For Immediate Release

NORTHCORE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2012 RESULTS

Toronto, Ontario – April 1, 2013 – Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of asset management and social commerce solutions, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  All figures are in Canadian dollars.

Northcore reported consolidated revenues of $330,000 for the fourth quarter, representing an increase of $118,000 or 56 percent from the $212,000 generated in the same period of 2011.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, Northcore reported consolidated revenues of $1,362,000, an increase of $577,000 or 74 percent from the $785,000 reported in 2011.  The significant growth in revenues was attributed primarily to the increase in social commerce services revenues as a result of the acquisition of Envision Online Media Inc. during 2012.

Northcore derives its revenues from application hosting activities provided to customers, the sale of software licenses, and the delivery of technology services, such as application and web development, software customization and social commerce solutions.

Northcore reported an Operational EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of $380,000, a slight increase of $11,000 or three percent from the Operational EBITDA loss of $369,000 reported for the same quarter of 2011.  Northcore reported year-to-date Operational EBITDA loss of $1,527,000,a slight improvement of $40,000 or three percent compared to the Operational EBITDA loss of $1,567,000 reported in 2011.

Operational EBITDA is defined as the loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation, non-cash and non-recurring items.  The Company considers Operational EBITDA to be a meaningful performance measure as it provides an approximation of operating cash flows.

For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012, Northcore reported a net loss per share of $0.001 and $0.009 respectively, basic and diluted. This compares to a loss per share of $0.003 and $0.020 respectively, basic and diluted, in the same period of 2011.

As at December 31, 2012, Northcore held cash and short-term investment of $62,000 and accounts receivable of $171,000.

2012 Financial Statements

March 28, 2013

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT

March 28, 2013

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements accompanying this annual report and the presentation of all other information in this report is the responsibility of management.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and reflect management’s best estimates and judgments.  All other financial information in the report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements.  The Company maintains appropriate systems of internal control, policies and procedures which provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that financial records are reliable and form a proper basis for preparation of financial statements.

The Board of Directors ensures that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control through an Audit Committee which is composed of non-executive directors. The Audit Committee reviewed the consolidated financial statements with management and external auditors and recommended their approval by the Board of Directors.  The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Collins Barrow Toronto LLP, Chartered Accountants.  Their report stating the scope of their audit and their opinion on the consolidated financial statements is presented below.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of Northcore Technologies Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Northcore Technologies Inc., and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Northcore Technologies Inc., and its subsidiaries, as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which describes the material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about Northcore Technologies Inc.'s, and its subsidiaries, ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010

(in Canadian dollars)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Northcore Technologies Inc. (“Northcore” or the “Company”) provides enterprise level software products and services that enable its customers to purchase, manage and dispose of capital equipment.  Utilizing award-winning, multi-patented technology, as well as powerful, holistic Social Commerce tools, Northcore's solutions support customers throughout the entire asset lifecycle.  Northcore’s portfolio companies include Envision Online Media Inc. (“Envision”), a specialist in the delivery of content management solutions.

Northcore owns 50 percent of GE Asset Manager, LLC (“GE Asset Manager” or “GEAM”), a joint business venture with GE Capital Corporation, through its business division GE Commercial Finance, Capital Solutions.

Northcore’s shares trade on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: NTI) and the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB: NTLNF).  The principal and registered office of the Company is located at 302 The East Mall, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M9B 6C7.

2. GOING CONCERN

While the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, certain adverse conditions and events cast substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption.  Financial statements are required to be prepared on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or cease trading or has no realistic alternative but to do so within the foreseeable future.  The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations.  The Company has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources of financing to fund operations.  The continued existence beyond 2012 is dependent on the Company’s ability to increase revenue from existing products and services, and to expand the scope of its product offering which entails a combination of internally developed software and business ventures with third parties, and to raise additional financing.  The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business plan or assure that efforts to raise additional financings will be successful.

These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.  If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the reported losses and the classifications used in the statements of financial position.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis other than certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

These statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 28, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Envision Online Media Inc., Kahootkids! Inc., and ADB USA Inc.  Investments in associates and interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.  Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

(in Canadian dollars)

Foreign Currencies

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.  The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.  The Company translates monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date.  Non-monetary assets are translated at historic exchange rates.  Revenue and expense amounts are translated using the average monthly exchange rates except depreciation of capital assets, which is translated at historic exchange rates.  Gains and losses from foreign exchange translations are included in the statement of operations.

Investments

On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued the new standard, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements.  The effective date for this standard is January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted.  This standard requires investments in joint ventures to be accounted using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28, Investments in Associates.

