VALIDIAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

(Unaudited)


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


Since August 3, 1999, the efforts of the Company have been devoted primarily to the development of a high speed, highly secure method of exchanging data files using the internet, and to the sale and marketing of the Company’s products.  Prior to August 3, 1999, the Company 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 Company 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.


1.  Basis of Presentation


The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Validian Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While management has based its assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances currently known, final amounts may differ from such estimates.


The interim financial statements contained herein are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Moreover, these financial statements do not purport to contain complete disclosure in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2006.


The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has no revenues, has a stockholders deficiency of $2,937,855 as at March 31, 2007, and has incurred a loss of $976,927 and negative cash flow from operations of $257,098 for the three months then ended.  The Company also expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and has no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place.


During May 2007, the Company received cash proceeds of $250,000 from the issuance of its 10% senior convertible notes.  It expects to incur operating expenditures of approximately $3.1 million for the year ending December 31, 2007.  In the event the Company cannot raise the additional 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan to address these issues includes raising capital through the private placement of equity, the exercise of previously-issued equity instruments and through the issuance of additional promissory notes.  The Company’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 Company’s position and or results of operations and could also result in the Company 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.

1.  Basis of Presentation (continued)


Even if successful in obtaining financing in the near term, the Company 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 Company’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 Company.


2.  Significant Accounting Policies


(a)  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.


(b)  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 Company.  Assets acquired under capital leases are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, being 4 years.  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.


(c)  Deferred financing costs:


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


(d)  Revenue recognition:


For sales of product licenses, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


 (e)  Stock based compensation:


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.


In adopting SFAS 123R, the Company applied the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this method, the Company recognizes 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 were not adjusted.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued $59,897 in principal amount of its12% promissory notes.


On July 13, 2006, in conjunction with the modification of the 10% senior secured convertible notes (note 6), the Company 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 Company could pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes without penalty or bonus; interest is payable at maturity. A condition of the 10% 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 Company would be required to issue 500,000 shares of its common stock to the holder of the note as a penalty.  The Company did not meet this early pre-payment condition, and as a result, 500,000 common shares, valued at $45,000 were issued to the holder on October 11, 2006.  


The holder of the notes was granted 1,000,000 common shares of the Company upon issuance of the notes.  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 shares.  The 10% promissory note was being accreted to its face value on an effective yield basis, through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the note.


During the period from July 13 to December 21, 2006 the Company 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 6) on December 21, 2006.  The new note was “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 Company accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of the original debt, which resulted in a gain of $44,956 on the extinguishment (note 10).

6.  10% Senior secured convertible notes


On March 9, 2007, the Company issued $200,000 in principal of its 10% senior secured convertible notes.  The notes are secured by a first position lien on all of the assets of the Company, 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 Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.06 of debt converted; the Company 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, at such time as the holder requests payment, and may, at the Company’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  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 Company’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 400,000 common shares of the Company upon issuance of the notes.  In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” $37,024, 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 “in-the-money”.  The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature was $37,024.  In accordance with EITF 98-05, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, this amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital.


On June 1, 2006, the Company 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 Company, 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 Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt converted; the Company 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 value of the note, at such time as the Company completed an equity financing of $500,000 or more.


Holders of the notes were also granted 1,000,000 common shares of the Company 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 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 “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 Ratios” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” this amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital.


On December 21, 2006 the Company 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 Company, and have a maturity date of July 1, 2008.  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 Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt converted; the Company 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 and could, at the Company’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  If interest was paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement was to be calculated using a 10% discount to the average closing price of the common stock, as listed on the exchange where the Company’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 600,000 common shares of the Company 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”: accordingly, none of the principal balance was allocated to additional paid-in capital upon issuance of the $150,000 senior secured convertible notes.

