PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business.

Summary

Validian Corporation provides software products to assist public and private enterprises address the increasingly complex issues surrounding application security.  Validian ASITM is an application-security software system that helps to protect the exchange of information at the application layer, where the majority of breaches occur, and helps to protect mission-critical applications against hack attacks and unauthorized access, which often occur at the hardware and software perimeter.  Validian ASI makes secure data exchange among applications, including distributed applications, straightforward and affordable for any organization, regardless of size and resources.  Validian ASI facilitates security audit compliance and assurance, whether mandated by government, industry or internal policy; helps to prevent impersonation through application authentication and authorization; delivers confidentiality through application authentication and authorization; and delivers confidentiality through end-to-end encryption of all exchanges, so that data never travels “in the clear”.  Incorporated in the United States, Validian has offices in the United States and Canada.

Our Technology

Our technology is based upon our intellectual property and was used to develop our products.


Our Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property includes an addressing scheme, an authentication process and a key exchange process for all parties to a communication, thus offering an authentication model for secure data exchanges. It also includes an encryption function using standard algorithms that encrypts data from within an originating application and decrypts the data within the receiving application.


Our technology provides benefits, by enabling users:


*

to integrate security and transport in all communication and document exchanges through an integrated approach; and

*

to develop and use existing interactive, distributed applications (like e-commerce, e-banking, e-health and e-loyalty) with an integrated security model.


Based on this technology, we have developed the products described below.

Target Market

Our business strategy is to license our technology either directly or through distribution channels to medium to large organizations that develop, market, sell, distribute or use software products where interaction with a distributed customer, employee and/or partner base is essential.  This includes:


*

IT departments that serve their organization with a variety of applications and implementation environments, according to the needs of the various internal departments. This implies writing applications to ensure the security of communication between applications and over distributed networks; and


*

independent software vendors and developers serving a relatively large group of customers, on a regional or national basis and who must respond to a variety of conditions and platforms, as imposed by their customers in specific industrial sectors and secure the exchanges between their customers’ partners, suppliers and other participants.



5




Potential customer industrial sectors include, among others:


*

post-production houses, studios and production companies in the digital media industry;

*

transportation industry;

*

manufacturers in supply management chains;

*

health care providers and suppliers;

*

governments;

*

financial institutions and insurance companies; and

*

software distribution services.


Marketing Strategy and Distribution Channels


We have initiated a marketing program in North America to bring our products to the marketplace. This program has two components: direct and channel sales.


Direct Sales

The direct sales approach entails making high-level contacts within the organizations of target customers to present the benefits and competitive advantages of our products.  Leads to such presentations are generated through existing contacts of management and sales representatives, and through attendance at and participation in specialized e-commerce and computer security trade shows, and the presentation of the benefits of our products in technical seminars attended by personnel with a mandate for application security.  


Channel Sales

In order to penetrate the market for our products, we are attempting to partner with value-added resellers ("VARs"), independent marketing representatives (“IMRs”), system integrators (“SIs”), independent software vendors (“ISVs”) and application service providers (“ASPs”).  Potential partners are identified based upon their ability to penetrate specific markets more easily than we can. We believe major customers also will act as VARs in their sector.  


Sales representatives and sales agents are promoting our products within these two channels.  The representatives are responding to queries and expressions of interest from those interested in becoming early adopters of our working models.  These early customers and distributors may have an impact on the product development schedule, as we will develop interfaces with users’ existing systems in response to their feedback and individual requirements.


Currently, we have agreements with IMRs and SIs in the U.S.


Marketing Analysis

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we utilized the services of industry specialists in the health care, government, supply chain management and entertainment sectors. Their mandate was to identify specific areas and a limited number of organizations where our products would facilitate secure communication and the implementation of a strong security infrastructure with ease of deployment and management.


To support our sales force and these specialists, we have developed technical literature on the following topics:


*

security;

*

features and benefits;



6




*

integration into current systems;

*

openness of the architecture;

*

future developments; and

*

implementation procedures.


Estimated Sales Cycles

We expect that individual sales cycles will be from four to eight months in duration.  The territories where most potential customers reside are expected to be in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.  We started building our sales team by retaining two sales representatives during the third quarter of 2002.  At March 30, 2007 we had a vice president of sales and one sales representative.


Marketing Expenses

The main expense factors for our marketing campaign are for:


*

personnel, both internal and outside specialists;

*

buying or renting lists of potential customers for direct marketing campaigns;

*

direct marketing to potential customers;

*

participation in trade shows;

*

travel and living expenses;

*

Web site development and maintenance; and

*

literature preparation and distribution.


For more information, please see "Part II. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation; Plan of Operations.”


Our Products

Currently, we offer three main products on a commercial basis.


Our Application Security Infrastructure (ASI)

Our ASI is an application security framework for securing data transport between distributed applications and Web services. ASI is specifically designed to secure communication between distributed applications and distributed networks. It automatically manages all critical security functions for any application, including authentication, encryption, key generation, key distribution, addressing and data transport. ASI delivers messages and files to, and only to, the target destination, and data never travels “in the clear” at any time between applications.


Supplemental to our ASI product, we offer a Software Development Kit (SDK), for rapidly and simply securing data transport between applications through ASI. The SDK includes a complete, integrated and built-in set of control, transport and security features, which are automatically inherited by any applications linked to ASI through the SDK.  Application developers who use the Validian SDK do not have to learn and master any of the various transport and security products or mechanisms to implement security on their applications.  Our SDK establishes low-level IP addresses and ports, and implements complex security features automatically.  This provides the application with a complete communication security chain, as the ASI protection initiates from within the originating application and transports data to within the destination application.  The SDK is offered free of charge to qualified developers and system integrators.






7




Our Secure Send & Receive (SSR)


Our Secure Send & Receive (SSR) product transforms a user’s desktop or mobile PC into a secure communication facility for uploading sensitive, proprietary information to a shared repository.  The solution also transforms any server into an efficient download manager that simplifies the distribution of proprietary files to authorized users.  Our SSR protects file exchanges against malicious interference, interception by rogue applications and unwanted leaks.


Our Biometric Media Seal (BMS)


Our Biometric Media Seal (BMS) product is designed and developed specifically to prevent hacking, theft and piracy of digital media including films, videos, television programs and music during the production and post-production process.


Our BMS solution enables post-production houses, studios and production companies:


*

to authenticate project workers using fingerprint signatures;

*

to store media files in encrypted form on portable media storage drives

*

to transfer encrypted media files of any size and any format between

Authenticated workers and/or reviewers across the Internet;

*

to track media file activity such as create, rename, modify, transfer and

Delete, transparently and in real-time over the Internet; and

*

to set universal policies which govern security and tracking levels applied on a

per project basis.


Competition

There are different competitors for the ASI, SSR and BMS markets.


ASI competition

Our ASI product competes primarily with the products described below.


VPN

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) is a technology that ensures a secure communication link between two devices linked to the Internet or any communication network. This type of network security ensures that between those two hardware devices, the data cannot be intercepted and tampered with.


The main supplier of VPN is Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., but a number of suppliers are also offering competing products.


PKI

Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) is a sophisticated method of authenticating communicating parties by providing each party with a set of two uniquely linked keys, one private key that is kept by the party and one public key that is published for every one to see. When communicating, messages are encrypted with the private key of the sender and decrypted by the receiver using the public key of the sender. Since both keys are mathematically linked, the receiver is assured that the message is coming from that sender and nobody else.




8




This exchange mechanism has been extended to protect more applications but we believe that its implementation on a large scale for distributed environment proves difficult and costly.  The main suppliers of PKI include Entrust, Baltimore Technology and Verisign.


SSL

Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) is a browser level protection offered by Netscape and Microsoft and incorporated in most browsers. SSL establishes a secure connection from a server to a browser requesting access to an application on this server. SSL is an industry standard widely used across a large number of platforms and systems. However, we believe that it relies on a rather weak authentication model, because the browser is not authenticated by the server, which introduces a risk of impersonation.


SSR Competition

File transfer protocol (FTP) is freeware available to organizations that don’t require security controls.  Secure FTP provides minimal file protection.  A number of companies compete in the growing secure file transfer market space, including Tumbleweed Communications, Proginet Corporation, Aspera, Inc. and Radiance Technologies.


BMS Competition


To date, the only productized competition we are aware of in the digital media industry is the Aspera solution, which focuses on file transfer speed for large files.  We are not aware of an integrated solution featuring biometric access control and file tracking and logging.


Research and Development


We spent the following amounts during the periods mentioned on research and development activities:


Year ended December 31,

2006

2005

  

$1,125,285

$1,307,483


For more information, see: "Part II. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation - Plan of Operations.”


Intellectual Property Protection

We rely on common law and statutory protection of trade secrets and confidentiality agreements. We claim copyright in specific software products and various elements of our core technology. We have registered trademarks in North America and in Europe to cover the Flash Communicator product and the generic term of “FlashWare”, as well as some graphic identification and the Validian name itself.  


Our intellectual property includes an addressing scheme, an authentication process and a key exchange process for all parties to a communication, thus offering a strong trust model for secure exchanges. It also includes an encryption function using standard algorithms that encrypts data from within an originating application and decrypts within the receiving application.


We believe, but we cannot assure, that our technology and its implementation may be patentable.  We have filed patent applications covering certain aspects of our products in the U.S., Canada and the European Union.  Further applications may be made in other countries, as and when we penetrate new markets.  We have defined migration paths for the various products and developed schedules for that migration.  This



9




defines the requirement for additional patent, trademarks and copyright protection, which we plan to apply for as required in order to prevent unauthorized use of our technology.


