Letter to Shareholders

Jovian revenue and EBITDA continue to be sensitive to the earnings of MGI Securities Inc. The significant contribution made by our broker warrant position last year was not as evident this year, thus both EBITDA and revenue were down compared to last year. However, the company continues to make progress in line with our strategy established in 2003.

Since we merged with Rice Capital Management in 2003 we have seen tremendous growth, surpassing our original forecast. Revenue has increased from an approximate $21.0 million to $128.0 million and our EBITDA has increased from a negative position to $12.9 million. Total client assets are now in excess of $14.0 billion compared with $3.7 billion in 2003 and more significantly our asset management business now accounts for some $5.0 billion of the $14.0 billion total.

We have created and grown our asset management platform, making it a significant contributor to our total revenue and EBITDA. The asset management platform generates a more predictable flow of earnings than that of the wealth management platform. It has always been part of our strategy to grow this platform in order to minimize the volatile nature of earnings associated with the wealth management companies, and in particular MGI Securities Inc.

The year has been a significant one in moving our growth strategy forward:

• Our asset management companies T.E. Investment Counsel Inc., JovInvestment Management Inc. and Leon Frazer & Associates Inc. saw good growth. Today they manage approximately $5.0 billion in assets collectively.

• Subsequent to our year end, we reached an agreement with the professionals at MGI Securities Inc. to have them become shareholders in MGI with the sale of up to 30 per cent of MGI to staff. We welcome them as a significant stakeholder in the company and believe it important to the growth of an entrepreneurial company like MGI that employees have an equity stake.

• Our Principal Protected Note business has continued to grow over the year. We have issued more than $500 million of Notes to date.

• We acquired Fairway Asset Management Corporation, now called JovFunds Management Inc., a company that creates, manages and markets financial products. All our investment product brands are now being consolidated under the JovFunds Management umbrella.

• We have hired two new CEOs, Doug Kee at Leon Frazer and Lewis Reford at MGI. Both bring considerable experience to help these companies continue to grow. In addition, the management team at Jovian has also been strengthened.

• We continue to see positive margin expansion from our asset management platform.

• Our strategic investment in BetaPro Management Inc. is turning out to be a very significant investment. Its Bull and Bear Funds continue to grow and its ETFs business has seen significant growth. BetaPro has eight ETFs in the market and is one of the fastest growing providers of such products in North America.

• George Frazer, Chairman of Leon Frazer and lead manager of the IA Canadian Conservative Equity Fund, was awarded the Career Achievement Award by Canadian Investment Awards, in recognition of his service in the financial services industry. Mr. Frazer is added to the list of previous winners of this prestigious award including: Ned Goodman, Alexander Christ, Dominic D’Alessandro, James O’Donnell, Peter Cundill, David Bisset, Robert Krembil, Warren Golding, and Sir John Templeton.

We continue to believe we are building a unique and attractive business model. As with any fast growing organization, we will show volatility in our financial results. However, as every quarter goes by I become more comfortable that we will be able to execute our strategy and meet our goals.

Asset management for traditional and alternative portfolios is provided through a number of Jovian’s investment management companies. JovInvestment Management Inc. offers portfolio advisory services to pooled funds, managed funds, and high net worth individuals. T.E. Wealth (TE) provides fee-only financial counseling as well as pooled funds and asset allocation management to high net worth individuals and institutions. Leon Frazer & Associates Inc. (LEON) offers investment management services to high net worth individuals, trusts, and foundations. Accumulus Management Ltd. (ACCUMULUS) manages the Accumulus family of mutual funds and principal protected notes. JovFunds Mangement Inc. (“JFI” – formerly Fairway Asset Management Corp.) is a Canadian-based financial services firm that creates, markets, and manages closed end and labour-sponsored investment products and is responsible for the alternative asset funds found within the Jovian family. Jovian also maintains a minority ownership interest in BetaPro Management Inc. (BetaPro), which offers a unique pair of alternative index exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) as well as the family of Horizons BetaPro Funds. The Horizons BetaPro ETFs provide Bull & Bear exposures to the S&P/TSX 60 index and endeavor to correspond to two times (200%) the daily (or inverse daily) performance of the underlying index. The family of Horizons BetaPro Funds provides investors the ability to profit or protect from the rise or fall in equity markets, interest rates, the US dollar, crude oil, or the physical gold price. The family is comprised of seven long funds

– the Bull Plus Funds – and seven short funds – the Bear Plus Funds.

In addition, Jovian provides a range of financial services to alternative products, mutual and hedge funds, and their management companies through wholly-owned subsidiary Felcom Data Services Inc. (FDS), which includes Québec administrator Felcom Data Services (Québec) Inc. These financial services include: portfolio and fund valuation, accounting, transfer agent services, client/dealer services, and management administration.

Our strategy is to generate shareholder value using a business model that seeks to diversify and balance operations within the two separate market segments in order to leverage the strengths of each investment’s brand recognition and operating efficiencies.

During the past year, Jovian was very successful in introducing new products to the Canadian marketplace, while increasing its presence in both the asset and wealth management businesses.

