FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (“the Company” or “Lions Gate” or “we”) is an integrated entertainment company engaged in the development, production and distribution of feature films, television series, television movies and mini-series, non-fiction programming and animated programming. As an independent distribution company, the Company also acquires distribution rights from a wide variety of studios, production companies and independent producers. On December 15, 2003, the Company acquired Film Holdings Co., the parent company of Artisan Entertainment Inc. (“Artisan”) and on October 17, 2005, the Company acquired the Redbus companies as described in note 8.

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lions Gate and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities, with a provision for minority interests.

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) which conforms, in all material respects, with the accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”), except as described in note 15.

      The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. or Canadian GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2006. The balance sheet at March 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005.

      Certain amounts presented for fiscal 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2006 presentation.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to ultimate revenue and costs for investment in films and television programs; estimates of sales returns, provision for doubtful accounts, fair value of assets and liabilities for allocation of the purchase price of companies acquired, income taxes and accruals for contingent liabilities; and impairment assessments for investment in films and television programs, property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

      Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income (see note 10). The cost of investments sold is determined in accordance with the specific identification method and

realized gains and losses are included in interest income. As of December 31, 2005, the cost, unrealized losses and carrying value of the Company’s available-for-sale investments were as follows:

      During the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company began investing in auction rate preferred stock and auction rate notes (collectively, the “auction rate preferreds”). Auction rate preferred stock is preferred stock with a dividend rate determined periodically, typically less than every 90 days, based on an auction mechanism. Auction rate notes are debt instruments. The interest rate for the auction rate notes will adjust to current market rates at each interest reset date, typically every seven, 28 or 35 days. The interest rates are impacted by various factors, including credit risk, tax risk, general market interest rate risk and other factors. Auction rate preferreds do not meet the definition of a cash equivalent since they do not have scheduled maturities of less than 90 days from investment. All of the Company’s $65.9 million investment in auction rate preferreds as of December 31, 2005 are invested in securities rated as “AAA”. Proceeds from sales of auction rate preferreds during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 were $82.5 million.

      All of the Company’s $15.0 million investment in municipal obligations as of December 31, 2005 are invested in securities rated at “AAA”. As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s investment in municipal obligations were comprised of taxable revenue bonds with a maturity date of May 15, 2034.

      Equity securities are comprised of the Company’s investment in the common shares of Image Entertainment, Inc. (“Image”), a distributor of DVDs and entertainment programming. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company purchased 1,150,000 common shares of Image for $3.5 million in cash, representing an average cost per share of $3.02. Also during the three months ended September 30, 2005 the Company completed a negotiated exchange with certain shareholders of Image in which the Company exchanged 885,258 of its common shares (at $10.45 per share) in return for 2,312,567 common shares of Image (at $4.00 per share). The cost on an exchanged basis of the additional 2,312,567 common shares of Image is $9.2 million. As at December 31, 2005, the Company held 3,462,567 common shares of Image acquired at an average cost per share of $3.67. The closing price of Image’s common shares on December 31, 2005 was $3.23 per common share. As a result, the Company had an unrealized loss of $1.5 million on its investment in Image common shares as of December 31, 2005. The Company has reported the $1.5 million unrealized loss as other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity as of December 31, 2005. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company entered into exchange agreements with certain holders of Image common shares in which the Company agreed to exchange 218,746 of its common shares (at $10.45 per share) in return for 571,429 common shares of Image (at $4.00 per share) held by those holders. The exchange agreements are subject to certain conditions precedent to the Company and the holders of the Image common shares to be exchanged. At December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded an unrealized loss of $0.4 million

LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

on the 571,429 shares to be exchanged based on the difference between the negotiated price per common share of $4.00 and the closing price of Image’s common shares on December 31, 2005 of $3.23 per common share. The Company has reported the $0.4 million unrealized loss as a charge to other comprehensive loss and as an increase in shareholders’ equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity as of December 31, 2005. The exchange agreements will terminate if the closing of the agreement does not occur on or prior to March 31, 2006.