Prior to January 1, 2010, the consolidated financial statements of the Company reflected the Company’s pro rata share of the joint venture’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations in accordance with the proportionate consolidation method of accounting.  On January 1, 2010, the Company early adopted IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, and accounted for the investment using the equity method of accounting in accordance with IAS 28 (as amended), Investments in Associates.  As a result of the early adoption, assets, liabilities, income and expense accounts have been restated to reflect the investment using the equity method of accounting since its inception.  Additionally, as required under IFRS 11, the Company was required to early adopt IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, IAS 27 (as amended) and IAS 28 (as amended).

Equity method investees are entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control.  Generally, the Company has a shareholding of between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting rights in its equity method investees.  Investments in equity method investees are accounted for using the equity method as follows:

●   Investments are initially recognized at cost;

●   The Company’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement and is adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments;

●   When the Company’s share of losses equals or exceeds its interest in the investee, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the investee; and

●   Gains and losses on transactions between the Company and its equity method investees are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities.

Capital Assets and Depreciation

Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of capital assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Computer hardware                                          3 years

Computer software                                           1 year or life of the license

Furniture and fixtures                                      5 years

Leasehold improvements                                Shorter of useful life or life of the lease

Intangible Assets

Upon acquisition, identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.  Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Intellectual properties                                               5 - 10 years

Intellectual properties are comprised of customer lists, trade names and acquired technologies.  Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

Research and Product Development Costs

The Company incurs costs associated with the design and development of new products.  Expenditures during the research phase are expensed as incurred.  Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if the Company can demonstrate each of the following criteria are met: i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, ii) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it, iii) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset, iv) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and vi) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development; otherwise they are expensed as incurred.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company capitalized $129,000 of development costs in connection with the Discount This Platform (See Note 7).

The costs of software internally developed for client applications through e-commerce enabling agreements and software licensing are expensed as incurred.  The costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are also recognized as an expense as incurred.

Impairment

Impairments are recorded when the recoverable amount of assets are less than their carrying amounts.  The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell or its value in use.  In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit, for which the estimated future cash flows from the asset were not adjusted. Certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters including management’s expectations of future revenues, timing and quantum of future capital expenditure, long-term growth rates of subscribers and discount rates, to reflect the risks involved.In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.  Impairment losses, other than those relating to goodwill, are evaluated for potential reversals when events or changes in circumstances warrant such consideration.

The carrying values of capital and intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

In addition, long-lived assets that are not amortized, such as equity investments, are subject to an annual impairment assessment.  Assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).

Cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a stock option plan for directors, officers and employees.  Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value.  The estimated fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of the grant using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.  Compensation expense is recognized over the tranche’s vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to vest, with the offset credited to stock options.  Performance based options are expensed based upon achievement of specific criteria.  The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed quarterly, with any impact being recognized immediately.  When options are exercised, the amount received is credited to share capital and the fair value attributed to these options is transferred from stock options to share capital.

(in Canadian dollars)

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the Company measures the goods and services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which cases, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted.

Financial Instruments with Separate Components

The secured subordinated notes are segregated into their debt and equity components at the date of issue.  The fair value of the debt component was calculated using market rates at the time the financial instrument was issued.  The remaining component, representing the value ascribed to the convertible feature, has been included in equity.  The difference between the face value and the ascribed value of the debt, is accreted to the original face value of the secured subordinated notes over the respective terms of the notes and charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and loss as interest expense based on the effective interest method.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are classified into one of these five categories: financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); held-to-maturity; loans and receivables; available-for-sale financial assets; or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.  All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.  Subsequent measurement and changes in fair value will depend on their initial classification, as follows: financial assets or liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in net income; available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is de-recognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net income.

Transaction costs associated with FVTPL financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of loans and borrowings, directly attributable transaction costs.  Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

The Company designated its accounts receivable as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost.  The operating line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.  Cash, short-term investments and contingent consideration are designed as FVTPL.  The Company had neither available-for-sale, nor held-to-maturity instruments during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The Company had no “other comprehensive income or loss” transactions during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and no opening or closing balances for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are derived from services (application and web development activities, software implementation and license fees, training and consulting, product maintenance and customer support) and application hosting fees.  Fees for services are billed separately from licenses of the Company’s products.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognized when the following criteria are met:

●   The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

●   The stage of completion can be measured reliably;

●   The receipt of economic benefits is probable; and

●   The costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following criteria are met:

●   The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

●   The risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

●   The receipt of economic benefits is probable; and

●   The costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

In addition to the above general principles, the Company applies the following specific revenue recognition policies:

●   Application and Web Development Fees

Typically, development of applications for the Company’s customers are provided based on a predetermined fixed hourly rate basis.  Revenue is recognized as time is incurred throughout the development process.

