NOTICE OF MOTION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL


(FORM 62A)

! I, PAUL MICHAELS, of Low Newbiggin Estate. Aislaby, Whitby, North Yorkshire


United Kingdom, MAKE OATH AND SAY AS FOLLOWS.

1.! The plaintiffs - Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited “Blissfields”and Paul and
Charlotte Michaels ʻThe Michaels” and Others will apply under Rule 62.03 to the
Honorable Chief Justice of New Brunswick, or such other Judge of the Court of
Appeal as may be designated by the Chief Justice, in the Justice Building, Queen
Street, Fredericton, N.B., for leave to appeal from the order (or decision) of the
Honorable Justice Clendening, dated the 7th day of November, 2013.
Page 1 of 6
2.!! On the 30th October 2013 the plaintiffs were granted an injunction, enjoining the
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC hereafter) and its advisors from marketing, selling or
dealing with the Blissfield assets.

3.! At the review hearing on the 7th November 2013, Charlie Bird (Bird hereafter) of
Whitehead Bird & Miles represented the plaintiffs. He advised the court that he
believed that he was in a potential conflict as he was the lawyer for Fredericton
Appraisals. For the purpose of Ernst & Youngʼs receivership process, Joel LaPointe
of Fredericton Appraisals valued the Blissfield assets on 27th June 2013, at CAD
$525k. Joel LaPointe of Fredericton appraisals valued the company at CAD$4.6m on
13th January 2012, at the request of RBCʼs risk analyst department, and prior to the
plaintiffs taking out the RBC CAD$1.25m loan. Bird admitted that the significant
variance in Fredericton Appraisals valuations, would be called into question, and so
he could not act for either party.

4.!! The evidence submitted and heard at the hearing proved beyond all reasonable
doubt that the RBC and its advisors did not undertake a valuation of the assets
during or post construction of the lodge. The demand for payment notice was not
preceeded by a valuation. No commercial valuation was undertaken until the 27th
June 2013 only 2 weeks prior to E&Yʼs call for best bids. The bids were called on the
basis of a forced sale in a depressed market and after certain options to lease further
fishing had expired..

5.!! On the 7th November 2013, at the hearing in the Fredericton court of New
Brunswick, the injunction was released.

6.!! It is the plaintiffs position that given Birdʼs declaration of conflict, that the
question be raised, why the plaintiffs evidence was not apparently available and that
they should have been allowed an abridgment of time, to seek new counsel. Paul
Michaels (Michaels hereafter) is the joint majority owner of Blissfields in terms of
equity and share ownership. Michaels the ʻplaintiffʼ, was requested by Bird to attend
the court hearing in person. Michaels addressed Justice Clendening to explain that
he could represent the plaintiffs in person, as he had the “evidence” files that Bird
was supposed to present. Justice Clendening denied Michaels the opportunity to
address the court directly and adjourned the hearing for 5 minutes, directing him to
speak to Bird. Bird would not engage, simply stating “the property is going to be sold”

7.!! The plaintiffs were advised by their counsel that they had 10 days to appeal the
decision. When the plaintiffs tried to submit their appeal they were advised by the
Page 2 of 6
court that the deadline had passed, and that the statutory time for an appeal was 7
days, not 10.

It is the Plaintiffs position that;

8.! The judgement was unfair because the decision was only based on the
defendant's evidence as Bird failed to support the plaintiffs case because of his claim
there was a conflict of interest.
 
9.! The hearing could have been postponed until the plaintiffs were properly
represented.

10.! Stewart Mckelvey were in clear conflict in acting in this case. 


 
11.! The judgement considered, a valuation put forward by Ernst & Young as a
fundamental part of their submission. Joel LaPointe of Fredericton Appraisals, based
his 27th June 2013, $525k valuation, on a year in which the fishing was banned by
the authorities. The reasons given by Stewart McKelvey at the hearing did not
account for the extensive $4m difference between La Pointeʼs valuation dated Jan
2012 of $4.6m and his June 2013 as outlined in his submission. Had the plaintiffs
known at the beginning that after renovating the lodges their value would have been
$525k, the plaintiffs would not have taken out the loan or started the development in
the first place. Immediately that Blissfields opened in June 2012. it achieved 110% of
iits projected occupancy. For the whole of July 2012 the Lodge was overbooked. The
viability of the business at the point that the bank foreclosed, has never been
questioned, and did not form part of LaPointeʼs valuation.

12.! A breach in 'Good Faith' occurred, when the plaintiffs found it difficult to
comply with their 'contract' with RBC, once RBC issued demand notices on 29th
January 2013. This was 11 days after the plaintiff received notification that their
account was transferring from Queen Street Fredericton New Brunswick to Special
Loans Advisory Service in Halifax Nova Scotia.

13.! RBC loaned the plaintiffs money on a fishing business then closed all their
Canadian bank accounts which prevented them from operating, and in doing so took
away the ability to repay any monies owed to the bank

14.! The plaintiffs secured working capital of $120k & $250k and RBC still did not
allow them to operate for profit whilst marketing the opportunity to potential investors.

Page 3 of 6
15.! The plaintiffs are seeking a more equitable decision in an Appeal Court based
on the full facts and not those from one side only. 

16.! The plaintiffs respectfully seeks the following relief from the court on behalf of
Blissfields and others.

! (a)! an Order for the abridgment of time, and leave to appeal, pursuant to the
Rules of Court of New Brunswick, including without limitation, Rule 3.02;

40041642, 40038531, 40038283 and 40038341 (the “Properties”) until further Order
of this Court;

AFFIDAVIT

! I, PAUL MICHAELS, of Low Newbiggin Estate, Aislaby, Whitby, North


Yorkshire, United Kingdom, MAKE OATH AND SAY AS FOLLOWS:

1.! ! I am the President of Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited. I sit on the council
of and do act as an advisor to, the Atlantic Salmon Trust Registered Charity 252742 .
On both counts, I am qualified and do have personal knowledge of the matters
deposed to except where otherwise stated.

Page 1 of 6
2.! ! I am the President of Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited ("Blissfield") and
subject to the matters herein, am authorized by Blissfield to make this Affidavit.

3.!! ! On the 30th October 2013 the honourable court of New Brunswick
authorised an injunction enjoining the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC hereafter) from
selling, marketing or dealing with the Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited assets. A
copy of the court order is attached hereto and marked exhibit Q2.4

4.! ! On the 7th November 2013 the case was heard at Fredericton Court
House. Charlie Bird (Bird hereafter) of Whitehead Bird & Miles (WBM hereafter)
represented the plaintiffs. Bird was offered, but did not use or submit, the enclosed
evidence that had been compiled by the plaintiff. Attached hereto and marked as
exhibit Q2.2 is a copy of the email from Paul Michaels to Charlie Bird confirming the
evidence was available for the court hearing on the 7th November 2013.

5.! ! After hearing the evidence Justice Clendening ordered the release of the
injunction, A copy of the court order is attached hereto and marked exhibit Q2.8

6. ! ! At the hearing Bird advised the court that he believed that he was in a
potential conflict as he was the lawyer for Fredericton Appraisals who on 27th June
2013, had valued the assets for the purpose of the receivership process at CAD
$525k. Due to the valuation being significantly lower than the CAD$4.6m which the
same company had valued in January 2012, prior to the plaintiffs taking out the loan,
Bird admitted that this valuation would be called into question and so he could not act
for either or both parties because there would be a conflict of interest. Attached
hereto and are the valuations undertaken by Harold Moore (Moore hereafter) dated
8th November 2007 of CAD$3.2m exhibit W2.1, valuation by Moore dated 3rd March
2011 of CAD$4.4m exhibit W2.2, valuation by Moore and Joel La Pointe (LaPointe
hereafter) dated 13th January 2012 of CAD$4.6m exhibit W2.3, and the valuation by
Joel LaPointe dated 27th June 2013 of CAD$525k exhibit W2.4

7.! ! It should be noted that the receivership process precluded Blissfields from
securing an extension to purchase and sale agreements and renewing pool leases,
both of which played a key part in the marriage value of lodge plus water in all
valuations. No value was put on the trading business by Fredericton Appraisals. The
Old River Lodge (the trading company of Blissfields) achieved 110% of the projected
occupancy, in the first 5 weeks of trading. Attached hereto and marked exhibit D2.5
is the relevant occupancy section of the Profit & Loss projections, submitted to the
Royal Bank as part of the business Plan.
Page 2 of 6
8.! ! The plaintiffs were advised by Bird that they had 10 days to file an appeal.
Attached hereto and marked as exhibit R2.1 is a copy of Birdʼs email stating the
plaintiffs had 10 days to appeal.

9.! ! When the plaintiffs tried to file their appeal they were advised:

(i) They had to file it with a different court


(ii) They could not file it themselves as they had retained counsel
(iii) The deadline was 7 not 10 days

10.! ! In view of the conflict situation, I made the decision to seek direction from
the court of appeal in order that I could represent the Corporationʼs and Othersʼ case
personally. I therefore requested guidance on the legal format of any submissions
from the court.

11.! ! I was given a time and date of 2pm on Friday 13th December 2013, for the
motion of service for an abridgment of time and leave to appeal hearing.

12.! ! Due to financial constraints and work and personal commitments, the court
kindly agreed for the hearing to be conducted by means of a teleconference call. I
found the process of compiling the documentation a challenge, both from a timing
and legal format perspective.

13.! ! I have little knowledge, experience and understanding of the New


Brunswick legal process. I was of the understanding that the documents must be
served on the other parties (the defendants) 48 hours prior to the hearing, and that it
was the court that advised the defendants of the hearing date etc. I now know this
not to be the case.

14.! ! Catherine Lahey of Stewart McKelvey, advised me that she was unable to
attend the court on that date and that the documents should have been filed 10 days
in advance.

15.! ! I applied to the court for a new date and on the 23rd January 2014 the
court agreed to hear our case in Fredericton on the 21st February 2014.

Page 3 of 6
16.! ! Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to serve our
documents on Stewart McKelvey by the 11th February 2014.
! !
17.! ! Stewart McKelvey have requested that the hearing of the Motion by
teleconference, dated the 21st February 2014, be cancelled. The plaintiffs will re-
apply and endeavor to make themselves available for, the motion of service hearing
by telephone conference or videoconference, once a new date has been fixed with
the honourable court of New Brunswick, in Fredericton.

18.! ! I will advise the court once the documents have been completed and have
been confirmed as being “Served” on Stewart McKelvey, on behalf of RBC & Others.

19.! ! I make this Affidavit complete with exhibits “A2” - ”Z2” and in conjunction
with my Affidavit dated 30th October 2013, in support of a Preliminary Motion of
Service to Appeal wherein I seek the following relief on the behalf of Blissfields and
others:!

BLISSFIELD SPORTING CAMPS LIMITED


AND PAUL & CHARLOTTE MICHAELS
AND OTHERS
Applicants (Intended Plaintiffs)

ROYAL BANK OF CANADA


AND ERNST & YOUNG

Respondents (Intended Defendants)

SUPPORTING BRIEF

The Hearing
1.! At the hearing on the 7th November 2013 held at the Fredericton Law
Courts New Brunswick, Charlie Bird (Bird hereafter) of Whitehead Bird & Miles
(WBM hereafter) told the court that he felt that there may be a conflict in him
acting in this case, as WBM and himself personally, represented Fredericton
Appraisals (FA hereafter). He felt that the substantial differences of FAʼs
valuations pre and post the fishing lodge development, would require formal
explanation. As he was their legal counsel, a conflict would arise in representing

Page 1 of 27
both sides. Bird did not submit the plaintiffsʼ important evidence, which proved
beyond all reasonable doubt, that the Royal Bank of Canadaʼs (RBC hereafter)
actions in bringing in the receiver were premature and that they acted outside of
their own banking protocols. Attached hereto and marked as exhibit Q2.2 an
email from Paul Michaels to Charlie Bird confirming Blissfields evidence complied
and available for the hearing.

2." Catherine Lahey (Lahey hereafter) of Stewart McKelvey, counsel for the
RBC, stated that they did not see how Bird or WBM were in conflict. However,
given the $4m reduction between FAʼs valuation prior to starting development, and
after having completed $2m of development with the RBCʼs and other creditors
funding, the plaintiffs would question how Lahey could arrive at this conclusion.
Attached hereto and marked as exhibit E2.12,13,14 & exhibit H2.6 are
particulars of loans, taken out to meet Michaels formal obligations to meet any
cost overruns. Documents include Springhill Construction Limited $129k, 654581
NB Inc. For $40k, Lillian & Floyd Weaver $25k, Phoenix Wood Products $120k.

3." Justice Clendening asked whether there was anyone that could get up to
speed quickly on the case to which Bird Replied ʻNoʼ. One of the plaintiffs, Paul
Michaels (Michaels hereafter), who was in attendance, was not offered the
opportunity to exercise his right to seek alternative independent legal advice or
granted a stay of the decison pending further authority being granted under the
circumstances. Upon being notified of sale of the assets, on the 3rd October
2013, Michaels flew to New Brunswick as soon as his work and personal
commitments permitted. The purpose of his trip was to ask for the courtʼs
assistance in bringing a halt to the sale of his investments properties and
business. Michaels was perplexed as to why his own counsel had not made any
attempts to seek the courtʼs assistance in halting the receivership process, by
means of an injunction. Michaels was scheduled to fly back to the UK after the
proposed sale date, but rescheduled his accommodation and flight as he was
asked by Bird to stay in New Brunswick to attend the court to give evidence.
Michaels spent 7 days preparing a full file of evidence that could and should have
been presented to the court as evidence (see exhibit “A2”- “Z2”). Alternatively he
could have and was prepared to represent Blissfields, and others. John Bujold
(Bujold herafter) the legal counsel of Phoenix Wood Products Limited “PWP”, a
creditor of Blissfields, attended the hearing and was fully aware of the facts of the
case. PWP had equity in the decision and would have welcomed the opportunity

Page 2 of 27
to protect their investment in Blissfields by permitting Bujold to represent the
plaintiffs.
Attached hereto and marked as exhibit Q2.5, 6, 7 showing Paul Michaels Airfare
Birds email instruction to stay for hearing and Michaelsʼ change fee for return
Airfare.

4." Further, the plaintiffs believe that once the opportunity presented itself the
court did not give enough consideration to, or question why key and vital
information supporting the application was not submitted to the court by plaintiffsʼ
lawyers without explanation. It is the plaintiffs position that the fact that Justice
Clendening asked the question “was there any one that could get up to speed”,
highlighted the fact that there was ʻsome doubtʼ, and the plaintiffs should have
been offered the chance, and an abridgment of time to seek alternative counsel.

5." Prior to any decsion being made by Justice Clendening, Michaels politely
addressed Justice Clendening during the hearing, to express concern that the
plaintiffs evidence, which had been provided to their counsel, had not been
submitted and that he was happy to present it personally. Justice Clendening
denied Michaels the opportunity to address the court and make his case/plea,
instead directing him to speak with his counsel. In the absence of his own
evidence, Michaels wanted the opportunity to draw Justice Clendeningʼs attention
to the defendants affidavitʼs which itself evidenced beyond doubt, that the RBC
acted improvidently and that there was a severe breach in ʻGood Faithʼ between
the RBC and Blissfields and the Michaels, which has the real potential to ʻDefraudʼ
the plaintiffs of Millions of Canadian Dollars. Bird and plaintiff Michaels left the
courtroom and Bird simply insisted that the property was going to sell, and it did
not matter as that had always been our intention. Bird re-entered the courtroom
refusing to engage in any further discussion. The plaintiff refuted Birdʼs comments
and explained that Bird knew that this was not the case, as he had personally
helped create the Blissfields Marketing documents that outlined the business plan
to sell 5 of 6 equity shares, with the Michaels retaining one sixth whole share in
perpetuity. Michaels questioned Bird, as to what was really going on here, and
who was behind the deal? Bird made no further comment or effective further
representation to the court.
Attached hereto and marked as exhibit D2.7 is a copy of the Unanimous
shareholders agreement drawn up by Bird of WBM giving their details and
address as the contact for interested investors.

Page 3 of 27
6.! Ms Lahey of Stewart MacKelvey, told the court that the reason why they
had withheld the sale information from the plaintiff was they did not want him to
approach the buyer. Lahey further made reference to a telephone call to Bart
MacDonald of Barclays Enterprises Limited stating that Michaels had “interfered”
with the sale process by contacting the proposed buyer. Michaels did admit that
he contacted Bart MacDonald only under direction from his own legal counsel
Bird, and in order to seek clarification and qualify their future intentions. The
plaintiffs question the influence or effect of any such contact given that the sale
had continued to progress. Further, well in advance of the 31 October sale date,
the buyer Bart and Jane MacDonald had openly discussed with the locals and
lodge staff, the fact that they were buying the lodge and fishing. The plaintiffs are
doubly perplexed as to why the receivership was conducted on a ʻprivate basisʼ,
given that Ernst & Young (E&Y hereafter) advertised the sale both locally,
nationally and internationally effectively making it a very public affair, and causing
the Michaels significant ʻirreperable harmʼ in the process. Attached hereto and
marked as exhibit V2.5 showing a computer screen shot of Ernst & Youngʼs
online video of the sale of Blissfields.

7.! Justice Clendening stated in her lifting of the injunction, that she could not
continue to enforce the injunction issued by the court as she had not heard any
evidence in support of the case that proved “Fraud” or “Breach in Good Faith.”
Attached hereto and marked as exhibit Q2.8 is a copy of Justice Clendeningʼs
Order lifting the injunction.

Breach in Good Faith


8.! It is the plaintiffs position that if they had considered RBC capable or
permitted by law, to foreclose on them in such a premature and uncommercial
manor, they would never have provided their guarantees and so they would not
have taken out the loan. See exhibits E2.1 - E2.17

9.! Events and written case files presented at the court hearing, proved
multiple breaches in ʻGood Faithʼ. Crucial evidence was withheld from the court,
which is a clear case of deception as well as a further breach in Good Faith, and
could well be considered as a flagrant attempt to limit the courtʼs ability to arrive at

Page 4 of 27
a fair and just outcome for the plaintiffs. See exhibit W2.4 showing 27th June
2013 as the first date that RBC or its advisors undertook a commercial valuation.
The original date for the ʻbest bids was the 15th July 2013, 6 months after RBC
issued a demand notice and only 3 weeks before the globally and nationally
advertised set date of sale of Blissfields.

10." Between January and April 2013, RBC told the plaintiffs that they would
allow them time to operate the lodge and secure investors if they were able to
raise some operating capital. The plaintiffs raised operating capital from PWP and
issued the security documentation to RBC as proof. See exhibit H2.5, 6, 7. RBC
refused to engage in any discussions on how they could assist Blissfields further.
RBC refused to acknowledge or enter into any discussions regarding using PWPʼs
funds held in an RBC Secure GIC account as a guarantor and security for the
business to underpin further financial support from RBC. The plaintiff is claiming
that the RBCʼs insistence on ignoring any solution that they offered to bring a
mutually viable resolve to the situation, as well as finding excuses not to
acknowledge the private funding the plaintiffs had managed to secure under the
difficult environment of the receivership process, was ʻTortious interferenceʼ which
continued throughout the entire process. The guarantor would have provided
financial support when the plaintiffs needed it most during June and July 2013, or
until Blissfields was able to showcase the lodge in the summer and secure longer
term investors. After E&Yʼs 17 July 2013 final bids deadline failed to realise a
successful or adequate sale, RBC agreed to the use of a guarantor. RBC and itʼs
legal advisors knew the fishing business well and they knew that once July was
underway it was too late to rescue the fishing 2013 season; the damage was
done. The fact that RBC now agreed to a guarantor rendered unnecessary, the
entire sales and receivership process, which caused the plaintiffs quantifiable
irreparable harm to their business and character. RBCʼs foreclosure for a
comparative small sum of money owed, actually less than $20k not $65k as RBC
had previously stated, has caused significant amounts of mental anguish to
Blissfields principles and staff. The receivership process makes no commercial
sense and was not reasonable in its foundation or execution as it has incurred
realization costs of over CAD$200k.

Potential to DeFraud

Page 5 of 27
11.! Whilst the plaintiffs are guarded about drawing the wrong conclusions it is a
fact that Harold Moore (Moore hereafter) of Fredericton Appraisals and Bird for
WBM were the contacts listed on the Blissfields Marketing Information
Memorandums. These marketing documents were circulated to interested
investors. Interested parties have since contacted the plaintiffs to inform them that
after having made direct enquiries to Blissfield representatives, they say that they
were left feeling most unwelcome and further felt that they had been quite
seriously ʻput offʼ the idea of investing in Blissfields and that the plaintiffs should
question the loyalty of their advisors and partners. See exhibit V2.2

12.! Bird and WBM and Moore of Fredericton Appraisals were the named
contacts on all Blissfields Marketing Information Memorandums for a period of
three (3) years, prior to and during lodge and fishing water acquisition and
development.

13.! The Fredericton Appraisals valuation dated 27th June 2013 of $525k did
not take account of, or reflect the $1.25m invested from the RBC loan, or the
$500k of private funding, that had been invested in the property and business
since the earlier valuation in January 2012, of $4.6m by Fredericton Appraisals
appraiser Joel LaPointe (LaPointe hereafter). La Pointeʼs valuation of June 2013
appeared to have no monetary value on a number of parcels of land and fishing
rights that formed part of their valuation report.

14.! Over the previous 7 years the plaintiffs had been acquiring river frontage
property and fishing rights along the Main Southwest Miramichi River. Moore and/
or LaPointe of Fredericton Appraisals carried out no less than 5 commercial
valuations . See exhibits W2.1,2,3,4.

15.! The plaintiffs are concerned as to why the court lifted an injunction, that had
not been given out lightly in the frirst instance. The plaintiffs were at risk of serious
financial losses. RBC had a great deal of comfort in the form of both personal and
Federal Government guarantees. The figures presented at the hearing just did not

Page 6 of 27
stack up. The plaintiffs are concerened that the court was made aware of
information that was withheld by counsel during the hearing. See exhibit A2.2

The Facts
16.! On 1st August 2011, after one of the best Atlantic fishing seasons that New
Brunswick has experienced for over 50 years, Paul and Charlotte Michaels
provided a collateral mortgage and personal guarantees as security to the RBC in
return for a $1.25m commercial 10 year loan to construct a World Class fishing
lodge on the Main Southwest Miramichi River. See exhibits E2.1 - E2.9

17.! RBC took an assignment of security over the Michaels properties which
were held in a property holding Corporation called Blissfield Sporting Camps
Limited. The property had an associated business with goodwill, business tools
and trading arm which were operated as The Old River Lodge Inc. Both
Corporations were registered in New Brunswick. See exhibits B2.1 - B2.6

18.! $500k of the loan was guaranteed by the Federal Governmentʼs Small
Business Finance Loan, with the objective of generating sustainable employment
within rural or poorly diversified economic communities. See exhibit E2.4.

19.! The Michaels offered their properties and personal guarantees in “Good
Faith” after reading the Banking code of conduct for small business, and on the
basis they felt confident in the RBCʼs protocols and commitment to support
SMEʼS. The plaintiffs did verily believe that the RBC was an upstanding high
street lender of integrity and that they had fully understood and bought in to their
long term business Plan. See exhibits F2.1, F2.2

20.! RBC knew the fishing industry and itʼs associated risks well. The plaintiffs
solicited RBC from 2007 to 2011, with their detailed business plan to build a high
end fishing lodge on the Miramichi in order to attract high paying sports from the
UK. See exhibits C2.1, C2.2

Page 7 of 27
21.! The funds received under the terms of the RBC mortgage, were spent
entirely on matters pertaining to the development of the lodges, materials, labour,
professional fees, loan repayments charges and interest and business expenses.

22.! Against all odds during the winter months of Sept 2011 to April 2012, and
working in temperatures up to minus 38 degrees, the plaintiffs constructed a
turnkey business, comprising some of the finest atlantic salmon fishing lodges
ever built on the Miramichi. See exhibit B2.6

23.! The aquisition and build cost of the lodge, services and fit out alone
exceeded $1.75m. This included the construction of a fully engineered sealed and
pumped septic system designed to protect the Main Southwest Miramichi and itʼs
fish from any potential sewerage spill. This spetic system designed by the Plaintiff
and Engineering technologies and installed by Gallant septic sytems, cost nearly
$200k on its own.

24.! The $1.25m plus $500k of private investment from New Brunswick locals
and corporations, was used entirely in relation to development of the properties,
additional pool options, and loans and interest payments related thereto. RBC
were aware of this as they controlled the construction invoices under the SBFL
agreement.

25.! The lodge had a very successful opening, exceeding booking expectations
during the first 4 weeks - in fact they were full. However, the opening of The Old
River Lodge in June 2012 coincided with one of the worst droughts in Atlantic
Canada for the last 100 years; a “Force Majeure”. This affected the river levels
and water temperatures on many of the New Brunswick rivers. These drought
conditions threatened the survival of the resident salmon that had entered the
river system earlier in the year when the river temperatures were cold. As a
consequence many rivers including the Miramichi were closed, or unsuitable for

Page 8 of 27
fishing, for approximately 8 weeks; mid July to begining of September (the main
income period for the lodge). See exhibit D2.5

26.! Blissfields had healthy bookings for a brand new lodge, well into the fall of
2012 and some for 2013. Due to the difficult fishing conditions in their opening
year of 2012, pre-booked clients cancelled their 2012 fishing trips. In order to
retain good will and honourable name within the industry, Blissfields took the
decision to honour their chosen weeks if they re-booked for 2013. See exhibit
V2.10

27.! As a direct result of the river closures and cancelled confirmed bookings as
well as potential new forward bookings, Blissfields ran into short term cash flow
difficulties. Blissfields kept the bank abreast of the situation at all times and
advised them that in October 2012 their funds would run out. RBC agreed to
request 12 month principal and interest relief from the Government guaranteed
loan and structure the other loans to interest only for a further 12 months allowing
the plaintiffs time to ʻhave a betterʼ year of fishing and committed to show-case the
lodge to private investors. See exhibits G2.2, 3, 9

28.! In line with their obligation to cover cost overuns, the Michaels used their
personal funds to meet the Blissfields costs for much of the 2012 summer. They
had even remortgaged another personal property to generate working capital for
Blissfields. In October 2012 the Michaels experienced a change in personal and
financial circumstances which compounded their financial difficulties. See exhibit
E2.14.

