ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS


We are registering up to 36,061,540 common shares of Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. for resale by the selling shareholders.


On June 7, 2006, in connection with a private placement, we issued warrants to purchase up to 269,000 common shares to Westwind Capital Inc. for its services as lead agent in Canada for a private placement.  Each warrant is exercisable for one common share in the capital of Peace Arch at any time within 48 months following the closing date of the private placement at an exercise price of Cdn$1.21.  If these warrants are exercised in full, we would receive proceeds of Cdn$325,490.  We will use the proceeds from any exercise of these warrants for general working capital purposes consistent with our business strategy.  If Westwind Capital Inc. exercises the warrants, the common shares underlying the warrants will be issued in private placements pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  We have agreed to include the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants in any short form registration statement we file while the warrants or the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants are outstanding.  The warrants themselves are not being offered by this prospectus.


On February 7, 2006, we issued warrants to purchase up to 1,500,000 common shares exercisable at US$0.54 per share with a three-year term, as compensation for services.  The Company issued these warrants in a private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The closing price of our common shares on the AMEX on February 7, 2006 was US$0.58.  If the warrants are exercised in full, we would receive proceeds of US$810,000.  We will use the proceeds from any exercise of warrants for general working capital purposes consistent with our



4

 






business strategy.  If the selling shareholders exercise the warrants, the common shares underlying the warrants will be issued in private placements pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  We have agreed to include the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants in any short form registration statement we file while the warrants or the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants are outstanding.  The warrants themselves are not being offered by this prospectus.


On July 29, 2005, we issued convertible preferred shares with preferred share purchase warrants in a private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The convertible preferred shares were issued at a price of US$0.46 per share.  Each preferred share has attached a preferred share purchase warrant exercisable at US$0.50 with a four-year term.  The closing price of our common shares on the AMEX on July 29, 2005 was US$0.44.  As of August 28, 2006, 2,661,929 of the preferred share purchase warrants have been exercised.  If the remaining 1,685,898 preferred share purchase warrants are exercised in full, we would receive proceeds of US$842,949.  We will use the proceeds from any exercise of warrants for general working capital purposes consistent with our business strategy.  We will not receive any proceeds from the conversion of the preferred shares.  If the selling shareholders exercise the preferred share purchase warrants, the preferred shares underlying the warrants will be issued in private placements pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  If the selling shareholders convert the preferred shares into common shares, the issuance of such common shares will be executed pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The common shares issuable upon conversion of these convertible preferred shares are included in the short form registration statement.  Neither the preferred share purchase warrants nor the preferred shares are being offered by this prospectus.  


As of August 28, 2006, an aggregate of 5,851,133 common shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to our Share Option Plan (amended as of February 8, 2006).   From February 28, 2005 to March 3, 2006, we issued stock options exercisable for up to 618,667 common shares to affiliates who are listed as selling shareholders herein.  These stock options have exercise prices ranging from Cdn$0.47 to Cdn$1.38 and e xpiry dates ranging from February 28, 2008 to August 31, 2010.  If these stock options are exercised in full, we would receive proceeds of Cdn$434,827.  We will use the proceeds from any exercise of these stock options for general working capital purposes consistent with our business strategy.  If the option holders exercise the options, the common shares underlying the options will be issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8.  The stock options themselves are not being offered by this prospectus.

Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc.

We develop, produce and distribute high-quality, proprietary feature films for markets worldwide.  We take ideas, storylines and other creative concepts developed by us or acquired from independent sources and convert those concepts into films.  Recent films include “Tornado”, “Fire”, “Earthquake”, “American Soldier”, “Our Fathers”, and “Shadows in the Sun”.

We reported revenues of $13.4 million for the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 compared to $9.1 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2005 representing an increase of $4.3 million or 47.3% increase compared the same period of the prior year. The following table presents revenues earned in each of our business segments;

Motion Picture revenue for the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 was $4.7 million representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or a 37.1% decrease compared to revenue of $7.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2005. The decrease in revenues primarily reflects the lower number of projects produced by Peace Arch and is associated with Peace Arch’s strategy to prioritize the packaging, financing, and distribution of projects.  This strategy results in lower presale revenues at the time a project is completed and delivered. The revenues for the nine month period arose from sales of distribution rights on programs acquired during the nine months ended May 31, 2006 and on products completed and delivered in prior years.