We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain or to maintain the foregoing intellectual property protection.  We also cannot assure that our technology does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.  In the event that we are unable to obtain the foregoing protection or our technology infringes intellectual property rights of others, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.  For more information please see “Risk Factors - We may not be able to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights which could result in the loss of our right, loss of business or increase our costs.” and “Claims by third parties that we infringe upon their proprietary technology could hurt our financial condition,” below.


Employees


As at December 31, 2006, we had nine full-time employees and contractual personnel, including two executive officers, four sales and marketing staff, one product development specialist, and two in administration.  Eight are located in Ottawa, Canada, and one is located in Washington, DC.  In addition, we contract with an independent software development group in Europe, which had twenty individuals deployed to our contract on a full-time basis as at December 31, 2006. We also regularly engage technical consultants and independent contractors to provide specific advice or to perform certain marketing or technical tasks.


Risk Factors


Our business operations and our securities are subject to a number of substantial risks, including those described below. If any of these or other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results, as well as the trading price or value of our securities could be materially adversely affected.


Risks relating to our Business


We are a development stage company, and our limited operating history makes evaluating our business and prospects difficult.


We are a development stage company, and our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects or to accurately predict our future revenues or results of operations. The commercial acceptance of our products is unproven and therefore we may not be able to generate a sufficient number of revenue-paying customers to sustain operations.  Our revenue and income potential are unproven, and our business plan is constantly evolving. The Internet is constantly changing and software technology is constantly improving, therefore we may need to continue to modify our business plan to adapt to these changes. As a result of our being in the early stages of development, particularly in the emerging technology industry, we are more vulnerable to risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties than more established companies.  As a result, we may never achieve profitability and we may not be able to continue operations if we cannot successfully address the risks associated with early stage development companies in emerging technologies.


We have a history of operating losses and we anticipate losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.  Unless we are able to generate profits and positive cash flow we may not be able to continue operations.  




10




We incurred a net loss of $3,236,392 and negative cash flow from operations of $1,976,022 during the year ended December 31, 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $4,205,659 and negative cash flow from operations of $3,035,255.  We expect operating losses and negative cash flow from operations to continue for the foreseeable future.


We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. Consequently, we may never achieve profitability.  Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability in the future, we may be unable to continue our operations.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”


Our auditors have drawn readers’ attention to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern.


Our independent certified public accountants have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements.  It states that our ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain due to our history of operating losses and difficulty in generating operating cash flows.  Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  These adjustments might include changes in the possible future recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


We will require additional capital to proceed with our business plan.  If we are unable to obtain such capital, we will be unable to proceed with our business plan and we will be forced to limit or curtail our operations.


We have an immediate requirement for additional working capital in order to proceed with our business plan.  We are currently pursuing alternatives regarding the raising of additional capital to fund operations.  For a discussion of our capital requirements, see the disclosure in "Part II. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation; Plan of Operations.”  We do not currently have a commitment from any third party to provide financing and may be unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms or at all.  Furthermore, if we raise additional working capital through equity, our shareholders will experience dilution.  If we are unable to raise additional financing in the immediate future, and thereafter as required, we will be unable to grow or maintain our current level of business operations and, in fact, we will be forced to limit or curtail our operations.


The loss of any of our key personnel would likely have an adverse effect on our business.


Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued services of our key personnel.  Our loss of any of these key people most likely would have an adverse effect on our business.  Competition for personnel throughout the industry is intense and we may be unable to retain our current personnel or attract, integrate or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future.  If we do not succeed in retaining our current personnel or in attracting and motivating new personnel, our business could be materially adversely affected.


The business environment is highly competitive and, if we do not compete effectively, we may experience material adverse effects on our operations.


The market for Internet security products and services is intensely competitive and we expect competition to increase in the future.  We compete with large and small companies that provide products and services that are similar to some aspects of our security services.  Our competitors may develop new technologies in the future that are perceived as being more secure, effective or cost efficient than the technology underlying



11




our security services.  In particular, the Internet security market has historically been characterized by low financial entry barriers.


Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.  As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than we will.  We believe that there may be increasing consolidation in the Internet security market and this consolidation may materially adversely affect our competitive position.  In addition, our competitors may have established or may establish financial or strategic relationships among themselves, with existing or potential customers, resellers or other third parties and rapidly acquire significant market share.  If we cannot compete effectively, we may experience future price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which will materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.


If we are unable to develop market recognition, we may be unable to generate significant revenues and our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.


To attract customers we may have to develop a market identity and increase public awareness of our technology and products. To increase market awareness of our technology and our products, we will continue to make significant expenditures for marketing initiatives. However, these activities may not result in significant revenue and, even if they do, any revenue may not offset the expenses incurred in building market recognition. Moreover, despite these efforts, we may not be able to increase public awareness of our technology and our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.


We must establish and maintain strategic and other relationships.


One of our significant business strategies has been to enter into strategic or other similar collaborative relationships in order to reach a larger customer base than we could reach through our direct sales and marketing efforts.  We may need to enter into additional relationships to execute our business plan.  We may not be able to enter into additional, or maintain our existing, strategic relationships on commercially reasonable terms.  If we fail to enter into additional relationships, or maintain our existing relationships, we would have to devote substantially more resources to the distribution, sale and marketing of our security services and communications services than we would otherwise.


Our success in obtaining results from these relationships will depend both on the ultimate success of the other parties to these relationships and on the ability of these parties to market our products successfully.


Furthermore, our ability to achieve future growth will also depend on our ability to continue to establish direct seller channels and to develop multiple distribution channels.  Failure of one or more of our strategic relationships to result in the development and maintenance of a market for our services could harm our business.  If we are unable to maintain our relationships or to enter into additional relationships, this could harm our business.


If we are unable to respond to rapid technological change and improve our products and services, our business could be materially adversely affected.


The Internet security industry is characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards in computer hardware and software technology.  As a result, we must continually change and improve our products in response to changes in operating systems, application software, computer and communications



12




hardware, networking software, programming tools and computer language technology.  The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards may render existing products obsolete or unmarketable.  In particular, the market for Internet and intranet applications is relatively new and is rapidly evolving.  Our future operating results will depend upon our ability to enhance our current products and to develop and introduce new products on a timely basis that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our end-users and that keep pace with technological developments, new competitive product offerings and emerging industry standards.  If we do not respond adequately to the need to develop and introduce new products or enhancements of existing products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, our operating results may be materially diminished.


New products and services developed or introduced by us may not result in any significant revenues.


We must commit significant resources to developing new products and services before knowing whether our investments will result in products and services the market will accept.  The success of new products and services depends on several factors, including proper new definition and timely completion, introduction and market acceptance.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify new product and service opportunities, develop and bring new products and services to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products and services, or that products, services and technologies developed by others will not render our products, services or technologies obsolete or non-competitive.  Our inability to successfully market new products and services may harm our business.


We may not be able to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in the loss of our rights, loss of business or increased costs.


Our success depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary technology.  The unauthorized reproduction or other misappropriation of our proprietary technology would enable third parties to benefit from our technology without paying us for it.  We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright laws, license agreements and non-disclosure and other contractual provisions to protect proprietary and distribution rights of our products.  We have registered trademarks in the United States, Canada and the European Union, and we have filed one patent application for our technology in each of these jurisdictions.  Although we have taken steps to protect our proprietary technology, they may be inadequate and the unauthorized use thereof could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection.  Moreover, the laws of other countries in which we market our products may afford little or no effective protection of our intellectual property.  If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, even if we were to prevail.


Claims by third parties that we infringe upon their proprietary technology could hurt our financial condition.


If we discover that any of our products or technology we license from third parties violates third party proprietary rights, we may not be able to reengineer our product or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms to continue offering the product without substantial reengineering.    In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technology environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending for similar technologies, many of which are confidential when filed.  Although we sometimes may be indemnified by third parties against claims that licensed third party technology infringes proprietary rights of others, this indemnity may be limited, unavailable or, where the third party lacks sufficient assets or insurance, ineffective.  We currently do not have liability insurance to protect against the risk that our technology or future licensed third party technology infringes the



13




proprietary rights of others.  Any claim of infringement, even if invalid, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim and could distract our management from our business.  Furthermore, a party making such a claim could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages.  A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from selling our products.  Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.


If our electronic security technology were breached, our business would be materially adversely affected.


A key element of our technology and products is our Internet security feature.  If anyone is able to circumvent our security measures, they could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions or problems with hardware and software of customers using our products.  Any such security breaches could significantly damage our reputation.  In addition, we could be liable to our customers for the damages caused by such breaches or we could incur substantial costs as a result of defending claims for those damages. We may need to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or to address problems caused by such breaches. Security measures taken by us may not prevent disruptions or security breaches.    In the event that future events or developments result in a compromise or breach of the technology we use to protect a customer's personal information, our financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.  


We face restrictions on the exportation of our encryption technology, which could limit our ability to market our products outside of the United States, Canada and Europe.


Some of our Internet security products utilize and incorporate encryption technology.  Exports of software products utilizing encryption technology are generally restricted by the United States and various non-United States governments, particularly in response to the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001.  If we do not obtain the required approvals, we may not be able to sell some of our products in international markets, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.


Our operating results may prove unpredictable, and may fluctuate significantly.


Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control.  Factors which may cause operating results to fluctuate significantly include the following:


*

new technology or products introduced by us or by our competitors;

*

the timing and uncertainty of sales cycles and seasonal declines in sales;

*

our success in marketing and market acceptance of our products and services by our existing customers and by new customers;

*

a decrease in the level of spending for information technology-related products and services by our existing and potential customers; and

*

general economic conditions, as well as economic conditions specific to users of our products and technology.


Our operating results may be volatile and difficult to predict.  As such, future operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.  In this event, the trading price of our common stock may fall significantly.  


We expect to generate some revenues and incur some operating expenses outside of the United States.  If applicable currency exchange rates fluctuate our revenues and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.




14




We expect that some portion of our revenues will be based on sales provided outside of the United States.  In addition, a significant portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside of the United States, and we expect that this will continue to be the case.  As a result, our financial performance will be affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar to foreign currency. At the present time, we have no plan or policy to utilize forward contracts or currency options to minimize this exposure, and even if these measures are implemented there can be no assurance that such arrangements will be available, be cost effective or be able to fully offset such future currency risks.


Other risks associated with international operations could adversely affect our business operations and our results of operations.


There are certain risks inherent in doing business on an international level, such as:


*

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, export and import restrictions;

*

controls relating to encryption technology that may limit sales sometime in the future;

*

legal uncertainty regarding liability and compliance with foreign laws;

*

competition with foreign companies or other domestic companies entering into the foreign markets in which we operate;

*

tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions;

*

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

*

longer sales and payment cycles;

*

problems in collecting accounts receivable;

*

political instability;

*

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

*

software piracy;

*

seasonal reductions in business activity during the summer months in Europe and elsewhere; and

*

potentially adverse tax consequences.


Any of these factors could adversely impact the success of our international operations. One or more of such factors may impair our future international operations and our overall financial condition and business prospects.


Risks relating to our Common Stock


Our common stock price may be volatile.


The market prices of securities of Internet and technology companies are extremely volatile and sometimes reach unsustainable levels that bear no relationship to the past or present operating performance of such companies. Factors that may contribute to the volatility of the trading price of our common stock include, among others:


*

our quarterly results of operations;

*

the variance between our actual quarterly results of operations and predictions by stock analysts;

*

financial predictions and recommendations by stock analysts concerning Internet companies and companies competing in our market in general, and concerning us in particular;

*

public announcements of technical innovations relating to our business, new products or technology by us or our competitors, or acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or our competitors;

*

public reports concerning our products or technology or those of our competitors; and



15




*

the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors or stock analysts may deem comparable to us.


In addition to the foregoing factors, the trading prices for equity securities in the stock market in general, and of Internet-related companies in particular, have been subject to wide fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance of the particular company affected by such fluctuations.  Consequently, broad market fluctuations may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our results of operations.


There is a limited market for our common stock.  If a substantial and sustained market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders' ability to sell their shares may be materially and adversely affected.


Our common stock is tradable in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Many institutional and other investors refuse to invest in stocks that are traded at levels below the Nasdaq Small Cap Market which could make our efforts to raise capital more difficult.  In addition, the firms that make a market for our common stock could discontinue that role.  OTC Bulletin Board stocks are often lightly traded or not traded at all on any given day.  We cannot predict whether a more active market for our common stock will develop in the future.  In the absence of an active trading market:


*

investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

*

market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and

*

a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.


Shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants and convertible debentures, or under anti-dilution provisions in certain agreements, could dilute stock holdings and adversely affect our stock price.


We have issued options and warrants to acquire common stock to our employees and certain other persons at various prices, some of which have, or may in the future have, exercise prices at or below the market price of our stock.  As of April 30, 2007, we have outstanding options and warrants to purchase a total of 11,949,635 shares of our common stock, all of which have exercise prices above the recent market price of $0.04 per share (as of April 19, 2007).  If exercised, these options and warrants will cause immediate and possibly substantial dilution to our stockholders.


We have two existing stock option plans, one of which had 2,315,000 shares remaining for issuance as of April 30, 2007, the second of which had 1,679,698 shares remaining for issuance as of April 30, 2007.  Future options issued under these plans may have further dilutive effects.


Issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants, or anti-dilution provisions, could lead to subsequent sales of the shares in the public market, which could depress the market price of our stock by creating an excess in supply of shares for sale.  Issuance of these shares and sale of these shares in the public market could also impair our ability to raise capital by selling equity securities.


A large number of shares will be eligible for future sale and may depress our stock price.


As of April 30, 2007, we had outstanding 45,720,403 shares of common stock, of which approximately 27,417,763 shares were "restricted securities" as that term is defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.  These restricted shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 at various times, upon the expiry of the applicable holding period.  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares of common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time.  Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of our common stock may be sold



16




in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.


We will have to increase our authorized common shares in order to raise a significant amount of equity capital.


Our authorized common stock is limited to 100,000,000.  We currently have the following issued and reserved for issuance (as at April 30, 2007):


Common stock outstanding

45,720,403

Common stock reserved for stock option plans

7,000,000

Common stock reserved for exercise of warrants

8,944,333

Common stock reserved for conversion of 10% convertible notes

25,833,333

 

87,498,069


If we do not increase our authorized common shares we will be limited in how much equity capital or convertible debt securities we can issue.  In the event that we do increase our authorized common stock, our existing stockholders may experience dilution and the value of our common stock may decrease.


We do not intend to pay dividends in the near future.


Our board of directors determines whether to pay dividends on our issued and outstanding shares.  The declaration of dividends will depend upon our future earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition and other relevant factors.  Our board does not intend to declare any dividends on our shares for the foreseeable future.


Our common stock may be deemed to be a "penny stock."  As a result, trading of our shares may be subject to special requirements that could impede our shareholders' ability to resell their shares.


Our common stock may be deemed to be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Penny stocks include stocks:


*

that are not traded on a national securities exchange that has been continuously registered since April 20, 1992 and has maintained quantitative initial and continued listing standards that are substantially similar to or stricter than the listing standards in place at January 8, 2004;

*

that are not traded on a securities exchange, a “junior tier” of an exchange or an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association that has established initial listing standards that meet or exceed specified criteria an maintains similar quantitative continued listing standards; or:

*

whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system ; or

*

of issuers with net tangible assets less than:

*

$2,000,000 if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years; or

*

$5,000,000 if in continuous operation for less than three years, or

*

of issuers with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks not less than two business days before a transaction is effected, and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the



17




investor's account.  Moreover, Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker-dealer:


*

to obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives;

*

to determine reasonably, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions;

*

to provide, not less than two business days before a transaction is effected, the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in the second bullet above; and

*

to receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.  


Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.


Our current executive officers, directors and major stockholders own a significant percentage of our voting stock. As a result, they exercise significant control over our business affairs and policy.


As of April 30, 2007, our current executive officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock together beneficially owned approximately 30% of the outstanding common stock if they exercised all of the options and warrants held by them.  These stockholders are able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without the support of these shareholders.


Our restated articles of incorporation contain provisions that could discourage an acquisition or change of control of our company.


Our restated articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval.  Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, such as the provision allowing our board of directors to issue preferred stock with rights more favorable than our common stock, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if that change of control might benefit our stockholders.


We currently do not have an effective system of internal controls, and therefore we may not be able to detect fraud or report our financial results accurately, which could harm our business.


Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to detect and prevent fraud.  We periodically assess our system of internal controls to review their effectiveness and identify potential areas of improvement.  These assessments may conclude that enhancements, modifications or changes to our system of internal controls are necessary.  Performing assessments of internal controls, implementing necessary changes, and maintaining an effective internal controls process is expensive and requires considerable management attention.  Internal control systems are designed in part upon assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and all such systems, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. A consequence of these and other inherent limitations of control systems is that there can be no



18




assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.  If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or prevent fraud, we could suffer losses, could be subject to costly litigation, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and our image and operating results could be could be harmed, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.


In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm advised the Board of Directors and management of certain significant internal control deficiencies that they consider to be, in aggregate, a material weakness.  In particular, our independent registered public accounting firm identified the following weaknesses in our internal control system:  (1) a lack of segregation of duties; and (2) the lack of timely preparation of certain back up schedules.  Due to the size and resources of our company we may not be able to remediate in the foreseeable future all of the deficiencies identified.  If we are unable to remediate the identified material weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.


We may have difficulty implementing in a timely manner the internal controls procedures necessary to allow our management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls, and we may incur substantial costs in order to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has introduced many new requirements applicable to us regarding corporate governance and financial reporting.  Among many other requirements is the requirement under Section 404 of the Act for management to report on our internal controls over financial reporting and for our registered public accountant to attest to this report.  We are required to comply with Section 404 effective the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.  Although our management has begun the necessary processes and procedures for issuing its report on our internal controls, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in complying with Section 404.  We expect to devote substantial time and incur costs during fiscal 2007 and 2008 to implement appropriate controls and procedures to ensure compliance.  If we are not able to timely comply with the requirements set forth in Section 404, we might be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities.  Any such action could adversely affect our business and financial results.


Our Corporate History


We were incorporated in Nevada on April 12, 1989 as CCC Funding Corp. to seek out one or more potential business ventures.  On January 28, 2003, we changed our name from Sochrys.com Inc. to Validian Corporation.


Item 2.  Description of Properties.


Our Canadian office is located at 30 Metcalfe St., Suite 620, Ottawa, Canada, K1P 5L4. The telephone number is (613) 230-7211.  Our United States office is located at 4651 Roswell Road, Suite B-106, Atlanta, Georgia 30342, telephone number (404) 256-1963.


