DEVINE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Devine Entertainment Corporation ("the Company") is an integrated
developer and producer of children's and family programs for worldwide
television and film broadcast and home video markets.
Television and film production and distribution is highly speculative and
inherently risky. There can be no assurance of the economic success of
such television and film programming since the revenues derived from the
production and distribution (which do not necessarily bear a direct
correlation to the production or distribution costs incurred) depend
primarily upon their acceptance by the public. Furthermore, the industry
has long operating cycles which require cash injections into new projects
significantly ahead of the delivery and exploitation of the final
production.
The success of the Company's television and film programming also may be
impacted by, among other factors, prevailing advertising rates, which are
subject to fluctuation. Therefore, there is a substantial risk that some
or all of the Company's television projects will not be commercially
successful, resulting in costs not being recouped or anticipated profits
not being realized.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting
principles applicable to a going concern, which presumes the realization
of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations
in the foreseeable future.
While the Company continues to maintain its day-to-day activities and
produce and distribute films and television programming, it has a
significant working capital deficiency and its continued existence is
dependent upon its ability to restore and maintain profitable operations
and to successfully extinguish loans payable (Note 9), which are currently
in default. Management is in constant communication with the loan holders
and expects that the Company will be able to settle the loans in the
normal course of operations. Nonetheless, the Company remains unable to
service this loan and the Company will require additional working capital
from its production activities or corporate financing in 2008.
The Company is pursuing various financing initiatives; however, there is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in its financing efforts
and in achieving sufficient cash flows from operating activities. If the
Company is unsuccessful, the Company may be required to significantly
reduce or limit operations. The application of the going concern basis is
dependent upon the

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)
Company obtaining additional financing to fund its continuing operations
and meet its obligations as they come due.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial
statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and the reported net income.
2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is restating its previously reported consolidated financial
statements for the 3 months ended March 31, 2007. A summary of the impact
of the restatement adjustments on the previously reported consolidated
balance sheet, statement of operations and cash flows amounts is as
follows:
Summary of Restatement Adjustments
a) The Company has determined that the previously filed financial
statements for the 3 month period ended March 31, 2007 contained
errors resulting from the incorrect accounting related to interest
for the Company's Investment in film, television programs and
recordings. The interest income was incorrectly accounted for and
should not have been included in the results for the period ended
March 31, 2007. In addition, the transaction should have been
accounted for and was addressed in the December 31, 2007 financial
statements.
The Company has restated the interest income from interest expense
(income). The restatement amounts to $30,312. As a result accrued
liabilities increased by $30,312 and net income decreased by $30,312
for the 3 months ended March 31, 2007. The deficit increased by
$30,312.
b) The company restated its preferred shares from an equity component
to a liability as it was determined that under the CICA Handbook
Section 3861, and following the guidance under EIC-149. The
preferred shares are redeemable, retractable and have a preferential
priority participation in the residual equity of the company,
accordingly preferred shares have been restated as a liability. The
effect of the restatement resulted in a reclassification from
preferred shares in the equity section of the balance sheet in the
amount of $494,550 to preferred shares in the liability section in
the amount of $494,550. This change was reflected in the Company's
December 31, 2007 financial statements. Accordingly dividends

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP").
Note 21 describes and reconciles the significant measurement differences
between Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP)
and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US
GAAP") affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements. A
summary of significant accounting principles is set below:

(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is derived from broadcast licensing agreements, royalties,
distribution fees, the sale of distribution rights, sale of
copyright interests and the sale of home videos. All revenue is
recognized upon meeting all recognition requirements of Statement of
Position of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("SOP 00-2"). Revenue from the sale of film and television
programming rights and license arrangements is recognized only when
persuasive evidence of a sale or arrangement with a customer exists,
the film is complete and the contractual delivery arrangements have
been satisfied, the license period has commenced, the arrangement
fee is fixed or determinable, collection of the arrangement fee is
reasonably assured, and other conditions as specified in the
respective agreements have been met.
Revenue from broadcast licensing agreements, together with related
costs, and revenue from the sale of copyright interests are
recognized once the licensing periods have commenced, the programs
are delivered and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue from royalties is recognized when reported by the licensee
and collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue from the sale of distribution rights is recognized when the
film or television programs are substantially complete, the
investors have irrevocably committed to acquire distribution rights
and there is reasonable assurance of the collectability of proceeds.
Revenue from the sale of home videos and DVD's are recognized at the
time of shipment and collection is reasonably assured.
Amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until
the revenue recognition criteria are met.
(b) Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Devine Entertainment Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Across the River Productions and across the River II Productions as
well as Variable Interest Entities ("VIE"). All inter-company
transactions have been eliminated.

