ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and development of the Company. International Gemini Technology Inc. resulted from a one for five reverse split of the common shares of Gemini Technology Inc. accomplished in 1993. International Gemini Technology Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by filing of Memorandum and Articles of Association on September 20, 1983, under the name Rainbow Resources Ltd. The companys name was changed to Widescope Resources Ltd. on May 1, 1984, and to Gemini Technology Inc. on September 17, 1985. Registrant is currently in good standing under the laws of British Columbia.The registered and records office of the Company and the Companys principal executive offices are located at 208-828 Harbourside Drive North Vancouver, British Columbia V7P 3R9, telephone 604-904-8481. From September 1985 the company became involved in the design and marketing of a circuit board for a Zenith computer that allowed it to emulate an IBM PC and utilize much of the related software. Over the next year it broadened its product line to include proprietary computer graphics chips, custom electronic components and equipment. As the line of proprietary computer graphics chips were in final development, the demand for the circuit boards for the Zenith computer ended. The company licensed its graphics chips to third parties, and concentrated on developing second and third generation products. Due to cash flow problems brought about by external and unforeseeable circumstances, and bad management decisions the company was forced into a position of attempting to develop a new generation product with little cash. In August of 1989 the board changed direction and top management. The new strategy was to accelerate R&D on a blockbuster new product, targeting a small number of very large customers. With little cash and little ongoing revenue, the inevitable delays to the R&D process caused the company to be unable to meet payroll in February 1990. All of management resigned and the board of directors was changed. The shareholders spearheaded an effort to save the Company, which eventually resulted in the change to the board of directors and a plan to revive the Company's operations. During 1991 the Company concentrated considerable effort on establishing a joint venture in Czechoslovakia to exploit the European market, as well as effort to establish a considerable technical presence in the Middle East. In addition, contracts and joint ventures were pursued in Russia, Singapore and Taiwan. As yet none of these efforts has yielded tangible results.

A great deal of time and energy has been expended in 1993 and 1994 in an effort to target and conclude an acquisition that would be complimentary to Gemini's technical and financial capabilities. This effort continued through 1996, and at the end of 1996 has been unsuccessful. In July of 1997, Gemini entered into discussions to acquire the assets and intellectual property of Abraham Publishing Group Inc. and certain other privately owned assets which in combination operate as a profitable publishing business. These discussions and negotiations had not been concluded by the end of 1997, but in the first quarter of 1998 resulted in an acquisition agreement with closing conditional on raising US$3.25 million in expansion capital. Closing had not taken place by the end of 1998 due to small cap market conditions frustrating efforts to raise the required capital. Initiatives were undertaken to identify and review other potential acquisition or mergers requiring less capital. The dot.com frenzy in the years 1999 and 2000 distorted valuations and made any prospective acquisition prohibitively expensive. The return to more normal valuations after mid 2000 has resulted in fewer but more reasonably priced prospective candidates. However as valuations became more reasonable the sources of funding became fewer. And the events of September 11 virtually shut down the availability of funding for most smaller transactions, particularly the size targeted by the company. Toward the end of the year discussions were entered into on a proprietary medical device, which had met some amount of success in a niche market in Texas. At yearend discussions were progressing, particularly as it appeared that this device could be sold in considerable quantity by the application of effective marketing. This was abandoned as marketing was found not to be the greatest challenge. The greatest challenge was providing the paperwork for the multiplicity of insurers ultimately paying for the use of the device. During 2002 due diligence was done on two businesses, but neither was able to demonstrate the business case necessary for expansion financing. Accordingly neither was pursued further as a merger or acquisition candidate, despite one being in the bus shelter advertising business, a business usually demonstrating generally attractive economics.