PRODUCT LAUNCHESThrough the combined efforts of our subsidiaries LEON, ACCUMULUS, and JFI in combination with RBC and IA Clarington, the closing of the sale of the RBC IA Leon Frazer Yield Deposit Notes Series 7 and 8 was announced after successfully reaching over $60 million in sales. In aggregate, over $200 million has been raised in Series 1 through 8 of the Note program in less than one year.

During the year, JFI with its partners CIBC and ABN AMRO Asset Management exceeded $45 million in sales of the CIBC International Yield Notes Series 1 and 2. The Note is linked to a portfolio comprised initially of three international funds managed by ABN AMRO Asset Management, including the award-winning ABN AMRO Global Emerging Markets Bond Fund.

A further partnering with CIBC resulted in $28 million of sales into the CIBC Gartman Global Allocation Deposit Notes, Series 1. This Note is sub-advised by The Gartman Letter, L.C., the publisher of The Gartman Letter.

Through related company BetaPro and its partnership with National Bank Financial and ProShare Advisors LLC, the first exchange-traded funds in Canada to offer inverse and magnified exposure to the S&P/TSX 60 Index were launched on January 9, 2007. These innovative and timely products trade under the names Horizons BetaPro S&P 60 Bull Plus ETF (symbol: HXU) and the Horizons BetaPro S&P 60 Bear Plus ETF (symbol: HXD).

Subsequent to year end, in response to positive investor reception, BetaPro is in the process of introducing six additional Horizon BetaPro exchange-traded funds providing inverse and magnified exposure to the S&P/TSX Capped Energy, S&P/TSX Global Gold and the S&P/TSX Capped Financials indexes.

In addition, on April 20, 2007 JovFunds completed a $2.35 million USD investment, representing an approximate 13 per cent total interest, into Tailwind Financial Inc. (“Tailwind”), a special purpose acquisition company formed in the US to acquire one or more businesses in the financial services industry. Tailwind raised approximately

$100 million USD through a public offering and is listed on the AMEX under the symbol TNF.U. Additional information on this investment is available at www.tailwindfc.com.

ACQUISITIONSOn May 9, 2006, Jovian partnered with Fairway Asset Management Corp. of Toronto. In exchange for 100 per cent of the Class “A” Shares and 49 per cent of the Class “C” Shares of Fairway. Jovian paid $11.3 million in cash, issued 7 million common shares with a deemed issue price of $0.88 per share, and issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $6 million, for a total purchase price of approximately $23.5 million. Subsequently on March 31, 2007 the company acquired the remaining Class “C” Shares for nominal consideration.

On May 19, 2006, Jovian acquired Charterhouse PSI Management Corporation (“Charterhouse”), by taking up the balance of shares under an earn-out arrangement for cash consideration of $300 thousand. The company originally invested $250 thousand in September, 2004 for a 12.5 per cent minority stake. Charterhouse is the manager of $54 million Charterhouse Preferred Share Index Corporation (“PSI”) (PFD.PR.A: TSX).

On May 31, 2006, the company also acquired control of Horizons Funds Inc. for $910 thousand cash and the issuance of 2,564,972 shares at a deemed issue price of $1.01. This transaction added approximately $90 million in managed assets to Jovian through the Horizons Mondiale Hedge Fund.

The combination of these acquisitions furthers our initiative to build our asset management platform into a significant player within the management of alternative asset products.

On June 21, 2006 RFG within our wealth management segment acquired 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Kemp Consulting Ltd, a provider of group insurance services, for $501 thousand of cash consideration. The subsidiary also acquired the right to service and the revenues generated from certain clients of Sawyer and Sawyer Ltd. for $287 thousand cash consideration.

AMENDMENTS TO CAPITAL RESOURCES During the second quarter, certain minority shareholders of LEON amended the terms of their shareholders agreement and removed the obligation of the company to repurchase their shares upon their death, disability, dismissal (without cause), or retirement. The amendment resulted in the elimination of the share redemption liability associated with these shares of approximately $3.4 million. The amount was added to contributed surplus during the quarter. The remaining minority shareholders retain their redemption privileges as per their shareholding terms and continue to be valued under the share redemption liability caption.

During the third quarter, the company amended the terms of its $3.5 million convertible debenture announced on December 31, 2003. The original convertible debenture matured in three years, but was extended for an additional two years to December 12, 2008. The interest owing to maturity under the original terms was paid and the coupon going forward was reduced from 12 per cent to 6 per cent, payable semi-annually. The debenture remains convertible into common shares of Jovian, at the option of the holder, at any time up to maturity. The conversion price has been increased from the previous $0.75, and is now variable based on a formula derived from the 20-day weighed average trading price of Jovian’s common shares. As a result of the amended terms, the debt is now presented as long-term debt moving out of the current portion classification on the consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent to year end, the company announced its subsidiary MGI had created an Equity Plan for employees. The purpose of the plan is to attract and retain key professionals by providing eligible employees the ability to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 30 per cent of the outstanding shares of MGI.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSThe company entered into transactions with related parties that have been recorded at the exchange amount – the amount that has been agreed to by the related parties.

