an individual assigned a $375,000 note payable by GalaVu in return for $170,000. This amount was paid by DVOD to us and a new $325,000 note was issued to one of our subsidiaries. 7 CHELL MERCHANT CAPITAL GROUP CMCG was set up as a separate subsidiary to be in the business of researching, identifying and acquiring technology companies. CMCG's focus was to identify upcoming technology trends and create the effective infrastructure required to build out and support these trends. CMCG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. Our interests in our Logicorp subsidiaries are held through Chell Merchant Capital Group. ENGYRO Engyro is the surviving legal entity resulting from the merger of R Home Funding Co. Ltd., a Nevada corporation and its wholly owned Delaware subsidiary, Engyro, Inc. Its headquarters are located in Shelton, Connecticut. Engyro was a financial transaction engine designed to support the high demands created by rapid growth in the application service provider industry. We own less than 5.0% of the stock of Engyro and the remaining equity of the company is owned by private venture capitalists and Engyro's management. The direction and purpose of the company may now be very different from its original intent. We have written down our investment to zero as our ownership is less than 5%. CDEMO cDemo is a start up company that was incorporated in the State of Delaware in February 2000. We own less than 5.0% of the stock of cDemo and the remainder of the company's stock is distributed as follows: private venture capitalists; cDemo's management and employees, none of whom are affiliated with us. Allan Chell, the brother of Cameron Chell, our former Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, is a Director and principal shareholder of cDemo and its Vice-President of Strategic Development. cDemo plans to position itself as a trusted and unbiased electronic assessment tool and service. To perform a standardized electronic assessment and listing, cDemo has researched and developed an assessment methodology that is capable of "commoditizing" products, and displaying them in a format that is easy to both read and view. cDemo's unique consortium of technology partners are producing a technological system that we believe will be capable of tailoring the cDemo electronic assessment to industry and partner requirements. The assessment software will be loaded into a rugged, handheld tablet. cDemo plans to use this tablet device to collect and transmit an electronic demonstration based on an Internet connection to the cDemo backend database. GROWTH STRATEGY Our growth strategy primarily focuses around increasing the profitability in our operating companies through process development and technological advances to aid an organization in operating efficiencies. While at the same time searching for companies that will allow for us to increase our market share and our profitability or allow us the ability to offer unique technologies that our companies can sell and promote to our existing and potential new clients. COMPETITION The market for each of our business segments was at August 31, 2003 and remains rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Although we believe that each of our business segments is comprised of a large number of actual and potential competitors and that, other than our interactive entertainment business segment, the business segments in which we operate diverse segments of the interactive entertainment and venture capital services markets will provide opportunities for more than one supplier of products and services similar to ours, it is possible that a single supplier may dominate one or more market segments. Competitors include a wide variety of companies and organizations, including venture capitalists, interactive entertainment providers, Internet software, content, service and technology companies, telecommunication companies, cable companies and equipment/technology suppliers. Our NTN Interactive Network subsidiary operates in the interactive entertainment services industry. In 1996, we became aware of a new entertainment system, Sports Active, attempting to enter the hospitality market. Sports Active offers only two programs, a football game and a trivia game. With the entrance of motion picture, cable and TV companies, competition in the interactive entertainment and multimedia industries will likely intensify in the future. 8 GalaVu's competition includes other interactive in-room entertainment providers. With the development of new satellite technologies, and the increasing speed of network connections, GalaVu expects the competition to develop new services. These new services may include digital programming on demand, enhanced hotel concierge services, billing presentment and settlement, and others. GalaVu expects that new technologies will lead to intensifying competition in the future. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Our success is dependent upon software and other intellectual property from third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no one license is material to our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We must conduct our operations without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We also rely upon non-patented trade secrets and the know-how and expertise of our employees. To protect our licensed technology and other intellectual property, we rely primarily on a combination of the protections provided by applicable contract, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements. Although we believe that we have taken appropriate steps to protect our non-patented proprietary rights, including requiring that our employees and third parties who are granted access to our licensed technology enter into confidentiality agreements with us, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to protect our rights against third parties. Others may independently develop or otherwise acquire non-patented technologies or products similar or superior to ours. We license from third parties certain software and Internet tools that we include in our services and products. If any of these licenses were terminated, we could be required to seek licenses for similar software and Internet tools from other third parties or develop these tools internally. We may not be able to obtain such licenses or develop such tools in a timely fashion, on acceptable terms, or at all. Companies participating in the software and Internet technology industries are frequently involved in disputes relating to intellectual property. We may in the future be required to defend our intellectual property rights against infringement, duplication, discovery, and misappropriation by third parties or to defend against third-party claims of infringement. Likewise, disputes may arise in the future with respect to ownership of technology developed by employees who were previously employed by other companies. Any such litigation or disputes could result in substantial costs to, and a diversion of effort by, us. An adverse determination could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from, or pay royalties to, third parties, or require us to develop appropriate alternative technology. Some or all of these licenses may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternate technology at an acceptable price or at all. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. EMPLOYEES As of September 15, 2004 we employed 65 employees in the four operating subsidiaries, consisting of 3 executives, 3 general managers, 29 salespersons, 3 in marketing, 5 individuals involved in administration, 5 individuals involved in finance and accounting, 17 individuals involved in information services. We believe that our staff is adequate for our anticipated needs. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 25,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 14 Meteor Drive in Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 12,500 square foot, one story building. On December 19, 2003, we sold this land and building to an unrelated third party for approximately $730,000 and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $100,000. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 29,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 10 Meteor Drive, Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 14,000 square foot, two story building. We sold this land and building to an unrelated party on March 7, 2004 for approximately $710,000. The sale resulted in an approximate gain of $70,000. 9 The properties located at 10 & 14 Meteor Drive in Toronto, Ontario and 775 Pacific Road in Oakville had been financed through a mortgage, with the Bank of Montreal, dated April 24, 2002. The principal balance outstanding regarding these two properties, as at August 31, 2003 was Cdn$789,584. The property at 14 Meteor was sold December 19, 2003. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, GalaVu leased 8,619 square feet of office space in a building located at 3790 - 3820 Victoria Park Avenue, North York, Ontario, which lease expires on October 31, 2002 (CND$77,729 annually). GalaVu was sold April 25, 2003 and the Company no longer holds any obligation on these leases. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, Chell Merchant Capital Group leased 12,043 square feet of office space in Suites 301, 500 and 700 in a building located at 630 - 8th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1G6. The combined annual rent of the three suites was Cdn$199,000. Effective October 2002, we subleased this space to unaffiliated third parties upon the discontinuation of the operations of this subsidiary for Cdn$144,000 per annum. Commencing on December 15, 2003, we started utilizing interim space in Toronto, Ontario at nominal cost and there are no lease agreements in place for the use of the spaces. Logicorp leases approximately 17,502 square feet in Edmonton, 11,800 square feet in Calgary and approximately 4,500 square feet in Vancouver for approximately annual rent of $220,350, $115,640 and $62,300 respectively. The leases expire as follows: Edmonton - December 2006, Calgary - July 31, 2012, and Vancouver - March 31, 2007. We believe that our facilities and those of our subsidiaries are adequate for their present requirements. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Set forth below is a description of material pending litigation to which we are a party. NTN LITIGATION On June 18, 1992, Interactive Network Inc. (Interactive) commenced a lawsuit against us, NTN Communications and our NTN subsidiary in the Federal Court of Canada, Trial Division, Montreal, Quebec, under the title INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC. v. NTN COMMUNICATIONS, INC., NTN SPORTS, INC. AND NTN CANADA, INC. This action alleges that Interactive granted NTN Communications the right to use the Interactive Patent, which right Communications then improperly licensed to our NTN subsidiary and us. Interactive alleges that the license agreement between NTN Communications and our NTN subsidiary and us infringes upon the Interactive Patent. The action seeks a declaration of the validity of the Interactive Patent, an injunction restraining us from further infringement, and either damages (in an unspecified amount) or an accounting of profits derived from certain games used in Canada. Except for the aforementioned pleadings, no proceedings or discovery have been undertaken in this action. We believe that the licenses granted to us by NTN Communications are valid and that the patent infringement claims underlying this action will ultimately be proven to be unfounded. We intend to vigorously defend our position and to prosecute the Interactive position in the action; however, there can be no assurance that any or all of these actions will be decided in favor of us. We believe, based in part upon the advice of outside, independent counsel, that the costs of defending and prosecuting these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, NTN Communications stated that "[w]ith the courts [SIC] assistance, [Communications] and [Interactive] have been able to reach a resolution of all pending disputes in the United States and have agreed to private arbitration regarding any future licensing, copyright or infringement issues which may arise between the parties." The disputes referred to in the NTN Communications Form 10-Q involved litigation in the United States involving allegations similar to the allegations underlying the actions between Interactive and us. In the NTN Communication Form 10-Q, NTN Communications also noted that "no substantive action has been taken in the furtherance of" the Company Action or Interactive Action. 10 CANADA CUSTOMS AND REVENUE AGENCY LITIGATION Canada Customs and Revenue Agency is currently in discussions with us regarding a potential liability with respect to withholding tax on certain amounts paid to Communications. An assessment in the amount of approximately $550,000 has been made to date by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and we have filed a notice of objection. We believe that we have valid defenses with respect to these matters and accordingly, no amount has been recorded in the Company's financial statements. In the event that such matters are settled in favor of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, the amounts could be material and would be recorded in the period in which they become determinable. LOGICORP DATA SYSTEMS LITIGATION On January 27, 2003, a former President of Logicorp Data Systems filed a wrongful dismissal claim against Logicorp Data Systems and us. A round of examinations for discovery has been held and preparation of the affidavit of records is underway. Further discoveries were held during the week of September 8, 2003. Our counsel has determined that it is too early in the process to evaluate the merits of the case. We have not accrued any liabilities related to this claim as of August 31, 2003. We have filed a counter-suit stating that the former President was fraudulent in his representation to the Company. In June 2001, a former employee filed a wrongful dismissal claim against LDS. Subsequently the employee offered to settle for which LDS rejected. No further action has taken place since October 2001 and accordingly, LDS believes it will prevail and has not accrued liabilities on the accompanying financial statements related to this claim. CHELL MERCHANT CAPITAL GROUP LITIGATION In May 2002, a former consultant filed a claim against CMCG. The consultant claims that he is owed commissions, options and expenses related to his time working at Interlynx. The consultant has offered to settle for which CMCG has rejected. CMCG believes that firstly, it is not responsible for a lawsuit against Interlynx and secondly, that the consultants claims are unjustified. This lawsuit is scheduled for trial at the end of October, 2004. CMCG believes it will prevail and has not accrued liabilities on the accompanying financial statements related to this claim. 8% CONVERTIBLE NOTES On December 1, 2001, the Company offered to certain investors 8% convertible notes up to a maximum amount of US$ 8,000,000 in a private placement. The Company received approximately Cnd$6,587,622 through this offering. Under the terms of this offering, the notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a price of the greater of (1) 50% of the average closing bid prices for the ten trading days prior to conversion or (2) US$0.50. These notes were due August 9, 2002. On April 9, 2002 all of the holders of the notes signed commitments to voluntarily convert the notes based on the conversion price per the terms of the agreement, which was determined to be US$0.95 per share. This conversion was subject to shareholder approval. The conversion of these notes would have resulted in the issuance of approximately 4,389,000 shares representing approximately 20% of the total common shares outstanding after the issuance, and diluting the current common stockholders. As of August 31, 2003, none of these shares has been issued and the outstanding amount of the convertible notes was classified as liabilities. As of December 2, 2002, the Company, Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC ("JGUN"), the placement agent in this offering, and the holders of these notes entered into a settlement agreement providing that the conversion price for these notes shall equal 85% of the two day weighted average trading price of the common stock for the five trading days preceding effective date of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion, provided, that such conversion price cannot be greater than $0.75 or less than $0.40. Effective January 7, 2003, the Company, JGUN, Cameron Chell and the holders of the notes agreed that if this registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to September 1, 2003, the noteholders could "put" their shares of common stock to Mr. Chell at a 11 price of $0.475 per share during the period of December 1 - 14, 2003. At April 30, 2004, such registration statement has not been filed. By letter dated December 4, 2003, the noteholders agreed to permit the Company until February 28, 2004 to file all required filing and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to amend the period during which they may "put" their shares issuable upon such conversion to Mr. Chell from December 1- 14, 2003, to March 1 - 14, 2004, in exchange for the extension of the "put" period and the reduction of the conversion price to $0.25 per share, provided, that, if such deadline was not satisfied by the Company such agreement and reduction of the conversion price would be null and void. By letter, dated February 26, 2004, this deadline and the "put" period were amended to be April 30, 2004 and May 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. By letter, dated April 29, 2004, the Company requested that such deadline and "put" period be further amended to be May 30, 2004 and June 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. In the event that the notes should be converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price of $0.25 per share, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon such conversion would be approximately 16,640,000, representing approximately 54% of the common stock outstanding giving effect to such conversion. On June 11, 2004, the Company again requested that such deadline and "put" period be further extended to be August 10, 2004 and August 11-24, 2004, respectively. Effective September 14, 2004, the Company has asked for another extension to October 11, 2004. In addition, the Company proposed that the notes would be automatically converted on the earlier of (i) the date that all annual and quarterly reporting obligations under federal securities laws have been complied with or (ii) July 10, 2004. The conversion price of the notes has been further reduced from $0.25 per share to $0.16 per share. The aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon such conversion would be approximately 29,358,209, representing approximately 67.25% of the common stock outstanding giving effect to such conversion. One noteholder has indicated to the Company that it believes that it has a cause of action against the Company with respect to the foregoing and its rights under such notes, and has threatened to bring such action against the Company. In the event that the Company should be found to be in default of the notes or the related agreements, the Company may be required to repay the notes in the event that a settlement is not reached with the noteholders. In such event, the Company does not believe that it currently has the necessary capital available to repay the notes and would be required to seek additional sources of capital or seek protection from creditors. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources". Neither our property nor ourselves are a party or subject to any other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. To our knowledge no other proceedings of a material nature have been or are contemplated against us. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. None. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Our common stock, par value $.0467 per share (the "Common Stock"), was delisted from the over-the-counter market and was quoted on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market ("NASDAQ"), under the symbol "CHEL". It is now traded on the NASDAQ pink sheets under the symbol "CHEL.PK". Set forth below is the range of high and low bid prices (US$) for shares of Common Stock for each full quarterly period within our three most recent fiscal years and our quarter of the current year. The information reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-ups, markdowns or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. 12 -------------------------------------------------------------- HIGH LOW ---- --- (US$) (US$) ============================================================== 2001 FISCAL YEAR First Quarter 7.219 3.000 Second Quarter 4.813 1.813 Third Quarter 2.313 0.938 Fourth Quarter 1.600 0.870 2002 FISCAL YEAR First Quarter 1.310 0.510 Second Quarter 1.990 0.520 Third Quarter 2.250 1.190 Fourth Quarter 1.40 0.109 2003 FISCAL YEAR First Quarter 0.909 0.109 Second Quarter 0.209 0.019 Third Quarter 0.409 0.109 Fourth Quarter 0.499 0.001 2004 FISCAL YEAR First Quarter 0.259 0.001 Second Quarter 0.109 0.01 Third Quarter 0.059 0.001 Fourth Quarter 0.059 0.029 On September 14, 2004, the closing price of the Common Shares on NASDAQ pink sheets was US$0.08. As of September 14, 2004, we had 14,295,410 shares of common stock outstanding. As of the close of business on July 8, 2004, there were approximately 228 holders of record of our Common Stock. We believe that there are approximately 1,100 beneficial holders of Common Stock. We are informed and believe that as of July 21, 2004, Cede & Co. held 3,406,326 shares of our common stock as nominee for Depository Trust Company, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10004. It is our understanding that Cede & Co. and Depository Trust Company both disclaim any beneficial ownership therein and that such shares are held for the account of numerous other persons. Since its inception in 1986, we have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. However, we have, in the past, declared certain stock dividends and stock splits. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance operations and, therefore, do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. The following table sets forth a summary of selected financial information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries, consolidated, for each of the five fiscal years ended August 31, 2003.