Television revenue for the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 was $2.3 million representing an increase of $0.6 million from $1.7 million for the same period of the prior year or a 37.6% increase compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to sales made on the TV movie acquisition and TV episodes during the period compared with sales on TV episodes only for the same period of the prior year.

 

Home Entertainment revenue of $6.4 million for the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 represents the revenue recognized from the new kaBOOM business from the date of acquisition. There was no Home Entertainment revenue in the comparable period of the prior year.  


For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, Peace Arch has reported a loss of $1.9 million or $0.10 diluted loss per share compared to earnings of $1.6 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2005 or $0.09 diluted earnings per share.


Diluted loss per share is calculated on 22,074,000 weighted average shares outstanding at May 31, 2006 and 18,693,000 weighted average shares outstanding in the prior year.


Our films are distributed primarily in North America and Europe, directly and through distributors such as Motion Picture Distribution LP in Canada and the UK; BAC Films and TF 1 in France; Telemunschen and Telepool in Germany; and Eagle and Creative Filmhouse in Italy.

As a Canadian-based producer, we benefit from a number of competitive advantages over producers outside of Canada, including favorable Canadian tax and other business incentives.  We believe we will continue to qualify for these tax and business incentives.

We are a modular company, with personnel able to handle production, post-production and almost all of the other aspects of the production and distribution process.  We retain the services and facilities of third parties as necessary and appropriate to each production.  

We have offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, Toronto, Ontario, Los Angeles, California and London, England. Our principal executive office and registered office is located at 124 Merton Street, Suite 407, Toronto, Ontario M4S 2Z2, telephone number (416) 487-0377.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


Business Acquisitions


On April 13, 2006, the Company entered into a binding letter of agreement, as amended on July 7, 2006, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Castle Hill Productions Inc. and Dream LLC, which hold the rights to a library of approximately 500 films with a stated minimum purchase price of US$8,000,000, which is subject to be increased upon completion of the purchase documentation.  The closing of the acquisition has been extended to October 27, 2006.

On August 1, 2006, the Company entered into a financing agreement for a US$20 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the interest rate based upon either the bank’s Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.5% per annum or the bank’s Alternate Base Rate plus 1.5% per annum.  The credit facility matures on July 31, 2010.

RISK FACTORS


You should carefully consider these risk factors and the other information in this prospectus and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2005, which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference, and the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making investment decisions involving our common shares. The risks described below are not the only ones facing Peace Arch. Additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations.


We may be delisted from the American Stock Exchange (AMEX)


On February 10, 2004, we had received notice from AMEX indicating that we were in breach of AMEX’s continued listing standards of maintaining a shareholders’ equity value greater than US$2,000,000 and sustaining losses in two of our three most recent fiscal years; and in breach of maintaining a shareholders’ equity value greater than US$4,000,000 and sustaining losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of our four most recent fiscal years, all as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) and Section 1003 (a)(ii) respectively, of the AMEX Company Guide.  


Over the past two fiscal years we have increased our shareholders’ equity through a combination of an equity issuance and reported profitability for the year ended August 31, 2005.  


For the nine months ended May 31, 2006, we reported a net loss of $1,881,000.  We increased our capital stock by $2,793,000 through the issuance of common shares and the exercise of 2,661,929 Series II



10

 






Preference Share warrants so that the total of our shareholders’ equity remains in excess of US$8,000,000, thereby complying with the AMEX listing standard of maintaining equity greater than US$4,000,000. There is no guarantee that we will be able to continue reporting profitability and that our shareholders’ equity will not decrease again below the AMEX threshold amount. If we incur losses and the losses are significant enough that our shareholders’ equity value declines below the AMEX threshold we could, once again, be in breach of the AMEX listing requirements, which could result in our shares being delisted from the AMEX.


We have had losses, and we cannot assure future profitability


We cannot assure you we will be able to operate profitably. In four of our last five years we have reported losses. We reported profit of $1,449,000 for the year ended August 31, 2005, which was primarily the result of a $2,560,000 one time gain on the settlement of obligations and a $679,000 foreign exchange gain.  For the nine months ended May 31, 2006 we reported a loss of $1,881,000. If we continue to have losses in the future, we may not be able to generate positive cash flows sufficient to finance continuing activities. Our inability to meet those needs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  


Our success depends on factors in the motion picture and television industry.