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123 and eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic method of accounting under APB No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires all public companies accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments, to account for these types of transactions using a fair-value-based method. The Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method as set forth in APB No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” As such, the Company generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method of accounting. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income (loss) and basic and diluted income (loss) per share in note 12. SFAS No. 123(R) permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a modified prospective method or a modified retrospective method. The Company has not yet determined which method it will utilize. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)’s fair value method will have an impact on our results of operations, although it will have no material impact on our overall financial position. The provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) are effective for financial statements with the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. However, the SEC announced on April 14, 2005 that it would provide for a phased-in implementation process for SFAS No. 123(R). As a result, the Company will not be required to apply SFAS No. 123(R) until the period beginning April 1, 2006.

      Acquired libraries of $108.8 million at December 31, 2005 (March 31, 2005 — $109.8 million) include the Trimark library acquired October 2000, the Artisan library acquired December 2003 (refer to note 8), the Modern Entertainment, Ltd. (“Modern”) library acquired in August 2005 and the Redbus library acquired in October 2005 (refer to note 8). On August 17, 2005, the Company acquired certain of the film assets and accounts receivable of Modern, a licensor of film rights to DVD distributors, broadcasters and cable networks. Under the terms of the Modern purchase agreement, total consideration issued was $7.5 million, comprised of $3.5 million in cash and 399,042 shares of the Company’s common shares valued at $4.0 million. In addition, the Company recorded $0.2 million in direct transaction costs comprised primarily of legal costs incurred in connection with the purchased assets resulting in a total purchase price of $7.7 million for the Modern library. The allocation of the Modern purchase price to the assets acquired was $5.6 million to investment in films and television programs and $2.1 million to accounts receivable. The Trimark library is amortized over its expected revenue stream for a period of 20 years from the acquisition date. The remaining amortization period on the Trimark library at December 31, 2005 is 14.75 years on unamortized costs of $20.2 million. The Artisan library includes titles released at least three years prior to the date of acquisition and is amortized over its expected revenue stream for a period of up to 20 years from the date of acquisition. The remaining amortization period on the Artisan library at December 31, 2005 is 18.0 years on unamortized costs of $80.8 million. The Modern library is amortized over its expected revenue stream for a period of up to 20 years from the acquisition date. The remaining amortization period on the Modern library at December 31, 2005 is 19.5 years on unamortized costs of $5.5 million. The Redbus library includes titles released at least three years prior to the date of acquisition and is amortized over its expected revenue stream for a period of up to 20 years from the date of acquisition. The remaining amortization period on the Redbus library at December 31, 2005 is 19.75 years on unamortized costs of $2.3 million.

      The Company expects approximately 47% of completed films and television programs, net of accumulated amortization, will be amortized during the one-year period ending December 31, 2006. Additionally, the Company expects approximately 81% of completed and released films and television programs, net of

accumulated amortization and excluding acquired libraries, will be amortized during the three-year period ending December 31, 2008.

      Deferred Financing Costs. Deferred financing costs primarily include costs incurred in connection with the credit facility (see note 5) and the issuance of the 4.875% Notes, the 2.9375% Notes and the 3.625% Notes (see note 7) that are deferred and amortized to interest expense.

      Intangible Assets. Intangible assets acquired in connection with the purchase of Artisan of $5.1 million represent distribution and personal service agreements and are amortized over a period of two to four years from the date of acquisition. In June 2005, the Company acquired all of the publishing assets of a music publishing company, for a total purchase price of $1.2 million in cash. The publishing rights are amortized over a three-year period from the date of acquisition. Amortization expense of $0.5 million and $1.7 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — $0.5 million and $1.6 million). Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding years is $0.9 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

      On April 8, 2005, Lions Gate entered into library and output agreements with Maple Pictures Corp. (“Maple Pictures”), a Canadian corporation, for the distribution of Lions Gate’s motion picture, television and home video product in Canada. As part of this transaction, Maple Pictures purchased a majority of the Company’s interest in Christal Distribution, a number of production entities and other Lions Gate distribution assets in Canada. Maple Pictures was formed by two former Lions Gate executives and a third-party equity investor. Lions Gate also acquired a minority interest in Maple Pictures.

