Major items impacting financial performance are as follows:

Income from investments for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $1,321,232 compared to $47,336 for six months ended December 31, 2015. This significant increase was a direct result of the Company's business change from exploration and development on mineral properties to investing in publicly-traded or privately-held corporations and other marketable instruments such as bonds. Within the investments income, $677,826 was an unrealized gain on the Company's equity investments and $611,720 was from fair value change and interest earned on bonds.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, loss from investments was $2,361,196 compared to loss of $37,290 for three months ended December 31, 2015. Within the loss, $2,542,886 was an unrealized loss on the Company's equity investments in the mining industry. During the quarter, shares of most of the companies in the mining industry suffered loss due to a temporary dip in the global precious metal prices. Subsequent to period end, these unrealized losses were fully recovered. Fair value change and interest earned on bonds for the quarter was $152,954.

Operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $652,254 compared to $552,202 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. For three months ended December 31, 2016, operating expenses was $398,894 compared to $257,881 for the same prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was a result of the Company's increased activities in seeking various high quality investment opportunities globally. 

Foreign exchange gain for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $598,828 compared to $2,256,576 in the same prior year period. The Company holds a large portion of cash and cash equivalents and bonds in US dollars while the Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar, the fluctuation in exchange rates between the US dollar and Canadian dollar will impact the financial results of the Company. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the US dollar appreciated by 3.2% against Canadian dollar (from 1.3009 to 1.3427) while in the same prior year period the US dollar appreciated by 11.0% against Canadian dollar (from 1.2474 to 1.3840). The slowdown in the US dollar appreciation against the Canadian dollar in the relative periods was the reason for the reduced amount of foreign exchange gains. 

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, foreign exchange gain was $449,762 compared to $680,418 for the same prior year period.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

The Company would like to extent its best wishes to Rodney Stevens who has resigned from his position as Vice President of Corporate Development to pursue other opportunities.