The business of producing and distributing film and television programming is highly competitive and involves a substantial degree of risk. Revenues derived from the production and distribution of film and television programming depend primarily upon acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. Each film and television program is an individual artistic work, and unpredictable audience reactions primarily determine commercial success. Generally, the popularity of our productions depends on many factors, including the critical acclaim they receive, the actors and other key talent, their genre and their specific subject matter. The commercial success of our productions also depends upon the quality and acceptance of productions that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and all of which may change. We cannot predict the future effects of these factors with certainty, any of which factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Some or all of our proprietary film and television programs may not be commercially successful, resulting in Peace Arch’s failure to recoup its investment or realize its anticipated profits.


Our revenues and results of operations may fluctuate significantly.


Results of operations for any period depend on a number of factors such as on the number of film and television programs that are delivered, the price at which Peace Arch is able to sell them and when the cost of the productions are within budget.  Consequently, results may vary from period to period, and the results of any one period may not indicate results for future periods. In particular, results of operations in any period depend to a large extent upon our production and delivery schedule for television programs and motion pictures.  As a result of the production cycle, our revenues are not recognized evenly throughout any given year.  Cash flows may also fluctuate and may not directly correspond with revenue recognition.


Our business requires a substantial investment of capital.


Our ability to maintain and expand our development, production and distribution of proprietary programming and to cover our general and administrative expenses depends upon our ability to obtain financing through equity financing, debt financing (including credit facilities) or the sale or syndication of some or all of our interests in certain projects or other assets.  If our access to existing credit facilities is



11

 






not available, and if other funding does not become available to replace existing credit facilities should they not be available, there could be a material adverse effect on our business.


We are subject to risks associated with possible acquisitions, business combinations, or joint ventures.


From time to time we engage in discussions and activities with respect to possible acquisitions, business combinations, or joint ventures intended to complement or expand our business.  We may not realize the anticipated benefit from any of the transactions we pursue.  Regardless of whether we consummate any such transaction as well as the integration of the acquired business could require us to incur significant costs and cause diversion of management’s time and resources.  Events and circumstances subsequent to such transaction could also result in impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, development write-offs and other related expenses.  Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


We may be unable to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to the assessment by us of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and our assessment may identify material weaknesses and may result in an attestation with an adverse opinion from our auditors, each of which could adversely affect our reputation and share price.


Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 and related regulations presently requires that for the year ended August 31, 2007, we will be required to perform an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting and have our auditors attest to such evaluations on an annual basis.  We have been and still are evaluating our internal control systems to allow our management to report on, and our auditors to attest to our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we have incurred additional expenses in fiscal 2006 and a diversion of our management’s time.  The SEC has proposed an extension of the compliance date for non-accelerated foreign private issuers to the first fiscal year following December 15, 2007.  This proposal has not been finalized as of the date of this document.


There can be no assurance that we will complete the necessary work to comply with all aspects of Section 404 and related regulations in a timely manner.


Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting may cause us to be unable to prevent or detect material misstatements in a timely manner. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting identifies material weaknesses that must be disclosed, we may receive an attestation with an adverse opinion from our auditors as to the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, potential acquisitions of businesses that are currently not in compliance with Section 404 requirements could lead to disclosures on currently unforeseen deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. This could adversely affect our ability to comply with business combinations accounting procedures in preparing our consolidated financial results. Each of these consequences could reduce the market’s confidence in our financial statements and negatively affect the price of our shares.


While we believe that we will be able to meet the required deadlines, no assurance can be given that this will be the case.  If we fail to complete this evaluation within the required time frame, or fail to remedy any identified material weakness or if our auditors render an adverse attestation, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and loss of public confidence in our internal controls.  All of these factors may cause our stock price to decline.

The potential for budget overruns and other production risks are difficult to predict


Actual production costs may exceed budget, perhaps significantly, due to factors within or beyond our control.  These factors may delay or prevent completion of a production.  If there are significant cost overruns, we may have to seek additional financing to complete the production.  Financing on terms acceptable to us may not be available.  We may be unable to recoup the additional costs, which could have a material adverse impact on operating results and liquidity.  Productions are bonded and, if necessary, calling upon the bonder to complete can mitigate any significant cost overrun or risk of completion.