During the year, the company paid rents and signage of $415 thousand (2006 – $407 thousand) to companies controlled by a significant shareholder of the company.

During the year, the Company received commissions and fees of $264 thousand (2006 – $62 thousand) and other revenue of $42 thousand (2006 – $nil) from a related company.

Security trades executed by the company for directors and officers are transacted under the terms and conditions applicable to all customers.

REVENUERevenue for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2007 was $30.8 million and $128.4 million compared to $59.9 million and $131.8 million in the prior year. As referenced in the prior quarters’ MD&A, revenue was contributed via a subsidiary that in the prior year was not part of the consolidated entity. As a result, approximately $3.4 million and $11.3 million of the commissions and fees revenue for the three and twelve month periods have no comparable figures. Exclusive of this contribution, the comparison of the three month periods result in a revenue decrease of $32.5 million or 54 per cent and the comparable twelve month periods result in a decrease of $14.7 million or 11 per cent respectively. In addition, revenue for the comparative twelve months ended March 31, 2006 included a performance fee from the asset management segment of $4.6 million, which is non-recurring in nature.

The largest contribution to the decrease in revenue for the comparable three month period and for the year was found within our investment dealer, MGI, and in particular their capital markets group. The capital markets group within this dealer contributed $52.4 million of investment banking and principal trading revenue or 40 per cent of Jovian’s total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006. This compares to a contribution of $28.0 million or 22 per cent of the total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2007. In addition, much of the 2006 contribution occurred within the fourth

quarter with investment banking and principal trading revenue reported as $36.8 million versus $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.

As referenced in both the 2005 and 2006 annual reports, MGI’s corporate finance group will on occasion receive broker warrants as part of their compensation for services performed. Broker warrants entitle the holder to acquire stock of an issuing company at a predetermined price over a specified period of time. In fiscal 2005, the company received such compensation warrants from its banking client, Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd., and during fiscal 2006, the company greatly benefited from the market appreciation of the underlying shares. This form of revenue is very susceptible to changes in market sentiment and the overall risk associated with the financial and capital markets. The holdings in this particular warrant position have significantly decreased in fiscal 2007 via dispositions within the market place. As a result, the associated revenue will not have any comparable amounts in future periods.

In order to manage the risks associated with financial service revenues, the company’s strategy is to diversify its sources of revenue across its client asset platforms. The services provided to clients make up two baskets of revenue: transactional revenue and recurring revenue. The company’s strategy is to provide and grow services that create or shift assets to recurring revenue, while maintaining its core assets under administration and related transactional revenue. The comparative yearly results reflect an improved revenue mix and in particular a growth in our recurring revenue within both segments of the company.

Exclusive of the direct influence of the MGI capital markets group and acquisitions made during 2007 with no comparable amounts, revenue was $25.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $23.1 million for the same period of 2006. This represents an increase of $2.5 million or 11 per cent quarter versus quarter.

Offsetting the decrease in revenue associated with MGI, the company had positive contributions across its significant operating companies. TE, LEON, and FDS, all experienced revenue growth over the same periods of the prior year. Revenue growth for the comparable year over year for these companies ranged from 20 to 40 per cent. This is further evidenced by the increase in client assets found within the organization and outlined in the Client Assets table.

ADJUSTED EBITDA AND EBITDAJovian reported Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA, management performance measures, of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared with $11.4 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Adjusted EBITDA as a per centage of revenue was 3 per cent for the quarter compared to 19 per cent for the fourth quarter of the previous year. The decrease in the comparable percentages resulted from the decrease in revenue contributed from MGI. As indicated previously, MGI in the fourth quarter of 2006 had a significant influence on the results due to the success within their capital markets group. Investment banking and principal trading revenue for the comparable quarter of 2007 was approximately $35.0 million lower than that of the prior year. This decrease in high margin warrant revenue within the segment, due to the variable nature of compensation payouts, accounted for the dramatic drop in the EBITDA during the comparable quarter.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA was $13.1 million and $12.9 million compared to $18.2 million and $17.6 million for the comparable 2006 year. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the comparative twelve month periods was 10 per cent and 14 per cent respectively. The company’s strategy to diversify its sources of revenue across its client asset platforms has aided in its ability to report comparative percentages for the year inclusive of the MGI influence on results.

Management uses these measurements to evaluate its success in growing the underlying business. This is particularly important for an emerging-stages company where part of its growth strategy is through acquisitions. The majority of the assets acquired in the purchase of a financial services company are classified as intangible assets and amortized over the term of their useful lives. This includes, but is not limited to: value assigned to customer relationships, contracts, and brand names. The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enables management to measure performance before the inclusion of these costs and non-cash costs to concentrate on the operating expenses of the company and its return on revenue.