      As a result of these transactions with Maple Pictures, Lions Gate recorded an investment in Maple Pictures of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2005 in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company is accounting for the investment in Maple Pictures using the equity method. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005, a loss of $0.1 million is recorded in equity interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and the investment in Maple Pictures is $1.9 million as of December 31, 2005.

      The Company entered into a $350 million credit facility in December 2003 consisting of a $200 million U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, a $15 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and a $135 million U.S. dollar-denominated term-loan. By December 31, 2004, the Company had repaid the term loan in full, thereby reducing the credit facility to $215 million at March 31, 2005. Effective

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

March 31, 2005, the credit facility was amended to eliminate the $15 million Canadian dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and increase the U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility by the same amount. At December 31, 2005, the Company had no borrowings (March 31, 2005 — nil) under the credit facility. The credit facility expires December 31, 2008 and bears interest at 2.75% over the Adjusted LIBOR or 1.75% over the U.S. prime rate. The availability of funds under the credit facility is limited by the borrowing base, which is calculated on a monthly basis. Amounts available under the credit facility are also limited by outstanding letters of credit which amount to $7.2 million at December 31, 2005. The borrowing base assets at December 31, 2005 totaled $411.3 million (March 31, 2005 — $405.1 million) and therefore $207.8 million is available under the credit facility at December 31, 2005. The Company is required to pay a monthly commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the total credit facility of $215 million less the amount drawn. Right, title and interest in and to all personal property of the Company and Lions Gate Entertainment Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is being pledged as security for the credit facility. The credit facility is senior to the Company’s film obligations, subordinated notes and mortgages payable. The credit facility restricts the Company from paying cash dividends on its common shares. The Company entered into a $100 million interest rate swap at an interest rate of 3.08%, commencing January 2003 and ended September 2005. The swap was in effect as long as three month LIBOR was less than 5.0%. Fair market value of the interest rate swap at the maturity date of September 30, 2005 was nil (March 31, 2005 — negative $0.1 million). Changes in the fair value representing fair valuation losses on the interest rate swap during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 amount to nil and $0.1 million, respectively (2004 — gains of $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively) and are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. On October 17, 2005, the Company amended the credit facility in connection with its acquisition of Redbus Film Distribution Limited and Redbus Pictures Limited (collectively, “Redbus”) to provide for $10 million of the credit facility available for borrowing by the new Redbus subsidiaries in either U.S. dollars or British pounds sterling.

      The Company expects approximately 62% of accrued participants’ shares will be paid during the one-year period ending December 31, 2006.

      3.625% Notes. In February 2005, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. sold $150.0 million of 3.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. In connection with this sale, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. granted the initial purchasers of the 3.625% Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $25.0 million of the 3.625% Notes for 13 days. The fair value of this option was not significant. The initial purchasers exercised this option in February 2005 and purchased an additional $25 million of the 3.625% Notes. The Company received $170.2 million of net proceeds after paying placement agents’ fees from the sale of $175.0 million of

Under certain circumstances, if the holders require Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon a change in control, they will be entitled to receive a make whole premium.

Upon conversion of the 3.625% Notes, the Company has the option to deliver, in lieu of common shares, cash or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company. The holder may convert the 3.625% Notes into common shares of the Company prior to maturity if the notes have been called for redemption, a change in control occurs or certain corporate transactions occur. In addition, under certain circumstances, if the holder converts their notes upon a change in control they will be entitled to receive a make whole premium.

Under certain circumstances, if the holders require Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon a change in control, they will be entitled to receive a make whole premium. The amount of the make whole premium, if any, will be based on the price of the common shares of the Company on the effective date of the change in control. No make whole premium will be paid if the price of the common shares of the Company is less than $8.79 per share or if the price of the common shares of the Company exceeds $50.00 per share.

