LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS





Dear Shareholders,

Building on the momentum of our fourth quarter results, Northcore has had a very active Q1. In particular, we signed a services agreement with a Fortune 500 strategic partner and delivered asset disposition services to a leading distributor of building products through our joint venture with GE. These and other ongoing efforts bode very well for our performance for the balance of 2007.

Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2007, we met our expectations for modest growth and generated revenues of $322,000. The total represents an increase of four percent over fourth quarter of 2006 results.

As a number of our recently signed customer service agreements are at their initial stage, we believe the revenue potential of these deals will be reflected in our Q2 results and beyond.

Consistent with strategies outlined at our Annual General Meeting of shareholders, we have increasingly focused our efforts on providing application development and technology customization services to our customers. These activities, which complement our application hosting and joint venture efforts, help to differentiate Northcore in a competitive marketplace and allow us to improve our relations with key customers.

Our net loss for the first quarter was $550,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted. This compares to a net loss of $571,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006. In the first quarter of 2006, Northcore reported a net loss of $480,000, a total that included income from discontinued operations of $205,000.

It is important to note that comparisons of our first quarter results to periods when we operated as ADB Systems International Ltd. may not be meaningful given the changes to the Company’s operational focus, overhead and customer activities.

As we reported previously, we sold our Norway business unit for $2.69 million in cash and debt settlement effective June 30, 2006. As a result of the sale of the Norway business unit, we have adjusted our historical financial results to comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to discontinued operations.

One of the reasons we sold our Norway business unit was based on an expectation of significant cost reduction. Based on the cost containment results since the sale, we are delivering on our targets.

The Company also reported an EBITDA loss in Q1 of $368,000. This compares to an EBITDA loss of $374,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006 and an EBITDA loss of $373,000 in the first quarter of 2006.

EBITDA loss is defined as losses before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee stock options and discontinued operations. We consider EBITDA to be a meaningful performance measure as it provides an approximation of operating cash flows.

As at March 31, we held cash and cash equivalents of $93,000 and accounts receivable of approximately $280,000.

Operating highlights

In addition to our financial performance, we realized a number of operating achievements in the period, notably:

 
-
We signed a master professional services agreement with a Fortune 500 strategic partner. The agreement is designed to streamline the process in which Northcore delivers future technology and application development services to all of the customer’s businesses.
 
-
Our joint venture with GE began providing asset disposition services to a leading national distributor of building products.
 
-
Our joint venture with GE launched an online marketing and sales platform to remarket off-lease and pre-owned equipment for The Toro Company. The sales platform is accessible via www.toroused.com.
 
-
We signed a business development agreement with Sandstorm Technologies. Acting as a sales agent, Sandstorm represents Northcore’s suite of asset management offerings to leading North American companies in a variety of key industry verticals, including manufacturing, financial services and healthcare.

Outlook

Based on the timelines of our technology services projects and the pipeline of our sales opportunities, we are optimistic on our prospects for revenue growth, an expanded customer base and improved performance for the balance of 2007.

Yours truly,



Jeff Lymburner, CEO
May 2007

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
(in Canadian dollars) 


1.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Northcore Technologies Inc. (“Northcore” or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) for the purposes of interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes as required by Canadian GAAP in the preparation of annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP for the three years ended December 31, 2006, except as described below.

Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Section 3251, Equity; Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement; and, Section 3865, Hedges. These new handbook Sections, which apply to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006, provide requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments and on the use of hedge accounting. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
Under Section 3855, financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet 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: held-for-trading financial assets 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.

Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its marketable securities as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and secured subordinated notes are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company had neither available for sale, nor held to maturity instruments during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

There are no significant embedded derivatives or non-financial derivatives that require separate fair value recognition on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet on transition and as at March 31, 2007.

For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
(in Canadian dollars) 


 
The Company charges all qualifying transaction costs related to debt issuance to earnings as incurred. The Company had previously deferred these costs and amortized them over the term of the related debts. The carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $42,000 was charged to opening deficit on transition on January 1, 2007.

The adoption of these handbook sections resulted in an adjustment to reduce deficit in the amount of $70,000, comprised of a decrease in deferred charges of $42,000 and a decrease in secured subordinated notes of $112,000 at January 1, 2007, being the difference in the carrying amount of secured subordinated notes at December 31, 2006 and the carrying amount calculated using the effective interest rate method from inception.

The Company had no “other comprehensive income or loss” transactions during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and no opening or closing balances for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed, except that prior periods are restated to reflect the application of foreign currency translation of self-sustaining foreign operations. Other comprehensive income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 comprises foreign currency gains on translation of the Company’s former subsidiary in Norway, which was sold in the second quarter of 2006.

2.    CONTINUATION OF THE BUSINESS

While the accompanying unaudited interim 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. 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 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 2006. Management believes that it has the ability to raise additional financing if required. 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.
 
These unaudited interim 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 were not appropriate for these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported net losses and the balance sheet classifications used.
 