EXPENSESTotal expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was $31.1 million compared to $54.6 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year representing a decrease of $23.5 million or 43 per cent. Total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $126.4 million compared to $126.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Jovian reported $8.0 million in subsidiary expenses for the year ended March 31, 2007 that in the prior year was not part of the consolidated entity. Of this, $2.1 million was classified as compensation and benefits; $5.3 million as selling, general and administrative; $0.4 million in amortization expense; and $0.2 million as income taxes. A comparative figure does not exist due to the subsidiary’s date of purchase.

Compensation and benefits was $18.6 million for fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $38.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2007, compensation and benefits was $76.0 million compared to $85.8 million for the corresponding period for fiscal 2006 representing a decrease of $9.8 million or 11 per cent. Compensation expenses as a percentage of revenue was 60 per cent for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to 65 per cent for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and 59 per cent versus 65 per cent for the comparable twelve month period. The ratio reflects the largely variable nature of compensation and is influenced by the individual platforms and compensation grids found within each entity. The ratio for the current quarter of 60 per cent is higher than the 59 per cent reported for the twelve month period due to the relative contribution by these different platforms within the company. A similar occurrence was also reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 with compensation as percentage of revenue reported as 56 per cent for the quarter and 59 per cent for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

Selling, general and administration expense was $11.5 million for the three months and $39.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2007 compared to $9.8 million and $28.3 million for the prior year. The $1.7 million or 17 per cent and $11.2 million or 40 per cent increase in the comparable periods represents the expansion occurring within the existing platforms in addition to the impact of acquisitions completed during the course of the year. Selling, general and administration expense represents 31 per cent of total revenues and comprises 31 per cent of total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2007 compared to 22 per cent of total revenues and 23 per cent of total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2006.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, interest on long-term debt was $0.5 million compared to $0.5 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2006 and $2.7 million versus $1.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. The interest on long-term debt reflects the interest-bearing debt structure found within the balance sheet. The debt advanced and issued during the later part of the first quarter, as a result of acquisitions, amounted to approximately $11.0 million and continues to result in a greater increase in interest expense for the year. However, the magnitude of the increase has been offset by the interest rate savings negotiated on the $3.5 million convertible debenture in the third quarter of 2007, which was referenced above within the operational results caption.

For the three months and year ended March 31, 2007, amortization expense was $1.6 million and $4.8 million, compared to $0.6 million and $2.8 million for the prior year. The increase of $2.0 million or 100 per cent for the comparable twelve months is a result of the final allocation of the excess purchase prices over estimated fair values of the net assets acquired for the JovFunds acquisition.

Revaluation of share redemption liability is the change in the company’s obligation to repurchase the shares held by certain individuals of LEON. The twelve month change to the total obligation, a non-cash charge to the statement of operations, is $0.3 million compared to $0.9 million during the comparable period of the prior year. On a comparative basis, the expense item has been impacted by certain minority shareholders of LEON amending the terms of their shareholders agreement and removing the obligation of the company to repurchase their shares upon their death, disability, or dismissal (without cause), as referenced in second quarter of fiscal 2007. As a result, the current obligation only represents the remaining minority shareholders who have retained their redemption privileges as per their shareholding terms. The three month change to the total obligation ended March 31, 2007 was nil compared to $0.1 million during the comparable period of the prior year.

Income taxes for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $2.6 million compared to a provision of $6.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The provision for income taxes for the current fiscal year of $2.6 million is comprised of a $9.0 million current income tax provision and a $6.4 million future income tax recovery as compared to a $1.5 million current income tax provision and a $5.1 million future tax provision. The future tax amounts arise as a result of the timing difference associated with revenue recognized for accounting versus tax purposes. The prior year’s provision for future tax has largely been moved into the current year’s provision as the gains associated with warrant positions have been realized due to disposition of the underlying shares.

EARNINGSThe company reported earnings for the year ended March 31, 2007 of $2.0 million after incurring a fourth quarter net loss of $0.3 million. This compares to net earnings of $5.4 million and $5.3 million for the corresponding periods ended March 31, 2006.

SEGMENTED INFORMATIONThe company operates within two industry segments: wealth management and asset management. Wealth management provides the administration of private wealth assets and distribution of financial solutions. Asset management is the management and support of financial assets.

Corporate and other includes revenue and expenses not specifically allocable to wealth and asset management. Corporate compensation and benefits as well as general administrative expenses are comprised of amounts paid to, and in support of, corporate personnel including executive, legal, information technology, and accounting. This also includes any costs directly related to being a public issuer.

ASSET MANAGEMENT Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $14.0 million representing an increase of $5.3 million or 61 per cent over the comparable quarter of the prior year. As referenced above, the fiscal 2007 quarter includes $3.4 million of revenue contributed via subsidiaries that do not have a comparable figure in the prior year. Excluding this item, the revenue for the segment has increased $1.9 million or 22 per cent.

For the year ended March 31, 2007 revenue was $49.0 million compared to $34.9 million for the same period of the prior year. As referenced above, two factors have influenced the comparison of the twelve month periods: $11.3 million of revenue was contributed via subsidiaries with no comparable figure in the prior year and the 2006 comparable period includes a $4.6 million performance fee that is not recurring revenue for the segment. Excluding these two factors, revenue for the segment has increased $7.4 million or 24 per cent.