●   Implementation, Training and Consulting Service Fees

The Company receives revenue from implementation of its product offerings, consulting services and training services.  Customers are charged a fee based on time and expenses.  Revenue from implementation, consulting service and training fees is recognized as the services are performed or deferred until contractually defined milestones are achieved or until customer acceptance has occurred, as the case may be, for such contracts.

●   Product Maintenance and Customer Support Fees

The Company receives revenue from maintaining its products and the provision of on-going support services to customers.  The maintenance and support fees are typically equal to a specified percentage of the customers’ license fee.  If associated with the fixed fee license model, the maintenance revenues received are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

Services revenue from maintenance and support is recognized when the services are performed.  Maintenance and support revenues paid in advance are non-refundable and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which typically is 12 months.

●   Hosting Fees

The Company earns revenue from the hosting of customer websites and applications.  Under existing hosting contracts, the Company charges customers a recurring periodic flat fee.  The fees are recognized as the hosting services are provided.

●   Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

The Company also enters into transactions that represent multiple elements arrangements, which may include one or more of the following: software, application development, maintenance, hosting, and/or other professional service offerings.  These multiple element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be sold separately in order to determine if they can be treated as more than one unit of accounting or element for the purpose of revenue recognition.  The Company allocates the arrangement fee, in a multiple element transaction, to the separate elements based on their relative selling prices, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price, and if both are not available, estimated selling prices are used.  The allocated portion of the arrangement which is undelivered is then deferred.

Loss Per Share

For all years presented, all stock options, convertible debentures and warrants are anti-dilutive, therefore diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.  The basic loss per share calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method.  The determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using substantively enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are recorded to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is probable that they will be realized.

Use of Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting years.  These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future.  These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior periods and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that the Company believes will materially affect the assumptions utilized in these consolidated financial statements.  Significant estimates made by the Company include the determination of identifiable assets in the business combination, the useful lives of intangible assets, the recoverable amount of intangible assets and goodwill, contingent consideration, valuation of stock-based payments and the expected requirements for non-operational funding.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company performed tests for impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2012.  The goodwill recorded in the consolidated financial statements relates to the acquisition of Envision and Kahootkids!.  The recoverable amount was estimated based on an assessment of its value in use using a discounted cash flow approach. The Company has made certain assumptions in determining the cash flow projections based on budgets approved by management and include management’s best estimate of expected market conditions. The cash flow projections include certain key assumptions regarding expected gross margins, current income tax rates and the purchase of property and equipment required to achieve revenue projections. The cash flow projections are discounted using the weighted average costs of capital that considers the uncertainties about the industry and assumptions relating to the sensitivity of the cash flows, depending on economic conditions and other events. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that future changes in assumptions may negatively impact future valuations of goodwill and the Company would be required to recognize an impairment loss.

The Company determines the fair value stock-based compensation using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model, which requires management to make assumptions regarding the volatility rate, risk free interest rate, average share price, expect term and dividend yield.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the Company. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new standards on the Company’s accounting policies and financial statement presentation.

●   IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures was amended by the IASB in December 2011 to provide additional information about offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities.  Additional disclosures will be required to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

●   IFRS 9, Financial Instruments was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39.  The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9.  The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39.  IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.

●   IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement was issued by the IASB in May 2011.  IFRS 13 establishes new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for IFRSs and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The guidance, set out in IFRS 13 and an update to Topic 820 in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (formerly referred to as SFAS 157), completes a major project of the boards’ joint work to improve IFRSs and US GAAP and to bring about their convergence.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

●   IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements was amended by the IASB in June 2011 in order to align the presentation of items in other comprehensive income with U.S. GAAP standards. Items in other comprehensive income will be required to be presented in two categories: items that will be reclassified into profit or loss and those that will not be reclassified.  The flexibility to present a statement of comprehensive income as one statement or two separate statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income remains unchanged.  The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

4. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND OPERATING LINE OF CREDIT

Short-term investments include a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of $41,000 with an annual interest rate of 0.75 percent.  The short-term investment is currently used as security for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) in connection with the operating line of credit.

The Company has an operating line of credit of $150,000 available with CIBC.  The line of credit bears interest at CIBC prime rate plus 1.75 percent and is due on demand.  The line of credit is secured by a GIC in the amount of $41,000, a general security agreement over the assets of the Company and a personal guarantee from a director.  The balance in the operating line of credit as at December 31, 2012 is $33,000 (2011 - $nil).