We rely on a few key customers


Revenue of Peace Arch is generated in part due to production activities in numerous countries.    We have several primary customers who purchase distribution rights to the filmed product we sell.  We also have several large customers through which we distribute our home entertainment product. The percentages of total revenues from each primary customer can be seen in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2005 incorporated herein by reference and our consolidated financial statements and Management  Discussion & Analysis filed on Form 6K on August 31, 2006 (Film No. 061068148) for the period ended May 31, 2006.


Sales of outstanding shares may hurt our stock price.


A substantial number of our outstanding shares are held by a relatively small number of shareholders. There will be 42,391,986 common shares, including 1,769,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, 8,695,654 shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares and 618,667 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, outstanding as of August 28, 2006, eligible for sale after the effective date of this prospectus.   If the warrants and stock options that are registered in this prospectus and the underlying common shares sold, the market price for our common shares could fall substantially if our selling shareholders sell our common shares in the public market.  In addition, such sales may create the perception by the public of difficulties or problems with our products and services or management.  Sales of these shares could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.


Management’s forecasts for future revenues supporting film book values may not be achieved.


Investments in film and television programming are amortized against revenues in the ratio that current revenues bear to management’s estimate of ultimate revenues for each program pursuant to the Statement of Position (“SOP-002”) issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  As a result of our policy we typically amortize a minimum of 80% of the costs over a three-year period.  Management periodically reviews its estimates and adjusts the amortization of our programming accordingly.  In the event that management should determine that the capitalized costs for a program exceed its fair value, capitalized costs would be written down in the current period, resulting in a corresponding decrease in earnings.


We could lose certain benefits by failing to meet certain government incentive programs


We currently finance a portion of our production budgets through Canadian and United States government agencies and incentive programs, including federal and provincial tax credits, as well as through similar international arrangements in the case of our international co-productions.  These tax credits combined can represent approximately 20% of an individual production budget.  We will continue to qualify for these tax credits if, among other things, Canadians beneficially own or control a majority of the voting rights of Peace Arch. If Canadians fail to beneficially own or control a majority of our voting



13

 






rights at any time, we could lose such tax incentives and the costs of our productions would increase substantially. Canadian law requires Canadian conventional, specialty, pay and pay-per-view television services to devote a certain amount of their programming schedules, including prime time, to Canadian productions. If we fail to qualify as a Canadian producer, it would be more difficult to obtain time slots in Canada for our programming, a "slot" being a broadcast time period for a program. We believe we will continue to qualify as a Canadian producer for this purpose as long as, among other things, Canadians beneficially own or control a majority of our voting rights. These incentive programs, including federal and provincial tax credit programs, may be amended or eliminated in the future, which could result in a material increase in the effective cost of our productions. The loss or elimination of these tax and business incentives would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


We are smaller and less diversified than many of our competitors.


Although we are an independent distributor and producer, we compete with major U.S. and international studios. Most of the major U.S. studios are part of large diversified corporate groups with a variety of other operations, including television networks and cable channels that can provide both means of distributing their products and stable sources of earnings that may allow them better to offset fluctuations in the financial performance of their film and television operations. In addition, the major studios have more resources with which to compete for ideas, storylines and scripts created by third parties as well as for actors, directors and other personnel required for production. The resources of the major studios may also give them an advantage in acquiring other businesses or assets, including film libraries, that we might also be interested in acquiring.  The foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Our revenues and results of operations are vulnerable to currency fluctuations.


Peace Arch receives a portion of its revenues from U.S. and international sources in U.S. dollars while its operating costs and production costs of film and television programming is primarily denominated in Canadian dollars.  Accordingly, results of operations can be affected by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate.  The results of these fluctuations may be material.  To date, we have not entered into any material currency hedging instruments.  In addition, we have not maintained significant amounts of U.S. dollar balances in order to reduce the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.


Our revenues and results of operations are subject to interest rate fluctuations.


Peace Arch borrows funds from banks and other financial institutions to finance the production costs of its film and television programming that is generally incurred in advance of contracted receipts and revenues from these programs.  These loans usually bear interest at rates that change as market interest rates fluctuate.   A rise in interest rates would cause an increase in costs to produce film and television programs and an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


The loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business.