(1) - See Note 17 to consolidated financial statements ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. INTRODUCTION RECENT EVENTS Effective August 8, 2004, the Company's previously wholly-owned subsidiaries, Logicorp Data Systems Inc., and Logicorp Service Group Inc. (together, "Logicorp") issued common shares to NewMarket Technologies ("NewMarket"), a publicly-traded company for $2.1 million USD, such that NewMarket holds 51% of the outstanding equity securities of Logicorp. In exchange for 51% of these subsidiaries, NewMarket will pay Logicorp $1.1 million in cash at closing. An additional $1.0 million will be paid to Logicorp according to the terms of a $1.0 million, 24-month promissory note. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds the remaining 49% of the outstanding shares of Logicorp. Twelve (12) months following the first anniversary of the purchase of the 51% interest, if Logicorp has achieved annual sales of at least $18,000,000 with at least a breakeven profit, Chell Group will have an option to require NewMarket to acquire the remaining 49% of the sellers remaining stock for a purchase price of $1,900,000 to be paid in NewMarket stock with piggyback registration rights. NewMarket will have an equal right to require the sale of Chell Group's remaining 49% stock position in Logicorp under the same performance conditions. CORPORATE BACKGROUND We are engaged in the business of providing interactive entertainment services and systems integration services. Our core businesses are the systems integration services provided by our Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. subsidiary and the interactive entertainment services provided by our NTN Interactive Network and GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc. subsidiaries. As of August 31, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of $22,191,579 and an accumulated deficit of $51,450,983. We generated revenues of $32,500,096 for the 2003 Fiscal Year and incurred a net loss of $7,541,502. In addition, during the 2003 Fiscal Year, net cash used in operating activities was $3,323,865. We are in a transitional stage of operations and, as a result, the relationships between revenue, cost of revenue, and operating expenses reflected in the financial information included in this annual file do not represent future expected financial relationships. Accordingly, we believe that, at our current stage of operations period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not meaningful. PLAN OF OPERATIONS Our business strategy is to divest ourselves of non-core operating and wind up all non-operating companies. While at the same time refocusing our energies in our core companies and bring these operations to profitable operations. Our core operations are the systems integration segment companies. We will be bringing our corporate entity current with all of its filings and will begin to petition for market status. While all the time looking for new opportunities that may arise in order to increase our value and profitability. 14 We expect our general and administrative costs to increase in future periods due to our operating as a public company whereby we will incur added costs for filing fees, increased professional services and insurance costs. The following is our selected statement of operations data by business segment for the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. ================================================================================ 2003 2002 2001 $ $ $ Restated ================================================================================ Revenue Systems Integration 32,500,096 34,205,614 -- Corporate -- 2,310 16,595 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32,500,096 34,207,924 16,595 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating loss Systems Integration (3,034,169) (1,162,568) -- Merchant Service -- -- (5,076,619) Corporate (2,709,541) (15,089,159) (3,115,758) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (5,743,710) (16,251,727) (8,192,377) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net loss attributable to common shareholders Systems Integration (3,659,647) (12,173,848) -- Merchant Service -- -- (6,524,427) Corporate (4,795,166) (16,698,965) (3,115,758) Discontinued Operations 913,311 (2,015,740) (2,107,454) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (7,541,502) (30,888,553) (11,747,639) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets Systems Integration 4,534,621 6,435,982 -- Merchant Service -- -- 1,589,465 Education -- -- 128,986 Corporate 1,793,349 2,810,773 3,170,689 Discontinued Operations 969,292 4,133,911 4,648,078 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7,297,262 13,380,666 9,537,218 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capital expenditures Systems Integration 275,104 127,737 -- Corporate 24,896 7,355 46,978 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 300,000 135,092 46,978 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depreciation & Amortization Systems Integration 573,186 425,692 -- Merchant Service -- -- 431,967 Corporate 470,762 601,550 162,836 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1,043,948 1,027,242 594,803 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest expense Systems Integration 625,479 182,209 -- Corporate 1,837,037 9,940,974 1,146,708 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2,462,516 10,123,183 1,146,708 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002 REVENUES. Revenues from product sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $30,321,968 compared to $32,468,400 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a decrease of $2,146,432 or 6.6%. For comparative purposes, Logicorp was purchased on January 1, 2002, thus we are comparing 12 months for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to 8 months for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Logicorp experience an overall decrease in sales. This decrease is attributed to a slumping technology market and decreased sales due to a reorganization in the sales force. 15 Revenues from service sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $2,178,128 compared to $1,739,524 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, an increase of $438,604 or 25.2%. For comparative purposes, Logicorp was purchased on January 1, 2002, thus we are comparing 12 months for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to 8 months for the 2002 Fiscal Year. In addition, eTelligent was purchased June 1, 2002 thus resulting in a full year of sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year as compared to 3 months worth of sales for the 2002 Fiscal Year. eTelligent's sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $1,136,206 compared to $473,553 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, an increase of $662,653. Logicorp experienced an overall decrease in service sales of $224,049. This decrease is attributed to a slumping technology market and decreased sales due to a reorganization in the sales force. As a result of the foregoing, our total revenues in the aggregate were $32,500,096 for the 2003 Fiscal Year, compared to $34,207,924 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a decrease of $1,707,828. The decrease is due to a slumping technology market and a decreased sales staff. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues from product sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year was $28,088,752 compared to $30,725,499, a decrease of $2,636,747 or 8.6%. This decrease is the result of decreasing comparative sales and a change in sales mix to higher margin products Cost of revenue from service sales for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $291,496, compared to $594,488 for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The decrease is attributable to increases in the sales of services, offset by decreasing the costs associated with the sales department. As a result of the foregoing, our total cost of revenues for continuing operations was $28,380,248 for the 2003 Fiscal Year, compared to $31,319,987 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a decrease of $2,939,739 or 9.4%. The decrease is the result of decreasing sales from the weak technology market. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $4,119,848 for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to $2,887,937 for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The increase is attributable to having Logicorp and eTelligent for a full fiscal year in the 2003 Fiscal Year. EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $8,656,468, compared to $7,622,873 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, an increase of $1,033,595 or 13.6%. Due to having Logicorp and eTelligent for a full fiscal year, there was in increase of $3,143,406. The major items offsetting the increase were; no cost associated with the acquisition and financing raises in the 2003 Fiscal Year when compared to approximately $2,600,000 in the 2002 Fiscal Year; decreased costs associated with the closing on CMCG in the 2002 Fiscal year of $528,711 and decreased legal and accounting fees of $717,860. As a percentage of our total revenues, such costs increased to 26.6% for the 2003 Fiscal Year from 22.3% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Write-off on leasehold improvements for the 2003 Fiscal Year was $163,142 compared to $nil for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Since the Company was not occupying the space leased by CMCG, it was determined that the value of the leaseholds needed to written off to represent the PV of rent received from the sublease. Depreciation and amortization for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $1,043,948, compared to $1,027,242 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, an increase of $16,706 or 1.6%.. As a percentage of our total revenues, such costs increased to 3.2% for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to 3.0% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Loss from the impairment of goodwill for the 2003 Fiscal Year was nil compared to $10,489,549 for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The costs for the 2002 Fiscal Year arose from the impairment of our subsidiaries in the Logicorp Group of Companies. Loss from operations for the 2003 Fiscal Year was $5,743,710 compared to $16,251,727 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a decrease of $10,508,017 or 64.7%. This decrease was caused primarily by no impairment of goodwill for the 2003 Fiscal Year ($10,489,549 for the 2002 Fiscal Year) and an increase in gross profit ($1,231,911 for the 2003 Fiscal Year) associated with having Logicorp and eTelligent for a full fiscal year. 16 Loss on extinguishment of debt was nil for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to $521,120 for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The 2002 Fiscal Year loss resulted from a beneficial conversion and interest expense was calculated as of the date of the agreement to convert the notes to common shares, as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the notes are convertible. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt and corresponding additional paid in capital and the balance of this debt has been retired. Interest expense for the 2003 Fiscal Year were $2,462,516, compared to $10,123,183 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a decrease of $7,660,667 or 75.7%. The decrease was primarily the result of not having the interest costs of beneficial conversion features ($6,283,881) and interest costs associated with the financing raises ($1,909,011)for the 2003 Fiscal Year. As a percentage of our total revenues, such costs decreased to 7.6% for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to 29.6% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Loss on disposals of investments/property were $248,587 for the 2003 Fiscal Year compared to $1,838,140 for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The costs arose from the loss from the sale of one of the properties. In the 2002 Fiscal Year the loss arose from the writing down the deposit on Applicationstation.com. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, such costs were 5.4% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. NET INCOME/LOSS. As a result of all of the above, the Company's net loss for the 2003 Fiscal Year was $7,541,502 (which includes $913,311 of gains from discontinued operations) compared to net loss of $30,751,537 (which includes $2,015,740 of losses from discontinued operations) for the 2002 Fiscal Year, a change of $23,210,035. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The Company sold GalaVu on April 25, 2003 and Interactive on December 15, 2003 (see Note 4 of financial statements for further discussion). Accordingly, the Company is following the guidance in SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The operations of GalaVu, Interactive and Magic are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2001 REVENUES. Revenues from product sales for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $32,468,400. As Logicorp was purchased in the 2002 Fiscal Year there is no comparison for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2001 (the "2001 Fiscal Year"). Revenues from service sales for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $1,739,524. As Logicorp was purchased in the 2002 Fiscal Year there is no comparison. Other revenues were nil, compared to $16,595 for the 2001 Fiscal Year. Other revenue composed of income derived from securities held. Since there are no longer such investments, there was a decrease. As a result of the foregoing, our total revenues in the aggregate were $34,207,924 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, compared to $16,595 for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $34,191,329. The increase is due to the purchase of the Logicorp entities. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues from product sales for the 2002 Fiscal Year was $30,725,499. As Logicorp was purchased in the 2002 Fiscal Year there is no comparison for our 2001 Fiscal Year. Cost of revenues from service sales for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $594,488. As Logicorp was purchased in the 2002 Fiscal Year there is no comparison. As a result of the foregoing, our total cost of revenues for continuing operations was $31,319,987 for the 2002 Fiscal Year, compared to $nil for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $31,319,987 or 100%. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $2,887,937 for the 2002 Fiscal Year compared to $16,595 for the 2001 Fiscal Year. As Logicorp was purchased in the 2002 Fiscal Year there is no comparison for our 2001 Fiscal Year. 17 EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $7,622,873 compared to $7,258,609 for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $364,264 or 5.0%. Of this, there were increases to legal and accounting fees of $1,324,433, offset by decreasing operating costs of CMCG. These increased due to the acquisition and the financing raises. Depreciation and amortization for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $1,027,242, compared to $594,803 for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $432,439 or 72.7%. This increase is the result of $425,692 of additional depreciation resulting from the addition of Logicorp and eTelligent. As a percentage of our total revenues, such costs decreased to 3.0% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Loss from the impairment of goodwill for the 2002 Fiscal Year was $10,489,549 compared to nil for the 2001 Fiscal Year. The costs arose from the impairment of our subsidiaries in the Logicorp Group of Companies. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, such costs were 30.7% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Loss from operations for the 2002 Fiscal Year was $16,251,727 compared to $8,192,377 for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $8,059,350 or 98.4%. This increase was caused primarily by the impairment of goodwill of $10,489,549. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $521,120 for the 2002 Fiscal Year with no comparison for the 2001 Fiscal Year. A beneficial conversion and interest expense was calculated as of the date of the agreement to convert the notes to common shares, as the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which the notes are convertible. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt and corresponding additional paid in capital and the balance of this debt has been retired. Interest expense for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $10,123,183, compared to $1,146,708 for the 2001 Fiscal Year, an increase of $8,976,475 or 782.8%. The increase was primarily the result of the interest costs of beneficial conversion features ($6,283,881), interest costs associated with the financing raises ($1,909,011), the amortization of the discount on debt ($589,981), increased debt levels and the addition of Logicorp ($193,602). As a percentage of our total revenues, such costs increased to 29.5% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. Loss on write-down of investments for the 2002 Fiscal Year were $1,838,140 compared to nil for the 2001 Fiscal Year. The costs arose from writing off the investment in Wareforce and the deposit on Applicationstation.com. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, such costs were 5.4% for the 2002 Fiscal Year. The financing costs, write-down on investments and the loss on sale of subsidiaries are one-time in nature and we don't view them as occurring until similar transactions happen. NET INCOME/LOSS. As a result of all of the above, the Company's net loss for the 2002 Fiscal Year was $30,751,537 (which includes 2,015,740 of losses from discontinued operations) compared to net loss of $11,747,639 (which includes 2,107,454 of losses from discontinued operations) for the 2001 Fiscal Year, a change of $19,003,898. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The Company sold GalaVu on April 25, 2003, Interactive on December 15, 2003 and Magic on March 18, 2002 (see Note 4 of financial statements for further discussion). Accordingly, the Company is following the guidance in SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The operations of GalaVu, Interactive and Magic are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operations, sale of subsidiaries, capital raises, issuance of short-term notes payable and credit terms from suppliers and subcontractors. Our principal uses of cash have been for operations and working capital. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our principal uses of cash in the future. 18 At the 2003 Fiscal Year end, we had the requisite working capital to fund our ongoing business operations based upon the losses that had been incurred during the previous two fiscal years. In addition, our business plan for 2004 contemplates obtaining additional working capital through refinancings or restructurings of our existing loan agreements, and the possible sale of some of our existing subsidiaries. Our management is of the opinion that they will be able to obtain enough working capital and that together with funds provided by operations, there will be sufficient working capital for the Company's requirements. We may require additional financing in order to implement our business plan. We currently anticipate capital expenditures of at least $150,000 during the next 12 months for the replacement of older capital assets. If the anticipated cash generated by our operations are insufficient to fund requirements and losses, we will need to obtain additional funds through third party financing in the form of equity, debt or bank financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. If additional capital is not raised, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. As a result of a financing involving equity, the holders of our common stock may experience substantial dilution. In addition, as our results may be negatively impacted and thus delayed as a result of political and economic factors beyond our control, our capital requirements may increase. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those indicated in the above forward-looking statements: pricing pressures in the industry; the loss of any of our major customers; a continued downturn in the economy in general or in the interactive entertainment sector; a further decrease in demand for our products or continued weak demand for these products; our ability to attract new customers; our ability to reduce costs; an increase in competition in the market for interactive entertainment; and the ability of some of our new customers to obtain financing. These factors or additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may impair business operations and may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform them to actual results or to make changes in our expectations. We have listed below the details of all the debt and borrowings the company has. In March 2001, LDS entered into a line of credit agreement with HSBC Bank of Canada. Bank advances are payable on demand. The loan agreement covers (i) a demand revolving operating loan up to $3,700,000; (ii) equipment loan up to $300,000; (iii) demand Evergreen Capital loan/lease facility up to $300,000; and (iv) loan on forward exchange contracts up to $500,000. The operating loan carries an interest rate of 0.82% over the prime rate while the equipment and Evergreen Capital loans carry an interest rate equal to, at the option of the Company, (a) 1.05% over the prime rate at the end of each month; or (b) a fixed rate agreed to by both the Bank and the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can borrow, under the operating loan and 31% of the forward exchange contracts outstanding, up to an aggregate of (i) 70% of acceptable accounts receivable and (ii) 50% of the lesser of cost or current market value of its inventory not to exceed $750,000. The effective rate at August 31, 2003 was 4.32%. Borrowings under the line are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on additional indebtedness and other related items. As of August 31, 2003, the Company is in violation of maximum debt to net worth and minimum working capital covenants. The loans are secured by the assets of the Company under a general security agreement, and are guaranteed by the Logicorp Service Group Ltd., through a security agreement and are also personally guaranteed by the former shareholders of LDS. Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the bank may declare all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. The Bank has not called the loan. A forbearance agreement was signed that expired in October 2003. The Company has signed a new forbearance agreement that will extend to October 31, 2004 and anticipates signing a longer forbearance before the end of October 31, 2004. On January 22, 2002, Mr. Chell guaranteed liabilities of Logicorp to its principal lender, HSBC, in the amount of Cdn$1.0 million. On December 24, 2002, Mr. Chell guaranteed trade credit of Logicorp to Synnex in the amount of approximately Cdn. $1.0 million. On January 7, 2003, the board determined that the Company would grant 3.5 million shares (actual issuance of shares occurred in Fiscal 2004) of common stock to Mr. Chell 19 for such guarantees and other consideration in support of the Company. The valuation on the shares was determined by the 10 day preceding trading average of the Company's common stock, which resulted in an approximate $134,000 US$ compensation expense recorded in Fiscal 2003. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a description of the loans. The bank line of credit consists of debts from the following entities: ----------------------------------------------------------- Company 2003 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------- Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. ("LDS") 908,432 603,740 eTelligent Solutions Inc. 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- 908,432 603,740 =========================================================== On December 1, 2001, the Company offered to certain investors 8% convertible notes up to a maximum amount of US$ 8,000,000 in a private placement. The Company received approximately Cnd$6,587,622 through this offering. Under the terms of this offering, the notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a price of the greater of (1) 50% of the average closing bid prices for the ten trading days prior to conversion or (2) US$0.50. These notes were due August 9, 2002. On April 9, 2002 all of the holders of the notes signed commitments to voluntarily convert the notes based on the conversion price per the terms of the agreement, which was determined to be US$0.95 per share. This conversion was subject to shareholder approval. The conversion of these notes would have resulted in the issuance of approximately 4,389,000 shares representing approximately 20% of the total common shares outstanding after the issuance, and diluting the current common stockholders. As of August 31, 2003, none of these shares has been issued and the outstanding amount of the convertible notes was classified as liabilities. As of December 2, 2002, the Company, Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC ("JGUN"), the placement agent in this offering, and the holders of these notes entered into a settlement agreement providing that the conversion price for these notes shall equal 85% of the two day weighted average trading price of the common stock for the five trading days preceding effective date of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion, provided, that such conversion price cannot be greater than $0.75 or less than $0.40. Effective January 7, 2003, the Company, JGUN, Cameron Chell and the holders of the notes agreed that if this registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to September 1, 2003, the noteholders could "put" their shares of common stock to Mr. Chell at a price of $0.475 per share during the period of December 1 - 14, 2003. By letter dated December 4, 2003, the noteholders agreed to permit the Company until February 28, 2004 to file all required filing and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to amend the period during which they may "put" their shares issuable upon such conversion to Mr. Chell from December 1--14, 2003, to March 1 - 14, 2004, in exchange for the extension of the "put" period and the reduction of the conversion price to $0.25 per share, provided, that, if such deadline was not satisfied by the Company such agreement and reduction of the conversion price would be null and void. By letter, dated February 26, 2004, this deadline and the "put" period were amended to be April 30, 2004 and May 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. By letter, dated April 29, 2004, the Company requested that such deadline and "put" period be further amended to be May 30, 2004 and June 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. The Company believes that, as these notes have been held by the noteholders for an excess of two years, and none of such noteholders are or have been affiliates of the Company during the preceding 90 days, the notes may be converted at any time and the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion could be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k), and, provided that the Company files all filings and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act prior to May 31, 2004, these notes shall be mandatorily converted into shares of common stock. On June 11, 2004, the Company again requested that such deadline and "put" period be further extended to be August 10, 2004 and August 11-24, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company proposed that the notes would be automatically converted on the earlier of (i) the date that all annual and quarterly reporting obligations under federal securities laws have been complied with or (ii) July 10, 2004. The conversion price of the notes has been further reduced from $0.25 per share to $0.16 per share. The aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon such conversion (principal and unpaid accrued interest thru July 11, 2004 [date of new conversion agreement]) would be approximately 29,358,209, representing approximately 67.25% of the common stock outstanding giving effect to such conversion (based upon 14,295,410 shares outstanding at time of filing the August 31, 2003 Form 10-K) . On August 10, 2004, the Company requested such deadline and "put" period be further extended to be September 10, 2004 and September 11-24, 2004, respectively. Effective September 14, 2004, the Company has asked for another extension to October 11, 2004. One noteholder has indicated to the Company that it believes that it has a cause of action against the Company with respect to the foregoing and its rights under such notes, and 20 has threatened to bring such action against the Company. In the event that the Company should be found to be in default of the notes or the related agreements, the Company may be required to repay the notes in the event that a settlement is not reached with the noteholders. In such event the Company does not believe that it currently has the necessary capital available to repay the notes and would be required to seek additional sources of capital or seek protection from creditors. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources". In addition, since this debt is convertible into equity at the option of the note holder at beneficial conversion rates, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt in accordance with EITF 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments." Total cost of beneficial conversion feature of Canadian $6,177,647 is recorded as a discount of the convertible debt which was fully amortized during the year ended August 31, 2002. On October 3, 2000, the Company closed the sale of a US$3,000,000 (approximately Canadian $4,740,000) Convertible 10% Debenture to the VC Advantage Limited Partnership ("VCALP"). As at August 31, 2001, US$1,700,000 (approximately Canadian $2,635,000) has been advanced to the Company. This unsecured convertible debenture is due three years from issue. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at 10% per annum, payable upon conversion, redemption or maturity. The unpaid principal of the debenture bears interest from the date that it is actually advanced until paid. Interest is payable in cash or stock at our option. The Convertible Debenture is convertible into common stock, at US$3.00 per share, in amounts specified by the VCALP. The maximum number of common shares VCALP will receive is one million. On the close date, the Company also issued 50,000 warrants to purchase 50,000 common shares at US$3.00 per share to VCALP. The warrants have a term of four years. The fair value of these warrants totaling approximately $220,000 was computed using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 1/2 years; (2) volatility of 80% (3) risk free interest of 5.87% and (4) dividend of 0%. The Company can elect to pay the outstanding loan balance in shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of US$3.00 per share. In addition, since this debt is convertible into equity at the option of the note holder at beneficial conversion rates, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt in accordance with EITF 00-27. Total cost of beneficial conversion feature of $1,728,134 and the relative fair value of the warrants of $220,000 are recorded as a discount of the convertible debentures. During the year ended August 31, 2001, the Company amortized $563,367 as interest expense. On November 30, 2000 the convertible debenture was assigned by VCALP to CALP II Limited Partnership. During the 2002 Third Fiscal Quarter, the convertible debenture held by CALP II Limited Partnership ("CALP II") on behalf of Canadian Advantage Limited Partnership ("CALP") and Advantage (Bermuda) Fund Ltd. ("ABFL") was exchanged for a note payable to CALP in the amount of US$1,365,100 and a note payable to ABFL in the amount of US$504,900. These notes provide for payment of principal and interest at the rate of 10% per annum on August 31, 2006. The notes are secured by a general security agreement against the assets of the Company in priority to all other claims subject to the existing security of the Bank of Montreal and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"). Effective April 15, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with CALP to convert the principal amount of the note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the rate of US$0.80 pursuant to which CALP received 1,314,000 shares of the Company. CALP will receive an additional 442,145 shares upon the approval of the Company's shareholders. Effective April 15, 2002, the Company also entered into an agreement with ABFL to convert the principal amount of the note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the rate of US$0.80 pursuant to which ABFL received 486,000 shares of the Company. ABFL will receive an additional 163,533 shares upon the approval of the Company's shareholders. Certain terms of the convertible debt have been changed including the fixed conversion price reduced from $3 to $0.80. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company recorded additional discount of $677,216 and amortized $787,294. During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company recorded additional discount of $0 and amortized $1,000,504. As of August 31, 2003, outstanding balance of this debt net of unamortized discount of $154,424 totaled $2,201,166. As of August 31, 2002, outstanding balance of this debt net of unamortized discount of $1,154,928 totaled $1,360,311. 21 The conversion of the debt has been approved and the debt will be converted from debt to equity upon the filling of the registration statement and issuance of the shares. This convertible debt matured in October 2003, however CALP and ABFL were managed by Thomas Kerrnighan ("TK"), which has declared bankruptcy. The Company has been unable to locate the trustee or obtain contact from any former employee of TK. The debt will remain on the Company's books indefinitely until a settlement can be reached. LDS agreed to pay $212,291 payable to HP in regards to the settlement of claims with a discount of $53,073. The loan is payable in monthly installments of $4,423 due on the first day of every month, commencing on May 1, 2003 through April 2007 carrying an interest rate of 0%. This liability has been recorded at its full settlement value since calculation of imputed interest is considered immaterial to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Term loan is comprised of the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Company 2003 2002 ================================================================ Current Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. [a] -- 79,716 Etelligent Solutions Inc. [b] 1,470 49,278 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1,470 128,994 Non-current Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. [a] -- 152,790 Etelligent Solutions Inc. [b] -- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- 281,784 ================================================================ [a] Loan bearing interest at Prime plus 1.25% per annum, repayable in monthly principal installments of $6,643 together with interest. Loan is due July 31, 2005. Approximate principal repayments are as follows 2003 -$79,716, 2004-$79,716 and 2005-$73,074. Logicorp accelerated the payments in 2004. [b] Small Business Equipment Loans bearing interest at Prime plus 2.25% per annum. In November 2001, the Bank of Montreal made available to the Company a Demand loan, non-revolving and/or Fixed Rate Term Loan in the amount of $1,250,000. The loan was for payment of the Matched Fund Term Loan held in the prior year by The Royal Bank of Canada for properties at 10 Meteor Drive and 775 Pacific Road. Borrowings are repayable by blended monthly principal payments of $10,417 and interest based on 10-year term which matures in December 2011. Interest is currently calculated at Prime Rate plus 1.25%. The effective rate at August 31, 2003 was 4.06% (August 2002 - 5.75%). The principal remaining as of August 31, 2003 was $789,583 (August 2002 - $1,166,667). The Company may convert the Demand loan, non-revolving advances in part or in total to a Fixed Rate Term Loan advances, and may be converted back to Demand loan, non-revolving at maturity of terms. Fixed Rate Term Loan rates are to be determined based on applicable rates at time of draw and the available terms are from 1 to 5 years. The loan is secured by accounts receivables, inventory and equipment of Interactive and GalaVu under a general security agreement. The Demand loan is subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on additional indebtedness and other related items. On November 21, 2002, pursuant to a Debt and Security Purchase Agreement dated on the 29th day of October, 2002, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, GalaVu, settled the promissory note (the "Note") issued from the acquisition of substantially all of the property and assets [excluding accounts receivable] of GalaVu. The present value of the Note, discounted at the Company's average borrowing rate (6.5%) amounted to $2,662,698. Arthur Andersen Inc., (the "Assignor") agreed to assign to the Company all of the Assignor's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Note for the amount of $500,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The purchase price was paid in the following manner: A $150,000 deposit was made upon execution of the agreement and $350,000 was paid at the time of closing. 22 Loan amount $3,300,000 Discount (637,302) -------------------------------------- Discounted loan $2,662,698 Payment (500,000) Amortization of discount 390,724 -------------------------------------- Loan at time of settlement $2,533,422 Payment for settlement (500,000) Legal Fees 17,793 -------------------------------------- Gain on settlement of debt $2,051,215 ====================================== The $350,000 paid at the time of closing to the Assignor, was financed through a term loan in the principal sum of $375,000. The loan was secured through a second mortgage on our 10 and 14 Meteor Drive properties and a general security agreement on the capital assets of GalaVu. This debt was settled with the sale of GalaVu; the $375,000 debt was repaid and then re-issued to Chell Group Corporation in the amount of $325,000. The $325,000 bears interest at a rate of 13% and matures on November 25, 2003 and the monthly payments are for interest only. The loan was extended in November 2003, to a maturity date of December 15, 2003. The loan was repaid with the proceeds from the sale of 14 Meteor Drive (see note 6). In May 2002, we completed a private equity raise for $443,189 Cdn ($290,000 US). The shares were priced at a $1, thus resulting in 290,000 shares to be issued. At the end of the August 2002, the Company had not yet issued the shares and thus a loan payable was created until the time at which the Company would issue the shares. The Company issued the share on October 18, 2002 and the loan has been decreased by the corresponding share capital entries required. In December 2002, the three former shareholders of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. and Logicorp Service Group Ltd. advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $200,000 each, totaling $600,000. These advances were due on demand and did not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on these advances at a rate of 9%. During the year ended August 31, 2003, one of the advances was fully repaid and total payments of approximately $110,000 have been paid against the remaining advances. The retirement compensation trusts ("RCA's") were set up pursuant to section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act of Canada to provide retirement income to the three individuals who owned Logicorp. Pursuant to the original and amended purchase agreements of Logicorp, the Company will make monthly payments including interest in various amounts through December 2005. The loan carries an interest rate of prime plus 4.75% (8.0% at August 31, 2003, 8.75% at August 31, 2002). The original repayment terms have not been met, but the determination of breach lies with the individual trustees appointed to monitor each individual's loan to the Company. The trustee of the former LDS President has demanded full payment and is part of the lawsuit (Note 12). The trustee for the other former Logicorp owners are accepting of the current payment terms of $9,750, which repay the principal and interest components of personal loans that each party had taken to finance their loans to the Company. No lump sum payments have been made on the RCA's and no further agreements have been made for a lump sum payment. Through our bank we currently make cash payments monthly to offset interest and payment incurred on the primaries loans for the money they loaned back to Logicorp. This constitutes the repayments we make against the RCA's. The RCA's then increase by the interest component the primaries charge us for the loans. 1) During the year ended August 31, 2003, B.O.T.B., a company controlled by Cameron Chell, advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $820,000, and during the period of September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004, advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $318,144. The advances are unsecured, due on demand and do not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on the advances at a rate of 9% per annum. As of August 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of such advances was $1,138,144. 23 2) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company began negotiations to adjust the purchase price of Logicorp due to an investigation of claims filed by Logicorp owed by Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd. ("HP"). As a result, the purchase price for Logicorp has been amended, the issuance of exchangeable common shares has been decreased by 2,000,000 to 3,355,000 (from 5,355,000 originally) and the second promissory note of $500,000 has been cancelled. This has resulted in a balance of $200,000 still owed which is classified as a loan payable, related party on the August 31, 2003 and 2002 balance sheet. In addition, a historical audit of Logicorp resulted in significant restatement issues which resulted in combined negative book values of ($2,074,567) as of December 31, 2001 (the date immediately prior to acquisition date). The purchase price has been adjusted for these events (see Note 13). The loan remains outstanding as the loan and the shares issued to a former President of LDS are subject to a suit and countersuit regarding the former President of LDS. The loan bears no interest and interest is not being accrued as the company does not view the loan as owed. Interest charges, if any, are pending the settlement of the lawsuit. On January 27, 2003, a former President of LDS, filed a wrongful dismissal claim against LDS and the Company. A round of examinations for discovery has been held and preparation of the affidavit of records is underway. Further discoveries were held during the week of September 8, 2003. The Company's counsel has determined that it is too early in the process to evaluate the merits of the case. The Company has not accrued any liabilities related to this claim as of August 31,2003. The Company has filed a counter-suit stating that the former President was fraudulent in his representation to the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of LDS (see Note 12). The Company's subsidiary CMCG, purchased Logicorp (see note 13[a]) for an adjusted number of shares 3,355,000 (from 5,355,000 originally). The shares were exchangeable into Company shares at inception; the fair value of the shares issued was determined by using an average trading price of the Company's common stock for a reasonable period before and after the acquisition date, in accordance with SFAS 141 "Business Combinations". These shares of CMCG are exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company. The election to exchange is not subject to or contingent on any future events or conditions and is solely at the option of the sellers. The value of the shares is $4,852,976 and bears no interest. The shares have not been issued. The long-term debt consists of the HP loan (8[iv]), the Term loan (8[v] and the RCA trusts (8[ix]. Approximate future annual principal payments for long-term debt are as follows: ------------------------------------ Years ended August 31, 2004 $1,305,301 2005 53,073 2006 53,073 2007 7,246 2008 -- Thereafter -- ------------------------------------ 1,418,693 ==================================== Short-term and Long-term debt are presented as follows ---------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 ============================================== Current Term Loan (v) 1,470 128,994 RCA Trust (ix) 1,250,758 741,154 HP Loan (iv) 53,073 -- ---------------------------------------------- Current portion 1,305,301 870,148 Non-current Term Loan (v) -- 152,790 RCA Trust (ix) -- 686,522 HP Loan (iv) 113,392 212,291 ---------------------------------------------- Non-current portion 113,392 1,051,603 ============================================== 24 At August 31, 2003, we had a working capital deficit of $23,191,579, an increase of $3,776,645 from working capital deficit of $19,414,934 at August 31, 2002. A comparison of balance sheet accounts does not provide any relevant information since all prior operating companies are not listed as discontinued operations. In addition, there is no historical comparison for our current operating companies as they were acquired within the 2002 Fiscal Year. For the 2003 Fiscal Year, we had a net cash outflow of $52,117, a cash outflow of $315,336 for the 2002 Fiscal Year and $999,192 cash outflow for the 2001 Fiscal Year. The decrease in net cash inflow for the 2003 Fiscal Year was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities. Cash used in operating activities for the 2003 Fiscal Year was $480,283. The major factor contributing to the cash used in operations for the 2003 Fiscal Year is the net loss with non-cash expenses added back of $4,569,228 and decrease in deferred revenue of $321,825; major factors contributing to cash provided by operations were: decreases in accounts receivable, trade of $1,309,461, increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,988,981, and an increase in accrued interest payable of $899,757. The major factors contributing to the cash used in operations for the 2002 Fiscal Year include: net loss with non-cash expenses added back of $8,742,707 and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $3,883,743; major factors contributing to cash provided by operations, were a decrease in accounts receivable of $3,697,333. Cash used in operating activities for the 2001 Fiscal Year was $2,858,450. The major factor contributing to the cash used in operations during the 2001 Fiscal Year was net loss with non-cash expenses added back of $5,438,340; major factors contributing to cash provided by operations were a decrease in accounts receivable of $790,018 and an increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,072,244. Cash provided by investing activities in the 2003 Fiscal Year was $212,887. This amount resulted from the purchase of property and equipment of $391,648, offset by the proceeds from disposal of property and equipment of $434,532 and the proceeds from the sale of GalaVu of $170,003. Cash used in investing activities in the 2002 Fiscal Year was $779,515. This amount resulted primarily from the purchase of capital assets totaling $2,098,150, the purchase of Logicorp and eTelligent, $1,500,000 and $75,000 respectively offset by the proceeds from the sale of Magic Lantern of $1,850,000 and the proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $1,111,000. Cash used in investing activities in the 2001 Fiscal Year was $3,070,672. This amount resulted primarily from the purchase of property and equipment of $1,430,962 and the purchase of Applicationstation.com of $1,689,710. Cash provided by financing activities in the 2003 Fiscal Year were $265,307, the increase is primarily made up of increased borrowings against the bank indebtedness of $336,879, increased borrowings from related parties of $820,000 and increased borrowings from Logicorp shareholders of $312,191 offset by repayments to debt of $777,375, line of credit of $203,774 and Logicorp shareholders of $222,614. Cash provided by financing activities in the 2002 Fiscal Year were $9,268,626 which consisted primarily of the $6,587,622 convertible promissory note offset by payments of debt of $1,408,287. Cash provided by financing in the 2001 Fiscal Year were $4,929,930. The increase is primarily due to the sale of the convertible debenture and the bridge financing. We purchased the Logicorp group of companies and eTelligent Solutions in Fiscal 2002, both of which are in the Systems Integration segment. We have no obligation to fund these operations, as they are self-sufficient operations. INFLATION The rate of inflation has had little impact on our operations or financial position during the years ended August 31, 2003, August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001 and inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on our operations or financial position during the 2004 Fiscal Year. We pay a number of our suppliers, including our licensor and principal supplier, NTN Communications, Inc., in US dollars. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will have an impact on our gross profit as well as our net income. If the value of the Canadian dollar falls against the US dollar, our cost of revenues will increase thereby reducing our gross profit and net income. Conversely, if the value of the Canadian dollar rises against the US dollar, our gross profit and net income will increase. 25 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES As discussed in our financial statements, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, deferred revenue, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and rebates and coop fund. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We reevaluate these significant factors as facts and circumstances change. Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from our estimates. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Amendments to SFAS 123 related to the transition and annual disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. Amendments to disclosure requirements of APB Opinion 28 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted FIN No. 45 on September 1, 2002 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46 changed the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. During October 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003, if the variable interest was created prior to February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting such variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46. On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN-46R), primarily to clarify the required accounting for 26 interests in variable interest entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46 that was issued in January 2003. FIN-46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying FIN-46R. While FIN-46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN-46, it also incorporates many FASB Staff Positions previously issued by the FASB. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, FIN 46 may have on the Company; however, management of the Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This Statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made (i) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to Statement 133, (ii) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments, and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, in particular, the meaning of an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors, the meaning of underlying, and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements. In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements". The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with FASB's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. While FASB still plans to revise that definition through an amendment to Concepts Statement 6, FASB decided to defer issuing that amendment until it has concluded its deliberations on the next phase of this project. That next phase will deal with certain compound financial instruments including puttable shares, convertible bonds, and dual-indexed financial instruments. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which replaces the previously issued Statement. The revised Statement increases the existing disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. However, it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans as required under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Specifically, the revised Statement requires companies to provide additional disclosures about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, and benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Also, companies are required to provide a breakdown of plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and target allocation percentages for these asset categories. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial 27 Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers ("the FAQ") issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact the consolidated financial statements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We and our wholly-owned subsidiaries are located in Canada and its functional currency is the Canadian dollar. INTEREST RATE RISKS. We also had various loans outstanding at August 31, 2003 (approximately $11,500,000), which bear interest at a fixed rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the interest rate on this debt would negatively affect net income and cash flow by approximately $115,000. The company did not use any derivative financial instruments to manage this exposure. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE RISKS. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the Canadian dollar value of foreign currency-denominated transactions. Based on our average annual net currency positions in fiscal 2003 and 2002, a 10% adverse change in average annual foreign currency exchange rates would not have been material to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2003 or 2002. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. Set forth below is a list of the consolidated financial statements of the Company being furnished in this Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to the instructions to Item 8 to Form 10-K and their respective locations herein.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES. On July 3, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors terminated the engagement of Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP, as its auditors. The reports issued by Lazar, Levine & Felix LLP on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years of the Company did not contain an adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements with Lazar, Levine & Felix LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Lazar, Levine & Felix LLP, would have caused Lazar, Levine & Felix LLP to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years or such interim periods. 28 The Company has requested that Lazar, Levine & Felix LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter dated, July 21, 2003, is filed as Exhibit 2 to Form 8-K filed on October 18, 2003. On August 11, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors ratified the engagement of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. as its auditors. The decision to retain this accountant was approved by the Board of Directors. The Company authorized Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP to fully respond to any and all inquiries of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. concerning Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP termination. Prior to our engagement of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. the Company requested that Stonefield Josephson, Inc. assist with auditing the financial statements for Logicorp, a subsidiary group of the Registrant's, for the twelve months ended February 28, 2000, four months ended June 30, 2000, twelve months ended June 30, 2001, and six months ended December 30, 2001. Other than as described above, during our two most recent fiscal years prior to the date of engagement, and the subsequent interim period prior to engaging this accountant, neither the Company (nor someone on the Company's behalf) consulted the newly engaged accountant regarding any matter. The Company has allowed Stonefield Josephson, Inc. to review its Form 8-K before it is filed with the Commission. Stonefield Josephson, Inc. has not furnished the Company with a clarification, or disagreement with the information set forth herein. On October 12, 2000, Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y"), the independent accountants who were engaged as the principal accountants to audit our financial statements resigned as our certifying accountants. E&Y's report on our financial statements as at August 31, 1999 and for the two years then ended contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999 and during the subsequent interim period preceding E&Y's resignation we had no disagreement with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The facts and circumstances that relate to E&Y's resignation, as far as we know them, are as follows: E&Y served as our certifying accountants since 1995. E&Y orally informed us that pursuant to E&Y's internal rules, E&Y would resign as our certifying accountants since it was unwilling and therefore unable to rely upon the representations of Mr. Cameron Chell, our President and Chief Executive Officer, due to the existence of a Settlement Agreement dated November 6, 1998, between Cameron Chell, and the Alberta Stock Exchange. On April 3, 2000, our board of directors appointed Mr. Chell as a director and elected him as our Chair; on April 3, 2000, Chell.com. Ltd., an Alberta corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Chell, purchased approximately 16% of our issued and outstanding common stock; and on April 7, 2000, we advised E&Y of the existence of the Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to this Settlement Agreement with the Alberta Stock Exchange, Mr. Chell acknowledged the existence of certain facts that occurred during 1996 and 1997 while Mr. Chell was a registered representative in Alberta, Canada, licensed by the Alberta Securities Commission, and he agreed to certain restrictions imposed by the Alberta Stock Exchange and to pay a Cdn$25,000 civil fine. Specifically, Mr. Chell acknowledged that he had breached certain duties of supervision, disclosure, and compliance of the Alberta Stock Exchange in connection with various offers and sales of securities. Those restrictions included Mr. Chell's loss of Alberta Stock Exchange approval for a five-year period and enhanced supervision for a three-year period. E&Y's unwillingness to rely upon Mr. Cameron Chell's representations were based upon the existence of the Settlement Agreement with the Alberta Stock Exchange and not based upon any representations made by Cameron Chell. On November 1, 2000, our Board of Directors ratified the engagement of Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP as our auditors for the year ending August 31, 2000. We have authorized E&Y to fully respond to any and all inquiries of Lazar, Levine & Felix, LLP concerning E&Y's resignation. 29 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were designed and functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. (b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART III ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT. CURRENT COMPOSITION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME AGE PRINCIPAL POSITIONS WITH THE COMPANY DIRECTOR SINCE ================================================================================ David Bolink 36 Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, Director 2003 Andy Quinn 41 Director 2004 Neil Brown 31 Secretary, Corporate Controller N/A Mr. Bolink was elected at our Annual Shareholders' Meeting held in 2003.