DEVINE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company adheres to the Canadian Institute of Chartered
accountants' (CICA) Accounting Guideline 15 (AcG-15), "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities" ("VIE"). AcG-15 is substantially
similar to the Financial Accounting Standards Board interpretation
No.46R ("FIN 46R") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities".
AcG-15 provides guidance that addresses when a company should
consolidate in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and
operating results of another entity. Under previous guidance, a
company generally included another entity in its consolidated
financial statements only if it controlled the entity through a
controlling voting interest. AcG-15 requires a VIE to be
consolidated by the Company if that company is the primary
beneficiary of that entity.
Accordingly, the Company has included the results of operations of
certain limited partnerships.
(c) Inventory
The Company's inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at
the lower of cost and net realizable value. Finished goods are
comprised mainly of DVD's, videos teachers guides of previously
released productions for resale through various distribution
channels.
(d) Investment in Film, Television Programs and Recordings
In accordance with SOP 00-2, Investment in film, television programs
and recordings represent projects in progress and the unamortized
costs of film, television programs and recordings, net of federal
and provincial film production tax credits, which have been produced
by the Company or for which the Company has acquired a copyright
interest or the rights to future revenue. Such costs include
development and production expenditures, capitalized overhead and
financing costs and other costs, which are expected to benefit
future periods. Exploitation costs, including advertising and
marketing costs, are being expensed as incurred. The Company also
has an interest in programs, which have been fully amortized in
prior years and have no carrying value in these financial
statements.
Projects in progress include the costs of acquiring film rights to
original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects. Such costs
are capitalized and, upon commencement of production, are added to
investment in film, television programs, and recordings. Advances or
contributions received

from third parties to assist in development are deducted from these
costs. If the property under development has not been set for
production within three years, or if upon review management
determines that certain costs are unrecoverable, the costs
associated with such property are written off to income.
Amortization is determined based on the ratio that current gross
film revenues bear to management's estimate of total remaining
ultimate gross film revenue as of the beginning of the current
fiscal year on a program by program basis (the "individual film
forecast method"). Revenue and film carrying costs are continually
reviewed by management and revised when warranted by changing
conditions. When estimates of total revenues and costs indicate that
a feature film or television program will result in an ultimate
loss, a reduction in the carrying value of the investment is
recognized to the extent that capitalized film costs exceed
estimated fair value. Such adjustments could have a material effect
on the results of operations in future periods.
Production financing provided by third parties that acquire
substantive equity participation is recorded as a reduction of costs
of the production.
Capitalized film costs are stated at the lower of unamortized cost
or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. Fair market
value is based on the discounted projected net cash flows. The
determination of the projected net cash flows and discount rates are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgement by management.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase. Cash and Cash equivalents are held in three major
financial institutions located in Canada.

(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization. Amortization is being provided for on the declining
balance basis at the following annual rates.
Computer and editing equipment - 30%
Furniture and fixtures - 20%
(g) Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than
Canadian dollars are translated at year-end exchange rates. Revenue,
expenses and film production costs are translated at the exchange
rates in effect at the times of the transactions. The gains or
losses resulting from these translations are reflected in the
consolidated statements of operations.
(h) Government and Other Assistance
The Company has access to various government programs, including
refundable film and television tax credits that are designed to
assist film, television programs and recordings production and
distribution in Canada. Refundable tax credits are recorded as a
reduction of the cost of related films. Tax credits are recognized
when there is reasonable assurance that the amount claimed will be
received.
(i) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments using the fair
value based method. The Company grants stock options for a fixed
number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the
fair value of the shares at the date of grant, and vesting
immediately. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the
stock-based compensation plan when stock or stock options are
issued. Any consideration received from employees on exercise of
stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital and
the fair value of stock options is transferred from contributed
surplus to share capital.

