For Immediate Release

NORTHCORE REPORTS Q4 AND YEAR-END 2007 RESULTS
Revenue grows 24 percent quarter over quarter; 9 percent year over year

Toronto, ON - March 19, 2008 - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB:NTLNF), a provider of asset management technology solutions, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  All figures are in Canadian dollars.

Northcore reported revenues of $309,000 for the quarter, an increase of 24 percent over the $250,000 generated in the third quarter of 2007.  In the same period of 2006, Northcore generated revenue of $309,000.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, Northcore reported revenues of $1.17 million, a growth of nine percent over the $1.07 million generated in 2006.

Northcore derives its revenues from application hosting activities provided to customers, royalty fees from its business partners, the sale of software licenses, and the delivery of technology services, such as application development and software customization.

“Following the senior management reorganization and successful completion of our rights offering in Q3, we devoted considerable attention in the fourth quarter on customer-facing and revenue generating activities,” said Duncan Copeland, CEO of Northcore Technologies.
“These efforts produced a quarter over quarter revenue increase of 24 percent even as the Canadian dollar continued to strengthen.  This result, coupled with some recent trends, suggests that we are now back on track towards realizing our long-term objectives.”

Northcore reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $536,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted.  This compares to a net loss of $636,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted in the third quarter of 2007. In the same period of 2006, Northcore reported a net loss of $571,000 or $0.01 per share basic and diluted.

Northcore’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2.31 million. In 2006, Northcore reported a net loss of $648,000 or $0.01 per share, a total that included income from discontinued operations of $2.12 million resulting from the sale of the company’s Norway business unit.

Northcore also reported an EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter of $372,000. This compares to an EBITDA loss of $416,000 in the third quarter of 2007 and an EBITDA loss of $374,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Northcore reports Q4 and year-end results/2

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Northcore recorded an EBITDA loss of $1.58 million. This compares to a combined EBITDA loss of $1.76 million for the year ended 2006.

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

As at December 31, 2007, Northcore held cash and cash equivalents of $478,000 and accounts receivable of approximately $120,000.

Northcore also announced that it has received commitment to a funding arrangement and is currently finalizing terms.  The company will provide details upon closing of the arrangement.

Operating highlights
In addition to its financial results, Northcore experienced a number of operating achievements in the period, notably:
 
The company signed a service agreement with the Brick, one of Canada’s largest volume retailers of household furniture, mattresses, appliances and home electronics.  Northcore provides infrastructure support services for the Brick’s online presence, www.thebrick.com.
 
Northcore extended the terms of existing service agreements with the Newfoundland and Housing Corporation, the School Board of Broward County (Florida) and the State of Tennessee. The organization will use Northcore’s technology and services to manage their maintenance activities.
 
The company introduced new enhancements to Asset Tracker, the web-based equipment tracking application of its joint venture with GE.  The enhancements enable customers to simplify the search for assets and equipment.
 
GE Asset Manager, LLC, the company’s joint venture with GE, successfully provided online sales capabilities to Arthur Machinery, an international distributor of precision machining equipment.
 
The company refinanced the Series H subordinated notes with a principal balance of $170,000 and accrued interest of $60,000.  Northcore entered into an agreement to repay the principal and interest over a two-year term at 11 percent.

Northcore will hold a conference call at 10:00 (Eastern) on Thursday, March 20 to discus its financial results and review operational activities.  Investors and followers of the Northcore can listen to a live webcast of the call from the investor relations section of the company’s website, www.northcore.com.

Northcore Technologies Inc.       2007 Annual Report      3


MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Northcore underwent a number of significant developments in 2007.   These changes were designed to solidify our financial position, improve our relationships with key customers and partners, and accelerate out strategic goals.  And based on our results, we saw some progress on a number of fronts - but we expect more in the periods and years to come.

MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS

A key success for the company in 2007 was the completion of a rights offering to eligible shareholders.  The rights offering raised $1.65 million in new capital.  The funds have been earmarked to support the continued rollout of our joint venture with GE and ongoing operational activities.