!
29.! On the 18th January 2013 Blissfields received notification from their Bank
Manager Stephen Banks, that their file had been handed across from RBCʼs
Queen Street branch in Fredericton, New Brunswick, to Ross Backman (Backman
hereafter) at the Special Loans Advisory Service (SLAS hereafter) in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. On the 18th January 2013, there were interest loan repayments of
approximately $6k due. Steven Banks informed Michaels that the discussions that
he had with SLAS and Backman were positive and that the move of the file would

Page 9 of 27
be good for Blissfields as Backman could authorise payment to creditors essential
to the continuance of the business. See exhibit G2.10

30.! On the 29th of January 2013, Backman issued the plaintiffs demands for
payment (just 11 days after transferring the file.) The demands were sent to 5
different addresses but not the registered address of the Company which was our
lawyers address: Whitehead Bird and Miles 111 Main Street Fredericton. Some of
the letters were sent to addresses in the United Kingdom where the pliantiffs staff
and customers opened them. The information contained has caused the plaintiffsʼ
businesses measurable financial losses, due to their banks and clients lossing
faith in their ability to stay in business. It is these financial losses that have limited
the Michaelsʼ ability to honour their agreement to cover all cost overuns. Attached
hereto and marked as exhibit H2.1

31.! Had RBC served the demand at WBM offices, Bird would have insisted on
securing a forebearence period, to enable Blissfields to trade during the
showcasing to investors. See exhibit I2.1

32.! RBC instigated demands and then moved the goalposts making it
impossible for the plaintiffs to have any control or influence on the banks chosen
path...Receivership. See exhibit H210

33.! The amounts quoted by RBC as owing under the term of the loan were
disputed by Blissfields and Michaels. RBC later confirmed that the figures were
indeed incorrect, as the bank had mistakingly calculated, accrued and charged
ʻprincipleʼ and interest. The plaintiffs were led to believe that originally twelve
month interest only terms had been agreed with Blissfields. See exhibit G2.4

34.! Between 20th February and 30th April 2013, the plaintiffs met in person
with RBC, and communicated by telephone and email with RBC in order to
provide RBC with solutions to their demands as they arose. RBC refused to
acknowledge the plaintiffs efforts or engage in discussions or ideas that in

Page 10 of 27
Blissfields opinion offered a commercially viable plan to their cash flow issues.
See exhibit H2.14

35.! The bank foreclosed on Blissfields on the 30th April 2013. They employed
the services of Ernst & Young on a private basis to market and sell the Blissfield
assets. E&Yʼs 17th July 2013 deadline for bids past without event.

36.! At the point that RBC ʻofficiallyʼ appointed the receiver, Blissfields estimate
the actual amount owing under the terms of the RBC loans was less than CAD
$20k. The Federal Government had a guarantee in place covering CAD$500k,
excluding further personal asset backed guarantees provided by the Michaels.

37.! In short, RBC were fully secured and protected, and could have covered
the interest payments for up to 3 years with the guarantees in place. Instead, the
court heard that they chose to foreclose on the business and have since accrued
costs in excess of $200k during the receivership process. This decision was not
just a bad commercial decision but has lost/jeopardized the plaintiffs investment
equity and business, and has also lost RBCʼs shareholders funds. See exhibit
Z2.1

38.! The decision and way that the process was executed has also had an
impact on the Michaelsʼ UK financial standing as well as causing unnecessary
mental and physical stress during Mrs Michaelsʼ pregnancy and birth of their first
child in July 2013.

39.! Whilst the plaintiffs accept when RBC issued the demand letters, there
were some overdue loan repayments, the amount actually owing to RBC was
approximately $6k (0.5%) of the loan value. See exhibit H2.2

Page 11 of 27
40.! It is the plaintiffs understanding that E&Y called best bids under the
disclosure of a heavily depressed valuation by FA of $525k which the plaintiffs
have called into question. See exhibit W2.4

41.! RBC referenced only issues with the BSCL account. They closed the BSCL
bank account, but importantly they also closed ʻThe Old River Lodgeʼ trading
business bank account. This made it impossible for either corporations to trade, or
repay or make any contribution to any overdue amounts or meet monthly
payments. RBC also closed the plaintiffsʼ personal bank account. The bankʼs own
actions made it impossible for the plaintiffs or any Canadian private investor, to
inject working capital into Blissfields bank accounts.

42.! Had the plaintiffsʼ business been allowed to continue to trade, they could
have continued to showcase to potential investors, and the plaintiffs would have
been able to raise private funding to repay the bank. This point was not
questioned by the court. See exhibit P2.1

43.! Further, the court heard that the plaintiffs had been able to raise CAD $28k
from Phoenix Wood Products (PWP hereafter), which was immediately deposited
into WBM intrust account on 26th April 2013. This would have covered the loan
interest payments that were confirmed as ʻactuallyʼ being in default, and bought
the plaintiffs enough time to trade and showcase the lodge to investors without
any devaluation process being required. RBC confiscated this money and gave it
to E&Y. The investor capital from PWP along with profit from any trading
revenues, would have kept the lodge in business throughout the summer of 2013.
2013 river levels were good all year. This would have ensured that Blissfields
would see 2013 booking deposits trickle through from the fall of 2013, and the
company would have been back on its feet by the summer of 2014. See exhibits
M2.1 showing funds deposited, and taken by RBC and given to the receiver, after
RBC stated they they could NOT take even one months payment of arrears?

44.! Investors stated that they would not invest monies in Blissfields in case
RBC snatched their funds. One example of this is when on 25 July 2013 Mr

Page 12 of 27
Richard Mellish transferred CAD$250k to WBM trust account. After learning that
RBC had previously closed Blissfields accounts and confiscated tens of thousands
of dollars, and after speaking with Charlie Bird, Mellish demanded that the funds
were returned to him in the United States. See exhibit H2.2

45.! RBCʼs decision to foreclose came at the same time the plaintiffs secured
interim finance from PWP, who had substantial sums of monies, deposited with
RBC in a GIC security account. See exhibit H2.6, 7, 8

46.! RBC made no effort to consider any of the plaintiffs proposals throughout
the process. This strongly suggests that RBC had their own agenda and
absolutely NO intention to consider alternatives. See exhibit H2.14

47.! The E&Y process used FA post development valuation to secure bids. This
valuation was NOT the basis on which the plaintiffs put up their equity as security
for the bank loan. See exhibit W2.3 & W2.4

48.! E&Y & RBC had a duty to act in a reasonable and commercial manor. They
did not appear to have done so. See exhibit K2.1

49.! Blissfields properties were valued by FA in March 2011 at CAD $4.4m. This
was prior to any development. The property is considered to be a Prime Site on
the banks of the Main Southwest Miramichi River in Blissfield, New Brunswick.
Since FAʼs March 2011 valuation, Blissfields has benefited from a substantial CAD
$1.25m investment in development, which was funded with the RBC loan.
Blissfields secured an additional CAD$500k of private equity investment from New
Brunswick Corporations, Springhill Construction Limited, Phoenix Wood Products
Limited, and private individuals. These investors would not have invested in this
project, had they believed that RBC would make such a u-turn on Blissfields. See
exhibit E2.1 - E2.17

Page 13 of 27
50.! The plaintiffs repudiate LaPointeʼs valuation of Blissfields assets dated 27th
July 2013 of CAD $525k, which was carried out under instruction of Ernst &
Young.
See exhibit W2.4

51.! In April 2013 The RBC appointed George Kinsman of E&Y as the receiver
for Blissfields Sporting Camps Limited. See exhibit J2.2

52.! E&Y closed the fishing lodge in early May 2013 for the entire 2013 fishing
season and refused to operate or let the principle owners ( by % investment
against $ value) operate the lodge for profit and/or to show-case the lodge whilst
operational, to intended investors. RBC and E&Y demanded that the confirmed
2013 bookings were notified and cancelled. Blissfieldsʼ creditors chose to honour
the bookings by means of using another lodge on the Miramichi at a further cost to
them. Bird communicated to Darrell Stephenson of Stewart McKelvey, Blissfields
offer to use the funds from 2013 bookings to guarantee RBC a $60k payment.
See exhibit K2.1

53.! Since the beginning of May 2013 E&Y are alleged to have undertaken a
Private Sales campaign with the sole aim to dispose of the assets and securities
secured by means of a 1st charge and general security agreement between Paul
& Charlotte Michaels and the RBC. See exhibits E2.1 - E2.17

54.! When the E&Y process did not secure a buyer the RBC could have
engaged in discussions with the plaintiffs. They did not do so. See exhibit N2.1

55.! RBCʼs agent, E&Y had a duty to achieve the best possible sale price, for
the assets. This could not be achieved with a closed lodge as most of the value of
the property is derived from the ability to be able to catch Atlantic Salmon whilst
residing at the Lodge; the ʻReal Propertyʼ value as outlined in our business plan.

Page 14 of 27
FAʼs most recent valuation dated June 2013 took NO account of $2m investment
by the plaintiffs and other creditors, or the lodgeʼs and businessʼs ability to operate
high end business for profit.

56." After a six month process it is alleged that the RBC and E&Y have accepted
a best bid offer of CAD $460k (approximately one tenth of the appraised values by
Fredericton Appraisals in Jan 2012 & Global Sporting Advisors in April 2013). This
process has been operated and concluded under advice by RBC's legal counsel,
Stewart McKelvey. See exhibit Y2.1

Intent
57." The plaintiffs do verily belive that RBC had no intention of assisting with the
rescue of BSCL for the following reasons:

58." RBC did not undertake a valuation of BSCL assetʼs prior to issuing demand
notices or foreclosing.

59." RBC issued an authority to issue the Demand letter only 11 days after
moving our account to SLAS. NOT 20th February as RBC advised in their
statement. See exhibits G2.10, H2.1, I2.1, J2.3, K2.1

60." RBC stated both verbally and in an email that they would stay with the
plaintiffs until they secured other investors. They did not do so. See exhibit
H2.14

61." At the time RBC foreclosed, the plaintiffs were approximately $16k behind
in loan payments NOT $63,178.08 as RBC initially stated. See exhibit H2.10

62." The RBC foreclosure incurred costs in excess of $200k. This does not
appear to be ʻbest useʼ of the Small Business Finance Loan Guarantee. How
could this be considered to demonstrate ʻGood Faith”? The process was

Page 15 of 27
unbalanced and flawed from the outset and was not a sound commercial decision
for the shareholders of the bank OR the plaintiffs.

63.! RBCʼs decision to foreclose and sell the lodge took no account of the
plaintiffsʼ investment, business, reputation or equity into account. See exhibits
I2.2, J2.1, N2.1

64.! RBC refused to acknowledge or comment on the common sense benefits of


the Lodge remaining open for business. See exhibit H210 - H2.14

64.! The Federal Government Small Business Finance Loan would have
guaranteed RBCʼs position for a minimum of 2 years, which was more than
enough time to nurse the business back to health and/or secure private funding
partners that could buy out the RBC loan.

66.! The plaintiffs had no contractual obligation to secure outside investors


private or otherwise as part of the contract with RBC. See exhibit E2.15, 16, 17

Ernst & Youngʼs Flawed Process


67.! E&Y confirmed to Blissfields Marketing agent that they had very little or no
local relevant experience with selling a Salmon Lodge. They did not provide
BSCL balance sheets or financials to potential buyers outlining the capital
investment at cost.

68.! E&Y failure to secure a sale of the assets at a fair open market value
distressed both the sale value and caused irreparable harm to the plaintiffsʼ
investment, business and reputation. See exhibits V2.3 to V2.12 inclusive

69.! E&Yʼs instruction of Fredericton Appraisals to value Blissfields assets was


in conflict - It fell far short of the investment and prices paid for other Miramichi
salmon lodges recently sold or broken up to form private member fishing clubs.
Most importantly it was a significant reduction in the valuation (approx. $4m)
undertaken by the same valuer and Corporation, Fredericton Appraisals, and

Page 16 of 27
presented to the RBC to raise the development loan . This demonstrates at the
least a case for professional misconduct and potential to defraud. FAʼs valuation
did not take into account ʻReal Propertyʼ values or proper real estate/
investment values.

70.! ! “Legal Definition of Real Property - all land, structures, firmly


attached and integrated equipment (such as light fixtures or a well pump),
anything growing on the land, and all "interests" in the property which may be the
right to future ownership (remainder), right to occupy for a period of time (tenancy
or life estate) the right to drill for oil, the right to get the property back (a reversion)
if it is no longer used for its current purpose (such as use for a hospital, school or
city hall), use of airspace (condominium) or an easement across ones own or
another's property as used for sporting rights such as hunting or fishing. Real
property should be thought of as a group of rights like a bundle of sticks which can
be divided. It is distinguished from the other type of property, personal property,
which is made up of movable items. “

71.! ! “Legal Definition of Real Estate - Land, buildings, and things


permanently attached to land and buildings. Also called realty and real property.
Real estate is the modern term for land and anything that is permanently affixed to
it. Fixtures include buildings, fences, and things attached to buildings, such as
plumbing, heating, and light fixtures. Property that is not affixed is regarded as
personal property, for example, furniture pictures and draperies are items of
personal property.”

72.! Neither RBC or E&Y questioned Fredericton Appraisalʼs 27th June 2013
valuation, was approximately $4m below the $4.6m valuation dated 13 January
2012 which was relied upon to secure an additional $450k loan. This was the
third and final RBC loan. Further, neither RBC or E&Y sought a second opinion on
the low valuation. See exhibit W2.4.

Page 17 of 27
73.! E&Y used the value of $525k outlined by FA as a marker for bids. This was
never going to achieve or maximise the true commercial potential value of the
lodge.

Whitehead Bird & Miles


74.! Bird of WBM has been the legal counsel for the Michaels, NB631019 inc. &
Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited since 2008, when Stewart McKelvey demanded
payment for work done in connection with the properties subject to this case. The
Michaels business ventures were affected in the global financial crisis, of 2007/8
which meant that they were unable to meet the financial costs of contesting
Stewart Mckelveys claim which was in despute. WBM offered to take a piece of
property as security in return for professional independent legal representation in
the SM case. Bird did not prepare or present any evidence to support the
Michaels case against SM as he was too busy on another major case. WBM
agreed to use their security arrangement to represent the plaintiffs matters
pertaining to but not limited to marketing of the shares in Blissfield model, property
purchase and sale agreements, and representation in the recent case against
RBC and others. See exhibit S2.7

75.! When the plaintiffs approached WBM to compose in legal format their
injunction case to support the injunction application in a legal format in October
2013, WBM suggested that they remove the comment about Fredericton
Appraisals being in conflict with their valuation. The question arrises, did Bird and
or anyone at WBM already know that Fredericton Appraisals had valued
Blissfeilds assetsfor Ernst & Young? If they did then they should have declared
this information and conflict prior to preparing the plaintiffs affidavit or evidence, or
representing them in court.

Stewart McKelvey
76.! Darrel Stephenson handled this case. When the plaintiffs were awarded an
injunction by the court the case file was escalated up to the Managing Partner
Catherine Lahey.

Page 18 of 27
77.! Catherine Lahey took the lead in the hearing quoting inappropriate case law
which the plaintiffs suggest was NOT relevant to our case.

78.! Stewart McKelvey have not released information to the plaintiffs or their
counsel as and when requested to do so.

Conflicts
79.! The plaintiffs have repeatedly reported to RBC, and Bird of WBM that SM
are in conflict. They should not have acted or should not act in this case as they
acted as legal counsel for Paul & Charlotte Michaels, specifically in relation to the
properties in question, over a period of 3 years. SM were in consultation with the
RBC leading up to and throughout the mortgage application and approval process
as they had requested part payment of the funds to clear an outstanding debt.
This debt was registered against the said properties which intended to form part
of the assignment of RBCʼs security. Neither SM or WBM diclosed this conflict to
the court, during the hearing. See exhibit X2.1

80.! It is alleged that Ross Backman of the RBC, Josh MacElman son of Fred
McElman of Stewart McKelvey & George Kinsman of E&Y went on fishing trips to
the Eagle River together. see attached letter to Fred McElman at Stewart
McKelvey.

81.! Josh MacElman works for Cox and Palmer law firm, who represent
Springhill Construction Limited one of Blissfields creditors. See exhibit E2.13

82.! Harold Moore founder and former director of Fredericton Appraisals worked
with Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited from the summer of 2008 until May 2012.
Harold Moore & Joel La Pointe underwrote the valuation of CAD$4.6m that was
prepared to secure the CAD$1.25m funding from RBC to develop and fit out the
lodge. See exhibit W2.3

83.! The plaintiffʼs counsel Whitehead Bird and Miles were in clear conflict in
acting on this case. Blissfields will be using the legal system to clarify the legality
of Fredericton Appraisals valuations and their implications.

Page 19 of 27
84.! Stewart McKelvey has a great deal of experience in representation within
the Real estate field, and so would have known that this process was flawed in
advance of its initialization.

85.! As soon as the owners of Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited, were made
aware of the notice of sale scheduled for the 31st October 2013, they immediately
requested details of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, but were repeatedly
refused access to both the details of the intended buyer, and details of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, which would identify the price paid.

86.! Altogether the entire process seemed quite one sided. Whitehead Bird and
Miles made no attempt to use the court to question or halt the receivership or
sales process. As soon as personal and business commitments permitted, Paul
Michaels got the first available flight to New Brunswick to try and prevent the sale
to allow more time to raise money to rescue the lodge. See exhibit Q2.5

87.! On 30th October 2013 Blissfields Sporting Camps was successful in


gaining an order by the courts enjoining RBC and E&Y from selling, transferring,
disposing or dealing with BSCL properties defined in the assignment of security
held by RBC. See exhibit Q2.4

88.! Documentated evidence including emails were provided by the plaintiffs to


WBM to support the application for an extension of the injunction at a hearing on
the 8th November 2013. In the basence of any further information to the contrary,
this evidence attached as “A2” to “Z2”, proves beyond all reasonable doubt that

Page 20 of 27
RBC and E&Y failed in their obligations to expressly contract and operate in and
with "Good Faith". See exhibit Q2.5

89.! The evidence put forward, further brought into question whether these
actions, which could offer personal financial gain to parties outside of the
contracts between RBC and BSCL, were intentional and for financial gains by
deceptive means. Specific comments have been made and file noted by Darlene
Bamford Harold & Sandra Moore and Charlie Bird re the plaintiffs future in New
Brunswick.

90.! If this sale goes ahead, The plaintiffs, BSCL and its creditors, which
includes a leading UK bank owned by the UK government, may be defrauded of
Millions of Dollars. The UK bank has registered a claim against the plaintiffs and
'Others' to cover any losses that may occur due to reasons that are considered
beyond the control of the plaintiffs.

91.! Further, unless informed of the facts, the Canadian Federal Governments
Canadian Small Business Finance loan, stands to pay out a guarantee of $500k,
which will be called upon, based on an 'improvident realization process' that has
harmed both provincial and private investment as well as local job creation
prospects, in a community with much need of economic assistance and
encouragement. See exhibits E2.4, O2.3

Claims, Damages & Losses.


92.! The plaintiffs are asking the court of appeal to consider that RBCʼs
premature actions amounted to an ʻImprovident Foreclosureʼ and that the RBCʼs
conduct is a clear case of 'Tortious Interference' which has caused the plaintiffs
demonstrable and quantifiable ʻIrreparable Harmʼ to their health, business and
reputation. This process has caused Charlotte Michaels an extreme amount of
unnecessary ʼMental Anguish and Anxietyʼ throughout her pregnancy, and
motherhood of her first child.

93.! This so called ʻPrivateʼ sales process has been so publicly executed, that it
has harmed the ability to attract overseas investment and clients for New

Page 21 of 27
Brunswick, especially from its strategic and long standing ally, the United
Kingdom.

94.! The impact from loyal supporters for the plaintiffs on the international
fishing circuit may reverberate for years to come.

95.! RBCʼs actions have triggered the plaintiffsʼ UK Bankers to put their UK
loans into litigation as they are concerned about their ability to ever repay the
loans, secured against UK properties, to raise funds to acquire properties in NB. If
this happens the Michaels shall find it difficult to recover as all their efforts, equity
and investment have been injected into their New Brunswick properties and
businesses. See exhibit A2.2

96.! Personal Guarantees offered by the plaintiffs to support the assignment of


security held by RBC, were offered in Good Faith and were meant to be a two way
and mutual agreement. RBCʼs actions were anything but mutual and breached the
ʻGood Faithʼ in which they were offered. The plaintiffs would NOT have offered the
guarantees had they considered the RBC capable or allowed by law to ignore
their investment and permit a sales process that incurred losses amounting to the
value of the loan and lost the plaintiffs entire investment. The lodges and water
were sold for much much less than the plaintiffs paid for them 5 years ago, prior to
investing a further CAD $1.5m. IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY FURTHER
INFORMATION TO THE CONTRARY, AS THINGS STAND CURRENTLY, THE
PLAINTIFF CONSIDERS THIS TO BE A FRAUDULANT ACT. See exhibit F2.1,
2

97.! It is the plaintiffs position that it was RBC and itʼs advisors actions, and
theirs alone that devalued the plaintiffs investment. RBC under advice from
Stewart McKelvey have now compounded their actions and claims from the
plaintiffs, by submitting a counterclaim for $900k, for the alleged short fall incurred
as a direct result of a commercial loss making scenario that they themselves
caused. Incredibly, RBC never declared any reason for foreclosing on Blissfield
Sporting Camps Limited.
See Global Sporting Advisors Part 1 & 2 valuation in WBM Court Bundle for the
7th November 2013 Hearing. Irving has used GSA For the purchase and sale of
fishing properties in New Brunswick.

Page 22 of 27
98.! Further RBCʼs receiver process resulted in the cancellation of BSCL Aviva
property insurance policy. When they took over the lodge they did not insure all
properties covered under the original policy, and so did not cover insurance on our
personal lodge next door, which formed part of our security. We had vintage
fishing tackle and furniture to the value of $50k stolen from the lodge which was
consequently not insured.

99.! There are demonstrible and quantifiable purchase orders for the $2.5m
construction and aquisition of the Old River Lodge materials and fixtures. This
figure is net of personal investment in time, travel and cost to the plaintiffs for the
7 years of development and management of the assets sold by RBC and its
advisors. See exhibit U2.1, 2, 3

Compensation
100.! All the money in the world will not replace what has taken 7 years to build,
or take away the stress experienced by the Michaels during the birth of their first
child. The plaintiffs therefore seek an order or leave from the court, that enables a
decision that fully represents their interests, and reverses the unlawful sale of the
lodge and the terms thereof.

Fairness & Commercial Reasoning


101 !As Demonstration of the plaintiffs willingness to bring remedy to the
situation
which RBC themselves have caused, the plaintiffs have recruited the highly
respected international mediator Michael Cover to assist them with further
negotiations with the bank. Mr Cover has made contact with the RBC, however
they have refused to engage in any discussion, other than to refer him to Stewart
McKelvey (SM hereafter), whom in turn have refered him to Bird of WBM. It should
be noted that Bird emailed the plaintiffs on 12th November 2013 stating that he
would no longer work on this or any other matter. Bird received authorisation from
the court releasing him from his representation on the 3rd January 2014. See
exhibit S2.1 to S2.7

Page 23 of 27
102.! The plaintiffs reiterate their desire to encourage RBC to reconsider its
actions and re-engage with the plaintiffs on a Without Prejudice Basis, capitalising
on Michael Covers expertise, to achieve mutual and commercially viable terms for
all parties.

The Plaintiffs Plea to the Court


103.! Justice Clendening reached the decision to deny an extension to the
injunction that enjoined the RBC or their advisors from selling, disposing or
dealing with Blissfields assets. It is the plaintiffs position that the resulting decision
was unbalanced, biased and unfair, that the court was in receipt of clear evidence
within the bundle of documents that evidenced a breach in ʻGood Faithʼ and the
potential to defraud the plaintiff. The plaintiff accepts that there was a significant
amount of documentation presented to the court and very little time for the court to
consider the detail contained therein.

104.! The plaintiff does verily believe that the foreclosure of BSCL business may
NOT have been about the viability of the business during the 2012 fishing season.
The plaintiffs are currently investigating these claims. RBC its advisors and WBM
have refused to comment on whether the Michaels Bank in the UK were party to
instigating the receivership process in Canada.

105.! The plaintiffs do verily believe that there were discussions well in advance
of the foreclosure which centered around gaining control of the lodge and its
potential future owners and ensuring that it did not operate during 2013 fishing
season. This was evidenced in court by the insistence by the RBC confiscating
$28k and closing not just Blissfields accounts but The Old River Lodge Trading
account and the Michaelsʼ personal banking account eliminating the possibility to
trade and take deposits from confirmed bookings that could have reduced the
RBCʼs exposure and repaid outstanding interest payments. E&Y and SM advised
the bank NOT to permit the continued operation of the lodge which has caused a
demonstrable amount of hurt to their health, business and reputation. The
Blissfields mortgage sale Particulars dated 30th September 2013, reference the
sale being “pursuant of the Michaels Bank”. The plaintiffs have asked RBC, E&Y,
SM and WBM, whether they have had dealings or directions from the Michaels
bankers in the United Kingdom, that has influenced this process. To date no party
has acknowledged this question. See exhibit N2.1

Page 24 of 27
106.! The above facts can be evidenced both by the documents presented and
considered by Justice Clendening, and those that were not submitted to the court,
against the wishes of the plaintiffs. See exhibit Q2.2

107.! As a matter of record on this date the Claim against RBC and RBCʼs
counterclaim has not been dealt with. See exhibit Q2.3

108.! The plaintiff (Michaels) was only asked to sign the WBM court bundle when
he arrived in court at 2pm on the 7th October 2013. At the start of the hearing Ken
Allen of WBM, advised Michaels that last minute changes were made to the
plaintiffs evidence and bundle and that Michaels needed to sign the new
documents. Although Michaels did not have any time to read the documents he
does verily believe that changes were made. Seven (7) days was not enough time
for either party to compile and submit affidavits and evidence worthy of the severe
nature of losses to all parties, hence the late submission. One day was not
enough time to read and understand the court bundles from WBM on behalf of the
plaintiff. More time was required for the court to read and digest all the
information, in order to make a decision that was fair and just. See exhibit Q2.1

109.! The plaintiff believes that if the law is applied to the facts as presented in
full, that it should bring the court to the conclusion and decison that that they seek
which is to find that the RBC has acted prematurley and in doing so has casued a
wonderful property and viable business commercial harm, and that the RBCʼs
actions have been allowed under private sale rules to progress unchallenged,
which has caused the plaintiffs personal and commercial irreprable harm. The
refusal to ʻengageʼ with any plan that the plaintiff put to the bank in order to reach
a solution that worked for both parties, and the timing of this process during the
pregnancy of one of the owners, Mrs Michaels, must surely be considered as
Tortious Interference, and the bank should bear the majority of any financial
shortfall that will materialize from this improvident sales process.

