LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS



Dear Shareholders,

Our third quarter results were primarily driven by a number of key operational activities, including a management change announced in June and our shareholder rights offering completed in August.  With these activities now behind us, our attention in the quarters to come will be on accelerating our revenue growth.

Third Quarter Financial Results

In the third quarter of 2007, we reported consolidated revenues of $250,000.  This represented a decrease of 12 percent from the $285,000 that Northcore generated in the second quarter of 2007, and an improvement of 13 percent over the $222,000 that we produced in Q3 of 2006.  As a reminder, we derive our revenues through fees from application hosting activities provided to customers, the sale of software licenses, and the delivery of application development, software customization, royalty fees and other technology services.

Our Q3 revenue performance was significantly impacted by the burgeoning strength of the Canadian dollar as currently all of our application development projects and most of our application hosting agreements are with US-based customers. Our revenue performance was also affected by the summer holiday period in Europe, which limited the amount of royalties from ADB Systemer AS.

In the period, we also reported a net loss for the third quarter of $636,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted.  This compares to a net loss of $590,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted in the second quarter.  In the third quarter of 2006, we reported a net loss of $640,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted.

We also reported an EBITDA loss in the third quarter of 2007 of $416,000.  This compares to an EBITDA loss of $419,000 in the second quarter of 2007 and an EBITDA loss of $404,000 in the third 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 September 30, Northcore held cash and cash equivalents of $844,000 and accounts receivables of approximately $227,000.

Operating highlights

We completed the following customer and operating activities in the period:

 
The Company announced a management change, naming Duncan Copeland as Chief Executive Officer and James Moskos as Chief Operating Officer.  The management change took effect July 12, 2007.
 
We generated gross proceeds of $1,650,000 through a rights offering to eligible shareholders.
 
The Company extended the terms of a number of agreements with customers, including the State of Tennessee and the School Board of Broward County (Florida).  The customers use Northcore’s technology and services to manage their asset maintenance activities.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS



 
We introduced enhancements to Asset Tracker, the web-based equipment tracking application of its joint venture with GE.  The enhancements make it easier to report on the status, location and condition of key equipment.

Outlook

Clearly, we’re not yet where we want to be, but our products have never been better and our relationship with our partners at GE has never been stronger.  As a result, our focus in the quarters to come will be on growing our products revenues, both through our standalone offerings and through our joint venture with GE.


Yours truly,



Duncan Copeland, CEO
November 2007

For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2007.

The Company charges all qualifying transaction costs related to debt issuance to earnings as incurred.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
For the Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
(In Canadian dollars)


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 September 30, 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 historical levels.  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 Q3 of 2007 is dependent on its 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.

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 received a royalty of 10% of net annual sales from the contracts for a period of four years from the sale closing date.  These royalties are recognized in earnings as they become due.  The Company recorded a total of $(1,000) and $99,000 in royalties for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.  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 to change 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 through a Value Added Reseller Agreement entered into with ADB Systemer.

As required by Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series K secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series K notes by calculating the present value of the associated cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s underlying rate of borrowing.  The Company determined the fair value of the conversion feature at the issue date of the Series K notes using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.  The resulting pro rata fair values of the liability component of the notes and the conversion features of the shares were $744,000 and $616,000, respectively.  The liability component will be accreted to $1,360,000 over the term of the Series K notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

In addition, on June 15, 2007, the Company completed a private placement issuance of 2,992,000 common shares, at $0.15 per share common share, to holders of $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes, in payment of the related accrued interest on $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes of $449,000 (See Note 7 (c)).

The Company is currently negotiating with the remaining Series G debt holders to undertake a similar transaction.  As a result, the Company continues to record the remaining $240,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes and related accrued interest of approximately $90,000 as a demand loan (See Note 5).

The Series H secured subordinated notes with a face amount of $170,000 matured on October 21, 2007.  As a result, the amount has been classified as current.  The Company is currently negotiating with the debt holders as to repayment alternatives.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the remaining $1,600,000 (face value) balance of the Series G notes (book value $1,600,000) was refinanced as per above.  Accordingly, 5,161,000 equity units represented by 5,161,000 common shares valued at $419,000 and 2,580,000 warrants valued at $165,000 were canceled (See table below).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

The following commentary compares the unaudited consolidated financial results for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and analyzes significant changes in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview:  The loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2007 was $636,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $640,000, or $0.01 per share for the same quarter of 2006.  The slight improvement in loss from continuing operations for the quarter was mainly due to an increase in revenue of $28,000 and a decrease in interest expense of $27,000, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of $51,000 when compared to the same quarter of 2006.

Revenue:  Revenue is comprised of software license sales, service fees for software implementation, application hosting, support, training and royalty fees.  Overall revenue increased by $28,000 to $250,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from $222,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  The North American region generated revenue increase of $102,000 or 68 percent while the Ireland/U.K. region experienced a reduction of $74,000 or 101 percent.  The revenue growth in the North American region was attributable to increase in implementation and hosting revenue to existing customers, whereas the decline in Ireland/U.K. revenue resulted primarily from reduced implementation and royalty revenue.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: November 13, 2007



General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses decreased by $15,000 from $410,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $395,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a slight decrease of four percent.  Savings over the same period of last year include reduction in staffing levels in North America, lower insurance premiums, investor relations and travel expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional fees during the same period.