(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For stock based compensation issued to non employees, the
Corporation recognizes an expense based on the fair value of the
equity instrument issued.
(j) Future Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for
income taxes. The asset and liability method requires that income
taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities
and their tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply
when the asset is realized or the liability settled. When the
realization of a future tax asset is determined to not be more
likely than not realized, a valuation allowance is provided
(k) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with Section 3500
("Earnings per Share") of the CICA Handbook, which directs that the
treasury stock and if-converted method be used to calculate diluted
earnings per share.
Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive impact of the
exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants, and conversion of
preferred shares, as if the events had occurred at the beginning of
the period or at a time of issuance, if later. Diluted loss per
share is not presented when the effect would be anti dilutive.
(l) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles and United States Generally
accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on
assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the
use of significant judgment include the measurement of ultimate
revenue related to future revenues from film distribution,
amortization of Investment in film, television programs and
recordings, valuation of stock compensation, inventory,
recoverability of tax credits and estimation of future income tax
assets,

valuation allowances and other project related accruals. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are
reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are
reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
(m) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-Lived Assets, Including property and equipment, Investments in
Films, Television programs and recordings are reviewed for
impairment on an annual basis at year end or when significant events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the
assets is greater than the undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be provided by the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any,
which is in excess of net carrying value over fair value, is charged
to income for the period. Fair value is generally measured equal to
the estimated future discounted net cash from the asset.
(n) Deferred Revenue
Revenue received from sales of rights and licences related to
projects in progress is recorded as deferred revenue until revenue
recognition parameters have been met.
(o) Basis of Presentation
The Company is presenting its balance sheet as an unclassified
balance sheet as its normal operating cycle is more than one year.
(p) Adoption of new accounting policies
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the recommendations
of the CICA Handbook Sections 1530, Comprehensive Income; 3251,
Equity; 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement;
Section 3861, Financial Instruments - Measurement, Disclosure and
Presentation; and Section 3865, Hedges. As required by the
standards, the change in policies have been applied retrospectively
with no restatement to prior periods.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
i. Comprehensive Income: Section 1530 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income. Unrealized
gains or losses on available-for-sale investments, and the
effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives designated
as cash flow hedges and hedges of the net investment in
self-sustaining foreign operations are included in other
comprehensive income ("OCI" and accumulated other
comprehensive income ("AOCI") is included as a separate
component of equity. The Company had no such OCI or loss
transactions for the year ended December 31, 2007 and there
were no opening or closing balances for AOCI.
ii. Financial Instruments: Under the new standards, all financial
instruments are classified into one of the following five
categories: held-for-trading (assets and liabilities),
available-for-sale financial assets, loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity financial assets, and other financial
liabilities. Transaction costs are included in the initial
carrying amount of financial instruments except for
held-for-trading items in which case they are expensed as
incurred. All financial instruments are initially measured at
fair value. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the
classification of the financial instrument.
Under these standards:
Held-for-trading (assets or liabilities)
This category is comprised of certain investments in equity and debt
instruments, stand-alone derivatives, other than those designated as
hedging items, and embedded derivatives requiring separation. They
are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair
value recognized in the statement of operations.
Loans and receivables
These assets are non-derivative financial assets resulting from the
delivery of cash or other assets by a lender to a borrower in return
for a promise to repay on a specified date or dates, or on demand.
They arise principally through the provision of goods and services
to customers (accounts receivable), but also incorporate other types
of contractual monetary assets. They are initially recognized at
fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the
effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Available-for-sale investments
Non-derivative financial assets not included in the above categories are
classified as available-for-sale and comprises certain investments in
equity instruments, including a company's investments in private
companies. When they have a quoted market price in an active market, they
are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as a
separate component of other comprehensive income. When they do not have a
quoted market price in an active market, they are carried at cost. Where a
decline in the fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the
amount of the loss is removed from other comprehensive income and
recognized in the statement of operations.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities includes all financial liabilities other than
those classified as held-for-trading and comprises trade payables, other
short-term monetary liabilities, and the debt element of convertible debt.
These liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The adoption of these standards had no impact on the opening retained

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Corporation's financial assets and liabilities are recorded and
measured as follows:
Asset/Liability | Category | Measurement
Accounts receivable | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost
Subscription receivable | Loans and receivables | Amortized cost
Accounts payable and | Other liabilities | Amortized cost
accrued liabilities | |
Accrued Liabilities | Other liabilities | Amortized cost