Another important development for the company involved a management reorganization.  In July, I was named Chief Executive Officer by our Board of Directors, assuming responsibilities for the company’s strategic direction and acting as chief spokesperson on corporate and investor activities.   As part of the same reorganization, Jim Moskos was appointed Chief Operating Officer, becoming responsible for all aspects of the company’s ongoing activities, including the continued development of GE Asset Manager, LLC.  This management change was embraced by our key customers, partners and the investment community.

STRATEGIC FOCUS

Related to these major developments, we saw a broadening of our strategic focus.  While a significant amount of our effort continues to be allocated to supporting the business development and customer activities of GE’s Asset Manager, we have increasingly expanded our ability to deliver custom application development solutions for our clients.  These projects, which leverage our technology skills and asset management experience, provide us the opportunity to grow our roster of clients while improving our relationships with existing customers.  To that end, we completed a number of technology projects for our customers such as The Brick, and we signed a master professional services agreement with a leading, Fortune 500 company.  This noteworthy agreement is effective for two years and allows us to streamline the process for delivering technology and application services to all of our customer’s businesses.

OPERATIONAL PROGRESS

In spite of the significant effort we allocated to internal and fund-raising activities, we saw some progress to our financial results.  In fact, we grew our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 by 24 percent over our results in the third quarter of the year.   For the full year ended 2007, we grew our revenue by nine percent over our performance in 2006.  These improvements occurred even as the Canadian dollar surged considerably throughout year and the royalties from our relationship with ADB Systemer were considerably smaller than we anticipated.

Our increase in revenues was met with a reduction in expenses in 2007.  As a result, we improved our EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee stock options and discontinued operations) loss by almost $200,000 year over year.  This bottom-line improvement will accelerate once our sales and revenue targets, particularly from our joint venture activities, are realized.

OUTLOOK

Clearly, we have improvements to make in terms of our earnings performance, financial stability and share price, but I am still very excited about our future for a number of reasons.

Our relationship with GE continues to grow. In fact, Northcore is becoming more integral to their operational and customer activities, particularly as we develop and host a series of applications for them.

Equally important, new client opportunities for our joint venture are emerging that will allow us to add blue chip companies to our current stable of customers that includes Kraft Foods, the Toro Company and GE Infrastructure.

Finally, our relationships with other customers such as Paramount and The Brick are strong.  These customer experiences will help as we expand our sales efforts to new sectors.

Northcore Technologies Inc.       2007 Annual Report      4


Combined, these foundations provide us with tremendous potential for growth in 2008.

On behalf of our directors, senior management and all Northcore employees, I want to thank all of our shareholders for their ongoing support.

Yours truly,

Signature
Duncan Copeland,
CEO

DEVELOPMENTS IN 2007

Northcore completed a number of customer and operational activities throughout the course of 2007.  These activities were designed to accelerate revenue opportunities, solidify our financial position, and strengthen our abilities to work with our customers and partners.

Operations
Of note, Northcore:

 
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.
 
Generated gross proceeds of $1.65 million through a rights offering to eligible shareholders.
 
Completed a private placement, issuing a new Series K subordinated notes with a face amount of $1.36 million to existing holders of Series G Notes.   In addition, Northcore completed a private placement issuance of 2.99 million common shares in consideration of the $449,000 Series G accrued interest debt.
 
The Company entered into an agreement with the debt holders in December 2007 to repay the accrued interest of $60,000 in cash in January 2008 and the principal of $170,000 over a two year term at an interest rate of 11 percent, in blended interest and principal quarterly payments of $24,000.

Customer Activities
Northcore devoted considerable effort in 2007 to growing our customer base and building long-term relationships with existing clients.  Our customers take advantage of Northcore’s suite of asset management software solutions and custom applications to introduce process improvements and reduce operational costs.  Through these efforts, Northcore:

 
Renewed a three-year application hosting agreement with GE Commercial Finance to provide web-based capabilities for asset disposition, asset tracking and asset appraisal.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
 
Extended the terms of its technology and services agreements with the School Board of Broward County, the State of Tennessee Department of General Services, and Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation. The customers use Northcore’s technology and services to manage their maintenance activities.
 
