<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; text-indent:72pt; font-size:12pt">On July 18, 2006 Stanford Development Corporation (&#147;Stanford&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;) dated July 14, 2006 with Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd. to form a joint venture for the purpose of purchasing two vacant lots for development (the &#147;Project&#148;). &nbsp;The lots are comprised of approximately 4.72 acres and are commonly known as 20514 - 80th Avenue and 20542 - 80th Avenue, Langley, British Columbia V3T 2V3.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; text-indent:72pt; font-size:12pt">Pursuant to the Agreement, a new company was to be formed to develop the Project. &nbsp;The new company, Township Holdings Ltd. (referred to herein as &#147;THL&#148;), has been formed. &nbsp;Each of the parties to the Agreement will own a one-third interest in THL and each will be entitled to appoint one member to THL&#146;s board of directors. &nbsp;Stanford will be entitled to appoint the President of THL. &nbsp;With the exception of the down payment needed to purchase the property that will comprise the Project and except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, all expenses incurred and all profits earned by THL in conjunction with the Project will be allocated in equal shares among Stanford, Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd. &nbsp;The down payment for the Project will be provided by Stanford and 449991 BC Ltd. only.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; text-indent:72pt; font-size:12pt">The Agreement was subject to the Registrant&#146;s satisfactory investigation of the development potential of the property comprising the Project, which investigation was completed on July 18, 2006. &nbsp;The total purchase price of the property to be developed is $2.99 million.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR>

<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; text-indent:72pt; font-size:12pt">The Agreement was negotiated among the Registrant, Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd, who are not related to each other.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin:0pt; text-indent:72pt; font-size:12pt">THL currently intends to apply for re-development of the lots by sub-division and then intends to resell or develop the sub-divided lots, although there is no assurance that THL will do this.</P>

The complete text of the Joint Venture Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as exhibit 99.  The description below is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Joint Venture Agreement.
On July 18, 2006 Stanford Development Corporation ("Stanford"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement") dated July 14, 2006 with Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd. to form a joint venture for the purpose of purchasing two vacant lots for development (the "Project").  The lots are comprised of approximately 4.72 acres and are commonly known as 20514 - 80th Avenue and 20542 - 80th Avenue, Langley, British Columbia V3T 2V3.
Pursuant to the Agreement, a new company was to be formed to develop the Project.  The new company, Township Holdings Ltd. (referred to herein as "THL"), has been formed.  Each of the parties to the Agreement will own a one-third interest in THL and each will be entitled to appoint one member to THL's board of directors.  Stanford will be entitled to appoint the President of THL.  With the exception of the down payment needed to purchase the property that will comprise the Project and except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, all expenses incurred and all profits earned by THL in conjunction with the Project will be allocated in equal shares among Stanford, Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd.  The down payment for the Project will be provided by Stanford and 449991 BC Ltd. only.
The Agreement was subject to the Registrant's satisfactory investigation of the development potential of the property comprising the Project, which investigation was completed on July 18, 2006.  The total purchase price of the property to be developed is $2.99 million.
The Agreement was negotiated among the Registrant, Canitalia Industries and 449991 BC Ltd, who are not related to each other.
THL currently intends to apply for re-development of the lots by sub-division and then intends to resell or develop the sub-divided lots, although there is no assurance that THL will do this.
