Linda Lundstrom

On January 31, 2008, Linda Lundstrom Inc. ("LLI") filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "Act"). LLI is currently reviewing its options in attempting to formulate a restructuring Proposal to its creditors.

By March 4, 2008, LLI failed to obtain an extension to file, or file, its Proposal, and accordingly, it was deemed to have filed an assignment in bankruptcy on March 4, 2008 in accordance with the Act. The LLI First Meeting of Creditors is scheduled for 11:00 AM on March 20, 2008, 255 Wicksteed Avenue, Toronto.

SALE OF ASSETS

Effective March 27, 2008, Ira Smith Trustee & Receiver Inc. was also appointed Receiver of the assets, properties and undertaking of LLI pursuant to security held by The Toronto-Dominion Bank, with limited specific powers. On March 28, 2008, the liquidation sale run by Danbury Industrial stopped. On March 31, 2008, as Receiver, the assets of LLI were sold en bloc to a purchaser who is going to continue the business of LLI from its Wicksteed Avenue premises. This purchaser has also retained the services of Ms. Linda Lundstrom to ensure that her creative vision and energy continues. Many of the former LLI employees have been provided with offers of employment to continue in their positions with the purchaser.

The sales proceeds were not sufficient to fully repay all the secured creditors and accordingly, there will not be any distribution to the unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy.

Holders of gift certificates, as well as customers, who paid deposits for goods not received prior to the date of bankruptcy, are unsecured creditors and must file the relevant proof of claim in the respective bankruptcy.