A key thrust of our activities in 2007 focused on increasing our revenue stream from the provision of technology-based services to our customers, such as The Brick.  These services allow Northcore to extend our relationships and provide a point of differentiation for the Company. In particular, these services center on the development of applications customized specifically for the needs of our customers.

The most prominent achievement related to our services delivery strategy was the signing of a master professional services agreement with a leading, Fortune 500 company.  This agreement, which already resulted in a number of revenue-generating projects, is designed to streamline the process by which Northcore delivers future technology and application development services to all of the customer’s businesses.

Joint Venture with GE Commercial Finance
Throughout 2007, Northcore devoted considerable effort in support of GE Asset Manager, LLC, our joint venture with GE Commercial Finance.  In particular, we launched a web-based sales platform to remarket off-lease and pre-owned equipment for the Toro Company. This private-branded sales platform, accessible via www.toroused.com, takes advantage of Northcore’s asset disposition and technology hosting capabilities.

Working with GE, we also delivered asset disposition capabilities to a number of organizations looking to maximize the yield for their surplus assets.  These customer organizations, such as the Fastenal Company and Arthur Machinery, represent several industry verticals including, transportation, construction materials and manufacturing equipment.

Throughout the year, we also continued to support a number of existing joint venture customers, such as Kraft Foods and GE Infrastructure.  Both organizations expanded their use of Asset Tracker, our web-based application for asset management.

Together, these activities provide a basis for continued growth.

We encourage you to carefully review these risks, as outlined below, 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.


ASSET MANAGEMENT FOCUS

Since 2001, we have focused our efforts on delivering asset management software solutions to customers in the financial services, manufacturing, oil and gas, and government sectors.

Our future success, including revenue performance and ability to generate a profit may be impacted if:

 
The significance of asset management requirements, including sourcing, procurement, project tracking, materials management and asset disposition activities, diminishes within our target markets and existing customer base;
 
We are unable to expand our suite of asset management technology to meet new market requirements;
 
We are unable to leverage new technology advancements into our core suite of offerings; or
 
Our existing partners shift focus away from current asset management activities to other areas.


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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Northcore maintains excellent working relationships with a number of key organizations such as GE Commercial Finance, Paramount Resources, Trilogy Energy Trust, The Brick, Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation, the School Board of Broward County and the State of Tennessee Department of General Services.
In 2007, two customers accounted for 69 percent and 10 percent, respectively, (2006 - - three customers accounted for 34 percent, 18 percent and 12 percent, respectively) of total revenues from continuing operations.  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, Northcore has concentrated its sales and marketing efforts primarily in North America.  International opportunities may arise, particularly, through our joint venture with GE Commercial Finance.

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.


FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

The Company’s revenue from software licensing and related services and e-commerce enabling agreements is transacted in various currencies including the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, UK pound and EURO.  Correspondingly, operating expenses related to these activities are transacted in the above-denoted currencies.  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.  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.

At December 31, 2007, three customers accounted for 52 percent, 24 percent and 11 percent, respectively, (2006 - two customers accounted for 64 percent and 17 percent, respectively) of total accounts receivable.  The Company does not have a history of non-payment.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

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 2007.  Management’s 2008 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 2008 expenses over those incurred in 2007, in order to attain the 2008 revenue goals.  Additionally, 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.  If the going concern assumption were not appropriate, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported net losses and the balance sheet classification used.

Management believes that continued existence beyond 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.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.  Estimates are used when determining items such as the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value assigned to the debt and equity components of the secured subordinated notes and the expected requirements for non-operational funding in 2008.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


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, 2007.


REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenues are derived from application hosting services, software license fees, software implementation activities, training and consulting services, product maintenance and customer support, and application development activities, and hosting fees.  Fees for services are billed separately from licenses of the Company’s products.  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 The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Emerging Issues Committee (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 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 and applications.  Under our existing hosting contracts, we charge customers a recurring periodic flat fee.  The fees are recognized as the hosting services are provided.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
Application Development Fees
Typically, development of applications for our customers is provided based on a predetermined fixed hourly 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 revenues 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 is 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 recognition criteria are met.  The revenue allocable to the consulting services is recognized as the services are performed

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 services 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.

