The accompanying Form of Proxy is solicited on behalf of the board of directors of LML Payment Systems Inc. to be used at our annual meeting to be held at The Renaissance Vancouver Hotel, 1133 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, on August 25, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. local time. This proxy statement, accompanying Form of Proxy, Notice of Meeting and Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 are first being mailed to shareholders on or about July 16, 2004.

We will bear the expense of this solicitation. Certain of our directors, officers and employees may solicit the return of proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or other similar means without additional compensation. Requests will also be made of brokerage houses and custodians, nominees or fiduciaries to forward proxy material at our expense to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, has agreed to assist us in the tabulation of proxies and the counting of votes at our annual meeting.

All of a shareholder's common shares registered in the same name will be represented by one proxy.

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 12, 2004 are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at our annual meeting. As of June 30, 2004, there were 19,909,851 common shares in the capital of our corporation issued and outstanding owned by approximately 404 shareholders of record. We have no other voting securities outstanding. Each shareholder of record on July 12, 2004 is entitled to one vote for each common share held.

Common shares cannot be voted at our annual meeting unless the holder of record is present in person or represented by proxy. A shareholder has the right to attend our annual meeting at the time and place set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and to vote their shares directly at the meeting. In the alternative, a shareholder may appoint a person to represent such shareholder at our annual meeting by completing the enclosed Form of Proxy, which authorizes a person other than the holder of record to vote on behalf of the shareholder, and returning it to our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 6th Floor, 530 - 8th Avenue, S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3S8 (facsimile (403) 267-6529). All shareholders are urged to complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed Form of Proxy by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or by fax, after reviewing the information contained in this proxy statement. Valid proxies will be voted at our annual meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof as you direct in the proxy, provided that such proxies are received by our transfer agent at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the annual meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or deposited with the Chair of the annual meeting on the day of the annual meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.

The common shares represented by the proxy will be voted, or withheld from voting, as directed in the proxy. If no direction is given and the proxy is validly executed, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for our board of directors set forth in this proxy statement, and FOR the appointment of our independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP. If any other matters properly come before our annual meeting, the persons authorized under the proxies will vote upon such other matters in accordance with their best judgment, pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by the proxy.

THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION IS OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO MANY SHAREHOLDERS OF OUR CORPORATION AS A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT HOLD SHARES IN THEIR OWN NAME.

Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this proxy statement as "beneficial shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of our corporation as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at our annual meeting. If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in the shareholder's name on the records of our corporation. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depositary Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Beneficial shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from beneficial shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by beneficial shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at our annual meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a beneficial shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the enclosed Form of Proxy provided to registered shareholders by our corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the beneficial shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communication Services ("ADP") in the United States and Independent Investor Communications Company ("IICC") in Canada. ADP and IICC typically apply a special sticker to proxy forms, mail those forms to the beneficial shareholders and ask beneficial shareholders to return the proxy forms to ADP for the United States and IICC for Canada. ADP and IICC then tabulate the results of all instructions received and provide appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at our annual meeting. A beneficial shareholder receiving an ADP proxy or an IICC proxy cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at our annual meeting - the proxy must be returned to ADP or IICC, as the case may be, well in advance of our annual meeting in order to have the common shares voted.

Although a beneficial shareholder may not be recognized directly at our annual meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a beneficial shareholder may attend at our annual meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity. Beneficial shareholders who wish to attend at our annual meeting and indirectly vote their common shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of our annual meeting.

Alternatively, a beneficial shareholder may request in writing that his or her broker send to the beneficial shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the beneficial shareholder to attend at our annual meeting and vote his or her common shares.

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to take action at our annual meeting. A minimum of one person present in person or represented by proxy and holding at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding common shares as at July 12, 2004 will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at our annual meeting. However, if a quorum is not present, the shareholders present at our annual meeting have the power to adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the

-3-

original meeting. Broker non-votes occur when a nominee holding common shares for a beneficial owner of those common shares has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to a particular matter and such nominee does not possess or choose to exercise discretionary authority with respect thereto. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be included in the determination of the number of common shares present at our annual meeting for quorum purposes but will not be counted as votes cast on any matter presented at our annual meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ASKED TO MARK, DATE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL MEETING. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL MEETING TO VOTE IN PERSON AND YOUR SHARES ARE REGISTERED WITH OUR TRANSFER AGENT (COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY OF CANADA) IN THE NAME OF A BROKER OR BANK, YOU MUST SECURE A PROXY FROM THE BROKER OR BANK ASSIGNING VOTING RIGHTS TO YOU FOR YOUR COMMON SHARES.

