3.A.3. Exchange Rates

In this Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars ($). The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$).

The table sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian Dollar at the end of the five most recent fiscal periods ended December 31st, the average rates for the period and the range of high and low rates for the period. The data for each month during the previous twelve months is also provided.

For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar. The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

3.B. Capitalization and Indebtedness

Not applicable

3.D. Risk Factors

The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company operated three distinct business segments as follows:

Social Learning

The Company provides online English language learning and training services that are offered across a number of verticals.

Through its free-to-consumer www.speak2me.cn website, the Company operates one of the leading online English language learning community in China that includes a unique social-networking infrastructure. This website incorporates its proven pedagogy with fun, interactive lesson modules to address the rapidly growing need for spoken English in China and abroad. Speak2Me's platform uses speech recognition technology to teach spoken English online through more than 350 targeted lessons that engage users in interactive conversations with a virtual instructor. The www.speak2me.cn website generates its revenue from traditional digital advertising, as well as, its patent-pending Conversational Advertising™ platform. Conversational Advertising™ allows an advertiser to embed its brand and message inside a lesson that engages a user for 2-3 minutes. Speak2Me has developed an application that can be implemented in leading social networking sites by integrating Conversational Advertising™ as part of the App. In addition, Speak2Me earns royalty income from its local distributor through the selling of its stand-alone English language learning CD-ROM products in China.

English Language Learning Training

To further leverage its lesson library and technology platform, the Company has expanded its online offerings to include fee-based training solutions for corporations, governments, educational institutions, and consumers. This fee-based training service is available under the brand Parlo at www.parlo.com. In April 2010, Lingo Media introduced an off-the-shelf product called Parlo Business English that incorporates a reporting platform in the form of a Learning Management System for HR administrators. Parlo also offers customized solutions to tailor to clients’ needs. Parlo rebranded the original Parlo website as a consumer website that targets individual consumers internationally through a subscription model. Parlo will earn its revenues from seat licenses and subscription fees.

In May 2010, The Company acquired ELL Technologies which offers over 1,700 hours of interactive learning through a number of product offerings that include Q English, Q Business, Q Kids, and Q Traveler. ELL Technologies Limited sells in over 11 countries through a network of distributors and earns its revenues from licensing and subscription fees.

Print-Based English Language Learning

The Company continues to maintain its legacy business through its subsidiary Lingo Learning, a print-based publisher of English language learning programs in China since 2001. Lingo Learning has an established presence in China’s education market of 300 million students. To date, it has co-published more than 385 million units from its library of more than 340 program titles in China.

Discontinued Operations

In Canada, Lingo Media through its 70.33% subsidiary A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. ("A+") distributed early childhood cognitive development programs. In December 2008, A+ filed a Notice of Intent to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (“Proposal”) which was later approved by A+’s creditors in March 2009 and by the Superior Court of Justice in April 2009 who issued a Certificate of Full Performance of Proposal. A+ is currently inactive and its operating results are disclosed under discontinued operations.

The Company derives most of its revenue from doing business in China. If any of the following risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. In any such events, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our shares of common stock.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is subject to currency risk through its activities outside of Canada. Unfavourable changes in the exchange rate may affect the operating results of the Company. The Company is also exposed to currency risk as a substantial amount of its revenue is denominated in United States dollars ("USD") and Chinese Renminbi ("RMB").

Risk Factors Associated With Print-based English Language Learning

Business

We have not generated significant revenue to date in China, nor can we be assured of generating significant future revenues.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights in China, our competitors may develop and market products with similar features that may reduce demand for our products. It is nonetheless, difficult at best to protect intellectual property rights in China.

If our major customer and distributors of our products in China fail to devote sufficient time and resources to our business, or if their performance is substandard, our revenues will be adversely affected.

We currently have one key customer in China that represents 99% (2009: 99%) of the Company’s overall revenues.

We have no experience in directly distributing our products in China and no internal capability to do so yet.

Competition in the educational publishing industry in China is intense, and if we fail to compete effectively our financial results will suffer.

We have and will continue to establish collaborative relationships, and those relationships may expose us to a number of other unidentifiable risks.

If we are unable to retain key personnel and hire additional qualified sales and marketing, and other personnel, we may not be able to successfully achieve our goals.

We have international operations that expose us to additional business risks.

We may incur losses associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

Our share price may be volatile, and an investment in our common shares could suffer a decline in value.

Future sales of common shares by us or our existing shareholders may cause our stock price to fall.

We have never paid dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk Factors Associated With Online English Language Learning Business

Competitive Markets

We operate in competitive and evolving markets locally, nationally and globally. These markets are subject to rapid technological change and changes in customer preferences and demand. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain market acceptance or compete for market share. We must be able to keep current with the rapidly changing technologies, to adapt its services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of its services. New technologies could enable competitive product offerings and adversely affect us and our failure to adapt to such changes could seriously harm its business.

Economic Conditions

Unfavourable economic and market conditions could increase our financing costs, reduce demand for its products and services, limit access to capital markets and negatively impact any access to future credit facilities. Expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying patterns.

Dependence on Key Personnel

We are dependent upon the efforts, performance and commitment of senior officers and directors, who are responsible for the future development of this business. Shareholders and investors will be relying upon the business judgment, expertise and integrity of the Company’s management and directors. To the extent that the services of any senior officers or directors would be unavailable for any reason, a disruption to the operations could result, and other persons would be required to manage and operate the business. Our future success will also depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.

Acceptance of Corporate Advertising in an Educational Context

Speak2Me’s market research indicates that potential advertisers and its target demographic is receptive to the placement of corporate advertising in the context of a website devoted to education. However, Speak2Me is aware of the risk of political change in any country in which it is operating which may mean the local government regulators may no longer be willing to accept corporate advertising within its student network.

Parents and Students are Unwilling to Pay for Online Services

Offline English language learning instruction is a growing industry, but attempts to attract large numbers of paying students to subscription based online English language learning services have largely failed. Given that online consumption patterns in China are largely following trends already established in the West, and given that few industries and companies in the international markets have been able to establish thriving subscription-supported online services, a pure subscription model is unlikely to succeed in China.

Growth of Internet Advertising

Speak2Me is aware that the level of Internet advertising is currently low, especially in Asia and Latin American countries compared to the West. Speak2Me's forecast profitability is highly dependent on the assumption that Internet advertising will grow rapidly. The market for Internet advertising, content and services is intensely competitive and rapidly evolving. Speak2Me expects that competition will continue to increase, including in its target market in China. It is not difficult to enter this market, and current and new competitors, including companies in traditional media, can launch Internet sites rapidly.

Speak2Me Must Generate Online Advertising/Sponsorship Revenue

Speak2Me’s future success depends in part on its ability to establish, increase and sustain online advertising/sponsorship revenue, and therefore market and advertiser acceptance of Speak2Me's services will be important to the success of Speak2Me’s business. Speak2Me’s ability to generate advertising revenue will be directly affected by the number of users of its service. Speak2Me’s ability to generate advertising revenue will also depend on several other factors, including the level and type of market penetration of Speak2Me’s service, broadening its relationships with advertisers, its user base being attractive to advertisers, its ability to derive better demographic and other information from users, competition for advertising funds from other media and changes in the advertising industry and economy generally. Speak2Me’s expense levels are based in part on expectations of future revenue. Speak2Me may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Speak2Me anticipates that some of its advertising customers will not allow Speak2Me to place their advertisements next to other advertisements. Speak2Me may not always be successful at accommodating these orders. In such situations, inability to fulfill competing orders might cause Speak2Me to lose a potentially significant amount of revenue, particularly if the customer that cannot be accommodated chooses not to advertise with Speak2Me.

Maintenance of User Relationships

The ability of Speak2Me to attract and maintain users requires that it provide a competitive offering of products and services that meet the needs and expectations of its users. Speak2Me's ability to satisfy the needs or demands of its users may be adversely affected by factors such as the inability or failure to identify changing client needs or expectations or the inability to adapt in a timely and cost-effective manner to innovative products and services offered by competitors. In addition, Speak2Me must continue to attract and retain users to compete successfully for advertising revenue. Speak2Me cannot be sure that it will compete successfully with current or future competitors in sustaining or growing Speak2Me’s web site traffic levels and user levels. If Speak2Me fails to attract and retain more users, Speak2Me’s market share, brand acceptance and revenue would not scale, which would have a material adverse effect on Speak2Me’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Create Content and Services Accepted by Users

Success is dependent upon the ability to deliver original and compelling content and services for the online English language instruction software that attract and retain users in its target market. The ability to successfully develop and produce content and services is subject to numerous uncertainties, including the ability to:

●

Anticipate and successfully respond to rapidly changing consumer tastes and preferences;

●

Fund new content development;

●

Attract and retain qualified editors, writers, producers, and technical personnel;

●

Build brand loyalty among users; and

●

Build a sense of community among users and encourage use of the interactive features on Speak2Me’s website.

Failure Of Delivery Infrastructure to Perform Consistently

Our success as a business depends, in part, on its ability to provide consistently high quality online services to users via the Delivery Infrastructure. There is no guarantee that Parlo and/or Speak2Me’s Delivery Infrastructure and/or their software will not experience problems or other performance issues. If the Delivery Infrastructure or software fails or suffers performance problems, then it would likely affect the quality and interrupt the continuation of our services and significantly harm the business.