Before the close of business on or prior to the trading day immediately before the maturity date if the notes have not been previously redeemed or repurchased, the holder may convert the notes into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of 86.9565 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.9375% Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $11.50 per share.

      4.875% Notes. In December 2003, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. sold $60.0 million of 4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company received $57.0 million of net proceeds after paying placement agents’ fees from the sale of $60.0 million of the 4.875% Notes. The Company also paid $0.7 million of offering expenses incurred in connection with the 4.875% Notes. Interest on the 4.875% Notes is due semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 commencing on June 15, 2004 and the 4.875% Notes mature on December 15, 2010. Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. may redeem all or a portion of the 4.875% Notes at its option on or after December 15, 2006 at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption; provided, however, that the 4.875% Notes will only be redeemable if the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds 175% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the day before the date of the notice of optional redemption.

      The 4.875% Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time before the close of business on or prior to the trading day immediately before the maturity date if the notes have not been previously redeemed or repurchased at a conversion rate of 185.0944 shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of the 4.875% Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $5.40 per share. Upon conversion of the 4.875% Notes, the Company has the option to deliver, in lieu of common shares, cash or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company. The holder may convert the 4.875% Notes into common shares of the Company prior to maturity if the notes have been called for redemption, a change in control occurs or certain corporate transactions occur.

      Promissory Note. On December 15, 2003, the Company assumed, as part of the purchase of Artisan, a $5.0 million subordinated promissory note to Vialta, Inc (“Promissory Note”) issued by Artisan which bore interest at 7.5% per annum compounded quarterly. The Promissory Note matured and was paid during April 2005.

      On October 17, 2005, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Redbus, an independent United Kingdom film distributor.

In addition, the Company assumed other obligations (including accounts payable and accrued liabilities and film obligations) of $24.1 million. At the closing of the transaction the Company issued 643,460 common shares to Redbus Group Limited (“RGL”) valued at approximately $6.1 million, or $9.48 per share, and will issue up to an additional 94,937 common shares to RGL upon satisfaction of the terms of the escrow agreement. At December 31, 2005, the additional 94,937 common shares are valued at approximately $0.9 million. Direct transaction costs are considered liabilities assumed in the acquisition, and as such, are included in the purchase price. Direct transaction costs consist primarily of legal and accounting fees. The Company now has the ability to self-distribute its motion pictures in the UK. The Company also acquired the Redbus library of approximately 130 films. Effective October 17, 2005, the credit facility was amended in connection with the acquisition of Redbus, which made a portion of the credit facility available for borrowing by Redbus in either U.S. dollars or British pounds sterling.

      The Redbus acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the results of operations of Redbus consolidated from October 17, 2005. Goodwill of $25.4 million represents the excess of the purchase price over

the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values is preliminary and subject to completion of final appraisals as follows:

      On December 15, 2003, the Company completed its acquisition of Film Holdings Co., the parent company of Artisan, an independent distributor and producer of film and entertainment content, for a total purchase price of $168.9 million consisting of $160.0 million in cash and direct transaction costs of $8.9 million. In addition, the Company assumed debt of $59.9 million and other obligations (including accounts payable and accrued liabilities, film obligations and other advances) of $144.0 million.

      Severance and relocation costs incurred by Lions Gate, associated with the acquisition of Artisan, are not included in the purchase price and, as such, were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2004. Severance and relocation costs of $5.6 million included property lease abandonment costs of $2.5 million, the write-off of capital assets no longer in use of $2.1 million and severance of $1.0 million. At December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, the remaining liabilities under the severance plan are nil. At December 31, 2005, the remaining liabilities for the property lease abandonment are $1.4 million (March 31, 2005 — $1.7 million) and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

      Other expenses include direct operating expenses related to the studio facility and provision for doubtful accounts. The negative other expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 is due to a reversal of the provision for doubtful accounts of $4.6 million. The reversal is primarily due to collection of accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 that were previously provided for.

      The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic income (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the impact of the convertible senior subordinated notes, share purchase warrants, stock options and restricted share units, if dilutive.

      Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 of 103,936,000 shares and 102,724,000 shares, respectively (2004 — 98,119,000 and 96,437,000 shares, respectively). The exercise of common share equivalents including stock options, share purchase warrants, the conversion features of the 4.875% Notes, the 2.9375% Notes, the 3.625% Notes and restricted share units could potentially dilute income (loss) per share in the future, but was not reflected in diluted loss per share during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per common share were the

same for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Diluted income per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2004 are presented below:

      The dilutive effect, if any, of the share purchase options, the share purchase warrants and the restricted share units are included in diluted income per share under the treasury method. The shares issuable on the potential conversion of the 4.875% Notes, the 2.9375% Notes and the 3.625% Notes are not included in diluted income per share as they are anti-dilutive.

      During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company amended the outstanding warrants to allow the holders, at their option, to exercise by cashless exercise. Each warrant may be exchanged for common shares in the Company determined by taking the difference in the market price of the Company’s shares (defined as the average closing trading price per common share for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the third day before the exercise date) less the exercise price of $5.00 and dividing this number by the market price. During December 2004, 1,993,250 warrants were exercised by cashless exercise resulting in the issuance of 1,052,517 common shares. As of December 31, 2004, 1,088,000 warrants remained outstanding. The warrants expired January 1, 2005.

      Fair Value of Stock Options. The Company elected to use the intrinsic value method in accounting for stock based compensation set forth in APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” In accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of SFAS No. 123” the following disclosures are provided about the costs of stock-based compensation awards using the fair value method for companies that elect to use the intrinsic value method. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements for a discussion of SFAS 123(R).

      The weighted average estimated fair value of each stock option granted in the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was $3.61 (2004 — $3.31). The total stock-based compensation expense for disclosure purposes for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2005, based on the fair value of the stock options granted, was $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively (2004 — $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively)

and the fair value of stock option modifications for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 was nil and less than and $0.1 million, respectively (2004 — nil and $0.2 million, respectively).

      For disclosure purposes the fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for stock options granted: a dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 33% (2004 — 30%), risk-free interest rate of 4.0% (2004 — 3.8%) and expected life of five years (2004 — five years).

      The following pro forma basic and diluted income (loss) per common share includes stock-based compensation expense for stock options issued and modified, as described above:

      Stock Appreciation Rights. On November 13, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved that 750,000 options, granted to certain officers of the Company to purchase common shares of the Company, be revised as stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) which entitle the holders to receive cash only and not common shares. The amount of cash received will be equal to the amount by which the trading price of common shares on the exercise notice date exceeds the SARs’ price of $5.00 multiplied by the number of options exercised. Any twenty-day average trading price of common shares prior to the exercise notice date has to be $6.00 or above in order for the officers to exercise their SARs. These SARs are not considered part of the Employees’ and Directors’ Equity Incentive Plan. The Company measures compensation expense as the amount by which the market value of common shares exceeds the SARs’ price. At December 31, 2005, the market price of common shares was $7.68 (March 31, 2005 — $11.05; December 31, 2004 — $10.62) and the SARs had all vested. Due to the reduction in the market price of its common shares, the Company recorded a

reduction in stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $1.4 million and $2.5 million in general and administration expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (December 31, 2004 — expense of $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively). The amount in the period is calculated by using the market price of common shares on December 31, 2005 less the SARs’ price, multiplied by the 750,000 SARs vested less the amount previously recorded. At December 31, 2005, the Company has a stock-based compensation accrual in the amount of $2.0 million (March 31, 2005 — $4.5 million) included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets relating to these SARs.