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.

Northcore Technologies Inc.       2007 Annual Report      11

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
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 accounts receivable 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 year ended December 31, 2007.

There are no significant embedded derivatives or non-financial derivatives that require separate fair value recognition on the consolidated balance sheet on transition and as at December 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 debt instruments.  The carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $41,000 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 $41,000 offset by a decrease in secured subordinated notes of $111,000 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 year ended December 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 reclassified to reflect the application of foreign currency translation of self-sustaining foreign operations.  Other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 comprises foreign currency losses on translation of the Company’s former subsidiary in Norway, which was sold in the second quarter of 2006.


UNADOPTED NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Capital Disclosures
In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures (CICA 1535).  CICA 1535 requires that an entity disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital including disclosures of any externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences for non-compliance.  Disclosures required by the new standard will be included in the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.

Financial Instruments
In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation.  These standards enhance existing disclosure requirements and place greater emphasis on disclosures related to recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed.  Disclosures required by these standards will be included in the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.

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 receives a royalty of 10 percent 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 $116,000 (December 31, 2006 - $77,000) in royalties for the year ended December 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 retained access to all existing technology that will be used to service existing customers through a Value Added Reseller Agreement entered into with ADB Systemer.

The consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures for 2005 have been restated to reflect the impact of the discontinued operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Net Loss.  Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2.312 million, an increase of 257 percent from the net loss of $648,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2006.   In 2006, the Company recorded earnings from discontinued operations of $2.122 million, including a gain of $1.791 million realized on the sale of the Norway business unit, thus reducing the net loss.  Loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2.312 million, an improvement of 17 percent from a loss from continuing operations of $2.770 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2006.   The improvement in loss from operations was attributable to an increase in revenue, combined with a reduction in operating and interest expenses.

The loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee stock options and discontinued operations (“EBITDA”) was $1.575 million for 2007 as compared to $1.758 million for 2006, a decrease in the EBITDA loss of $183,000 or 10 percent.  The Company considers EBITDA to be a meaningful performance measure as it provides an approximation of operating cash flows. This decrease in EBITDA loss was the result of an improvement in revenue of $93,000 or nine percent, from $1.073 million in 2006 to $1.166 million in 2007, combined with savings of $90,000 in associated expenses (general and administrative, customer service and technology and sales and marketing) from $2.831 million in 2006 to $2.741 million in 2007.

Revenue.  Revenue is comprised of application hosting services, software license fees, software implementation activities, training and consulting services, product maintenance and customer support, and application development activities, and hosting fees.

Revenue increased to $1.166 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $1.073 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing a increase of $93,000 or nine percent.  The increase in North America's revenue of $389,000 or 59 percent was partially offset by the decrease in Ireland/U.K.'s revenue of $296,000 or 72 percent.  The growth in North America's revenue was attributed to the 119 percent increase in revenues related to the Company’s strategic partner, while the decline in Ireland/U.K.'s revenue was due to current year's revenue which consisted of the 10 percent royalty, whereas 2006's revenue included our full share of earnings for the first half of the year and the 10 percent royalty subsequent to the sale of ADB Systemer.

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 decreased by $87,000 or five percent, to $1.703 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1.790 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Year-over-year savings in the amount of $89,000 resulted from salary expense reductions arising from a smaller administrative workforce and favourable Canadian dollar exchange rates pertaining to US dollar-denominated salaries.  Continued cost-containment efforts resulted in $76,000 savings in investor relations, $65,000 in lower insurance premiums, and $34,000 savings in travel expenses.  These savings were partially offset by the increase in professional fees of $51,000 due to higher accounting and consulting fees and an increase in rent and occupancy costs of $63,000 due to rent rebates recorded in the prior year.