Our success depends to a significant degree upon the services of certain key personnel, particularly Gary Howsam, our Chief Executive Officer. Because we are a relatively small company, these members of management are involved in many aspects of the production process and virtually all significant decisions are made or significantly influenced by these individuals. The loss of the services of any one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we have obtained and intend to maintain "key man" life insurance coverage with respect to these personnel, there is no assurance that the proceeds would be sufficient to compensate fully for the loss of the services of any of these individuals if they were to die. The loss of services of any of these employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.



14

 







We could be adversely affected by strikes or other union job actions.


The film and television programming produced by us generally employ actors, writers and directors who are members of the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild of America and Directors Guild of America, respectively, pursuant to industry-wide collective bargaining agreements. The collective bargaining agreement with the Writers Guild of America was successfully renegotiated and became effective as of November 1, 2004 for a term of three years. The collective bargaining agreements with the Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild of America were each successfully renegotiated and became effective as of July 1, 2005 for a term of three years. Many productions also employ members of a number of other unions, including, without limitation, the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees, the Teamsters and the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists. A strike by one or more of the unions that provide personnel essential to the production of motion pictures or television programs could delay or halt our ongoing production activities. Such a halt or delay, depending on the length of time, could cause a delay or interruption in our release of new motion pictures and television programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


Piracy of motion pictures, including digital and internet piracy may reduce the gross receipts from the exploitation of our films.


Motion picture piracy is extensive in many parts of the world, including South America, Asia, the countries of the former Soviet Union and other former Eastern bloc countries. Additionally, as motion pictures begin to be digitally distributed using emerging technologies such as the internet and online services, piracy could become more prevalent, including in the U.S., because digital formats are easier to copy. As a result, users can download and distribute unauthorized copies of copyrighted motion pictures over the internet. In addition, there could be increased use of devices capable of making unauthorized copies of motion pictures. As long as pirated content is available to download digitally, many consumers may choose to download such pirated motion pictures rather than pay for motion pictures. Piracy of our films may adversely impact the gross receipts received from the exploitation of these films, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


We face additional risks from doing business internationally.


We distribute our film and television programming outside the United States and Canada through third party licensees and derive revenues from these sources. As a result, our business is subject to certain risks inherent in international business, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the currency fluctuation risks described above, these additional risks include: changes in local regulatory requirements, including restrictions on content; changes in the laws and policies affecting trade, investment and taxes (including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and to withholding taxes); differing degrees of protection for intellectual property; instability of foreign economies and governments; cultural barriers; and wars and acts of terrorism. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


Protecting and defending against intellectual property claims may have a material adverse effect on our business.


Our ability to compete depends, in part, upon successful protection of our intellectual property. We do not have the financial resources to protect our rights to the same extent as major studios. We attempt to protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to our productions through available copyright and trademark laws and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable international companies in specific territories and media for limited durations. Despite these precautions, existing copyright and trademark laws afford only limited practical protection in certain countries. We also distribute our



15

 






products in other countries in which there is no copyright and trademark protection. As a result, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy and distribute our productions or certain portions or applications of our intended productions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


Litigation may also be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We cannot assure you that infringement or invalidity claims will not materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Regardless of the validity or the success of the assertion of these claims, we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in enforcing our intellectual property rights or in defending against such claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


Because we are a Canadian corporation, it may be difficult to sue us or to enforce a judgment against us


We are a Canadian corporation with our principal place of business in Toronto, Ontario.  Substantially all of our directors and executive officers and some of the experts named in this report are not residents of the U.S. and virtually all of the assets of these persons and substantially all of our assets are located outside the U.S.  As a result, it may not be possible for you to serve summons and complaints within the U.S. upon these persons or upon us.  Similarly, it may not be possible to enforce in U.S. courts, against such persons or against us, judgments of U.S. courts based upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws.  In addition, it may be difficult in Canadian courts for you, in original suits or in suits for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, to enforce civil liabilities based upon U.S. federal or state securities laws against us or our directors or executive officers, or our experts.  We have appointed National Registered Agents, Inc. of Washington, D.C., to act as agent for service of process in any action in any U.S. federal or state court brought against us under the securities laws of the U.S.



USE OF PROCEEDS


The selling shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of common shares offered by this prospectus.  Peace Arch will not receive any of the proceeds from the disposition of the common shares covered by this prospectus.