The Company’s Delivery Infrastructure is susceptible to natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss and sabotage, as well as interruptions from technology malfunctions, computer viruses and hacker attacks. Other potential service interruptions may result from unanticipated demands on network infrastructure, increased traffic or problems in customer service. Significant disruptions in the Delivery Infrastructure could harm the Company’s goodwill and the Parlo and Speak2Me brands and ultimately could significantly and negatively impact the amount of revenue it may earn from its service. Like all Internet transmissions, our services may be subject to interception and malicious attack. Pirates may be able to obtain or copy our products without paying fees. The Delivery Infrastructure is exposed to spam, viruses, worms, spyware, denial of service or other attacks by hackers and other acts of malice. The Company uses security measures intended to make theft of its software more difficult. However, if the Company is required to upgrade or replace existing security technology, the cost of such security upgrades or replacements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, profitability and cash flows.

Limited Intellectual Property Protection

Parlo and Speak2Me rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights. In addition, our success may depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patent protection and operate without infringing the rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that, once filed, the Company’s patent applications will be successful, that we will develop future proprietary products that are patentable, that any issued patents will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be successfully challenged by any third parties or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to do business. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate some or all of our products or, if patents are issued to Parlo and/or Speak2Me, design their products so as to circumvent the patent protection held by the Company. We will seek to protect its product documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws which afford only limited protection. Despite precautions taken by the Company, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our business and marketing plans or future strategic documents or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that the Company’s means of protecting its proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar or superior technology. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the propriety rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

Government Regulation and Licensing

The operations may be subject to Canadian and foreign provincial and/or state and federal regulations and licensing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the regulations or secure and maintain the required licensing for its operations. Government regulation and licensing could seriously impact our ability to achieve its financial and operational objectives. The Company is subject to local, provincial and/or state, federal, and international laws affecting companies conducting business on the Internet, including user privacy laws, laws giving special protection to children, regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices and laws addressing issues such as freedom of expression, pricing and access charges, quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. The restrictions imposed by and the costs of complying with, current and possible future laws and regulations related to its business could limit our growth and reduce client base and revenue.

Operating in Foreign Jurisdictions

The Company’s current and future development opportunities relate to geographical areas outside of Canada. There are a number of risks inherent in international business activities, including government policies concerning the import and export of goods and services, costs of localizing products and subcontractors in foreign countries, costs associated with the use of foreign agents, potentially adverse tax consequences, limits on repatriation of earnings, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, nationalization and possible social, labour, political and economic instability. There can be no assurance that such risks will not adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, a portion of expenditures and revenues will be in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange exposure may change over time with changes in the geographic mix of its business activities. Foreign currencies may be unfavourably impacted by global developments, country-specific events and many other factors. As a result, future results may be adversely affected by significant foreign exchange fluctuations.

Other Risk Factors

Dependence on Michael P. Kraft, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer

The Company’s future success is dependent on the success and ability of its key management and product development teams. The Company has obtained key man insurance on its senior executive in the amount of $1,000,000. The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, consultants or advisors, could adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company faces competition for such personnel from other companies and organizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel. The inability of the Company to retain and attract the necessary personnel or the loss of services of any of its key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Technological Changes May Reduce the Company’s Sale of Its Products and Services

The traditional publishing industry continues to experience technological change. The publishing industry continues to evolve from traditional mechanical format printing to full digital printing. The inability of the Company to keep pace with the new technologies and standards in the print industry could render its products and services non-competitive. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers by producing and marketing enhancements to its products and services that respond to customer requirements. The Company may be required to invest significant capital in order to remain competitive. A failure on the part of the Company to effectively manage a product transition will directly affect the demand for the Company’s products and the future profitability of the Company’s operations.

Exchange Rate Fluctuations May Reduce the Company’s Revenues or Increase the Company’s Expenses

The Company does transact some business involving currencies other than the Canadian currency in both purchasing and selling goods and services. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may have an adverse effect on the Company’s businesses.

Dependence on Key Contractors for Maintenance of High Quality Content

A key component of the continued success of the traditional publishing activities of the Company will be the ability of the Company to maintain high quality content. The Company must continue to develop new and innovative products to sustain its educational publishing activities in order to ensure the continued viability of the traditional publishing aspects of its business. Although the Company continues to retain experienced educators and editors to develop content for its educational publications, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue hiring experienced educators and editors to maintain the current high quality level of content for future publications.

Competition is Likely to Have a Tremendous Impact on our Business

The Company faces considerable competition from traditional educational publishing companies and from educational software providers in China both of which offer the same or similar services as are available from the Company’s traditional publishing operations. In addition, it is anticipated that as China becomes more open to foreign involvement for educational programs, the level of competition will further intensify.

We May Need Additional Capital in the Future and it May Not Be Available on Acceptable Terms

We may need to raise additional funds in order to finance our operations. The Company expects that corporate growth will be funded from equity and/or debt financing(s) to help generate needed capital. Insuring that capital is available to increase production; sales and marketing capacity; and to provide support materials and training in the market place and to expand is essential to success. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Risk of History of Losses

The Company has had a history of losses and there is no assurance that it can reach profitability in the future. The Company will require significant additional funding to meet its business objectives. Capital will need to be available to help expand not only the Company’s product line but also to improve market penetration and sales through an increasing distribution network.

Our Public Trading Market is Highly Volatile

The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "LM", and on NASD:OTC BB under the symbol “LMDCF” and are quoted on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange under the symbol “LIM.BE” and the German securities code is (WKN) 121226.

The market price of our common shares could fluctuate substantially due to:

■ Quarterly fluctuations in operating results;

■ Announcements of new products or services by us or our competitors;

■ Technological innovations by us or our competitors;

■ General market conditions or market conditions specific to our or our customer’s industries; or

Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board; a FINRA sponsored and operated quotation system for equity securities. It is a more limited trading market than the NASDAQ Capital Market, and timely, accurate quotations of the price of our common shares may not always be available. You may expect trading volume to be low in such a market. Consequently, the activity of only a few shares may affect the market and may result in wide swings in price and in volume.

Our common shares are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, and are subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g) 9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common shares is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trade involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies, have been highly volatile. Investors may not be able to sell their shares at or above the then current, OTC BB price. In addition, our results of operations during future fiscal periods might fail to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors. This failure could lead the market price of our common shares to decline.

There is Uncertainty as to the Company’s Shareholders’ Ability to Enforce Civil Liabilities Both Within and Outside of the United States

The preponderance of our assets are located outside the United States and are held through companies incorporated under the laws of Canada, Barbados, and Hong Kong and Representative Offices in China and Taiwan. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. In addition, investors may have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities laws of the United States or any State thereof.

4.B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Background

As of December 31, 2010, the Company operated three distinct business segments as follows:

Social Learning

The Company provides online English language learning and training services that are offered across a number of verticals.

English Language Learning Training

Print-Based English Language Learning

Discontinued Operations

Print-Based English Language Learning

Lingo Media’s strengths and opportunities lie in its approach to the development of original language learning materials including English as a Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) and English for Special Purposes (ESP). In China, the Company pre-sells its program to educational ministries through co-publishing with local publishers, while retaining full copyright ownership and distribution rights for all other markets.

China Publishing

Lingo Media has spent 12 years developing English as a Foreign Language (EFL), products, programs, and relationships in the Chinese market. Learning to communicate in English is seen as a top priority for Chinese school students and young adult learners. Along with learning how to use a PC, English skills are perceived as a key determinant of their future levels of prosperity. The Company’s EFL book, audio and CD-based programs are unique in that they have a special focus on the spoken language. In addition to developing learning materials, considerable resources have been expended on the development of relationships with leading Chinese publishers, both in the education and trade sectors, as well as in extensive marketing of Lingo Media’s programs.

The Company is capitalizing on its co-development approach in the Chinese market. Lingo Media sees its relationships with leading Chinese publishers; its Canadian and Chinese author teams; and its original custom-developed content as key factors in opening up the Chinese educational market. The Company has secured long-term publishing contracts for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) and higher educational markets, which it anticipates will generate ongoing revenue streams from the sale of its programs.

Co-Publishing Partners in China

People's Education Press

People's Education Press (“PEP”) a division of China's State Ministry of Education, publishes more than 60% of educational materials for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (“K-12”) market throughout China, for all subjects, including English Language Learning. PEP has a readership of more than 120 million students. Lingo Learning has four programs with PEP. Three series target the elementary market of 100 million students: PEP Primary English (for Grades 3-6; Chinese students now begin learning English in Grade 3); Starting Line (Grades 1-6); and Beginning English for Young Learners (Grades 1 and 2). The Reading Practice series is for junior middle school students. All series include the core textbooks in addition to supplemental activity books, audiocassettes, teacher resource books, and other materials.

Phoenix Publishing & Media Group

Phoenix Publishing & Media Group was established in September 2001. The group is engaged in publishing, printing and distribution of books, periodicals, newspapers, electronic and audiovisual products as well as printing material and copyright trade. As a result of marketing and multiple investments, it is now one of the most influential large-scale Chinese publishing and media groups. With a registered capital of 720 million RMB, it achieved a sales value of 12 billion RMB in 2009. In 2009, the group was ranked number 398 on the list of 1000 largest Chinese enterprises and employs nearly 11,000 people. Lingo Learning has co-published and launched Lingo College English with Yilin Press, one of the subsidiary publishing companies.