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 increased by $98,000 to $762,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $664,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 15 percent. The increase in expenses was due primarily to the increase in professional fees and staffing costs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
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 for the year ended December 31, 2007 amounted to $276,000, as compared to $377,000 for 2006, representing a decrease of $101,000 or 27 percent.  This decrease was attributable to lower staffing levels in the sales department, partially offset by the appointment of Sandstorm Technology Inc. as an independent sales agent to actively market and sell products and services offered by Northcore.  The contract with Sandstorm Technology Inc. expired during the fourth quarter of the year.

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 year ended December 31, 2007, employee stock option expense amounted to $94,000, as compared to $137,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of 31 percent.  This decrease was due to the vesting of prior period grants and the related expense.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $39,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $92,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of 58 percent.  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”.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense reflects interest incurred from debt instruments and loans.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $605,000 compared to $799,000 for December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of 24 percent.  During 2007, cash interest expense of $272,000 and non-cash interest expense of $333,000 was incurred related to secured subordinated notes.  Comparatively, cash interest expense of $345,000 and non-cash interest expense of $454,000 was recorded in 2006.  The decrease in interest expense was due to the maturity of Series G and H subordinated notes, partially offset by the issuance of the Series K subordinated notes in 2007.

Interest Income.  Interest income reflects interest from investments in cash and marketable securities.  Interest income was $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $16,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Interest income in 2006 was realized from investing the proceeds from the sale of ADB Systemer.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

Net Loss.  Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $648,000, a decrease of 81 percent from the net loss of $3.501 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2005.   The improvement in net loss was attributed to the earnings recorded from discontinued operations in 2006 of $2.122 million, including a gain of $1.791 million realized on the sale of ADB Systemer.  Loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2.770 million, an improvement of 21 percent from a loss from continuing operations of $3.493 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2005.   The improvement in loss from operations was attributable to a reduction in operating expenses of $1.072 million, partially offset by a decline in revenue of $212,000.

The loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee stock options and discontinued operations (“EBITDA”) was $1.758 million for 2006 as compared to $2.618 million for 2005, a decrease in the EBITDA loss of $860,000 or 33 percent.  This decrease in EBITDA loss was the result of a $1.072 million decrease in the associated expenses (general and administrative, customer service and technology and sales and marketing) from $3.903 million in 2005 to $2.831 million in 2006, partially offset by the decrease of $212,000 in revenue, from $1.285 million in 2005 to $1.073 million in 2006.  The reduction in expenses of 27 percent in 2006 when compared to 2005 was achieved in the areas of general and administrative expenses by $769,000, customer service and technology expenses by $175,000 and sales and marketing expenses by $128,000.

Revenue.  Revenue is comprised of application hosting services, software license fees, software implementation activities, training and consulting services, product maintenance and customer support, and application development activities, and hosting fees.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
Revenue decreased to $1.073 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $1.285 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, representing a decline of $212,000 or 16 percent.  This decline was attributable to the decrease in Ireland’s revenue as a result of transferring existing sales contracts to the Buyer upon the disposition of ADB Systemer on June 30, 2006.

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 decreased by $769,000 or 30 percent, to $1.790 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $2.559 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Year-over-year savings in the amount of $396,000 resulted from salary expense reductions arising from a smaller administrative workforce and favourable Canadian dollar exchange rates pertaining to US dollar-denominated salaries.  Continued cost-containment efforts resulted in $109,000 savings in investor relations, $195,000 savings in professional fees and a reduction in connectivity and occupancy costs of $158,000 largely due to the recovery of utilities and property taxes in North America and the relocation of the administrative office in Ireland.  The Company also recovered $58,000 in bad debts previously written off.  These savings were partially offset by the loss of overhead costs recovered from ADB Systemer in the previous year.

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 decreased by $175,000 to $664,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $839,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, representing a decline of 21 percent. The decrease in costs is due primarily to the decrease in professional fees, travel expense and staffing levels in Ireland.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2006 amounted to $377,000, as compared to $505,000 for 2005, representing a decrease of $128,000 or 25 percent.  This decrease is attributable to lower staffing levels in the sales department combined with decreased advertising and tradeshow activities and related travel expenses throughout 2006.