If any of the common share purchase warrants, any of the remaining 1,685,898 outstanding Series II Preference Share warrants or any of the stock options issued to affiliates pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (amended as of February 8, 2006) are exercised, we will receive the exercise price of such warrants or options, as applicable.  The maximum aggregate exercise price for such warrants is approximately US$842,949 and for the options is approximately Cdn$434,827, which will be used for general working capital purposes consistent with our business strategy.  The selling shareholders are under no obligation to exercise the warrants and there can be no assurance that the selling shareholders will do so.  If any of the convertible preferred shares are converted to common shares, we will not receive any proceeds as a result of such conversion.

In January 2003 we acquired a portfolio of assets owned and controlled by CPC Communications Inc. (“CPC”) of Toronto, Canada, and/or its subsidiaries for $2.5 million, the consideration being the issuance of 8,333,333 of our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of $0.30 per share (the “Asset Acquisition”).  CPC was a private company which was controlled by the family of Gary Howsam.  Mr. Howsam was a shareholder, director and officer of the Company.  The assets included “Film Production Company Assets” as defined below and certain assigned receivables of CPC (the “Assets”).


The Film Production Company Assets we acquired from Greenlight Film and Television Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CPC (“Greenlight”) included five films held by single purpose companies that qualify as Canadian content as determined by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, four of which were produced under tax treaties between Canada and the UK.  The films had aggregate Canadian budgets of approximately $22.8 million.  The five companies were wholly owned by Greenlight and their feature films are described as follows:


1.

GFT Crime Spree Films Inc. was the producer of a feature film “Crime Spree”, a caper comedy starring Gerard Depardieu and Harvey Keitel, and directed by Brad Mirman.


2.

GFT Absolon Films Inc. was the producer of a feature film “Absolon”, a futuristic thriller starring Christopher Lambert and Lou Diamond Philips.  


3.

GFT Rough Rider Films Inc. was the producer of “Partners in Action”, an action thriller starring Armand Assante and directed by Sidney J. Furie.



19

 







4.

GFT Detention Films Inc. was the producer of “Detention”, an action thriller starring Dolph Lundgren and directed by Sidney J. Furie.


5.

GFT Limit Films Inc. was the producer of “The Limit”, a suspense film starring Lauren Bacall and Claire Forlani and directed by Lewin Webb.


The above single purpose production companies (collectively the “Prodcos”) owned majority copyright and certain residual rights to the above noted feature films.  Prior to closing of the Asset Acquisition, CPC had agreed to transfer 100% of the shares of the Prodcos to Peace Arch Motion Pictures Inc. (“PAMP”) and upon closing of the Asset Acquisition we acquired 100% of the shares of PAMP.


Warrants


On June 7, 2006, in connection with a private placement, we issued 269,000 broker warrants to Westwind Capital Inc. for their services acting as lead agent in Canada for the private placement.  Each warrant is exercisable for one common share in the capital of Peace Arch at any time 48 months from the closing date of the private placement at an exercise price of Cdn$1.21.


On May 25, 2006, 726,032 Series II Preference Share warrants were exercised at a subscription price of US$0.50 per share for total proceeds of US$363,016.


On April 26, 2006, 500,000 Series II Preference Share warrants were exercised at a subscription price of US$0.50 per share for total proceeds of US$250,000.  


On February 7, 2006, 1,500,000 common share purchase warrants were issued to Trilogy Capital Partners Inc. (Trilogy) for the development and implementation of a proactive marketing program.  The warrant entitles the holder to purchase from Peace Arch at any time prior to February 6, 2009, one share of the common stock of Peace Arch at an exercise price of US$0.54 per share.  The warrants shall vest and become exercisable as follows (a) 1,000,000 warrants vested on February 7, 2006; and (b) 500,000 warrants vest on February 8, 2007 provided that Trilogy’s engagement pursuant to the Letter of Engagement dated February 7, 2006 shall not have been terminated other than termination by Trilogy as a result of breach by the Company.


On December 30, 2005, 1,435,897 Series II Preference Share warrants were exercised at a subscription price of US$0.50 per share for total proceeds of US$717,948.  


On July 29, 2005, in connection with a private placement, we issued 4,347,827 Series II Preferred Share warrants.  Each warrant is convertible into one Series II Preference Share of Peace Arch at a price of US$0.50 at any time up to July 29, 2009.  