No derivative financial instruments existed for the periods presented.
Based on the preceding information, the application of these new standards
had a limited impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Other balance sheet accounts, such as prepaid expenses, property and
equipment, intangible assets, deferred costs, and deferred revenue are not
within the scope of the new accounting standards as they are not financial
instruments.
iii. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Section 1506,
"Accounting Changes", from the CICA Handbook. This Section
establishes criteria related to the accounting treatment to
adopt and disclosure requirements for accounting changes made,
revision of accounting estimates and correction of errors. The
adoption of these new standards had no material impact on the
financial statements of the Company.
(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
i) In 2006 the CICA issued Handbook Section 3862, Financial
Instruments - Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863,
Financial Instruments - Presentation. These standards enhance
existing disclosure requirements and place greater emphasis on
disclosures related to recognized and unrecognized financial
instruments and how those risks are managed. Section 3863
carries forward the same presentation standards as Section
3861. These new standards are effective for interim and annual
financial statements relating to fiscal years commencing on or
after October 1, 2007 on a prospective basis. Disclosures
required by these standards

will be included in the Company's interim and annual
consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.
ii) In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1535, Capital
Disclosures ("CICA 1535"). CICA 1535 requires that an entity
disclose information that enables users of its financial
statements to evaluate an entity's objectives, policies and
processes for managing capital, including disclosures of any
externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences
for non-compliance. Disclosures required by the new standard
will be included in the Company's interim and annual
consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.
iii) In August of 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3031
("CICA 3031"). "Inventories", which must be applied for fiscal
years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. CICA 3031
prescribes the measurement of inventories at the lower of cost
and net realizable value, with guidance on the determination
of cost including allocation of overheads and other costs to
inventory. Reversals of previous write-downs to net realizable
value are permitted when there is a subsequent increase on the
value of inventories. The Company is evaluating the potential
impact of the adoption of this standard.
iv) In 2008, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and
Intangible Assets ("CICA 3064"). CICA 3064, which replaces
Section 3062, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and Section
3450, Research and Development Costs, establishes standards
for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill
and intangible assets. The provisions relating to the
definition and initial recognition of intangible assets,
including internally generated intangible assets, are
equivalent to the corresponding provisions for IFRS IAS 38,
Intangible Assets.
v) The new standard is effective for the Company's interim and
annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1,
2009. The Company is assessing the impact of the new standard
on its consolidated financial statements.
vi) In May 2007, the CICA published an updated version of its
"Implementation Plan for Incorporating International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") into Canadian GAAP". This plan
includes an outline of the key decisions that the CICA will
need to make as it implements the Strategic Plan for publicly
accountable enterprises

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during each of the periods presented in the interim
consolidated financial statements. The Company follows CICA Handbook
Section 3500, "Earnings Per Share", effective January 31, 2003. The
statement requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share ("EPS") in the statement of operations, using the
"treasury stock" method to compute the dilutive effect of stock options
and warrants and the "if converted" method for the dilutive effect of
convertible instruments.
For the 3 months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, options to purchase
4,655,000 and 210,000 common shares and warrants to purchase 14,474,166
and 6,069,166 common shares, respectively were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect would
have been anti-dilutive.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values approximate amounts at which financial instruments could be
exchanged between willing parties, based on current markets for
instruments of the same risk, principal and remaining maturities. Fair
values are based on estimates using valuation techniques, which are
significantly affected by the assumptions used concerning the amount and
timing of estimated future cash flows, which reflect varying degrees of
risk.