Customer Service and Technology Expenses:  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 September 30, 2007 these costs amounted to $205,000 compared with $151,000 for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $54,000 or 36 percent.  The increase in costs is due primarily to the increase in staffing levels in North America as a result of higher sales volume with our existing customers.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: 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 September 30, 2007 sales and marketing costs amounted to $66,000, consistent with $65,000 in the same period of 2006.

Employee Stock Options:  For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, employee stock option expense amounted to $66,000, as compared to $42,000 in the same period of 2006, an increase of $24,000.  This increase was due to the expenses associated with the July 11, 2007 grant of 1,350,000 stock options.  Employee stock option expense for the third quarter of 2007 represents the fair value of the stock options vesting from the July 11, 2007 and August 4, 2006 grants of 1,350,000 and 500,000 stock options respectively. The 2006 employee stock option expense represents the fair value of the stock options vesting from the August 4, 2006, June 21, 2006, and December 22, 2005 grants of 500,000, 50,000 and 1,000,000 stock options respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $23,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.    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 $144,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $177,000 for the same quarter of 2006.  The decrease in interest expense was due to the maturity of the Series E and G notes, partially offset by the issuance of the Series K notes.  The interest expense for 2007 included a cash interest expense of $72,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $72,000 related to the Series H, I, J and K notes.  The interest expense for 2006 included a cash interest expense of $78,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $99,000 related to the Series E, G, H, I, and J notes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Operating activities resulted in cash outflows of $504,000 for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to cash outflows of $672,000 from operating activities in the third quarter of 2006.  Significant reduction in accounts payable contributed to higher cash outflows in the same period of last year.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities:  Investing activities produced cash outflows of $1,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to cash outflows of $59,000 for the same period of 2006.  The Company upgraded its information technology infrastructure during the third quarter of 2006 resulting in large cash outflows from investing activities as compared to minimal upgrades in the current period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: November 13, 2007


Cash Flows from Financing Activities:  Financing activities generated cash inflows of $1,305,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to cash outflows of $438,000 for the same period of 2006.  During the third quarter of 2007, the Company generated net cash inflows of $1,245,000 from the issuance of common shares through a rights offering to existing shareholders of the Company, as well as the repayment of demand loans of $340,000 to private investors as part of the rights offering.   In total 20,628,302 common shares were issued in connection with the rights offering.  In the third quarter of 2006, financing activities created a cash outflow of $438,000 resulting from the repayment of Series E notes with a face value of $375,000 and the repayment of $63,000 in advances from related parties.
 
Comparison of the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006

The following commentary compares the unaudited consolidated financial results for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and analyzes significant changes in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview:  The year-to-date loss from continuing operations was $1,776,000, a loss of $0.02 per share for 2007, compared to a loss of $2,199,000, or $0.03 per share for the same period of 2006.  The improvement in loss from continuing operations of $423,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was mainly due to revenue growth of $94,000 to $857,000 from $763,000 in 2006, a decrease in operating expenses of $161,000 to $2,168,000 from $2,329,000 in 2006 and a reduction in interest expense of $168,000 to $465,000 from $633,000 in the same period of 2006.

Revenue: Revenue is comprised of software license sales, service fees for software implementation, application hosting, support, training and royalty fees.  Overall revenue increased by $94,000 or 12 percent, to $857,000 for the first nine months of 2007, from $763,000 for the same period of 2006.  The increase was attributable to the increase in North American revenue of $342,000 or 82 percent, partially offset by a decrease in Ireland/U.K. revenue of $248,000 or 71 percent.  The revenue growth in the North American region was attributable to the increase in implementation and hosting revenue to existing customers.  The decline in Ireland/U.K. revenue resulted primarily from reduced implementation and hosting revenue due to transferring outstanding customer contracts to ADB Systemer upon the sale of the Norwegian business unit in June 2006 and only retaining a 10 percent royalty fees on these contracts.

General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses decreased by $60,000 to $1,290,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2007 from $1,350,000 for the same period in 2006, a modest decline of four percent.  Savings over the same period last year include reduction in staffing levels in North America, a decrease in investor relations, insurance premiums and travel expenses.  The savings were partially offset by an increase in professional fees.

Customer Service and Technology Expenses:  Customer service and technology expenses increased by $79,000 to $555,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $476,000 for the same period of 2006, an increase of 17 percent.  The increase in costs is due to the increase in staffing levels in North America as a result of higher sales volume with existing customers.

Sales and Marketing Expenses:  Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $106,000 to $215,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $321,000 for the same period of 2006, a decrease of 33 percent.  Savings over the same period last year include reduction in staffing levels in North America and in Ireland/U.K., partially offset by an increase in marketing expense in North America as a result of engaging a sales agency to promote the Company’s product offerings.