Management believes that continued existence beyond Q1 of 2007 is dependent on its ability to increase revenue from existing products, 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.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 18, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with ADB Systemer Holding AS (the “Buyer”), to sell 100 percent of the Company's interest in its Norwegian subsidiary ADB Systemer AS, (“ADB Systemer”) for NOK 15,000,000 or approximately Canadian $2,687,000 in cash, subject to shareholder approval. As compensation for the transfer of UK contracts to the Buyer, the Company will receive a royalty of 10% of net annual sales from the contracts for a period of four years from the sale closing date. These royalties will be recognized in earnings as they become due. The Company recorded a total of $76,000 in royalties for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Certain shareholders of the Buyer were employees or executive officers of ADB Systemer and shareholders of the Company. On June 21, 2006 the Company received approval from shareholders at its annual general meeting to proceed with the sale of ADB Systemer and changed its name to Northcore Technologies Inc. effective June 30, 2006. The sale of the shares of ADB Systemer included the sale of the ADB Systems name. Upon the sale of ADB Systemer, the Company retains access to all existing technology that will be used to service existing customers and entered into a Value Added Reseller Agreement with ADB Systemer.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Quarters Ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006.

This section compares the unaudited consolidated financial results for the three month periods ending March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 and analyzes significant changes in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview: Net loss for the first quarter of 2007 was $550,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net loss of $480,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same quarter of 2006. Net loss from continuing operations was $550,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $685,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same quarter of 2006. Total operating expenses decreased by $99,000 or 12 percent this quarter, when compared to the same quarter last year. Loss from continuing operations improved by $49,000 or 11 percent this quarter, when compared to the same quarter last year.

Revenue: Revenue is comprised of software license sales and service fees for software implementation, consulting, application hosting, support and training. Overall revenue decreased by 13 percent or $50,000 to $322,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $372,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in revenue was attributed to the decline in Ireland and U.K.’s revenue as a result of transferring outstanding contracts to Norway upon the disposition of the Norway business unit in 2006. Revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 includes royalties of $76,000 related to our former Norwegian operations.
 
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses include, primarily: all salaries and related expenses (including benefits and payroll taxes) other than technology staff compensation (which

is included in customer service and technology expenses), and sales and marketing staff compensation (which is included in sales and marketing expenses), occupancy costs, foreign exchange gains or losses, professional fees, insurance, investor relations, regulatory filing fees, and travel and related costs.

General and administrative expenses amounted to $447,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, consistent with $443,000 for the same quarter last year.

Customer Service and Technology: Customer service and technology costs include all salaries and related expenses associated with the provision of implementation, consulting, application hosting, support and training services. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 these costs amounted to $172,000, consistent with $165,000 for the first quarter of 2006.

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing costs include all salaries and related expenses for our sales and marketing personnel as well as business development expenses such as advertising, sales support materials, and trade show costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 sales and marketing costs amounted to $71,000, compared with $137,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $66,000 or 48%. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in sales force in North America and in Ireland and the U.K.
 
Employee Stock Options: The 2007 employee stock option expense represents the fair value of the stock options vesting from the June 21 and August 4, 2006 grants of 50,000 and 500,000 stock options respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 employee stock option expense amounted to $7,000, as compared to $35,000 in the same period of 2006, a decrease of $28,000. The decrease was due to a decline in options granted in 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $9,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $25,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $16,000. The decrease was due to the adoption of the new accounting policies for financial instruments, whereby the Company wrote off the balance of deferred charges through the opening deficit as of January 1, 2007, see the discussion under “New Accounting Policies” below.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $167,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $252,000 for the same quarter of 2006. The interest expense for 2007 included a cash interest expense of $64,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $103,000 related to the Series G, H, I and J secured subordinated notes. The interest expense for 2006 included a cash interest expense of $107,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $145,000 related to the Series E, G, H, I and J secured subordinated notes.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Operating activities resulted in cash outflows of $372,000 for the first quarter of 2007, as compared to $467,000 for the first quarter of 2006. The improvement in operating cash flows was a result of a decrease in loss from continuing operations as compared to the same period of 2006.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Investing activities resulted in cash outflows of $10,000, as compared to $nil for the same quarter of 2006. Cash flows from investing activities were the result of acquisition of new capital assets during the first quarter of 2007.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities: There were no financing activities during the first quarter of 2007, as compared to cash inflows of $705,000 generated for the first quarter of 2006. Issuance of the Series J convertible notes in February of 2006 produced cash inflows of $750,000, net of $5,000 in financing costs. A portion of the financing in the amount of $45,000 was a result of the conversion of advances from related parties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid $15,000 (March 31, 2006 - $1,000) in interest relating to the secured subordinated notes to related parties.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has been funded to date primarily through a series of private placements of equity and convertible debentures, sales of equity to and investments from strategic partners, gains from investments and option exercises. Since inception, the Company has received aggregate net proceeds of $90.1 million from debt and equity financing and has realized $26.4 million in gains on investment disposals. The Company has not earned profits to date and, at March 31, 2007, has an accumulated deficit of $109.5 million. The Company expects to incur losses further into 2007 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, including a substantial increase in revenue as well as maintaining operating expenses at or near the same level as 2006. Management believes that it has the ability to raise additional financing if required. 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.