8.ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES

On March 27, 2012, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Envision, a specialist in the delivery of content management solutions. As part of the same transaction, the Company also acquired from common shareholders, 85 percent of the outstanding shares of Kuklamoo, a group discount and community portal targeting young families with children.

The purchase price was satisfied by the issuance of 7,778,000 common shares valued at $933,000 based on the Company’s closing share price of $0.12 on March 27, 2012.  In addition, a cash payment of $100,000 was paid at closing, with the remaining $200,000 to be paid over the next two years, subject to achieving specific performance criteria as set out by the Company.  IFRS 3, Business Combinations, requires the contingent cash payment to be measured at fair value as at the acquisition date.  The Company has determined the fair value of the contingent cash payment at inception to be $134,000 based on a discount rate of 13 percent and 80 percent probability of the performance criteria being satisfied.

Post acquisition revenues and net income of Envision and Kuklamoo are $695,000 (Services - $547,000, Hosting - $148,000) and $21,000, respectively.  Had this acquisition occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenues and net loss for the twelve months period would have been $868,000 and $27,000, respectively.

The consideration transferred and acquisition date fair values assigned to Envision and Kuklamoo’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

      Total Purchase Price:

	Amount
	(in thousands)
Cash	$	100
Common shares (7,778,000 at $0.12 per share)		933

(in Canadian dollars)

The change in the purchase price allocation from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was due to the Company setting up a deferred revenue balance in the amount of $35,000 at the acquisition date.

Envision’s customer base, technological expertise and geographic reach are all highly synergistic to Northcore’s stated objectives of expansion within the Social Commerce arena.  In addition, the skill set of the Envision team is completely complementary to Northcore and will allow the conjoined entity to target a higher tier of business development opportunities.

Goodwill of $1,091,000 represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The fair values of Envision Customer List and Trade Name in the amount of $28,000 and $60,000, respectively, and Kuklamoo technology in the amount of $48,000 were determined by independent third party valuation of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Acquisition related costs in the amount of $25,000 were expensed as incurred.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 15 percent of Kuklamoo.  As consideration, the Company agreed to pay 15 percent of the cumulative profits of Kuklamoo in the event of sale of Kuklamoo to a third party.  No provision has been recorded for this contingent consideration.

9.SECURED SUBORDINATED NOTES AND NOTES PAYABLE

a)   During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued Series N secured subordinated notes with a face value of $600,000.  The Series N notes matured on December 12, 2011, had an annual interest rate of 10 percent and were convertible into equity units at a price of $0.10 per unit.  Interest was payable in cash upon the earlier of each quarter end, conversion, or maturity of the notes.   Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant.  The warrants expired on December 12, 2011.  Dundee Securities Corporation received a brokerage commission of four percent on a portion of the private placement.  The afore-mentioned conversion provisions were subject to a four month and one day hold period.  The Series N notes were secured by a general security agreement on the assets of the Company, subordinated to the security claims provided to the holders of previously issued notes.

As required by IFRS, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series N secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series N notes by calculating the present value of the associated cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s underlying rate of borrowing, and has been classified as long-term debt.  The remaining component, representing the value ascribed to the conversion feature, has been included in equity.  The Company determined the fair value of the share and warrant conversion feature at the issue date of the Series N notes using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.  Financing costs in the amount of $8,000 were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.  The resulting fair values of the liability component of the notes and the conversion features of the units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $360,000, $133,000 and $107,000, respectively.  The liability component will be accreted to $600,000 over the term of the Series N notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, $600,000 (face value) of the Series N notes (book value of $592,000) were converted into 6,000,000 equity units represented by 6,000,000 common shares valued at $131,000 and 6,000,000 warrants valued at $106,000.

As required by IFRS, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series L secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series L notes by calculating the present value of the associated cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s underlying rate of borrowing, and has been classified as long-term debt.  The remaining component, representing the value ascribed to the conversion feature, has been included in equity.  The Company determined the fair value of the share and warrant conversion feature at the issue date of the Series L notes using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.  Financing costs in the amount of $21,000 were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.  The resulting fair values of the liability component of the notes and the conversion features of the units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $190,000, $182,000 and $153,000, respectively.  The liability component will be accreted to $525,000 over the term of the Series N notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

The Company’s revenue from software licensing and related services and e-commerce enabling agreements is transacted in Canadian and U.S. dollar currencies.  As a portion of the Company’s revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and expenses are transacted in Canadian dollars, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar may have a favorable impact on results.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred foreign exchange losses in the amount of $7,000 (2011 - $3,000, 2010 - $24,000), which is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has limited exposure to fluctuations in interest rates due to the Company’s debt instruments bearing fixed interest rates, with the exception of the operating line of credit bearing a floating interest rate, which the Company does not consider to be significant.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a customer will fail to meet its contractual obligations under a software licensing and related services agreement or an e-commerce enabling agreement.