Dividends


The Preference Shares shall be entitled to priority over the Common Shares and over any other shares of Peace Arch ranking junior to the Preference Shares with respect to the payment of dividends (and in the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Peace Arch, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of Peace Arch among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs. The Preference Shares of any series shall be given such other preferences and rights over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preference Shares as may be determined in the case of such series of Preference Shares. No rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to a series of Preference Shares shall confer upon a series a priority over any other series of Preference Shares in respect of dividends or return of capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Peace Arch).  Each preference share carries a 10%


20

 






cumulative annual dividend.


Subject to any preferences and rights of the holders of the Preference Shares (including without limitation any preferences or rights attached to any existing or future series of Preference Shares) and any other shares ranking senior to the Common Shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends, the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends, and we shall pay dividends thereon, as and when declared by our board of directors in such amount and in such form as our board of directors may from time to time determine, and all dividends which our board of directors may declare on the Common Shares shall be declared and paid in equal amounts per share on all Common Shares at the time outstanding.


Stock Options


An aggregate of 5,851,133 common shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to our Share Option Plan (amended as of February 8, 2006) (the “Plan”).


We offer our common shares at no par value, pursuant to awards in the form of stock options under the Plan.  The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging equity participation in the Company through acquisition of Common Shares by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

The original Plan was adopted by Peace Arch on July 19, 1997 and was amended on July 14, 1999, February 22, 2001 and January 31, 2003. The current version of the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) as of November 29, 2005 and became effective as of the date it was approved by the shareholders of the Company and the Toronto Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or any securities regulatory body or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company.  

On May 30, 2006, Peace Arch filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Statement No. 333-134552) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering an aggregate of 4,586,154 common shares, no par value, of the Corporation issuable upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan.

MARKET PRICE HISTORY OF OUR COMMON SHARES


Prior to March 10, 2004, we had two classes of shares outstanding: Class A Multiple Voting Shares having ten (10) votes each and Class B Subordinate Voting Shares having one (1) vote each. Effective March 10, 2004, the share capital was restructured such that all authorized and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares were reconstituted as common shares share having one (1) vote each, on the basis of one common for each Class A or Class B Share.  Except where indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes this reconstitution of Class A Shares and Class B Shares into common shares effective March 10, 2004.  For



21

 






simplicity, in this prospectus the Class A Shares and Class B shares are collectively referred to as common shares except where the context otherwise requires.


Our Class A Multiple Voting Shares and Class B Subordinate Voting Shares historically traded on the TSX under the symbols PAE.A and PAE.B respectively.  Our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares also historically traded on the AMEX under the symbol PAE.  


Following the share reclassification described above, effective March 16, 2004, our common shares traded on the TSX under the symbol “PAE.LV” and on AMEX under the symbol “PAE”.  Effective June 14, 2006, our TSX symbol no longer carried the prefix .LV.


Information regarding the price history of the stock to be offered or listed shall be disclosed as follows: (a) for the five most recent full financial years: the annual high and low market prices; (b) for the two most recent full financial years and any subsequent period; the high and low market prices for each full financial quarter; and (c) for the most recent six months; the high and low market prices for each month.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION



The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common shares on any stock exchange (including the TSX and the AMEX), market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. In addition, the selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:


¨

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

¨

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

¨

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

¨

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;



29

 






¨

privately negotiated transactions;

¨

settlement of short sales;

¨

broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

¨

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

¨

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade. If any such method of distribution takes the form of an underwritten offering, the selection of the underwriter by the selling shareholders shall be subject to the consent of Peace Arch.


In connection with sales of the common shares offered by this prospectus or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. These broker-dealers may in turn engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging their positions. The selling shareholders may also sell the common shares short and deliver common shares to close out short positions, or loan or pledge common shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the common shares.


The common shares may be sold in one or more transactions at:

   

¨

fixed prices,

¨

prevailing market prices at the time of sale or prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale,

¨

varying prices determined at the time of sale, or

¨

negotiated prices.


The selling shareholders might not sell any or all of the common shares offered by it using this prospectus. The selling shareholders might instead transfer, devise or gift any common shares by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any common shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A rather than pursuant to this prospectus.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.


The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the common shares offered by this prospectus will be the purchase price paid for such securities, less discounts and commissions, if any. The selling shareholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, reject, in whole or in part any proposed purchase of common shares to be made directly or through agents.