All of our Directors will hold office until the next succeeding Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. There were no resignations of directors due to differences. DAVID BOLINK has been our director since November 2003, and also served as a director from 2000 to 2002. He was a Managing Director of Chell Merchant Capital Group from September 2000 to January 19, 2001 and served as Chell.com. Ltd.'s first President from December 1999 to July 2000.

In forming our Board of Directors, we sought out individuals who would be able to guide our operations based on their business experience, both past and present, or their education. Our business model is not complex and our accounting issues are straightforward. Responsibility for our operations is centralized within management, which is comprised of four people. We rely on the assistance of others, to help us with the preparation of our financial information. We recognize that having a person who possesses all of the attributes of an audit committee financial expert would be a valuable addition to our Board of Directors, however, we are not, at this time, able to compensate such a person therefore, and we may find it difficult to attract such a candidate. CODE OF ETHICS On July 22, 2004 our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our outstanding Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and report changes in ownership of Common Stock. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us and written or oral representations that no other reports were required for such persons, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners have been complied with respect to the fiscal years ended August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2002. ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

NOTE: (1) The value of the unexercised "in-the-money" options has been determined by subtracting the exercise price of the options from the closing Common Share price of US$0.379 on August 30, 2003, and multiplying by the number of Common Shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of the options. The current exercise price of the options is higher than the closing Common Share price of US$0.379, therefore the Value of the options is nil. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Prior to September 8, 2000, each director, not otherwise our full time employee, was eligible to receive $500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which they attended, along with the reimbursement of their reasonable expenses incurred on our behalf. In addition, each director, not otherwise our full time employees were eligible to receive 1,500 stock options annually.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT. Set forth in the table below is information concerning the ownership, as of the close of business on July 1, 2004, of the common stock by each person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five (5%) percent of the common stock, our directors and named executive officers, and all directors and executive officers as a group.

(1) Unless otherwise stated, the address of the directors and executive officers of the corporation is c/o Chell Group Corporation, 800 3rd Avenue, 21st floor, New York, NY, USA 10022. 34 (2) Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that may be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined, upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants and convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within such 60-day period, have been exercised. The percentages reflected in this table assume the approval of the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Logicorp transaction, the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the conversion of the 8% convertible promissory notes and the issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the conversion of two promissory notes issued by us. (3) Cameron Chell is the sole director and shareholder of Chell.com Ltd. (4) Includes 36,500 shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants and 442,145 shares of our common stock to be issued upon shareholder approval scheduled for October 30, 2002. (5) Consists of options granted in fiscal 2004 to acquire an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.05 per share. Mr. McDermott no longer served as an officer or director on and after May 7, 2004. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS. Set forth below is a description of certain transactions between us and our directors, executive officers, beneficial owners of five percent or more of the outstanding Common Stock, or members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, as well as certain business relationships between us and our directors, which occurred or existed during the 2003 Fiscal Year and subsequent thereto. Our management believes that the transactions described in this section were made on terms no less favorable than those that could have been obtained from third parties. License Agreement between us, Cameron Chell, and Chell Merchant Capital Group dated August 31, 2000 whereby Mr. Chell grants us and Chell Merchant Capital Group the right to use the trademarks "Chell.com", "Chell Merchant Capital Group" and "Chell Group Corporation" in exchange for the fee of $1.00 per year. Securities Purchase Agreement with VC Advantage Fund ("VC") on October 3, 2000, for up to US$3,000,000 loan to us. VC received a Convertible Debenture, which is convertible into our Common, based upon an agreed conversion price of $3.00 per share. As of November 30, 2000, VC had assigned its rights in this Agreement to Canadian Advantage Limited Partnership ("CALP II") and a total of US$1,700,000 has been advanced to the Company. The US$1,700,000 advance is convertible into 566,667 Common shares. Cameron Chell is a Director and shareholder of VC Advantage Limited, the general partner of VC. Pursuant to the assignment of this agreement to CALP II, this is no longer a related transaction as Mr. Chell has no interests in CALP II. During the year ended August 31, 2003, B.O.T.B., a company controlled by Cameron Chell, advanced Logicorp Data Systems $820,000, and during the period of September 1, 2003 through April 30, 2004, advanced Logicorp Data Systems $567,399. The advances are due on demand and do not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on the advances at a rate of 9% per annum. As of April 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of such advances was $1,387,399. The 3,000,000 option issuance to Stephen McDermott was part of the Board approved compensation package during the 2004 Fiscal Year. The options were for services rendered to date. 35 ITEM 14.

Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 14. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chell Group Corporation and subsidiaries, as of August 31, 2003, and 2002, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's significant recurring operating losses, working capital deficit, shareholders' deficit, negative cash flows from operations, and default on certain loan agreements raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As discussed in Note 16, the Company has restated its financial statements as of August 31, 2001, and for the year then ended, previously audited by other auditors. /s/ Stonefield Josephson, Inc. ------------------------------ Stonefield Josephson, Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS Chell Group Corporation [the "Company"] was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on May 12, 1986. The Company is the holding company for NTN Interactive Network Inc. ["Interactive"], GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc. ["GalaVu"], Chell Merchant Capital Group ["CMCG"], and Chell.com USA ("Chell.com USA"), all of which are wholly-owned operating companies. The Company also owns all of the outstanding stock of 3484751 Canada Inc., a corporation the Company established and incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 20, 1998. 3484751 Canada Inc. was incorporated for the sole purpose of owning a property, purchased in 1998, on behalf of the Company, which is currently unoccupied. CMCG owns all the outstanding stock of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. ["LDS"], Logicorp Service Group Ltd. ["LSG"], 123557 Alberta Ltd. and 591360 Alberta Ltd. (collectively "Logicorp"). LDS also owns all the outstanding stock of eTelligent Solutions Inc., ["eTelligent"]. Interactive owns all of the outstanding stock of 1113659 Ontario Ltd., which is inactive. LDS was incorporated on March 31, 1988 as an Alberta, Canada Corporation and is registered in the provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Ontario, Canada. LDS is a computer service organization, which specializes in the supply and integration of computer products. LDS serves both large and small organizations and is particularly valued by organizations having complex data and communication configurations. F-7 LSG was incorporated on December 10, 1993 under the name 591363 Alberta Ltd., as an Alberta, Canada Corporation. On February 28, 1995, LSG changed its name to Logicorp Service Group Ltd. LSG is a computer service organization specializing in the servicing of computer products in Edmonton. LSG serves both as a warranty depot for manufacturers of computer products and a technical resource for small, medium and large commercial businesses. eTelligent was incorporated on July 21, 2000. eTelligent is a team of business system consultants specializing in implementing and integrating e-business, CRM (customer relationship management) and financial services solutions from Microsoft Great Plains. eTelligent is comprised of professional accountants and information technology specialists, all certified through Microsoft Great Plains University. CMCG is incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and is the parent company for Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. ("LDS"), Logicorp Service Group Ltd. ("LSG"), 591360 Alberta Ltd. and 123557 Alberta Ltd. eTelligent Solutions Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LDS. These subsidiaries of CMCG (collectively "Logicorp") operate in the information technology systems integration industry, predominantly in western Canada. Interactive is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and has signed a license agreement [the "NTNC license"] with NTN Communications, Inc., an unrelated Delaware company, for exclusive representation of their interactive communications for all industry sectors in Canada. This interactive entertainment network allows viewers to participate actively with a variety of television programs, trivia and sports games. Present subscribers to the Company's networks are hotels, restaurants, bars and university clubs. Each subscriber either purchases the system hardware directly or rents the system from Interactive. Interactive purchases the subscriber system from NTN Communications, Inc. and various other suppliers. Following the installation, each subscriber pays a monthly fee to Interactive for the program content and maintenance services, which ranges from $650 to $750. The monthly fees for rental systems range from approximately $255 to $290. On December 15, 2003, the Company sold certain assets of Interactive (see Note 4). GalaVu is incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and is a technology-based entertainment provider of interactive in-room entertainment systems for small and mid-sized hotels. GalaVu's interactive system is based upon proprietary technology and provides a suite of products including movies on demand, premium television programming and other information and entertainment services. Effective April 25, 2003, the Company sold GalaVu (see Note 4). The Company's primary market to date has been Canada. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has reported net losses attributable to common shareholders of $7,541,502, $30,888,553 and $11,747,639 for the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $51,450,983 as of August 31, 2003. Also, the Company has negative cash flows from operations for each of the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. In addition, the Company has working capital deficit of $23,191,579 and net asset deficit of 22,903,596 as of August 31, 2003. Furthermore, as discussed in Note 8, the Company is in default on certain loan agreements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot be certain that anticipated revenues from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements. Management's belief is based on the Company's operating plan, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. If the Company's financial resources are insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. F-8 Should these financing sources fail to materialize, management would seek alternate funding sources through sale of common and/or preferred stock. The Company's business plans for 2004 contemplate obtaining additional working capital through refinancings or restructurings of its existing loan agreements, reducing operating overhead (which has already begun through workforce consolidation), and sales of some of its existing subsidiaries including sale of NTN in December 2003 (see Note 4). If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations. Management is of the opinion that they will be able to obtain enough working capital and that, together with funds provided by operations, there will be sufficient working capital for the Company's requirements in the future. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. 2. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE Interactive is dependent upon NTN Communications, Inc. as its sole supplier for the transmission of program content to the Company's subscribers. In the event that NTN Communications, Inc., which operates under the going-concern assumption, terminates the transmission of program content, the Company believes, but cannot assure, that such services are likely to be continued by others. As of June 30, 2004, NTN Communications, Inc. had shareholders' equity of $24,034,000 and working capital of $10,481,00 according to its unaudited balance sheet included in its quarterly report. NTN Communications, Inc. has reported a quarterly net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 of $1,074,000 and a net loss of $2,368,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. It reported an unaudited net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $2,711,000. All such amounts referred to in this paragraph are quoted in US dollars. In December 2003, the Company completed the sale of assets and liabilities of Interactive (see Note 4). During the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company paid commission of $1,502,370, $1,772,375, and $1,865,974, respectively, in Canadian dollars, to NTN Communications, Inc. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. They are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which operations are conducted. CONSOLIDATION POLICY These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: CMCG (which includes Logicorp and eTelligent), Interactive, GalaVu, 3484751 Canada Inc., Chell.com USA Inc., and Magic. In December 2003, the Company completed the sale of assets and liabilities of Interactive (see Note 4). Effective April 25, 2003, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary GalaVu (see Note 4). Effective March 18, 2002, the Company sold Magic and its wholly-owned subsidiary Tutorbuddy and its 75% ownership of STI for cash consideration of $1,850,000 (see Note 4). The Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect Interactive, GalaVu, and Magic as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company uses the equity method for investments in which it owns less than 50% but over 20%. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. F-9 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company has the following financial instruments within its consolidated financial statements: accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest, convertible debt and long-term debt. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments: accounts receivable, bank indebtedness accrued liabilities and accounts payable. The carrying amount for accrued interest approximates fair value because the interest accruals are based upon the actual or imputed interest rate from contractual debt agreements or other obligations, thus making the amount easily determined. The carrying amount for long-term debt approximates fair value because the amounts are based upon the amount from contractual debt agreements or other obligations, thus making the amount easily determined. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, deferred revenue, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, rebates and coop fund. Actual results in subsequent periods could differ from management's estimates and those differences could be material. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product is shipped to customers. For maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the related contract. Provisions for discounts to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other price adjustments are provided for in the same periods the related revenue is recorded. Outbound shipping charges to customers are included in net sales. Software sales are recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions." Pursuant to SOP 97-2, software sales are recognized on sales contracts when all of the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists (e.g., a signed contract is obtained), delivery has occurred, the total sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is probable, and any uncertainties with regard to customer acceptance are insignificant. For those contracts that include a combination of software and services, sales are allocated among the different elements based on company-specific evidence of fair value of each element. Sales allocated to software are recognized as the above criteria are met. Sales allocated to services are recognized as services are performed and accepted by the customer or, for maintenance agreements, ratably over the life of the related contract. Revenue for resale of software and technology equipment and service fee is recognized based on guidance provided in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," as amended, (SAB 101). Software and technology equipment resale revenue is recognized when all of the components necessary to run software or hardware have been shipped. Service revenues include maintenance fees for providing system updates for software products, user documentation and technical support and are recognized over the life of the contract. Other service revenues, including training and consulting, are recognized as the services are performed. The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts on a customer-by-customer basis as appropriate. F-10 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash which mature in less than three months from the date of issue. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates their fair values. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company's division in the computer reselling business often adjusts its product prices after the products are shipped due to price errors. The Company estimates an allowance for price adjustments at the end of each reporting period based on the historical price adjustment to its sales. In addition, the Company estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. The Company has $316,195 in allowance for doubtful accounts and $40,000 in allowance for price adjustments as of August 31, 2003 compared to $120,000 for doubtful accounts and $40,000 in allowance for price adjustments as of August 31, 2002. No such allowance was accrued prior to the acquisition of this division on January 1, 2002. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows: 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- Beginning balance $ 160,000 $ 227,000 Increase through acquisition of Logicorp Data Systems -- 270,000 Provision for doubtful accounts 203,448 (11,223) Write-offs (7,253) (218,477) Reclassification to discontinued operations -- (107,300) ---------- ---------- Ending balance $ 356,195 $ 160,000 ========== ========== The Company's policies for allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows: 1) all amounts over 365 days outstanding are provided for 100% and are sent to collections, and 2) an evaluation of all amounts/customers that have amounts outstanding in the 90+ days outstanding are reviewed to determine the reasons for the delay in receiving payment and thus are assigned a probability of collection. The probability is determined based on historical experience for the company. Any account receivable under 60% probability of collection is allowed for. The policy for charging off uncollectible trade receivables are as follows: 1) all amounts over 365 days are directly written-off as soon as they are allowed for, and 2) amounts are also written-off if settlement has been reached with the customer to decrease the amount owing. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts and price adjustments will change. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company generally extends credit to its customers, who are concentrated in the government units and large corporations, and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Typically, the Company does not require collateral. INVENTORY Inventory consists of finished goods held for sale or rent, which are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. F-11 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization of equipment are provided over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 3 years using the straight-line method. Computer equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. Software is amortized over the following: server and enterprise software is amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years, desktop and other operational software is amortized on a straight-line basis over 1 year. Autos are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the economic useful lives or the lease term. Buildings are amortized on a straight-line basis over the economic useful lives of 25 years. EVALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Effective September 1, 2002, and in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company requires long-lived assets to be held and used to be analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the assets, less the costs to sell. For comparative purposes with the 2003 balance sheet, the Company has presented the 2002 balance sheet following the guidance in SFAS 144 for long-lived assets held for sale. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Effective September 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually and at any other time if events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Prior to September 1, 2001, goodwill was stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The net effect of the adoption of SFAS 142 on results of operations prior to September 1, 2001 would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial results of the Company as the amortization of the goodwill was allocated to the discontinued operations. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (Aug 31st for the Company) and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation and amortization of the licenses and the valuation of goodwill, taking into consideration any events and circumstances which might have impaired the fair value. The Company assumes there is an impairment if the carrying amount is greater than the expected net future cash flows. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the Company's average cost of funds. Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed; results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit. F-12 Due to the substantial increase in operating losses and severe negative cash flows of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. and Logicorp Service Group Ltd. since the acquisitions, the Company assessed the fair value of these reporting units and determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $10,489,549 is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2002. Measurement of the fair value of these reporting units is based on present value techniques of estimated future cash flows. The goodwill remaining on our consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $276,794 as of August 31, 2003 and 2002 arose from the purchase of eTelligent and this goodwill is allocated to the systems integration segment. OTHER ASSETS Other assets include long-term deposits which are related to our leased facilities and are held until settlement of account. DEFERRED REVENUE Deferred Revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of the Company's performance in the underlying service agreement. Deferred revenue is amortized ratably over the period in which the services are provided. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company's consolidated financial statements are reported in Canadian dollars since the majority of its assets are located in Canada and majority of its operations took place in Canada. Transactions for Chell Group Corporation, the registrant, (excluding all the subsidiaries) are conducted in U.S. dollars and all the related assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Accounts for statements of operations of Chell Group Corporation (excluding all the subsidiaries) are translated at weighted average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into Canadian dollars are included in other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income was $935,461 and $215,097, for the years ended August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2002, respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB No. 25, compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period based on the excess, if any, on the date of grant of the fair value of the Company's shares over the employee's exercise F-13 price. When the exercise price of the option is less than the fair value price of the underlying shares on the grant date, deferred stock compensation is recognized and amortized to expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation-an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25," over the vesting period of the individual options. Accordingly, if the exercise price of the Company's employee options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Options or shares awards issued to non-employees are valued in accordance with SFAS 123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and expensed over the period services are provided. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS The Company has adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan [the "Plan"] designed to compensate key employees of our Company for the performance of their corporate responsibilities. The benefits to employees under the Plan are dependent upon improvement in market value of the Company's common shares. The Plan offers selected key employees the opportunity to purchase common shares through the exercise of a stock option. An option entitles the employee to purchase common shares from the Company at a price determined on the date the option is granted. The option exercise price is the closing trading price of the stock on the day prior to the grant date. The options vest over a four-year period from the grant date, at the rate of 25% per year. Options granted prior to August 31, 1998 vest over a two-year period from the grant date, 50% after one year and 50% at the end of the second year. The options expire five years after the grant date. The Plan also provides that selected key employees may receive common shares as an award of Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock consists of common shares that are awarded subject to certain conditions, such as continued employment with the Company or an affiliate for a specified period. Up to 20% of the outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis on the date of the grant, excluding outstanding options may be issued under the Plan. The following is a summary of outstanding stock options: WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXERCISE PRICE TOTAL U.S. $ # ======================================================================== BALANCE AS AT AUGUST 31, 2000 1,297,000 Issued 4.33 94,500 Exercised 2.68 (62,750) Expired 2.40 (3,750) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE AS AT AUGUST 31, 2001 1,325,000 Issued 0.95 1,731,215 Exercised 0.83 (186,188) Expired 6.25 (1,326,187) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE AS AT AUGUST 31, 2002 1,543,840 Issued 0.0 0 Exercised 0.0 0 Expired 0.96 (1,224,609) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE AS AT AUGUST 31, 2003 1.00 319,231 ======================================================================= EXERCISE PRICE RANGES EXPIRATION TOTAL U.S. $ DATE # ======================================================================= 1.00 November 1, 2011 95,106 1.00 November 30, 2011 224,125 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE AS AT AUGUST 31, 2003 319,231 ======================================================================= The number of stock options that are exercisable at August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is 319,231, 959,906 and 761,163, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted was U.S. $0.00 during 2003, $0.936 during 2002, and $1.17 during 2001. F-14 The Company accounts for its stock option plans and its employee stock purchase plan in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. Accordingly, because the exercise price of the employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for these plans. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if we had accounted for the Company's employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions for 2003, 2002, and 2001: (a) risk-free interest rate of 4.35% for 2003, 5.09% for 2002 and 5.39% for 2001; dividend yield of 0% for 2003, 2002 and 2001; volatility factor of 931.8% for 2003, 120.5% for 2002, and 70.7% for 2001; and a weighted average expected life of the options of 8 years for 2003, 9 years for 2002 and 3 years for 2001. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options. Had compensation cost for these stock options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period excluding contingent shares issued in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Diluted earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method (which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value) and are based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company has outstanding options and warrants of 391,231, 1,543,840 and 1,325,000 as of August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These options and warrants are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. F-15 REBATES AND COOP FUNDS The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Logicorp Data Systems Ltd., receives rebates and marketing campaign reimbursements ("coop funds") from manufacturers based on sales volume and based on special pricing for its customers. Rebates are classified as reduction of cost of sales, while coop funds are classified as reductions of selling and marketing expenses. Such expenses for each reporting period are summarized as follows for the period from January 1, 2002 (effective date of the acquisition of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd.) to August 31, 2003:

ADVERTISING The Company expenses advertising, promotion, and marketing costs when incurred. Such expenses are summarized as follows:

Advertising costs are dealt with on a case by case basis. Any advertising that is purchased that is longer than one month in nature is setup as a short-term asset in prepaids and is expensed over the length of the period. If the length of the term is longer than one year, the amount would be classified as other assets. All other advertising costs are expensed when incurred. As of August 31, 2003, the Company had no prepaid advertising expenses longer than one year in nature. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS The Company's shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. WARRANTY COST The Company does not provide any warranties on its products. Warranties that are provided are the liability of the manufacturers. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd., Logicorp Service Group Ltd., 123557 Alberta Ltd., and 591360 Alberta Ltd. Effective June 1, 2002, Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. acquired 100% of the shares of eTelligent Solutions Inc. The operating results of these subsidiaries are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition (see Note 13). DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS The discontinued operations include the operating results of (1) Magic from September 1, 2001 to March 18, 2002, the date Magic was sold; (2) GalaVu for the period from September 1, 2001 to April 25, 2003, the date GalaVu was sold, and (3) Interactive for the period from September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2003. Operating results of the above mentioned subsidiaries for the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4. F-16 RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain 2002 and 2001 balances have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2003 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Amendments to SFAS 123 related to the transition and annual disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. Amendments to disclosure requirements of APB Opinion 28 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted FIN No. 45 on September 1, 2002 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46 changed the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. During October 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003, if the variable interest was created prior to February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting such variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46. On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN-46R), primarily to clarify the required accounting for interests in variable interest entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46 that was issued in January 2003. FIN-46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying FIN-46R. While FIN-46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN-46, it also incorporates many FASB Staff Positions previously issued by the FASB. Management is currently assessing the impact, if any, FIN 46 may have on the Company; however, management of the Company does not anticipate the adoption will have a material impact to the Company's financial position or results of operations. F-17 In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This Statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made (i) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to Statement 133, (ii) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments, and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, in particular, the meaning of an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors, the meaning of underlying, and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements. In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements". The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with FASB's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. While FASB still plans to revise that definition through an amendment to Concepts Statement 6, FASB decided to defer issuing that amendment until it has concluded its deliberations on the next phase of this project. That next phase will deal with certain compound financial instruments including puttable shares, convertible bonds, and dual-indexed financial instruments. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" which replaces the previously issued Statement. The revised Statement increases the existing disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. However, it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans as required under SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Specifically, the revised Statement requires companies to provide additional disclosures about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, and benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Also, companies are required to provide a breakdown of plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and target allocation percentages for these asset categories. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 104's primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC's Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers ("the FAQ") issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. F-18 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS SALE OF INTERACTIVE Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated the 15th day of December, 2003, the Company sold to NTN Communications, Inc. (Amex: NTN) the assets and certain liabilities of NTN Interactive Network, Inc. The Company sold NTN Interactive Network's assets for approximately USD$1.55 million. The consideration was composed of USD$250,000 in cash, USD$650,000 in shares of unregistered NTN common stock (approximately 238,000 shares valued at the closing market price on the date of sale which was $2.73 per share). The Company intends to hold the shares of NTN for an indeterminate period of time, no less than the required time for Rule 144 restrictions to be removed. The remainder of the purchase price was based upon the application of unpaid licensing payables (approximating USD$650,000) owed to NTN Communications, Inc., at the closing of the transaction. The Company has adopted SFAS 144 and as a result the Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001 balances have been restated in order to conform with the presentation of Fiscal 2003 financial presentation. Interactive is reported as part of the discontinued business segment (previously entertainment segment). At the date of sale, the assets of Interactive were tested for recoverability in accordance with SFAS 144 which resulted in no impairment to recognize. In an effort to streamline and focus the Company's resources on its core business segment of systems integration, all other segments were decided to be discontinued. Interactive had historically been profitable, provided positive cash flows and faced little or no competition; however the organization no longer strategically fit with the Company and the assets were sold. The following is a listing of the major classes of assets and liabilities of Interactive as of August 31, 2003 and 2002 (combined with GalaVu on the consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2002): ------------------------------------------------------------ INTERACTIVE: 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------ Accounts receivable $ 252,026 $ 338,394 Fixed assets 437,540 464,348 Other current assets 98,092 335,743 Intangible assets 181,634 130,509 ------------------------------------------------------------ Assets $ 969,292 $ 1,268,994 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ INTERACTIVE: 2003 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------ Cash overdraft $ 272,544 $ -- Accounts payable 959,769 603,407 Accrued liabilities 260,657 407,941 Other current liabilities 53,484 -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Liabilities $(1,546,454) $(1,011,348) ------------------------------------------------------------ F-19 Summarized operating results of Interactive's discontinued operations are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended August 31, August 31, August 31, 2003 2002 2001 =============================================================================== Sales $ 5,755,244 $ 4,613,673 $ 2,386,401 Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 8,408 $ 1,021,845 $ 609,366 Loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SALE OF GALAVU Pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated 25th day of April, 2003, the Company sold to DVOD Networks Inc., an Ontario corporation ("DVOD"), all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of GalaVu Entertainment Network Inc., a technology-based entertainment provider ("GalaVu") for $1.00 (Canadian). Concurrently, the Company assigned to DVOD or caused its subsidiaries to assign to DVOD, for $2.00 (Canadian) promissory notes and other receivables of GalaVu, the Company or its subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of $1,672,608 (Canadian). At the same time 488605 Ontario Limited, a non-affiliated Canadian corporation ("488605") and Ruth Margel (one of the note holders, an unrelated party) assigned a note payable by GalaVu in the principal amount of $375,000 (Canadian) to DVOD in return for $170,000 (Canadian) paid by DVOD and a new note in the amount of $325,000 (Canadian) payable by 3484751 Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation and subsidiary of the Company, which such new note was issued to reflect additional advances made by 488605 and Ruth Margel to the Company or subsidiaries of the Company in the past. There have been no defaults on this agreement. GalaVu is reported as part of the discontinued business segment (previously entertainment segment). In an effort to streamline and focus the Company's resources on its core business segment of systems integration, all other segments were decided to be discontinued. Since the GalaVu was no longer considered a priority for the Company's resources, GalaVu was not receiving the capital funding it required for growth. The Management of GalaVu approached the Company's management to inquire about selling GalaVu. Since GalaVu no longer strategically fit with the Company, GalaVu was sold. At the date of sale, the assets of GalaVu were tested for recoverability in accordance with SFAS 144 which resulted in no impairment to recognize. The following is a listing of the major classes of assets and liabilities of GalaVu as of August 31, 2002 (combined with Interactive on the consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2002): ---------------------------------------- GALAVU: 2002 ---------------------------------------- Accounts receivable $ 583,837 Fixed assets 2,211,894 Other current assets 69,186 ---------------------------------------- Assets $ 2,864,917 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- GALAVU: 2002 ---------------------------------------- Accounts payable 886,489 Accrued liabilities 291,890 Long-term debt 2,353,157 ---------------------------------------- Liabilities $ 3,531,536 ---------------------------------------- F-20 Summarized operating results of GalaVu's discontinued operations are as follows:

In an effort to streamline and focus the Company's resources on its core business segment of systems integration, all other segments were decided to be discontinued. Since Magic was no longer considered a priority for the Company's resources, Magic was not receiving the capital funding it required for growth. The Management of Magic approached the Company's management to inquire about selling Magic. Since Magic no longer strategically fit with the Company, Magic was sold. Magic is reported as part of the discontinued business segment (previously education segment). SALE OF INTERLYNX MULTIMEDIA INC. ("INTERLYNX") During fiscal 2001, the Company sold Interlynx for cash consideration of $50,000 and a $45,000 promissory note receivable. Summarized operating results of Interlynx discontinued operations are as follows:

The Company's financial statements have been restated to reflect Interlynx as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Interlynx is reported as part of the discontinued business segment (previously E-commerce segment). F-21 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consist of the following:

1) In Fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified land and buildings to "Property held for sale" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (Note 6). 2) CMCG subleases its property and a $163,142 impairment of the leaseholds has been determined and has been expensed as "write-off of leasehold improvements". The leaseholds have been written down to the value of the future income from the sublease. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $1,030,645 for 2003, $1,019,396 for 2002, and $586,957 for 2001. 6. PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we made the determination to sell Interactive. Upon the Company receiving a letter of intent for Interactive, it was reasonably determined that the sale would occur, as evident by the December 15, 2003 sale (see Note 4). Since receiving the LOI, there would be no operations occupying the property at 14 Meteor drive and thus we made the determination to sell the building and its property. Simultaneously, since the property at 10 Meteor drive was vacant also, we made the determination to sell this property also. Therefore, both properties have been classified as "Property held for sale" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2003. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 25,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 14 Meteor Drive in Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 12,500 square foot, one story building. On December 19, 2003, we sold this land and building to an unrelated third party for approximately $730,000 and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $100,000 (net of costs). During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 29,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 10 Meteor Drive, Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 14,000 square foot, two story building. We sold this land and building to an unrelated party on March 7, 2004 for approximately $710,000. The Company anticipates a gain of approximately $70,000 (net of costs). The details of the properties held for sale are listed below: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3484751 Canada Ltd. Interactive Total ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Furniture & Fixtures NBV 12,184 - 12,184 Building 318,991 342,370 661,361 Land 265,000 238,500 503,500 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property held for sale 596,175 580,870 1,177,045 ============================================================================ F-22 We have two mortgages associated with the properties: a demand-loan with the Bank of Montreal (principal remaining - $789,583) and a second mortgage from Harvey Margel ($325,000). The Bank of Montreal demanded payment for its mortgage upon learning of the intention to sell Interactive, for which the assets were used as collateral. The Margel mortgage was originally due in November 2003 and was extended to December upon the settlement of the first property sale. All mortgages associated with the properties were paid in full subsequent to year end. As a result, we have classified the assets as "property held for sale" in current assets and the corresponding mortgages as current liabilities, respectively, due to the sale of the properties subsequent to year end. 7. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes consists of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 2002 2001 (restated) $ $ $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Current and deferred FEDERAL -- -- -- PROVINCIAL -- -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -- -- ============================================================================== The difference between the provision for income taxes and the amount computed by applying the combined basic federal and provincial income tax rate of 39.3% for 2003, 39.3% for 2002, and 42.1% for 2001 to income before income taxes is as set out below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 2002 2001 Taxes on continuing operations (restated) $ $ $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STATUTORY RATE APPLIED TO LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS (3,322,742) (11,293,168) (4,051,216) Benefit of current year's losses not recognized (change in valuation allowance) 3,125,547 11,080,091 3,734,669 Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 197,195 213,077 316,547 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -- -- ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 2002 2001 Taxes on discontinued operations (restated) $ $ $ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STATUTORY RATE APPLIED TO GAIN (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 358,931 (792,186) (675,025) Loss of subsidiary sold during the year (121,321) (672,285) (539,922) Capital (gain) loss on sale of subsidiary (480,253) 119,901 1,064,133 Benefit of current year's losses not recognized (change in valuation allowance) 242,643 1,344,570 150,814 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -- -- ============================================================================== For the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. As at August 31, 2003, the Company's deferred tax assets primarily relating to the benefit of realizing losses available for carry forward and the timing difference of the write-off of property and equipment, net of a full valuation allowance of $24,500,000, was nil. As at August 31, 2002, the Company's deferred tax assets primarily relating to the benefit of realizing losses available for carry forward and the timing difference of the write-off of property and equipment, net of a full valuation allowance of $16,750,000, was nil. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company's history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at August 31, 2003 and 2002. F-23 At August 31, 2003, the Company and certain subsidiaries have loss carry forwards of approximately $40,000,000 that can be carried forward against future taxable income. The loss carry forwards began to expire in 2003. 8.

("LDS") [a] 3,852,790 2,872,850 eTelligent Solutions Inc. 82,376 118,064 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3,935,166 2,990,914 ============================================================================== [a] In March 2001, LDS entered into a line of credit agreement with HSBC Bank of Canada. Bank advances are payable on demand. The loan agreement covers (i) a demand revolving operating loan up to $3,700,000; (ii) equipment loan up to $300,000; (iii) demand Evergreen Capital loan/lease facility up to $300,000; and (iv) loan on forward exchange contracts up to $500,000. The operating loan carries an interest rate of 0.82% over the prime rate while the equipment and Evergreen Capital loans carry an interest rate equal to, at the option of the Company, (a) 1.05% over the prime rate at the end of each month; or (b) a fixed rate agreed to by both the Bank and the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can borrow, under the operating loan and 31% of the forward exchange contracts outstanding, up to an aggregate of (i) 70% of acceptable accounts receivable and (ii) 50% of the lesser of cost or current market value of its inventory not to exceed $750,000. The effective rate at August 31, 2003 was 4.32%. Borrowings under the line are subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on additional indebtedness and other related items. As of August 31, 2003, the Company is in violation of maximum debt to net worth and minimum working capital covenants. The loans are secured F-24 by the assets of the Company under a general security agreement, and are guaranteed by the Logicorp Service Group Ltd., through a security agreement and are also personally guaranteed by the former shareholders of LDS. Under the terms of the line of credit agreement, the bank may declare all outstanding amounts immediately due and payable. The Bank has not called the loan. A forbearance agreement was signed that expired in October 2003. The Company has signed a new forbearance agreement that will extend to October 31, 2004 and anticipates signing a longer forbearance before the end of October 31, 2004. On January 22, 2002, Mr. Chell guaranteed liabilities of Logicorp to its principal lender, HSBC, in the amount of Cdn$1.0 million. On December 24, 2002, Mr. Chell guaranteed trade credit of Logicorp to Synnex in the amount of approximately Cdn. $1.0 million. On January 7, 2003, the board determined that the Company would grant 3.5 million shares (actual issuance of shares occurred in Fiscal 2004) of common stock to Mr. Chell for such guarantees and other consideration in support of the Company. The valuation on the shares was determined by the 10 day preceding trading average of the Company's common stock, which resulted in an approximate $134,000 US$ compensation expense recorded in Fiscal 2003. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a description of the loans. [b] The bank line of credit consists of debts from the following entities: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company 2003 2002 =========================================================================== Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. ("LDS") 908,432 603,740 eTelligent Solutions Inc. 0 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 908,432 603,740 =========================================================================== [ii] On December 1, 2001, the Company offered to certain investors 8% convertible notes up to a maximum amount of US$ 8,000,000 in a private placement. The Company received approximately Cnd$6,587,622 through this offering. Under the terms of this offering, the notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a price of the greater of (1) 50% of the average closing bid prices for the ten trading days prior to conversion or (2) US$0.50. These notes were due August 9, 2002. On April 9, 2002 all of the holders of the notes signed commitments to voluntarily convert the notes based on the conversion price per the terms of the agreement, which was determined to be US$0.95 per share. This conversion was subject to shareholder approval. The conversion of these notes would have resulted in the issuance of approximately 4,389,000 shares representing approximately 20% of the total common shares outstanding after the issuance, and diluting the current common stockholders. As of August 31, 2003, none of these shares has been issued and the outstanding amount of the convertible notes was classified as liabilities. As of December 2, 2002, the Company, Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC ("JGUN"), the placement agent in this offering, and the holders of these notes entered into a settlement agreement providing that the conversion price for these notes shall equal 85% of the two day weighted average trading price of the common stock for the five trading days preceding effective date of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion, provided, that such conversion price cannot be greater than $0.75 or less than $0.40. Effective January 7, 2003, the Company, JGUN, Cameron Chell and the holders of the notes agreed that if this registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to September 1, 2003, the noteholders could "put" their shares of common stock to Mr. Chell at a price of $0.475 per share during the period of December 1 - 14, 2003. By letter dated December 4, 2003, the noteholders agreed to permit the Company until February 28, 2004 to file all required filing and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to amend the period during which they may "put" their shares issuable upon such conversion to Mr. Chell from December 1--14, 2003, to March 1 - 14, 2004, in exchange for the extension of the "put" period and the reduction of the conversion price to $0.25 per share, provided, that, if such deadline was not satisfied by the Company such agreement and reduction of the conversion price would be null and void. By letter, dated February 26, 2004, this deadline and the "put" period were amended to be April 30, 2004 and May 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. By letter, dated April 29, 2004, the Company requested that such deadline and "put" period be further amended to be May 30, 2004 and June 1 - 14, 2004, respectively. The Company believes that, as these notes have been held by the noteholders for an excess of two years, and none of such noteholders are or have been affiliates of the Company during the preceding 90 days, the notes may be converted at any time and the shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion could be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k), and, provided that the Company files all filings and periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act prior to May 31, 2004, these notes shall be mandatorily converted into shares of common stock. On June 11, F-25 2004, the Company again requested that such deadline and "put" period be further extended to be August 10, 2004 and August 11-24, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company proposed that the notes would be automatically converted on the earlier of (i) the date that all annual and quarterly reporting obligations under federal securities laws have been complied with or (ii) July 10, 2004. The conversion price of the notes has been further reduced from $0.25 per share to $0.16 per share. The aggregate number of shares of common stock issued upon such conversion (principal and unpaid accrued interest thru July 11, 2004 [date of new conversion agreement]) would be approximately 29,358,209, representing approximately 67.25% of the common stock outstanding giving effect to such conversion (based upon 14,295,410 shares outstanding at time of filing the August 31, 2003 Form 10-K) . On August 10, 2004, the Company requested such deadline and "put" period be further extended to be September 10, 2004 and September 11-24, 2004, respectively. Effective September 14, 2004, the Company has asked for another extension to October 11, 2004. One noteholder has indicated to the Company that it believes that it has a cause of action against the Company with respect to the foregoing and its rights under such notes, and has threatened to bring such action against the Company. In the event that the Company should be found to be in default of the notes or the related agreements, the Company may be required to repay the notes in the event that a settlement is not reached with the noteholders. In such event the Company does not believe that it currently has the necessary capital available to repay the notes and would be required to seek additional sources of capital or seek protection from creditors. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources". In addition, since this debt is convertible into equity at the option of the note holder at beneficial conversion rates, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt in accordance with EITF 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments." Total cost of beneficial conversion feature of Canadian $6,177,647 is recorded as a discount of the convertible debt which was fully amortized during the year ended August 31, 2002. [iii] On October 3, 2000, the Company closed the sale of a US$3,000,000 (approximately Canadian $4,740,000) Convertible 10% Debenture to the VC Advantage Limited Partnership ("VCALP"). As at August 31, 2001, US$1,700,000 (approximately Canadian $2,635,000) has been advanced to the Company. This unsecured convertible debenture is due three years from issue. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at 10% per annum, payable upon conversion, redemption or maturity. The unpaid principal of the debenture bears interest from the date that it is actually advanced until paid. Interest is payable in cash or stock at our option. The Convertible Debenture is convertible into common stock, at US$3.00 per share, in amounts specified by the VCALP. The maximum number of common shares VCALP will receive is one million. On the close date, the Company also issued 50,000 warrants to purchase 50,000 common shares at US$3.00 per share to VCALP. The warrants have a term of four years. The fair value of these warrants totaling approximately $220,000 was computed using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 1/2 years; (2) volatility of 80% (3) risk free interest of 5.87% and (4) dividend of 0%. The Company can elect to pay the outstanding loan balance in shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of US$3.00 per share. In addition, since this debt is convertible into equity at the option of the note holder at beneficial conversion rates, an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt in accordance with EITF 00-27. Total cost of beneficial conversion feature of $1,728,134 and the relative fair value of the warrants of $220,000 are recorded as a discount of the convertible debentures. During the year ended August 31, 2001, the Company amortized $563,367 as interest expense. On November 30, 2000 the convertible debenture was assigned by VCALP to CALP II Limited Partnership. During the 2002 Third Fiscal Quarter, the convertible debenture held by CALP II Limited Partnership ("CALP II") on behalf of Canadian Advantage Limited Partnership ("CALP") and Advantage (Bermuda) Fund Ltd. ("ABFL") was exchanged for a note payable to CALP in the amount of US$1,365,100 and a note payable to ABFL in the amount of US$504,900. These notes provide for payment of principal and interest at the rate of 10% per annum on August 31, 2006. The notes are secured by a general security agreement against the assets of the Company in priority to all other claims subject to the existing security of the Bank of Montreal and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"). F-26 Effective April 15, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with CALP to convert the principal amount of the note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the rate of US$0.80 pursuant to which CALP received 1,314,000 shares of the Company. CALP will receive an additional 442,145 shares upon the approval of the Company's shareholders. Effective April 15, 2002, the Company also entered into an agreement with ABFL to convert the principal amount of the note plus accrued interest into Common Stock at the rate of US$0.80 pursuant to which ABFL received 486,000 shares of the Company. ABFL will receive an additional 163,533 shares upon the approval of the Company's shareholders. Certain terms of the convertible debt have been changed including the fixed conversion price reduced from $3 to $0.80. During the year ended August 31, 2002, the Company recorded additional discount of $677,216 and amortized $787,294. During the year ended August 31, 2003, the Company recorded additional discount of $0 and amortized $1,000,504. As of August 31, 2003, outstanding balance of this debt net of unamortized discount of $154,424 totaled $2,201,166. As of August 31, 2002, outstanding balance of this debt net of unamortized discount of $1,154,928 totaled $1,360,311. The conversion of the debt has been approved and the debt will be converted from debt to equity upon the filling of the registration statement and issuance of the shares. This convertible debt matured in October 2003, however CALP and ABFL were managed by Thomas Kerrnighan ("TK"), which has declared bankruptcy. The Company has been unable to locate the trustee or obtain contact from any former employee of TK. The debt will remain on the Company's books indefinitely until a settlement can be reached. [iv] LDS agreed to pay $212, 291 payable to HP in regards to the settlement of claims with a discount of $53,073. The loan is payable in monthly installments of $4,423 due on the first day of every month, commencing on May 1, 2003 through April 2007 carrying an interest rate of 0%. This liability has been recorded at its full settlement value since calculation of imputed interest is considered immaterial to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. [v] The Term loan is comprised of the following: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company 2003 2002 =========================================================================== Current Logicorp Data Systems Ltd.