DEVINE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited- Prepared by Management)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Therefore, due to the use of subjective judgement and uncertainties, the
aggregate fair value amount should not be interpreted as being realizable
in an immediate settlement of the instruments.
(i) Fair Value
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, film tax credits receivable for which application has
been filed, subscription receivables due within one year, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their
short-term maturity and normal credit terms.
The fair value of subscription receivables due in over one year, and
accrued film tax credits receivable are recorded at the fair value
using an appropriate discount rate.
The carrying value of advances receivable and loans payable
approximates their fair value because the interest rate is at market
rate.
(ii) Credit Risk
The Company's accounts receivable are subject to credit risk. The
Company continually monitors its positions with and credit quality
of the organizations, which are counterpart to its accounts
receivable and does not anticipate non-performance. The majority of
the accounts receivable are amounts due from sales of foreign
distribution rights and a limited number of licenses and
distributors of video cassettes and DVD's.
(iii) Currency Risk
The Company is subject to currency risk through its activities in
the United States and other countries. Unfavourable changes in the
exchange rate may affect the operating results of the Company.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)
March 31, 2008
15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its
exposure to foreign currency risk. However, dependent on the nature,
amount and timing of foreign currency receipts and payments, the
Company may consider entering into forward exchange contracts to
mitigate any associated risks. The Company did not have any forward
exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) In February 2004, the Company renewed the lease for its premises.
The agreement expires May 31, 2009. Minimum annual rent commitments
excluding occupancy costs are as follows:
2008 $ 21,750
2009 13,000
--------
$ 34,750
========
(b) The Company has entered into contractual agreements for creative
talent related to future film production. The agreements provide for
a minimum fee paid to be paid for the creative work with an
additional fee paid if the work goes into production. The additional
fee would be based on a percentage of revenues.
(c) The purchasers of the copyright interest are entitled to a priority
distribution of the future revenue earned from the motion picture
"Bailey's Billion$" up to the original amount of the purchase price
of $2,477,500. Subsequent to the priority distribution, all the
amounts would be distributed pari passu in accordance with the
percentage ownership acquired.
(d) The distributors of the film are entitled to a priority distribution
of the future revenue earned from the motion picture "Bailey's
Billion$" up to the original amount of the purchase price in the
amount of approximately $2,900,000. Subsequent to the priority
distribution, all the amounts would be distributed in accordance
with the contractual agreements.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
(e) In the normal course of operations the Company is involved in
negotiations, grievances and arbitrations with guilds and unions
related to the film production industry. Management estimates that
the grievances will not result in any future material financial
obligation. No amount has been recorded in the consolidated
financial statements with regard to this matter.
(f) In connection with certain Limited Partnership financings (Note18)
the Company may be obligated to issue up to 408,000 common shares to
the participants.
(g) The Company is eligible for various grants and government incentive
programs that are designed to assist film and television production
and distribution in Canada. The Company has received $240,661 in
forgivable development funding and grants which have been recorded
as a reduction of development costs in Projects in Progress. The
Company could be required to repay up to $200,000 of this funding
and grants in case the projects are fully funded and produced or
sold by the Company to a third party in the future, The ultimate
liability related to the repayment of these funds is not
determinable. The Company will record the liability or repay these
funds once the actual liability is known or determinable.
17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the 3 month period ended March 31, 2008 $73,750 (March 31, 2007 -
$151,445) of fees were paid or accrued to corporations controlled by two
of the directors for writing, directing and producing services on the
Company's film and television productions. These transactions occur during
the normal course of business and have been measured at exchange amount,
which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the
related parties and which management believes reflect prevailing market
rates.

21. CANADIAN GAAP AND US GAAP RECONCILIATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian GAAP. The material differences between the
accounting policies used by the Company under Canadian and U.S. GAAP, and
their effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, are
disclosed below.
a. Under US GAAP, FIN 48 requires the Company to evaluate whether a tax
position taken by the company will "more likely than not" be
sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax authority. It also
provides guidance on how a company should measure the amount of
benefit that the Company is to recognize in its financial
statements. There was no material impact on the Company's financial
statements as a result of implementing FIN 48.
b. Under US GAAP, FASB 150, if the preferred shares are redeemable at
the option of the holders, they should be presented as mezzanine
equity. The preferred shares are retractable by the holder but are
not mandatorially redeemable.
c. Under US GAAP preferred shares are classified as mezzanine equity
and the interest on preferred shares would be classified as a
dividend and recorded as a reduction to the deficit under
shareholders' equity. Under Canadian GAAP the preferred shares are
classified as a liability and interest is expensed accordingly.

21. RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES GAAP (continued)
Impact of Newly Issued United States Accounting Standards
i) In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN
48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). The
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. The evaluation of tax positions under FIN 48 is a
two-step process, whereby (1) The Company determines whether it is
more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based
on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax
positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.
There was no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements as a result of implementing FIN 48.
ii) In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
"Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements"
("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year
misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in
the current year financial statements. The SAB requires registrants
to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income
statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in
quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and
qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 does not
change the guidance in SAB 99, "Materiality", when evaluating the
materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years
ending after November 15, 2006. Upon initial application, SAB 108
permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning
retained earnings. There was no material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of SAB
108.
iii) In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value
Measures." (SFAS No. 157), SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances
disclosures about fair value measures required under other
accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as
to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No.
157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 will have on our future financial statements. The