Employee Stock Options.  The 2006 employee stock option expense represents the fair value of the stock options vesting from the August 4, 2006, June 21, 2006, December 22, 2005 and January 25, 2005 grants of 500,000, 50,000, 1 million and 1.5 million stock options respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, employee stock option expense amounted to $137,000, as compared to $105,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 30 percent.  This increase was due to the expenses associated with the above noted option grants.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $92,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, consistent with an expense of  $95,000 the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense reflects interest incurred from debt instruments and loans.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $799,000 compared to $717,000 for December 31, 2005, representing an increase of 10 percent.  During 2006, cash interest expense of $345,000 and non-cash interest expense of $454,000 was incurred related to secured subordinated notes.  Comparatively, cash interest expense of $312,000 and non-cash interest expense of $405,000 was recorded in 2005.  The increase in interest expense was due to the increase in secured subordinated notes outstanding during 2006.

Interest Income.  Interest income reflects interest from investments in cash and marketable securities.  Interest income was $16,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $nil for the year ended December 31, 2005.  Interest income was realized from investing the proceeds from the sale of ADB Systemer.

Other Income.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company received a $42,000 refund from a U.S.-based credit card institution formally engaged by the Company when it operated its on-line retail activities in the U.S.  No similar refunds were received in 2006.

FOURTH QUARTER

Northcore reported revenues of $309,000 for the quarter, an increase of $59,000 or 24 percent over the $250,000 generated in the third quarter of 2007.  This increase was attributable to the increase in development revenue in North America and royalty fees in Ireland/U.K.  In the same period of 2006, Northcore generated revenue of $309,000.

Northcore reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $536,000, an improvement of $100,000 or 16 percent from the third quarter net loss of $636,000. The improvement in net loss was due to an increase in revenue combined with a reduction in employee stock option expenses during the quarter.  In the same period of 2006, Northcore reported a net loss of $571,000.  The improvement in net loss was due to a decrease in operating expenses as revenue remained consistent during the quarter.

Northcore also reported an EBITDA loss for fourth quarter of $372,000, an improvement of $44,000 or 11 percent from the third quarter EBITDA loss of $416,000.  The improvement in EBITDA loss was attributed to the increase in development revenue in North America.  In the same period of 2006, Northcore reported an EBITDA loss of $374,000.


LIQUIDITY

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 net proceeds of $26.4 million from disposal of investments. The Company has not earned profits to date and, at December 31, 2007, has an accumulated deficit of $111 million.  The Company expects to incur losses into 2008 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's business plan continues to anticipate a significant increase in revenue and operating cash flow, particularly from North American business currently under development, but there is no assurance that these objectives will be met.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,000 to $478,000 as at December 31, 2007 from $475,000 as at December 31, 2006.

Current assets of $635,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $955,000 in the current fiscal year by $320,000.  Current assets of $692,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $2.756 million by $2.064 million in the prior year.  Deferred revenue has been excluded from current liabilities as it is expected to be settled by resources other than cash.

a) Operating
Cash outflows from operating activities improved significantly to $1.571 million in the current fiscal year compared to cash outflows from operating activities of $2.037 million in the prior year.   The improvement was due to a reduction in net loss from continuing operations, combined with an increase in non-cash working capital as per below.

Non-cash working capital resulted in inflows of $275,000 in fiscal 2007 as compared to inflows of $50,000 in fiscal 2006, an increase of $225,000, as summarized in the following table:

c) Financing
Financing activities generated net inflows of $1.585 million in fiscal 2007.  The Company raised net proceeds of $1.245 million through a rights offering to existing shareholders during the third quarter of 2007, as well as the repayment of demand loans of $340,000 to private investors as part of the rights offering.

Cash flows from financing activities generated net cash inflows of $178,000 in fiscal 2006.  The sources of cash included the issuance of convertible debt, partially offset by the repayment of secured subordinated notes and advances from related parties.

d) Contractual Obligations

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Controller, concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in our corporate filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.