110.! Therefore, it is with the greatest of respect and in the name of Justice, the
plaintiffs urge the court to further consider the case heard by Justice Clendening,
in the New Brunswick Law Courts, Queen Street Fredericton and review the
subsequent decision.

Page 25 of 27
111.! Paul Michaels has filed a Notice of Intention to act in person on behalf of
the Corporation and is awaiting the courts authorisation to do so. See exhibit
S2.2 S2.3

112.! The plaintiff is mindful that it is very difficult to value or put a price on seven
years of investment, traveling time and labour that it took to build New Brunswickʼs
flag ship Fishing and Hunting lodge. It is therefore a priority that they regain
control of the lodge at the cost of the RBC. The plaintiff will then reopen the lodge
for business as soon as possible. See exhibit V2.1 - V2.12

113. The plaintiff would like the court to acknowledge that it was not their desire to
bring any unnecessary claims or bad publicity to any party involved in this
process. The plaintiffs offered RBC, guarantees, properties, security agreements,
and consent orders in good faith without any preconceived expectation other than
a fair and reasonable opportunity to prove their business model would work. It is
the plaintiffs opinion that their efforts have been watched over for some time by a
party ultimately interested in owning or selling them on for a higher profit.
Michaels was recently told by a party that wishes to remain anonymous, that the
reason that the receivership process was instructed was because the bank
believed that Michaels would not sell. The plaintiffs question any corporation to
take away the right and ability for a business to operate and market as per the
business plan that the RBC loaned against and took securities, in the first place.
See exhibits D2.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

114.! The plaintiffsʼ position is that they are requesting leave to appeal the
decision to lift the injunction and permit them time to properly prepare their
evidence in order that a more equitable decision may be reached.

115.! The plaintiffs find themselves in the extraordinary position of having to


represent themselves in the appeal process. This is due to all lawyers duly
authorised to act in New Brunswick, that have been approached to represent the
plaintiffs case, having cited ʻdisclosed or undisclosed conflict of interestʼ. The
plaintiff applies for leave to appeal from an interlocutory order or decision. The
plaintiff will apply in the alternative for an extension of time to issue and serve a
Notice of Appeal in the event that the Judge hearing the motion rules that the
order (or decision) is not interlocutory.

Overdraft Facility

The Bank is pleased to offer an overdraft facility to the undernoted Borrower(s) on the following terms
and conditions ("this Offer"):

1. Main Financial Provisions

1.1. Name and Address of each Borrower: Mr Paul Michaels & Mrs Charlotte S Michaels
Low New Biggin House
Aislaby
Whitby Y021 ITQ

Where there is more than one Borrower any reference to 'the Borrower' shall mean and
include each of the above and their obligations under this facility shall be joint and
several. This means, for example, that the Bank can claim repayment of the amount
outstanding from either or both Borrowers. For further detail on other conditions which
apply where there is more than one Borrower reference should be made to the 'What
happens if your account is in joint names' section of the Flexible Current Account
Conditions. A copy of the Flexible Current Account Conditions is enclosed.

1.2. Overdraft limit: £1,200,000

1.3. An Arrangement Fee of £16,000 is payable on acceptance of this Offer. Bank charges in
relation to the facility will also be payable in accordance with the Bank's Price List. A
copy of the up to date Price List is enclosed.

1.4. The expression "the Cleared Debit Balance" is used in the following paragraphs. It
means, at any time, the amount due to the Bank by the Borrower on any applicable
account, ignoring any payments which are not "cleared funds". The expression "cleared
funds" means payments into an applicable account but not including cash and cheques
until they would earn interest were the Bank to pay the Borrower interest on a credit
balance as set out in the Flexible Current Account Conditions

1.5. All overdrafts are repayable on demand, so the Borrower must immediately pay the Bank
the Cleared Debit Balance on the Borrower's account (plus interest and charges accrued
but not yet added and the value of any cheque payment where the Bank has not yet

(c) where the Borrower fails to comply with any undertaking or obligation given by
or owed by the Borrower to the Bank or any other member of the HBOS Group;
or

(d) where any diligence, distress, execution, sequestration or other legal process is

(g) where the Borrower's financial condition has worsened in some other material
way; or

(h) where the facility was agreed on the basis of incorrect or incomplete information

Dear Paul

I am writing to confirm that I would be delighted to work with you and


Charlotte to expand the CC offering. Over the last 2 years I have got to know
you both, very well, and I am impressed with your dedication, professionalism
and more importantly your tenacity, when presented with seemingly
insurmountable barriers, in connection with your various projects.

You have discussed, in outline, your plans for the Informa business and I fully
support those plans and feel sure that if you are given the opportunity to
tender, that your “out of the box” model will offer the most compelling
business case. We have discussed the likely ROI required, for any funding,
to build the infrastructure, to service the account, and you believe (based on
the information provided so far) that the level of return I, or any funding
syndicate, I put together, can be easily met. This will obviously need
confirming once tender documentation is released.

As you are aware, I do have considerable experience in funding, mentoring


and developing & successfully exiting SME’s and this has always been
predicated on backing, strong, industry experienced, management teams,
who think differently from the incumbents.

Please do let me know if you would like me to attend a further meeting to


discuss your plans in greater detail.

Kind regards

Since Septemeber 2006 Paul & Charlotte Michaels have made some long term investments in
Atlantic Fishing properties on the Mian Southwest New Brunswick Canada, amounting to approx
CAD$2.5m

repay some debt, Paul & Charlotte have been working tirelessly and without pause to restructure
their personal and commercial investments. They have the support of a very experienced and senior,
proffesional team of advisors on hand to execute their plans to sell shares in their Salmon fishing

£1.954m as per BBC Market data currency exchange rate of 1.52 CAD$ to the UK£, at 11.30am
12th May 2010.
To protect the Bank of Scotland’s potential financial exposure with Paul & Charlotte Michaels, Paul

the bank can either chose to keep its share option held as security or surrender it to BSC for sale.

Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Yours truly, WHITEHEAD, BIRD, MILES & BURKE

Charles Bird

SITUATION
Low Newbiggin lies at the lower reaches of the stunning Esk valley. The estate is situated
to the southwest of Whitby which offers a complete range of shopping and leisure
facilities. There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby including, Whitby Links
course at Sandsend and the highly acclaimed Ganton course near Scarborough. Yorkshire
is famous for its course fishing, as well as game fishing. Scuba diving off the Yorkshire
coast in the summertime offers possibly the most rewarding wreck diving in the world.
Many wrecks from 2 world wars are now home to huge shoals of fish which means that
the sea fishing can also be plentiful. The golden sandy beaches along the northeast coast
stretch for miles. There are some excellent walks along the Jurassic coastline and across
the Moors. The Minster City of York offers excellent fast rail connections to Scotland, the
south of England and European Cities. The great Roman City wall still stands some 2000
years after it was built. York has world class shopping, amenities, arts, and entertainment.

HERRING SEASON - WHITBY

HISTORY
The main part of Low Newbiggin House dates back to around 1750. It was constructed
on land owned by the Yeoman family who were wealthy local landowners and farmers.
Whitby was a thriving whaling and fishing port, white fish and shellfish are landed from
all over the North Sea still today. Over the hill from Whitby, deeper into the countryside,
trade in wool, livestock, potash, and alum used in dying textiles were drivers of the local
economy. Low Newbiggin Estate still bears evidence of the rail cart siding used to
transfer the alum from the mine high up on Blue Scar across the River Esk to the steam
railway line. Whitby is famous for its connections with Captain James Cook and Bram
Stokers’ Dracula. In more recent times the area’s untouched natural beauty has been used
as film sets for the hit TV series Heartbeat and the blockbuster film Harry Potter.

18th Century Low Newbiggin was a dairy farm and has many years of history linked to
the seaman and explorer Captain James Cook who sailed from Whitby and discovered
Australia. A eucalyptus tree in the back garden of the house has genetic links to seeds
brought back from Australia on Cook’s first voyages.

Over the years Low Newbiggin has changed from a farmhouse and working farm to an
equestrian farm and more recently a residence offering holiday cottages for discerning
guests seeking a tranquil hideaway whilst visiting the North York Moors and Coast.

roof is again of a traditional terracotta pantile construction. The Estate has a strong
French feel in its stance and situation. Every property has panoramic views of the Esk
Valley. The views from the upper floors of the main House give you a feeling of space
and privacy as the eye denotes Blue Scar and Moorland beyond, as the natural eastern
boundary of the Estate.

The House has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. Materials providing the
highest insulation values have been used in the main roof of the house and the external
walls are two feet thick, so it is relatively inexpensive to heat.

LAND AND GARDENS
The land lies within a ring fence around the centrally placed homestead. The tree-lined
avenue provides a wonderful entrance to the property bordered by paddocks and riverside
meadow. There are good paddocks to each side of the house adjoining the well
established gardens incorporating rose beds, mature shrubberies, cedar trees and
eucalyptus within high hedges providing privacy. The garden slopes down towards the
ancient listed orchard with mixed mature fruit trees including a huge walnut tree. To the
north of the buildings there is a maintained grass area with established copper beech
trees, a large mature oak tree with feature seat bench and an attractive ornamental pond.
The land to the west of the house and north of the railway line has been planted under a
Woodland Grant Scheme with a mixture of mainly hardwood species enhanced by
existing parkland oaks and protected by deer fencing.

RAILWAY
The single track railway line is used as an extension of the North York Moors Steam
Railway which runs from Grosmont to the historic market town of Pickering. It is
possible to see various old steam trains puffing along the Esk Valley railway through the
grounds of the estate as they head via Sleights to and from Whitby where they wait for
one hour before returning.

The Old River Lodge
Canadian Atlantic Salmon Fishing
Come celebrate
Generations of sports have fished for the great Atlantic salmon on
the famous Miramichi River. The magnificent Miramichi River, flows
gently through breathtaking Pine & Maple forests of eastern
Canada’s New Brunswick province. It is simply an Atlantic salmon-
fisherman’s paradise and one of the World’s best-kept secrets. The
Miramichi offers perfect fly only water, and provides around half of
all the salmon caught annually on rod and line, on the North
American Continent. Fresh, mint bright salmon arrive in the
Miramichi in mid June with increasing numbers of classic summer
salmon by end of July lying in clean, gravel-bottomed pools, over
hundreds of miles of this immense river system.

This seasonal silvery migration continues through August with new


salmon and grilse arriving as if by magic with each refreshing
summer rain or big tide. Fishing can be difficult in August due to low
warm water conditions. A fresh dollop of rain in August can provide
can lead to an excellent window of fishing. During August and early
September, for long distance travelers, we strongly recommend
booking on spec and upon confirmation that fish are being caught . September brings the fall run which lasts until mid
October. Fishing at this time can be likened to that of fishing the Tweed at the back end of the season. Salmon tinted
with bronze stir in every pool with the coming of November spawning. The pools are brilliantly colored by changing fall
foliage. The sun is lower. Mornings are cool.

What to bring
The Miramichi has good, easy wading and fishing is often at close range, therefore, an 8½ to 9½ foot single-handed rod
matched with a number 8-9 weight forward or double taper line is ideal and the local choice. Deeply fished wet lines
are appropriate in extreme in high water conditions or late in the season when the water is exceptionally cold and
fish are sluggish. Load your fly line on a large arbour, sturdy fly reel with at least 100 yards of braided nylon backing.
Spey casting is becoming more popular on the Miramichi.

Polarized lens sunglasses are a must, a hat, raingear, extra leader material, insect repellent (be awre that strong deet
based repellents destroy your apparel as well as your fishing lines). We find Breathable waders for summer and
Neoprene waders for late fall, both with comfortably fitting felt-bottomed wading shoes. Bring a camera and or video
cam to capture those special moments of your trip.

Where
The Old River Lodge, is a range traditional log cabins, located in a
secluded setting and surrounded by beautiful birch and maple trees.
Perched on a hillside on the bank of the Main Southwest Miramichi
river this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. We are only five
miles down river from the village of Doaktown, and fifty miles from
Fredericton, the capital City of New Brunswick. When you stay at
The Old River Lodge, you can expect a combination of good water,
good guides and good food, ensuring you have a memorable Atlantic
salmon fishing experience. A salmon river's middle reaches are often
said to be it's most productive for angling. Our many privately
owned pools offer exclusive uncrowded fishing. and . The main
lodge, has a communal dining and lounge area, centered around a
stone fireplace. The four private cabins consist of 2 bedrooms with
ensuite shower rooms.You will be treated to delicious traditional
Canadian home cooking, ensuring that you are well prepared for
your next fishing session. For those with special dietary needs or
preferences please advise us at the point of booking. We will do our
very best to meet your requirements.
The Catch
It is New Brunswick Law that all non
resident anglers must be accompanied by a
certified guide when fishing in New
Brunswick's rivers. Our well seasoned
Atlantic salmon guides will be at your
service to help you maximise your catch. All
of our guides at The Old River Lodge are
experienced professionals with one aim: “To
help you catch your salmon”. Our guides are
knowledgeable in fly selection, knots and
casting. Their knowledge of the water you’ll
be fishing is second to none.Your guide is
himself an enthusiastic angler. New
Brunswick provincial regulations require that all non-resident salmon anglers fish with a licensed guide. Although these
regulations allow three guests per guide, at The Old River Lodge, we will do our best to provide a high quality angling
experience by matching a guide with no more than two anglers. Should you for any reason wish to benefit from the
personal attention of your own guide, or wish to fish from a canoe, we would be pleased to provide that service. By
law, only one person can fish from a boat at any time. In high water conditions, it may be necessary to fish from a boat,
in order to intercept the running fish. Please note that There is an additional supplementary charge for this service.

For the Non Fisher


We are pleased to offer exciting non-fishing activities for our guests including canoe excursions, guided or unguided
day trips to cultural, historic or natural attractions, visits to the studios of world-class craftsperson’s and artisans. In
season, fall foliage can be experienced by walking, canoeing or driving. We can provide an exciting vacation for our
non-fishing guests in the outdoors or touring, complete with a guide and vehicle or by providing you with a detailed
itinerary for one day or overnight trips. We are at your service to prepare enjoyable days of activity.

Fall Shooting
We are pleased to offer wing shooting for upland game birds including woodcock snipe and ruffled grouse. Both grouse
and woodcock shooting is best in October.

Our Pledge
The Old River Lodge offers you a personal guarantee on all the service aspects of our business, which we pledge to be
of the highest caliber. Because of the unpredictable nature of fishing and shooting, however, we cannot offer a
guarantee of success. We hope all our guests will come equipped with a generous, sportsmanlike attitude. We, in turn,
promise you the very best in old-fashioned Miramichi hospitality and service. We assure you that we will do everything
possible to ensure your chances of a successful fishing or shooting trip.

Thanks Paul. The camps look pretty impressive. They will be real
jewels overlooking the Miramichi.

The attached price quotes only give me a partial picture of the


financial requirements of the project.

The attached doesn't include transportation, set up, applicable taxes,


interior fixtures (bathroom, kitchen, lighting, etc.). It also doesn't
include the details of the payment terms. How much, if any, is needed
up front? How much when they are ready for shipment and how much when
they are on site and assembled? What would this timeline look like?

I'd need a proposed budget for the project. What will the final costs
be and how do you propose the funding sources and timing to be?

Is the share prospectus progressing well? You were going to forward a


copy of this when completed.

To Whom It May Concern:

I fished the Miramichi for the first time last July in the Blackville area and
had some difficulties. Unfortunately, there was exceptional high water for
the time of year and although fish were running through they were not in a
taking mood. I only secured one fish for the week, which was very
disappointing.

However at another lodge about 20 miles upstream, it was easier to fish in


the conditions that prevailed although the catch rate did not increase greatly.

The accommodation at this lodge although adequate could be much


improved with en - suite toilets, drying areas for wet clothing, good
insulation from insects, comfortable saloon and dining areas combined with
a modern kitchen. I think the average angler would like to see a concept
based on a Canadian style log cabin, built in local timbers and with interiors
of a very high standard in terms of finishings. A building in sympathy with
the wonderful surroundings is what is needed.

In the event of high water conditions, it is important that the lodge is also
provided with additional canoes and guides, when it is necessary to reach
those areas where fish are running and where it is too far to cast from the
bank. It is no good having guides who are not fishermen and who are not
familiar with that stretch of water.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS!

Private club of 6 fractional shareholders operating an all year round serviced


accommodation and Guide Service located on the Main Southwest Miramichi River
at Blissfield 5 miles downstream of Doaktown. A range of Camps with river views
offering flexible accommodation on a fully serviced or Self-Catering basis.The
camps are for use with owned and leased pools over approximately 100 miles of
the Miramichi

Tailor-made fishing and shooting experiences will be provided and will be supported
by local guides.

The operation will be used by ultimately 6 shareholders which will benefit from the
tangible and intangible benefits of owning an Salmon fishing operation on the
worlds most prolific Atlantic Salmon River

MAJOR DEMOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FACTORS

2011 is a great opportunity for Atlantic Canada to sell itself to the International
fishing and Sports community in recent times. The recent Levies introduced by
global governments aimed at reducing Carbon emissions, have left only the
keenest and wealthiest Sports looking to travel to fish. There is a slowdown in the
US leisure market due to uncertainties arising from the sub-prime lending markets.
The European, middle East and Asian Market is cash rich at the moment. In the
short to medium terms these continents look well placed to weather any storm in
the current financial climate. Our owners will target these markets for profit both in
commercial transactions and for sports to fill any spare places on their owner
weeks.

Given its recent rod catches and fish returns, the Miramichi is fast becoming the
Worlds Premier Atlantic Salmon fishing River. Coupled with fantastic value for
money and Itʼs proximity to Europe The Miramichi River is proud to assume its
rightful role, as the New kid on the block, for a Destination Atlantic Salmon fishing
trip.....of a lifetime!

MAJOR PLAYERS (suppliers, distributors, clients)

• NB Government
• IRVING
• BDC Bank
• Local Guides
• Paul & Charlotte Michaels
• UK Business contacts
• UK Sports contacts
• Trout & Salmon
• Other Industry Magazines
• International Salmon fishing organisations
• Atlantic Salmon Federation
• Miramichi Salmon Association
• North Atlantic Salmon Federation
• Atlantic Salmon Museum

NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY

Atlantic salmon, Sea run brook, brown trout and shade fishing and property.

• Other regional leisure activities include


• Game shooting (closely related for marketing purposes)
• Wildlife watching
• Sightseeing
• Shopping
• Whale watching
• Sea fishing
• Snowmobiling
• Health spas
• Sailing
• Local annual events & fundraisers

Some excellent back end (fall) bird shooting and hunting combined with
fishing...Cast & Blast.

TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY

• Seasonal fishing 15th April to 15th October


• Shooting October to February
• Historic bias of US Sports
• Increasing number of European Sports
• Move to sell off outfitting businesses to private investors limiting access to
pools for General public
• Limited winter sports visitors
• Limited summer tourism business

Spring Salmon fishing (Black Salmon or Keltʼs as they are known in Europe) is the
first Salmon fishing available and draws substantial interest and business
opportunity from 15 April to 15 May. Black Salmon Fishing is not really known by
the Europeans who consider Kelt fishing to be a little bit un PC. Recent marketing
promoting the incredible sport that can be expected from this hard fighting, and
abundant fish has attracted some curiosity and interest in fishing from the UK and
Europe over the last two years. Apart from the wonderful social benefits of
everyone fishing along the entire length of the river without having to be concerned
with boundaries between private & Open water, kelt fishing offers a chance to build
ones confidence for people wishing to hook catch their first salmon.

Bright Salmon fishing (Springerʼs in Europe) varies fro year to year but can start as
early as June 1st and runs until as late as mid August. Generally however the bright
salmon run for an average of 4 weeks the timing of which is dependent on sea
conditions, tidal flow, river levels and river temperatures. The Fall fishing runs from
September 1st to 15th October, and is a little more predicable generally offering
great sport for again 4 weeks from 7th September to the 7th October

There are 12 Prime fishing weeks within the fishing season which longer term
should run at 100% capacity. Indications are that the industry experiences an
average 75% occupancy for an established Camp with fish catch provenance.
Contributing or Influencing factors are, quality and productivity of the private pools
that a camp owns the quality of the camps available, the Amount of direct Marketing
undertaken, the functionality and find-ability of an outfitters website. Good word of
mouth.

The catch success rate seems to have a lesser effect, on the desire to book a
second trip to the Miramichi. The authors own experience however is that a Sport is
less likely to book a third trip if a fishing party has blanked over the previous two.

For the more discerning and experienced Sports, River management and bank side
management is a major contributing, factor for repeat business.The last thing a
sports wants is to puncture a brand new set of expensive waders whilst walking
along the pool, applicable to the water that they are fishing or spend his day
removing a fly from the scrub or small bush/trees.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

• Guide Regulations apply


• Canadian Residents can apply to be a Sports Guide
• Seasonal Residents may apply for guide exemptions
• Non residents/Property owners require guide when fishing/Hunting
• Guides are responsible for ensuring that sports adhere regulations.
• Environmental
• Riverbank management

MARKET SEGMENT

The true Value of the Sports Guiding market is very difficult to determine due to the
spurious records of bookings and income registered by outfitters on the Miramichi.
There is a long history of people working for cash and sports paying cash. T

We worked on 183 fishing days with at least 40 Outfitters hosting an average 10


sports with a potential $500 Canadian per day. Running at a very conservative 50%
capacity, this equates to potential earnings of $18.3 Canadian on the Miramichi.
Add to that the hunting, and other Leisure activities, and the total potential for the
Leisure and Tourism industry is probably about $50m Canadian. This does not
include the spin offs for example support service businesses and food and drink
outlets generating yet further revenue for the local businesses and taxes for the
provincial governments to re-invest in forest protection, Education, and transport
infrastructure.
Blissfield sporting camps are aiming their marketing at the 10% discerning high net
worth individual salmon fisherman and hunters that are prepared to pay a premium.
Aggressive marketing and consistently high well documented fish returns is key to
supporting our story and growing and retaining a profitable client base.

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

Sports guiding to high end clients from Europe. Niche tailor made fishing and
shooting trips. Family private self catering holidays in low season/school holidays.

PRICING AND DISTRIBUTION

In the 2011 we plan to pitch our service price band at a similar level to the well
established and generally highest charging Outfitters. We will then increase our
rates as we reach a sustainable maximum capacity. Any rate increases are specific
to the more popular and productive weeks.

These rates are approximately one third of those of Russian fishing holidays. The
fishing is just as good and sometimes more productive than the Russian rivers.

MARKET TRENDS

The Fishing and shooting market has grown steadily over the last twenty years.
With the increase in Western wealth and the launch of the world wide web, the
world has become a smaller place in travel and marketing terms.

the recent stock market crash has had a huge effect of the volume of people
wishing to travel to premier salmon fishing destinations. New Brunswick stands to
benefit from the downturn in sports traveling to Russia and Iceland where supply
and demand has driven prices up to as high as $20,000 US for a weeks Salmon
fishing.A similar trip should with a cohesive spirit from key NB outfitters attract
sports willing to spend circa £8k-£10k per week.
IMPLICATIONS OR RISK FACTORS

Historically the Colfords have guided for individuals staying at other Camps or for
Outfitters directly.The benefit of offering their own Camps and water, comes with the
financial pressure to get a return on the investment made by Paul & Charlotte
Michaels. The main concern is the initial start up period when bookings may be
slow due to being an unknown quantity as far as outfitting is concerned. The
company has to at least cover the interest payments and overheads to survive the
first year.

Competition is strong on the river so we have focused our initial efforts are
marketing to European markets. The Salmon fishermen are wealthy and keen to try
new destinations and outfitters so are efforts will be focussed on providing a
sustainable and enjoyable operation and experience.

The benefits of our marketing campaign over the last few years is already evident.
There were many sports from Europe in 2008

Before the launch of a google search brought up very little information about the
Miramichi. Now the list of outfitters advertising along the river is huge.

We see 2009 as a year of consolidation A settling in period and opportunity to let


our guests see our waters true potential. We can envisage our investment in buying
property on the river will force our competitions hand into competing for the lease of
pools. Consequently, prices for leases will rise sharply. As young private investors
we have limited resources to pay highly inflated prices long term.

Any river is highly susceptible to environmental changes disasters and fluctuations.


The Miramichi WILL prove to be a victim of its own successes if it is not managed
politically and environmentally with the greatest professional expertise.

Survival at sea of the Atlantic Salmon and fish life that supports it whilst at sea are
instrumental if fish stocks are to hold up in the future. Salsea are monitoring the
Salmon survival rate at sea.

There are strict regulations which property construction and management along the
Miramichi sewerage and treatment management are the main concerns from a river
management point of view.

Because of the geological make up of the river the river bed in the main is fluid and
migrating downstream on a continual and annual basis. A pool that is deep and
fishes well these year may get filled in by an ice jam that deposits a huge volume of
slate mud and rock in periods of seasonal ice flows or heavy water.
Canada is relatively un affected by the global recession, due to its strong natural
resources and limited exposure to sub prime lending. There is also a strong
demand from people wishing to emigrate to Canada. therefore it has a strong
property price index which has been categorised by the market analysts as stable
and sustainable due to its low base line,

PLANNED RESPONSE

It may transpire that we are eligible for some government funding support which
would assist in areas such as staffing and capital purchases for canoes vehicles.

Any further property purchases may be supported by grant funding also.

Where the bookings will be slow in the first year we will utilise the time to landscape
our new camps. We will further invest in the maintenance of the older properties
and the completion of new ones.

We will seek higher standards of accommodation and plan and implement a


marketing strategy aimed at maximising the camps 40 bed and rod/gun potential.
We will interview additional staff and try to let the fishing on an ad-hoc basis to at
least kick-start an income stream for the first year. At the time of writing this
business plan we have an estimated $380 thousand Canadian Dollars worth of
bookings ready to join us this year. We have taken a 30% deposit.

This could be arranged through are current bankers RBC or if lending is a little
'outside of box' we could work with the BDC bank which looks to support
businesses that are viable in the longer term and bring value to government
strategies. BDC tend to offer less competitive commercial interest rates
commensurate with their longer term return and more flexible lending criteria.