China International Publishing Group

Dolphin Books is a subsidiary of China's largest trade publishing group, China International Publishing Group (“CIPG”). CIPG develops and distributes books to Chinese retail bookstores, in addition to producing selected texts and supplemental books for the educational market. Lingo Learning co-published with CIPG the English for Hosts book and audiocassette package. Dolphin Books publishes children’s books and distributes these books in over 180 countries.

The Lingo Media Approach

Lingo Media specializes in publishing materials for language learning. Lingo Media focuses on two sectors: English as a Second Language (ESL) in English-speaking countries and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in China.

The key to publishing successful EFL programs are two simple concepts: quality and relevance. Our core philosophy says that English language learning materials should be relevant to the market we are trying to reach. Our approach involves:

Researching and Understanding the Market

The process began with relationship building and communication. We talk with key organizations, associations and ministries in each country to better understand their needs and concerns. We looked for the right niche for Lingo Media, and then sought out local partners to aid in the marketing and implementation of our programs. Moreover, we searched for individuals in China who manage the Company’s affairs. These individuals become our links to China's community and culture.

Bilateral Relationships

With Lingo Media liaisons in place, our goal is to assure that our English Language Learning materials meet the highest educational standards.

Constant Monitoring of Effectiveness

Our people in the field in China are constantly monitoring the effectiveness of our programs; they ask and answer the crucial questions - Does the material serve the intended audience?

Comprehensive Product Development

Because we know that a language learning program needs to serve a number of different groups, we considered the requirements of all of the ultimate users: administrators, teachers and students. Each group has its own perspective. We developed an approach that works for all.

Collaborative Partnerships

With local partners and educational organizations involved with the process of implementing programs, they are pleased with the results. Our partners are involved in all stages of program marketing, implementation and monitoring – in effect they are strategic team members.

Bilateral Development

September 2001 marked the first official launch of a Lingo Media program entitled PEP Primary English. The program was developed by an international team of respected educational writers: Jack Booth, David Booth, Linda Booth and Larry Swartz (award winning Canadian authors of the elementary language arts series Impressions), together with Yuexin Wu from Wuxi Normal School and PEP’s English Editorial Team.

Relevant Material

We know how to listen. Our teams ensure that program material is relevant and culturally appropriate, as well as educationally sound.

Social Learning

The Company provides online English language learning and training services that are offered across a number of verticals.

5.A Overview

Lingo Media is a diversified online and print-based education products and services company focused on English language learning ("ELL") on an international scale through its four distinct business units. ELL Technologies Limited (“ELL Technologies”) is a globally-established ELL multi-media and online training company offering institutional, corporate, and retail solutions. Parlo Corporation (“Parlo”) is a fee-based online ELL training and assessment service. Speak2Me Inc. (“Speak2Me”) is a free-to-consumer advertising-based online ELL service in China, and Lingo Learning Inc. (“Lingo Learning”) is a print-based publisher of ELL programs in China. Lingo Media has formed successful relationships with key government and industry organizations, establishing a strong presence in China’s education market of 300 million students. The Company continues to broaden its presence in China as well as other major English language learning markets, to provide access to world-class English learning and training solutions on a global scale. In Canada, Lingo Media through its 70.33% subsidiary A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. ("A+") specialized in distributing early childhood cognitive development programs. In December 2008, A+ filed a Notice of Intent to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (“Proposal”) which was later approved by A+’s creditors and by the Superior Court of Justice in April 2009. Upon final payment, the Company received the Certificate of Full Performance of Proposal A+ is currently inactive and its operating results are disclosed under discontinued operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions.

In management’s opinion, revenue recognition, development costs, deferred costs, acquired publishing content and use of estimates as presented in the financial statements of the year ended December 31, 2010 are critical accounting policies and are as follows:

Revenue recognition:

The Company earns advertising revenue through Speak2Me, a free-to-consumer advertising-based online ELL service focused on interactive English language learning in China. Speak2Me develops targeted Conversational Advertising™ lessons which are available to users of www.speak2me.cn free of charge. Revenues earned from Conversational Advertising™ are recognized as these lessons are featured on www.speak2me.cn and when collectability is reasonably assured. Speak2Me has English language learning CD-ROM products which generate royalty revenue from its Shanghai-based distributor. Revenue is recognized upon the confirmation of sales from the distributor and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Parlo earns training revenue by developing and hosting online English language learning solutions for its customers, both off the shelf and customized solutions. Revenue is recognized equally over the term of the agreement upon the lessons becoming accessible by the customer and when collectability is reasonably assured.

ELL earns training revenue through sales of its Q group products. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the training courses to the end client through the distributor.

Lingo Learning earns royalty revenues from its key customer, People’s Education Press (“PEP”), who is the Chinese Government’s State Ministry of Education’s publishing arm, on the following basis:

●	Finished Product Sales – PEP prints and sells Lingo Media’s ELL programs to provincial distributors in China; and

●	Licensing Sales – PEP licenses Lingo Media’s ELL programs to provincial publishers who then print and sell the programs to provincial distributors in China.

Lingo Media earns a significantly higher royalty rate from Finished Product Sales compared to Licensing Sales.

In accordance with the co-publishing agreement between PEP and Lingo Media, PEP pays to Lingo Media a royalty on print runs of textbooks and supplemental products called Finished Product Sales and PEP pays to Lingo Media a percentage of their royalties earned on actual revenues called Licensing Sales. PEP provides Lingo Media with print run reconciliations on a semi-annual basis, as their reporting systems are unable to provide quarterly sales information. Revenue is recognized upon the confirmation of such sales and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Royalty revenues from PEP’s audiovisual-based products are recognized upon the confirmation of sales, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenues are not subject to right of return or product warranties. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized upon delivery and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectibles are reasonably assured.

Royalty revenues from audiovisual products are recognized upon the confirmation of sales, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenues are not subject to right of return or product warranties.

Deferred costs, investment and advances:

The pre-operating costs relating to establishing a joint venture in China are recorded as deferred costs. Pre-operating costs are capitalized until the commencement of commercial operations and then amortized on a straight-line basis, over a maximum of five years. Loans made in trust with a view to establishing a joint venture are recorded as investment and advances. The carrying value of these deferred costs and advances are assessed on a periodic basis to determine if a write-down is required. Any required write-down is charged to operations in the year such write-down is determined to be necessary.

In June 2005, the Company signed a definitive Joint Venture Agreement (“JV Agreement”) with Sanlong Cultural Communication Co. Ltd. (“Sanlong”). The joint venture company will be known as Hebei Jintu Education Book Co. Ltd. (“Jintu”). The Company has incurred and advanced a total of $339,939 to the joint venture. The Company intended to utilize the sales channel of Jintu to localize and distribute product of A+. Since A+ filed a Proposal the Company has written-off its investment in the joint venture.

Publishing Development Costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to English Language Learning products and programs in accordance with Section 3064, ("Goodwill and Intangible Assets") of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook. The carrying value is assessed on a periodic basis to determine if a write-down is required. Any required write-down is charged to operations in the year such write-down is determined to be necessary. Amortization of the capitalized costs begins when the programs are starting to be sold and they are amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

Software and Web Development Costs

The company capitalizes all costs related to the development of its free-to-consumer and fee-based English language learning service in accordance with Section 3064, (“Goodwill and Intangible Assets”) of the CICA Handbook. The Company reviews the carrying values of its software & web development costs and evaluates the carrying value of these assets based on the undiscounted value of expected future cash flows when indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value exceeds the amount recoverable, a write-down of the asset to its estimated fair value would be charged to operations in the year such a write-down is determined to be necessary. Amortization of the capitalized costs begins when the products are starting to be sold and are amortized on a straight line basis over three years.

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 amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Company has products in various phases of development at any time during the year. Each product’s economic viability is determined by management, after appropriate testing has been completed. When a product is deemed viable, its accumulated development costs are recorded and amortized over the estimated period of economic viability. The accumulated development costs of any product not considered to be economically viable are considered unrecoverable and included in the current year's earnings.

Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation of its collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. Provisions are made for slow moving and obsolete inventory. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of Property and Equipment.

The amounts disclosed relating to fair values of stock options issued are based on management’s estimates of expected stock price volatility, expected lives of the options, risk-free interest rates and certain other assumptions using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty.

The calculation of future income tax is based on assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Future income tax recorded is also subject to uncertainty regarding the magnitude of non-capital losses available for carry forward and of the balances in various tax pools as the corporate tax returns have not been prepared as of the date of financial statement preparation. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the consolidated financial statements from changes in such estimates in future years could be significant.

Operating Results

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010 vs. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue and Margin

Lingo Media earned print-based English language learning revenues in China as follows:

Direct costs associated to revenue from PEP are kept to a minimum and has been consistent throughout the years. The Company continues to maintain its relationship with PEP and is investing in the development of new programs to maintain and increase its royalty revenues.

Publishing revenue from China for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by 2.8% compared to fiscal 2009. This increase is mainly attributed to the increased royalty through licensing sales to local publishers rather than direct sales made by PEP. Since the State Ministry of Education has mandated the increase of licensing sales vs. direct sales to local publishers, PEP had increased its licensing sales revenues. The Company expects this trend to continue but it does not have any control over PEP’s attempt to enter into licensing sales vs. direct sales with additional local publishers.

Each year, the amount of any grant may vary depending on certain eligibility criteria (including prior year revenues) and the monies available to the pool of eligible candidates.

These government grants are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the grant. During the year, the Company recorded $85,648 of such grants. Certain government grants are repayable in the event the Company's annual net income for each of the previous two years exceeds 15% of revenue and at such time a liability would be recorded. During the year, the conditions for the repayment of government grants were not met and no liability was recorded.