The Company invests its cash and short-term investments in investments that are of high credit quality.  Given these high credit ratings, the Company does not expect any investees to fail to meet their obligations.

In 2012, one customer accounted for 31 percent (2011 – two customers accounted for 50 percent and 31 percent, respectively, 2010 – one customer accounted for 75 percent) of total revenues.  At December 31, 2012, no customers accounted for more than 10 percent (2011 – three customers accounted for 42 percent, 18 percent and 12 percent, respectively) of total accounts receivable.

The allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as at December 31, 2012 was $nil (2011 - $nil), as the majority of amounts past due at December 31, 2012 were subsequently collected.

Fair Value

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value on the statement of financial position, consists of cash, short-term investments and contingent consideration.  Cash and short-term investments are valued using quoted market prices (Level 1).  There were no financial instruments categorized using observable market inputs (Level 2).  Contingent consideration is valued using valuation techniques using non-observable market inputs (Level 3) as at December 31, 2012.

The fair value of monetary assets and liabilities approximates amounts at which they would be exchanged between knowledgeable and unrelated persons.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.  The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, as disclosed in Note 2.  The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current fiscal year.  The contingent consideration is due over a period of two years.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

Joint Venture with GE Commercial Finance

Throughout 2012, Northcore executed a number of initiatives through its joint venture entity, GE Asset Manager, LLC.  The goal was to acquire new clients while strengthening and expanding pre-existing relationships.

Significant effort was spent on the evolution of the product platform with a new release of Asset Seller successfully deployed and an Asset Management Mobile 'App' becoming part of the core offering.  During the same period, existing installations made inroads in terms of user base and corporate importance, while critical new customers were activated.

The partners remain committed to the product set and look forward to new opportunities in the coming year.

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report may include comments that do not refer strictly to historical results or actions and may be deemed to be forward-looking within the meaning of the Safe Harbor provisions of the United States federal securities laws.  These risks include, among others, statements about expectations of future revenues, cash flows, and cash requirements.  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our results to differ materially from expectations.

These risks include:

●   The timing of our future capital needs and our ability to raise additional capital when needed;

●   Increasingly longer sales cycles;

●   Potential fluctuations in our financial results and our difficulties in forecasting;

●   Volatility of the stock markets and fluctuations in the market price of our stock;

●   The ability to buy and sell our shares on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board;

●   Our ability to compete with other companies in our industry;

●   Our dependence upon a limited number of customers;

●   Our ability to retain and attract key personnel;

●   Risk of significant delays in product development;

●   Failure to timely develop or license new technologies;

●   Risks relating to any requirement to correct or delay the release of products due to software bugs or errors;

●   Risk of system failure or interruption;

●   Risks associated with any further dramatic expansions and retractions in the future;

●   Risks associated with international operations;

●   Problems which may arise in connection with the acquisition or integration of new businesses, products, services, technologies or other strategic relationships;

●   Risks associated with protecting our intellectual property, and potentially infringing the intellectual property rights of others;

●   Fluctuations in currency exchanges;

●   Risks to holders of our common shares following any issuance of our preferred shares; and

●   The ability to enforce legal claims against us or our officers or directors.

Northcore Technologies Inc. 3

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

Other such risks as we may identify and discuss from time to time, including those risks disclosed in the Company’s Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Management Information Circular, may also cause our results to differ materially from expectations.

We encourage you to carefully review these risks, as outlined above, to evaluate your existing or potential investment in our securities.

GENERAL INDUSTRY, ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS

Northcore’s future revenues and operating results are largely dependent on a number of industry, economic and market conditions.   If any of these conditions were subject to adverse developments, our operational performance would be affected.  For example, if consolidation occurs within the target industries we operate in, adverse economic conditions impact our existing base of customers, or if the demand for asset management solutions decreases, our ability to increase our customer base, improve our revenues and generate a profit may be impacted.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Northcore operates in a very competitive marketplace against organizations that, in some cases, are larger, have more resources, or broader technology offerings.  These competitive organizations include Oracle, SAP, and Ariba, among others.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to gain market share from these competitors while ensuring that our existing customer base is free of any competitive encroachment.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

In 2012, one customer accounted for 31 percent (2011 - two customers accounted for 50 percent and 31 percent, respectively, 2010 – one customer accounted for 75 percent) of total revenues.  If our relationships with any of these customers is severed or meaningfully altered, we would experience a significant decline in our performance, particularly through reduced revenues.