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the start of our annual meeting in three ways:

Except where otherwise indicated, all dollar ($) amounts referred to in this proxy statement are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Our Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of our board of directors and set out in the notice calling the annual meeting of shareholders provided that the number of directors may be not less than three (3) or more than fifteen (15). The number of our directors has been set at five (5). All of our current directors are standing for re-election at our annual meeting. Each director who is elected will serve until an annual meeting is held for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2005, until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director's earlier death, resignation or removal. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve if elected, but if any of them should become unable to serve as a director, and if our board of directors designates a substitute nominee, the persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy will vote for the substitute nominee designated by our board of directors, unless a contrary instruction is given in the Form of Proxy.

The affirmative majority vote of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual meeting is required to elect each director. Votes may be cast in favor or withheld. Votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect. Votes that are withheld for a particular nominee will be excluded from the vote for that nominee only.

The persons nominated to be directors are listed below. All of the nominees are currently directors. The following information as of June 30, 2004, which has been provided by the individuals named, is submitted concerning the nominees named for election as directors:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES SET FORTH IN PROPOSAL ONE.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, our board of directors held nine (9) meetings and acted two (2) times by written consent. The meetings were attended by all of our directors either in person or by teleconference.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the board of directors had four (4) standing committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee and the stock option plan administration committee.

We have a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 173 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon).

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the members of the audit committee included Greg A. MacRae (Chair), L. William Seidman, Robin B. Martin and Jacqueline Pace. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the audit committee met five (5) times. With the exception of one meeting which one of the members was unable to attend, the meetings were attended by all of the members of the committee either in person or by teleconference. The function of the audit committee is set out in its written charter and includes reviewing and approving the scope of audit procedures employed by our independent auditors, approving in advance all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by the independent auditors and the scope and cost of their annual audit, reviewing our independent auditors' opinions on the adequacy of internal controls and quality of financial reporting, and reviewing our corporation's accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls. The audit committee also reports to our board of directors with respect to such matters and approves the selection of independent auditors. On June 8, 2004, we revised our audit committee charter, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

The board of directors has determined that each member of the audit committee is financially literate, that the audit committee has at least one member who is an "audit committee financial expert", as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that L. William Seidman is an "audit committee financial expert".

Each of the members of our audit committee are independent as such term is defined in NASD Rule 4200(a)(15), as amended.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the members of our compensation committee included Robin B. Martin (Chair) Greg A. MacRae, Jacqueline Pace, and L. William Seidman. Our compensation committee met one (1) time during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and all members attended such meeting. Our compensation committee's duties are set out in its written charter and include developing policies that are designed to offer competitive compensation opportunities for our executive officers which are based on personal performance, individual initiative and achievement, as well as assisting in attracting and retaining qualified executives. Our compensation committee also endorses the position that stock

-6-

ownership by management and stock-based compensation arrangements are beneficial in aligning management's and shareholders' interests in the enhancement of shareholder value. No member of our compensation committee was, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 or prior thereto, an officer or employee of our corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee included Greg A. MacRae, Jacqueline Pace, Robin B. Martin and L. William Seidman. The nominating and corporate governance committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, however, the committee is expected to meet during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 in order to, among other things, review and develop criteria for evaluating and selecting new directors to serve on our board of directors and to develop and recommend to the board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to our corporation. The nominating and corporate governance committee's duties are set out in its written charter which sets forth its primary responsibilities of recommending nominees for election as directors to the our board of directors, the evaluation of the qualifications and independence of directors and members of the various committees of our board of directors and the development and recommendation to our board of directors of corporate governance principles applicable to our corporation. The nominating and corporate governance committee will seek highly qualified candidates who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Candidates should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates recommended by our directors, members of management and shareholders, and will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders on the same basis as other candidates. The committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if such proposed nominations are submitted to our corporation in writing by shareholders no later than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement sent to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes this deadline is reasonable and in the best interests of the Corporation and our shareholders because it ensures that the committee has sufficient time to properly evaluate all proposed candidates. Shareholder recommendations may be submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation at 1140 West Pender Street, Suite 1680, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4G1, and they will be forwarded to the nominating and corporate governance committee members for their consideration. Any such recommendation should include the following information:

Once we receive the recommendation, we may request additional information from the candidate about the candidate's independence, qualifications and other information that would assist the nominating and corporate governance committee in evaluating the candidate, as well as certain information that must be disclosed about the candidate in our corporation's proxy statement, if nominated. Candidates must complete and return the questionnaire within the time frame provided to be considered for nomination by the committee.