Current assets of $430,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $2.975 million at the end of the first quarter of 2007 by $2.545 million. Current assets of $692,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $2.756 million by $2.064 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006. Deferred revenue has been excluded from current liabilities as it is expected to be settled by resources other than cash.

Cash decreased by $382,000 to $93,000 as at March 31, 2007 from $475,000 as at December 31, 2006. This decrease in cash was the result of the activities described in the Results From Operations section above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
While the accompanying unaudited interim 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. The Company has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources of financing to fund operations. 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 2006. Management’s 2007 business plan includes a significant increase in revenue and operating cash flow primarily from major new contracts in North America. The revenue contained in management’s business plan is based on detailed estimates of revenue on a customer-by-customer basis. Management does not anticipate a material increase in 2007 expenses over those incurred in 2006, in order to attain the 2007 revenue goals. Additionally, management believes that it has the ability to raise additional financing if required. 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.


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 important accounting policies are described in Note 3 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: May 9, 2007 



REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenues are derived from software license fees, implementation, training and consulting services, product maintenance and customer support, and software development, and hosting fees. Fees for services are billed separately from licenses of the Company’s product. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which in the Company’s circumstances, are not materially different from the amounts that would be determined under provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statements of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition”, and as amended by Statement of Position 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions”. The Company also considers the provisions of CICA EIC 141, which is analogous to Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, and CICA EIC 142, which is analogous to the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Elements,” in determining the appropriate revenue recognition methodology.

Hosting Fees
The Company earns revenue from the hosting of customer websites. Under our existing hosting contracts, we charge customers a recurring periodic flat fee. The fees are recognized as the hosting services are provided.

Software Development Fees
Typically, development of software for our customers is provided based on a predetermined fixed rate basis. Revenue is recognized as time is incurred throughout the development process.

Software License Revenue
The Company recognizes software license revenue in accordance with the terms of the license agreement and when the following criteria as set out in SOP No. 97-2 are met:

 Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
 Delivery has occurred;
 Fee is fixed or determinable; and
 Collectibility is probable.

Software license revenue consists of fixed license fee agreements involving perpetual licenses.

Software license agreements may be part of multiple element arrangements that include consulting and implementation services. When these services are considered essential to the functionality of the license, the associated revenue is recognized on the basis of the percentage of completion method as specified by contract accounting principles. When these services are not considered essential to the functionality of the license, the entire arrangement fee is allocated to each element in the arrangement based on the respective vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of each element. The amount allocated to license revenue is based on the price charged by the Company when the same element is sold in similar quantities to a customer of a similar size and nature. If this amount is not determinable, the residual software license revenue is the amount of the total arrangement fee less the fair value of any undelivered elements. VSOE used in determining fair value for installation, implementation and training based on the standard daily rates for the type of service being provided multiplied by the estimated time to complete each task. VSOE used in determining the fair value of maintenance and support is based on the annual renewal rates. The revenue allocable to the software license is recognized when the revenue criteria are met. The revenue allocable to the consulting services is recognized as the services are performed.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: May 9, 2007 



Implementation, Training & 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 & 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.


NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income; Section 3251, Equity; Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement; and, Section 3865, Hedges. These new handbook Sections, which apply to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006, provide requirements for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments and on the use of hedge accounting. Section 1530 establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income refers to items recognized in comprehensive income that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
Under Section 3855, financial instruments must be classified into one of these five categories: held-for-trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. All financial instruments, including derivatives, are measured in the balance sheet 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: held-for-trading financial assets 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.

Upon adoption of these new standards, the Company designated its marketable securities as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and secured subordinated notes are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company had neither available for sale, nor held to maturity instruments during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: May 9, 2007 



There are no significant embedded derivatives or non-financial derivatives that require separate fair value recognition on the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet on transition and as at March 31, 2007.

The Company charges all qualifying transaction costs related to debt issuance to earnings as incurred. The Company had previously deferred these costs and amortized them over the term of the related debts. The carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $42,000 was charged to opening deficit on transition on January 1, 2007.

The adoption of these handbook sections resulted in an adjustment to reduce deficit in the amount of $70,000, comprised of a decrease in deferred charges of $42,000 and a decrease in secured subordinated notes of $112,000 at January 1, 2007, being the difference in the carrying amount of secured subordinated notes at December 31, 2006 and the carrying amount calculated using the effective interest rate method from inception.

The Company had no “other comprehensive income or loss” transactions during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and no opening or closing balances for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Under the new standards, policies followed for periods prior to the effective date generally are not reversed, except that prior periods are restated to reflect the application of foreign currency translation of self-sustaining foreign operations. Other comprehensive income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 comprises foreign currency gains on translation of the Company’s former subsidiary in Norway, which was sold in the second quarter of 2006.