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 Corporate Controller, 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.
 

 
Northcore Technologies Inc.       2007 Annual Report      23

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Management’s Discussion & Analysis is dated March 19, 2008.
 
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 effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  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, 2007, 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, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

(in Canadian dollars)

 
1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Northcore Technologies Inc. (“Northcore” or the “Company”) provides software solutions and services that help organizations source, manage and sell their capital equipment and assets.  Northcore works with a number of customers and partners in a variety of sectors including financial services, manufacturing, government and oil and gas.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary, ADB Systems USA, Inc., Northcore owns a 50 percent interest in GE Asset Manager, LLC (also referred to as “GE Asset Manager”), a joint venture launched with GE Commercial Finance.


2.      CONTINUATION OF THE BUSINESS

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 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 2007.   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.

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 were not appropriate for these 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 2007 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.


3.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP), which are substantially the same as generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), except as disclosed in Note 21.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for a reasonable period of time and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations (See Note 2).

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries over which it exercises control.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Investment in Jointly Controlled Company
On September 23, 2003, the Company established a joint venture with the GE Commercial Finance, with each entity holding a 50 percent interest in the joint venture.  The joint venture operates under the name of GE Asset Manager, LLC.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect 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 (See Note 20).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in Canadian dollars)

 
Capital Assets and Amortization
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization 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
                                                
Software Development Costs
The cost of software internally developed for client applications through e-commerce enabling agreements and software licensing is expensed as incurred.

Translation of Foreign Currencies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in Canadian dollars.  The Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom are classified as fully integrated with the functional currency being the Canadian dollar.  The Company uses the temporal method of foreign currency translation for these operations.  Monetary assets and liabilities are translated 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 amortization of capital assets, which is translated at historic exchange rates.  Gains and losses from foreign exchange translations are included in the statement of operations.

The Company’s former subsidiary in Norway was classified as a self-sustaining operation whereby the functional currency of the operation was the Norwegian krone.  The Company used the current rate method of translation for these operations.  Assets and liabilities were translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Revenue and expenses (including depreciation and amortization) were translated using the monthly average exchange rate.  Gains and losses from foreign exchange translations were included as a separate component of shareholders’ deficiency.  The Company sold its Norwegian subsidiary in 2006 (See Note 4).

Loss Per Share
The treasury stock method of calculating diluted loss per share is used.  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.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived from application hosting services, software license fees, software implementation activities, training and consulting services, product maintenance and customer support, and application development activities, and hosting fees. Fees for services are billed separately from licenses of the Company’s products.  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 The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Emerging Issues Committee (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 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 and applications.  Under existing hosting contracts, the Company charge customers a recurring periodic flat fee.  The fees are recognized as the hosting services are provided.

Application Development Fees
Typically, development of applications for our customers is provided based on a predetermined fixed hourly 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 revenues 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 is 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 recognition criteria are met.  The revenue allocable to the consulting services is recognized as the services are performed.

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.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is comprised of the unrecognized portion of consulting and implementation fees received from maintenance and support e-commerce enabling agreements, and the unrecognized portion of license, installation, and consulting revenue on the sale of software licenses and related services.

Deferred Charges
Deferred charges are comprised of expenditures incurred in the issuance of secured subordinated notes.  The Company had previously deferred these costs and amortized them over the term of the related debt instruments.  Under CICA Handbook Section 3855, the carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $41,000 was charged to opening deficit on transition on January 1, 2007.  Under U.S. GAAP, the conversion of secured subordinated notes results in the expensing of the associated unamortized deferred charge.  The impact of this difference in Canadian GAAP from U.S. GAAP is disclosed in these notes to the consolidated financial statements under Canadian and United States accounting policy differences (See Note 21).