Compensation and benefits was $5.8 million for fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $6.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2007, compensation and benefits was $21.9 million compared to $21.1 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2006. Compensation expenses as a percentage of revenue was 45 per cent for the year ended March 31, 2007 compared to 61 per cent for the comparable period. The fiscal 2006 comparable period includes a variable payout on the $4.6 million performance fee earned by the company and represents a portion of decrease in the comparison to fiscal 2007; however, as expected, a further decrease was realized due to the segment’s revenue growth and the corresponding primarily fixed nature of the payout grid found within the segment.

Selling, general and administration expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was $5.3 million compared to $2.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administration expense for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $16.3 million compared to $8.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. It represents 38 per cent and 33 per cent of total revenue for the three month and year ended March 31, 2007 compared to a 31 per cent and 24 per cent reported for the same period of the prior year. As referenced above, fiscal 2007 includes $5.1 million of selling, general and administrative expenses from subsidiaries that do not have a comparable figure in the prior year. Excluding this item, selling, general and administrative expense for the segment has increased $2.6 million or 33 per cent. Further, approximately $1.0 million of this increase is directly attributable to third-party system costs required to expand the fund accounting, shareholder and unitholder, record-keeping services of FDS, which is reported within this segment.

For the quarter and year ended March 31, 2007 EBITDA was $2.9 million and $10.7 million compared to $(0.4) million and $5.1 million for the prior year. EBITDA as a percentage of revenue for the comparative years ended was 21 per cent and 15 per cent respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESJovian’s balance sheet is comprised of highly liquid assets due to regulatory requirements and operational needs. Cash and only those investments considered cash equivalents, included under the title Securities Owned, were $44.3 million as at March 31, 2007 compared with $27.9 million as at March 31, 2006.

Sources and Uses of Cash (in thousands of Canadian dollars except % amounts)

For the years ended 31-Mar-07 31-Mar-06

Cash from operating activities before changes in non cash operating working capital items

$ 1,386 $ 14,679

Changes in non cash operating working capital items 20,781 (19,080)

Cash from operating activities 22,167 ( 4,401)

Cash from financing activities 3,599 13,169

Cash used in investing activities (14,006) (1,881)

Increase in cash during the year $ 11,760 $ 6,887

The company’s liquidity needs are met through a variety of sources including: cash generated from operations, short-term and long-term borrowings, and the issuance of share capital. Funds are primarily used for operational expenses, sustaining and growth capital expenditures, acquisitions, interest, and principal payment on debentures.

Before changes in non-cash operating working capital items, cash flow from activities for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $1.4 million as compared to $14.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 representing a decrease of $13.3 million or 90 per cent. The decrease under this caption on a comparative basis is a direct result of the decrease in revenue and thereby earnings contributed by the wealth management segment—and in particular MGI from its broker warrant holdings. The $24.4 million decrease in investment banking and principal trading revenue on a comparative fiscal year end basis has largely accounted for the resulting $3.5 million decrease in earnings. In addition, as a result of exercising a significant portion of warrant holdings and selling the underlying security during fiscal 2007 the tax obligation associated with the gain has moved from a $5.0 million future tax obligation or positive effect on cash flow to one that is current in nature and thereby negative by approximately the same amount. This represents a further $10.0 million shift in cash flow from operations on a comparative basis.

During fiscal 2006, the company received net proceeds from financing activities, via the issuance of share capital and proceeds from its operating lines, of approximately $13.0 million that was primarily invested in short-term securities decreasing non cash operating working capital.

During fiscal 2007, the company redeemed the prior year’s short-term investments, increasing non cash operating working capital, and drew an additional $5.0 million on its operating facility. The company repaid $2.5 million of previously issued long-term debt and employed the majority of the amount remaining available to fund its acquisition activities which, net of cash acquired, was $12.3 million.

The balance of the increase in cash flow as compared to the March 31, 2006 balance sheet results in the remaining change in non-cash operating working capital as presented in the statement of cash flows. Jovian A

OPERATING CREDIT FACILITY AND LONG-TERM DEBTThe company has approximately $26.6 million in long-term debt outstanding at March 31, 2007 of which $16.3 million is due within the proceeding twelve months.

The company has a debenture, repayment option in cash or common shares, due October 27, 2007 with a current maturity value of $1.1 million.

At March 31, 2007, the company had $14.9 million outstanding of a $28.0 million credit facility. The credit facility expires December 15, 2007 and the company is currently in negotiations with the provider with the intent to extend the term.

During the first quarter, the company drew down $3.0 million on its credit facility, which resulted in the issuance of 650 thousand warrants plus $2.0 million on its banking facility. The advances were a result of acquisition funding requirements incurred during the quarter.

The acquisitions completed during the year have resulted in the issuance of 9,699,972 shares and a $6.0 million unsecured, convertible, and callable debenture bearing interest at 6 per cent due May 4, 2008. In addition, the company may have a final amount owing, to a maximum of $4.0 million, which is contingent upon the aggregate asset value found within a specific underlying fund and, if applicable, would be payable in combination on January 25, 2007 and 2008.