Employee Stock Options:  The 2007 employee stock option expense represents the fair value of the stock options vesting from the July 11, 2007, August 4, 2006 and June 21, 2006 grants of 1,350,000, 500,000, and 50,000 stock options respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, employee stock option expense amounted to $79,000, compared to $114,000 in the same period of 2006, a decrease of $35,000 or 31 percent.  This decrease was due to fewer options granted in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense was $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $68,000 for the same period of 2006.  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 $466,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $645,000 for the same period of 2006.  The decrease in interest expense was due to the maturity of the Series E and G notes, partially offset by the issuance of the Series K notes.  The interest expense for 2007 included a cash interest expense of $203,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $263,000 related to the Series G, H, I, J and K secured subordinated notes.  The interest expense for 2006 included a cash interest expense of $278,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $367,000 related to the Series E, G, H, I and J secured subordinated notes.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities:  Investing activities produced cash outflows of $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to outflows of $63,000 for the same period of 2006.  Cash flows from investing activities were the result of acquisition of new capital assets during both periods.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Financing activities generated cash inflows of $1,585,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to cash inflows of $185,000 for the same period of 2006.  Financing activities during 2007 was a result of the issuance of a rights offering to existing shareholders that generated net proceeds of $1,245,000, as well as the repayment of demand loans of $340,000 to private investors as part of the rights offering.  In total 20,628,302 common shares were issued in connection with the rights offering.  The 2006 cash inflows were the result of proceeds in the amount of $750,000 from the issuance of the Series J notes, partially offset by repayments in Series E notes with a face value of $375,000, Series G notes with a face value of $60,000, and advances from related parties in the amount of $130,000.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid $nil (September 30, 2006 - $1,000) in interest relating to the secured subordinated notes to related parties.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid $35,000 (September 30, 2006 - $3,000) in interest relating to the secured subordinated notes to related parties.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company repaid advances from directors and/or officers totaling $45,000 through the issuance of Series J notes.

The Company compensated the Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $15,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

During the quarter ended, September 30, 2007, the Company compensated the Chairman in the amount of $15,000 (September 30, 2006 - $15,000) remuneration for acting as the Chair of the Board.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid $45,000 (September 30, 2006 - $40,000) in Chairman’s remuneration.

The following officers and directors purchased Series K notes: Jeff Lymburner, CEO of the Company at the time, purchased $50,000 of Series K notes that have not yet been converted; Jim Moskos, Chief Operating Officer of the Company, purchased $10,000 of Series K notes that have not yet been converted.


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 $91.7 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 September 30, 2007, has an accumulated deficit of $110.7 million.  The Company expects to incur losses for the remainder of 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: November 13, 2007

 
On July 23, 2007, the Company offered eligible shareholders as of the record date of July 30, 2007, approximately 86,896,000 rights to subscribe for up to approximately 21,724,000 additional common shares in the Company.  Each eligible holder received one right for every common share held in the Company.  Four rights entitled the holder to purchase one common share in the Company, priced at $0.08 each.  Shareholders who exercised all of their rights were also entitled to acquire supplemental shares under the provisions of the additional subscription privilege.  Each shareholder with an address of record in the provinces or territories of Canada was eligible for the rights offering.  The rights offering closed on August 22, 2007.

As a result of the rights offering, the Company raised net proceeds of $1,245,000 and settled demand loans of $340,000 through the issuance of 20,628,302 common shares (book value of $2,012,000), each priced at $0.08 per share.  The total represents 95 percent of shares made available through the rights offering.

The Series G secured subordinated notes with a face amount of $1,600,000 matured on June 15, 2007.  In connection with the refinancing of the Series G notes, the Company completed a private placement issuance of the new Series K secured subordinated notes with a face amount of $1,360,000, to existing holders of $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes (See note 6 (a)).

In addition, on June 15, 2007, the Company completed a private placement issuance of 2,992,000 common shares, at $0.15 per share common share, to holders of $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes, in payment of the related accrued interest on $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes of $449,000 (See Note 7 (c)).

The Company is currently negotiating with the remaining Series G debt holders to undertake a similar transaction.  As a result, the Company continues to record the remaining $240,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes and related accrued interest of approximately $90,000 as a demand loan (See Note 5).

The Series H secured subordinated notes with a face amount of $170,000 matured on October 21, 2007.  As a result, the amount has been classified as current.  The Company is currently negotiating with the debt holders as to repayment alternatives.  The alternatives may include a cash repayment, equity refinancing or a combination thereof.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company received operating loans from a private investor in the amount of $280,000.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company received an additional $60,000 of operating loans from this investor (See Note 5).  The loans bore interest at 8 percent, were due on demand and were secured by a general security agreement on the assets of the Company.  The loans were settled during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 through the issuance of common shares as part of the rights offering (See Note 7 (d)).

Current assets of $1,134,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $1,297,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2007 by $163,000.  Current assets of $340,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $1,507,000 by $1,167,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2007.  Deferred revenue has been excluded from current liabilities as it is expected to be settled by resources other than cash.

Cash increased by $800,000 to $844,000 as at September 30, 2007 from $44,000 as at June 30, 2007.  This increase 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 historical levels.  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: November 13, 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: November 13, 2007

 
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.


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 September 30, 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Dated: November 13, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.