During 2008, Lingo Media was audited by a government grant agency and was assessed with a repayment of $115,075. The Company believes this claim is unjust and is vigorously disputing the assessment. At the end of the year, a provision of $55,000 has been recorded in general and administrative expenses. While the Company is in contact with the government agency, the dispute is ongoing and there are no further updates at this time.

While the Company will continue to apply for various government grants to fund its ongoing development and market expansion, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in obtaining these grants in the future, that the Company will meet the eligibility requirements for the grants or that the programs will still be offered.

Foreign Exchange

Included in general and administrative expenses is a foreign exchange loss of approximately $24,181 as compared to a loss of approximately $158,546 in fiscal 2009, relating to the Company's currency risk through its activities denominated in foreign currencies as the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a significant portion of its revenue and expenses are denominated in US Dollars, New Taiwanese Dollars, European Euros, and Chinese Renminbi.

Total current assets amounted to $1,255,472 (2009 - $847,976) with current liabilities of $3,220,581 (2009 - $723,113) resulting in a working capital deficit of ($1,965,109) (2009 - working capital of $124,863). On March 4, 2011, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement for $2,195,200 in proceeds.

Cash used for discontinued operation was $nil at the end of 2010 compared to cash used for discontinued operations of ($332,700) for the year ended 2009. This increase was a result of the payments made to facilitate the Proposal in 2009. This Proposal was filed and approved by creditors of A+ on March 27, 2009 which significantly reduced the liability from the operation.

The Company receives government grants based on certain eligibility criteria for international marketing support and publishing industry development in Canada. These government grants are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the grant. The Company receives these grants throughout the year from different agencies and government programs. Each grant is applied for separately based on the Company meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company has relied on obtaining these grants for its operations and has been successful at securing them in the past, but it cannot be assured of obtaining these grants in the future.

Government grants received during the year were $85,648 compared to $95,759 during 2009, this amount includes a one-time reduction of $100,000 based on anticipated adjustment for a prior period grant. During 2008, the Company was audited by a government grant agency and was assessed with a repayment amount of $115,075. The Company believes their claim is unjust and is vigorously disputing the assessment. At the end of the year, a provision of $55,000 has been recorded in general and administrative expense.

The Company plans on raising additional equity through private placement financings, as the capital markets permit, in an effort to finance its growth plans for the China market in addition to financing expansion into international markets. The Company has been successful in raising sufficient working capital in the past.

The Company has incurred significant losses over the years. This raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional financing through the issuance of equity, debt financing, sales contracts and distribution agreements. The outcome of these matters is partially dependent on factors outside of the Company’s control.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $201,451 compared to $2,279,937 at the end of 2008. This decrease resulted from the loss of $2.5 million and an investment of $920,000 for the development of our software and web products. Accounts and grants receivable of $569,571 were outstanding at the end of 2009 compared to $642,543 at the end of 2008 as the Company collected its receivables faster than in 2008. 93% of the receivables are from PEP, their collection cycle is normally 180 days, and the Company is aware of the collection cycle and as such it does not anticipate an effect on its liquidity. Total current assets amounted to $847,976 (2008 - $3,117,249) with current liabilities of $723,113 (2008 - $1,321,411) resulting in a working capital of $124,863 (2008 - working capital of $1,795,836).

Cash used for discontinued operation was ($332,700) at the end of 2009 compared to cash provided by discontinued operations was $10,657 for the year ended 2008; this decrease was a result of the payments made to facilitate the Proposal. This Proposal was filed and approved by creditors of A+ on March 27, 2009 which significantly reduced the liability from the operation.

Government grants received during the year were $95,759 compared to $110,430 during 2008, this amount includes a one-time reduction of $45,000 based on anticipated adjustment for a prior period grant. During 2008, the Company was audited by a government grant agency and was assessed with a repayment amount of $115,075. The Company believes their claim is unjust and is vigorously disputing the assessment. At the end of the year, a provision of $45,000 has been recorded in general and administrative expense.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2008

As at December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,279,937 (2007 $377,127), and accounts and grants receivable of $642,543 (2007 - $958,179).

In October 2008, the Company successfully completed a private placement with Orascom Telecom of $5 million by issuing 2,857,143 units at a price of $1.75 per unit (“Unit”), with each Unit consisting of one common share (“Common Share”) and three-quarters (0.75) of one share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant is exercisable to acquire one further Common Share for a period of 24 months from September 15, 2008 (the “Closing Date“): (i) at a price of $4.00 for a period of 12-months from the Closing Date; (ii) at a price of $6.00 per Common Share if exercised between 12-18 months from the Closing Date; and (iii) at a price of $8.00 per Common Share if exercised between 18-24 months from the Closing Date. The Warrants are callable, 120 days after the Closing Date, at the option of Lingo Media, in the event the Common Shares of the Company trade at or over 50% above the strike price of the Warrant for 10 consecutive trading days.

During 2008, the Company repaid loans in the amount of $783,620. As at December 31, 2008, A+ had a revolving line of credit outstanding in the amount of $80,986 (2007 - $230,000) bearing interest at prime plus 4% per annum. This bank facility is secured by a general security agreement and a short-term investment of $150,000. The term of the revolving line of credit requires that certain measurable covenants be met. As at December 31, 2008, the Company was in violation of certain covenants and the Company subsequently paid down and closed the line of credit. The line of credit outstanding at year end is presented as part of current liabilities of discontinued operations.

Government grants received during the year were $110,430 compared to $164,545 during 2007, this amount includes a one time reduction of $45,000 based on anticipated adjustment for a prior period grant. During 2008, the Company was audited by a government grant agency and was assessed with a repayment amount of $115,075. The Company believes their claim is unjust and is vigorously disputing the assessment. At the end of the year, a provision of $45,000 has been recorded in general and administrative expense.

The Company plans on raising additional equity through private placements, as the capital markets permit, in an effort to finance its growth plans into international markets in addition to financing growth capital for the China market. The Company has been successful in raising sufficient working capital in the past.

Reconciliation of Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"):

Development Costs

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company capitalized costs related to English Language Learning products and programs and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over periods of up to five years. Under United States GAAP, these costs are expensed as incurred per SFAS No. 2, Research and Development Costs.

Statement of Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Components of comprehensive income or loss include net income or loss and all other changes in other non-owner changes in equity, such as the change in the cumulative translation adjustment and the unrealized gain or loss for the year on "available-for-sale" securities. For all periods presented, comprehensive loss is the same as loss for the year under US GAAP.

Calculation of Loss for the Year

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as applied in Canada. In the following respects, GAAP as applied in the United States differs from that applied in Canada.

If United States GAAP were employed, the loss in each year would be adjusted as follows:

Expressed in Canadian Dollars	2010			2009			2008

Loss for the year - Canadian GAAP	$	(3,679,127	)		(1,466,184	)		(2,311,474	)
Impact of US GAAP and adjustments:
Amortization of development costs(a)		15,211			89,375			128,478
Amortization of software and web development costs		2,230,131			1,395,736			-
Development cost write-off (a)		-			-			(218,795	)
Deferred cost write-off (b)		-			-			157,419
Software and web development cost (c)		(312,745	)		(922,322	)		(880,846	)
Loss from continuing operations - United States GAAP		(1,746,530	)		(2,396,266	)		(3,125,218	)
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations - United States GAAP		-			367,293			(1,571,369	)
Loss for the year - United States GAAP	$	(1,746,530	)		(2,028,973	)		(4,696,587	)

Calculation of Earnings per Share:

Under both US and Canadian GAAP, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income for the year available to common shareholders, as measured by the respective accounting principles (numerator), by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that year (denominator). Basic earnings per share exclude the dilutive effect of potential common shares.

Diluted earnings per share under Canadian GAAP and US GAAP give effect to all potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP as required by SFAS 128:

Expressed in Canadian Dollars	2010			2009			2008
Numerator for basic and diluted income (loss) per share:
Income (loss) – US GAAP		(1,746,530	)		(2,028,973	)		(4,696,587	)
Denominator for basic and diluted (loss) per share:
Weighted average common shares		13,277,226			12,460,930			10,426,861
Basic and diluted loss per share – US GAAP	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.45	)

5.E Research and Development

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company expended $4,234,283 and $4,757,807 on research and development, under the categories of “development costs”, “software and web development costs” and “deferred costs”. These expenditures in 2010 and 2009 were primarily directed at developing the Parlo and ELL products for the international market.

5.F Trend Information

Lingo Media believes that the trend in English language learning in China is strong and growing. The State Ministry of Education in China (“MOE”) is expanding its mandate for the teaching of English learning programs to students. Although the outlook for learning English in China remains positive, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue or that the Company will benefit from this trend.

5.F Tabular disclosure of contractual obligations

Our obligations as of December 31, 2010, were as follows:

Expressed in Canadian Dollars

The Company has future minimum lease payments under operating leases for premises and equipment as well as obligations under a consulting agreement as follows:

2011	$	284,602
2012	$	181,583
2013	$	187,235
2014	$	188,365
2015	$	188,365
2016	$	38,122

The rent expense associated with operating lease for premise and equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Stock Options

TSX Venture Exchange Rules and Policies

The terms and conditions of incentive options granted by the Company are done in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX VEN"), including the number of common shares under option, the exercise price and expiration date of such options, and any amendments thereto.

Such “terms and conditions”, including the pricing of the options, expiration and the eligibility of personnel for such stock options; are described below.