Our Ottawa office is leased from a non-affiliated party under a long-term operating lease.  Until April 30, 2007, the lease provided shared access to and use of 5,576 square feet.  Effective May 1, 2007, we reduced the amount of space we occupy in our Ottawa location to 3,526 square feet.  Our Atlanta office is leased from a non-affiliated party per oral arrangement on a month-by-month basis.  The lease provides shared access to and use of 1,000 square feet.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


On December 31, 2006, Dr. Andre Maisonneuve retired from the Corporation.  On December 21, 2006, Dr. Maisonneuve commenced legal action against the Corporation at Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa, Canada, seeking approximately $42,905 in unpaid salary claimed to be owed to him at the date of his retirement, plus costs with respect to collecting the amount due.  We are contesting this action, but have included $42,905 in accrued liabilities in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2006.  Additional costs which may become payable in relation to this claim cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; we will record such costs, if any, when they become known to us.  


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security holders.


There have been no matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders since February 25, 2005.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.


General


In this section, we explain our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. As you read this section, you may find it helpful to refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 of this annual report.


Until we acquired our former subsidiary, Graph-O-Logic, S.A. in August 1999, we had no material or substantive business operations.  Since then, our business has been as more fully described in " Part I, Item 1: Description of Business".  Accordingly, in this section we focus solely on the historical business operations of the subsidiary and our current business plan and operations.


Critical Accounting Policies


We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the financial statements are described in note 2 to our 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements included with this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other relevant factors.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.  The following critical accounting policies are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in preparation of our December 31, 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements.


Revenue recognition:


For sales of product licenses, the Corporation recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions”, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  Revenue from sale of product licenses is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.


Revenue from product support contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.  Revenue from services is recognized at the time such services are rendered.


For contracts with multiple elements such as product licenses, product support and services, the Corporation follows the residual method.  Under this method, the total fair value of the undelivered elements of the contract, as indicated by vendor specific objective evidence, is deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2.  The difference between the total contract fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements.  Vendor specific objective evidence for support and consulting services is obtained from contracts where these elements have been sold separately.  Where the Corporation cannot determine the fair value of all of the undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until such time as it can be determined, or until all of the elements are delivered.



23




Long-Lived assets:


We perform impairment tests on our long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.  We estimate the useful lives of capital assets and deferred charges based on the nature of the asset, historical experience and the terms of any supplier contracts.  The valuation of long-lived assets is based on the amount of future net cash flows these assets are estimated to generate.  Revenue and expense projections are based on management’s estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions.  A significant change to these assumptions could impact the estimated useful lives or valuation of long-lived assets resulting in a change to depreciation or amortization expense and impairment charges.


Research and development expenses:


We expense all of our research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred.  At such time as our products are determined to be commercially available, we will capitalize those development expenditures that are related to the maintenance of the commercial products, and amortize these capitalized expenditures over the estimated life of the commercial product.  The estimated life of the commercial product will be based on management’s estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions.  A significant change to these assumptions could impact the estimated useful life of our commercial products resulting in a change to amortization expense and impairment charges.


Stock-based compensation:


Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment – a revision of FAS 123” (SFAS 123R) to account for its stock-based payments.  SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including stock options granted by the Corporation to its employees, to be recognized as expenses, based on the fair value of the share-based payments at the date of grant.  For purposes of estimating the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation, the Corporation uses the Black Scholes option-pricing model, and has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award.  The fair value of awards granted is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which in the Corporation’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.


In adopting SFAS 123R, the Corporation has applied the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this method, the Corporation will recognize compensation costs for all share-based payments granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2006, as well as for any awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service had not been provided as of that date (unvested awards).  Under the modified prospective method, prior periods are not adjusted, and the Corporation continues to provide pro forma disclosure for these periods, as presented below.


For reporting periods ending on or before December 31, 2005, the Corporation applied the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” issued in March 2000, to account for its stock options for employees.  Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans.  These provisions are required to be applied to stock compensation granted to non-employees.  As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the



24




Corporation elected to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above for awards granted to employees, and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.  


Had compensation costs in respect of options granted to employees been determined using the fair value based method at the grant date, the Corporation’s pro forma net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been as follows:


  

Net loss, as reported

$(4,205,659)

Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense

 

  determined under the fair value-based method for all awards

(1,071,008)

Pro forma net loss

$(5,222,667)

  

Loss per share:

 

  Basic and diluted – as reported

$(0.13)

  Basic and diluted – pro-forma

$(0.17)

  


Plan of Operations


We are a development stage enterprise.  As such, our historical results of operations are unlikely to provide a meaningful understanding of the activities expected to take place during the period through December 31, 2007.  Our major initiatives through December 31, 2007 are:


*

obtaining commercial sales of our products, and continuing our current marketing program;

*

developing and improving product agents to perform specialized functions common to many e-commerce sites; and

*

furthering the development of our products.


For more information, please see “Part 1. Item 1: Description of Business - Technology.”


Sales and Marketing Plans:  We started our marketing process during the second quarter of 2000, with our original focus being potential customers located in the United States and Western Europe.  The potential customers and our current marketing program are more fully described in “Part 1. Item 1: Description of Business - The Target Market.”  


We will continue to focus our marketing efforts on identifying potential customers by presenting technical seminars, participating in trade shows, using the services of public relations firms, market research, the creation and dissemination of technical and commercial collateral materials, the maintenance and periodic re-design of our website, and the placement of advertisements in print and electronic publications.  Subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, we plan on spending $200,000 on our marketing efforts during the year ending December 31, 2007.


Our sales representatives, who are compensated on a base compensation plus commission basis, will follow up with potential customers identified through our marketing efforts, with the objective of more fully explaining the benefits of our products and negotiating the terms of the licensing of our products.  Subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, we expect to spend approximately $873,000 on our sales initiatives, including compensation and travel expenses, during the year ending December 31, 2007.

Subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, our sales and marketing expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2007 are expected to total $1,073,000.


Cost of Sales and Services:  In the event that our sales efforts are successful, we will need to assist our customers in the implementation of our products.  Depending on the success of our sales efforts, and subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, we expect to spend $50,000 on compensation, training and related activities during the year ending December 31, 2007.


Product Development:  We plan on continuing to fund third parties to develop our key technology and related products, under the direction and management of our product management group and our senior management.  For more information please see “Part 1.  Item 1.  Description of Business - Our Technology”.


We will improve and further develop our products based on responses from potential customers.  The cost associated with our product development activities are primarily those currently planned and thus are subject to a high degree of control.  Subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, we estimate that the cost of our product development program during the year ending December 31, 2007 will be $1,150,000.


General and Administrative Expenses:  Subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding, we expect to spend $850,000 on general and administrative activities during the year ending December 31, 2007.


During the year ending December 31, 2007, provided we are able to obtain adequate funding, we expect to spend a total of $3,123,000, subject to our ability to generate revenues from the licensing of our products and our ability to raise additional capital.


Since entering the development stage, we have obtained financing through the private placement of debt, convertible debentures, common stock and warrants, and through the exercise of some of these warrants.     Until such time as we generate sufficient revenues from the licensing of our software applications, we will continue to be dependent on raising substantial amounts of additional capital through any one of a combination of debt offerings or equity offerings, including but not limited to:


*

debt instruments, including demand notes and convertible debentures similar to those discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”;

*

private placements of common stock;

*

exercise of stock options at an average exercise price of $0.50 per share;

*

exercise of Series ‘E’ warrants at an exercise price of $0.33 per share;

*

exercise of Series ‘F’ warrants at an exercise price of $0.50 per share;

*

exercise of Series ‘I’ warrants at an exercise price of $0.03 per share;

*

exercise of Series “J” warrants at an exercise price of $0.15 per share; or

*

funding from potential clientele or future industry partners.

Results of Operations


In this section, we discuss our earnings for the periods indicated and the factors affecting them that resulted in changes from one period to the other.


The fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005


Revenue:  We completed our first commercial sale during the third quarter of 2005, however we were unable to recognize revenue in connection with this sale, as all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies were not met.  During April 2006 we determined that collection of the amount invoiced in connection with this sale was in jeopardy, and have recorded an allowance against the entire amount, as an offset against deferred revenue.


On January 1, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a Value Added Reseller (“VAR”), pursuant to which we granted the VAR a license to sell our software to the VAR’s customers for a period of three years.  Our fee for this license, excluding applicable sales taxes, was $155,000, of which $151,650 had been received as of the financial statement date.  We will recognize revenue in connection with this sale once all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies, have been met.




27




Since August 1999, we have directed all of our attention towards the completion, and sales and marketing of, our software applications.  We believe that if we are successful in our development and sales and marketing efforts, we will generate a source of revenue in the future from sales and/or licensing of our software applications.  


Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional fees, insurance, communication expenses, occupancy costs and other miscellaneous costs associated with supporting our research and development and sales and marketing activities.  During the year ended December 31, 2006 we incurred a total of $1,890,887, including $1,533,660 in cash-based expenses and $357,227 in stock-based expenses, as compared to $2,213,403, of which $1,920,742 was cash-based and $292,661 was stock-based expenses, during the year ended December 31, 2005.  There was an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $322,516 (15%), comprised of a $387,082 (20%) decrease in the cash-based component of this expense, which was partially offset by a $64,566 (22%) increase in stock-based expenses.  The decrease in the cash-based component of selling, general and administrative expenses occurred primarily as a result of a reduction in the level of activity of our sales and marketing departments, as compared to the level of activity of these departments during the year ended December 31, 2005, during which we were in the process of scaling back our sales and marketing efforts in response to a delay in the expected release date of one of our products.    During 2006, we made efforts to further reduce costs in these departments through measures such as reducing the number of sales personnel, discontinuing the services of our public relations firm, reducing the number of trade shows in which we participate, and delaying production of new promotional material.  We will continue to carefully monitor these costs as we work within current budgetary limits leading up to the full commercial release of our products.  