B. Business overview. The companys sole activity is its search for a suitable acquisition or acquisitions that can be made and financed at prices and terms that make business sense. The acquisitions targeted will provide products and/or services to customers largely in the United States. They should also have the potential to be grown significantly by excellence in marketing.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included herein (see also "Selected Financial Data"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Refer Note 15 to the financial statements for a reconciliation of certain amounts to U.S. GAAP under Item 17. The primary differences between the Canadian and U.S. GAAP loss for the year are the inclusion of stock option compensation and a revised goodwill base under U.S. GAAP.
Overview
The company s sole focus is on finding and completing a suitable acquisition, or suitable acquisitions. This activity is largely carried out by the directors and large shareholders at their expense. Accordingly its revenue is insignificant and certainly not material. Results can fluctuate on the basis of postal rate increases, or reductions in courier or long distance phone rates.
10
$$/page=
Results of Operations
The company has shown modest losses for the past several years. These losses result largely from having no revenue, rather than having unusual expenses. The expenses of the company are almost completely related to satisfying regulatory requirements, including the annual meeting, communication with shareholders; and seeking and evaluating acquisition prospects for suitability and ability to attract financing.
Fluctuations in Results
The Companys annual operating results fluctuate, but very little.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the Company is organized in Canada, the Companys December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
As at December 31, 2002, the Company had accumulated losses totaling $13,244,049. The Company had a working capital of $25,554 as at December 31, 2002. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support of shareholders as well as obtaining long-term financing when the company concludes an appropriate merger or acquisition agreement.
As noted, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might arise from uncertainty. However, had the audit been conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards the auditors would have reflected these concerns in their report and would have included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising concern about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As at December 31, 2002 the Company had cash and term deposits of $596 and working capital of $25,554
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its past business.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable to the Company.
ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES
It should be noted that the management discussed below is primarily involved with the Companys current activities. As the Company concludes an acquisition or merger, additional personnel with differing areas of expertise will be utilized. Directors are elected annually by a