Each of the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are independent as such term is defined in NASD Rule 4200(a)(15), as amended.

During the year ended March 31, 2004, the members of our stock option plan administration committee included Jacqueline Pace, Patrick H. Gaines and Greg A. McRae. Our stock option plan administration committee acted two (2) times by written consent during the year ended March 31, 2004. The function of

-7-

the stock option plan administration committee is to oversee both our 1996 Stock Option Plan and our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. The committee has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions with respect to any grant made pursuant to both the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

The charters of our audit, compensation, and nominating and governance committees can be viewed on our website at the following address: http://www.lmlpayment.com/html/governance.html. Our corporation has also adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its directors, officers, and employees, also available at that website. Only our board of directors may grant a waiver under our Code of Ethics to any director or executive officer, and any such waiver will also be promptly posted on that website.

The Securities and Exchange Commission rules now require our corporation to include in our proxy statement a report from the audit committee of our board of directors. The following report concerns the audit committee's activities regarding oversight of our corporation's financial reporting and auditing process. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the audit committee has:

-9-

Our corporation's compensation committee is governed by its charter adopted by our board of directors on June 8, 2004. Compensation paid to our corporation's executive officers is generally comprised of two elements: base salary and long-term compensation in the form of stock options. Compensation levels for executive officers of our corporation are determined by a consideration of each officer's initiative and contribution to our overall corporate performance, and the officer's managerial abilities and performance in any special projects that the officer may have undertaken. Competitive base salaries that reflect the individual's level of responsibility are important elements of our corporation's executive compensation philosophy. Subjective considerations of individual performance are considered in establishing incentive compensation. In addition, our compensation committee considers our financial position and cash flow in making compensation decisions. Our compensation committee recommends the grant of stock option awards for our executive officers to our stock option plan administration committee for their consideration and, if seen fit, approval.

Our compensation committee met once during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, and, while it did not recommend changes to the current base salaries of our executive officers, it did recommend the grant of certain stock option awards to our Corporate Secretary, Controller, and Chief Executive Officer. The base salaries of our Corporate Secretary and Chief Executive Officer were established by the compensation committee in fiscal year 2001. In formulating compensation levels and policies for the 2001 fiscal year, the compensation committee took into consideration the compensation paid to executive officers of several other companies operating in the financial services/transaction processing industry including Concord EFS, Efunds Corp, PMT Services Inc. and Electronic Clearing House Inc. after making allowances for the different scales of operations of these other companies as compared to our corporation. The compensation committee did not retain an independent compensation consultant, nor did the compensation committee rely upon any formal study or review of comparable companies in our corporation's industry in formulating compensation levels and policies for the 2001 fiscal year. The base salary of our Controller was established by management on August 1, 2001 upon commencement of his employment with our corporation in the position of Assistant Controller.

Patrick Gaines' base salary and long-term compensation for the 2001 fiscal year were determined by the compensation committee utilizing the criteria discussed above. Mr. Gaines' total compensation package is designed to be competitive while creating performance-based awards in line with the financial interests of the shareholders. During the year ended March 31, 2001, the compensation committee established Mr. Gaines' base annual salary at $150,000. During the year ended March 31, 2002, Mr. Gaines voluntarily agreed to a 20% reduction in his base annual salary, resulting in his base annual salary for the year ended March 31, 2002 being $135,000. During the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, his base annual salary was $120,000.

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan was first adopted by our shareholders in 1996. The purpose of the 1996 Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of our corporation by encouraging our directors, management and employees to increase their proprietary interest in our corporation and to remain associated with our corporation, as well as to furnish participants with an additional incentive in their efforts on our corporation's behalf. At our annual meeting on September 18, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 1996 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of options to purchase common shares in our capital from 2,500,000 common shares to 3,000,000 common shares.