FINANCIAL OPTIONS OTHER THAN SELLING SHARES TO CORPORATIONS


OPEN TO BSC.

We have approach both the banks and private investors to get the construction the
new fishing village and lodges underway.

We are receiving a lot of enquiries for the 2011 season. this means that word is
getting out about the level of our investment in water and the proposed new Camps
and lodges. This should provide a healthy return on the investment for any
investors.
1. Sell shares fractional ownership to Corporations.
2. Operate a straight forward outfitting business for profit.
3. Offer shares to private individuals.
4. Sell some waterfront property at a profit (and look to buy more pools with some
of the profits.)
5. Sell off the entire property portfolio to a private individual or other outfitter at a
higher price and offering a good return to the investors.

Failing the ability to achieve a profitable return the properties will be let for holidays
to tourists where we could offer a tranquil setting to interact with the Canadian
wildlife.

At worst we can let the properties residentially for market rentable values which will
give us a yield of approx. 5%.

COMPETITION

• Other outfitters,
• Other Guides
• Other Destination sporting holiday providers.
• Other sporting pursuits for spouses and non fisher demands.

COMPETITORS AND TYPE OF COMPETITION

The following are direct Competitors Fishing/Outfitting businesses to a greater or


lessor degree.

• ! Wilsonʼs Camps! ! Public/Private club


• ! Country Haven! ! Public
• ! Smoker Brook! ! Public
• ! Ponds Resort Direct! Public
• ! Tuckaway lodge! ! Public
• ! Alpine Lodge! ! Public
• ! Mountain Channel!! Private club!

• ! MSC! ! ! ! Private club
COMPETITORS' STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

There will be NO direct competitor offering a like for like fishing experience on the
Main Southwest Miramichi. Sports will be able to fish our water on an invitation only
basis either through the Shareholders or through an authorised agent. Our pools
are private which will ad value both with any spaces sold commercially through the
agency or the intangible worth as a guest of the shareholders.

Ponds Resort is a well established company with Camps that are starting to show
their age a little. Ponds have one great Home pool, other than this their water is
spread over the higher reaches of the river. This can be an issue in dryer summers
when the water table is low effecting rod catches for longer periods of time. Ponds
has recently been sold and we have an option to buy 2 days fishing a week on
their water.

Wilson's have very good facilities with a new Main Camp now completed. They
offer good all-round Sports facilities with Corporate Event capabilities.
They are probably the longest standing Outfitter on the river with a god selection of
pools. The pools are again mainly on the higher reaches of the river although below
Ponds water. Wilson's prices are probably amongst the highest on the river. Their
customers are mainly repeat US Sports.

Country Haven are a nice family operated Outfitter with mainly leased pools, some
of which is productive water. They have a number of guides working full-time. This
operation is vulnerable to the availability of water leased on a daily basis. Should
water used by them on a leased basis be placed on the open market for sale it
would have a major impact on the product that they can offer.

The MSC have a number of private members. Their water has patchy productivity,
since some of the pools filled in with gravel over the years. The main productive
pool which is used by the MSC has changed and now the majority of the fish are
caught on the opposite bank...ours.

Ledgeʼs Inn has sold shares and expanded its operation by acquiring Mountain
Channel. They have some good pools both mid river and around Gray rapids in
lower Blackville. The operation is fundamentally a private club with some outfitting
capacity. It is hard to see how they can successfully mix the two operations. It is
likely therefore that they have or will seek a partnership with another Outfitter on the
river.

The best of the rest on the river a smaller operations with receiving overflow
business from outfitters within reach of theirs. Personal ties and friendships are the
leading influencing factors in how busy they are. In the main they are not
experienced in web promotion or direct marketing campaigns and so are heavily
reliant on the tourist centres referrals and Sports from other Camps that are full.
Their guides tend to be of a more casual nature and so are not best placed to
satisfy the more experienced fisherman seeking reliable private water and good
sport.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

• Vast spread of productive pools on Main Southwest Miramichi River


• First class facility and operation, we will attract the best and most
experienced guides on the Miramichi to work for us. !
• Proven fish catch record.
• A good range of accommodation for various sizes of sports parties.
• Other that McKeil water which is a stand alone operation all other
properties and pools are within a 30 minute drive of any camp.
• Access to the most competitive car and flight rates.
• Proven Experience in Tourism in the UK and International marketsLong
standing contacts with high earning individuals in Switzerland Germany,
Norway Russia France and Italy Ireland and the US.
• Support from International Fly fishing instructors to sell the Miramichi and
our business to their clients

A key factor distinguishing our operation from any other on the river is the fact that
we will only be selling each time slot to either fishing travel companies or
Corporations. Each booking will have a commitment to fill a minimum number of
sports for that week or slot. (We may sell 2.3.4 days breaks at a premium providing
it does not interfere with another booking/week.)

The major benefit to people using our business to fish the Miramichi is one of
privacy and the diverse availability of water which will offer some comfort that fish
will be caught in most wether conditions and river heights.

We see the fact that it will be difficult to book in our water without going through a
known agent as a major help in allaying any of our competitors fears over a
negative affect their business. Once a week is booked we will be able to
recommend other outfitters on the river.

This privacy and vastness of availability to fish will attract a premium pricing
structure. This can only help to drive up prices along the river commensurate with
supply and demand and future capital investment.

RISK ASSESMENT & CONTINENCY PLAN

The past 5 years have identified the key areas of concern which have been fully
incorparated into this business plan and growth Model.

The only area that is outside of our control is climate change and polution.

Climate change would probably reveal itself over a longer timescale. As our
investors are using the River and investment as a recreational vehicle for clients,
employees and commercial paying guests, any detrimental effect on the Salmon
stocks could be conteracted by the utilastaion of fishing for other sepcies such as
Trout which are less efefcted by the warmer temepratures.

In this scenario the value for the investors would swing towards a more property
related investment which would improve as demand increased for leisure properties
on the river.

BSCLʼs investment in cold water pools should protect our business from any
unseasonal warm temperatures and ensure some protection from lengthy warm
spells in NB.

Polution of the river could only ever be localised due to the miramichiʼs vast 140
mile length. It would also be relatively short term dammage as Salmon are
migratory fish and so future generations would return as normal in consequent
years. There may be some short term short fall in fish returns pertaining to the egg
parr and smolt survival at the time of any incident.

In the event that there is a change in the supply demand or pricing of flights from
the UK perhaps in the event that an airline ceases to operate ofr in the event of
further spikes in global oil prices then the US and Canada market would be the
target market for any shareholders wishing to sell any free spaces.

BSCL shareholders are building a 5 star operation with first class water which
targets high networth individuals which generally are less effected by sharp rises in
travel costs. This is the reason for the substantial investment in construction nd
access to private fishing pools.

on the famous

Miramichi River

Trading as
Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited
The Old River Lodge - Blissfield - New Brunswick - Canada
Imagine

Imagine an investment that is Greener than any other you or your company
has made.

Imagine taking clients to a place that is so magical, that their cares and
worries slip away and they are free to talk to you unencumbered about
your business relationship.

Imagine getting access to a special place whose features will become more
and more rare, as the demand on the worlds natural and unspoiled
resources becomes greater.

As a business investment, this one makes the ultimate sense. It allows you
to own it as a corporate asset yet be free of all day to day management. It
allows you to get a return on investment for the time that you are not using
it, and it will all things being equal, be an appreciating asset.

This opportunity has access to more acreage, more pools and more private
fishing pools than any other on a river that is a legend amongst sport
fishermen for Atlantic salmon.

Increasingly, as government regulations restrict access to crown land and


rivers, the opportunity to own fishing Lodges that over look prime salmon
rivers will become very rare. Most are privately owned and run for the
benefit of business owners who fish with friends and business partners. It is
the ultimate exclusive club that many wish for but few will ever actually have
the privilege to ever attain.

Ask yourself this what’s life all about? Where do you spend all the profit
made today, where can you invest today, that will guarantee a return for the
good of your company your workers, colleagues, customers and the wider
communities. How about investing in tomorrow, an heirloom to pass down
from generation to generation, something you can be proud to say....we did
that!

The structure of this property sale and business, allows for individual
shares to be retained within a corporation, and for the owners of those
shares to benefit from an ongoing control and use of the fishing Village & its
waters.

Operating costs are to be mitigated by renting out for profit, the time slots
that are not used by each corporation.

This is a unique and one time opportunity to participate in the building


maintenance and operation of a unique facility on one of the most famous
fishing rivers in the world.

The business is situated in a stable and legally responsible


country,...Canada. There will be no further dilution of the shares.

.......Imagine such a thing.


Background:

Paul and Charlotte Michaels operate businesses in the U.K and Canada. Profits from their City of
London specialist Office Services business and secure logistics operation, have been reinvested
in a vast leisure property portfolio specializing in Atlantic salmon fishing businesses and
properties.

the Corporation;

(c) pay to the Vendor the amount of the purchase price as calculated herein, by cash or
certified cheque or bank draft as provided in the Agreement; and

(d) delivery of the applicable promissory note as provided in this Agreement.


12.06 Purchased Loan

If, at the Time of Closing, the Corporation is indebted to the Vendor in an amount
recorded on the books of the Corporation (the "Purchased Loan") and verified by the Accountants, the
Vendor shall sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Vendor the Purchased Loan
at the Time of Closing and, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.06, the amount of the Purchased
Loan shall be added to the purchase price for the Purchased Shares then being purchased and sold and
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions herein contained for the payment of such purchase
price.

Provided that if on the Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined) the Corporation is
insolvent within the meaning of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (as determined by the
Accountants in their absolute discretion) then the purchase price for the Purchased Loan shall be an
amount equal to the Fair Market Value thereof (as defined below) on the Calculation Date as determined
by the Accountants in their absolute discretion. In arriving at such valuation, the Accountants shall take
into account and apply generally accepted accounting and valuation principles and such Accountants shall
be deemed to be acting as experts and not as umpires or arbitrators. The valuation arrived at by the
Accountants shall, in the absence of fraud, be final and binding, clerical errors accepted, and no appeal
shall lie therefrom.

For the purposes of this Section, "Calculation Date" means the Date of Closing (as
defined in Article 7.00 hereof) if the subject transaction of purchase and sale arises pursuant to the
provisions of Article 7.00 or Article 10.00 or Article 11.00 hereof and the date of the financial statements
of the Corporation, if the subject transaction of purchase and sale arises pursuant to the provisions of
Article 9.00 hereof.

At the Time of Closing, the Vendor shall do all things required in order to assign the
Purchased Loan to the Purchaser, free and clear of any claims, liens, encumbrances and any rights of set-
off.

Provided that if, at the Time of Closing, the Purchased Loan is not free and clear of all
claims, liens, encumbrances and rights of set-off, the Purchaser may, without prejudice to any other rights
which it or he may have, purchase the Purchased Loan subject to such claims, liens, encumbrances and
rights of set-off. In that event, the Purchaser shall, at the Time of Closing, assume all obligations and
liabilities with respect to such claims, liens and encumbrances. The amount so assumed shall reduce that
portion of the purchase price for the Purchased Shares and the Purchased Loan which is payable at the
Time of Closing and thereafter shall reduce payments on account of such purchase price in order of
maturity. If the Purchased Loan is subject to a right of set-off, only the net amount, if any, of the
Purchased Loan (after deducting the amount to be set-off) shall be added to the purchase price for the
Purchased Shares and such net amount shall be payable in accordance with the provisions herein
contained for the payment of the purchase price of the Purchased Shares.

12.07 Reduction of Purchase Price

If, at the Time of Closing, the Vendor is indebted to the Corporation in an amount
recorded on the books of the Corporation and verified by the Accountants, the Purchaser shall have the
right to pay or satisfy all or any portion of the such indebtedness and to receive and take credit against the
purchase price for the Purchased Shares, and, if applicable, the Purchased Loan for the amount so paid on
account of the indebtedness. Such amount so paid or satisfied shall reduce that portion of the purchase
price payable at the Time of Closing and thereafter shall reduce payments on account of the said purchase
price in order of maturity.

12.08 Vendor's Failure to Close


If, at the Time of Closing, the Vendor fails to complete the subject transaction of purchase
and sale, the Purchaser shall have the right, if not in default under this Agreement, without prejudice to
any other rights which he or it may have, upon payment of that part of the purchase price payable to the
Vendor at the Time of Closing, to the credit of the Vendor in the main branch of the Corporation's bankers
in the municipality where the Corporation's bank accounts are maintained, to execute and deliver, on
behalf of and in the name of the Vendor, such deeds, transfers, share certificates, resignations or other
documents that may be necessary to complete the subject transaction and the Vendor hereby irrevocably
appoints the Purchaser his or its attorney in that behalf.

12.09 Ordinary Course of Business

If the provisions of Articles 7.00 or 9.00 hereof become applicable, then, from such date
until the Time of Closing, the Shareholders shall not do, nor cause, nor permit to be done anything except
that which is in the ordinary course of business of the Corporation.

BUSINESS LOAN INSURANCE PLAN

ROYAL BANK OF CANADA LOAN AGREEMENT – CSBFL - STANDARD TERMS
The following set of standard terms is included in and forms an integral part of the Royal Bank of Canada Loan Agreement - CSBFL. Terms defined
elsewhere in this Agreement and not otherwise defined below have the meaning given to such terms as so defined. The Borrower agrees with the Bank
as follows:

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
In no event will the Credit Facilities or any part thereof be available unless the Bank has received:
a) a duly executed copy of this Agreement;
b) the Security provided for herein, in form and substance, and executed and registered to the satisfaction of the Bank;
c) such financial and other information or documents relating to the Borrower or any Guarantor if applicable as the Bank may reasonably require; and
d) such other authorizations, approvals, opinions and documentation as the Bank may reasonably require.

AVAILABILITY
The Borrower may borrow up to the amount of each Credit Facility provided that the Credit Facilities are made available at the sole discretion of the
Bank and the Bank may cancel or restrict availability of any unutilized portion of the Credit Facilities at any time and from time to time.

REPAYMENT
a) Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities, together with interest, shall become due in the manner and at the rates and times specified in or
pursuant to this Agreement and shall be paid in the currency of the Borrowing. Amounts due on a day other than a Business Day shall be deemed
to be due on the Business Day next following such day.
b) Unless the Bank otherwise agrees, any payment hereunder must be made in money which is legal tender at the time of payment.
c) Where any Borrowings are repayable by scheduled blended payments of principal and interest, such payments shall be applied, firstly, to interest
due, and the balance, if any, shall be applied to principal outstanding with any balance of such Borrowings being due and payable as and when
specified in this Agreement. If any such payment is insufficient to pay all interest then due, the unpaid balance of such interest will be added to such
Borrowing, will bear interest at the same rate, and will be payable on demand or on the date specified herein, as the case may be.
d) Borrowings repayable by way of scheduled payments of principal plus interest shall be so repaid with any balance of such Borrowings being due
and payable as and when specified in this Agreement.
e) Should the Bank demand immediate repayment in full of any amounts outstanding under any term facility due to an Event of Default, the Borrower
shall immediately repay all principal sums outstanding under such facility and all other obligations in connection with any such term facility.
f) Any amount that is not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest until paid at the rate of RBP plus 5% per annum. Such interest on overdue
amounts shall be computed daily, compounded monthly and shall be payable both before and after any or all of default, maturity, demand and
judgement.

PREPAYMENT
Where Borrowings under any term facility are by way of RBP based loans, the Borrower may prepay such Borrowings in whole or in part at any time
without fee or premium. Where Borrowings under any term facility are at a fixed interest rate, provided an Event of Default shall not have occurred and
be continuing, the Borrower may prepay such Borrowings on a non-cumulative basis up to the percentage indicated in this Agreement of the outstanding
principal balance on the day of prepayment, without fee or premium, once per year during the 12 month period from each anniversary date of the
Borrowing. Prepayments greater than the amounts provided for herein may be made only with the prior written consent of the Bank and will be subject to
a prepayment fee determined by the Bank, in its sole discretion. The prepayment of any Borrowings under a term facility will be made in the reverse
order of maturity.

RENEWAL
Provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall confer any right of renewal or extension upon the Borrower. The Borrower and the Bank agree
that, at the Bank's option, the Bank may provide a renewal letter to the Borrower setting out the terms upon which the Bank is prepared to extend the
term loan facility ("Renewal Letter"). In the event that the Bank provides a Renewal Letter to the Borrower and the term loan facility is not repaid on or
before the maturity date, then at the Bank's option the term loan facility shall be automatically renewed on the terms set out in the Renewal Letter and
the terms of this agreement shall be amended accordingly.

EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS
The Bank shall maintain accounts and records (the "Accounts") evidencing the Borrowings made available to the Borrower by the Bank under this
Agreement. The Bank shall record the principal amount of such Borrowings, the payment of principal and interest on account of the Borrowings, and all
other amounts becoming due to the Bank under this Agreement. The Accounts constitute, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower authorizes and directs the Bank to automatically debit, by
mechanical, electronic or manual means, any bank account of the Borrower for all amounts payable under this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
the repayment of principal and the payment of interest, fees and all charges for the keeping of such bank accounts.

CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND FEES


a) The Borrower shall pay interest on each fixed and/or variable rate term facility in arrears at the applicable rate on such date as agreed upon
between the Bank and the Borrower. Such interest will be calculated monthly and will accrue daily on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed and a year of 365 days.
b) Amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be paid at such place as the Bank may advise from time to time. Amounts due on a day other
than a Business Day shall be deemed to be due on the Business Day next following such day. Interest and fees payable under this Agreement are
payable both before and after any or all of default, maturity, demand and judgement.
c) The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any interest, fees or costs under or in connection with this Agreement in excess of what is permitted by
Applicable Law.
d) The annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates calculated in accordance with this Agreement are equivalent, are the rates so calculated
multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such calculation is made and divided by 365.

EXPENSES, ETC.
The Borrower agrees to pay the Bank all fees, as stipulated in this Agreement. The Borrower also agrees to pay all fees (including legal fees), costs and
expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with preparation, negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and any Security and the operation,
enforcement or termination of this Agreement and the Security. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by the Bank if any facility under the Credit Facilities is repaid or prepaid other than on its maturity date. The determination by the Bank
of such loss, cost or expense shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes and shall include, without limitation, any loss incurred by the Bank in
liquidating or redeploying deposits acquired to make or maintain any facility.

D. R. HOWARD - NOTARY PUBLIC


HRJ Law LLP
7/8 PORTMILL LANE

HITCHIN. HERTFORDSHIRE SG51AS


Currently the clients have $800M of term debt that was approved July 2011 to complete
renovations on a seasonal fishing lodge located on the Miramichi. Client is asking for
additional $450M in term debt over 10 years to complete the renovations that they
borrowed money for in July 2011.

The debt was approved in the summer of 2011 to enable us to progress both renovations
of the old and the new build elements of Construction. The balance of the construction
was to be met by 2 separate agreements to the value of $445k with Riverbend Log Homes
and Springhill Construction. Due to the sudden illness of Aunden Rae and the immediate
follow on sale of his business Riverbend Log homes and Retirement of Dick Walker at
Springhill Construction neither agreement is still open to us.

-No income has been earned YTD as they expect to open the camp this June. Clients
requesting additional money due to a shortfall in funding that resulted from two
agreements from vendors to supply material and labour that fell though. It appears there
may have been some cost overruns as they are requesting additional $146M to finish new
camps and retro fit main lodge.

Income has been confirmed as earned to date, by the receipts of a number of 50%
deposits in the RBC bank account. The project costs have been kept within
budget. It is the lack of projected trading income for September and October 2011 that
has left a ‘shortfall’ The delays in construction and completing the finance deal meant
that we could not part finish the camps and so trade in the fall of 2011. Neither could we
invite potential investors to fish with us. No investors were secured to fund the
completion of the works. We have requested $450M (Thousand ) to complete the works
to a turnkey operation and be able to trade and attract private equity partner/s.

-Issues: RBC - From the information supplied by the client, they will have a Net Loss of
$300M in 2012 and another small loss in 2013.

BSCL - We have updated the projections to include more realistic Costs based given
‘scaled back’ operation. Please see attached which even with VERY conservative sports/
clients numbers in 2012 figures indicates a trading profit from beginning of June 2012 or
the start of trading, whichever comes first. Thereafter the company trades profitably.

RBC - From my review of the information the expenses for the camp will be any where
from $500M to $884M per year.

BSCL - Please see amended costings, which show These costs are based on the updated
actual costs to date and the previous trading history costs applied pro-rata to our projected
sport/client numbers.

RBC - The revenue provided by the client shows revenue on the high end being $815M
in 2012 but could in the range of $330M or lower based on booking YTD.

BSCL - Accepted that the Year to date bookings are low. We are delighted that we have
ANY bookings given that we have not finished the construction. We see this as a huge
leap of faith by the salmon fishing community that SHOULD be supported.
Bookings have slowed due to the camps not been confirmed as open for business. We
expect bookings to start up and ramp up, once people hear that construction is finished
and we are open for business.

RBC - The clients have not shown the ability to Debt Service the existing $800M or
$1.2MM in Debt. We have serviced the debt to date.

BSCL - The updated conservative financial projections demonstrate clean serviceability.


RBC - The CAG funded the clients $800M in July 2011 based on the information
provided and now before any income is earned clients are back seeking additional
$450M. Clients would have been required to have funds available to finance any cost
overruns or shortfalls.

BSCL - The figures supplied outlined the projects full funding requirements. For reasons
out side of or control which we have outlined in our submission and admissions, we were
unable to meet certain financial and schedule of works milestones. We seek to limit the
banks exposure and protect both our, and the Royal Banks investment to date. as well as
the projects viability.

RBC - Client has provided listing of bookings for 2012 with net proceeds of $314M but
we can not confirm the $314M. Existing balance in the client's CA is ($641) as of March
30, 2012 with $5,500 outstanding on credit cards with RBC. The related Old River
Lodge Account has a balance of $9,881.

BSCL - This information was taken at a specific timeframe. Both prior and after that
timeframe the trading account had positive cash balance that services the debt finance
and will continue to do so. The credit card balance will be repaid in full this month.

RBC - Clients are non residents of Canada and live in London England.

BSCL - Paul Michaels has personally spent 1in every 5 weeks in New Brunswick, over
the past 6 years, to ensure that both the business and the team gets the fullest support as
required.

RBC - PNW Statement is provided on non RBC standard forms with no confirmation of
assets.

BSCL - Due to the diverse and detailed distribution of our our personal assets and
liabilities, it was, and is not possible to illustrate our Net Worth position on the existing
The RBC PNW form layout does not cater for numerous headings. We have supplied and
updated PNW form attached to a signed copy of the RBC Statement of Affairs and PNW
form.

RBC - Many of the assets are real estate assets outside of Canada and it is difficult for us
to determine the value.

BSCL - From the photographs and website details provided to RBC, it is very clear that
the real value of our UK properties are far in excess of those detailed in our PNW
statement. The loans are secured against our Low Newbiggin Property. These loans
however were used to acquire the fishing properties in New Brunswick. We have signed
both a personal guarantee and a postponement of Claim for the Royal Bank of canada.

RBC - I would expect that many of the assets are held within private companies and not
their personal names.

BSCL - These assets are held in Personal names which can be confirmed by the tax
returns provided to RBC. Chicksand Gordon Avis Limited our UK corporate and
Personal taxation auditors and accountants will be delighted to confirm this.
alastair@stanchicksand.co.uk

RBC - Clients reference cash assets that are held in various banks including tax refunds
but no confirmation of assets provided.

BSCL - We received the tax refunds from the UK HMRC. We are awaiting a credit from
the Canadian HST returns submitted in 2011& 2012.These are being reviewed by
Revenue Canada due to the credit for a non business which is not yet trading due to the
construction. This is normal procedure.

RBC -No formal financial statements or projections were included with the request. The
financial information provided is limited and additional detail should be provided with
request of $1.2MM for a seasonal fishing lodge that is basically a start up operation. We
have no true picture of costs, expenses or equity YTD.

BSCL - There was a delay in finalizing the In-house Management Information, Balance
financial statements for Both Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited due to us not being able
to access the Express on line banking system. The information has now been
provided to the bank.
RBC -The Appraisal provided has a value of $4.6MM based on a projected Net Operating
Income of $417M with a Cap rate of 9%. This operation has a long way to go before it
would be able to generate a Net Operating Income of $417M. I would question at this
point if a value would be $4.6MM. The total cost of the project needs to be confirmed.

BSCL - This valuation was undertaken by the longest established and most highly
respected valuation company in New Brunswick on request of the bank. The valuation
was based on established and proven values as stipulated in the report. It is a known fact
by banks worldwide that the true value of this business lies in the number of fish in and
rod caught from the river and specifically the pools owned or by or controlled by
Blissfield Sporting Camps limited combined with the high end lodge finish specification
which will attract the European and highest paying sports. We have secured long term
leases and future ownership of some principle fishing pools that will add an exponential
value to both the business and the properties and will increase the equity and banks
comfort with regard to Loan to Value calculations. The total cost of the project is outlined
in the updated balance sheet. The value in sporting land values has always been linked to
the inflated profits margins associated with the bounty.

RBC - At this point in time it appears the clients need to do an equity injection of $450M
to get the renovations completed and the camp operational before requesting additional
funds.

BSCL - We could not invite the potential investors to view the lodges and site last Fall as
they were not built. We continue to seek equity investors which is key to the expansion of
this business. Due to the change in circumstances detailed in this document which were
clearly outside of our control and could not have been predicted, we seek further support
from RBC to finish this project on time. There will be a positive financial benefit of
going to market with a Turnkey operation. No party ever paid full retail price for a part
restored car or a partially built home or office block, The unfinished state has an
exponential negative effect on its resale value. We will be inviting potential investors to
view the properties starting 2nd of June 2012 or as soon as we are open for business
whichever is the soonest.

RBC - Once the clients have the camp completed and operational they can approach us
again for financing.

BSCL - Due to the sudden and un-announced retirement of key directors at Riverbend
and Springhill Construction, it is not possible to finish the camps without the addition
debt finance. We are loosing crucial time in ensuring that the camps open on the 2nd June
2012. Any further protraction in restarting construction will have a negative affect impact
o both the credibility of the business and its finances.
RBC - At that time they should have the Year End statement completed with updated
projections on a best and worse case basis.

BSCL - We have provided additional Profit and Loss financial projections based on 50%
of the original incomes. We have cut of direct costs accordingly. The fixed overheads and
loan repayments are based on actual costs.

