Revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 are down significantly from 2007, reflecting the fact that through the end of May, 2008 the Company's full efforts were focused on executing the first phase of a roll-out of installation of the i-vu Systems. During the third quarter, Broadband Learning attempted to deal with i-vu over i-vu's failure to generate any revenues to date on this venture and i-vu's failure to make a number of payments due to Broadband Learning. On September 8, Broadband Learning received a demand for arbitration from attorneys representing i-vu which seeks termination of the Definitive Collaboration Agreement between i-vu and Broadband Learning. On September 14, the Company decommissioned elements of the Systems that had been installed to date. On September 18, i-vu commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of Utah claiming damages relating to the decommissioning and requesting injunctive relief that would permit i-vu to operate the installed Systems. A hearing was held on September 26 and September 29, following which a ruling was issued on October 9 by the United States District Court denying i-vu's request for injunctive relief. Broadband Learning has filed answers and counterclaims to both the arbitration action and the federal court action in which it denies liability and asserts defences against i-vu's claims, and asserts counterclaims in excess of US$5 million against i-vu. An arbitrator has been appointed in this case and the case will proceed on a schedule determined by the arbitrator. Broadband Learning is now returning its attention to pursuing opportunities and sales in its more traditional areas of distance learning.

Gross Profit for the third quarter and first half of 2008 is down from 2007, reflecting the significant costs of maintaining the i-vu Systems that have not yet begun to generate revenues. In addition during the third quarter, inventory related to the i-vu venture was written down by $166 thousand resulting in a further reduction of Gross Profit for the quarter and the year.

Operating Loss and Net Loss for the third quarter and first half of 2008 all increased significantly from 2007 primarily because very substantial efforts and costs have been invested in this venture, while revenues have not yet commenced.

At a board meeting earlier this week, Edwin Giles submitted his resignation as president of Broadband Learning. Bob Dameron has been appointed president in addition to his responsibilities as CEO. Ed Giles will remain a director of Broadband Learning.
