In the coming weeks, wholly owned Western Equity Loans Ltd, a registered mortgage broker in British Columbia, intends to reactivate its mortgage business with selected syndicated mortgages and the introduction of a mortgage investment fund. WELL will focus on investor funding of loans for commercial and multiple family development and construction projects.

The decision taken by the Company in April 2009 to discontinue the mutual fund dealership in its wholly owned subsidiary Futureworth Financial Planners Corp. commenced a lengthy process which culminated with the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada's formal acceptance of Futureworth's resignation effective November 11, 2009. Going forward, Futureworth intends to provide financial services by working cooperatively with independent financial specialist professionals in the financial planning and services arena to provide comprehensive solutions for the complex personal and corporate issues of its clients.