RBC - An adjusted Net Worth test should also be completed for the clients with a
confirmation of assets.

BSCL - We have pleasure in providing the Royal Bank of Canada’s, Credit Risk Group,
with an updated Personal Net Worth statement , for the purpose of evaluating our current
Net Worth in connection with our application for additional debt finance of CAD$450k

We again would like the bank to consider that in any event the continued financial
support of this project can only serve to strengthen the security and positive future for the
ensuing associated trading business.

Small Business Banking Code of Conduct


Last modified: 11 February 2011

Model Code of Conduct for Bank Relations with Small and In this section:

Medium-Sized Businesses Getting Started in Small


Business

Preamble Small Business Financing


Small Business Banking Code of
Canada 's chartered banks recognize the important role that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play in Canada's economy.
Conduct
The chartered banks also recognize that they have an important and unique role to play in fostering the growth of SMEs in Canada.
Products and Services
In the interest of promoting a healthy and effective relationship between SMEs and the banking community, the Canadian Bankers Tools and Resources
Association and its members, the Chartered Banks of Canada have developed this model code of conduct which will serve as a
minimum standard for bank dealings with SMEs. The key elements of this model code of conduct will be incorporated into individual
bank codes. This model code of conduct and the individual bank codes will not limit the legal rights of any customer or bank.

Individual bank codes


Each bank will apply its own bank code to the business activities it has with its small and medium-sized business customers.

Individual bank codes will contain the four major points outlined in this industry model code of conduct, which are:

Openness

Accountability

Credit Process

Complaint Handling

Openness
Banks will make their codes available to their customers at branches where commercial business is conducted.

Banks will provide the customers with documents, including contracts that are written in clear and understandable language.

Banks recognize the need for open communications with their customers. Banks will outline the joint responsibilities that are part of
the customer-bank relationship to help make sure that open communications takes place.

Accountability
Each bank will identify a senior officer at the national level who is responsible for making sure the code is implemented and
followed by bank employees.

Managers and account managers of each bank will carry out the principles of its code.

Each bank will file a copy of its code with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.

Credit process
Applications for credit

Banks will make the following information available to each customer for the purposes of obtaining business credit:
Directions on how to apply for credit.

An explanation of the requirements needed to obtain bank credit (such as collateral security).

Guidelines on how to prepare a business plan.

An estimate of how long it will take before a credit decision will be made.

Credit approval

Each credit application will be judged on its own merits.

file:///Users/paul%20michaels/Desktop/RBC%20Claim/Affidavit%20e…0110211%20Small%20Business%20Banking%20Code%20of%20Conduct.html Page 1 of 3
Small Business Banking Code of Conduct 050101 04:35

When an application for credit is approved, the bank will inform the customer about the terms and conditions of the financing
including the information and documentation needed by the bank both before and after the loan is granted. This information will be
provided in writing should the customer request it.

If credit is declined

If an application for credit is declined, the bank will inform the customer about:
The main reason(s) for the decision.

The requirements necessary for the bank to reconsider the application.

Available information on alternative sources of financing which could include government programs, venture capital, etc.

Changing circumstances in the credit relationship

Sometimes customers who have a credit relationship with their bank experience a significant change in their business, which could
include financial difficulty. In these circumstances, banks will carefully review the existing arrangement before deciding if any action
should be taken.

If there are changes in the credit relationship, banks will inform customers as soon as possible about the need for on-going,
additional information. Banks will give customers a reasonable opportunity to provide this information.

Under normal circumstances, banks will provide their customers with a minimum of 15-calendar days' notice of any bank actions
taken because of a change in the credit relationship.

Each bank must inform its customer when changes are made to the terms, conditions, fees or lending margins that are specific to
that customer's credit relationship with the bank.

Complaint handling
Each bank will ensure that a complaint resolution procedure is available for use by its small and medium-sized commercial
customers. Each bank will provide its customers with the information they need to use their bank's complaint resolution procedure.
Each bank will appoint a senior officer at the national level who is ultimately responsible for the resolution of complaints.

If customers have a general complaint or if they believe their bank has not met the standard of conduct outlined in the bank's code,
a customer may submit a complaint under the bank's complaint resolution process.

Banks will respond to customer complaints as quickly as possible. Banks will also inform the customer approximately how long it
will take to respond to their specific complaint.

If a complaint is not resolved to the satisfaction of the customer, the bank will provide the customer with the reason(s) for the

contract.

4. In addition, the Owner hereby engages GSA to research and write a comprehensive
Information Memorandum (IM) to be used by GSA and the Owner in the introduction

It is understood that the IM will be the property of the Owner upon its completion, on or

7.10 Defensible valuation based on comparable property sales, lease capitalizations,
costs of similar salmon club memberships, annual rod catch, tax benefits and available
rod days. Because the Miramichi is a world class salmon river, GSA would base its
analysis using a global perspective of Atlantic salmon sport fishing and
international accommodations for those pursuing their sport at this level.

importantly portray the potential revenue stream to offset fixed costs based on occupancy
rates, fees per rod day, use of additional water, labor and food costs. This would be

Dear Ross

Some further interior pics of the Lodges

Sorry that you couldn't make it down to meet with me over the weekend.

As I mentioned we are trying to raise some short term funding to close the purchase of 2 additional pools. As we
currently share one pool and are neighbours I thought it was appropriate to run it by you and your consortium.

We can offer fishing interest or corporate time at the lodge or a combination of either or all, as interest on any money
that you can help us raise.

The closing deal on one pool is 27 October 2012, so a timely response would be greatly appreciated.

Due to the urgency of our requirement, we have just this week employed the professional services of an agency in the
States that specialises in marketing the sale of shares in Atlantic Salmon fishing and shooting estates worldwide.

Charlie Bird is happy to speak with you if you have any questions.

Kindest regards

Dear All

Just to advise that we have employed the services of Ed Belak at Global Sporting Advisors, to better process our
efforts to bring in investors. See below.

Should you have any personal questions, please feel free to still contact Charlotte (my wife) or me directly on +1 506

We are very much open to the concept of securing some interim/bridging capital in return for 'fishing time'

To whom it many concern

Much has changed in the Miramichi Valley since we all went up there wet behind the ears with visions of salmon
everywhere that were nowhere to be found.

For one,the salmon have returned,not in the droves you are accustomed to in Alaska with Pacific salmon, but they are
back in good numbers due to international conservation efforts and angling restrictions that call for the release of all
large breeding salmon over 24 inches.One is still allowed however to catch and release 4 salmon or grilse per day
however, which is done fairly regularly these days. Two grilse may be kept.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a7e0265a0d&view=pt&cat=RBC%20claim&search=cat&th=13affcdfb4c64519 Page 1 of 3
Gmail - Blissfields NB 050101 01:47

Also,there has been a significant re-kindling in the development of first class angling lodges along the Miramichi River
to meet the growing demand for Atlantic salmon fishing from anglers in the Northeast and Europe ( where except for
expensive Norway and Iceland,the salmon fishing is mediocre to poor).

Six years ago I was involved in the revitalization of Wilson's Sporting Camps,the construction of a very nice new lodge
and guest cabins and the sale of an 86% equity interest to a syndicate of hedge fund managers I assembled from
NYC and CT. Wilson's owned in fee simple 16 contiguous good pools over 5 miles of the main Southwest in
McNamee,N.B. It was the largest sale of contiguous salmon water ever held in the Province. Two years later I advised
on the sale of significant water just upstream from Wilsons to Irving Corp. Other assignments have included the sale
of private lodges on the Matapedia ( The Tobique Salmon Club) and in 2010,Middle Camp on the Cascapedia
,perhaps one of the top five salmon camps in the world. And then there was the sale of the historic Ledges,on
Kenebago Lake in Western Maine.

My company,Global Sporting Advisors (www.globalsportingadvisors.us), has recently been retained by Paul Michaels
, a self made Brit ( https://profiles.google.com/111953259793553771875/about) with a passion for salmon
conservation and angling , to develop a set of marketing and financial materials to assist him in locating a person,or
small syndicate,to invest in his completely restored Blissfield Sporting Camp on the main Southwest Miramichi River
near Doaktown,N.B.

I had the pleasure of touring Blissfield Sporting Camp with Paul two weeks ago and was extremely impressed with the
quality and aesthetic sensibility of the entire restoration effort.There are four large lodges each with two separate and
amply furnished 4 star king size bedrooms, sizeable baths ensuite, a screened sitting porch and another outside
veranda. A spacious main fireplaced dining room/kitchen is between the cabins . Without question Blissfield now
ranks among the top three lodges in the Province of New Brunswick( after the venerable Restigouche Salmon Club
and Camp Harmony-- designed by Sanford White) given the quality and number of pools they own and lease,the
aesthetic appeal of the setting and new infrastructure and the absolutely magnificent attention to creature comforts
and cuisine that Paul, his wife Charlotte, and their team have created. Because of the excellence involved in the
restoration,their attention to detail in ensuring first class service , and the pools they have available I am very confident
that there will be strong involvement from individuals and corporate entities in taking a financial interest in Paul's
operation.

As a fly fisherman,you are undoubtedly aware of Frontiers,the largest international booking agent for our sport and
here is what they have to say about Blissfield,built on the site of The Old River Lodge:

http://www.miramichi-salmon-fishing-canada.ca/trip-reports/mike-fitzgerald-jr-from-frontiers-fishing-the-old-river-
lodge.html

Another impartial web site that has been known to call a spade a spade has also opined on Blissfield:

http://www.wherewisemenfish.com/Fly-fishing/freshwater-holidays/East-Canada-Salmon-Miramichi-Blissfield-Lodge#
Salmon-Pools

To summarize,Blissfield is all new, immaculate, tastefully decorated,extremely comfortable , has beautiful river views
of a terrific home pool and 12 more with exclusive access,cell phone service, and is easily accessible from New
England by auto ( even from Cornish,Maine) ,or only 60 or so minutes from the Fredericton international airport.

I would like to discuss your potential involvement in Blissfield at your earliest convenience. Kindly inform me as to your
availability in return email and I will call you at an appointed time. I have many many photos of the site and the
construction if you are interested.

Global Sporting Advisors has begun work on a series of documents that will portray the entirely of Blissfield's ( similar
to what I sent you on Long Meadow Acres) to a select group of potential partners,but I wanted to reach out to you as
quickly as I could,given our long standing friendship and I sense the potential for good accessible salmon fishing that
can be done in comfort and with some semblance of style.

Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Paul,

Further to various communications (e-mail / phone) we have exchanged over a fairly short period, I committed to you
that I would keep you informed as to the banks actions. I have instructed the banks solicitor to issue demands for
payment on both the borrower and guarantors and issue a notice of intention to enforce security.

I suspect you will receive or be served the demands in the very near future however in the interim if you would like to
discuss this matter in more detail please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely

Dear Ross

Thank you for standing by.

I was aware that you have been away for two weeks.

Sorry for late reply to your email of earlier today, we have been out with clients all day.

Yes the NB investor has agreed an initial commitment to inject an initial $80k Paperwork ready to sign.

Once BSCL & ORLI financials are up to date they will review their position with regard to any further investment.

We have some traction with equity partners on larger scale. I suspect that a site visit once ice has gone out and they
can fish and stay in luxury lodgings may elicit a more tangible commitment to invest at a more substantial investment.

Kind regards
Paul

unappropriated, apply such moneys against such part of the Guaranteed Obligations and change
any such application in whole or in part from time to time, all as the Creditor may see fit, without
prejudice to or in any way discharging or diminishing the liability of the Guarantor and no loss
of or in respect of any securities received by the Creditor from the Debtor or any other persons,
whether occasioned through the fault of the Creditor or otherwise, shall in any way discharge or
diminish the liability of the Guarantors under this Guarantee.

8. Liability as principal debtor

All debts, liabilities and obligations purporting to be incurred by the Debtor and owing to
the Creditor shall form part of the Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding any incapacity,
disability, or lack or limitation of status or power of the Debtor or any of its directors, officers or
agents or that the Debtor may not be a legal entity or any irregularity or defect or informality in
the incurring of such debts, liabilities or obligations and any such debts, liabilities and
obligations which may not be recoverable from the Guarantors, jointly or severally, as guarantors
shall be recoverable from the Guarantors as principal debtor upon demand and with interest,
calculated and payable as provided in this Guarantee.

9. Continuing nature and reinstatement

This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall apply to and secure payment of all
Guaranteed Obligations and any ultimate unpaid balance thereof, and it shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the release or discharge of the Debtor for any reason whatsoever,
other than payment in full or the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guarantee
shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by the Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Debtor or for any other reason whatsoever, all as though such payment had not been made.

10. Liquidation, bankruptcy, etc.

In the event of any liquidation, winding up, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Debtor
(whether voluntary or compulsory) or in the event that the Debtor shall make a bulk sale of any
of its assets within the bulk transfer provisions of any applicable legislation or any composition
with creditors or scheme of arrangement, the Creditor shall have the right to rank in priority to
the Guarantors, jointly and severally, for its claim in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and

3|Page
to receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof until its claim has been paid in full,
all without prejudice to its claim against the Guarantors who shall continue to be liable for any
remaining unpaid balance of the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event of any valuation or
retention by the Creditor of any securities, such valuation or retention shall not, as between the
Creditor and the Guarantors, be considered payment, satisfaction or reduction of any Guaranteed
Obligations.

4|Page
11. Waiver of subrogation rights

In the event that the Creditor receives any payments on account of the liability of the
Guarantors, the Guarantors shall not have, and waive to the extent required, all rights to claim
repayment from or against the Debtor and any other guarantors and all rights to be subrogated to
any rights of the Creditor, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.

12. Termination of further liability

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 12, the Guarantors may by
written notice to the Creditor, delivered to the attention of MR. AUNDEN RAE at the address of
the Creditor set forth in this Guarantee or at such other address as the Creditor may from time to
time designate to any Guarantor in writing, terminate any further liability in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations incurred by the Debtor more than thirty (30) days (the "Notice Period")
after receipt of such notice. The Guarantors shall remain liable for all Guaranteed Obligations
incurred prior to, but maturing after, the expiration of the Notice Period and for all Guaranteed
Obligations incurred after the expiration of the Notice Period pursuant to any prior commitments
(express or implied) of the Creditor. This Guarantee shall not terminate upon the death or
incapacity of any Guarantor or upon receipt by the Creditor of any notice in respect thereof and
the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of said Guarantor shall continue to be
liable, unless and to the extent that any further liability is terminated as provided in this
Guarantee.

13. Postponement and assignment of claims

All present and future debts, liabilities and obligations of the Debtor to the Guarantors,
jointly and severally, (collectively the "Assigned Obligations") are postponed to the payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations and are assigned by the Guarantors to the Creditor as continuing
security for the payment of the joint and several liability of the Guarantors. Any moneys or other
property received by the Guarantors in respect of any Assigned Obligations shall be received in
trust for, and immediately upon receipt paid over to, the Creditor with all necessary
endorsements and assignments and pending such payment shall be held separate and apart from
all other property held by the Guarantors. Any moneys received by the Creditor pursuant to this
Section 13, including moneys derived from instruments and any other property, may be applied
against any Guaranteed Obligations or held by the Creditor as continuing security for the liability
of the Guarantors or released to the Guarantors, all as the Creditor may see fit and without
prejudicing or in any way discharging or diminishing the joint and several liability of the
Guarantors. In the event that the further joint and several liability of the Guarantors is
terminated, the provisions of this Guarantee relating to the postponement and assignment of the
Assigned Obligations shall continue in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations

5|Page
have been paid in full and the Creditor is under no obligation to make any further advances or
extend any other financial accommodation to or for the benefit of the Debtor. Despite the
foregoing, the Guarantors shall be entitled to receive and deal with any payments on account of
any Assigned Obligations in the form of [salaries and any other permitted payments] made by the
Debtor in the ordinary course of business prior to a default in the payment of any Guaranteed
Obligations. The assignment and postponement of claims herein contained is independent of this
Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the joint and several
liability of the Guarantors under this Guarantee may be extinct. The Guarantors warrant and
state that the Assigned Obligations are not less than one million four hundred thousand
dollars ($1,400,000.00) and that no third party, except Springhill Construction Limited and
the Royal Bank of Canada has any priority to, received an assignment of or has any claim
to the Assigned Obligations. The Guarantors further warrant and advise that the Assigned
Obligations are unsecured and that the Guarantors have the right and capacity to assign
and postpone the Assigned Obligations to the Creditor.

14. No rights of set-off

All amounts payable by the Guarantors, either jointly or severally, shall be paid without
set-off or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding whatsoever unless and to the
extent that the Guarantors shall be prohibited by law from doing so, in which case the
Guarantors, either jointly or severally, shall pay to the Creditor such additional amount as shall
be necessary to ensure that the Creditor receives the full amount it would have received if no
such deduction or withholding had been made.

15. Entire agreement

There are no representations, conditions, promises, agreements or understandings with


respect to this Guarantee or affecting the liability of the Guarantors other than as set forth or
referred to in this Guarantee. Possession of this Guarantee by the Creditor shall be conclusive
evidence against the Guarantors that the Guarantee was not delivered in escrow or pursuant to
any agreement that it should not be effective until any condition precedent or subsequent has
been complied with and this Guarantee shall be operative and binding notwithstanding the non-
execution thereof by any proposed signatory.

16. Additional security

This Guarantee is in addition and without prejudice to any obligation or security of any
kind by whomever given (including, without limitation, any guarantees, whether or not in the
same form as this Guarantee) now or hereafter held by the Creditor.

17. Further assurances

6|Page
The Guarantors shall from time to time upon the request of the Creditor, execute and
deliver, under seal or otherwise, all such further agreements, instruments and documents and do
all such further acts and things as the Creditor may require to give effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Guarantee.

7|Page
18. Successors, assigns and governing law

This agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the Guarantors and the Creditor and shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of New Brunswick.
The Guarantors irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of New
Brunswick in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee but nothing
shall prevent the Creditor from enforcing this Guarantee or any related judgment against the
Guarantors or any of them in any other jurisdiction. This Guarantee shall not be assigned by the
Guarantors or any of them without prior written consent of the Creditor.

19. Acknowledgment of receipt

Each of the Guarantors acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Guarantee.

Dear Paul,

As we discussed this morning I did receive via your e-mails the documentation that was being prepared for
execution between yourself and the NB investor. The bank did not provide a comment, as those dealings were
between you, your solicitor, the NB investor & their solicitor. The e-mails served as a means of keeping the bank
informed as to your progress with your capital attraction activities and nothing more.

In regard to RBC obligations that need to be brought current please note the following:

1.Government Guaranteed Loan - Principal payments were not deferred as a new loan agreement was never
executed.

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Principal $27,522.96
Interest $14,341.76
Loan is currently 6 months in arrears
Payments are scheduled to come out on the 27th of each month.

2.Term loan in the amount of $450,000.00

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Interest due is $15,148.98


Loan is currently 3 months in arrears
Loan interest is scheduled to come out on the 15th of each month.

3.Term loan in the amount of $300,000.00

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Interest due is $6,164.38


Loan is currently 4 months in arrears
Loan interest comes out the last day of each month.

4.Loan realization cost - these are cost incurred by the bank in its efforts to protect / enforce the banks security
position. These cost were not previously provided, due to an oversight on my part. Realization cost to date
are $8,053.70

Total required to bring loan obligations current are $43,708.82 (this includes loan realization cost but excludes the
principle portion of the Government Guaranteed loan). The bank will not remain patient beyond April 30,2013.

In regard to the Government Guaranteed loan, principle payments were not deferred to August 2013 as requested. As
mentioned above this was due to a new loan agreement not being issued and executed. Consequently I have

Gmail - RE: Blissfields Update 050101 02:29

removed the principle portion owed under the government guaranteed debt from the amount required to be paid by
April 30, 2013.

In addition to loans being brought current by April 30th, 2013 we have consistently informed you that the bank would
remain patient and provide you time to address issues impacting your business provided bank loans were brought /
kept current and that you would have sufficient working capital to meet your obligations as they generally come due. In
this regard the bank is not satisfied that you have sufficient capital to meet your debt obligations to the bank and have
adequate working capital to carry on business in the normal course. You have advised that the NB investor has
advanced $80,000.00 from which approximately $50,000.00 -$60,000.00 was needed to bring pay trade payables &
CRA current. Therefore, there does not appear to be sufficient capital to bring the bank current nor is there adequate
funding to support the business going forward without additional investment.

Please advise the bank prior to the close of business on April 30, 2013 if you can satisfy the banks requirements.

Thank You

Dear Ross

We emailed you the papers required by our interim NB investors. I have received no comment back from the royal
Bank?

We have all the paper work completed and ready to register , Charlie Bird of Whitehead Bird & Miles would like to call
you to discuss.

Phoenix Wood Products has initially committed to cover payables to keep the company solvent until the season
opens.

As requested by RBC and In order to protect the Blissfields trading position, PWP and or Aunden Rae have recently
paid

2013 BSCL leases


Professional Valuation by Global Sporting Advisors
Ford Credit Payments
NB Power
NB Aliant Bell Mobility
PM Travel & Marketing expenses

There are still some critical outstanding payables which they are looking to pay in full or in part including

Royal Bank of Canada


Book keeper - to bring financials current
CRA

The figure that you advised yesterday of $64K, seems high and would put us beyond the figure that they are
contractually obliged to cover at this stage.

Aunden Rae intends to invite his brothers to the lodge and this may open the door to further financial assistance or
possibly investment on a far greater scale.

We have done everything both physically and financially possible to protect the Royal Banks as well as our
investment.

In the event that it may be difficult for us to pay the full $64k could we have a discussion about the amount that you
would accept in order to retain the supports bank assistance. This allow us to plan the next 3 month cashflow forecast
and prioritise distribution of PWP loan funds.

Given the latest update on the lodges indicative value it may now be possible for the bank to take a view on further
assistance.

Restructuring the existing debt


Extension of the deadline to bring the account up to date.
Part payment of the delinquent payments
Lower interest rate
Further funds secured against amounts funds held by an investor in GIC Account

I will call you to discuss

Dear Ross

To confirm our discussion of earlier today

We have secured an interim loan/investment of $80k from Phoenix Wood Products. They have agreed to loan us the money is to
put Blissfields in a more attractive light for investors, whilst at the same time protecting their investment to date.

We have had no choice but to use a proportion of the $80k to pay immediate payables that could have had a further detrimental
effect on the viability of the company or its capacity to have a viable opening and take bookings, which in turn should give us the
ability to start servicing the RBC loans again.

Bills paid by PWP to date

Pool leases
NB Power
Property Insurance
Vehicle Leases
PM Travel
Marketing
Credit Card interest

Todays Balance $27, 000

We fully understand the banks position, however if it demands that the balance of funds is used to reduce the payments deficit
then we effectively have no funds to operate and are effective out of business. Does the bank have a viable solution to this
problem? Will the latest professional valuation make any difference?

Clearly we are going to require to showcase the camps and fishing to investors when the fish are running. We have corporations
and individuals booked in to view the property in June and July 2013, including Paul Brundage of Oxford Properties whom I
believe is known to RBC.

In the meantime and in order that we can keep the banks faith we would like to make a payment on account that would leave us
enough operating capital to keep the business viable until bookings start to come in or until we can secure a large investor.

I am sure that you will understand the challenges that I have faced in securing an investor during the cold winter months. We
intend to invite the other PWP directors up to the lodge in May so that they may be better able to appreciate the value in
supporting the business further.

We continue to everything within our power to protect the banks position and our investment to date and assure the bank that we
have no intention of turning our back on our responsibilities with regard to our loan commitments.

Kindest regards

Dear Ross

Please would you debit enough funds (I do not have the exact figure to hand) from the above business current
account, to pay 1 months interest payment on the following Business Loans.

09344-44727410-006 $450,000 Loan

09344-44727410-008 $300,000 Loan

Once we have confirmed the exact current financial position of BSCL with regard to property taxes, CRA and other
crucial payables we will be able to advise you when you can expect further funds.

We have had a few enquiries for fisherman over the past few days, which is a further step in the right direction.

A full update on the financials will be provided to you as soon as we have anything new or positive to report.

Thank you.

Paul,

As per my e-mail of this morning the banks position remains unchanged. The bank requires that the loan arrears be
paid in full by April 30, 2013 and that you demonstrate that you have adequate working capital to carry on business in
the normal course.

If you are unable to comply with the banks request then the bank will have to give consideration to its other options to
remedy the situation.

Under the current circumstances the bank will not debit your business account for partial payment of arrears.

Thank You

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Michaels:

I wish to advise that we have been contacted by George Kinsman of Ernst & Young who
has been appointed by the Royal Bank of Canada (the "Bank") to act as Receivership under the bank's
security.

I have not seen any documents such as the demand or notice of intention. I will be
requesting a copy of these from the Receiver.

I was told by Mr. Kinsman that I would speak to Darrell Stephenson at Stewart McKelvey
over the next day or so. We have spoken. Mr. Stephenson, at this point, is acting for the Receiver. I
raised the issue of a conflict with him and he does not agree that Stewart McKelvey is in a conflict. If
you object you could ask the court for a ruling at this time.

As the Bank has taken steps to enforce its security and appointed a private receiver, it is
under a duty to act for and protect the interest of all creditors, not just the Bank. The Receiver is an
officer of the court and is accountable to the court for its in actions.

I am going to recommend to the Receiver that we attempt to enter into a Forbearance


Agreement to permit the operation of the camps in normal course to the greater extent possible
throughout the fishing season. Normally this is done prior to the appointment of a receiver, and the Bank
may not be willing. In any event the Bank will want to be satisfied that payments and expenses can be
brought current and there is enough money to fund the ongoing operations.

If they are going to forebear, the Bank will want to make sure that sufficient cash is
available to operate. If you have not completed a detailed cash flow statement, then you should
immediately undertake this exercise. It needs to be conservative and realistic in terms of income and
expenses. The Bank will have more confidence if it reasonably reflects the anticipated operational

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a7e0265a0d&view=pt&q=conflict&qs=true&search=query&th=13ea3d4f53acc53b Page 1 of 2

results.

I would recommend that the Forbearance should go to at least October 31st, 2013 to
allow the completion of the fishing season and permit potential buyers or investors to visit the property
during the prime fishing season.

Whether or not the Bank forebears, you will need to deal with this situation. The most
cost effective way to preserve the value of the secured properties, is to pay the Bank out and taken an
assignment of its security.

The delivery of information from you to the Receiver must be timely. If he asks for
something, it should be given within a reasonable time frame without delay.