The TSX VEN policy in respect of incentive stock options provides that shareholder approval is not required if the aggregate number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options does not exceed 10% of the issued common shares of the Company, 5% to any one individual and 2% to any consultant at the time of granting.

Shareholder approval of the grant of incentive stock options is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX VEN where the grant will result in the Company having options outstanding which, in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over 10% (to a maximum of 20%) of the outstanding common shares of the Company.

In addition, disinterested shareholders (all shareholders excluding insiders and associates of insiders) approval is required pursuant to the rules of the TSX VEN where:

(a) grant of incentive stock options could result at any time in:

(i) the Company having options outstanding to insiders which,

in aggregate, are exercisable to acquire over 20% of the

outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(ii) the issuance to insiders, within a one year period, of

common shares which, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the

outstanding common shares of the Company; or

(iii) the issuance to any one insider and such insider's

associates, within a one year period, of common shares

which, in aggregate, exceed 5% of the outstanding common

shares of the Company; or

(iv) the issuance to any consultant of common shares which, in

aggregate, exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares of

the Company; or

(b) the Company is proposing to decrease the exercise price of

stock options held by any insiders.

Company Stock Option Plan

A new stock option plan (the "2005 Plan") was adopted by the board of directors in May 30, 2005 and approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual and special Meeting of shareholders on June 30, 2005 to encourage ownership of common shares by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is limited to 5,421,342 common shares, representing approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at June 30, 2005, less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options previously granted.

Options may be granted under the 2005 Plan only to directors, officers, employees, consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and personal holding corporations controlled by a director or officer of the Company and its subsidiaries as designated from time to time by the board of directors of the Company. The maximum number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 2005 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism. Any shares subject to an option granted under the 2005 Plan that for any reason is cancelled or terminated prior to exercise will be available for a subsequent grant under the 2005 Plan. The option price of any common shares cannot be less than the closing price of the shares on the day immediately preceding the day upon which the option is granted less any permitted discount. Options granted under the 2005 Plan may be exercised during a period not exceeding five years, subject to earlier termination upon the termination of the optionee's employment, upon the optionee ceasing to be an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or an of its subsidiaries, as applicable, or upon the optionee retiring, becoming permanently disabled or dying. Options granted to optionees vest over an 18 month period with no greater than 16.67% of any options granted to an optionee vesting in any three month period or such longer period as the board may determine. The options under the 2005 Plan are non-transferable. The 2005 Plan contains provisions for adjustment in the number of shares issuable thereunder in the event of a subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change of the common shares, a merger or other relevant changes in the Company's capitalization.

The 2005 Plan provides that the Company may provide financial assistance in respect of options granted under the 2005 Plan by means of loans to optionees. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, the Company may, but is not obligated to, loan to an optionee the funds required to exercise any particular option. The 2005 Plan provides that any such loan will be for a term not exceeding 10 years and will be non-interest bearing. Any such loan will be repayable at maturity or upon the death of the optionee or earlier in certain other circumstances. Any loans made under the 2005 Plan are to be secured by a pledge of the shares acquired upon the exercise of the option exercised being funded to a trustee for such purposes. In the event that any loan amount is not fully repaid when due the trustee holding the pledged shares is entitled to realize on the shares being held by it as security for the loan. Loans made under the 2005 Plan are made on a full recourse basis. The 2005 Plan provides that any shares acquired pursuant to loans made under the 2005 Plan may be sold by the optionee from time to time provided that an amount equal to the aggregate option exercise price or the balance of the loan is applied in repayment of the loan. Any financial assistance so provided under the 2005 Plan will be subject to and made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulatory policies at the time of making the loan.

On July 5, 2006 and October 5, 2007, the Company's shareholders ratified and approved an increase in the number of common shares eligible to be issued under the Company's 2005 Plan to approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares as at the date of the respective shareholders meetings. Currently the 2005 Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance and which could be purchased upon the exercise of all options granted thereunder could not exceed 6,558,820, which number represented approximately 20% of the 32,794,102 issued and outstanding as at the Company’s last Annual and Special Meeting held on October 5, 2007 (“2007 Shareholder’s Meeting”).

At the 2007 Shareholder’s Meeting, the Company's shareholders also approved a consolidation of the Company's issued share capital on the basis of one (1) new for seven (7) old common shares (the "Consolidation"). As a result, the number of common shares eligible to be issued under the Company's 2005 Plan was also reduced on a one (1) for seven (7) basis.

On October 14, 2008, August 18, 2009 and September 23, 2010, the Company's shareholders ratified and approved an increase in the number of common shares eligible to be issued under the Company's Stock Option Plan to approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares as at the date of the respective shareholders meetings.

On September 23, 2010, the Company’s shareholders also approved the removal of the required vesting provisions and instead permits the Board to determine any vesting provisions at the time of option grant. Notwithstanding, all options granted to persons engaged in investor relations activities shall vest in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Finally, the amended and restated Stock Option Plan increases the maximum term that an option may be exercised from five (5) years to ten (10) years.

Currently, the 2005 Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance and which could be purchased upon the exercise of all options granted thereunder could not exceed 2,703,171, which number represents approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company as at the record date of the Company’s last Annual and Special Meeting held on September 23, 2010.

As of the date hereof, options to purchase an aggregate of 2,456,070 common shares are outstanding under the 2005 Plan.

The names and titles of the Directors/Executive Officers of the Company to whom outstanding stock options have been granted and the number of common shares subject to such options are set forth in the Table below as of June 30, 2011, as well as the number of options granted to Directors and officers as a group.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING

9.A.4. Common Share Trading Information

The Company's common shares began trading on the Alberta Stock Exchange in Calgary, Alberta, Canada under its former name Alpha Ventures Inc. in November 1996. The Alberta Stock Exchange was absorbed by the Canadian Venture Exchange, which was absorbed by the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”). The Company’s listing was automatically transferred from the Alberta Stock Exchange to the Exchange as a Tier 2 company. The current stock symbol on the Exchange is “LM”. The CUSIP number is 5357441065.

The Exchange currently classifies Issuers into different tiers based on standards, including historical financial performance, stage of development and financial resources of the Issuer at the time of listing. Specific Minimum Listing Requirements for each industry segment in each of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 have been established by the Exchange.

Policy 2.1 of the Exchange outlines the Minimum Listing Requirements for each industry segment in Tier 1 and Tier 2. Under this policy, Lingo Media Corporation is a Tier 2 Issuer in the industry segment category of Junior Industrial. Each industry segment is further divided into categories. Quantitative minimum requirements for listing for the industry segment Junior Industrial and Tier 2 are provided in Section 4.3 of Exchange Policy 2.1.

Similarly, Policy 2.5 of the Exchange sets out the minimum standards to be met by Issuers to continue to qualify for listing in each Tier, referred to as Tier Maintenance Requirements (“TMR”). A Tier 2 Issuer which fails to meet one of the Tier 2 TMR will not automatically be suspended or designated as “Inactive”. The Exchange will provide notice of failure to meet one of the Tier 2 TMR and will allow the Issuer 6 months from the date of notice to meet the requirement, failing which the Exchange may designate the Issuer as Inactive. If a Tier 2 Issuer fails to meet more than one Tier 2 TMR, notice will be given to the Issuer by the Exchange and if the requirements are not met within 90 days of the notice, the Exchange will designate the Issuer as Inactive and apply the restrictions on Inactive Issuers retroactively. An Inactive Issuer may continue to trade on Tier 2 of the Exchange for 18 months from the date it is designated as Inactive. If the Issuer does not meet all of the applicable Tier 2 TMR within that 18 month period, its listed shares may be suspended from trading by the Exchange.

To maintain a listing as an active Tier 2 Issuer, an Issuer must meet all Tier 2 TMR for its industry segment as set out in Section 4 of the Exchange Policy 2.5.

debt obligations of the Corporation.

Delegation of Power to Borrow, Bylaws – Section 3.11

The board may by resolution delegate all or any of the powers conferred on them by paragraphs (i) and (iii) of section 3.10 hereof, to any one or more of the directors, the Managing Director, the executive committee, the Chairman of the Board (if any), the President, any Vice-President, the Secretary, the Treasurer, any Assistant Secretary, any Assistant Treasurer or the General Manager.

Director Qualification and Retirement

Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company discuss the retirement or non-retirement of directors under an age limit requirement, and there is no number of shares required for director qualification.

Description of Rights, Preferences and Restrictions

Attaching to Each Class of Shares

a) Class/Number of Shares. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that: the Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares, namely an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without nominal or par value (“Preferred Shares”) and an unlimited number of Common Shares (“Common Shares”).

b) Common Shares. The holders of Common Shares shall be entitled:

1) to vote at all meetings of shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote, and on every poll taken at every such meeting, or adjourned meeting, every holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share held; and

2) subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares, to receive the remaining property of the Corporation upon a dissolution; and

3) subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares, to receive all other dividends declared by the Corporation.

c) Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares as a class shall carry and be subject to the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions:

Directors’ Rights to Issue in One or More Series.