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

Since the sale of our Norway business unit in 2006, Northcore has concentrated its sales and marketing efforts primarily in North America.  Due to the increase in International opportunities, Northcore has engaged sales and marketing support in the Ireland and U.K. area to focus on this strata of potential clientele.  Recently, Northcore successfully deployed an e-tendering technology for the Irish Government Health Services Executive’s initial online sourcing pilot.

Operating as an organization with an international presence and an international base of customers exposes Northcore to a number of risks and uncertainties that may impact our operational performance.  These risks and uncertainties include:

●   Fluctuations in currency exchanges;

●   Unexpected changes to foreign laws and regulations, and foreign tax laws;

●   Local residency requirements for our sales and professional service personnel; and

●   Fluctuations to local demand for asset management technology and services.

Northcore Technologies Inc. 4

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Company’s revenue from software licensing and related services and e-commerce enabling agreements is transacted in Canadian and U.S. dollar currencies.  As a portion of our revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and our expenses are transacted in Canadian dollars, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar may have a favorable impact on our results.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company has limited exposure to fluctuations in interest rates due to the Company’s debt instruments bearing fixed interest rates, with the exception of the operating line of credit bearing floating interest rates, which the Company does not consider to be significant.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk arises from the potential that a customer will fail to meet its contractual obligations under a software licensing and related services agreement or an e-commerce enabling agreement.

The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in investments that are of high credit quality.  Given these high credit ratings, the Company does not expect any investees to fail to meet their obligations.

At December 31, 2012, no customers accounted for more than 10 percent (2011 - three customers accounted for 42 percent, 18 percent and 12 percent, respectively) of total accounts receivable.    The allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as at December 31, 2012 was $nil (2011 - $nil).

GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred negative annual cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to expend substantial funds to continue to develop technology, build an infrastructure to support business development efforts and expand other areas of business including the acquisition of, or strategic investments in, complementary products, businesses or technologies.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan including a substantial increase in revenue as well as maintaining operating expenses at or near the same level as 2012.  The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business plan or assure that efforts to raise additional financings will be successful.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  If the going concern assumption was not appropriate, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and the reported losses and the balance sheet classification used.

The continued existence beyond 2012 is dependent on the Company’s ability to increase revenue from existing products and services, and to expand the scope of its product offering which entails a combination of internally developed software and business ventures with third parties, and to raise additional financing.

Northcore Technologies Inc. 5

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting years.  These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future.  These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior periods and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the assumptions utilized in these consolidated financial statements.  Significant estimates made by the Company include the determination of identifiable assets in the business combination, the recoverable amount of intangible assets and goodwill, contingent consideration, valuation of stock-based payments and the expected requirements for non-operational funding.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company determines the fair value stock-base compensation using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model, which requires management to make assumptions regarding the volatility rate, risk free interest rate, average share price, expect term and dividend yield.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We periodically review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies to ensure that they provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment.  As part of this process, we have reviewed our selection, application and communication of critical accounting policies and financial disclosures. We have determined that the critical accounting policies related to our core ongoing business activities are primarily those that relate to revenue recognition.  Other significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenues are derived from services (application and web development activities, software implementation and license fees, training and consulting, product maintenance and customer support), and application hosting fees.  Fees for services are billed separately from licenses of the Company’s products.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognized when the following criteria are met:

●   The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

●   The stage of completion can be measured reliably;

●   The receipt of economic benefits is probable; and

●   The costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following criteria are met:

●   The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

●   The risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

●   The receipt of economic benefits is probable; and

●   The costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably.

Northcore Technologies Inc. 6

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

In addition to the above general principles, the Company applies the following specific revenue recognition policies:

●   Application and Web Development Fees

Typically, development of applications for the Company’s customers are provided based on a predetermined fixed hourly rate basis.  Revenue is recognized as time is incurred throughout the development process.

●   Implementation, Training and Consulting Service Fees

The Company receives revenue from implementation of its product offerings, consulting services and training services.  Customers are charged a fee based on time and expenses.  Revenue from implementation, consulting service and training fees is recognized as the services are performed or deferred until contractually defined milestones are achieved or until customer acceptance has occurred, as the case may be, for such contracts.

●   Product Maintenance and Customer Support Fees

The Company receives revenue from maintaining its products and the provision of on-going support services to customers.  The maintenance and support fees are typically equal to a specified percentage of the customers’ license fee.  If associated with the fixed fee license model, the maintenance revenues received are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

Services revenue from maintenance and support is recognized when the services are performed.  Maintenance and support revenues paid in advance are non-refundable and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which typically is 12 months.