On March 9, 2007, in conjunction with the issuance of the $200,000 10% senior secured convertible notes as described above, $900,000 of 10% senior secured convertible notes issued during 2006 were amended as follows:  the ratio at which the outstanding principal plus accrued interest thereon could be converted into common stock of the Company was changed from $0.10 to $0.06; interest on the notes shall be accrued until such time as the holder requests payment.  These amendments resulted in the terms of the amended notes being “substantially different” from the terms of 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 Company accounted for the modification as an extinguishment of the original debt, which resulted in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $177,234.


On July 11, 2006, in conjunction with the issuance of $250,000 in promissory notes (note 4), $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 Company was removed; the date of maturity was extended by one year to June 1, 2008; the Company was given the option of paying the quarterly interest either in cash or in common shares of the Company; 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 Company of at least $500,000, was removed.  These amendments collectively resulted in the amended 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 Company 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 the modification.


On December 21, 2006 the 10% promissory note (note 4) was amended and replaced by a 10% senior secured convertible note.  Accordingly, the modified 10% promissory note was 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 4), $500,000 in principal amount of the 10% senior convertible notes (note 6) 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.

7.  10% Senior convertible notes


On various dates between June 30 and December 21, 2006 the Company 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 Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.10 of debt converted; the Company 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 Company’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  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 Company’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 Company 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 Ratios” 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 an effective interest rate basis, through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the notes.

12.  Related Party Transactions


As discussed further in note 13(b), the Company subleased excess office space to a company which was a related party until December 31, 2006.


Included in 12% promissory notes payable is $7,902 payable to a company controlled by a director of the Company, and $18,438 payable to a director.  $1,023 in accrued interest charges relating to these notes is included in accrued liabilities at March 31, 2007; $802 is included in interest and finance charges for the period then ended.


Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is $185,570 (December 31, 2006: $128,715) in accrued salaries payable to the directors and a former director of the Company.



13.  Guarantees and Commitments


(a) Guarantees


The Company 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 Company to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, common stock of the Company 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 Company has the following guarantees which are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45:  


(i) In the normal course of business, the Company entered into a lease agreement for facilities.  As the lessee, the Company 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 Company has liability insurance that relates to the indemnification described above.   


(ii) The Company includes standard intellectual property indemnification clauses in its software license and service agreements.  Pursuant to these clauses, the Company holds harmless and agrees to defend the indemnified party,

13.  Guarantees and Commitments (continued)


(a) Guarantees (continued)


generally the Company’s business partners and customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or trade secret infringement claims by third parties with respect to the Company’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 Company or an indemnified party is successful, the Company, 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 Company believes the estimated fair value of these intellectual property indemnification clauses is minimal.  


Historically, the Company 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 Company 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 payable under this contract, including operating costs, is approximately as follows:

Effective July 1, 2004, the Company also entered into an agreement to sublease excess office space to a related company.  The companies were related until December 31, 2006 by virtue of an officer and director of the Company being also an officer and director of the other company.  Rental expense for the period, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, has been reduced by sublease income of $7,714 (2006 - $7,794).  The anticipated remaining sublease income is approximately as follows:  2007 - $7,790.  The transaction has been recorded at the exchange amount.


Rent expense incurred under the operating lease for the three months ended March 31, 2007, net of sublease income was $29,761 (2006 - $29,059).  



14.  Supplementary Cash Flow Information


The Company paid no income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2007, nor during the three months ended March 31, 2006.   Interest paid in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 was $373 and $2,223, respectively.

15.  Subsequent Events


On May 16, 2007, the Company received $250,000 in cash proceeds from the issuance of its 10% senior 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 Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.03 of debt converted; the Company 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 accrued until such time as payment is requested by the holder, with maximum payment frequency being quarterly, and may, at the Company’s option, be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  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 Company’s common stock is traded, for the ten days prior to the date the interest is due to the holder.  The Company issued 750,000 shares of its common stock to the holder pursuant to the terms of the note.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION


We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that we make in this report.  For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.”  These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” or similar terms.  These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to many things, some of which are:


·

trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations for our limited history;

·

our business and growth strategies;

·

our technology;

·

the Internet; and

·

our financing plans.