The Preferred Shares may at any time or from time to time be issued in one or more series, each series to consist of such number of shares as may before the issue thereof be determined by the Directors by resolution; the Directors of the Company may (subject as hereinafter provided) by resolution fix, from time to time before the issued thereof, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of such series including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing (1) the issue price, (2) the rate, amount or method of calculation of dividends and whether the same are subject to change of dividends and whether the same are subject to change or adjustment, (3) whether such dividends shall be cumulative, non-cumulative or partly cumulative, (4) the dates, manner and currencies of payments of dividends and the dates from which dividends shall accrue, (5) the redemption and/or purchase prices and terms and conditions of redemption and/or purchase, with or without provision for sinking or similar funds, (6) conversion and/or exchange and/or classification rights, (7) the voting rights if any, and/or (8) other provisions, the whole subject to the following provisions, and to the issue of Certificate(s) of Amendment setting forth such designations, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of each series.

Ranking of Preferred Shares.

The Preferred Shares shall be entitled to preference over the Common Shares of the Corporation and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs and may also be given such other preferences not inconsistent with paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof over the Common Shares of the Corporation and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares as may be determined in the case of each series of Preferred Shares authorized to be issued.

Amendment with Approval of Holders of Preferred Shares.

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares as a class may be repealed, altered, modified, amended or amplified by Certificate(s) of Amendment, but in each case with the approval of the holders of Preferred Shares (only as a class but not as individual series) given as hereinafter specified.

Approval of Holders of Preferred Shares.

Subject to the Provisions of the Business Corporations Act, any consent or approval given by the holders of Preferred Shares as a class shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if it shall have been given in writing by the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/³%) of the outstanding Preferred Shares or by a resolution passed at a meeting of holders of Preferred Shares duly called and held upon not less than fifteen days’ notice at which the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are present or are represented by proxy and carried by the affirmative vote of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the votes cast at such meetings, in addition to any other consent or approval required by the Business Corporation Act. If at any such meeting the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are not present or represented by proxy within one-half hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such date not less than fifteen days thereafter and to such time and place as may be designated by the Chairman, and not less than ten days’ written notice shall be given of such adjourned meeting. At such adjourned meeting the holders of the Preferred Shares present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened and a resolution passed by the affirmative vote of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the votes cast at such meeting shall constitute the consent or approval of the holders of Preferred Shares. On every poll taken at every meeting, every holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each share held. Subject to the foregoing, the formalities to be observed in respect of the giving or waiving of notice of any such meeting and the conduct thereof shall be those from time to time prescribed in the Bylaws of the Corporation with respect to meetings of shareholders. Any consent or approval given by the holders of Preferred Shares or a series as a class shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if in the same manner as provided herein regarding holders of Preferred Shares as a class.

d) Dividend Rights. The Company’s Bylaws provide that holders of common shares shall be entitled to receive dividends and the Company shall pay dividends thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company out of moneys properly applicable to the payment of dividends, in such amount and in such form as the board of directors may from time to time determine and all dividends which the directors may declare on the common shares shall be declared and paid in equal amounts per share on all common shares at the time outstanding, subject to the prior rights of any shares ranking senior to the common shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends.

e) Voting Rights. Neither the Company’s Bylaws nor its Articles of Incorporation provide for the election or re-election of directors at staggered intervals.

f) Redemption Provisions. The Company may purchase any of its issued common shares subject to the provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act.

g) Sinking Fund Provisions. Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain sinking fund provisions.

h) Liability to Further Capital Calls by the Company. Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain provisions allowing the Company to make further capital calls with respect to any shareholder of the Company.

i) Discriminatory Provisions Based on Substantial Ownership. Neither the Company’s Articles of Incorporation nor its Bylaws contain provisions that discriminate against any existing or prospective holders of securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

j) Miscellaneous Provisions. Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company address the process by which the rights of holders of stock may be changed. The general provisions of the Ontario Business Corporations Act apply to this process, and require shareholder meetings and independent voting for such changes.

A meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by resolution or by the Chairman of the Board or by the President and the Secretary shall cause notice of a meeting of shareholders to be given when directed so to do by resolution of the board or by the Chairman or the Board or the President.

The board shall call an annual meeting of the shareholders not later than eighteen (18) months after the Corporation comes into existence and subsequently not later than fifteen (15) months after holding the last preceding annual meeting.

A special meeting of shareholders may be called at any time and may be held in conjunction with an annual meeting of shareholders.

Meeting of shareholders shall be held at the place within Canada determined by the board from time to time. Notwithstanding the above subsection, a meeting of shareholders may be held outside Canada if all the shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting so agree, and a shareholder who attends a meeting of shareholders held outside Canada is deemed to have so agreed except when he attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully held.

Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor the Bylaws of the Company discuss limitations on the rights to own securities or exercise voting rights thereon.

Although not expressly enumerated in the Articles, pursuant to Canadian regulations, shareholder ownership must be disclosed by any shareholder who owns more than 10% of the Company’s common stock.

There is no provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition, or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries). The Company’s Bylaws do not contain a provision indicating the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. With respect to the matters discussed in this Item 10B, the law applicable to the Company is not significantly different from United States law. Neither the Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws contain provisions governing changes in capital that are more stringent than the conditions required by law.

The Ontario Business Corporations Act contains provisions that require a "special resolution" for effecting certain corporate actions. Such a "special resolution" requires a three-quarters vote of shareholders rather than a simple majority for passage. The principle corporate actions for which the Company would require a "special resolution" include:

a. Changing its name;

b. Changing the place where its registered office is situated;

c. Adding, changing or removing any restriction on the business

or businesses that the corporation may carry on;

d. Certain reorganizations of the corporation and alterations of

share capital;

e. Increasing or decreasing the number of directors or the

minimum or maximum number of directors;

f. Any amendment to its articles regarding constraining the

issue or transfer of shares to persons who are not resident

Canadians; and

g. Dissolution of the corporation.

10.C. Material Contracts

Not Applicable

10.D. Exchange Controls

Except as discussed in ITEM #10.E., the Company is unaware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the common shares. The Company is unaware of any limitations on the right of non-Canadian owners to hold or vote the common shares imposed by Canadian federal or provincial law or by the charter or other constituent documents of the Company.

10.E. Taxation

A brief description of provisions of the tax treaty between Canada and the United States is included below, together with a brief outline of certain taxes, including withholding provisions, to which United States security holders are subject under existing laws and regulations of Canada. The consequences, if any, of provincial, state and local taxes are not considered.

Security holders should seek the advice of their own tax advisors, tax counsel or accountants with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of the matters referred to herein and of any provincial, state or local taxes.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

The discussion under this heading relates to the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of common stock of the Company for a shareholder of the Company who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold shares of common stock of the Company as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”). This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a “permanent establishment” situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholder’s holding in the Company is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. This information is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof. This discussion is not a substitute for independent advice from a shareholder’s own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors.

The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Convention”).

Dividends on Common Shares and Other Income. Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada. The Convention limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the United States and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor-corporation.

The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would be equal to the amount by which the paid up or stated capital of the Company had increased because of the payment of such dividend. The Company will furnish additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend. Interest paid or deemed to be paid on the Company’s debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.

The Convention exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the United States and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.

Dispositions of Common Shares. Under the Canadian Tax Act, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of common stock of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his or her proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the aggregate of his or her adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition. One-half of a capital gain (the “taxable capital gain”) is included in income, and one-half of a capital loss in a year (the “allowable capital loss”) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. The amount by which a shareholder’s allowable capital loss exceeds the taxable capital gain in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to adjustment when the capital gains inclusion rate in the year of disposition differs from the inclusion rate in the year the deduction is claimed.

If a share of common stock of the Company is disposed of to the Company other than in the open market in the manner in which shares would normally be purchased by the public, the proceeds of disposition will, in general terms, be considered as limited to the paid-up capital of the share and the balance of the price paid will be deemed to be a dividend. In the case of a shareholder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss otherwise determined may be reduced by the amount of dividends previously received in respect of the shares disposed of, unless the corporation owned the shares for at least 365 days prior to sustaining the loss and (together with corporations, persons and other entities, with whom the corporation was not dealing at arm’s length) did not own more than five percent of the shares of any class of the corporation from which the dividend was received. These loss limitation rules may also apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owned the shares disposed of.

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of “taxable Canadian property.” Shares of common stock of the Company will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25 percent or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of the Company belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at arm’s length.

The Convention relieves United States residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless (a) the value of the shares is derived principally from “real property” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production, (b) the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he or she ceased to be resident in Canada, or (c) the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. Holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal; state, local and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.

U.S. Holders. As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of shares of the Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, nonresident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conduct of trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.

Distributions on Shares of the Company. U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits as defined under U.S. Federal tax law, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited against the U.S. Holder's United States Federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder's United States Federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See discussion that is more detailed at "Foreign Tax Credit" below). To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in the shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. Preferential tax rates for net capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

Dividends paid on the shares of the Company are not expected to be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations. A U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a "foreign personal holding company" or a "passive foreign investment company", as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company.

In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. Dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S.Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. Dollars, will be ordinary income or loss. However, for tax years after 1997, an individual whose realized foreign exchange gain does not exceed U.S. $200 will not recognize that gain, to the extent that there are not expenses associated with the transaction that meet the requirement for deductibility as a trade or business expense (other than travel expenses in connection with a business trip or as an expense for the production of income).

Foreign Tax Credit. A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. It will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer's income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States Federal income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as "passive income", "high withholding tax interest", "financial services income", and "shipping income". The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

In the case of certain U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), owning 10% or more of the Company's Common Shares, a portion of the qualifying Canadian income tax paid by the Company will also be available as a foreign tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at the election of the U.S. Holder.