●   Hosting Fees

The Company earns revenue from the hosting of customer websites and applications.  Under existing hosting contracts, the Company charges customers a recurring periodic flat fee.  The fees are recognized as the hosting services are provided.

●   Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

The Company also enters into transactions that represent multiple elements arrangements, which may include one or more of the following: software, application development, maintenance, hosting, and/or other professional service offerings.  These multiple element arrangements are assessed to determine whether they can be sold separately  in order to determine if they can be treated as more than one unit of accounting or element for the purpose of revenue recognition.  The Company allocates the arrangement fee, in a multiple element transaction, to the separate elements based on their relative selling prices, as indicated by vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price, and if both are not available, estimated selling prices are used.  The allocated portion of the arrangement which is undelivered is then deferred.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the Company. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new standards on the Company’s accounting policies and financial statement presentation.

●   IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures was amended by the IASB in December 2011 to provide additional information about offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities.  Additional disclosures will be required to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position.  The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

●   IFRS 9, Financial Instruments was issued by the IASB in October 2010 and will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.  IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the multiple rules in IAS 39.  The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments in the context of its business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9.  The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39.  IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.

●   IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement was issued by the IASB in May 2011.  IFRS 13 establishes new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for IFRSs and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The guidance, set out in IFRS 13 and an update to Topic 820 in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (formerly referred to as SFAS 157), completes a major project of the boards’ joint work to improve IFRSs and US GAAP and to bring about their convergence.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

●   IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements was amended by the IASB in June 2011 in order to align the presentation of items in other comprehensive income with U.S. GAAP standards. Items in other comprehensive income will be required to be presented in two categories: items that will be reclassified into profit or loss and those that will not be reclassified.  The flexibility to present a statement of comprehensive income as one statement or two separate statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income remains unchanged.  The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

(1)   Operational EBITDA is defined as the loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring expenses.  The Company considers Operational EBITDA to be a meaningful performance measure as it provides an approximation of operating cash flows.  Operational EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute or alternative for operating loss or loss for the year, in each case determined in accordance with IFRS.

(2)   Included in non-recurring professional fees for 2012 were acquisition related costs in connection with the acquisition of Envision and Kuklamoo.  2011 non-recurring professional fees related to consulting fees paid in connection with the recruitment of new senior management and Board members, as well as engaging an Intellectual Property firm to help examine the applicability of the Company’s core technology.

Overview:  The Operational EBITDA loss was $1,527,000 for 2012 as compared to $1,567,000 for 2011, a slight improvement in the Operational EBITDA loss of $40,000 or three percent.   The improvement in the Operational EBITDA loss was primarily due an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in customer service and technology expenses as a result of the acquisition of Envision during 2012.

Our loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $2,092,000, an improvement of $1,905,000 or 48 percent from the loss of $3,934,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2011.   The significant improvement in loss was attributable to the increase in revenues and a decrease in operating and interest expenses during the year.  The decrease in operating expenses was largely due to reduced stock-based compensation, which decreased by $1,448,000 as compared to the prior year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

General and administrative expenses increased by $230,000 or 16 percent, to $1,670,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1,440,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was attributed to higher non-cash, non-recurring professional fees in connection with the recruitment of new senior management and Board members, as well as engaging an intellectual property firm to help examine the applicability of the Company’s core technology and intellectual property portfolio in selected business domains.  The increase was partially offset by savings in the areas of investor relations and financing fees.

Customer Service and Technology:  Customer service and technology expenses consist of costs associated with acquired and internally developed software, and research and development expenses, including fees to independent contractors and salaries and related expenses of personnel engaged in these activities.

Customer service and technology expenses the year ended December 31, 2011 amounted to $726,000, relatively consistent with $734,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Sales and Marketing:  Sales and marketing costs include all salaries and related expenses of sales and marketing personnel as well as business development expenses such as advertising, sales support materials, and trade show costs.

Sales and marketing costs increased by $72,000 or 38 percent, to $260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $188,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was due to the Company engaging a sales executive in Europe during the fourth quarter of 2010 to explore new business opportunities in this region.

Stock-based Compensation:  For the year ended December 31, 2011, employee stock option expense amounted to $1,873,000, as compared to $517,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase $1,356,000.  The increase was attributed to the vesting of stock options, which were higher in 2011 due to the higher number of stock options granted to new senior management and Board members during the second quarter of 2011.