[b] -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 281,824 =========================================================================== [a] Loan bearing interest at Prime plus 1.25% per annum, repayable in monthly principal installments of $6,643 together with interest. Loan is due July 31, 2005. Approximate principal repayments are as follows 2003 -$79,716, 2004-$79,716 and 2005-$73,074. Logicorp accelerated the payments in 2004. [b] Small Business Equipment Loans bearing interest at Prime plus 2.25% per annum. [vi] In November 2001, the Bank of Montreal made available to the Company a Demand loan, non-revolving and/or Fixed Rate Term Loan in the amount of $1,250,000. The loan was for payment of the Matched Fund Term Loan held in the prior year by The Royal Bank of Canada for properties at 10 Meteor Drive and 775 Pacific Road. Borrowings are repayable by blended monthly principal payments of $10,417 and interest based on 10-year term which matures in December 2011. Interest is currently calculated at Prime Rate plus 1.25%. The effective rate at August 31, 2003 was 4.06% (August 2002 - 5.75%). The principal remaining as of August 31, 2003 was $789,583 (August 2002 - $1,166,667). The Company may convert the Demand loan, non-revolving advances in part or in total to a Fixed Rate Term F-27 Loan advances, and may be converted back to Demand loan, non-revolving at maturity of terms. Fixed Rate Term Loan rates are to be determined based on applicable rates at time of draw and the available terms are from 1 to 5 years. The loan is secured by accounts receivables, inventory and equipment of Interactive and GalaVu under a general security agreement. The Demand loan is subject to certain financial covenants and restrictions on additional indebtedness and other related items. On November 21, 2002, pursuant to a Debt and Security Purchase Agreement dated on the 29th day of October, 2002, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, GalaVu, settled the promissory note [the "Note"] issued from the acquisition of substantially all of the property and assets [excluding accounts receivable] of GalaVu. The present value of the Note, discounted at the Company's average borrowing rate (6.5%) amounted to $2,662,698. Arthur Andersen Inc., (the "Assignor") agreed to assign to the Company all of the Assignor's right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Note for the amount of $500,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The purchase price was paid in the following manner: A $150,000 deposit was made upon execution of the agreement and $350,000 was paid at the time of closing. The following is a reconciliation of the gain on settlement of the debt: Loan amount $ 3,300,000 Discount (637,302) ----------------------------------------------------- Discounted loan $ 2,662,698 Payment (500,000) Amortization of discount 370,724 ----------------------------------------------------- Loan at time of settlement $ 2,533,422 Payment for settlement (500,000) Legal Fees 17,793 ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Gain on settlement of debt $ 2,051,215 ===================================================== The $350,000 paid at the time of closing to the Assignor, was financed through a term loan in the principal sum of $375,000. The loan was secured through a second mortgage on our 10 and 14 Meteor Drive properties and a general security agreement on the capital assets of GalaVu. This debt was settled with the sale of GalaVu; the $375,000 debt was repaid and then re-issued to Chell Group Corporation in the amount of $325,000. The $325,000 bears interest at a rate of 13% and matures on November 25, 2003 and the monthly payments are for interest only. The loan was extended in November 2003, to a maturity date of December 15, 2003. The loan was repaid with the proceeds from the sale of 14 Meteor Drive (see Note 6). [vii] In May 2002, the Company completed a private equity raise for $456,286 Cdn ($290,000 US). The shares were priced at a $1, thus resulting in 290,000 shares to be issued. At the end of the August 2002, the Company had not yet issued the shares and thus a loan payable was created until the time at which the Company would issue the shares. The Company issued the shares on October 18, 2002 and the loan has been decreased by the corresponding share capital entries required. [viii] In December 2002, the three former shareholders of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. and Logicorp Service Group Ltd. advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $200,000 each, totaling $600,000. These advances were due on demand and did not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on these advances at a rate of 9%. During the year ended August 31, 2003, one of the advances was fully repaid and total payments of approximately $110,000 have been paid against the remaining advances. [ix] The retirement compensation trusts ("RCA's") were set up pursuant to section 248(1) of the Income Tax Act of Canada to provide retirement income to the three individuals who owned Logicorp. Pursuant to the original and amended purchase agreements of Logicorp, the Company will make monthly payments including interest in various amounts through December 2005. The loan carries an interest rate of prime plus 4.75% (8.0% at August 31, 2003, 8.75% at August 31, 2002). The original repayment terms have not been met, but the determination of breach lies with the individual trustees appointed to monitor each individual's loan to the Company. The trustee of the former LDS President has demanded full F-28 payment and is part of the lawsuit (Note 12). The trustee for the other former Logicorp owners are accepting of the current payment terms of $9,750, which repay the principal and interest components of personal loans that each party had taken to finance their loans to the Company. No lump sum payments have been made on the RCA's and no further agreements have been made for a lump sum payment. Through our bank we currently make cash payments monthly to offset interest and payment incurred on the primaries loans for the money they loaned back to Logicorp. This constitutes the repayments we make against the RCA's. The RCA's then increase by the interest component the primaries charge us for the loans. [x] 1) During the year ended August 31, 2003, B.O.T.B., a company controlled by Cameron Chell, advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $820,000, and during the period of September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004, advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $318,144. The advances are unsecured, due on demand and do not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on the advances at a rate of 9% per annum. As of August 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of such advances was $1,138,144. 2) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company began negotiations to adjust the purchase price of Logicorp due to an investigation of claims filed by Logicorp owed by Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd. ("HP"). As a result, the purchase price for Logicorp has been amended, the issuance of exchangeable common shares has been decreased by 2,000,000 to 3,355,000 (from 5,355,000 originally) and the second promissory note of $500,000 has been cancelled. This has resulted in a balance of $200,000 still owed which is classified as a loan payable, related party on the August 31, 2003 and 2002 balance sheet. In addition, a historical audit of Logicorp resulted in significant restatement issues which resulted in combined negative book values of ($2,074,567) as of December 31, 2001 (the date immediately prior to acquisition date). The purchase price has been adjusted for these events (see Note 13). The loan remains outstanding as the loan and the shares issued to a former President of LDS are subject to a suit and countersuit regarding the former President of LDS. The loan bears no interest and interest is not being accrued as the company does not view the loan as owed. Interest charges, if any, are pending the settlement of the lawsuit. On January 27, 2003, a former President of LDS, filed a wrongful dismissal claim against LDS and the Company. A round of examinations for discovery has been held and preparation of the affidavit of records is underway. Further discoveries were held during the week of September 8, 2003. The Company's counsel has determined that it is too early in the process to evaluate the merits of the case. The Company has not accrued any liabilities related to this claim as of August 31, 2003. The Company has filed a counter-suit stating that the former President was fraudulent in his representation to the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of LDS (see Note 12). [xi] The Company's subsidiary CMCG purchased Logicorp (see note 13[a]) for an adjusted number of shares 3,355,000 (from 5,355,000 originally). The shares were exchangeable into Company shares at inception; the fair value of the shares issued was determined by using an average trading price of the Company's common stock for a reasonable period before and after the acquisition date, in accordance with SFAS 141 "Business Combinations". These shares of CMCG are exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company. The election to exchange is not subject to or contingent on any future events or conditions and is solely at the option of the sellers. The value of the shares is $4,852,976 and bears no interest. The shares have not been issued. The long-term debt consists of the HP loan (8[iv]), the Term loan (8[v]) and the RCA trusts (8[ix]). Future annual principal payments for long-term debt are as follows: ----------------------------------------------------- Years ended August 31, 2004 $1,305,301 2005 53,073 2006 53,073 2007 7,246 2008 -- Thereafter -- ----------------------------------------------------- 1,418,693 ===================================================== F-29 Current and non-current portions of long-term debt are presented as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 =========================================================================== Current Term Loan (v) 1,470 128,994 RCA Trust (ix) 1,250,758 741,154 HP Loan (iv) 53,073 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current portion 1,305,301 870,148 Non-current Term Loan (v) -- 152,790 RCA Trust (ix) -- 686,522 HP Loan (iv) 113,392 212,291 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-current portion 113,392 1,051,603 =========================================================================== 9. COMMITMENTS [a] Commissions expense to NTN Communications, Inc. Pursuant to an agreement dated March 23, 1990, Interactive pays commissions to NTN Communications, Inc. when the related revenues are earned at the rate of U.S. $2,205 per year per subscriber. Interactive also pays NTN Communications, Inc. a royalty fee equal to 25% of the net revenues as defined in the agreement derived from all services except for certain hospitality and special projects that existed at March 23, 1990; a royalty fee equal to the production quotation submitted by NTN Communications, Inc. plus 10% of the gross profit of special projects [special broadcasts for a non-continuous selective event]; and a one-time royalty fee equal to NTN Communications, Inc.'s production costs for any new programming developed by Interactive to be added to the existing programming schedule. The agreement expires on December 31, 2015. The Company sold certain assets and liabilities to NTN Communications, Inc. effective December 15, 2003 (see Note 4). Total amounts expensed under this agreement were $1,502,370 for 2003, $1,770,275 for 2002 and $1,865,675 for 2001. [b] Lease commitments During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, Chell Merchant Capital Group ("CMCG") leased 12,043 square feet of office space in Suites 301, 500 and 700 in a building located at 630 - 8th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta, T2P 1G6. The combined annual rent of the three suites was Cdn$199,000. Effective October 2002, we subleased this space to unaffiliated third parties upon the discontinuation of the operations of CMCG for Cdn$144,000 per annum, plus taxes. The lease and sublease agreements expire on January 31, 2005. Our obligations, less applicable taxes, under this lease and sublease agreement are outlined as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Years ended August 31, Lease agreement Sublease income Our obligation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 199,000 (144,000) 55,000 2005 82,917 (60,000) 22,917 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 281,917 (204,000) 77,917 ============================================================================== Logicorp leases approximately 17,502 square feet in Edmonton, 11,800 square feet in Calgary and approximately 4,500 square feet in Vancouver for approximately annual rent of $220,350, $115,640 and $62,300 respectively. The leases expire as follows: Edmonton - December 2006, Calgary - July 31, 2012, and Vancouver - March 31, 2007. These leases are included in the future minimum lease table that follows. F-30 The future minimum for all annual lease payments under operating leases are as follows: Years ended August 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 2004 $ 394,650 2005 343,068 2006 366,669 2007 268,556 2008 and beyond 750,200 ----------------------------------------------------- $2,123,143 ===================================================== Operating lease expenses were $682,084 for 2003, $682,084 for 2002, and $398,073 for 2001. [c] Employment agreements Effective August 16, 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Stephen McDermott, pursuant to which Mr. McDermott will serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer for a period of one year. The contracted salary is US$120,000(Cdn$183,288). Mr. McDermott resigned his position effective May 7, 2004. We do not have any other employment agreements in effect with any other executive employee. 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY [a] AUTHORIZED SHARES The Company's authorized share capital comprises 50,000,000 common shares (increased from 20,000,000 shares on February 28, 2001), with a par value of $0.068 [U.S. $0.0467] per share and 1,500,000 non-cumulative Series B preferred shares with a par value of $0.016 [U.S. $0.010] per share. The Series B preferred shares are voting and convertible such that 3 preferred shares are exchangeable for 1 common share, at the option of the holders. [b] ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES Common shares outstanding at August 31, 2003 and 2002 were 10,795,410 and 10,504,913, respectively. At August 31, 2003, there are 454,545 Series B convertible preferred shares issued and outstanding that have a par value of US$0.01 per share (454,545 August 31, 2002). There is a limitation on the conversion feature whereby preferred shares are not convertible if the conversion would result in the holder owning more than 5% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. As of September 14, 2004, the maximum number of shares the preferred shares can be converted to is 714,771, which is 5% of the total shares outstanding. In May 2002, the Company completed a private equity raise for $456,286 Cdn ($290,000 US). The shares were priced at a $1, thus resulting in 290,000 shares to be issued. At the end of the August 2002, the Company had not yet issued the shares and thus a loan payable was created until the time at which the Company would issue the shares. The Company issued the shares on October 18, 2002. [c] RESERVED FOR FUTURE ISSUANCES As of December 29, 2003, the Company has reserved 3,822,073 common shares for future issuance. This is comprised of 319,231 options outstanding as of August 31, 2003 and 3,502,842 warrants, of which 466,342 were outstanding as of August 31, 2003. F-31 [d] WARRANTS OUTSTANDING The Company has the following warrants outstanding:

11. LOSS PER SHARE Loss per share was calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the years ended August 31:

During the year ended August 31, 2003, 290,000 common shares were issued. No preferred shares or warrants were issued. At August 31, 2003, options to purchase 319,231 common shares, warrants to purchase 466,342 common shares and convertible preferred to 539,771 commons shares were outstanding. These securities were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the year ended August 31, 2002, 454,545 Series B preferred shares were issued. In addition, at August 31, 2002, options to purchase 1,543,840 common shares and warrants to purchase 466,342 common shares were outstanding. These securities were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive. F-32 At August 31, 2001, 900,000 preferred shares convertible to 300,000 common shares were exercised and are no longer outstanding. In addition, at August 31, 2001, options to purchase 1,325,000 common shares and warrants to purchase 50,000 common shares were outstanding. These securities were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation because the effect would be anti-dilutive. 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES On January 27, 2003, a former President of LDS, filed a wrongful dismissal claim against LDS and the Company. A round of examinations for discovery has been held and preparation of the affidavit of records is underway. Further discoveries were held during the week of September 8, 2003. The Company's counsel has determined that it is too early in the process to evaluate the merits of the case. The Company has not accrued any liabilities related to this claim as of August 31, 2003. The Company has filed a counter-suit stating that the former President was fraudulent in his representation to the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of LDS. In June 2001, a former employee filed a wrongful dismissal claim against LDS. Subsequently the employee offered to settle for which LDS rejected. No further action has taken place since October 2001 and accordingly, LDS believes it will prevail and has not accrued any liabilities on the accompanying financial statements related to this claim. On June 12, 1992, the Company filed a lawsuit against an unrelated company, Interactive Network Inc. of Mountain view, California, U.S.A. and its president. The suit seeks a non-infringement declaration with respect to a Canadian patent. This action was discontinued on September 9, 1998. On June 18, 1992, Interactive Network Inc., (Interactive) commenced a lawsuit against us, NTN Communications and our NTN subsidiary in the Federal Court of Canada, Trial Division, Montreal, Quebec, under the title INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC. v. NTN COMMUNICATIONS, INC., NTN SPORTS, INC. AND NTN CANADA, INC. This action alleges that Interactive granted NTN Communications the right to use the Interactive Patent, which right Communications then improperly licensed to our NTN subsidiary and us. Interactive alleges that the license agreement between NTN Communications and our NTN subsidiary and us infringes upon the Interactive Patent. The action seeks a declaration of the validity of the Interactive Patent, an injunction restraining us from further infringement, and either damages (in an unspecified amount) or an accounting of profits derived from certain games used in Canada. Except for the aforementioned pleadings, no proceedings or discovery have been undertaken in this action. We believe that the licenses granted to us by NTN Communications are valid and that the patent infringement claims underlying this action will ultimately be proven to be unfounded. We intend to vigorously defend our position and to prosecute the Interactive position in the action; however, there can be no assurance that any or all of these actions will be decided in favor of us. We believe, based in part upon the advice of outside, independent counsel, that the costs of defending and prosecuting these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial position. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, NTN Communications stated that "[w]ith the courts [SIC] assistance, [Communications] and [Interactive] have been able to reach a resolution of all pending disputes in the United States and have agreed to private arbitration regarding any future licensing, copyright or infringement issues which may arise between the parties." The disputes referred to in the NTN Communications Form 10-Q involved litigation in the United States involving allegations similar to the allegations underlying the actions between Interactive and us. In the NTN Communication Form 10-Q, NTN Communications also noted that "no substantive action has been taken in the furtherance of" the Company Action or Interactive Action. Canada Customs and Revenue Agency is currently in discussions with the Company regarding a potential liability with respect to withholding tax on certain amounts paid to Communications. An assessment of approximately $550,000 has been made to date by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and the Company has filed a notice of objection. Management and counsel believe that it has valid defenses with respect to these matters and, accordingly, no amount has been F-33 recorded in these consolidated financial statements. In the event that such matters are settled in favor of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, the amounts could be material and would be recorded in the period in which they became determinable. In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain operating assets and liabilities of NTN Interactive Network Inc. to NTN Communications. As part of the agreement, NTN Communications will assume the liabilities related to this claim, if any. In May 2002, a former consultant filed a claim against CMCG. The consultant claims that he is owed commissions, options and expenses related to his time working at Interlynx. The consultant has offered to settle for which CMCG has rejected. CMCG believes that firstly, it is not responsible for a lawsuit against Interlynx and secondly, that the consultants claims are unjustified. This lawsuit is scheduled for trial at the end of October, 2004. CMCG believes it will prevail and has not accrued liabilities on the accompanying financial statements related to this claim. The Company and its subsidiaries are not a party or subject to any other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. To the knowledge of management no other proceedings of a material nature have been or are contemplated against the Company. 13. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS [a] PURCHASE OF LOGICORP DATA SYSTEMS LTD., LOGICORP SERVICE GROUP LTD., 123557 ALBERTA LTD. AND 591360 ALBERTA LTD. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. ("LDS"), Logicorp Service Group Ltd., 123557 Alberta Ltd. and 591360 Alberta Ltd. (collectively "Logicorp") for a collective purchase price of $13,879,686. Logicorp is a Canadian systems integrator handling all aspects of IT systems integration and solutions development, including network integration and management, desktop support, hardware/software procurement, systems architecture design and consulting. Systems Integration is an area of business in which the Company can offer systems solutions to companies of various sizes. These solutions can be through the delivery and installation of computer hardware solutions; through offering services to companies to aid in their business processes or infrastructures or through personalized solutions aided for growing technology with their organization. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated as set out below: $ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodwill (see below for discussion on amended purchase price and impairment) 13,429,307 Accounts receivable 8,252,652 Inventory 738,081 Fixed assets 2,366,038 Other current assets 783,932 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (8,800,327) Other current liabilities (2,889,997) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13,879,686 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The purchase price was satisfied by $1,500,000 in cash, the issuance of two non-interest bearing promissory notes with a maturity value of $2,300,000 (see Note 8[xi]) and the issuance of 5,355,000 shares of CMCG which had a fair value approximating $10,000,000. As the shares were exchangeable into Company shares at inception, the fair value of the shares issued was determined by using an average trading price of the Company's common stock for a reasonable period before and after the acquisition date, in accordance with SFAS 141 "Business Combinations". These shares of CMCG are exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company. The election to exchange is not subject to or contingent on any future events or conditions and is solely at the option of the sellers. The first promissory note with a maturity value of $1,800,000 was due June 30, 2002. Prior to payment of the first promissory note, the Company had the option to adjust the purchase price by substituting the $1,800,000 note for an interest-free promissory note in the amount of $2,040,000 one half of which would be due June 30, 2002 and the second half would be due December 31, 2002. The Company did not make this election and paid the $1,800,000 promissory note in cash. The second promissory note has a maturity value of $500,000 and was initially due March 31, 2003. F-34 In addition, the purchase price may be adjusted upwards because the Company is required to pay an amount by which the earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of Logicorp exceeds $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The purchase price may be adjusted downward by three times the amount that EBITDA for this period is less than $1,000,000. The purchase price could be further adjusted on June 30, 2002, in the event that the weighted average closing stock price of the Company's common shares for the 10 trading days prior to June 30, 2002 was less than US$1.00. The weighted average closing stock price was greater than US$1.00 during this period and accordingly, no adjustment to the purchase price was required. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company began negotiations to adjust the purchase price of Logicorp due to an investigation of claims filed by Logicorp owed by Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd. ("HP"). As a result, the purchase price for Logicorp has been amended, the issuance of exchangeable common shares has been decreased by 2,000,000 to 3,355,000 (from 5,355,000 originally) and the second promissory note of $500,000 has been cancelled. This has resulted in a balance of $200,000 still owed which is classified as a loan payable, related party on the August 31, 2003 and 2002 balance sheet. In addition, a historical audit of Logicorp resulted in significant restatement issues which resulted in combined negative book values of ($2,074,567) as of December 31, 2001 (the date immediately prior to acquisition date). The purchase price has been adjusted for these events. For financial reporting purposes, goodwill is being allocated to the integrated systems segment. For tax purposes, all of the goodwill is expected to be deductible. The following is the revised purchase price allocation which was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002: AMENDED PURCHASE PRICE $ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Goodwill (see below for discussion on impairment) 10,489,549 Accounts receivable 7,754,995 Inventory 377,016 Fixed assets 743,118 Other current assets 489,817 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (6,056,814) Line of credit (3,119,979) Other current liabilities (1,401,728) Long Term debt (861,425) ---------------------------------------------------------------- 8,414,549 ---------------------------------------------------------------- As a result of the financial statement restatement issue discussed above, and in addition to the significant operating losses incurred by the Logicorp entities subsequent to the acquisition date, management of the Company has determined that an impairment of goodwill had occurred as of August 31, 2002. Accordingly, the $10,489,549 was written off in its entirety effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. The operating results of Logicorp are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition (January 1, 2002). Pro forma information (Unaudited) The following pro forma information on results of operations assumes that Logicorp was purchased at the beginning of each period presented.

F-35 The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of that time, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. [b] PURCHASE OF ETELLIGENT SOLUTIONS INC. Effective June 1, 2002, Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. acquired 100% of the shares of eTelligent Solutions Inc. ("eTelligent"), for a purchase price of $165,000 which was payable as follows: $75,000 was paid at the date of closing and the balance is to be paid by four interest free promissory notes due on the following dates: $22,500 payable on March 1, 2003, June 1, 2003, September 1, 2003 and January 1, 2004. The purchase price may be adjusted downward dollar for dollar by the amount that the earnings before taxes of eTelligent from June 1, 2002 until October 31, 2003 is less than $245,000. However, the purchase price cannot be less than $150,000. The purchase price may be adjusted upward eighty cents for every dollar that eTelligent's earnings before taxes exceed $245,000 from June 1, 2002 until October 31, 2003. The purchase price may be further adjusted: a. By any increase in the Loans above $75,000 b. By any increase in the eTelligent line of credit before June 1, 2002 above $135,000, or c. If the Term Loan was increased above $65,000 before June 1, 2002 The operating results related to the acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. Pro-forma information has not been provided for the prior years because it is not material. F-36 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates in the entertainment, education and merchant services industries. Reportable segments have been identified by the Company due to differences in the services of the systems integration, entertainment, education and merchant services industries. Corporate relates to costs that are not associated with a specific industry segment, but are required for the operations of the Company. The Company assigns any goodwill from acquisitions to the segment in which the acquisition occurred. Currently the only goodwill the company has is associated with the purchase of eTelligent which is in the systems integration segment. In Fiscal 2002, the goodwill impairment of $10,489,549 associated with the purchase of Logicorp was expensed to the systems integration segment. Business segment information for the years ended August 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

Operating profit (loss) is equal to profit (loss) before income taxes and minority interest, and includes deductions for items such as interest and depreciation and amortization. Identifiable assets by industry are those assets used in our operations in each industry. Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and intangible assets. Our business segment revenues are all generated primarily between customers in Canada and the United States. F-37 The 2002 and 2001 comparative segment information has been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the 2003 segment information. 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Payable to /Due from Shareholders Included in shareholders' deficit is $nil at August 31, 2003, and $227,365 at August 31, 2002, of amounts due from shareholders. $202,279 due from and $1,066,043 payable to, was advanced during the years ended August 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due on demand and have been reclassified to payables. Loans During the year ended August 31, 2003, B.O.T.B., a company controlled by Cameron Chell, advanced Logicorp Data Systems Ltd. $820,000, and during the period of September 1, 2003 through April 30, 2004, advanced Logicorp Data Systems $567,399. The advances are due on demand and do not carry a stated interest rate. The Company has imputed interest on the advances at a rate of 9% per annum. As of April 30, 2004, the aggregate amount of such advances was $1,387,399. 16. RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [a] DISCOUNT ON CONVERTIBLE DEBT (FISCAL 2001 RESTATEMENT) On October 3, 2000, the Company closed the sale of a $4,740,000 (US$3,000,000) Convertible 10% Debenture of which $2,635,000 (US$1,700,000) has been advanced. EITF-00-27 requires the debt to be discounted resulting from any beneficial conversion feature. The Company did not book the discount on the debt and therefore had to make an adjustment to the Fiscal 2001 financial statements. As a result, the Company has now recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,728,134 and has amortized $563,367 for the year ended August 31, 2001. There were warrants associated with the debt and the Company recognized a $220,000 cost associated with these warrants. The Company had previously expensed $77,215 and recorded $175,491 in other assets, for which both amounts have now been reversed out completely because a portion of the proceeds has been allocated to the value of the warrants. The following table presents the impact for each of the restatements in fiscal 2001: As Previously As Restated in Reported 10-K/A for 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2001 Balance sheet: Other Assets 388,802 212,541 Long-term debt 5,884,339 4,523,822 Share Capital Capital in excess of par value 14,143,533 15,849,971 Deficit (12,499,514) (13,020,928) Statement of operations: Selling, general and administration 16,250,171 16,181,604 [a] Interest and bank charges 881,398 1,471,379 [a] Net loss (9,622,841) (11,747,639) EPS Basic and diluted loss per share $ 1.34 $ 1.40 [a] before discontinued operations presentation in 2002 10-K. F-38 17. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other investees in which the Company exercises significant influence are recorded on the equity method, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses. Investments carried on the equity method of accounting during 2002 and 2001 were as follows (there were no investments in and advances to unconsolidated subsidiaries for 2003): Percent Owned cDemo Inc. (written off in 2001) 14.3% Engyro Inc. (written off in 2001) 22.1% Wareforce Inc. (written off in 2002; see Note 18) $176,518 At August 31, 2002, the investment in Wareforce Inc. was deemed to be permanently impaired and has been written off to loss on disposal of investment/property in the statement if operations for 2002. At August 31, 2001, the Company's proportionate share of undistributed losses for cDemo Inc. and Engyro Inc. exceeded its investment and advances by $301,100. Accordingly, the Company's investment has been reduced to zero and $301,100 has been recorded as an expense in the statement of operations in 2001. In addition, due to dilution in the cDemo Inc. and Engyro Inc., our current position is not greater than 5%. The percent owned in the above table represents the position owned at the date the investment was written off in the noted Fiscal Year. 18. LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF INVESTMENT/PROPERTY On November 22, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Chell.com Ltd. to participate in the purchase of a 51% interest in the shares of ApplicationStation.com, Inc. The Company has provided a deposit of $1,661,622 to Chell.com Ltd. for its 25% share of the 51% interest in the shares of ApplicationStation.com, Inc. The purchase transaction did not close. A demand for repayment has been sent to Chell.com Ltd. It does not appear that the deposit will be recoverable. It has therefore been written off in the 2002 Fiscal Year. At August 31, 2002, the $176,518 investment in Wareforce Inc. was deemed to be permanently impaired and has been written off in the statement if operations for 2002. F-39 19. QUARTERLY INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) The summarized quarterly financial data presented below reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are of a normal and recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods presented.

F-40 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS [a] SALE OF BUILDINGS AND LAND During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 25,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 14 Meteor Drive in Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 12,500 square foot, one story building. On December 19, 2003, we sold this land and building to an unrelated third party for approximately $730,000 and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $100,000. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, we owned an approximately 29,000 square foot parcel of land, located at 10 Meteor Drive, Toronto, Ontario, on which stands a 14,000 square foot, two story building. We sold this land and building to an unrelated party on March 7, 2004 for approximately $710,000. The Company anticipates a gain of approximately $70,000. [b] RESIGNATION OF STEPHEN MCDERMOTT (CEO) Effective April 28, 2004, Stephen McDermott resigned his posts of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Dave Bolink, current Board Member has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. [c] SALE OF LOGICORP Effective August 8, 2004, the Company's previously wholly-owned subsidiaries, Logicorp Data Systems Inc., and Logicorp Service Group Inc. (together, "Logicorp") issued common shares to NewMarket Technologies ("NewMarket"), a publicly-traded company for $2.1 million USD, such that NewMarket holds 51% of the outstanding equity securities of Logicorp. In exchange for 51% of these subsidiaries, NewMarket will pay Logicorp $1.1 million in cash at closing. An additional $1.0 million will be paid to Logicorp according to the terms of a $1.0 million, 24-month promissory note. As a result of this transaction, the Company holds the remaining 49% of the outstanding shares of Logicorp. Twelve (12) months following the first anniversary of the purchase of the 51% interest, if Logicorp has achieved annual sales of at least $18,000,000 with at least a breakeven profit, Chell Group will have an option to require NewMarket to acquire the remaining 49% of the sellers remaining stock for a purchase price of $1,900,000 to be paid in NewMarket stock with piggyback registration rights. NewMarket will have an equal right to require the sale of Chell Group's remaining 49% stock position in Logicorp under the same performance conditions. [d]1109822 ALBERTA INC. Subsequent to year end, on May 26, 2004, the Company founded a new Canadian subsidiary corporation, 1109822 Alberta Ltd. This wholly-owned subsidiary was created to act as a holding company for investments in various sectors, including electronic payment processing. 1109822 Alberta Ltd. has purchased 33 Units of a Canadian limited partnership, Tech Income Limited Partnership 1 ("Tech Income") for CDN$495,000 (approximately US$390,000 at current exchange rates). Tech Income was founded in early 2004 with the objective of building products and services to compete in the growing online payment processing industry. Tech Income is currently carrying on business as "Broker Payment Systems" or "BPS". This is an electronic payment transfer system which facilitates payments and transfers of funds securely and in real time to and from equity brokerage firms for investing clients. BPS is currently marketing this system in the United States. Management of the Company (and its subsidiary) believes that the Chell Group can better profit from the expected growth in this sector by pooling resources with Tech Income (and its existing product offering) rather than by moving into this area alone. The most recent information provided to us by Tech Income (as at September 15, 2004) shows that 1109822 Alberta Ltd. holds approximately 32% of Tech Income's issued and outstanding units. This position may be diluted as Tech Income continues to sell units to other investors. The Company expects to account for this under the equity method of accounting. F-41 Broker Payment Management Inc., which works with Tech Income in distributing the BPS products and services, has been invested in directly by the Company ($495,000 Cdn was advance on June 18, 2004). Chell Group currently (as at September 15, 2004) holds approximately 19% of Broker Payment Management Inc.'s equity shares. The Company expects to account for this under the cost method of accounting.