The company also has an outstanding secured debenture bearing interest at 6 per cent with a maturity value of $3.5 million due December 12, 2008.

The remaining issuances and information regarding our long-term debt is available in Note 11 of the March 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2007 the company has 4.6 million warrants outstanding entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the company for each warrant at $0.75 per common share. During the year 500 thousand warrants were exercised and the underlying 500 thousand shares due on exercise but not issued have been recorded as due for share issuance.

Risks and Uncertainties that Could Affect Future ResultsCOMPETITIONEngaged in a highly competitive marketplace, Jovian continually competes with other financial services companies often with greater financial scales and distribution capacities. Although the players and themes are constantly changing, they include

s

discount transaction firms, niche players, and integrated financial service companies. In order to compete and protect our existing market share, Jovian has strategically diversified its revenue sources and its client base while typically focusing financial solutions to the retail investor who historically has a higher rate of retention when compared to that of an institutional investor.

ABILITY TO RETAIN AND RECRUIT PERSONNEL As a service provider, Jovian depends on its employees’ capacity to foster relationships and deliver quality service. Jovian’s ability to nurture, enhance, and augment client relationships is directly impacted by its employees’ ability to meet their clients’ needs and expectations. Recognizing the impact a competitive environment could have on our ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel, Jovian has mitigated the risks by offering competitive, performance-based incentives, profit-sharing programs, and employee share purchase programs. All of these serve to attract qualified employees who share management‘s and shareholders’ strategic focus.

GENERAL MARKET RISK AND CONSUMER CONFIDENCEThe financial services industry is subject to a variety of inherent risks including, without limitation: economic growth, market risk, inflation, political risk, interest rate risk, liquidity, and market volatility. Each risk factor has the potential to impact consumer confidence, as well as Jovian’s ability to generate revenue.

A reduction in revenue would more likely occur in Jovian’s transactional-based businesses, where trading and underwriting volumes could potentially decrease. Jovian has mitigated this risk by also investing in entities that produce non-transactional revenue. By investing in entities with fee-based revenue and focusing on ownership in managed products that seek to capitalize on market risk, we ensure a means of uninterrupted revenue during unstable times.

STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIC AND ACQUISITION GROWTHJovian continues to grow its operations organically and through strategic relationships and acquisitions. In doing so, management must ensure resources are available to administer, monitor, and manage a growing organization. Without continued revenue growth, Jovian may experience a constriction in margins, which could further inhibit our ability to invest in the people, systems, and controls required to successfully manage our growing operations.

REGULATIONJovian is subject to a number of regulatory bodies throughout its financial services platforms. The regulatory environment is one of constant change, encompassing the current views of provincial securities commissions, stock exchanges, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the Investment Dealers Association, the Mutual Fund Dealer Associations of Canada, and the Canadian Investor Protection Fund. These bodies regulate and protect the sale and purchase, underwriting, and distribution of securities.

In a constant state of flux, regulations continue to tighten in response to the public’s perception of the securities industry and the collapse of many public companies. Regulatory changes, incorrect interpretations, or failure to comply with the laws, rules and regulations could all have an adverse affect on us. Jovian supports all regulatory efforts to protect client interests and preserve the integrity and reputation of the industry and its members. We look forward to ways in which future developments will further these objectives.

Critical Accounting PoliciesA summary of significant accounting policies is presented in the Notes to Jovian’s March 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements. The policies discussed below are considered to hold a particular amount of importance due to their use of management estimates, which may relate to matters inherently uncertain.

GOODWILLGoodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but rather subject to impairment tests. We must apply judgment in the selection and approach to determine fair value of any underlying assumptions. These judgments may affect the fair value and any resulting impairment write-downs. There is further information regarding our goodwill accounting policy and the composition of our goodwill in Notes 2 and 8 of the March 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFair value for the majority of financial assets, including securities owned and liabilities, is determined on quoted market prices. If quoted market values are not available, a best estimate of the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction is used. A provision is made in situations where we believe there is potential for the amount realized on sale to be less than the estimated fair value, due to liquidity or market concerns. However, as we primarily invest and trade in publicly-traded instruments, the use of estimates does not significantly affect our financial condition.

Analysis

INCOME TAXESManagement uses its judgment in the estimation of income taxes and future income tax assets and liabilities. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure, assessing temporary differences that give rise to future tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation and the expected timing of the reversal of these future tax assets and liabilities. If management’s estimates and assumptions regarding the above differ from actual results, there could be an increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes in future periods.

Change in Accounting PoliciesJovian did not make any changes to its accounting policies during the current fiscal year.

Future Changes in Accounting PoliciesFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOMEThe Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued three new accounting standards: CICA 1530, Comprehensive Income, CICA 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement; CICA 3865, Hedges. The company adopted these new rules on April 1, 2007 and the impact will be presented within the June 2008 quarterly report. The company will have measured its financial assets and financial liabilities, as appropriate, at fair value and report a new section of shareholders’ equity called other comprehensive income.