The selling shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.


The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In



30

 






such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. If the selling shareholders are deemed to be underwriters, the selling shareholders may be subject to certain statutory liabilities, including, but not limited to, those under Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.  We have advised the selling shareholders of such potential liabilities.  To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the common shares offered hereby. In addition, each selling shareholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the AMEX under Rule 153 of the Securities Act.  


Under the securities laws of some states, the common shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common shares stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


Peace Arch anticipates that each selling shareholder will offer for sale all of the common shares that he, she, or it acquires. However, there can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the common shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.


Each selling shareholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares.  We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales of the common shares offered hereby.


Pursuant to certificates provided to us by the selling shareholders and/or the registration rights provisions Peace Arch has entered into with the selling shareholders for the common shares, each of Peace Arch and the selling shareholders will be indemnified by the other against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or will be entitled to contribution in connection with these liabilities.


Other than selling commissions and fees and stock transfer fees, we have agreed to pay all of the expenses of the registration of the common shares.


Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the common shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.


We may suspend the use of this prospectus for any period and at any time, including, without limitation, in the event of pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC, and similar events.



EXPENSES OF THE ISSUE


We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the common shares, including the registration fees.

LEGAL MATTERS


Richard Watson, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, will pass on the validity of the shares offered under this prospectus.  Mr. Watson is a director of Peace Arch and a member of each of Peace Arch’s Executive/Corporate Governance Committee and Greenlight Committee.  As of August 28, 2006, Mr. Watson beneficially owned 1,250,000 common shares of Peace Arch.   Mr. Watson is listed as a selling shareholder herein.


EXPERTS


The consolidated balance sheets as of August 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statements of earnings (loss), deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2005, incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended August 31, 2005, incorporated by reference in this prospectus, have been incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”), independent chartered accountants, given upon the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.  PWC’s address is PricewaterhouseCoopers Place, 250 Howe Street, 7th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3S7 Canada.  


ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES


The enforcement by purchasers of the common shares offered in this prospectus of civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States may be adversely affected by the fact that Peace Arch is a Canadian corporation, many of its directors and shareholders are residents of Canada, and the majority of

Peace Arch assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such other persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for purchasers to affect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to realize against them in the United States upon judgments of courts

of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under securities laws of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada against Peace Arch or its directors or officers who are not residents of the United States in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts of liabilities predicated upon federal securities laws of the United States.

ITEM 8.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company may indemnify a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or such other corporation and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Such indemnification may be made in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Company or such other corporation to procure a judgment in its favor only with court approval. A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from the Company as a matter of right if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.

The by-laws of the Company provide that:

Standard of Care – Every director and officer of the Company in exercising his powers and discharging his duties shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.  Every director and officer of the Company shall comply with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the regulations, articles, by-laws and any unanimous shareholder agreement.


Limitation of Liability – Provided that the standard of care required of him has been satisfied, no director or officer shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee, or for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity, or for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Company through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired for or on behalf of the Company, or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the monies of the Company shall be invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious acts of any person with whom any of the monies, securities or effects of the Company shall be deposited, or for any loss occasioned by any error of judgment or oversight on his part, or for any other loss, damage or misfortune which shall happen in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto, unless the same are occasioned by his own willful neglect or default.


Indemnity of Directors and Officers – Subject to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company shall indemnify a director or officer of the Company, a former director or officer of the Company or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation or body corporate if,



36

 







  a)

he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company; and


  b)

in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.

The Corporation shall indemnify such person in all such other matters, actions, proceedings and circumstances as may be permitted by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) or the law.


Insurance – Subject to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company may purchase and maintain such insurance for the benefit of any person entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding section as the board may from time to time determine.  The Company has purchased third party director and officer liability insurance for the benefit of any director, officer, or certain other persons, as such, against any liability incurred by the individual in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or as a director or officer of any body corporate where the individual acts or acted in that capacity at the Company’s request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


        1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:  


        (a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;  

  

        (b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of the prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and  

  

        (c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;  


provided, however, that paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.  

  

        2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  

  

        3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.  

 

        4. To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F (17 CFR 249.220f) at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial

statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

  

        5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.


        6. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  

  

        7. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has theretofore been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