21. RECONCILIATION TO UNITED STATES GAAP
Impact of Newly Issued United States Accounting Standards (continued)
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the
adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
iv) In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement NO. 159, "The Fair Value
Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). The fair value option
established by SFAS 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible
items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity will
report unrealized gains or loses on items for which the fair value option
has been elected in earnings (or another performance indication if the
business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting
date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument,
with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the
equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and
(c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of
instruments. FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 will not
have a material effect to the Company's financial statements.
v) In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 21 ("No.
160"). This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and
for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provisions of SFAS No. 160
are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As of December 31, 2007,
management believes that SFAS No. 160 will not have a material effect on
our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
vi) In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133" ("FAS 161"). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15,
2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but
does not require, comparative disclosures

Impact of Newly Issued United States Accounting Standards
for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of FAS 161 and does not anticipate any material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
vii) In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations ("No. 141R"). This statement establishes requirements for (i)
recognizing and measuring in an acquiring company's financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizing and measuring
the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain
purchase, and (iii) determining what information to disclose to enable
users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination.
The provisions of SFAS No. 141R are effective for business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As of
December 31, 2009, management believes that SFAS No. 141R will not have a
material effect on the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Readers are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the results
projected in any "forward-looking" statements included in this discussion and
analysis, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements are statements that are not historical facts, and include (but are
not limited to) statements regarding the Company's planned production slate and
development activities, anticipated future profitability, losses, revenues,
expected future expenditures, the Company's intention to raise new financing,
sufficiency of working capital for continued operations, and other statements
regarding anticipated future events and the Company's anticipated future
performance. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the words
"expected", "intends", "anticipates", "feels", "continues", "planned", "plans",
"potential", "with a view to", and similar expressions or variations thereon, or
that events or conditions "will", "may", "could" or "should" occur, or
comparable terminology referring to future events or results.
The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including
those listed under "Risks and Uncertainties", any of which could cause actual

NON-GAAP MEASURE - Earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and write-down ("EBITDA")
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes to be a
meaningful indicator of the Company's performance that provides useful
information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results
of operations. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the
entertainment industry and by financial analysts and others who follow the
industry to measure operating performance. While management considers EBITDA to
be an important measure of comparative operating performance, it should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income and other
measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA does
not reflect cash available to fund cash requirements. Not all companies
calculate EBITDA in the same manner and the measure as presented may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA is
not used by the Company as a performance indicator for the evaluation of
management or employee performance and any related remuneration or bonuses.

Operating expenses
The Company's operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008
increased by $94,179, or approximately 92% to $196,413 as compared to $102,234
in the same period in 2007. The increase in operating expenses reflects that the
Company was engaged in production in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
not in production in the same period in 2008.
Production and Development Activity
The Company continues to develop new projects in order to secure new production
activity. The Company has acquired the rights and is actively developing
additional films and series projects targeted to the worldwide family audience
including Russell Sprout, October 7, 1944, Fat Camp and Humchucker. The Company
has also entered into an initial agreement to co-develop, with the intent of
co-producing in the future, a new series of Writers' Specials with a co-producer
in France. Although a new order of Across the River to Motor City in Canada does
not seem likely in the near future, the Company is preparing to expand on the
primetime drama franchise established by Across the River to Motor City with a
new series, entitled Rio Grande, set on the US/Mexico border and is presenting
this new series concept to US broadcasters.
Investment in Film and Television Programs and Recordings
The Company determines amortization of its investment in film and television
programs and recordings based on the ratio that current gross film revenues bear
to management's estimate of total remaining ultimate gross film revenue as of
the beginning of the current fiscal year on a program by program basis (the
"individual film forecast method").
44
Revenue and film carrying costs are continually reviewed by management and
revised when warranted by changing conditions. When estimates of total revenues
and costs indicate that a feature film or television program will result in an
ultimate loss, a reduction in the carrying value of the investment is recognized
to the extent that capitalized film costs exceed estimated fair value.
Amortization expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2008 for the Company's
Investment in Film, Television Programs and Recordings totaled $24,374. At March
31, 2008 investment in completed television programs and recordings totaled
$235,827 (December 31, 2007 - $265,000). At March 31, 2008, the Company's
investment in completed motion picture, Bailey's Billion$, totaled $2,034,919
(December 31, 2007 - $2,034,919), its investment in completed television drama
series totaled $1,845,446 (December 31, 2007 - $1,816,485) and its investment in
projects in progress totaled $1,339,598 (December 31, 2007 - $1,238,923).
The Company believes that its proprietary library of completed television
programs and recordings are evergreen and will continue to generate revenues in
the future. In accordance with statement of position of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants ("SOP 00-2") all of the Company's carrying value
for its completed television programs and recording are required to be expensed
by the end of the prescribed ten year amortization period in 2008.
Development costs for properties that are expected to benefit future periods are
capitalized. If the property under development has not been set for production
within three years, or if upon review management determines that certain costs
are unrecoverable, the costs associated with such property are written off to
income.
The net carrying value for the Company's Investment in Film, Television Programs
and Recordings totaled $5,455,790 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $5,355,327 at
December 31, 2007, as per the following table:

At year end 2007 96% of completed television programs and recordings, 71% of
completed motion picture costs and 68% of completed television drama series
costs have been amortized.
The remaining period of amortization for the completed projects ranges from one
to nine years at December 31, 2007. 100% of completed television programs and
recordings will be amortized in 2008. The Company expects approximately 42% of
the remaining completed motion picture costs will be amortized in the next three
years and expects 84% will have been amortized by 2012. The Company expects to
amortize 79% of the remaining completed television drama series costs in the
next three years and expects 84% will have been amortized by 2011. The remaining
period of amortization for the completed projects ranges from one to nine years
at December 31, 2007.
Interest incurred on funds borrowed during productions of films, television
programs and recordings is capitalized as a cost of the production. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 the Company capitalized interest in connection with
various projects in progress amounting to $38,110 (December 31, 2007 - $21,421).
In addition, interest on the Company's film production loan totalled $29,242 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2008 (three months ended Dec. 31, 2007 -
$32,899) and has been capitalized to completed television drama series.
Capital stock
There were no common shares, preferred shares or warrants issued in the three
months ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company

Variable Interest Entities
A Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") is an entity that either does not have
sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without subordinated
financial support or wherein the equity investors lack the characteristic of a
controlling financial interest. Pursuant to CICA AcG-15 and FIN 46, VIEs are
consolidated by a company if that company is deemed the primary beneficiary of
the VIE. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated the VIE's in the December 31,
2007 financial statements as discussed herein.
During 2004 the Company entered into a services agreement with Devine
Entertainment Limited Partnership ("the Partnership"). On December 22, 2004 the
Company issued 380,450 Common Shares and 494,550 Series 1 preferred shares of
the Company. The Company recorded the common shares as equity and classified the
preferred shares as a liability.
In December 2005, The Devine Entertainment Film Library Limited Partnership
("DEFL LP"), a limited partnership formed and registered under the Limited
Partnerships Act (Ontario) on March 8, 2004, acquired Devine Entertainment
Corporation's interest in a defined part of the Company's proprietary film
library. These limited partnerships meet the criteria for variable interest
entities and are consolidated. . In connection with these financings the Company
received proceeds net of costs of $380,414 to date recorded as contributed
surplus and subscriptions receivable (net) of $116,872 at March 31, 2008. In
connection with the limited partnership financing the Company may be obligated
to issue up to 408,000 common shares to the participants.
Restatement
The Company is restating its previously reported consolidated financial
statements for the 3 months ended March 31, 2007. A summary of the impact of the
restatement adjustments on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet,
statement of operations and cash flows amounts is as follows:
Summary of Restatement Adjustments
a) The Company has determined that the previously filed financial
statements for the 3 month period ended March 31, 2007 contained
errors resulting from the incorrect accounting related to interest
for the Company's Investment in film, television programs and
recordings. The interest income was incorrectly accounted for and
should not have been included in the results for the period ended
March 31, 2007. In addition, the transaction should have been
accounted for and was addressed in the December 31, 2007 financial
statements.
The Company has restated the interest income from interest expense
(income). The restatement amounts to $30,312. As a result accrued
liabilities increased by $30,312 and net income decreased by $30,312
for the 3 months ended March 31, 2007. The deficit increased by
$30,312.

c) The company restated its preferred shares from an equity component
to a liability as it was determined that under the CICA Handbook
Section 3861, and following the guidance under EIC-149. The
preferred shares are redeemable, retractable and have a preferential
priority participation in the residual equity of the company,
accordingly preferred shares have been restated as a liability. The
effect of the restatement resulted in a reclassification from
preferred shares in the equity section of the balance sheet in the
amount of $494,550 to preferred shares in the liability section in
the amount of $494,550. This change was reflected in the Company's
December 31, 2007 financial statements. Accordingly dividends
amounting to $11,220 would be restated as interest expense for the 3
month period ending March 31, 2008.
The following table summarizes the impact of the restatement
adjustment on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet,
statement of operations and cash flows for the 3 months ended March
31, 2007.