In addition to the reduction in cash-based costs incurred by our sales and marketing departments, cash-based administrative expenses also decreased during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of a reduction in professional fees, which occurred due to lower ongoing reporting costs relating to our private debt and equity placements which took place during the fourth quarter of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004.  We also incurred $26,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005 in relation to our annual general meeting, for which there was no comparable expense during the year ended December 31, 2006.  These reductions were partially offset by increases in cash-based investor relation consultants’ fees and travel costs, due to our efforts to raise additional capital.


Much of our selling, general and administrative expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars.  As such, the decreased costs in these departments were partially offset by the higher average exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar experienced during the year ended 2006, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005 ($0.882 in 2006; $0.826 in 2005).


The stock-based component of selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of $221,727 in amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003, and on the extension, during August 2005, of the expiry date of these warrants from August 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006; $60,000 in fair value of common stock issued as compensation for investor relations services rendered; $18,750 in fair value of unvested employee stock options earned during the period, reduced by a reversal of the fair value of unvested employee stock options forfeited during the period; $11,500 in fair value of 100,000 common shares issued as compensation for the extension of the repayment period of investor relations fees owing; and $45,000 in fair value of 500,000 common shares issued as a penalty for failing to repay our 10% promissory note within the initial period set out under the terms of the note. The $292,661 in the stock-based component of this expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of $136,130 in amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003, and on the extension, during August 2005, of the expiry date of



28




warrants issued during 2003; and $156,531 recognized as the fair value of stock options issued to a consultant during the second quarter of 2005 as compensation for services rendered.    


Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and consulting expenses directly associated with the development of our software applications.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we spent $1,125,285, developing our software applications, which represent a decrease of $182,198 (14%) from the $1,307,483 we incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.  This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in the size of the Europe-based contract development group from an average of 26 personnel during the year ended December 31, 2005, to an average of 20 personnel during the year ended December 31, 2006.  Additionally, we engaged external consultants to perform technical writing and testing of our products during the year ended December 31, 2005, for which there were no comparable costs during the year ended December 31, 2006.  In an effort to reduce overall expenses, we also incurred lower travel costs relating to meetings with our Europe-based contract development group during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005.  


Interest and financing costs:  Interest and financing costs during the year ended December 31, 2006 consisted of interest and financing costs associated with our 10% senior secured convertible notes, our 10% senior convertible notes, our 10% and 12% promissory notes and interest on the capital lease.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, interest and financing costs included interest and financing costs associated with our 4% senior convertible debentures, interest on our 12% promissory notes and interest on the capital lease.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we incurred $382,817 in interest and financing costs, a decrease of $232,469 (38%) over the $615,286 in interest and financing costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.  


Of the $382,817 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006, $62,729 relates to our 10% senior secured convertible notes, $186,654 relates to our 10% senior convertible notes, $71,247 relates to our 10% promissory notes, $59,983 relates to our 12% promissory notes and $2,204 relates to the capital lease.  The $62,729 in interest and financing costs relating to our 10% senior secured convertible notes is comprised of:  $10,900 of accrued interest charges; $45,992 of accretion of the principal through charges to interest expense; and $5,837 of amortization of deferred financing costs.  The 10% senior secured convertible notes were issued during the year ended December 31, 2006, therefore there is no comparable cost for the year ended December 31, 2005.


The $186,654 in interest and financing costs relating to our 10% senior convertible notes is comprised of:  $38,620 of accrued interest charges; $118,607 of accretion of the principal through charges to interest expenses; and $29,427 of amortization of deferred financing costs.  The 10% senior convertible notes were issued during 2006, therefore there is no comparable cost for the year ended December 31, 2005.


The $71,247 in interest and financing costs relating to our 10% promissory notes is comprised of:  $11,027 of accrued interest charges; $44,956 of accretion of the principal through charges to interest expenses; and $15,264 of amortization of deferred costs.  The 10% promissory notes were issued during 2006, therefore there is no comparible cost for 2005.


Of the $615,286 in interest and financing costs we incurred during 2005, $576,844 related to our 4% senior convertible debentures, which matured on December 31, 2005, resulting in there being no comparable cost during the year ended December 31, 2006.  The remaining $38,442 in interest and financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 consisted of $35,556 in interest on our 12% promissory notes payable, and $2,886 related to the capital lease.




29




Interest on our 12% promissory notes increased by $24,427 (69%), from $35,556 during the year ended December 31, 2005, to $59,983 during the year ended December 31, 2006.  This increase occurred as a result of a net increase of $307,607 in the principal outstanding on the notes during the year ended December 31, 2006, which increased the balance on which interest was charged for 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005.  There was a decrease of $682 in the amount of interest incurred on our capital lease, as a result of a reduction in the principal outstanding.


Gain on extinguishment of debt:  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $79,303 in net gains on extinguishment of debt.  The terms of our 10% senior secured promissory notes were modified; a gain of $38,097 was recorded on this transaction.  Also during 2006, we exchanged our 10% promissory note for a 10% senior secured convertible note; a gain of $44,956 was recorded on this transaction.  These gains were partially offset by a loss of $3,750 on the issuance of 250,000 common shares of the Corporation, valued at $28,750, in satisfaction of accounts payable totaling $25,000.  There were no comparable transactions during the year ended December 31, 2005.


Depreciation of property and equipment: Depreciation of property and equipment was $61,897 during the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $21,959 (26%), over the $83,856 charged to depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 2005.  This decrease occurred as a result of there being a lower value on which depreciation was charged during 2006, due to some of our property and equipment becoming fully depreciated during 2005 and 2006, with no offsetting acquisitions during the year.

 

Net Loss: We incurred a loss of $3,387,291 ($0.09 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a loss of $4,205,659 ($0.13 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2005.    Our revenues and future profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on our ability to:


*

license the software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

*

to be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

*

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to existing users; and

*

successfully develop related software applications.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


General:  Since inception, we have funded our operations from private placements of debt and equity securities.  In addition, until September 1999, we derived revenues from consulting contracts with affiliated parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund operations.  Until such time as we are able to generate adequate revenues from the licensing of our software applications, we cannot assure that that we will be successful in raising additional capital, or that cash from the issuance of debt securities, the exercise of existing warrants and options, and the placements of additional equity securities, if any, will be sufficient to fund our long-term research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses.


At December 31, 2006, we had $7,780 in cash and cash equivalents, and at December 31, 2005, we had $71,193 in cash and cash equivalents.  Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during 2006 primarily reflecting our net loss of $3,387,291 and the resulting cash used in operations of $1,976,022.  Our cash and cash equivalents decreased in 2005 primarily reflecting our net loss of $4,205,659 and the resulting cash used in operations of $3,035,255.  In the period from January 1 to March 31, 2007 we raised $59,897 through the issuance of our 12% notes, and $200,000 through the issuance of our 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes.


As discussed elsewhere in this report, our independent registered public accountants have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated financial



30




statements.  It states that the following conditions exist, which raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern:  our lack of revenues to date; our negative working capital of $1,802,444 and our accumulated a deficit of $24,492,283 as at December 31, 2006; our net loss of $3,387,291 and negative cash flow from operations of $1,976,022 for the year then ended; our expectation of continued operating losses for the foreseeable future; and the fact that we have no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place.  


We achieved our first commercial sale during the third quarter of 2005, however we were unable to recognize revenue in connection with this sale, as all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies were not met.  During April 2006 we determined that collection of the amount invoiced in connection with this was unlikely, and have recorded an allowance against the entire amount, as an offset against deferred revenue.  On January 1, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a Value Added Reseller (“VAR”), pursuant to which we granted the VAR a license to sell our software to the VAR’s customers for a period of three years.  Our fee for this license, excluding applicable sales taxes, was $155,000, of which $151,650 had been received as of December 31, 2006.  We will recognize revenue in connection with this sale once all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies, have been met.


We anticipate additional commercial sales during the second quarter of 2007, however we cannot be assured that this will be the case.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we hired one new full-time employee and had three full-time employees and two full-time consultants leave the Corporation.  We do not expect to hire any additional personnel during the next six months.  We have not made, nor do we expect to make, any material commitments for capital equipment expenditures during the next twelve months.


We have an immediate requirement for additional working capital in order to proceed with our business plan.  We review our cash needs and sources on a month-to-month basis and we are currently pursuing appropriate opportunities to raise additional capital to fund operations.  Additional sources of capital could involve issuing equity or debt.  In January and in March 2007, we engaged financial advisers to provide advice to us with respect to capital raising.  However, additional funding may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all.  The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline.  In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated sales of stock could cause some institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may itself cause the price of our stock to decline.  We may be unable to raise additional capital if our stock price is too low.  A sustained inability to raise capital could force us to limit or curtail our operations.


We expect the level of our future operating expenses to be driven by the needs of our research and development and marketing programs offset by the availability of funds.  In addition, we have since inception made an effort to keep our expenses relatively low and conserve available cash until we begin generating sufficient operating cash flow.