A transition adjustment attributable to investment securities that the company classifies as held-for-trading and that were not previously recorded at fair value is recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings. Adjustments arising due to remeasuring investment securities that were not previously recorded at fair value and that are classified as available-for-sale are recognized in the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. None of the transition amounts that will be recorded in the opening retained earnings or in the opening accumulated other comprehensive income are expected to be material.

Controls – Disclosure & Internal Controls Over Financial ReportingPursuant to Multilateral Instrument 52-109, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance that material information is made known to management in a timely manner and that information required to be disclosed is reported within time periods prescribed

Page 24: Jovian Capital

by applicable securities legislation. Management has evaluated, or caused an evaluation under their direct supervision, the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures at March 31, 2007 and as a result of the review the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe them to be effective in providing such reasonable assurance.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has designed internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP. Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no changes that materially affect, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the company’s design of internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2007.

To the Shareholders of Jovian Capital Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Jovian Capital Corporation as at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, retained earnings (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsYears ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

(b) Revenue recognition:

Securities transactions and related revenue, commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded in the accounts on a trade date basis.

Commission revenue related to the sale of investment products is recognized on a trade date basis. Trailer commission fees on mutual fund products are recognized over time as they become receivable.

Corporate finance revenue consists of underwriting revenue and fees from mergers and acquisitions and other corporate finance advisory assignments which are recorded when the underlying transaction is substantially completed under the terms of the engagement. Syndicate expenses related to securities offerings in which the company acts as an underwriter or agent are deferred until the related revenue is recognized.

Revenue from investment management services is recognized on the net asset value of client investment portfolios as the revenues are earned. Revenue from financial planning services (including taxation, financial planning and financial education services) is based upon the hourly rate as such services are rendered. The Company recognizes work in progress based upon management’s estimate of the services performed to period end and is recorded at the lower of docket cost and net realizable values. Billings in advance of the delivery of services are recorded as deferred revenue.

Commission revenue on the subscriptions of individual insurance policies is recognized when the policy is underwritten by the insurance carrier. Commission revenue on group insurance policies is considered fully earned on the effective date of the policy.

(c) Cash held in trust:

Cash held in trust represents amounts deposited in trust accounts with Canadian financial institutions held principally for the settlement of purchase transactions, and cash held related to group insurance activities for remittance to insurance carriers. The corresponding liabilities are included in trust liability.

Page 32: Jovian Capital

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

(d) Securities owned and securities sold short:

Securities owned and securities sold short are carried at fair values as at the close of business at the balance sheet date. Fair value is based on quoted market prices for the exchange-traded equities. Equities, warrants and fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter markets are based on management’s estimate of amount to be realized on settlement assuming current market condition and an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time. For privately held or restricted securities, fair value is estimated by management using appropriate valuation methods, which take into account the liquidity of the security, the size of the bid and ask spread and the relative breadth of the market, current yield adjustments and other relevant factors or valuation models. Realized and unrealized changes in fair value are recognized in income from principal transactions in the year in which the changes occur.

(e) Property and equipment:

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of furniture and equipment is being amortized using the declining balance method over the estimated lives of the assets at the following annual rates:

Asset Rate Furniture and equipment 20% Computer equipment 30%

The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized by the straight-line method over the terms of the leases at rates varying between 10 per cent and 50 per cent per year. The cost of application software is amortized by the straight-line method over three years. Proprietary software is amortized by the straight-line method over five years.

(f) Deferred charges:

Costs incurred by the Company in conjunction with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt. Costs relating to fees for client account transfers, transition fees, and the prepayment of amounts for customer relationships managed by investment advisors are amortized on a straight-line basis over three years.

(g) Income taxes:

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. Under this method of accounting, the effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that enactment or substantive enactment occurs. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce future income taxes to an amount which will more likely than not be realized.

(h) Foreign exchange translation:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the year-end exchange rates and non-monetary items are translated at the rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Foreign exchange translation gains and losses are recorded in income in the year in which they occur.

(i) Long-term investments:

Long-term investments are carried at cost less provisions for impairment which are other than temporary. The fair value of the long-term investments is not readily determinable.

(j) Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

(k) Goodwill and intangible assets:

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid for the acquisition of a subsidiary over the fair value of the net assets acquired.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reporting unit is compared with its fair value. When the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. The second step is carried out when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the value of goodwill is determined in a business combination described in the preceding paragraph, using the fair value of the reporting unit as if it was the purchase price. When the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess and is presented as a separate line item in the statement of earnings before extraordinary items and discontinued operations.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, which do not have indefinite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. These intangible assets are subject to an impairment test when events and circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

(l) Compensation plans:

The Board of Directors has approved a profit sharing plan that provides for profit sharing with senior management of the Company and its affiliates on earnings in excess of pre-determined returns to shareholders.