Our 1996 Stock Option Plan is currently administered by our stock option plan administration committee. The committee considers recommendations from our corporation's compensation committee as to the granting of stock option awards to executive officers and has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions of awards granted pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan, although no participant may be

-10-

granted options exceeding the maximum number of shares permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed or other regulatory body having jurisdiction. The exercise price of options issued under the 1996 Stock Option Plan shall not be less than the price permitted by any applicable regulator and such price shall be paid in cash or by certified check or bank draft. The term of each option shall not exceed that permitted by any applicable regulator, and the right to exercise options is limited in the event the participant ceases, for any reason, to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of our corporation. Options are generally not transferable or assignable.

As of June 30, 2004, no executive officer, director or associate of any executive officer or director had been granted any options subject to shareholder approval. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.74 to one of our directors. As of March 31, 2004, a total of 907,000 stock options remain available to be granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan was first adopted by our shareholders in 1998. The purpose of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants to achieve the goals of our corporation and our shareholders and to promote the success of our business. At our annual meeting on September 18, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of common shares in our capital that may be issued pursuant to all awards granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan from 1,000,000 common shares to 3,000,000 common shares.

Our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan is currently administered by our stock option plan administration committee. The committee considers recommendations from the corporation's compensation committee as to the granting of stock option awards to executive officers and has sole discretion as to the interpretation and construction of any provision of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and the determination of the terms and conditions of awards granted pursuant to the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

Subject to applicable laws, including the rules of any applicable stock exchange or national market system, the committee is authorized to grant any type of award to an eligible person that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and that by its terms involves or may involve the issuance of any one or more of the following: (a) common shares in our capital (including "Performance Shares" which may be earned in whole or in part upon attainment of performance criteria established by the committee); (b) stock options, which may be granted as either "Incentive Stock Options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options; (c) stock appreciation rights entitling the grantee to acquire such number of common shares in our capital or such cash compensation as will be determined by reference to any appreciation in the value of our common shares in accordance with terms established by committee; (d) restricted stock issuable for such consideration (if any) and subject to such restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions, and other terms and conditions to be established by the committee; (e) "Dividend Equivalent Rights" entitling the grantee to compensation measured by any dividends paid on our common shares; or (f) "Performance Units" which may be earned in whole or in part upon attainment of performance criteria established by the committee and which may be settled in cash, common shares or other securities, or a combination of cash, common shares or other securities, as established by the committee.

The maximum number of shares with respect to which options and stock appreciation rights may be granted in any fiscal year to any grantee who is a director, officer or employee of our corporation or any of its subsidiaries is 500,000 shares, subject to certain adjustments. The term of each award shall not exceed that permitted by any applicable regulator, provided that the term of any Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed 10 years, and provided further that if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a grantee who, at the time of the grant, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of our

-11-

corporation or any of its subsidiaries, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall not exceed 5 years. The right to exercise awards is limited in the event the participant ceases, for any reason, to be a director, employee or consultant of our corporation. Awards are generally not transferable or assignable.

The committee has the discretion to determine the exercise or purchase price for any awards under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, except that: (a) the exercise or purchase price of any Incentive Stock Option or any award intended to qualify as "Performance-Based Compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant; and the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a grantee whose holdings exceed 10% of the voting power must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2004, no executive officer, director or associate of any executive officer or director has been granted any awards subject to shareholder approval, and no person has received or is currently expected to receive 5% of the awards issuable under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we granted options to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.74 to three of our directors. As of March 31, 2004, a total of 1,535,500 stock options remain available to be granted under the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.

During the year ended March 31, 2004, stock options to acquire an aggregate of 10,000 shares of common stock were granted under our 1996 Stock Option Plan, none of which had expired on or before March 31, 2004, and awards to acquire an aggregate of 30,000 shares of common stock were granted under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, of which none had expired on or before March 31, 2004.

Messrs. MacRae, Martin and Seidman and Ms. Pace served as members of our compensation committee during the last fiscal year, and continue to serve in such capacity. None of these persons: (a) is a current or former officer or employee of our corporation, or of any of our subsidiaries; or (b) participated, either directly or indirectly, in any transaction or any series of transactions to which our corporation or any of our subsidiaries was or is a party, and which involved an amount in excess of $60,000.

During the last fiscal year, no executive officer of our corporation served as a member of the board of directors or as a member of the compensation committee of another entity one of whose executive officers served as a member of our corporation's board of directors or compensation committee.