Earlier today, Ernst & Young Inc., consented to act as Receiver (the "Receiver") over the assets of Blissfield
Sporting Camps Limited ("BSCL" or the "Company"), pursuant to security granted in favour of the Royal Bank of
Canada (the "Bank"). I would like to coordinate a call with you to discuss the Receivership proceedings, the
Receivers role and address any questions that you may have. Given our time zone differential (I believe we are 4
hours apart), I propose to coordinate a call with you for Friday morning at 7 am AST (11:00 am London time).

Please confirm via e-mail if this time is acceptable and what number I can reach you at.

To: George.C.Kinsman@ca.ey.com

Mr. Kinsman,

As you are in receipt of Mr. Michaels latest email you should realize that it confirms my previous commentary with you.

To be clear,the general terms and conditions under which Global Sporting Advisors (GSA) could be engaged by
E&Yin this receivership are as follows:

1.E&Y executes a confidentiality and non-circumvent agreement with GSA stipulating that it would not prevent GSA
from receiving a marketing success fee at and as a condition of closing should GSA introduce an investor who invests
in Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd.( BSC),provided of course that the amount and terms of the investment are
acceptable to E&Y and your client, RBC.

2. E&Y pays by wire transfer according to the instructions I would provide the non-refundable sum of US$10,000 to
pay for its unrestricted use of the GSA Part 2 Information Memorandum which contains a professionally defensible
valuation of Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd. including its real estate and real property.Part 2 could obviously be used in
collaboration with Part 1 which you have already seen and could make for a very attractive and factual suite of sales
materials for your use should you desire to continue with the receivership process alone. In reality,E&Y has received a
very substantive Part 1 at no cost for its use under the current circumstances.Upon receipt of the aforementioned wire
transfer,GSA would transmit electronically Part 2 of the BSC Information Memorandum.

As an added and most preferable consideration......

3.E&Y( and/or your client,RBC) enters into and agreement with GSA retaining it as your exclusive marketing advisor
for the Blissfield Sporting Camps receivership process for which GSA will be paid a success fee of 5% of the total
consideration invested in Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd.at and as a condition of closing should GSA introduce an
investor acceptable to you and your client who closes on the acceptable investment in Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd.
If during the term of the aforementioned agreement,E&Y or RBC or another third party introduces an investor who
closes of BSC,GSA is paid a 1% fee for its marketing efforts at and as a condition of closing.GSA will accept this
assignment on a professional best efforts basis and use Parts 1&2 to directly solicit investors in BSC from among its
world wide data base of qualified individuals and entities.

Should E&Y find these general terms acceptable,I will forward you the Confidentiality and Marketing Advisor
agreements for your review and execution.I also want to make it clear that the fees quoted are non- negotiable.

This offer to both purchase the use of Part 2 of the BSC Information Memorandum and/or be engaged by E&Y in the
aforementioned matter will expire at 5pm EDT on May 22,2013 at which time all files associated with the BSC will be
deleted and the hard drive on which they are located destroyed.

Not taking advantage of this very reasonable proposal to affect the timely and effective disposition of BSC would be
akin to dying of thirst in the desert with a gallon of ice water directly at your disposal.

I would suggest you consider presenting this proposal to the partners in your office and to the senior E&Y project
manager for their consideration.

Subject: Re: Blissfield

Mr. Kinsman,

What I said was that my fee for Part 1 was paid by Mr. Michaels.

To be clear,it is the confidentiality agreement that E&Y must execute to receive Part 2 that prevents E&Y from not
paying a fee to GSA as E&Y is an advisor to RBC and in that capacity will introduce potential purchasers. This confi
agreement is between GSA and E&Y,not between E&Y and Blissfield. It is also totally separate from the agreement
that GSA executed with Mr. Michaels.

Nothing I have said or written to you was contradictory.

E&Y has a very simple choice. It can choose to utilize a well documented valuation from a firm that has had
considerable experience in both valuing and finding new investors for both private and public salmon camps,or it
can continue a receivership process in an asset class with which its experience is considerably less,or possibly
minimal,,thereby increasing the cost to your client and considerably lengthening the sales process while running the
risk of not receiving the best possible offer for Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd.

If I were a business and required a financial audit,I would consider hiring E&Y. If I had a salmon angling business to
place with new investors,I would definitely retain GSA.It is all a question of expertise.

Very best,

Edmund R. Belak,Jr.

Mr. Michaels has advised me that it is his intention to cooperate with the Receiver and provide materials in his
possession which will facilitate the sales process. It is of course in all parties interests that the sales process be
conducted as efficiently as possible and include the most relevant information available. Should Mr. Michaels
elect not to provide Part 2 of your report, than we shall proceed without the documentation. I do wish to note that
Mr. Michaels previously advised that your fee had been paid. Furthermore, during our earlier call you confirmed
that your fee had been paid. Your e-mail below is contradictory to my previous understanding.

I am somewhat confused with your comments suggesting that E&Y could be termed an advisor. It is of course
difficult for me to comment on the agreement (which you indicate is between Global and Mr. Michaels and not
Blissfield) given that I have not reviewed the agreement. I do wish to confirm that it is the Receiver's position that
we are not bound to any such agreement.

The Receiver shall continue its investigative procedures to secure as much information as possible in order to
market the assets. As noted, I believe it is in all of the stakeholders best interests that all information is made
available to facilitate the marketing process.

Mr. Kinsman,

Thank you for your call today to update me on the current status of Blissfield Sporting
Camps,Ltd.

The agreement GSA has entered into is as marketing advisor directly to Paul Michaels,not
directly to Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd. As such the business assets were for sale by
owner with GSA providing salient information to him.This is contained in Part 1 of the
Information Memorandum which you have read and commented favorably upon.

Furthermore,neither Paul nor Charlotte Michaels,nor Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd. have

paid for Part 2 of the Information Memorandum which contains,among other information, a
defensible valuation for Blissfield Sporting Camps,Ltd.using the metrics we discussed in our
phone conversation. Therefore I do not,at this point in time, deem it appropriate to send you
this work and politely decline your request.

Lastly,the receipt of Part 2 of the Information Memorandum on Blissfield Sporting


Camps,Ltd,because of the proprietary information it contains and the proprietary
methodology used in the valuation, mandates the execution of a Confidentiality Agreement
which further mandates and binds the signatory to not prevent Global Sporting Advisors from
receiving a marketing success fee at and as a condition of closing by any new investor or
introductory advisor/ agent thereof. Under the present terms of your client relationship with
Royal Bank,E&Y could be clearly termed an advisor.

Having stipulated the above,I would look forward to the possibility of assisting E&Y in the
timely and just placement of Blissfield Sporting Camps Ltd. with a new investor should the
Michaels not to be allowed to do so. My hope is that RBC would consider rescinding this
receivership as Blissfield is on the cusp of receiving a new capital infusion which would do
justice to its superlative infrastructure and sound marketing plan.

As you can see from our web site,www.globalsportingadvisors.us, GSA has been
successfully involved in the location of new investors for a number of salmon camps and
outfitting businesses both in New Brunswick and Quebec and were on the verge of
beginning our efforts on behalf of Mr. Michaels after several months of preparatory work
when the Blissfield assets were placed in receivership.

GSA would be interested to entertain the terms and conditions by which E&Y would consider
a mutually beneficial business relationship on behalf of your client.The precious salmon
water owned and leased by Blissfield Sporting Camps deserves protection and with the run
almost upon us the best protection for any salmon water is a viable and ethical outfitting
operation.

The purpose of this communication is to confirm our discussion of earlier today. As you are
now aware, Ernst & Young Inc., has been appointed Receiver (the "Receiver") over the
assets of Blissfield Sporting Camps ("Blissfield") pursuant to security held by the Royal Bank
of Canada.

The Receiver is in the early days of its administration and we are attempting to collect as
much supporting information as we can with respect to the Blissfield assets. We understand
that Blissfield previously engaged Global Sporting Advisors ("Global") to prepare a
marketing Information Memorandum and assist Blissfield to locate an investor or purchaser
for its operating assets. We have received a copy of the Information Memorandum as
prepared by Global (a copy of the report was sent to RBC by Mr. Michaels). We understand
that a valuation report has also been commissioned and paid for by Blissfield. As Receiver
we asked that a copy of the valuation report be provided to us. You have respectfully
declined at this stage.

I also confirm that it is the Receivers intention to market the Blissfield assets. The specific
process by which we intend to market the assets has not yet been finalized. Should you
wish to submit a proposal for our consideration, please feel free to do so and we shall
consider such an assignment while considering costs, timeline, marketing approach and
other criteria which are relevant vis-a-vis a receivership sales process. Please be advised
that the Receiver will not be bound to any prior agreement as executed between Global and
Blissfield.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.

Dear Monique

As discussed with you today I have wish to bring an immediate stop to the illegal sale of our assets. Please see
email string at foot of this message and attachments.

Charlotte and I have invested 7 years of our lives and CAD$1.5m of our hard earned money into this project. The
Royal Bank of Canada loaned us CAD$1.25m and NB creditors have thousands of man hours and CAD$500k in
this project. Total investment CAD$3.25M + 7 years of travel time and labour.

The receiver Ernst & Young were appointed on a 'Private basis" in early may to market and sell the camp, on the
basis that we were in excess of $60k in default. I advised the bank that they had their sums wrong and that we
actually owed approximately $40k. The reason was given by E&yY that the bank had lost confidence in my ability
to operate the business or sell the business model to investors. The Royal bank were covered by the government
small business guarantee loan of $500k. E&Y copied and used our business information complied over 7 years to
market and sell the property and business.

Today we have learnt (not from my lawyer or the bank) that the assets have already been sold and have proof that
monies have transferred between parties . This renders the Mortgage sale (see attached notice pointless)

We are therefore left with the reasoning that the sale is nothing short of a smoke screen to cover up yet further
evidence of a flawed foreclosure and sale process.

The fact that the receiver was brought in on a private basis is a challenge for us as we do not know what legal
rights and protection this provides us with.

I intend to fly to New Brunswick tomorrow so that I can sign a statement of truth in order that we may file an action
against the Royal bank for but not limited to

1. Improvident Foreclosure
2. Premature cessation of the assets
3. Tortious interference a
4. Irreperable harm to our character and business both in Canada and the UK

Let us state that IF the sale of our assets and closure of business accounts is halted with immediately, and the
bank works with us to find an amicable solution, and that allows us to continue trading and additional time to
rebuild our business and roll out our original business model (that we and RBC invested in) then any claim or law
suit may be wholly unnecessary

The fact is that Ross Backman from Special loans division of the royal Bank promised that he would allow us time
to secure investors to repay the bank. He did not do so and called in the receiver once we secured a investor to
bank roll us and provide a little working capital which would allows us to operate and show case the lodge to
investors during the 2013 summer fishing season. The bank froze our accounts and $21k in our account and
allegedly gave them to Ernst & Young towards their management fees.

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a7e0265a0d&view=pt&q=monique%20pearson&qs=true&search=query&th=141c7234ad73fbd2 Page 1 of 4
Gmail - ATTENTION MONIQUE PEARSON 050101 04:02

We demand to know why the bank decided to and have been allowed to proceed with a receivership and sales
process for a relatively insignificant amount of $40k which represents approximately 1.14% of the overall
investment to date. and 0.87% of our independent valuation of the lodge business and fishing water. Further the
process has worsened NOT improved the Banks position as it has eliminated the potential for ANY income in
2013 and had a significant negative impact on the commercial sale or investment value of the property. The
receiver's costs are approximately 4 times that of the default and the likely sale value will not recover other
investors monies. Other creditors may have a potential claim against the bank.

If we do not receive confirmation today that you are willing and or able to proceed with an investigation of the
process and immediate halt of the sale of our investment assets and investments I will have no alternative but to
file an action against the bank tomorrow. On Monday we will then instruct our lawyer to file a law suit against the
bank for damages. The true costs and claims totals of which may overshadow and be far in excess of the cost of
our loan temporarily loaned to us by RBC.

We are truly sorry that things have progressed to this level but I am sure that you will understand that we have a
great deal to lose here and at this stage in our lives we may never get the opportunity to rebuild our assets and
business incomes.

Dear Charlie

On behalf of all other creditors and to protect their investment in 'Blissfields' I restate that

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a7e0265a0d&view=pt&q=monique%20pearson&qs=true&search=query&th=141c7234ad73fbd2 Page 2 of 4

1. The bank erred in the figures originally stated as being under default. This incorrect amount was the catalyst
for the foreclosure

2. The bank foreclosure based on recalculated arrears of CAD$42k compared with the investment of CAD$3.5m
and seven years of investment by the owner operators, was improvident.

3. The that the seizure of the assets prior to the fishing season was premature.

4. The appointment of the receiver has devalued the value of our assets, and jeopardised our financial wellbeing
in the UK.

5. Irreparable harm has been done to our credibility and business.

6. The bank lent us the money on the basis that we would operate the lodge and market the share equity to
investors, a 'Force Majeure' should have meant more assistance from the bank to rescue our business NOT less.
We have been denied access to the lodge to operate and showcase the investment opportunity in 'Blissfields'

7. We have been denied any information regarding the enquiries and levels of offers made on our assets
throughout the receivership process. We believe that the information gathered throughout the process has been
or will be used commercially without financial or operational benefit to us.

8. We are privately investigating claims and evidence of Tortious Interference.

9. The bank and its advisors did not follow protocols or procedures during the foreclosure process.

10. Conflicts of interest between agents the bank and advisors have been ignored.

11. Confirmed 2013 and forward booking cancelations, have caused us financial losses, and prevented us from
repaying the bank.

12. We hold the bank and its advisors fully responsible for any financial losses both in Canada and the UK, and
the direct and indirect affects to our health.

13. Whitehead Bird and Miles are acting as our independent lawyers legal advisors in our best interest in this and
other cases and are experienced in these fields and have concurred with our position and claims.

In order to prevent further unnecessary loss of time, money and misrepresentation, we demand that the bank
agrees to an immediate 'hands down', dismisses the receiver and terminates the illegal sale of our assets. They
bank have the ability/facility to use the government guarantee element of our loan to freeze any bank payments,
and allow us time to privately operate the lodge and market the investment opportunity independently and or to
refinance. This would allow the best opportunity to maximise any repayment to the banks, government, creditors
and local community.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bernier

It is with regret that I write to you to ask of your urgent assistance in this matter.

My wife and I have invested 7 years of our lives and $2m in this project. Our business model and efforts would significantly
improve much needed employment and development prospects for the Miramichi region of New Brunswick.

After undertaking 'spurious' sales campaign, The Royal Bank may now legally dispose of this without any obligation to us.

I believe that RBC have a case to answer and may not have followed banking protocols when they prematurely foreclosed,
after making both verbal and contractual obligations with us to nurture or business ,investment and dream beyond the 'Force
Majeure'' 2012 drought back to health.

Please see below email to Ross Backman of RBC SLAS - Halifax +1 902 845 421

We look forward to hearing from you.

E9C 1L4 October29, 2013

Dear Paul,

Upon completion of the GSA Confidential Information Memorandum and Valuation Parts 1 and
2 on Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited on May 6,2013, my company began a targeted effort to
interest several hundred investors that were known personally to me along with high net-worth
individuals who were qualified as potential ‘good fit’ investors for Blissfield Sporting Camps
Limited (BSCL).

Shortly thereafter and right at the beginning of the 2013 salmon fishing season, when sound logic
would indicate that BSCL would start serving paying clients, Royal Bank of Canada placed
BSCL in private receivership with Ernst and Young who refused you the opportunity to operate
BSCL during the 2013 fishing season. As a show of good faith, GSA provided E&Y with Part 1
of its comprehensive report to educate the receiver on the Miramichi and its important Atlantic
Salmon resource and also on the real value of the BSCL assets. In conversations with George
Kinsman of E&Y, the receiver admitted that it had never sold a piece of salmon water or a
salmon camp and that it had no understanding of how they were valued, or operated. GSA did
not release Part2, the valuation on BSCL, as neither RBC, nor E&Y, agreed to execute a standard
Confidentiality Agreement contained in Part 1 of the GSA Report and made available to both
parties.

www.GlobalSportingAdvisors.us
As you well know, the Receiver advertised the availability of BSCL widely and failed in their
attempts to find a bonafide buyer while at the same time materially reducing the value of the
BSCL assets through the flawed process. What was to be a private receivership became very
public with much hearsay and gossip being spread throughout the Miramichi Valley such that it

scared off a handful of my clients that were seriously considering investing in Blissfield at or
near the very defensible valuation prepared by GSA. This not only had the impact of negatively
affecting my business, and your potential gains, but that of the Royal Bank itself and the
creditors associated with BSC.

At my request a personal friend provided $250,000 of working capital to allow ongoing


operations of BSCL. This was commensurate with a group of investors reviewing the GSA
materials on Blissfield and planning a trip to NB to view BSCL. My friend became nervous
when he was made aware that RBC had closed the accounts of BSCL and had frozen those
funds. He subsequently requested the funds be returned to him, which they were. Needless to
say, when the potential investors were told of this unfortunate and unnecessary action, they, too,
abandoned their interest.

So, in summary, the receivership process has generated fees for E&Y that are substantially
greater than the amount of the arrears in your loan payments. It has de-valued the assets of
BSCL, such that it is unlikely that RBC will recover its loan losses, much less provide anything
for its creditors as a result of its desperation sale. It has prevented the development of a viable
commercial Atlantic Salmon Lodge that could provide much needed economic sustenance to the
Miramichi Valley. And importantly, it has demonstrated the lack of real support for small
business by one of Canada’s premier financial institutions.

As a whole, having been involved in the valuation and successful sale of more Atlantic salmon
lodges and businesses (including your upstream neighbor Wilson’s some seven years ago) than
anyone else in Canada in the last decade, the actions of RBC were extremely amateurish at best
and a severe interference with your potential to develop a commercially viable Blissfield
Sporting Camps – all for the sake of C$45,000.

Lastly, I personally did not appreciate E&Y plagiarizing GSA information (apparently with RBC
consent) from Part 1 of the GSA report without GSA permission, or even giving GSA credit.

Very best,

Ed

Composite Valuation (from the GSA Blissfield Valuation Report – May 2013)

Based upon lease transactions, we have independent assessments of the value of the
salmon water (only) ranging from C$666,350 to C$1,317,500, without adding any
premium for the improved fishing related to the private nature of the water, superior
spring fishery, and conservative allotment of less than 1 rod per pool. In calculating an
appropriate final value, we have added a 10 % premium for these factors. The sporting
camp business could be valued at approximately one times sales, with the additional
land values as estimated above. Table 3 below represents a composite valuation
analysis for Blissfield Sporting Camps.

Table 3 Composite Valuation Analysis for Blissfield Sporting Camps


$Canadian

Real Estate and Real Property $ 3,000,000

FF&E $ 188,000

Salmon Angling Water $ 1,100,000

Angling Water Premium $ 110,000

Business Valuation $ 280,000

Composite Valuation $ 4,678,000++

When taken as a whole, we believe that both the aggregate value analysis set
forth based upon selected comparable transactions, the recent Provincial
salmon water leases, the conservative business valuation as well as the
composite valuation analysis supports the value of Blissfield Sporting Camps
at CAD$4.7 million.

The removal of Arlie B (1,187 linear feet), Witherall (1,025 l.f.), Swett (5,564 l.f.),
Arlie B (1,187l.f.), Bamford (718 l.f.) and Mercury Island (4,774 l.f.) Pools from
the valuation of Blissfield because they either weren’t sold by the Receiver, or
due to lapsed options, with an associated reduction in the angling water
premium( $55,000) reduces the valuation of Blissfield Sporting Camps to C
$4,162,600 based on a value of the removed salmon pools of $34.70 per linear
foot ( using the mean and median linear foot values of the March 2013
Provincial Lease Auction) .

Essentially the Receiver sold the asset for approximately 11-12% of the value
of Blissfield’s real estate and real property.

What can I say?

I am today collating my own file and references for your records

FYI See my Notes below on your draft claim - No mention of our EXTENSIVE efforts to promote lodge to potential
investors throughout spring which showed desperation and did not help to protect the value. Ed went to over 400
prospects I contacted over 200. None wanted to touch it whilst in receivership. They also mentioned the potential
harm that could come to lodge from local creditors left out in the cold by the process.
GSA re;lied on using part of the GSA valuation. There Ind=formation Memorandum did not do the lodge justice
and further devalued it. Some of the pictures portrayed a distressed building. GSA did offer to work with E&Y and
the bank however neither agreed to sign the Non-Confi agreement. Ross Backman was away on leave leading at
the time of the demand notices and the time of the July 15 sale process. Despite being 300 miles away with no
funds and having to experience immense and disproportionate levels of pressure from the banks and its advisors
Paul & Charlotte Michaels have been model clients throughout this process. Charlotte Michaels is believed to
have suffered a nervous breakdown during her pregnancy as a result of these pressures. Paul has had to go
through significant and distressing medical tests for abdominal pains, thought to be a direct result of stress
brought on by his Yeoman effort to save their 7 year and $1.5m investment. Throughout this process Paul has
tried his very best, exerting professional constraint and extending courtesy to the bank and its advisors while at
the same time carrying out exhaustive efforts to keep everyone onside such as their international agents, NB
creditors as well as their UK bankers. The Michaels have at a cost to their health and UK business interest kept
the bank abreast of any and ALL progress. The Michaels now have a young girl to attend to and are seeking the
courts involvement to release them of unnecessary and unfair distress at this important time in their lives. Any
agreement/settlement should include the reopening of Paul & Charlottes personal RBC account and refund their
$27k.

7. Owned and operated Private Atlantic Salmon fishing Estate since June 2001 - 13.5 years

8. Client and his vision and business plan known to RBC since November 2006.

not $20k RBC suggested last payment date for one loan was November 2012.

The claimant understood that it was Principle and interest on the BSCL loan that had been deferred until August
2013. Further that the RBC $300k and $450k loan repayments were to be interest only until August 2014. They
advised RBC that there calculations were wrong.

RBC concurred that the figures were wrong

PLEASE NOTE- Interest has been calculated at 9% instead of 3% above base rate.
The claimant was never notified of the increase.
ACTUAL amount outstanding excluding BSCL interest was $4k at point of issuing demand letters
and $9k at point of foreclosure. Including BSCL interest $16k

1.Government Guaranteed Loan - Principal payments were not deferred as a new loan agreement was never
executed.

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Principal $27,522.96
Interest $14,341.76
Loan is currently 6 months in arrears
Payments are scheduled to come out on the 27th of each month.

2.Term loan in the amount of $450,000.00

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Interest due is $15,148.98


Loan is currently 3 months in arrears
Loan interest is scheduled to come out on the 15th of each month.

3.Term loan in the amount of $300,000.00

As at April 25, 2013 arrears are;

Interest due is $6,164.38


Loan is currently 4 months in arrears
Loan interest comes out the last day of each month.
In regard to the Government Guaranteed loan, principle payments were not deferred to August 2013 as
requested. As mentioned above this was due to a new loan agreement not being issued and executed.
Consequently I have removed the principle portion owed under the government guaranteed debt from the amount
required to be paid by April 30, 2013.

14. As it was during the winter...2012 drought meant people were waiting to see what 2013 fishing season
yielded.

15. Not to pay arrears which were in dispute but to release 1 month loan interest payments to keep any further
action at bay until actual outstanding amounts were resolved. PWP had a condition that they could NOT ultimately
direct funds, They were advising us though.

16. RBC advised us that the demand letter was authorised on 29th January 2012, just 14 days after taking over
our file from our branch on the 15th January 2012. Paul kept them abreast of all developments including the PWP
loan docs and personally flew to Halifax for 2 meetings with Ross Backman and significant trouble and cost under
the circumstance.

17. We did not appoint counsel as Ross Backman told me that the bank would support us until we secured an
investor (equity not cashflow)

The Bank’s plan is to continue to provide you with time to arrange alternate financing to support the business
following the expiration of the notice period set out in the demands.

Dear Ross

Thanks for confirming that the bank will endeavour to allow us time to close the deal with investors

kind regards

Paul Michaels
President
Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited

20. ...despite Ross Backman advising us that attention should be given to the immediate payables such as lodge
insurance and NB Power etc.

24.GSA retained in October 2012.

28. What date did they enter the agreement? Were the properties privately owned by P&C Michaels included and
if so at what point? They were NOT included in the July 15 bidding process. They were included in the October 31
Private Mortgage Sale notice.

29. Not aware of outcome due to reluctance from E&Y and bank and its advisors to release the Purchase and sale
agreement.

34. No release of particulars of process including a list of interested parties or levels of bids.

36.The guaranteed bookings were from 2012 cancellations. We had other enquiries during spring of 2013 but
could not honour the bookings or even confirm we would be open. This has done our business much irreparable
harm. We guaranteed the bank $60 irrespective of level of confirmed or tentative bookings.

STATEMENT OF CLAIM

1. The Plaintiff, Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited (“BSCL”), is a body corporate incorporated under
the laws of the Province of New Brunswick on April 2, 2007 as 631019 N.B. Inc. BSCL’s registered
office is located at 111 Main Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

2. The Plaintiffs, Paul Michaels and Charlotte Michaels (collectively “the Michaels”), are married and
reside at Low Newbiggin Estate, Aislaby, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. At all
material times hereto, the Michaels were the sole directors, officers and shareholders of BSCL.

3. The Defendant, the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), is a Chartered Bank under the Bank Act, S.C.
1985, c. 46, with an operating branch located at 504 Queen Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

4. The Defendant, Ernst & Young Inc. (“E&Y”), is an extra-provincial corporation under the Business
Corporations Act, S.N.B. 1981, c. B-9.1, with its registered office located at 222 Bay Street, Suite
3100, Toronto, Ontario.

5. None of the parties are suffering from any legal disability.

6. Beginning in 2007, the Plaintiffs began acquiring real property along the Southwest Miramichi River
in Doaktown at or near Blissfield, New Brunswick, being PID Nos. 40466484, 40041642 and
40038234 (“the Properties”). PIDs 40466484 and 40041642 were purchased in the name of BSCL,
while PID 40038234 was acquired in the Michaels’ names. During the same period of time, the
Plaintiffs acquired access and riparian rights over PIDs 40038531, 40038283, 40038341 (“the
Fishing Rights”). In the aggregate, the Plaintiffs spent over $1,500,000.00 in acquiring the Properties
and the Fishing Rights, as the funds were raised by mortgaging property the Michaels own in the
United Kingdom. The Michaels have extended personal guarantees for these UK based loans.