Disposition of Shares of the Company. A U.S. Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder's tax basis in the shares of the Company. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the U.S. Holder. Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S or the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains. Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to U.S. $3,000 a year (U.S. $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately). For U.S. Holders that are individuals, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of shares of the Company:

Foreign Personal Holding Company. If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Company's outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% (50% in subsequent years) or more of the Company's gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a "foreign personal holding company". In that event, U.S. Holders that hold shares of the Company (on the earlier of the last day of the Company's tax year or the last date on which the Company was a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allowable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.

Foreign Investment Company. If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company's outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701 (a)(31)), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain.

Passive Foreign Investment Company. As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Company will be treated as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC"), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, if 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%. Passive income is defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income. Foreign mining companies that are in the exploration stage may have little or no income from operations and/or may hold substantial cash and short-term securities that pay interest and dividends while awaiting expenditure in connection with the business. Given the complexities of determining what expenditures may be deductible and of how assets held for production of active income should be valued, the Company, based on advice from its professional advisers, cannot conclude whether it is a PFIC.

It is not the intention of the Company to be considered a PFIC and the Company does not consider this to be a material risk. In the event that it were to become classified as a PFIC, the following should be taken into consideration. U.S. Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to a special tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of U.S. tax attributable to undistributed earnings of a PFIC for the period during which the shares of the PFIC are owned. This special tax would apply to any gain realized on the disposition of shares of a PFIC. In addition, the gain is subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income, taxed at top marginal rates, rather than as capital gain income. The special tax would also be payable on receipt of excess distributions (any distributions received in the current year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the 3 preceding years or, if shorter, the shareholder's holding period). If, however, the U.S. Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund ("QEF") with respect to such shareholder's interest and the Company provides an annual information statement, the above-described rules will not apply. The Company will provide such an information statement upon request from a U.S. Holder for current and prior taxable years. Instead, the electing U.S. Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC's ordinary earnings and any net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC treated as a QEF can, however, further elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income and gain inclusions, with tax payments ultimately requiring payment of an interest factor. In addition, with a timely QEF election, the electing U.S. Holder will obtain capital gain treatment on the gain realized on disposition of such U.S. Holder’s interest in the PFIC. Special rules apply to U.S. Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or persons.

Effective for tax years of U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable years for which the mark-to-market election is made. A U.S. Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder's adjusted basis in such shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the shares in the Company included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a U.S. Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company is a PFIC (“Non-Electing U.S. Holder”), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election. A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

The IRS has issued proposed regulations that would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder that are not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. In such cases, the basis of the Company's shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. A U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed herein) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. The transferee's basis in this case will depend on the manner of the transfer. The specific tax effect to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the shares of the Company are transferred. Each U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.

The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex. U.S. Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation. If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company ("United States shareholder"), the Company could be treated as a "controlled foreign corporation" under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata share of "Subpart F income" (as specially defined by the Code) of the Company. Subpart F requires current inclusions in the income of United States shareholders to the extent of a controlled foreign corporation's accumulated earnings invested in "excess passive" assets (as defined by the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, a gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the U.S. Holders of shares of the Company, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.

If the Company is both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, the company will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation. This rule will be effective for taxable years of the Company ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders.

Summary

Management believes this discussion covers all material tax consequences. Nevertheless, this is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of common shares of the Company Holders and prospective holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances.

Item 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates one segment of its business in China, and a substantial portion of our operating expenses are in Canadian dollars, whereas our revenue from co-publishing agreements are primarily in Renminbi which is first converted to US dollars then to Canadian dollars. A significant adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollars relative to US dollars or Renminbi to US dollars could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies, as they are not material at this time.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

15.A. Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report ("Date of Evaluation"), an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Accounting Policies Including Initial Adoption

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company has adopted the following Sections issued or amended by the CICA:

Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets

EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Section 3862 to provide improvements to fair value and liquidity risk disclosures

Adoption of these new accounting standards has no material impact on the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements as most of them relate primarily to disclosure.

Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

The Canadian Accounting Standards Board has confirmed January 1, 2011 as the changeover date for Canadian publicly accountable enterprises to start using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP, but there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and disclosures.

As a result, the Corporation has developed a plan to convert its consolidated financial statements to IFRS. Updates regarding the progress of the conversion plan are provided to the Corporation’s Audit Committee on a timely basis. The plan addresses the impact of IFRS on accounting policies and implementation decisions, infrastructure, business activities and control activities. A summary status of the key elements of the changeover plan includes identification of differences in Canadian GAAP and IFRS accounting policies; selection of the Corporation’s ongoing IFRS policies; development of financial statement format and quantification of effects of change in initial IFRS disclosures and 2010 financial statements.

Policies and Procedures

The Company did not maintain a complete set of policies and procedures governing decision and authorization processes. As such, reliance was placed on management’s substantive review of period end balances, transactions recorded in each period, scrutiny of business activity and centralized cash management to detect errors and ensure the financial statements do not contain material misstatements. The Company assigned dedicated staff to formulate a plan, using a generally recognized framework, to document key processes and controls, and initiated the creation of a comprehensive set of policies and procedures. The completion of documentation and implementation of the initiative will continue in 2010.

Segregation of Duties

Due to resource constraints, the Company is reliant on the performance of compensating procedures during its financial period-end closing process in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly and accurately, in all material respects. Additional compensating control procedures have been performed in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure their reliability.

These Compensating Controls Include:

Review of all balances and reconciliations;

Review of bank registers and disbursement details in risk locations; and

Analytical review and analysis of performance against expectations.

During 2009, the Company enhanced internal controls over financial reporting by introducing the following additional changes:

Improved budgetary controls; and

Strengthened technical expertise in the accounting and finance areas of the organization

15.B. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or the occurrence of events or other factors that could significantly affect these controls, subsequent to the Date of Evaluation.

Management’s Responsibility

To the Shareholders of

Lingo Media Corporation

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and ensuring that all information in the Management Discussion & Analysis is consistent with the statements. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee include some Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management and external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Company’s external auditors.

Collins Barrow Toronto LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Accountants, is appointed by the Audit Committee of the Board to audit the consolidated financial statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to, and meet periodically and separately with, both the Audit Committee and management to discuss their audit findings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Lingo Media Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lingo Media Corporation and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lingo Media Corporation and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Company has negative working capital at year end which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Lingo Media Corporation (“Lingo Media” or the “Company”) is a diversified online and print-based education product and services company focused on English language learning ("ELL") on an international scale through its business units. ELL Technologies Limited ("ELL Technologies") is a globally-established ELL multi-media and online training company marketing under the Q Group brand. Parlo Corporation ("Parlo"), is a fee-based online ELL training and assessment service. Speak2Me Inc. (“Speak2Me”), is a free-to-customer advertising-based online ELL service in China. Lingo Learning Inc. ("Lingo Learning") (formerly Lingo Media Ltd.) is a print-based publisher of ELL programs in China. Lingo Media through its subsidiary A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. (“A+”), until filing for a proposal to creditors (Note 10), specialized in distributing early childhood cognitive development programs.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries; Lingo Learning Inc. (100%), Speak2Me Inc. (100%), Parlo Corporation (100%), ELL Technologies Limited (100%), Lingo Media International Inc. (100%), Lingo Group Limited (83%), and A+ Child Development (Canada) Ltd. (70.33%). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities under normal course of business in the foreseeable future. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities and reported revenues and expenses that may be necessary should the Company’s financial condition continues to deteriorate and is unable to mitigate it.

The Company has incurred significant losses over the years and has negative working capital as at December 31, 2010. This raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional financing through share issuance, borrowing, sales agreements and distribution agreements. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals. Subsequent to the year end (Note 23), the Company raised gross proceeds of $2,195,200 by way of a private placement.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from online advertising and sponsorships in China is recognized at the time of delivery and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Royalty revenue from licensing sales in China is recognized based on confirmation of finished products produced by its licensees and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenue from audiovisual products is recognized based on the confirmation of sales by its licensees, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Royalty revenues are not subject to right of return or product warranties. Revenue from the sale of published and supplemental products is recognized upon delivery and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from fee-based English language training and assessment services and licenses are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the agreement and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from the sale of educational products in Canada is recognized at the time of delivery and when the risk of ownership is transferred and collectability is reasonably assured.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income measures net earnings for the period plus other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of changes in equity from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale financial assets, changes to unrealized gains and losses on the effective portion of cash flow hedges and changes to foreign currency translation adjustments of self sustaining foreign operations during the period. Amounts reported as other comprehensive income are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. To date there has not been any other comprehensive income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Amortization is provided using methods outlined below at rates intended to amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives.

	Method	Rate
Computer and office equipment	declining balance	20 %

The Company’s policy is to record an impairment loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Investment and Advances

Loans made with a view to establishing a joint venture are recorded as investment and advances. The carrying value of these deferred costs and advances are assessed on a periodic basis to determine if a write-down is required. Any required write-down is charged to operations in the year such write-down is determined to be necessary.

Publishing Development Costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to English language learning products and programs in accordance with Section 3064, ("Goodwill and Intangible Assets") of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook. The carrying value is assessed on a periodic basis to determine if a write-down is required. Any required write-down is charged to operations in the year such write-down is determined to be necessary. Amortization of the capitalized costs begins when the programs are starting to be sold and they are amortized on a straight line basis over five years.

