as contemplated by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"),

the Transaction and the Share Consolidation (as defined below). Closing of the

Business of Dual

Dual is an established logging company located in British Columbia. The company

a "stump to dump" contractor, annually logging approximately 250,000 cubic
meters of Crown timber plus constructing approximately 65-70 km of roads. The
Jemi Group of Companies gradually moved from this model to acquiring, logging
and developing private timber land in British Columbia and Ontario. Through its
history, the Jemi Group has logged hundreds of thousands of acres of private
timber land and developed and sold thousands of acres of its land for
recreational use.


Over the past two years, Dual has acquired significant logging contracts on
Crown land in and around Mackenzie, British Columbia and Midway, British
Columbia resulting in anticipated annual logging of over 400,000 cubic metres of
timber. Full production of Dual's current logging contracts commenced in the
last quarter of its year ended April 30, 2012. Dual's gross revenue for its year
ended April 30, 2012 period was approximately $7.9 million and its net income
for that period was approximately $144,000. Dual anticipates expansion through
the acquisition of further Crown and private timber supply.