We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties.  In fact, actual results most likely will differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Some factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include:


·

our limited operating history;

·

our lack of sales to date;

·

our requirements for additional capital funding;

·

the failure of our technology and products to perform as specified;

·

the discontinuance of growth in the use of the Internet;

·

the enactment of new adverse government regulations; and

·

the development of better technology and products by others.


You should carefully consider and evaluate all of these factors.  In addition, we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements after we file this report with the SEC, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading.


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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and updated in note 2 to our March 31, 2007 Interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.  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 March 31, 2007 Interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.


Revenue recognition:


For sales of product licenses, we recognize 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.




31




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, we follow 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 we 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.


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 product is 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 product resulting in a change to amortization expense and impairment charges.


Stock based compensation:


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.


In adopting SFAS 123R, the Company has applied the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this method, the Company 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 Company continues to provide pro forma disclosure for these periods, as presented below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006


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 has been collected.  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.


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 revenues 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred a total of $428,132, including $305,211 in cash-based expenses and $122,921 in stock-based expenses, as compared to $550,736, of which $437,991 was cash-based and $112,745 was stock-based expense, during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  There was an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $122,604 (22%), comprised of a $132,780 (30%) decrease in the cash-based component, which was partially offset by a $10,176 (9%) increase in the stock-based component of this expense.  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 three months ended March 31, 2006.  We have made efforts to reduce costs in these departments, through measures such as reducing the number of personnel in these departments, 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.  


Cash-based administrative expenses also decreased significantly during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of a reduction in fees paid to investor relations consultants, and a reduction in salaries due to the retirement of a director and officer on December 31, 2006.


The stock-based component of selling, general and administrative expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003, and on the extension, during the three months ended September 30, 2005, of the expiry date of these warrants from August 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006; amortization of prepaid consulting fees recorded during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 on the issuance of common stock as fees for services rendered during 2006 and 2007; and the fair value of unvested employee stock options earned during the period.  The stock-based component of this expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003; the issuance of common stock as compensation for investor relations services rendered during the period; and the fair value of unvested employee stock options earned during the period.


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 three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $243,224 developing our software applications, which represents a decrease of $60,169 (20%) from the $303,393 we incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  The overall decrease is due primarily to the cost of developing a software component designed to assist a customer in implementing our software during the first quarter of 2006, for which there was no comparable cost during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Costs in this department were further reduced during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of a decrease in the size of the Europe-based contract development group from an average of 22 personnel during the three months ended March 31, 2006, to an average of 20 personnel during the three months ended March 31, 2007.   




33




Interest and financing costs:  Interest and financing costs during the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior secured convertible notes, our 10% senior convertible notes, our 12% promissory notes payable and interest on the capital lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, these costs included interest and financing costs associated with our 12% promissory notes payable and interest on the capital lease only.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $185,251 in interest and financing costs, an increase of $174,061 (1,556%) from the $11,190 in interest and financing costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  


Of the $185,251 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2007, $118,499 relates to our 10% senior secured convertible notes, $47,485 relates to our 10% senior convertible notes, $18,894 relates to our 12% promissory notes and $373 relates to the capital lease.  The $118,499 in interest and financing costs relating to our 10% senior secured convertible notes is comprised of:  $23,683 of accrued interest charges; $75,809 of accretion of the principal through charges to interest expenses; and $19,007 of amortization of deferred financing costs. The 10% senior secured convertible notes were issued during the second and fourth quarters of 2006, therefore there is no comparable cost for the three months ended March 31, 2006.


The $47,484 in interest and financing costs relating to our 10% senior convertible notes is comprised of:  $18,750 of accrued interest charges; $20,473 of accretion of the principal through charges to interest expenses; and $8,262 of amortization of deferred financing costs.  The 10% senior convertible notes were issued during the second and third quarters of 2006, therefore there is no comparable cost for the three months ended March 31, 2006.