      On February 2, 2004, an officer of the Company was granted 1,000,000 SARs, which entitle the officer to receive cash only, and not common shares. The amount of cash received will be equal to the amount by which the trading price of common shares on the exercise notice date exceeds the SARs’ price of $5.20 multiplied by the number of SARs exercised. The SARs vest one quarter immediately on the award date and one quarter on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the award date. These SARs are not considered part of the Employees’ and Directors’ Equity Incentive Plan. Applying FIN 28 “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans”, the Company is accruing compensation expense over the service period, which is assumed to be the three year vesting period, using a graded approach and measures compensation cost as the amount by which the market value of common shares exceeds the SARs’ price times the SARs assumed to have vested under the graded approach. At December 31, 2005, the market price of common shares was $7.68 (March 31, 2005 — $11.05; December 31, 2004 — $10.62). Due to the reduction in the market price of its common shares, the Company recorded a reduction in stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $1.2 million and $1.6 million in general and administration expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — expense of $1.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively). During the year ended March 31, 2005 the officer exercised 150,000 of the vested SARs and the Company paid $0.9 million. The amount in the period is calculated by using the market price of common shares on December 31, 2005 less the SARs’ price, multiplied by the remaining 897,929 SARs assumed to have vested less the 150,000 SARs exercised less the amount previously recorded. At December 31, 2005, the Company has a stock-based compensation accrual in the amount of $1.9 million (March 31, 2005 — $3.5 million) included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets relating to these SARs.

      Restricted Share Units. Effective June 27, 2005 the Company, pursuant to its 2004 Performance Incentive Plan, entered into restricted share unit agreements with certain employees and directors. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005, the Company awarded 158,125 and 518,000, respectively, restricted common share units under these agreements. Upon issuance of the restricted common share units, an unamortized compensation expense equivalent to the market value of the common shares on the date of grant was charged to shareholders’ equity as unearned compensation. This unearned compensation will be amortized over the three-year vesting period. Compensation expense recorded for these restricted common share units was $0.4 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and is included in general and administration expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

      The Company becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted share units when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Restricted shares are forfeited if the employees or directors terminate prior to the lapsing of restrictions. The Company records forfeitures of restricted share units, if any, as treasury share repurchases and any compensation costs previously recorded are reversed in the period of forfeiture.

      Under U.S. GAAP, the interest swaps do not meet the criteria of effective hedges and therefore the fair valuation losses of nil and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — gains of $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively) on the Company’s interest rate swap and fair valuation gains of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — loss of $0.1 million and gain of $0.2 million, respectively) on a subsidiary company’s interest swap are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

      Under Canadian GAAP, until April 1, 2004, the interest rate swaps were determined to be effective hedges under Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Section 3860, “Financial Instruments — Disclosure and Presentation”, and no fair valuation adjustments were recorded. In December 2001, the CICA released Accounting Guideline (“AcG-13”), “Hedging Relationships”, to be applied by companies for periods beginning on or after July 1, 2003. The standard establishes criteria to identify, designate, document and determine the effectiveness of hedging relationships, for the purpose of applying hedge accounting and provides guidance on the discontinuance of hedge accounting. Under Canadian GAAP the Company adopted AcG-13 effective April 1, 2004 and determined the interest rate swaps do not meet the criteria of effective hedges and therefore the fair valuation losses of nil and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — gains of $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively) on the Company’s interest swap and fair valuation gains of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 (2004 — loss of $0.1 million and gain of $0.2 million, respectively) on a subsidiary company’s interest swap are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, which is consistent with U.S. GAAP.

      The transitional provisions of AcG-13 provide that when an entity terminates its designation of a hedging relationship or a hedging relationship ceases to be effective, hedge accounting is not applied to gains, losses, revenues or expenses arising subsequently. However, the hedge accounting applied to the hedging relationship in prior periods is not reversed. Any gains, losses, revenues or expenses deferred previously as a result of applying hedge accounting continue to be carried forward for subsequent recognition in income in the same period as the corresponding gains, losses, revenues or expenses associated with the hedged item. Accordingly, under Canadian GAAP at April 1, 2004 the Company recorded the fair values of the interest rate swaps totaling $3.0 million on the consolidated balance sheet and recorded the off-setting entry to deferred assets which is being amortized straight-line to interest expense over the terms of the hedged items. This results in an additional interest expense in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 of $0.2 million and $0.5 million respectively (2004 — $0.2 million and $0.5 million).