Exchange Controls
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, legal advice to any prospective purchaser. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Companys shares should consult with their own advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.
There are no laws or governmental decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to holders of the Companys securities who are not residents of Canada, other than withholding tax requirements. Reference is made to Item 7. Taxation.
There are no limitations imposed by the laws of Canada, the laws of Alberta or by the charter or other governing documents of the Company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares of the Company, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the Investment Act) and the potential requirement for a Competition Act Review.
The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act and the Competition Act Review for a non-resident who proposes to acquire common shares. This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor is it, a substitute for independent advice from an investors own advisor. This summary does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.
The Canadian Investment Act
The Canadian Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a Canadian as defined in the Investment Act (a non-Canadian), unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act (the Minister) is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of a net benefit to Canada. Under the Investment Act, a United States citizen qualifies as a World Trade Organization Investor. Subject to the restrictions noted below, an investment in a Canadian business by a World Trade Organization Investor would be reviewable under the Investment Act only if it is an investment to acquire control of such Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is not less than a specified amount, which for 1999 was $184 million. An investment in the shares of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian other than a World Trade Organization Investor when the Company is not controlled by a World Trade Organization Investor, would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it is an investment to acquire control of the Canadian business and the value of the assets of the Canadian business as shown on its financial statements is $5 million or more, or if an order for review is made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment relates to Canadas cultural heritage or national identity.
The acquisition by a World Trade Organization Investor of control of a Canadian business in any of the following sectors is also subject to review if the value of the assets of the Canadian business exceeds $5 million (as shown on its financial statements): uranium, financial services (except insurance), transportation services and cultural businesses, which include broadcast
17
$$/page=
media (publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, music, film and video products and the exhibition of film and video products), television and radio services. As the Companys business does not fall under any of the aforementioned categories, the acquisition of control of the Company, in excess of the $5 million threshold, by a World Trade Organization Investor would not be subject to such review.
A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Company for purposes of the Investment Act if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the common shares.
The acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the common shares would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Company unless it could be established that, on acquisition, the Company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of common shares. Notwithstanding the review provisions, any transaction involving the acquisition of control of a Canadian business or the establishment of a new business in Canada by a non-Canadian is a notifiable transaction and must be reported to Industry Canada by the non-Canadian making the investment either before or within thirty days after the investment.
Certain transactions relating to common shares are exempt from the Investment Act, including:
- an acquisition of common shares by a person in the ordinary course of that persons business as a trader or dealer in securities;
- an acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Act; and
- an acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through the ownership of common shares, remained unchange
Canadian Competition Act Review
Investments giving rise to the acquisition or establishment, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons of control over, or a significant interest in the whole or part of a business of a competitor, supplier, customer or other person are subject to substantive review by Canadas Competition Law Authority, the Director of Investigation and Research (the Director). If or when the Director concludes that a merger, whether by purchase or lease of shares or assets, by amalgamation or by combination, or otherwise, prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen competition substantially, he may apply as may be necessary to eliminate the substantial lessening or prevention of competition. Such substantive merger review power applies to all mergers, whether or not they meet limits for pre-notification under the Competition Act.
In addition to substantive merger review, the Competition Act provides for a pre-notification regime respecting mergers of a certain size. The regime applies in respect of share acquisitions, asset acquisitions, amalgamations and combinations. For ease of reference, this filing refers
18
$$/page=
specifically to share acquisition, although the pre-notification regime applies, with the appropriate modification, to other types of acquisition of control as well.
In order for a share acquisition transaction to be pre-notifiable, the parties to the transaction (being the person or persons who proposed to acquire shares, and the corporation the shares of which are to be acquired), together with their affiliates (being all firms with a 50% or more voting shares linkage up and down the chain) must have:
| (i) | aggregate gross assets in Canada that
exceed $400,000,000 in value, as shown on their audited financial statements
for the most recently completed fiscal year (which must be within the
last fifteen (15) months); or |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | aggregate gross revenue from sales in,
from or into Canada that exceed $400,000,000 for the most recently completed
fiscal year shown on the said financial statements; and |
| (iii) | the party being acquired or corporations
controlled by that party must have gross assets in Canada, or gross revenues
from sales in or from Canada, exceeding $35,000,000 as shown on the said
financial statements. Acquisition of shares carrying up to 20% of the
votes of a publicly-traded corporation, or 35% of the votes in a private
corporation, will not be subject to pre-notification, regardless of the
above thresholds. However, exceeding the 20% or the 35% threshold, and
again exceeding the 50% threshold, gives rise to an obligation of notification
if the size threshold is met. |
If a transaction is pre-notifiable, a filing must be made with the Director containing the prescribed information with respect to the parties, and a waiting period (either seven or twenty-one days, depending on whether a long or short form filing is chosen) must expire prior to closing.
As an alternative to pre-notification, the Director may grant an Advance Ruling Certificate, which exempts the transaction from pre-notification. Advance Ruling Certificates are granted where the Director concludes, based on the information provided to him, that he would not have sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal to challenge the Merger.
Taxation
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, legal or tax advice to any prospective purchaser or holder of the Companys shares and no representation with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any such prospective purchaser is made. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of the Companys shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their individual circumstances.
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of the Companys shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Canadian Tax Act) and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the Convention) and at all relevant times is resident in the United States and not resident in Canada, deals at arms length with the Company, holds the Companys shares as capital
19
$$/page=
property, and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Companys shares in or in the course of carrying on business in Canada (a United States Holder).
This following summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the Companys understanding of the published administrative practices of the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (formerly Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation). This summary does not take into account or anticipate any other changes in the governing law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or non-Canadian jurisdiction (including the United States), which legislation or considerations may differ significantly from those described herein.
Dividends On The Companys Shares
Generally, dividends paid by Canadian corporations to non-resident shareholders are subject to a withholding tax of 25% of the gross amount of such dividends. However, pursuant to the Convention, the withholding tax rate on the gross amount of dividends paid to residents of the United States is reduced to 15% or, in the case of a United States corporation which owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Canadian corporation paying the dividends, to 5% of the gross amount of such dividends.
Pursuant to the Convention, certain tax-exempt entities resident in the United States may be exempt from Canadian withholding taxes, including any withholding taxes levied in respect of dividends received on the Companys shares.
Disposition Of The Companys Shares
In general, a United States shareholder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital gains arising on the disposition of the Companys shares, unless such shares are taxable Canadian property within the meaning of the Canadian Income Tax Act and no relief is afforded under any applicable tax treaty. The shares of the Company would be taxable Canadian property of a non-resident if at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding a disposition by the non-resident of such shares, not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of all classes of shares of the Company belonged to the non-resident, to persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arms length, or to the non-resident and persons with whom the non-resident did not deal at arms length for purposes of the Canadian Income Tax Act. For this purpose, issued shares include options to acquire such shares (including conversion rights) held by such persons. Under the Convention, a capital gain realized by a resident of the United States will not be subject to Canadian tax unless the value of the shares of the Company is derived principally from real estate (as defined in the Convention) situated in Canada.