Software and Web Development Costs

The company capitalizes all costs related to the development of its free-to-consumer and fee-based English language learning services in accordance with Section 3064, (“Goodwill and Intangible Assets”) of the CICA Handbook. The Company reviews the carrying values of its software and web development costs and evaluates the carrying value of these assets based on the undiscounted value of expected future cash flows when indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value exceeds the amount recoverable, a write-down of the asset to its estimated fair value would be charged to operations in the year such a write-down is determined to be necessary. Amortization of the capitalized costs begins when the products are starting to be sold and are amortized on a straight line basis over two to five years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of an acquired business.

The carrying value of goodwill is assessed annually for possible impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicated that it might be impaired. This assessment is based on the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill relates. Impairment would be recognized when the estimated fair value of the goodwill is lower than the carrying value. The Company performed its annual impairment test and concluded that the carrying value of goodwill is not impaired.

Government Grants

The Company receives government grants based on certain eligibility criteria for book publishing industry development in Canada. These government grants are recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses to offset direct costs funded by the grant. The Company records a liability for the repayment of the grants and a charge to operations in the period in which conditions arise that will cause the government grants to be repayable.

Future Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for income tax purposes. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are recorded in the financial statements if realization is considered more likely than not.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at historical exchange rates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the approximate rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions, except for amortization which is translated at the exchange rate used in the translation of the assets. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in earnings for the year.

The Company's integrated foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet dates for monetary items and at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates for non-monetary items. Revenue and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing during the year, except for amortization which is translated at the exchange rate used in the translation of the assets. Exchange gains and losses are included in earnings for the year.

Use of Estimates

Accounts receivable are stated after evaluation of its collectability and an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where considered necessary. Amortization is based on the estimated useful lives of property and equipment.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares that are outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

The Company applies the fair value based method of accounting to all stock-based compensation. The fair value of the options issued in the year is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options is expensed to income over the vesting period.

Financial Instruments

All financial instruments are recorded initially at fair value. In subsequent periods, all financial instruments are measured based on the classification adopted for the financial instrument: held for trading, held to maturity, loans and receivables, available for sale or other liability.

Financial Assets

Held for trading assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in net income during the period.

Held to maturity assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Available for sale assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income, except for equity instruments without a quoted market price which are measured at cost.

Financial Liabilities

Held for trading liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in net income during the period.

Other liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Financial Instrument	Classification
Cash	Held for trading
Accounts and grants receivable	Loans and receivables
Accounts payable	Other liabilities
Accrued liabilities	Other liabilities
Loans payable	Other liabilities

The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet consist of cash. Cash is measured at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly of indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amounts of a group of assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that group of assets. If the carrying amount is not recoverable, the Company would recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of a group of assets exceeds their fair value.

3.	CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In January 2009, the CICA has recently issued CICA Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations, Section 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, and Section 1602, Non Controlling Interests. These new sections replace the currently existing standards in CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations, and Section 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements.

Section 1582 amends the standards for measurement, presentation and disclosure of a business combination. A number of changes are specified, including an expanded definition of a business, a requirement to measure all business acquisitions at fair value, a requirement to measure non controlling interests at fair value, and a requirement to recognize acquisition related costs as expenses.

3.	CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

These standards will require a change in the measurement and presentation of non controlling interest. As a result of these changes, net earnings will include 100% of the subsidiary’s results and non controlling interest will be presented as part of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet.

The impact of adoption of this standard is described in Note 9.

Future Accounting Changes

(d) Stock Option Plan

In September 2010, the Company amended its stock option plan (the “2010 Plan“). The 2010 Plan was established to provide an incentive to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan is limited to 2,703,171 common shares less the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2000 Plan, the 2005 Plan and 2009 Plan, provided that the Board of Directors of the Company has the right, from time to time, to increase such number subject to the approval of the relevant exchange on which the shares are listed and the approval of the shareholders of the Company. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved for issuance to any one person under the 2010 Plan is 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant (calculated on a non-diluted basis) less the number of shares reserved for issuance to such person under any option to purchase common shares of the Company granted as a compensation or incentive mechanism. The exercise price of each option can not be less than the market price of the shares on the day immediately proceeding the day of the grant less any permitted discount. The exercise period of the options granted can not exceed 10 years. Options granted under the 2010 Plan do not have any required vesting provisions. The Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, amend or revise the terms of the 2010 Plan or may terminate it at any time.

Changes for the stock option plans during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	2010					2009
				Weighted					Weighted
	Number			Average		Number			Average
	of			Exercise		of			Exercise

(e) Fair Value of Options

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted to employees, consultants and directors during 2010 has been estimated at $0.03 (2009 - $0.71) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated fair value of the options granted is expensed over the options vesting periods. The pricing model assumes the weighted average risk free interest rates of 1.08% (2009 – 1.65%) weighted average expected dividend yields of NIL (2009 – NIL), the weighted average expected common stock price volatility of 94% (2009 – 147%) and a weighted average expected life of 1 year (2009 – 4 years), which were estimated based on past experience with options and option contract specifics.

12.	INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes reflects an effective income tax rate, which differs from the Canadian corporate income tax rate as follows:

	2010			2009			2008
Combined basic Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate		31.00	%		33.00	%		33.50	%
Effective income tax recovery on loss from

Withholding tax on sales to China		168,080			179,751			145,018
Non-deductible items		25,133			128,165			298,161
Expiration of non-capital losses		224,420			93,120			-
Change in enacted rates		-			367,791			57,438

Share issue cost		-			-			(184,250	)
	$	(396,917	)	$	179,751		$	145,018

The tax effect of temporary differences representing future tax assets is as follows:

	2010			2009
Future tax assets:
Operating loss carry forwards	$	2,688,000		$	2,193,075
Share issue costs		67,000			101,681
		2,755,000			2,294,756
Valuation allowance		(1,657,000	)		(1,672,220	)
Future tax assets recognized		1,098,000			622,536
Software and web development costs		(1,103,000	)		(1,195,456	)
Property and equipment		5,000			7,923
Net future tax assets (liabilities)	$	-		$	(564,997	)

Future tax assets and liabilities will be impacted by changes in future tax laws and rates. The effects of these changes are not currently determinable. In assessing whether the future tax assets are realizable, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income, uncertainties related to the industry in which the Company operates and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has not recognized any benefit for these losses.

The carrying values of cash, accounts and grants receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loans payable approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity.

(d)

Concentration of risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash consists of deposits with major financial institutions. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Management assesses the need for allowances for potential credit losses by considering the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Accounts receivable are in good standing at December 31, 2010. Included in accounts receivable are amounts of approximately $244,000 (2009 - $42,000) that are past due.

(e)

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.

18.	ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE

The Company has sales to a major customer in 2010, 2009 and 2008, a government agency of the People’s Republic of China.

(a)

Publishing development costs:

(b)

The portion of investment and advances relating to a joint venture recorded under Canadian GAAP as deferred costs and written down during 2008 is added back for United States GAAP as it is already expensed in prior years as incurred.

(c)

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company capitalized the cost of the Speak2Me acquisition and will begin amortization upon the selling of the products on a straight-ling basis over three years. Under United States GAAP, acquisition costs of the Speak2Me technology are considered acquired in-process research and development. Since as of the acquisition date, the technology acquired requires a substantial amount of development work in order to begin selling as a product hence this cost is expensed in 2007. The Company failed to expense the acquisition costs for US GAAP purposes in its 2007 financial statement reconciliation of Canadian to US GAAP disclosure and has now restated the reconciliation to reflect the expense. Furthermore, the Company continues to expense any development costs incurred during 2007, 2008 and 2009 for United States GAAP purposes.

(d)

Starting January 1, 2002 under United States and Canadian GAAP, the Company records compensation expense based on the fair value for stock or stock options granted in exchange for services from consultants. Before January 1, 2002, for the options issued and completely vested the Company did not recognize a compensation expense under Canadian GAAP but recorded a compensation expense under US GAAP for the options issued to consultants. In respect to options issued before January 1, 2002 but vesting in year 2002, the Company records expense under US GAAP but recognized no expenses under Canadian GAAP.

(e)

US GAAP clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statement. 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. US GAAP also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of tax positions under US GAAP 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, the Company would recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has not adopted US GAAP for Canadian GAAP purposes. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of US GAAP would not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements for purposes of reconciling Canadian GAAP to United States GAAP.

(f)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

(i)

In June 2009, the FASB launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the Codification, as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB. The Codification reorganizes various U.S. GAAP pronouncements into accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

(ii)

The new disclosure requirements regarding inputs and valuation techniques for Level 2 fair value measurements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and are consistent with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The Company uses Level 1 inputs (Quoted prices in active market) for determination of fair value of available-for-sale securities. The Company uses Level 2 inputs (significant observable inputs) to estimate the fair value of incentive stock options when determining compensation expense to be recognized. It is not anticipated that there will be a change in the nature of inputs or in the valuation techniques applied so there will be no material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company is assessing the required disclosure to prepare for implementation for the first interim period of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Cont'd)

(iii)

In April 2008, US GAAP released an amendment to the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the new standard starting on January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(iv)

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new statement. This statement affects only entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This statement provides guidance on the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interest in a subsidiary to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information provided by consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(g)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(i)

In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, the new standard modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, early adoption of this standard is permitted. We have determined that there will be no impact on our consolidated financial statements for existing customer arrangements upon adoption of the new accounting standard.

(ii)

In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard for the accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The new standard amends the scope of pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, early adoption of this standard is permitted. We have determined that there will be no impact on our consolidated financial statements for existing customer arrangements upon adoption of the new accounting standard.