7. The Michaels operate an Atlantic Salmon Fishing Lodge in the United Kingdom, and they
approached RBC beginning in 2007 about obtaining financing to build high quality fishing camps
and a Lodge on the Properties in the Miramichi (“the Camps”). The Michaels planned to build the
Camps with local (New Brunswick) labour and materials, and would be operated from April 15th
until October 15th each year, being the length of the fishing season.

8. After extensive negotiations with RBC, in August 2011 BSCL obtained a loan in the amount of
$810,000.00 from RBC to begin building the Camps, being document number 30531421 (“the BSCL
Mortgage”). On May 4, 2012, the BSCL Mortgage was amended to secure the principal sum of
$1,260,000.00. On September 2, 2011 RBC registered a collateral mortgage against PID 40038234
(owned by the Michaels) in the amount of $810,000.00, being document number 30553425
(collectively “the Collateral Mortgages”). The BSCL Mortgage had a ten year term with interest
payable at a rate of 5% per annum, interest only payments in the first year. The Michaels each
provided personal guarantees for the Collateral Mortgages.

9. By a general security agreement dated September 22, 2011 and registered in the Northumberland
County Registry Office as document number 32758683 on June 12, 2013 (“the GSA”), BSCL
granted a security interest to RBC over all of its undertakings, including the Fishing Rights.
- 5 -

10. BSCL’s business plan forecasted guests paying $1,000.00 per day to attend at the Camps, given the
world class fishing available on the Miramichi River and the high-end accommodations which the
Camps would provide. BSCL began constructing the Camps in August 2011, and construction
continued through the winter until the Camps were completed and opened in late June 2012. The
business plan was discussed in detail with RBC.

11. After opening in late June, the 2012 fishing season was suspended by law on that portion of the Main
Southwest Miramichi River where the Properties and the Fishing Rights are located. The suspension
of fishing lasted from mid-July until mid-September due to low water caused by a lack of rain.
BSCL’s business revolves around providing world class fishing in its pools, and the extended
interruption meant that fisherman did not attend at the Camps. This was a force majeure event for
Blissfield during its first season of operation, and the lack of cash-flow from fishing operations
caused the Plaintiffs to fall behind on the payments for the Collateral Mortgages, but the Plaintiffs
kept RBC aware of these difficulties.

12. RBC allowed BSCL to fall into arrears on the Collateral Mortgages, but advised the Michaels to
inject more capital into BSCL through shareholder advances or through outside investment. On
January 15, 2012, RBC unilaterally moved the Collateral Mortgages into the ‘special loans’ category
and increased the interest rate payable to 9% per annum. This added $4,200.00 per month to BSCL’s
expenses, which it could not afford. At the time the loans were in arrears by 2 months.

13. The Plaintiffs requested principal and interest relief on the loan payments, which RBC advised could
be arranged under the Canada Small Business Financing Act, S.C. 1998, c.36. RBC told the
Plaintiffs that this relief could and would be granted. RBC later found that only principal relief could
be obtained under the Canada Small Business Financing Act, but did not advise Plaintiffs of this
change.

14. The Michaels were unable to invest further funds into BSCL, and sought outside investment.
Phoenix Wood Products Limited (“PWP”), owner of Riverbend Log Homes, supplied BSCL with
the log cabins for the Camps. Aunden Rae (“Rae”) and PWP agreed in principle to provide a
$120,000.00 loan to BSCL (“the PWP Loan”) in December, 2012. The PWP Loan acknowledged
BSCL’s outstanding debt to PWP in the amount of $40,000.00, which left $80,000.00 to be
disbursed in two tranches for operating expenses of the Camps.

15. The PWP Loan was conditional on PWP and Rae holding second place security on PIDs 40466484
and 40041642, behind RBC’s security. Further, the PWP Loan was to be used to cover the ongoing
operating expenses of BSCL, not to pay the arrears owed to RBC. The PWP Loan was secured via
a collateral mortgage, a general security agreement and a promissory note in favour of Rae and PWP,
and the Michaels provided personal guarantees. The collateral mortgage in favour of Rae and PWP
was registered in the Northumberland County Registry Office on April 25, 2013 as document
number 32602030.

16. On or around February 20, 2013, RBC issued a Demand for Payment and Notice of Intention to
Enforce Security (“the Demand”) to the Plaintiffs. When RBC made the Demand, the amount of the
arrears alleged owing included principal on the BSCL Mortgage which were not in fact due, which
- 6 -

RBC later acknowledged. Paul Michaels was in almost daily contact with RBC via telephone and
e-mail about the status of the PWP Loan and the progress that was being made to bring the Collateral
Mortgages current. The Michaels were living in the United Kingdom, which made face-to-face
meetings with RBC difficult but Paul Michaels would travel to New Brunswick when necessary.

17. Both prior to and after RBC issued the Demand, the Plaintiffs worked diligently to obtain financing
from PWP, Rae and other sources to cover ongoing expenses. When the Plaintiffs were successful
in obtaining financing from Rae and PWP, they were led to believe that this would result in the
continued forbearance by RBC to see BSCL through the 2013 fishing season, notwithstanding
RBC’s issuing of the Demand. Paul Michaels was dealing with RBC and its counsel directly, as he
had not engaged counsel at this time.

18. Throughout February and March of 2013, BSCL was in arrears on its accounts with NB Power and
Aliant. Additionally, the premiums on BSCL’s fire insurance policy for the Camps through Wilson
Insurance were due. Without these services and the insurance policy, BSCL would not have been
able to continue its operations, so payment of these accounts was crucial to BSCL’s survival. The
first tranche of $40,000.00 from the PWP Loan was to be used to pay these accounts so the Camps
could open for the 2013 fishing season.

19. The second tranche of the PWP Loan to BSCL was to be disbursed if BSCL was able to keep its
operating expenses current and if BSCL could work through its issues with RBC on a temporary
basis. The Plaintiffs informed RBC of the terms of the PWP Loan immediately once it was obtained.

20. In April, 2013, PWP/Aunden Rae paid amounts on various accounts for local expenses owed by
BSCL, and the remainder of the first tranche was deposited into BSCL’s operating account at RBC
on April 26, 2013, being $27,973.02 (“the deposit”). Upon receiving the deposit, RBC immediately
froze BSCL’s operating account and applied the whole of the deposit towards the arrears owed on
the Collateral Mortgages. RBC did this despite knowing that the Loan was to be used for the
operating expenses of BSCL, and that the second tranche was contingent on the Bank forbearing on
the Demand.

21. As a result of RBC’s handling of the deposit, PWP and Rae refused to disburse the second tranche
of $40,000.00, as they feared it would be treated in the same fashion as the first tranche was by RBC.

22. On May 3, 2013, E&Y was appointed as receiver of the assets of BSCL under the GSA by RBC and
has been appointed as RBC’s agent to dispose of the Properties secured by the Collateral Mortgages.
After being appointed on May 3, 2013, E&Y refused to operate the Camps during the 2013 fishing
season, despite BSCL having in excess of $60,000.00 in confirmed bookings.

23. The 2013 fishing season was a good year, as the fish have returned to the main Southwest Miramichi
River. There has been a sufficient amount of rainfall to allow for a full season of fishing on the
portion of the River where the Plaintiffs own real property and/or riparian rights. These facts were
made known to RBC and E&Y, but both Defendants refused to operate the Camps.

24. BSCL retained Global Sporting Advisors to value and market the Properties and the Fishing Rights.
Global Sporting Advisers valued the Properties and Fishing Rights at $4,600,000, and has suggested
- 7 -

that they must be exposed to the market for 12-18 months before finding the right purchaser. Global
Sporting Advisors is confident a suitable purchaser will emerge due to the nature of the Properties
and the facilities which they offer.

25. Global Sporting Advisers has extensive experience in selling Atlantic Salmon fishing properties on
the Main Southwest Miramichi River and elsewhere, and their mandate is to sell the Properties or
to sell the shares of BSCL on behalf of the Michaels. Global Sporting Advisors has warned that the
Properties should not be broken up and sold piece-meal, and that selling the Properties under distress
would result in a much reduced realization for the Plaintiffs and RBC. Further, Global Sporting
Advisers suggested that having the Camps operational would significantly aid the process of selling
the Properties or the shares of BSCL.

26. E&Y has appointed George Kinsman, C.A., C.I.R.A. to act as receiver, despite Mr. Kinsman having
no experience in selling property similar to that owned by the Plaintiffs. E&Y would not seek or take
the advice of the Plaintiffs or Global Sporting Advisers, as E&Y and RBC would not operate the
Camps during the 2013 fishing season under any circumstances, despite the bookings BSCL already
had for the 2013 season.

27. The Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers arranged for potential purchasers and investors to come
to see the Camps after E&Y was installed as receiver. These proposed visits were communicated to
RBC and E&Y, but each request made to the Defendants to open the Camps, even for a short period,
were refused. The effect of these refusals were that prospective purchasers of the Properties that the
Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers had lined up were turned off by the unreasonable actions of
the Defendants.

28. E&Y entered into a sale agreement for the Properties which was set to close on October 31, 2013.
When the Plaintiffs asked to attend at the sale and to have information on the purchaser, the
purchased assets or the purchase price, the Defendants refused and advised that an accounting would
be provided in due course. The Plaintiffs have been given no information regarding the sale of their
assets, and have no information to confirm whether the proposed sale will satisfy their creditors or
leave them in a deficiency, which may expose the Michaels to liability under the personal guarantees
on the Collateral Mortgages, the PWP Loan and the UK based loans.

29. The Plaintiffs claim that the Defendants have not acted in a commercially reasonable manner both
prior to and after E&Y’s appointment as receiver and agent of RBC, and have attempted to
improvidently and negligently realize on the assets of the Plaintiffs. The Defendants’ actions could
cause a deficiency from the sale of the Properties and the Fishing Rights.

30. The Properties and the Fishing Rights were in no danger when E&Y took possession of same, and
their conduct guaranteed that the Plaintiffs would not be able to bring the Collateral Mortgages
current. If they had been able to operate they would have access to the PWP Loan and the cash flow
generated this fishing season. The Plaintiffs have suffered damages and losses as a result of the
conduct of the Defendants, but at this time the particulars of such damages and losses are unknown
due to the Defendants refusal to provide information to the Plaintiffs regarding the sale of the
Properties and the Fishing Rights.
- 8 -

31. If the Properties and the Fishing Rights are not sold for a fair and proper price, each of the Plaintiffs
will be petitioned into bankruptcy in Canada (BSCL) and in the United Kingdom (the Michaels). As
stated, the equity used to purchase the Properties and the Fishing Rights was drawn from the
Michaels’ properties in the United Kingdom, and any deficiency from a sale of the Properties and
the Fishing Rights would cause the Michaels to default on their loans with, inter alia, the Royal
Bank of Scotland.

32. As of October 21, 2013, the Defendants state that their realization costs totaled $160,416.24. The
Plaintiffs state that these costs are improper and unreasonable, as the Defendants have not operated
the Camps at any point since taking possession of them in early May, 2013 under the Collateral
Mortgages and the GSA. When the loans were placed in ‘special loans’ status, the realization costs
were stated to be around $10,000 by RBC.

33. By an Order of the Court dated October 30, 2013, the Defendants were enjoined from disposing of
the Properties and the Fishing Rights until further hearing of this matter, scheduled for November
7, 2013. The Defendants were served with the Notice of Motion (Form 37B), the supporting
affidavits and the Order on October 31, 2013.

34. E&Y has failed to comply with section 64 of the Personal Property Security Act, S.N.B. 1993, c. P-
7.1 by, inter alia, refusing to provide information to the Plaintiffs regarding the sale of the collateral
secured under the GSA and the terms of any proposed sale. The Plaintiffs allege that E&Y has not
taken reasonable care to obtain a proper price for the Properties and the Fishing Rights by refusing
to show the Camps to prospective purchasers arranged by the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting
Advisers.

35. RBC has acted carelessly in its handling of the loans and in its enforcement and attempted realization
of its security. The Defendants should have allowed the fishing camps to operate during the 2013
fishing season, and their continued refusal to open the Camps for business or to show to prospective
purchasers arranged by the Plaintiffs has potentially devalued the security. Any potential deficiency
will have been exacerbated by the Defendants’ detrimental conduct.

36. As a result of the actions of the Defendants, the Plaintiffs have suffered losses and expenses from
not being able to operate the Camps during what would have been a profitable fishing season for
BSCL. The Plaintiffs had confirmed bookings for the Camps in excess of $60,000.00, and further
bookings were within reason given the quality of the fishing during the season. When the Defendants
took possession of the Properties and the Fishing Rights, the Plaintiffs had procured further
investment and were set to open the Camps for the fishing season. BSCL had enough bookings to
bring the Collateral Mortgages current during the fishing season had the Defendants not
unreasonably enforced their security.

37. The Plaintiffs seek relief from the Defendants, RBC and E&Y, jointly and severally, as follows:

(a) An Accounting of all realization costs claimed by the Defendants from May 3, 2013 to the
date of such Accounting;
- 9 -

(b) A declaration that the realizations costs were unnecessary and unreasonable in the
circumstances and therefore should be borne by RBC;

(c) An order that the Defendant, Ernst & Young Inc., be removed as receiver of the assets of
Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited charged under the General Security Agreement dated
September 22, 2011 and registered in the Northumberland County Registry Office as
document number 32758683 on June 12, 2013, pursuant to paragraph 64(7)(b) of the
Personal Property Security Act;

(d) That prior to any proposed sale, the Defendants be ordered to disclose to the Plaintiffs the
particulars of the sale of the Properties and the Fishing Rights pursuant to paragraph 64(2)(d)
of the Personal Property Security Act;

(e) General and Special Damages in an amount to be determined at Trial, for the negligence of
the Defendants in their proposed realization of RBC’s security in the Properties and the
Fishing Rights, when the Defendants knew or ought to have known that their conduct would
cause the Plaintiffs substantial financial and emotional harm;

(f) General and Special Damages for breach of contract, as the cause of the Plaintiffs default on
the Collateral Mortgages (the suspension of fishing on the Main Southwest Miramichi River)
was beyond the reasonable control of the Plaintiffs, was known to RBC and had the effect
of frustrating the Collateral Mortgages. RBC continued to strictly enforce their rights under
the Collateral Mortgages and the GSA against the Plaintiffs despite the frustration of the
Collateral Mortgages;

(g) Costs; and

(h) Such further and other relief as deemed appropriate and just by this Honourable Court.

STATEMENT OF CLAIM

1. The Plaintiff, Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited (“BSCL”), is a body corporate incorporated
under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick on April 2, 2007 as 631019 N.B. Inc.
BSCL’s registered office is located at 111 Main Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

2. The Plaintiffs, Paul Michaels and Charlotte Michaels (collectively “the Michaels”), are
married and reside at Low Newbiggin Estate, Aislaby, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, United
Kingdom. At all material times hereto, the Michaels were the sole directors, officers and
shareholders of BSCL.

3. The Defendant, the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), is a Chartered Bank under the Bank Act,
S.C. 1985, c. 46, with an operating branch located at 504 Queen Street, Fredericton, New
Brunswick.

4. The Defendant, Ernst & Young Inc. (“E&Y”), is an extra-provincial corporation under the
Business Corporations Act, S.N.B. 1981, c. B-9.1, with its registered office located at 222
Bay Street, Suite 3100, Toronto, Ontario.

5. None of the parties are suffering from any legal disability.

6. Beginning in 2007, the Plaintiffs began acquiring real property along the Southwest
Miramichi River in Doaktown at or near Blissfield, New Brunswick, being PID Nos.
40466484, 40041642 and 40038234 (“the Properties”). PIDs 40466484 and 40041642 were
purchased in the name of BSCL, while PID 40038234 was acquired in the Michaels’ names.
During the same period of time, the Plaintiffs acquired access and riparian rights over PIDs
40038531, 40038283, 40038341 (“the Fishing Rights”). In the aggregate, the Plaintiffs spent
over $1,500,000.00 in acquiring the Properties and the Fishing Rights, as the funds were
raised by mortgaging property the Michaels own in the United Kingdom. The Michaels have
extended personal guarantees for these UK based loans.

7. The Michaels operate an Atlantic Salmon Fishing Lodge in the United Kingdom and have
done so since 2001. The Michaels approached RBC beginning in 2007 about obtaining
financing to build high quality fishing camps and a Lodge on the Properties in the Miramichi
(“the Camps”). The Michaels planned to build the Camps with local (New Brunswick) labour
and materials, and would be operated from April 15th until October 15th each year, being
the length of the fishing season.

8. Since 2007, the Michaels have made over one hundred and forty (140) trans-Atlantic flights
negotiate, purchase, construct, market and operate the Camps, all at their own expense.

9. After extensive negotiations with RBC, in August 2011 BSCL obtained a loan in the amount
of $810,000.00 from RBC to begin building the Camps, being document number 30531421
- 5 -

(“the BSCL Mortgage”). On May 4, 2012, the BSCL Mortgage was amended to secure the
principal sum of $1,260,000.00. On September 2, 2011 RBC registered a collateral mortgage
against PID 40038234 (owned by the Michaels) in the amount of $810,000.00, being
document number 30553425 (collectively “the Collateral Mortgages”). The BSCL Mortgage
had a ten year term with interest payable at a rate of 5% per annum, interest only payments
in the first year. The Michaels each provided personal guarantees for the Collateral
Mortgages.

10. By a general security agreement dated September 22, 2011 and registered in the
Northumberland County Registry Office as document number 32758683 on June 12, 2013
(“the GSA”), BSCL granted a security interest to RBC over all of its undertakings, including
the Fishing Rights.

11. BSCL’s business plan, which was known to RBC since 2006, forecasted European guests
paying $1,000.00 per day to attend at the Camps, given the world class fishing available on
the Miramichi River and the high-end accommodations which the Camps would provide.
BSCL began constructing the Camps in August 2011, and construction continued through
the winter until the Camps were completed and opened in late June 2012. The business plan
was discussed in detail with RBC.

12. After opening in late June, the 2012 fishing season was suspended by law on that portion of
the Main Southwest Miramichi River where the Properties and the Fishing Rights are
located. The suspension of fishing lasted from mid-July until mid-September due to low
water caused by a lack of rain. BSCL’s business revolves around providing world class
fishing in its pools, and the extended interruption meant that fisherman did not attend at the
Camps. This was a force majeure event for Blissfield during its first season of operation, and
the lack of cash-flow from fishing operations caused the Plaintiffs to fall behind on the
payments for the Collateral Mortgages, but the Plaintiffs kept RBC aware of these difficulties
and how they would likely impact the first year of operation.

13. RBC allowed BSCL to fall into arrears on the Collateral Mortgages, but advised the Michaels
to inject more capital into BSCL through shareholder advances or through outside
investment. On January 15, 2012, RBC unilaterally moved the Collateral Mortgages into the
‘special loans’ category and increased the interest rate payable to 9% per annum from the
agreed rate of 5%. BSCL never agreed to the change and advised RBC that such action
would only make difficult situation worse This added $4,200.00 per month in unnecessary
expenses for BSCL to cover, which it could not afford. At the time of the change in rates, the
loans were in arrears by 2 months, which in the aggregate was around $5,000.00.

14. The Plaintiffs requested principal and interest relief on the loan payments, which RBC
advised could be arranged under the Canada Small Business Financing Act, S.C. 1998, c.36.
RBC told the Plaintiffs that this relief made sense, and that it could and would be granted.
RBC later found that only principal relief could be obtained. BSCL was not advised of
RBC’s refusal to grant such relief until late April, 2013.
- 6 -

15. The Michaels were unable to invest further funds into BSCL, and sought outside investment.
Phoenix Wood Products Limited (“PWP”), owner of Riverbend Log Homes, supplied BSCL
with the log cabins for the Camps. Aunden Rae (“Rae”) and PWP agreed in principle to
provide a $120,000.00 loan to BSCL (“the PWP Loan”) in December, 2012. The PWP Loan
acknowledged BSCL’s outstanding debt to PWP in the amount of $40,000.00, which left
$80,000.00 to be disbursed in two tranches for operating expenses of the Camps.

16. Throughout the period from mid-January to mid-April 2013, almost every e-mail
communication between the Plaintiffs, PWP and PWP’s counsel was copied to RBC, as they
were kept aware at all times of the discussions and commitment being made by PWP to
provide financing to BSCL.

17. The PWP Loan was conditional on PWP and Rae holding second place security on PIDs
40466484 and 40041642, behind RBC’s security. Further, the PWP Loan was to be used to
cover the ongoing operating expenses of BSCL, not to pay the arrears owed to RBC. The
PWP Loan was secured via a collateral mortgage, a general security agreement and a
promissory note in favour of Rae and PWP, and the Michaels provided personal guarantees.
The collateral mortgage in favour of Rae and PWP was registered in the Northumberland
County Registry Office on April 25, 2013 as document number 32602030.

18. On or around February 20, 2013, RBC issued a Demand for Payment and Notice of Intention
to Enforce Security (“the Demand”) to the Plaintiffs. When RBC made the Demand, the
amount of the arrears alleged owing included principal on the BSCL Mortgage which were
not in fact due, thus the amount demanded was not correct as all that was owed was
$6,144.00, being interest owing under the Collateral Mortgages. The issuing of the Demand
and the Notice of Intention to Enforce Security was improper and contrary to the Bankruptcy
and Insolvency Act and the Personal Property Act. Paul Michaels was in almost daily contact
with RBC via telephone and e-mail about the status of the PWP Loan and the progress that
was being made to bring the Collateral Mortgages current. The Michaels were living in the
United Kingdom, which made face-to-face meetings with RBC difficult but Paul Michaels
would travel to New Brunswick when necessary.

19. On January 13, 2012, RBC was provided an appraisal by Fredericton Appraisal Associates
Ltd. (“FAAL”), showing the Properties and the Fishing Rights to have a value of
$4,634,000.00, which included the value of certain options to purchase PIDs 40038333 and
40462053, which options have not been exercised by the Plaintiffs at present. FAAL
appraised the Properties and Fishing Rights a second time for E&Y on June 18, 2013,
showing the value of the Properties and the Fishing Rights to be $525,000.00.

20. Both prior to and after RBC issued the Demand, the Plaintiffs worked diligently to obtain
financing from PWP, Rae and other sources to cover ongoing expenses. When the Plaintiffs
were successful in obtaining financing from Rae and PWP, they were led to believe that this
would result in the continued forbearance by RBC to see BSCL through the 2013 fishing
- 7 -

season, notwithstanding RBC’s issuing of the Demand. Paul Michaels was dealing with RBC
and its counsel directly, as he had not engaged counsel at this time as he was focusing his
time and resources on raising funds and concluding the PWP Loan, both of which were
paramount to BSCL continuing as a going concern.

21. Throughout February and March of 2013, BSCL was in arrears on its accounts with NB
Power and Aliant. Additionally, the premiums on BSCL’s fire insurance policy for the
Camps through Wilson Insurance were due. Without these services and the insurance policy,
BSCL would not have been able to continue its operations, so payment of these accounts was
crucial to BSCL’s survival and was recommended by RBC. The first tranche of $40,000.00
from the PWP Loan was to be used to pay these accounts so the Camps could open for the
2013 fishing season.

22. The second tranche of the PWP Loan to BSCL was to be disbursed if BSCL was able to keep
its operating expenses current and if BSCL could work through its issues with RBC on a
temporary basis. The Plaintiffs informed RBC of the terms of the PWP Loan immediately
once it was obtained.

23. In April, 2013, PWP/Aunden Rae paid amounts on various accounts for local expenses owed
by BSCL, and the remainder of the first tranche was deposited into BSCL’s operating
account at RBC on April 26, 2013, being $27,973.02 (“the deposit”). Upon receiving the
deposit, RBC immediately froze BSCL’s operating account and applied the whole of the
deposit towards the arrears owed on the Collateral Mortgages. RBC did this despite knowing
that the Loan was to be used for the operating expenses of BSCL, and that the second tranche
was contingent on the Bank forbearing on the Demand.

24. As a result of RBC’s handling of the deposit, PWP and Rae refused to disburse the second
tranche of $40,000.00, as they feared it would be treated in the same fashion as the first
tranche was by RBC.

25. On May 3, 2013, E&Y was appointed as receiver of the assets of BSCL under the GSA by
RBC and has been appointed as RBC’s agent to dispose of the Properties secured by the
Collateral Mortgages. After being appointed on May 3, 2013, E&Y refused to operate the
Camps during the 2013 fishing season, despite BSCL having in excess of $60,000.00 in
confirmed bookings.

26. The 2013 fishing season was a good year, as the fish have returned to the Main Southwest
Miramichi River. There has been a sufficient amount of rainfall to allow for a full season of
fishing on the portion of the River where the Plaintiffs own real property and/or riparian
rights. These facts were made known to RBC and E&Y, but both Defendants refused to
operate the Camps.

27. BSCL retained Global Sporting Advisors in October 2012 to value and market the Properties
and the Fishing Rights. Global Sporting Advisers valued the Properties and Fishing Rights
- 8 -

at $4,600,000, and has suggested that they must be exposed to the market for 12-18 months
before finding the right purchaser. Global Sporting Advisors is confident a suitable purchaser
will emerge due to the nature of the Properties and the facilities which they offer.

28. Global Sporting Advisers has extensive experience in selling Atlantic Salmon fishing
properties on the Main Southwest Miramichi River and elsewhere, and their mandate is to
sell the Properties or to sell the shares of BSCL on behalf of the Michaels. Global Sporting
Advisors has warned that the Properties should not be broken up and sold piece-meal, and
that selling the Properties under distress would result in a much reduced realization for the
Plaintiffs and RBC. Further, Global Sporting Advisers suggested that having the Camps
operational would significantly aid the process of selling the Properties or the shares of
BSCL.

29. E&Y has appointed George Kinsman, C.A., C.I.R.A. to act as receiver, despite Mr. Kinsman
having no experience in selling property similar to that owned by the Plaintiffs. E&Y would
not seek or take the advice of the Plaintiffs or Global Sporting Advisers, as E&Y and RBC
would not operate the Camps during the 2013 fishing season under any circumstances,
despite the bookings BSCL already had for the 2013 season.

30. The Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers arranged for potential purchasers and investors
to come to see the Camps after E&Y was installed as receiver. These proposed visits were
communicated to RBC and E&Y, but each request made to the Defendants to open the
Camps, even for a short period, were refused. The effect of these refusals were that
prospective purchasers of the Properties that the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers had
lined up were turned off by the unreasonable actions of the Defendants.