Sources of Capital:    Our principal sources of capital for funding our business activities have been the private placements of debt and equity securities.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, our sources of capital included the following, which generated cash for funding operations:

·

the issuance of 10% senior secured convertible notes for cash proceeds of $650,000;

·

the issuance of 10% senior convertible notes for cash proceeds of $750,000;

·

the issuance of 10% promissory notes for cash proceeds of $250,000;

·

the issuance of 12% promissory notes, net of repayments, for cash proceeds of $307,607; and

·

the exercise of 20,000 series H warrants for cash proceeds of $10,000.


In addition, the following stock-based transactions reduced our requirements for cash:


31




·

the issuance of 800,000 common shares, valued at $107,500, in consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered;

·

the issuance of 740,000 common shares, valued at $76,400, in consideration for finance fees;

·

the issuance of 100,000 common shares, valued at $11,500, in consideration for the deferral of payment of fees owing;

·

the issuance of 250,000 common shares, valued at $28,750, in settlement of accounts payable in the amount of $25,000;

·

the issuance of 118,378 common shares, valued at $13,638, in satisfaction of interest payable on our  10% senior convertible notes;

·

the issuance of 500,000 common shares, valued at $45,000, pursuant to the terms of our 10% promissory note, for failure to repay all principal and interest outstanding prior to October 11, 2006.


The Corporation has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangement which would have provided the Corporation with a source of capital.


Uses of Capital:  Over the past several years, we have scaled our development activities to the level of available cash resources.  Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by approximately 14% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, as a result of cash conservation efforts.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by approximately 15% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, due to several factors, including the reduction of our sales and marketing efforts, and as explained more fully under “Results of Operation.”


During the fourth quarter of 2004, and continuing through the latter part of the third quarter of 2005, we scaled back our sales and marketing program, in order to maintain a sustainable level for sales and marketing expenditures leading up to the first commercial release of our products.  We hired one additional full-time employee in our sales department during September, 2005, in anticipation of imminent commercial sales, the first of which took place during September 2005.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, we hired one new full-time employee and had three full-time employees and two full-time consultant leave the Corporation.  Our plans with respect to future staffing will be dependant upon our ability to raise additional capital.  We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements which would have resulted in our use of capital.


The cost to implement appropriate controls and procedures to ensure compliance with Section 404 of the Act is included in our budget for 2007.


Commitments:  We have entered into an operating lease agreement for office space which expires on April 30, 2010.  Future minimum lease payments including operating costs are approximately as follows:

VALIDIAN CORPORATION

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

(In U.S. dollars)



1.

General:


Validian Corporation (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 12, 1989 as CCC Funding Corp.  The Corporation underwent several name changes before being renamed to Validian Corporation on January 28, 2003.


Since August 3, 1999, the efforts of the Corporation have been devoted to the development of a high speed, highly secure method of transacting business using the internet, and to the sale and marketing of the Corporations’ products.  Prior to August 3, 1999, the Corporation provided consulting services for web site implementation, multimedia CD design, computer graphic publication, as well as implementation of dedicated software solutions used in connection with the French Minitel and the internet.  As the Corporation commenced development activities on this date, it is considered for financial accounting purposes to be a development stage enterprise, and August 3, 1999 is the commencement of the development stage.


2.

Summary of significant accounting policies:


(a)

Future operations:


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Corporation will continue as a going concern.  The Corporation has no revenues, has negative working capital of $1,802,444, has accumulated a deficit of $24,643,182 as at December 31, 2006, and has incurred a loss of $3,387,291 and negative cash flow from operations of $1,976,022 for the year then ended.  In addition, the Corporation expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and has no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place.  


If the Corporation obtains further financing and generates revenue, it expects to incur operating expenditures of approximately $3.1 million for the year ending December 31, 2007. In the event the Corporation cannot raise the funds necessary to finance its research and development and sales and marketing activities, it may have to cease operations.


All of the factors above raise substantial doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans to address these issues include raising capital through the private placement of equity, the exercise of previously-issued equity instruments and through the issuance of additional promissory notes.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(a)

Future operations (continued):


The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement these plans.  Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s position and or results of operations and could also result in the Corporation’s ceasing operations.  The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be required if the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal course of operations.


Even if successful in obtaining financing in the near term, the Corporation cannot be certain that cash generated from its future operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements in the longer term, and it may need to continue to raise capital by issuing additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities.  The Corporation’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the market acceptance of its products and the level of its promotional activities and advertising required to generate product sales.  No assurance can be given that any such additional funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Corporation.


(b)

Principles of consolidation:


These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and include the accounts of Validian Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sochrys Technologies Inc. and Evolusys S.A.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


(c)

Cash and cash equivalents:


Cash and cash equivalents include liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less.


(d)

Property and equipment:


Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and includes computer hardware and software, furniture and equipment, equipment under capital lease and leasehold improvements.  These assets are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:  computer hardware, furniture and equipment:  3 years; equipment under capital lease:  over the term of the lease, being 4 years; computer software:  1 year; leasehold improvements:  over the term of the lease, being 2 years.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(e)

Leases:


Leases are classified as either capital or operating in nature.  Capital leases are those which substantially transfer the benefits and risk of ownership to the Corporation.  Assets acquired under capital leases are depreciated as described in note 1(d).  Obligations recorded under capital leases are reduced by the principal portion of lease payments.  The imputed interest portion of lease payments is charged to expense.


(f)

Deferred financing costs:


Deferred financing costs represent the costs associated with arranging the 10% senior convertible notes and the 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The costs are being amortized over the  term of the notes.


(g)

Prepaid expenses and deferred consulting services:


Deferred consulting services represent the portion of prepaid non-cash consulting fees for services to be rendered in periods in excess of twelve months from the balance sheet date.  Prepaid non-cash consulting fees related to services to be rendered within twelve months from the balance sheet date are included in prepaid expenses on the balance sheet. These costs will be charged to expenses as the services are rendered.  If for any reason circumstances arise which would indicate that the services will not be performed in the future, any remaining balance included in prepaid expenses and deferred consulting services will be charged to expense immediately.


 (h)

Income taxes:


Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Temporary differences between the carrying values of assets or liabilities used for tax purposes and those used for financial reporting purposes arise in one period and reverse in one or more subsequent periods.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers known and anticipated factors impacting whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  To the extent that the realization of deferred tax assets is not considered to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(i)

Revenue recognition:


For sales of product licenses, the Corporation recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions”, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  Revenue from sale of product licenses is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:  persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.


Revenue from product support contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.  Revenue from services is recognized at the time such services are rendered.


For contracts with multiple elements such as product licenses, product support and services, the Corporation follows the residual method.  Under this method, the total fair value of the undelivered elements of the contract, as indicated by vendor specific objective evidence, is deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the provisions of SOP 97-2.  The difference between the total contract fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements.  Vendor specific objective evidence for support and consulting services is obtained from contracts where these elements have been sold separately.  Where the Corporation cannot determine the fair value of all of the undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until such time as it can be determined, or until all of the elements are delivered.


(j)

Research and development:


Costs related to research, design and development of software products are charged to research and development expenses as incurred.  Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established, which generally occurs upon completion of a working model, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers, and is generating significant revenue.  


(k)

Foreign currency translation:


The functional currency for the financial statements of the Corporation is the United States dollar.  Exchange gains or losses are realized due to differences in the exchange rate at the transaction date versus the rate in effect at the settlement or balance sheet date.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(l)

New accounting policy - stock-based compensation:


Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment – a revision of FAS 123” (SFAS 123R) to account for its stock-based payments.  SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including stock options granted by the Corporation to its employees, to be recognized as expenses, based on the fair value of the share-based payments at the date of grant.  For purposes of estimating the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation, the Corporation uses the Black Scholes option-pricing model, and has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award.  The fair value of awards granted is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which in the Corporation’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.


In adopting SFAS 123R, the Corporation has applied the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this method, the Corporation will recognize compensation costs for all share-based payments granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2006, as well as for any awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service had not been provided as of that date (unvested awards).  Under the modified prospective method, prior periods are not adjusted, and the Corporation continues to provide pro forma disclosure for these periods, as presented below.


For reporting periods ending on or before December 31, 2005, the Corporation applied the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25” issued in March 2000, to account for its stock options for employees.  Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans.  These provisions are required to be applied to stock compensation granted to non-employees.  As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Corporation elected to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above for awards granted to employees, and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(l) New accounting policy - stock-based compensation (continued):


Had compensation costs in respect of options granted to employees been determined using the fair value based method at the grant date, the Corporation’s pro forma net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been as follows:


  

Net loss, as reported

$(4,205,659)

Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense

 

  determined under the fair value-based method for all awards

(1,071,008)

Pro forma net loss

$(5,222,667)

  

Loss per share:

 

  Basic and diluted – as reported

$(0.13)

  Basic and diluted – pro-forma

$(0.17)

  



(m) Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets:


The Corporation accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.