AUDITORS REPORT
| To: |
|---|
| International Gemini Technology Inc. |
We have audited the balance sheets of International Gemini Technology Inc. as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada applied on a consistent basis.

Comments by Auditor for U.S. Readers on Canada - U.S. Reporting Difference
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those referred to in the attached balance sheets as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the directors dated May 12, 2003 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditor's report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

International Gemini Technology Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2002
| 1. | Continuing Operations The Companys ability to continue as a going concern
is subject to obtaining financing and achieving profitable operations. | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies These financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which conform
in all material respects with those in the United States. Outlined below
are those policies considered particularly significant by the Company. | |
| | (a) | Stock-based compensation plan The Company provides options to buy shares of the Company
to directors, officers and employees allowing them the opportunity to
participate in the progress of the Company. Such options are granted by
the board of directors at prices equal to or greater than the market price
of the Companys shares on the date the options are granted. No compensation
expense is recognized when stock options are granted to or exercised by
directors, officers and employees. Any consideration paid to the Company
on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital. |
| | (b) | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets
and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| | (c) | Income taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting
for income taxes whereby future income tax assets and liabilities are
computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet date and their corresponding tax values
using the enacted income tax rates at each balance sheet date. Future
income tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards and other
deductions. The valuation of future income tax assets is reviewed annually
and adjusted, if necessary, by use of a valuation allowance to reflect
the estimated realizable amount. |
| | (d) | Earnings (loss) per share The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute
the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under
this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on
the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options,
warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be
used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the
period. Fully diluted loss per share have been calculated on the assumption
that preferred shares were converted into common shares at a conversion
value of $1 per share by $0.45. Loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding during the year. |

International Gemini Technology Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2002
| 3. — 4. | Financial Instruments The Companys financial instruments consist of cash,
accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying
values. — Related Party Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2002, a company in
which a director has an interest charged the Company $50,500 (2001: $18,000,
2000: $18,000) for rent and management fees. The unpaid portion of these
amounts, plus additional advances and other amounts due to directors,
aggregating $77,562 (2001: $21,704, 2000: $76,945) is included in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2002. A Company in which a director has an interest was charged
$12,000 (2001: $Nil, 2000: $82,500) for consulting fees during the year
ended December 31, 2002. The unpaid portion of these amounts, aggregating
$98,940 (2001: $86,100, 2000: $86,100) is included in accounts receivable
at December 31, 2002. | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5. | Share Capital | | |
| | a) | The authorized capital of
the Company comprises 100,000,000 Common shares without par value and
100,000,000 Series 1 Convertible Preferred shares without par value. The
rights and restrictions of the Preferred shares are as follows: | |
| | | i) | dividends shall be paid at the discretion of the directors; |
| | | ii) | the holders of the Preferred shares
are not entitled to vote except at meetings of the holders of the Preferred
shares, where they are entitled to one vote for each Preferred Share held; |
| | | iii) | the shares are convertible at any time;
and |
| | | iv) | the number of the Common shares to be
received on conversion of the Preferred shares is to be determined by
dividing the conversion value of the share, $1 per share, by $0.45. |