31. E&Y entered into a sale agreement for the Properties which was set to close on October 31,
2013. When the Plaintiffs asked to attend at the sale and to have information on the
purchaser, the purchased assets or the purchase price, the Defendants refused and advised
that an accounting would be provided in due course. The Plaintiffs have been given no
information regarding the sale of their assets, and have no information to confirm whether
the proposed sale will satisfy their creditors or leave them in a deficiency, which may expose
the Michaels to liability under the personal guarantees on the Collateral Mortgages, the PWP
Loan and the UK based loans.

32. The Plaintiffs claim that the Defendants have not acted in a commercially reasonable manner
both prior to and after E&Y’s appointment as receiver and agent of RBC, and have attempted
to improvidently and negligently realize on the assets of the Plaintiffs. The Defendants’
actions could cause a deficiency from the sale of the Properties and the Fishing Rights.

33. RBC was negligent in its handling of the Plaintiffs’ situation, and have caused significant
expense, damages and losses to be suffered by the Plaintiffs, of both a financial nature and
otherwise. The particulars of RBC’s negligence are as follows:
- 9 -

(a) Failing to renegotiate the Collateral Mortgages when first approached to do so in


2012;

(b) Unilaterally moving the Collateral Mortgages to ‘special status’, thereby raising the
interest rates from 5% per annum to 9%;

(c) Freezing BSCL’s operating account on April 26, 2013 when receiving the remainder
of the first tranche from the PWP Loan, when RBC knew or ought to have known
that BSCL would be unable to pay trade creditors and that the second tranche would
be withheld by PWP/Rae;

(d) Appointing a receiver when it was not reasonable to do so;

(e) Refusing to allow the Plaintiffs to operate the Camps in order to repay the Collateral
Mortgages;

(f) Refusing to allow the Plaintiffs to show the Camps to prospective


purchasers/investors arranged by the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers;

(g) Failing to seek and follow the advice of the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers
as to the proper manner to market the Properties and the Fishing Rights for sale;

(h) Failing to provide the Plaintiffs with any information regarding the realization
process, despite numerous requests for information; and

(i) Attempting to sell the Properties and Fishing Rights in an improper manner.

34. E&Y was negligent after being appointed receiver and agent by RBC, and have caused
significant expense, damages and losses to be suffered by the Plaintiffs, of both a financial
nature and otherwise. The particulars of E&Y’s negligence are as follows:

(a) Refusing to operate the Camps after taking possession of them at the beginning of the
2013 fishing season;

(b) Failing to seek and follow the advice of the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers
as to the proper manner to market the Properties and the Fishing Rights for sale;

(c) Failing to provide the Plaintiffs with sufficient or any information regarding the
realization of RBC’s security interests throughout its receivership; and

(d) Attempting to sell the Properties and the Fishing Rights in an improper manner.

35. The Properties and the Fishing Rights were in no danger when E&Y took possession of
same, and their conduct guaranteed that the Plaintiffs would not be able to bring the
- 10 -

Collateral Mortgages current. If BSCL had been able to operate, they would have access to
the PWP Loan and the cash flow generated this fishing season to bring the Collateral
Mortgages current. The Plaintiffs have suffered damages and losses as a result of the conduct
of the Defendants, but at this time the particulars of such damages and losses are unknown
due to the Defendants refusal to provide information to the Plaintiffs regarding the sale of
the Properties and the Fishing Rights.

36. If the Properties and the Fishing Rights are not sold for a fair and proper price, each of the
Plaintiffs will be petitioned into bankruptcy in Canada (BSCL) and in the United Kingdom
(the Michaels). As stated, the equity used to purchase the Properties and the Fishing Rights
was drawn from the Michaels’ properties in the United Kingdom, and any deficiency from
a sale of the Properties and the Fishing Rights would cause the Michaels to default on their
loans with, inter alia, the Royal Bank of Scotland.

37. As of October 21, 2013, the Defendants state that their realization costs totaled $160,416.24.
The Plaintiffs state that these costs are improper and unreasonable, as the Defendants have
not operated the Camps at any point since taking possession of them in early May, 2013
under the Collateral Mortgages and the GSA. When the loans were placed in ‘special loans’
status, the realization costs were stated to be around $10,000 by RBC.

38. By an Order of the Court dated October 30, 2013, the Defendants were enjoined from
disposing of the Properties and the Fishing Rights until further hearing of this matter,
scheduled for November 7, 2013. The Defendants were served with the Notice of Motion
(Form 37B), the supporting affidavits and the Order on October 31, 2013.

39. E&Y has failed to comply with section 64 of the Personal Property Security Act, S.N.B.
1993, c. P-7.1 by, inter alia, refusing to provide information to the Plaintiffs regarding the
sale of the collateral secured under the GSA and the terms of any proposed sale. The
Plaintiffs allege that E&Y has not taken reasonable care to obtain a proper price for the
Properties and the Fishing Rights by refusing to show the Camps to prospective purchasers
arranged by the Plaintiffs and Global Sporting Advisers.

40. RBC has acted carelessly in its handling of the loans and in its enforcement and attempted
realization of its security. The Defendants should have allowed the fishing camps to operate
during the 2013 fishing season, and their continued refusal to open the Camps for business
or to show to prospective purchasers arranged by the Plaintiffs has potentially devalued the
security. Any potential deficiency will have been exacerbated by the Defendants’ detrimental
conduct.

41. As a result of the actions of the Defendants, the Plaintiffs have suffered losses and expenses
from not being able to operate the Camps during what would have been a profitable fishing
season for BSCL. The Plaintiffs had confirmed bookings for the Camps in excess of
$60,000.00, and further bookings were within reason given the quality of the fishing during
the season. When the Defendants took possession of the Properties and the Fishing Rights,
- 11 -

the Plaintiffs had procured further investment and were set to open the Camps for the fishing
season. BSCL had enough bookings to bring the Collateral Mortgages current during the
fishing season had the Defendants not unreasonably enforced their security.

42. The Plaintiffs seek relief from the Defendants, RBC and E&Y, jointly and severally, as
follows:

(a) An Accounting of all realization costs claimed by the Defendants from May 3, 2013
to the date of such Accounting;

(b) A declaration that the Demand for Payment and Notice of Intention to Enforce
Security issued by RBC on February 20, 2013 to the Plaintiffs was improper and
contrary to the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Personal
Property Security Act;

(c) A declaration that the realizations costs were unnecessary and unreasonable in the
circumstances and therefore should be borne by RBC;

(d) An order that the Defendant, Ernst & Young Inc., be removed as receiver of the
assets of Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited charged under the General Security
Agreement dated September 22, 2011 and registered in the Northumberland County
Registry Office as document number 32758683 on June 12, 2013, pursuant to
paragraph 64(7)(b) of the Personal Property Security Act;

(e) That prior to any proposed sale, the Defendants be ordered to disclose to the
Plaintiffs the particulars of the sale of the Properties and the Fishing Rights pursuant
to paragraph 64(2)(d) of the Personal Property Security Act;

(f) General and Special Damages in an amount to be determined at Trial, for the
negligence of the Defendants in their proposed realization of RBC’s security in the
Properties and the Fishing Rights, when the Defendants knew or ought to have
known that their conduct would cause the Plaintiffs substantial financial and
emotional harm;

(g) General and Special Damages for breach of contract, as the cause of the Plaintiffs
default on the Collateral Mortgages (the suspension of fishing on the Main Southwest
Miramichi River) was beyond the reasonable control of the Plaintiffs, was known to
RBC and had the effect of frustrating the Collateral Mortgages. RBC continued to
strictly enforce their rights under the Collateral Mortgages and the GSA against the
Plaintiffs despite the frustration of the Collateral Mortgages;

(h) Costs on a solicitor-client basis for the filing of the Preliminary Motion (Form 37B)
for the ex-parte and interlocutory injunction and this Action; and
- 12 -

(i) Such further and other relief as deemed appropriate and just by this Honourable
Court.

TRIAL DIVISION

JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF FREDERICTON

BETWEEN:
BLISSFIELD SPORTING CAMPS LIMITED,
PAUL and CHARLOTTE MICHAELS, &
OTHERS
Plaintiffs,

- and-

ROYAL BANK OF CANADA and OTHERS

Defendants.

REPLY TO DEFENCE & COUNTERCLAIM


(FORM 27E)

1. The Plaintiffs admit the allegations contained in paragraph 1 of the Statement of


Defence and Counterclaim.

2. The Plaintiffs deny the allegations contained in paragraphs 2, 3,4,5,6, 7, 8,9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 and 30 of the Statement of
Defence and Counterclaim and puts the Defendants to the strict proof thereof.
- page 2 -

3. As to the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim as a whole, the Plaintiffs state


that the enforcement steps taken by the Defendants outlined in paragraph 17 of the Statement of
Defence and Counterclaim, in particular, the matters outlined in subparagraphs (b) through (z)
inclusive, were not done in a commercially reasonable manner and breached the 'good faith'
offered by The Michaels in offering their 7 years of hard work and over $2.5million Canadian in
equity and properties as security for the Royal Bank loan for the following reasons:

(a) RBC did NOT instruct a valuation post construction of the lodges, nor did
they consider engage or agree to renegotiate or restructure the terms of the
loan, prior to issuing a demand for payment

(b) RBC refused to 'Engage' with the BSCL or its directors or creditors to
resolve the issues.

(c) RBC were advised by the plaintiffs that Stewart McKelvey were in serious
conflict in representing RBC in this matter as they were the plaintiffs
lawyers for a number of cases pertaining to the properties that formed part
of RBC's assignment of security.

(d) E&Y used ARA Fredericton Appraisals to value the BSCL assets. FA
were in Conflict' as Harold Moore a director of FA had been a manager for
Blissfields and had quit during construction of the lodges in May 2012.
Joel LePointe valued the business assets for RBC back in March 2012 at
$4.6m with 2 other pool options, and additional shared time on leased
water but prior to investment of $l.5m of construction.
Without the pool options the additional water held as security by RBC
there was still a minimum value of circa $4m as detailed in GSA's recent
valuation. Neither RBC or Emst & Young questioned or sought a second
opinion on the CAD$4m deficiency in FA's valuations, before proceeding.

(e) RBC and others ignored BSCL the marriage value of Michaels personal
property used as security and the 'Real Property' value associated with the
right to fish for Atlantic Salmon alongside the prestigious new lodges as
set out in BSCL's original business plan used to underwrite the $1.25m
loan.

(f) RBC refused to give BSCL and its directors access to the lodge for Private
showings to BSCL investors.

(g) RBC did not consider using the SBFL of $500k to allow BSCL time to
nurse the business to health
- page 3 -

(h) RBC incurred disproportionate costs, in excess of $240k, compared with


less than $20k of arrears at the time of foreclosure

(i) RBC breached the terms of their agreement with federal governments
SBFL terms

(j) RBC breached their own internal protocols

(k) RBC incurred reckless losses of shareholders funds

(1) RBC refused to accept or recognise BSCL efforts to secure external


funding for Operating Capital

(m) RBC initially refused to accept guarantee or use of funds in a GIC account
to secure further support. When Ernst & Young's 15 July 2013 tender
process failed to secure reasonable bids 0 RBC stated they would now
consider a guarantee. This rendered the entire receivership process
unnecessary and incompetent

(n) RBC and others discouraged pre qualified investors, and enquirers.

(0) RBC Ernst & Young and Others prioritised paying significant and
disproportionate fees to their fishing buddies before protecting BSCL
creditors RBC shareholders funds and investments and future profits in
BSCL

(P) RBC and others could and should have taken into account the length of the
10 year loan. RBC made a clear signal that they would further support
BSCL when they contracted to reduce and extend the loan repayments to
interest only for an additional 12 moths. RBC could have rolled up the
interest or simply taken a longer term view and parked any underpayments
until the business righted itself during 2013 fishing season, and given the
significant equity put forward as security by the Michaels, Clifford Rae
Aunden Rae Phoenix Wood Products , and Springhill Construction
Limited, they had both a MORAL & FIDUCIARY responsibility to do so.

As a result, the Plaintiffs have suffered substantial losses and expense as outlined in its Amended
Statement of Claim
-page 4-

4. The Plaintiffs deny that the Defendants suffered any losses as claimed in
paragraph 29 and 30 of the Statement of Defence and Counterclaim, but states in the alternative,
if the Defendants did suffer any loss, such losses were caused wholly or partly by their own
negligence or the negligence of their agents and advisors in enforcing the Royal Bank of
Canada's security at a time and in such a manner that was not prudent or reasonable to do so

5. The Plaintiffs hold RBC responsible for 'Tortious Interference', 'Irreparable


Harm', 'Mental anguish and torture', 'Improvident realisation' and 'Premature cessation' of their
assets, and financial losses and damages both in Canada and the United Kingdom.

6. The Plaintiffs therefore maintain their claim against the Defendants, and others
jointly and severally, for special and general damages for such unreasonable enforcement
actions, in amounts that will be proven at trial.

7. The Plaintiffs ask that the Counterclaim be dismissed with damages and costs
awarded to them.

Consult for Mr. Paul Michaels


The Old River Lodge
40 Greene Bye Rd
Blissfield, NB

Indentifying key points for change within a functioning professional kitchen


• Limited cold storage areas

• Correct and organised dry goods sections

• Kitchen procedures ,heath and safety notices and training to be conducted

• Kitchen equipment training and maintenance by assigned staff

• Correct stock rotation with facilitating corresponding signage and paperwork

• Food preparation working surfaces

• Food suppliers to be identified and cultivated

• Food collection to be organised efficiently

Key point solutions

• It would be to the benefit of The old river lodge to install a walk in fridge located in the now
present second room currently used for dry food storage . This should include mobile shelving
units for easy visibility of produce and movement within the fridge. Thought should also be given
to correct cleaning practices and a type of drainage included.

• Dry goods and correct organisation of the dry products should be within easy access to the main
kitchen .Extra shelving units may be installed within the main kitchen and possibly the room to the
side may be adjusted for more storage

• Kitchen procedures to be made ready available to all kitchen and catering staff . Dangerous
machines .mixers and blenders etc should have posted safety signs next to the placement of these
machines. On site training and instructions to be given

• Implementation of dry food rotation sheets to cut down food wasted

• Cupboards and shelves to be labelled

• An extra kitchen working surface should be added .A suggestion of a hot plate table placed in
front of the main working stove would be an asset.

• The second stove would be useful as a pastry stove and used during the busy periods .
ERIC NORMAND
CATERING CONSULTANCY

• Sourcing solid suppliers of fresh produce for The old River lodge is a must. Building up loyalty
and therefore good pricing . A produce list of produce to be designed by the lodge for each supplier
to maintain correct ordering and avoid over ordering of supplies.

• Chef to liaise with staff for correct amount of runs for shopping depending on menu and client

The Old River Lodge, New Brunswick

The winter was kind to us in New Brunswick. Snow fall was plentiful and stayed with us well
into April.

Water levels - The Miramichi water table is high and the water is cool. This puts the river in a
much stronger position for a better fishing season than 2013 when the ice ran out early and
we experienced temperatures of 30 degrees C in March.

Opening of the fishing season - Black Salmon Fishing was reputed to be patchy and
commensurate of water levels, although people were chatting about high numbers of salmon
being caught and good numbers of double figure salmon compared to previous years. A fish
of 54 inches was reputed to have been landed in Doaktown. This fish would have been well
in excess of 50 lbs when it first entered the Miramichi system.

Story at Sea - the Atlantic Salmon Trust and their advisors have been monitoring the healthy
numbers of multi sea-winter salmon off the West cost of Greenland. Hopefully many of these
fish will be bound for River in New Brunswick such as the Mighty Miramichi

Lodge Pricing - Given the difficult fishing summer 2012 fishing season which resulted in the
closure of the Miramichi and many of its tributaries, we are reviewing our intended pricing.
We are offering a fully catered all inclusive deal which includes Private fishing, Luxury double
en-suite river view lodging, food and after dinner wine and beer, Luxury airport transfers
and pool transfers, local Taxes and fishing licences for CAD$5600 per person. This price is
per person for 7 nights and 6 days guided fishing. For an extra CAD$150 per person per
night (min two persons) we can offer pre-arranged a headwater fishing experince. This
fishing is tougher and more suited to the more agile and adventurous sports. Fishing for
salmon and seatrout in deep pool, lined with boulders the size of trucks, offers rewarding
but challenging fishing. Mosquito nets required in June and July!!!

Corporate or Hosted packages for up to 8 sports is available at a cost of CAD$58,320.00 per


week. Part weeks start at CAD$25,080.00 for 2 days fishing and 3 nights. Additional days
are charged at CADS$7,600.00. All sports are given King or Queen en-suite River View
rooms. In addition to exclusivity of the lodge and its fishing waters, Corporate packages or
Hosted packages at our lodge, facilitate any additional daily Airport transfers, appropriate
casting tuition, fishing tackle and boat hire. We also provide the use of a board room facility
when required. All corporate guests will be provided with a welcome and souvenir pack. Any
taxes applicable to corporate bookings may be rechargeable. (Please seek professional
financial advice on this matter.) We have allowed for any agency bookings that are not
booked directly with the Lodge. All prices are negotiable subject to the time of year and
availability.

Spey Casting Master Class - Hosted by Walt Geryk of the US and Paul Vernon of the UK, both
professionals of the highest calibre they are fully proficient in Spey Casting tuition on New
Brunswick Rivers. Paul has offered tuition and hosted weeks at The Old River Lodge for many
years. Weeks hosted by either Walt or Paul can be booked directly with the Lodge, price on
application.

Menu - The management of the Lodge have employed the services of one of the most
creative private chefs from Paris. Please find attached Eric Normand's Lodge menu which are
reviewing with our 2012 clients. We are asking for their 'feedback' so that we may sample
amend and implement any changes prior to the opening of the Lodge in June. Please feel
free to comment on the attached menu and provide any suggestions. Perhaps the chicken
lamb and curry are more appropriate for the fall? Please note that all house wines (Red &
White) and house beers are included in our pricing. A champagne reception is provided for
the arrival of all our guests. Sensible consumption is recommended by the lodge
management but not enforced !

Short Breaks - New to 2013 we are now offering 3-4 short breaks (subject to availability)
Prices start from CAD$800 per person per night (fully inclusive) or 2 for 1 if sharing a
room/bed.

Air Fare - We have access to some discounted fares with both Air Canada and Air Transat if
booked in advance prior to 30 May 3013. These fares can provide savings of up to 50% on
last minute published fares.

Commitment - With our commitment to 2 sports and 1 guide per pool coupled with the
access to some cold water pools in tough fishing conditions, we aim to offer you and your
clients, an unparalleled Miramichi fishing experience. All packages and prices are subject to
terms and conditions and availability

We look forward to welcoming you to The Old River Lodge during 2013.

Dear sir or madam:

After meetings and exploratory trips in 2011, Frontiers Travel was eager to work as a booking agent with
Blissfields Sporting Camps and the Old River Lodge. There were a number of bookings at Blissfields made by
Frontiers for the 2012 season, many of which had to be cancelled due to poor weather and fishing conditions.
However, owner Paul Michaels was kind enough to transfer these booking over to the 2013 season at no
additional charge.

This said, we at Frontiers became aware of the receivership status of Blissfields Sporting Camps during the 2013
season, and thus became aware that the destination would be unable to provide services to our clients. Again Mr.
Michaels was kind enough to arrange accommodation for some of our booked clients at an alternate venue at his
expense.

We are aware that Blissfields Sporting Camps and the Old River Lodge are not currently operational, and have
removed these destinations from all Frontiers advertising materials. We will refrain from promoting Blissfields in
any fashion until further notice.

Sincerely,

Stew Armstrong

Hi Paul,

1. I spoke with Fred, he has agreed to send discharge notice to RBC's counsel. How this works, when RBC advances
funds, the discharge will be registered at the same time as the funds are paid to Stewart McKelvey. RBC will be using
McInnes Cooper for our legal work.

2. I spoke with Aundan Rae, based on our conversation, Aundan is moving forward with project. I made it clear to
Aundan, a discussion paper is not a formal approval. However, I committed to Aundan, that if we have a hold up in
obtaining formal approval, I will give him a call directly.

Cheers Steve

Dear Mr Fred McElman

You will confirm that Allison McCarthy Stephen Hutchison of Stewart McKelvey were our legal representatives for
a number of years in relation to specific properties that formed part of the Royal Bank of Canada's assignment of
security for a $1.25m loan.

You will, we are sure, also confirm that you were personally party to the release of the loan as you had to
authorise the release of charges/liens against the properties owned personally by us and offered as guarantee for
the RBC loan. The charges and interest were contested by us but the courts of St John found in your favour after
our lawyer Charlie Bird of Whitehead Bird and Miles failed to prepare an adequate defence for our hearing.

In 2012 it was alleged that you took offence when our company took over the lease of Mercury Island that you had
held with Bill McKinnon and his Co. for many years. As soon as I heard this I immediately paid a visit to your
Miramichi camp and spoke with Mr Ted Flemming, advising him and your other club members of the proper facts
and asking for the opportunity to correct any misinformation, stating that I had personally extended the offer for
you and your members to fish Mercury Island free of charge.

It is my understanding that your sister? is or was, in business with Mr Axel Lerche a gentleman that worked with
Neil Freeman to swindle $20,000 Canadian dollars from me and my wife and interfered with our business and staff
to try to prevent us from building a successful business in New Brunswick after we declined to financially support
his business venture, following his corruptive antics and circulation of negative comments about us.

It was with great surprise for me to hear further allegations that you were involved with the compilation of the
Bamford deed that Gilks bought the rights to, regarding the infamous Island Number 5 (Hogans peninsular an
accretion of land mass opposite Edmunds Pool which was alleged to have been cut off by machinery in recent
times) The legal battle to prove rightful & legal ownership of this pice of real property has cost my wife and I and
the previous owners Steve & Lisa Leary close to $300k, $225k of which was spent with Stewart McKelvey and to
date we have not been awarded title or an opinion that Gilks does not own the property, so this is money 'lost'

It is a total mystery to me why I was instructed by Charlie Bird NOT to give Stewart McKelvey a hard time at the
injunction hearing in Fredericton on the 7th November 2013. Further not to mention other friendships in or out of
the hearing.

On behalf of the creditors of Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited, I seek clarification in the involvement (if any) that

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a7e0265a0d&view=pt&search=inbox&th=1446bb22ec9c6ab7 Page 1 of 2
Gmail - Fwd: Court File No. F/C/253/13 - Blissfield Sporting Camps Limited and Paul & Charlotte Michaels and Others v RBC & Others. 050101 01:04

you may have had (directly or indirectly) in direction given to the Royal Bank's decision that led to the
unreasonable and improvident foreclosure and depressed valuation and recent sale of our year New Brunswick
investment business and properties. This question is a direct result of the Atlantic Salmon fishing trips that I
understand Ross Backman of the Royal Bank of Canada, George Kinsman and Josh McElman have enjoyed on
the Eagle River in Labrador.

I understand that you have personal interest in many fishing camps in New Brunswick Rivers, and ambitions to
have more. With respect, may I ask if Blissfields (The Old River Lodge) or its fishing pools is one of them?

The above information, is based on the facts as we know them and alleged third party information. If correct in
totality then this warranted the definition of a clear and severe conflict with your firm Stewart McKelvey handling
the private sale of our assets. If accurate in part then there is enough of a question mark for SM to have had to at
the very least declared a potential conflict. I will be happy to retract and apologise for any statements that can be
proved to be incorrect.

Please be advised that as of 19th December 2013 our Uk bankers have taken legal steps to repossess our
properties in the UK. These properties took us 13 years to buy and develop and in 'Good faith' were offered as
collateral for the funds used to purchase the New Brunswick properties that we developed with the loan from the
bank. Should we lose our UK properties I promise you that we will stop at nothing to bring redress to those
responsible, including where appropriate charges of 'Tortious Interference and Fraud'

As I have stated we do not wish to cause anyone any unnecessary difficulties and believe there is a simple way
forward. Should you wish to discuss the above in person My wife and I would be please to attend your offices for a
private discussion that would pave the way for an agreeable and commercial solution for all parties which includes
protecting our CAD$4m investment in New Brunswick and repairs the Irreparable harm done to our reputation
throughout this premature and very unprofessional process which has caused my wife an immense amount of
undue mental anguish throughout her pregnancy and the first 5 months of our babies life which should have been
a happy and joyous time.

We wish Darrell Stephenson (the SM lawyer that handled the sale of Blissfield assets) every success in his recent
appointment to the Queens Bench.

Happy New Year

Sincerely

Paul Michaels

Exhibit “Z2”
Tomlinson likens RBS to a vampire

Lawrence Tomlinson, LNT Group


THE Royal Bank of Scotland has been accused of acting like a "vampire" that sucks
cash out of profitable businesses by government adviser and serial entrepreneur
Lawrence Tomlinson.
Appearing before the Treasury select committee yesterday, Yorkshire entrepreneur
Tomlinson told MPs he had gathered evidence from hundreds of businesses that
suggested RBS' Global Restructuring Group (GRG)turnaround division had been
driving profitable firms out of business and seizing their assets.

Mr Tomlinson's appearance followed a report he wrote as the business


department's entrepreneur-in-residence, which accused RBS of operating like a "hit
squad" by withdrawing lines of credit from healthy firms and burdening
them with huge fees so they could seize the firms' assets, normally property, at
discount prices.

The entrepreneur, who had gathered evidence from 200 firms at the time and over
1,000 since then, told MPs that he likened RBS "more to a vampire business" due
to rough practices in its GRG business support programme.

Mr Tomlinson's Leeds-based LNT Group endured a difficult refinancing by RBS and


observers have questioned whether he was the right man for Vince Cable to
appoint to look at how banks treat business customers,
particularly when his report singled out RBS' conduct.

He told MPs yesterday: “When your business was moved into the GRG by whatever
fashion, you were given perhaps a doubling of the bank’s interest rate margin and
lots and lots of fees.”

“The business becomes strangled. It is frustrating to hear talk on ‘zombie firms’. I


liken them more to a vampire business – they are kept in the GRG and as soon as
they get any cash to invest and grow, it is taken out of them.

I have seen firms face charges and fees that are set exactly at the amount that the
firms have made.”

Following Mr Tomlinson's report, RBS chief executive Ross McEwan brought in the
law firm Clifford Chance to examine the claims. The Financial Conduct Authority
has also launched a probe.