Depreciation:  Depreciation expense was $32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $22,000 for 2010, an increase of $10,000 or 45 percent.  The increase in depreciation was due to capital asset acquisitions totaling $92,000 during the current year.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense reflects interest incurred from debt instruments and loans.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $227,000 compared to $269,000 for December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $42,000 or 16 percent.  During 2011, cash interest expense of $103,000 and non-cash interest expense of $124,000 was incurred related to the secured subordinated notes and notes payable.  Comparatively, cash interest expense of $154,000 and non-cash interest expense of $115,000 was recorded in 2009.  The reduction in interest expense was due to the full conversions of Series L and N subordinated notes, as well as full repayment of notes payable during the current year.

Other Expenses:  Other expenses in 2010 were comprised of a provision for impaired investment in Southcore, partially offset by a gain on debt settlement with the Series G debt holders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

March 28, 2013

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has been funded to date primarily through a series of private placements of equity and convertible debentures, option and warrant exercises, sales of equity to strategic partners and gains from investments.  Since inception, the Company has received aggregate net proceeds of $101.7 million from debt and equity financing and has realized net proceeds of $25.8 million from disposal of investments. The Company has not earned profits to date and, at December 31, 2012, has an accumulated deficit of $125 million.  The Company expects to incur losses into 2013 and there can be no assurance that it will ever achieve profitability.  Operating results have varied on a quarterly basis in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control.

The Company has incurred negative annual cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to expend substantial funds to continue to develop technology, build an infrastructure to support business development efforts and expand other areas of business including the acquisition of, or strategic investments in, complementary products, businesses or technologies.  The Company has historically relied on non-operational sources of financing to fund its operations.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan and to successfully repay or refinance obligations as they come due.  Management believes that it has the ability to raise additional financing.  The Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business plan or assure that efforts to raise additional financings would be successful.

Cash decreased by $1,739,000 to $21,000 as at December 31, 2012 from $1,760,000 as at December 31, 2011.  The decrease in cash was due to cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,445,000 and $351,000, respectively, partially offset by cash inflows from financing activities of $57,000.

Current assets of $284,000 were exceeded by current liabilities of $805,000 in the current fiscal year by $521,000.  Current assets of $1,987,000 exceeded current liabilities of $415,000 by $1,572,000 in the prior year.

a) Operating

Cash outflows from operating activities improved by $445,000 to $1,445,000 in the current fiscal year compared to cash outflows from operating activities of $1,890,000 in the prior year.   The improvement was due to lower operating losses combined with in increase in non-cash working capital as per below.

Non-cash working capital resulted in inflows of $216,000 in fiscal 2013 as compared to outflows of $19,000 in fiscal 2011, an improvement of $235,000 as summarized in the following table:

	2012			2011			Change
	(in thousands of Canadian dollars)
Accounts receivable	$	95		$	(36	)	$	131
Deposits and prepaid expenses		4			(4	)		8
Accounts payable		108			(161	)		269
Accrued liabilities		(9	)		182			(191	)
Deferred revenue		18			-			18
	$	216		$	(19	)	$	235

b) Investing

Investing activities resulted in cash outflows of $351,000 during fiscal 2012, compared to cash outflows of $209,000 in 2011.  Cash outflows during 2012 were the result of the acquisition of businesses of $97,000, investment in Dealco of $167,000, and acquisition of capital and intangible assets of $34,000 and $129,000, respectively, partially offset by cash by cash distribution from the investment in GEAM of $77,000.  Cash outflows from investing activities in 2011 were the result of the acquisition of new capital and intangible assets of $92,000 and $177,000, respectively, partially offset by cash distribution from the investment in GEAM of $60,000.

c) Financing

Financing activities generated net inflows of $57,000 in fiscal 2012, as compared to $3,808,000 in fiscal 2011.  Cash inflows during the year were generated from the exercise of options of $24,000 and proceeds from operating line of credit of $33,000.  Cash inflows during 2011 were generated from the issuance of equity units for $1,018,000, and the exercise of warrants and options generated proceeds of $3,377,000 and $197,000, respectively, partially offset by the repayment of notes payable of $530,000, share issuance costs of $125,000 and interest payment of $129,000.

d) Contractual Obligations

As at December 31, 2012, the Company's contractual obligations, including payments due by periods over the next five years, are as follows:

	Total		2013		2014		2015		2016		2017

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·   Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

·   Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

·   Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general, administrative and financial matters.  However, management has decided that considering the employees involved and the compensating control procedures in place, including substantive periodic review of financial statements by the Audit Committee to ensure that internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are effective, the risks associated with segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to more clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increase.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There has been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