We have not entered into any formal employment agreements with our named executive officers. However, our subsidiary, LML Payment Systems Corp., has entered into an employment agreement with one of our named executive officers, Robert E. Peyton. Mr. Peyton serves as an Executive Vice-President of LML Payment Systems Corp. pursuant to an employment agreement dated July 9, 2000. The initial term of the employment agreement ended on July 9, 2003, but the agreement is subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year terms unless it is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. Mr. Peyton received an annual salary of $150,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. During the year ended March

-12-

31, 2004, Mr. Peyton voluntarily agreed to a 20% reduction in his base annual salary, resulting in his base annual salary for the year ended March 31, 2004 being $135,000.

We pay an annual director's fee to each of our independent directors as follows: cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 and a grant of 10,000 stock options for services rendered as a director in the fiscal year. The annual director's fee is paid pursuant to a compensation plan that we adopted for our independent directors during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The stock options awarded under the plan vest on the first anniversary date of their issuance. The $5,000 cash component is payable annually on the date of our corporation's annual meeting, and the options are to be awarded on the same date.

Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board or committee meetings. The board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of our corporation other than services ordinarily required of a director.

We ended our relationship with our previous independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, as of July 9, 2004. Ernst & Young LLP's report on the financial statements for either of the two most recent fiscal years for which Ernst & Young LLP was the corporation's independent auditors did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change independent auditors was recommended and approved by our audit committee.

During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim periods preceding July 9, 2004 there were no disagreements between us and Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement or disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the independent auditors, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement or disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements for such years.

All services provided by Ernst & Young LLP in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 have been reviewed with our audit committee to confirm that the performance of such services is consistent with the regulatory requirements for auditor independence.

Neither a representative of Grant Thornton LLP or Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at our annual meeting, nor is a representative of Grant Thornton LLP or Ernst & Young LLP expected to make a statement. In the event that a representative of either Grant Thornton LLP or Ernst & Young LLP, or both, is present at our annual meeting, such representative or representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if such representative or representatives so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions by shareholders. The affirmative vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at our annual meeting is required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPOINTMENT OF GRANT THORNTON LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2005.

Our audit committee has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the audit committee of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to the corporation by its independent auditors. Under the policy, the audit committee has pre-approved the provision by the corporation's independent auditors of specific audit, audit related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence. Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the audit committee must be submitted to the audit committee by the independent auditors, and it must advise the audit committee as to whether, in its view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules on auditor independence. The audit committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, and has currently delegated such authority to the chairman of the audit committee.

All proposals of shareholders intended to be included in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our annual meeting of shareholders for the year ending March 31, 2005 (the "2005 Annual Meeting") must be received by our corporation no later than March 18, 2005 (assuming that the 2005 Annual Meeting is held on a date that is within 30 days from the date of our annual meeting of shareholders to be held on August 25, 2004). All such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 138 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), both of which set forth specific requirements and limitations applicable to nominations and proposals at annual meetings of shareholders.

-20-

For any shareholder proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2005 Annual Meeting pursuant to the processes of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any proposal that is submitted under Section 138 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), notice of such proposal must be received by our corporation no later than June 1, 2005 (assuming that the 2005 annual meeting is held on a date that is within 30 days from the anniversary date of our annual meeting of shareholders to be held on August 25, 2004); otherwise, we may exercise, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, discretionary voting authority under proxies we solicit for the 2005 Annual Meeting.

All shareholder proposals, notices and requests should be made in writing and sent via registered, certified or express mail, to our corporation at Suite 1680, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4G1 Attention: Carolyn Gaines, Secretary.

With respect to business to be brought before the 2004 annual meeting to be held on August 25, 2004, we have not received any notices from shareholders that we were required to include in this proxy statement.

In December 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding", potentially means extra conveniences for security holders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are shareholders of our corporation will be "householding" our proxy materials. As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to shareholders of our corporation, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected shareholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker.

Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker.

Since the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Attention is directed to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004. A copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K has been sent, or is concurrently being sent, to all shareholders of record as of July 12, 2004.

In addition to the matters to be voted upon by the shareholders of our common shares, we will receive and consider both the Report of the Board of Directors to the Shareholders, and the financial statements of our corporation for the years ended March 31, 2004, March 31, 2003, and March 31, 2002, together with the auditors report thereon. These matters do not require shareholder approval, and therefore shareholders will not be required to vote upon these matters.

Except for the above-noted matters, our board of directors does not intend to bring any other matters before the meeting and does not know of any matters which will be brought before the meeting by others. If other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the solicited proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their good judgment.