(n) Use of estimates:


The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):


(o)

New accounting policy – income tax consequences of issuing convertible debt with a beneficial  conversion feature:


In September 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on Issue 05-8, “income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature” (“EITF 05-8”).  The Task Force reached the following consensus:


·

The issuance of convertible debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a basis difference in applying FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Recognition of such a feature effectively creates a debt instrument and a separate equity instrument for reporting purposes, whereas the convertible debt is treated entirely as a debt instrument for income tax purposes;

·

The resulting basis difference should be deemed a temporary difference because it will result in a taxable amount when the recorded amount of the liability is recovered or settled;

·

Recognition of deferred income tax for the temporary difference should be reported as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital;


The foregoing consensus is effective for reporting periods commencing after December 15, 2005, and is required to be applied retrospectively to all debt instruments containing beneficial conversion features that are subject to EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Debt Instruments,” and thus is applicable to debt instruments converted or extinguished in prior periods but which are still presented in the financial statements.  In situations in which establishment of this deferred tax liability requires the reduction of a valuation allowance on existing deferred tax assets, such reduction should also be allocated to additional paid-in capital.


The adoption of this new accounting policy has had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, as the reduction of the valuation allowance offsets the recognition of the deferred tax liability.

On July 13, 2006, in conjunction with the modification of the 10% senior secured promissory notes (note 7), the Corporation issued $250,000 in principal amount of its 10% promissory notes.  The note had a maturity date of July 13, 2007, and was unsecured.  Under the terms of the note, the Corporation could pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the note without penalty or bonus; interest was payable at maturity.  A condition of the 10% promissory note was that in the event the note was not repaid on or before October 11, 2006 from the proceeds of a pre-identified $500,000 financing, the Corporation would be required to issue 500,000 common shares to the holder of the note as a penalty.  The Corporation did not meet this condition, and as a result, 500,000 common shares, valued at $45,000 were issued to the holder on October 11, 2006.  This penalty has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006.


The holder of the note was granted 1,000,000 common shares of the Corporation upon issuance of the note.  In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $150,000, representing the relative fair value of the shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares.  The 10% promissory note was being accreted to its face value on the effective interest method, through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the note.


During the period from July 13 to December 21, 2006, the Corporation accreted the note payable through charges to interest expense totaling $44,956.

The 10% promissory note was amended and replaced by a 10% senior secured convertible note (note 7) on December 21, 2006.  The new note is “substantially different” from the original note, as that term is defined in EITF 96-19: “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.  Accordingly, the Corporation has accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of the original debt, which resulted in a gain of $44,956 on the extinguishment (note 11).

10% Senior secured convertible notes:


On June 1, 2006, the Corporation issued a total of $500,000 of its 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The notes were secured by a first position lien on all of the assets of the Corporation and had a maturity date of June 1, 2007.  Under the terms of the notes, the holders were permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Corporation at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt and accrued interest converted; the Corporation had the option of pre-paying all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus; and interest was payable quarterly, in arrears.  Additionally, the holders could demand repayment of 50% of the principal of the note, at such time as the Corporation completed an equity financing of $500,000 or more.


Holders of the notes were also granted 1,000,000 common shares of the Corporation upon issuance of the notes.  In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $170,000, representing the relative fair value of the shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid in capital.


At the date of issuance, the conversion feature of the notes was “in-the-money”.  The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature was $330,000.  In accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” this amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

10% Senior secured convertible notes (continued):


On December 21, 2006, the Corporation issued $150,000 of its 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The notes are secured by a first position lien on all of the assets of the Corporation, and have a maturity date of July 1, 2008.  Under the terms of the notes, the holders are permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Corporation at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt and accrued interest converted; the Corporation has the option of pre-paying all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus; and interest is payable quarterly, in arrears.


Holders of the notes were also granted 600,000 common shares of the Corporation upon issuance of the notes.  In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $44,802, representing the relative fair value of the common shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid-in capital.


At the date of issuance, the conversion feature of the notes was not “in-the-money”, and accordingly, none of the principal balance was allocated to additional paid-in capital.

10% Senior secured convertible notes (continued):


On July 11, 2006, in conjunction with the issuance of $250,000 in promissory notes (note 5), $500,000 of the 10% senior secured convertible notes were amended and restated as follows:  the first position lien on all of the assets of the Corporation was removed; the date of maturity was extended by one year to June 1, 2008; the Corporation was given the option of paying the quarterly interest either in cash or in common shares of the Corporation; the provision allowing the holder to demand immediate repayment of 50% of the face value of the note in the event of an equity financing by the Corporation of at least $500,000 was removed.  These amendments collectively resulted in the new notes being “substantially different” from the original notes, as that term is defined in EITF 96-19: “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.  Accordingly the Corporation accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of the original debt, which resulted in a gain on the extinguishment of $38,097; the accounting values relating to the modified 10% senior secured convertible notes were reclassified to 10% convertible notes at the date of modification.


On December 21, 2006, the 10% promissory note (note 5) was amended and replaced by a 10% senior secured convertible note.  Accordingly, the modified 10% promissory note has been reclassified as a 10% senior secured convertible note as of the date of the modification.


Also on December 21, 2006, in conjunction with the modification of the 10% promissory note (note 5), $500,000 in principal amount of the 10% senior convertible notes (note 8) were amended and replaced by 10% senior secured convertible notes.  Accordingly, the modified 10% senior convertible notes have been reclassified as 10% senior secured convertible notes as of the date of the modification.


The 10% senior secured convertible notes are being accreted to their face value on an effective yield basis, through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the notes.


The following table sets forth the changes in the financial statement presentation of the balance allocated to 10% senior secured convertible notes at December 31, 2006:

10% Senior convertible notes:


On various dates between June 30 and December 21, 2006, the Corporation issued an aggregate of $750,000 of its 10% senior convertible notes.  $250,000 of the notes mature on July 1, 2008; $500,000 mature on October 1, 2008.  The notes are unsecured.  Under the terms of the notes, the holders are permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Corporation at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt converted; the Corporation may pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus; interest is payable quarterly, and may, at the Corporation’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Corporation.  If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be calculated using a 10% discount to the average closing price of the common stock, as listed on the exchange where the Corporation’s common stock is traded, for the ten days prior to the date the interest is due to the holder.


Holders of the notes were also granted an aggregate of 1,200,000 common shares of the Corporation upon issuance of the notes.  In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $189,600, representing the relative fair value of the common shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid-in capital.


At the date of issuance, the conversion feature relating to $600,000 in principal amount of the notes was “in-the-money”.  The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature was $185,297.  In accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ration” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” this amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital.


The 10% senior convertible notes are being accreted to their face value on the effective interest method, through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the notes.


On December 21, 2006, in conjunction with the modification of the 10% promissory note (note 5), $500,000 in principal amount of the 10% senior convertible notes were amended and restated as follows:  a general security agreement, covering all the assets of the Corporation, was registered in favor of the holders.  This amendment did not result in the new notes being “substantially different” from the original notes, as that term is defined in EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.  Accordingly, the modified notes have been reclassified as 10% senior secured convertible notes as of the date of the modification; no gain or loss has been recorded on the transaction.

On April 20, 2006, holders of the Series H warrants exercised 20,000 warrants, and purchased 20,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for cash proceeds of $10,000.


Effective June 1, 2006, the exercise price of the Corporation’s Series I warrants was adjusted from $0.90 to $0.10, in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreements, which call for the conversion rate to be adjusted at such time as the Corporation issues debt or equity instruments having a conversion rate lower than $0.90.  On June 1, 2006, the Corporation issued senior secured convertible notes (note 7), which have a conversion rate of $0.10.

The Corporation has two incentive equity plans, under which a maximum of 7,000,000 options to purchase 7,000,000 common shares may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation.  The granting of options, and the related terms, are determined at the discretion of the board of directors.  As of December 31, 2006, there were a total of 3,447,302 options granted under these plans, with exercise prices ranging from $0.33 to $0.67, and expiry dates ranging from May 7, 2008 to January 1, 2011.  3,272,302 of these options vested immediately upon issuance; 25,000 vested on November 14, 2006; and 150,000 vest on dates ranging from January 1, 2007 to November 14, 2008.  3,552,698 options remained available for grant under these plans as of December 31, 2006.

Related party transactions:


Included in accrued liabilities is $128,715 (December 31, 2005: $nil) in accrued salaries payable to the directors and a former director of the Corporation.


Included in 12% promissory notes payable (note 5) is $7,902 payable to a company controlled by a director of the Corporation, and $18,438 payable to a director.  $221 in accrued interest charges relating to these notes is included in accrued liabilities and interest and finance costs.


As discussed in note 14(b), the Corporation also entered into an agreement to sublease excess office space to a related company.


14.

Guarantees and Commitments:


a)

Guarantees


The Corporation has entered into agreements which contain features which meet the definition of a guarantee under FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”).  FIN 45 defines a guarantee to be a contract that contingently requires the Corporation to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, common stock of the Corporation or through the provision of services) to a third party based on changes in an underlying economic characteristic (such as interest rates or market value) that is related to an asset, liability or an equity security of the other party.


The Corporation has the following guarantees which are subject to the disclosure and measurement requirements of FIN 45:

Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

(In U.S. dollars)


14.

Guarantees and Commitments (continued):


a)

Guarantees (continued)


(i) In the normal course of business, the Corporation entered into a lease agreement for facilities.  As the lessee, the Corporation agreed to indemnify the lessor for liabilities that may arise from the use of the leased facility.  The maximum amount potentially payable under the foregoing indemnity cannot be reasonably estimated.  The Corporation has liability insurance that relates to the indemnification described above.