Interest on our 12% promissory notes increased by $8,339 (79%), from $10,555 during the three months ended March 31, 2006, to $18,894 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This increase occurred as a result of an increase of $367,114 in the principal outstanding on the notes during the period from February 2006 to February 2007, which increased the balance on which interest was charged during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2006.  There was a decrease of $262 in the amount of interest incurred on our capital lease, as a result of a reduction in the principal outstanding.  


Loss on extinguishment of debt and accrued liabilities:  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the terms of our 10% senior secured convertible notes were modified.  A loss of $177,234 was recorded on this transaction.  We also incurred a loss of $8,283 on the settlement of accrued interest on our 10% senior secured convertible notes and our 10% senior secured notes, as a result of the difference in market value of the stock issued in settlement, and the actual amount of the liability settled.  These losses were partially offset by a gain of $80,324 on the issuance of 1,275,000 common shares, valued at $47,175, in settlement of accrued liabilities totaling $127,500, and a gain of $2,300 on the issuance of 100,000 common shares, valued at $3,700, as partial consideration for finance fees payable.  There were no comparable transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2006.


Net loss: We incurred a loss of $976,927 ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a loss of $877,864 ($0.03 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:


·

license the software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

·

be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

·

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-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 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 March 31, 2007, we had $9,462 in cash and cash equivalents, and at December 31, 2006, we had $7,780 in cash and cash equivalents.  Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,682 during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Our net loss of $976,927, and resulting cash used in operations of $257,098, were offset by an increase in cash resulting from the issuance of $200,000 of 10% senior secured convertible notes and $59,897 from the issuance of 12% promissory notes  Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $49,554 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 primarily as a result of our net loss of $877,864, and resulting cash used in operations of $268,836, which were partially offset by an increase in



34




cash resulting from the issuance of $220,200 in 12% promissory notes.  In May 2007, we raised an additional $250,000 through the issuance of 10% senior convertible notes.


Our independent registered public accountants included an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.  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 deficit of $24,643,182 as at December 31, 2006; our 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.   At March 31, 2007, we had negative working capital of $2,025,189 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $25,620,109; for the three months then ended we had a net loss of $976,927 and negative cash flow from operations of $257,098; and note 1 to our unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2007 also discusses the continuing substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.     


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 sale 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 has been collected.  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 third quarter of 2007, however we cannot be assured that this will be the case.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007 one of our full-time employees left the Company.  We have no plans to hire additional personnel during the next 6 months.  We have not made, nor do we expect to make, any material commitments for capital equipment expenditures during the next 12 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.  Since February 2006, we have engaged financial advisers to provide advice to us with respect to the raising of capital.  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 issuance 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 three months ended March 31, 2007, we issued $59,897 of 12% promissory notes and $200,000 of 10% senior secured convertible notes, which generated cash for funding operations.  In addition, we issued 4,025,000 common shares in consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered, 149,333 common shares in consideration for finance fees, 1,275,000 common shares in settlement of accrued liabilities, 659,001 common shares issued in settlement of accrued interest on our 10% senior secured convertible notes and our 10% senior convertible notes, all of which reduced our requirement for cash.  During May 2007, we received $250,000 on the issuance of 10% senior convertible notes.


The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements which would have provided the Company 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 three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by approximately 20% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, as a result of cash conservation efforts.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by approximately 22% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, due to several factors, including a reduction in selling and marketing initiatives, and as explained more fully under “Results of Operation.”



35





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 Company.  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.


ITEM 3.   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.  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 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 Company 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, commencing during the second quarter of 2004.   Set forth below is a discussion of the significant internal control deficiencies which 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 with 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 Company effective May 2006, however, and has not been replaced.  While we strive to segregate 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, 2004, partially as a result of our lack of timely preparation of back up schedules.  We did not file our annual report on form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 until May 18, 2007, which late filing was also partially the result of our lack of timely preparedness.  As such, we believe that this material weakness had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report.  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 latter part of 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 the existence of the significant internal control deficiencies described above.


No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
