(the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, filed on June 29, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), except for the certifications, which speak as of the filing date of the Form 20-F/A. This Form 20-F/A is being filed solely to include the audit report of our predecessor auditor Deloitte and Touche LLP for the year ended December 31, 2004, which was originally filed by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 with the SEC on June 30, 2005.

This Amendment is not intended to revise other information presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 as originally filed, which remains unchanged. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 20-F and does not modify or update the disclosure therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment discussed above.

Item 18. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUDITOR’S REPORT REGARDING THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
 
Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants
To the Shareholders of ADB Systems International Ltd.
 
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of ADB Systems International Ltd. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated statements of operations, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
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 plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2004 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion.

Comments by Independent Registered Chartered Accountants on Canada - United States Reporting Difference
 
The standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 2 to the financial statements.  Although we conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), our report to the Shareholders dated March 6, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