(ii) The Corporation includes standard intellectual property indemnification clauses in its software license and service agreements.  Pursuant to these clauses, the Corporation holds harmless and agrees to defend the indemnified party, generally the Corporation’s business partners and customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or trade secret infringement claims by third parties with respect to the Corporation’s products.  The term of the indemnification clauses is generally perpetual any time after execution of the software license and service agreement.  In the event an infringement claim against the Corporation or an indemnified party is successful, the Corporation, at its sole option, agrees to do one of the following:  (i) procure for the indemnified party the right to continue use of the software; (ii) provide a modification to the software so that its use becomes non-infringing; (iii) replace the software with software which is substantially similar in functionality and performance; or (iv) refund the residual value of the software license fees paid by the indemnified party for the infringing software.  The Corporation believes the estimated fair value of these intellectual property indemnification clauses is minimal.


Historically, the Corporation has not made any significant payments related to the above-noted indemnities and accordingly, no liability related to the contingent features of these guarantees has been accrued in the financial statements.


b)

Commitment


During April, 2004, the Corporation entered into a lease agreement for office space. In July 2005, and in April 2007, the lease period was extended for periods of one and three years, respectively.   Minimum annual rent, including operating costs, payable under this contract is approximately as follows:

Guarantees and Commitments (continued):

b)

Commitment (continued)


Effective July 1, 2004, the Corporation also entered into an agreement to sublease excess office space to a related company.  The companies are related by virtue of an officer and director of the Corporation being also an officer and director of the other company.  Included in accounts receivable is $nil (2005 - $5,508) in rent receivable pursuant to this sublease agreement.  The transaction has been recorded at the exchange amount.  Rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, has been reduced by sublease income of $31,808 (2005 – $29,709).  The anticipated remaining sublease income is approximately as follows:  2007 - $10,297.   


Rent expense incurred under the operating lease for the year ended December 31, 2005, net of sublease income, was $118,647 (2005 - $113,882).


15.  Contingent liability:


On December 21, 2006, a former director of the Corporation commenced legal action against the Corporation with respect to approximately $42,905 in unpaid salary owing to the former director at the date of his retirement, plus costs with respect to collecting the amount due.  The Corporation is contesting this action; however a liability for unpaid salary in the amount of $42,905 has been included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2006.  As of the date of the financial statements, additional costs which may become payable in relation to this claim cannot be reasonably estimated; as such, no provision has been made in the accounts for any such additional costs.    


16.  Financial instruments:


The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, capital lease obligation and promissory notes payable approximates fair value due to the short term to maturity of these instruments.  The 10% senior secured convertible notes, and the 10% convertible notes, were recorded at their relative fair value at the date of issuance, and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes.

Also on January 16, 2007, the Corporation issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to an unrelated party in settlement of $60,000 in fees payable, which was included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2006.

Subsequent events (continued:


Also on March 9, 2007, the Corporation received $200,000 in cash proceeds from the issuance of its 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The notes mature on June 1, 2008, and are secured by a general assignment of all assets of the Corporation.  Under the terms of the note, the holder is permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Corporation at a ration of one common share for each $0.06 of debt converted; the Corporation may pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus; interest is payable quarterly, and may, at the Corporation’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Corporation.  If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be calculated using a 10% discount to the average closing price of the common stock, as listed on the exchange where the Corporation’s common stock

is traded, for the ten days prior to the date the interest is due to the holder.  The Corporation issued 400,000 shares if its common stock to the holder pursuant to the terms of the note.


On March 9, 2007, the Corporation issued 49,333 shares of its common stock in satisfaction of finance fees relating to the $200,000 in senior convertible notes issued on the same date.


On March 14, 2007, the Corporation issued 25,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of a contract with an unrelated party to provide investor relations services to the Corporation for a one month period.


In April, 2007, the Corporation negotiated an agreement with respect to a three year extension of its lease, for 3,287 square feet of office space, a reduction of 2,289 square feet from the 5,576 square feet it currently occupies.  


On May 15, 2007, the Corporation received $250,000 in cash proceeds from the issuance of its 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The notes mature on May 31, 2009, and are unsecured.  Under the terms of the note, the holder is permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Corporation at a ration of one common share for each $0.03 of debt converted; the Corporation may pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes, without penalty or bonus, provided the holder grants permission to do so. Interest is not payable until such time as payment is requested by the holder, and may, at the Corporation’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Corporation.  If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be calculated using a 10% discount to the average closing price of the common stock, as listed on the exchange where the Corporation’s common stock is traded, for the ten days prior to the date the interest is due to the holder.  The Corporation issued 750,000 shares if its common stock to the holder pursuant to the terms of the note.

Item 8.  Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures.


There have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants with respect to accounting and/or financial statements.


Item 8A.  Controls and Procedures.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.  This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, our independent registered public accounting firm advised the Board of Directors and management of certain significant internal control deficiencies that they considered to be, in the aggregate, a material weakness. These internal control deficiencies were first identified by our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.  In particular, our independent registered public accounting firm identified the following weaknesses in our internal control system:  (1) a lack of segregation of duties; and (2) the lack of timely preparation of certain back up schedules.  The independent registered public accounting firm indicated that they considered these deficiencies to be reportable conditions as that term is defined under the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level of risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We considered these matters in connection with the period-end closing of accounts and preparation of the related consolidated financial statements and determined that no prior period financial statements were materially affected by such matters.  Notwithstanding the material weakness identified by our independent registered public accountants, we believe that the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operation and cash flows of the Corporation as of, and for, the periods represented in this report.

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources at this time to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system.  We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing within the Company.

We were unable to eliminate the identified weaknesses with respect to the period covered by this report.  However, we began to implement some of the steps identified below to remediate the material weakness to the extent that our size and resources allowed us during 2004. Set forth below is a discussion of the significant internal control deficiencies that have not been remediated.


Lack of segregation of duties.  Since commencing the development phase of our operations in August 1999, our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system.  Until the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2005, we had only three people involved in the processing of accounting entries:  the Office Administrator, the Controller and the Chief Financial Officer.  It was therefore difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties.  During the fourth quarter of 2005, we retained the services of a part-time independent consultant to assist in performing routine, month end accounting procedures.  This consultant left the Corporation effective May, 2005, however, and has not been replaced.   While we strive to segregated duties as much as practicable, there is insufficient volume of transactions to justify additional full time staff.

As a result, this significant internal control deficiency had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report, nor do we know if we will be able to remediate this weakness in the foreseeable future.  However, we will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.


Lack of timely preparation of back up schedules.  Throughout 2005 and until the third quarter of 2006, we were able to complete most of our back up schedules prior to the arrival of our independent registered public accountants’ audit staff.  However, we did not file our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 until November 24, 2006, partially as a result of our lack timely preparation of back up schedules; the audit of our 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 was also delayed for this reason.  As such, we believe that this material weakness had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report, although progress in remediation had been made.  One of our objectives in hiring the part-time consultant during the fourth quarter of 2005 to perform routine, month end accounting procedures, was to improve the timeliness of preparation of back up schedules and thus permit us to complete our financial reporting on a more timely basis.  This individual provided some assistance in these areas, however the arrangement did not work out as anticipated, and the consultant was no longer engaged by us as of May 2006.  Effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we have commenced the process of reviewing and expanding our formal month-end procedures, with the objective of improving the timeliness of the preparation of future quarterly reports and related back up schedules.  


If we are unable to remediate the identified material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.


As required by the SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report.  This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.  Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that our controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report due to existence of the significant internal control deficiencies described above.


There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting, other than the measures noted above, during the year ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert


The SEC has adopted rules to implement certain requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 pertaining to public company audit committees. One of the rules adopted by the SEC requires a company to disclose whether it has an “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee. Our board of directors has not yet established an audit committee and as a result provides the functions of an audit committee.  As such, our board has not yet appointed an audit committee financial expert.  We believe that our board of directors, taken as a whole, has the financial, accounting and other relevant education and experience necessary to



82




qualify as an audit committee financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B.  At this time, our board of directors believes it would be desirable to have an audit committee, and for the audit committee to have an audit committee financial expert serving on the committee. While informal discussions as to potential candidates have occurred, at this time no formal search process has commenced.


Code of Ethics Policy


We have not yet adopted a code of ethics policy because we are a development stage company, in the early stages of operations. We intend to adopt a code of ethics policy in the future.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934


To our knowledge, based solely on a review of such materials as are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, none of our officers, directors or beneficial holders of more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock failed to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any form or report required to be so filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during the year ended December 31, 2005.

We have issued options pursuant to our Amended and Restated Incentive Equity Plan, which was adopted by our board of directors and became effective on May 30, 2003.  The plan, as amended and restated, was approved by our stockholders on February 25, 2005.  The amended and restated plan is administered by the board of directors, who has the authority to grant stock options and stock appreciation rights to our officers, employees and consultants.  A total of 3,912,302 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the terms of the Amended and Restated Incentive Equity Plan.  In the event of certain mergers, sales of assets, reorganizations, consolidations, recapitalizations, stock dividends or other changes in corporate structure affecting our common stock, the committee administering the plan must make an equitable substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan and in the number of shares exercisable under, and the exercise price of, outstanding options under the plan.


In respect of our Amended and Restated Incentive Equity Plan, we have granted options to purchase an aggregate of 3,912,302 shares of our common stock to non-employees in consideration for consulting services rendered. These options entitle the holders to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share.  The options vested immediately upon their issuance, and are exercisable until May 7, 2008, provided the holder remains engaged by us as of that date, with provision for early forfeiture in the event the holder ceases to be engaged by us prior to the stated expiry date.  Of the 3,912,302 options originally granted under this plan, none were exercised as of March 30, 2007, and 2,315,000 expired during the year ended December 31, 2005 on termination of the related consulting agreement, leaving 1,597,302 currently outstanding.