The company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation for stock option awards granted after April 1, 2003. During the period, the company recorded $229,000 (2006 – $532,000) in stock-based compensation expense for options issued to directors, officers, key employees and consultants with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2007 (year of issuance): dividend yield of 0 per cent; expected volatility of 50 per cent; risk-free interest rate of 4.10 per cent; and expected life of three to five years.

(m) Per share calculations:

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the daily weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated using the daily weighted average number of shares that would have been outstanding during the period had all dilutive potential common shares been issued at the beginning of the period, or when the underlying options warrants or convertible securities were granted or issued, if later. The treasury stock method is employed to determine the incremental number of shares that would have been outstanding had the Company used proceeds from the exercise of options to acquire shares.

2. ACQUISITIONS:

(a) Acquisitions during 2007:

On May 9, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100 per cent of the Class A shares and 49 per cent of the Class C shares of JovFunds Management Inc (formerly Fairway Asset Management Corporation) (JovFunds). On March 31, 2007, the remaining 51 per cent of Class C shares were acquired. Consideration for the acquisition was $11,300,000 of cash, the issuance 7,000,000 common shares at $0.88 per share, and the issuance of a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $6,000,000.

Purchase price amounts give rise to future income tax liabilities that have been recorded in the same year in which the intangible assets are separately identified. The purchase prices have been allocated to tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill and intangible assets.

As a result of the acquisitions completed, the Company drew down $3,000,000 on its long term operating credit facility and $2,000,000 on its general operating bank line.

(c) Restatement:

The Company has determined that future tax liabilities related to certain intangible assets acquired upon previous years’ business acquisitions were not correctly reported in prior years. The impact of this correction is to increase the 2006 balance of goodwill in the amount of $6,515,000 (note 8) with a corresponding increase in the 2006 future tax liabilities balance (note 10). The impact of this correction on fiscal 2006 income, opening retained earnings and cash flow is not material and therefore no adjustment has been made to these accounts.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Fair values:

The fair values of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their current nature. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value, since they bear interest at rates comparable to the prevailing market rates.

Credit risk:

The Company’s financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company earns its commissions and fees from various financial institutions for placing funds for a large number of customers broadly dispersed across Canada.

Interest rate risk:

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as its operating credit facility bears interest at a variable rate.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company entered into the following transactions with related parties which have been recorded at the exchange amount which is the amount that has been agreed to by the related parties.

During the year, the Company paid rents and signage costs of $415,000 (2006 – $407,000) to companies controlled by a significant shareholder of the Company.

During the year, the Company received commissions and fees of $264,000 (2006 – $62,000) and other revenue of $42,000 (2006 – $nil) from a related company.

Security trades executed by the Company for directors and officers are transacted under the terms and conditions applicable to all customers.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

(a) The Company has entered into agreements to lease premises and equipment for various periods until 2017. Minimum rent payable for premises and equipment in the aggregate and for each of the next five years is as follows:

2008 $ 3,724,000

2009 3,298,000

2010 3,068,000

2011 2,845,000

2012 2,043,000

Thereafter 6,626,000

$ 21,604,000

The amounts noted for property lease commitments are exclusive of the Company’s obligation in respect of utility, common area and realty tax costs.

(b) In connection with its operations, the Company is from time to time subject to regulatory examinations, legal actions, or is named as defendant in actions for damages and costs allegedly sustained by the plaintiffs. Although it is difficult to predict the outcome of such legal actions, based on current knowledge and consultation with legal counsel, management does not expect the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position in excess of the amounts provided.

17. SEGMENTED INFORMATION:

The Company has determined that it operates in two industry segments as follows:

Wealth management – the administration of private wealth assets and distribution of financial solutions.

Asset management – the management and support of financial assets.

“Corporate and other” includes revenue and expenses not specifically allocatable to wealth and asset management. Corporate compensation and benefits as well as general administrative expenses are comprised of amounts paid to, and in support of, corporate personnel, including executive, legal, information technology, and accounting. This also includes any costs directly related to being a public issuer.

The Company’s industry segments are managed separately because each business offers different services and requires different personnel and marketing strategies. The Company evaluates the performance of each business based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

The Company does not allocate interest on long term debt on acquisitions, nor is amortization associated to acquisitions assigned to a business unit.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

(a) Acquisitions:

On April 20, 2007, JovFunds completed a $2.35 million USD investment in Tailwind Financial Inc. (“Tailwind”), a special purpose acquisition company formed in the U.S. to acquire one or more businesses in the financial services industry. The investment in Tailwind is via the purchase of 4.7 million common share warrants at $1 USD each by Parkwood Holdings Ltd. (“Parkwood”), a Canadian company that is 50% owned by JovFunds. These warrants have the same terms as those sold under the prospectus, including an exercise price of $6 USD each per warrant. Parkwood also holds approximately 3.5 million common shares of Tailwind, issued for nominal value.

(b) Equity plan:

Subsequent to year end, the company announced that its subsidiary MGI Securities Inc. (MGI) had created an Equity Plan for employees. The purpose of the plan is to attract and retain key professionals by providing eligible employees the ability to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 30% of the outstanding shares of MGI.

19. COMPARATIVE FIGURES:

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.