Secured Subordinated Notes
Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity element are required to have the instrument’s component parts classified separately under Canadian GAAP.  The Company uses the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model to determine the fair value of the conversion feature at the issue dates of convertible secured subordinated notes and discloses the liability and equity components separately on its balance sheet.  For similar instruments, U.S. GAAP does not permit separate disclosure of different elements of a financial instrument in the financial statements.  The impact of this difference in U.S. GAAP from Canadian GAAP is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements under Canadian and United States accounting policy differences (See Note 21).

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 accounts receivable 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 year ended December 31, 2007.

There are no significant embedded derivatives or non-financial derivatives that require separate fair value recognition on the consolidated balance sheet on transition and as at December 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 debt instruments.  The carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $41,000 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 $41,000 offset by a decrease in secured subordinated notes of $111,000 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 year ended December 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 reclassified to reflect the application of foreign currency translation of self-sustaining foreign operations.  Other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 comprises foreign currency losses on translation of the Company’s former subsidiary in Norway, which was sold in the second quarter of 2006.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method of accounting, which is consistent with CICA 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments.”  The estimated fair value is amortized to expense over the vesting period.  Performance based options are expensed upon achievement of specific criteria.

Stock-based compensation to third parties is recognized and recorded in the accounts of the Company at the fair market value of the equity instrument as determined by the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method.  The determination of future 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.  Future tax assets are recorded to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

Use of Significant Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.  Estimates are used when determining items such as the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value assigned to the debt and equity components of the secured subordinated notes and the expected requirements for non-operational funding.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


UNADOPTED NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Capital Disclosures
In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures (CICA 1535).  CICA 1535 requires that an entity disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital including disclosures of any externally imposed capital requirements and the consequences for non-compliance.  Disclosures required by the new standard will be included in the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.

Financial Instruments
In 2006, the CICA issued Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation.  These standards enhance existing disclosure requirements and place greater emphasis on disclosures related to recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed.  Disclosures required by these standards will be included in the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2008.

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 $2,687,000 in cash, subject to shareholder approval.  As compensation for the transfer of UK contracts to the Buyer, the Company receives a royalty of 10 percent 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 $116,000 (December 31, 2006 - $77,000) in royalties for the year ended December 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 retained access to all existing technology that will be used to service existing customers through a Value Added Reseller Agreement entered into with ADB Systemer.

8.      NOTES PAYABLE AND DEMAND LOANS

The Series H secured subordinated notes with a principal balance of $170,000 matured on October 21, 2007 (See Note 9 (d)).  The Company entered into an agreement with the debt holders in December 2007 to repay the accrued interest of $60,000 in cash in January 2008 and the principal of $170,000 over a two year term at an interest rate of 11 percent, in blended interest and principal quarterly payments of $24,000.  The total amount to be repaid is $230,000 ($145,000 representing current portion of notes payable including the accrued interest of $60,000, and $85,000 representing long term portion of notes payable).  The notes payable were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $20,000 issued to a director/officer of the Company.  The notes payable mature on December 31, 2009 and are secured as per the Series H security terms (See Note 9 (d)).

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the remaining Series G debt holders to repay the accrued interest of $113,000 and the principal of $240,000 over a two year term at an interest rate of 12 percent in blended interest and principal quarterly payments of $40,000.  The total refinanced amount is $353,000 ($233,000 representing current portion of notes payable including the accrued interest of $113,000, and $120,000 representing long term portion of notes payable).  The notes payable mature on December 31, 2009 and are secured as per the Series G security terms (See Note 9 (e)).  The classification of this obligation at December 31, 2007 has been reflected based on these terms.

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.  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 11 (e)).


9.      SECURED SUBORDINATED NOTES

 
a)
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued Series K secured subordinated notes with a face value of $1,360,000.  The Series K notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $60,000 issued to two directors/officers of the Company.  The Series K notes mature June 15, 2009, have an annual interest rate of 11 percent and are convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.12 per common share.  Interest on the Series K notes is payable in common shares upon the earlier of quarter end, maturity or conversion of the notes.  At any time after the closing, the Series K notes, including any accrued interest thereon, will be automatically converted into common shares at the Conversion Price when the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares through its principal trading market for a 10 consecutive trading day period is $0.30 or more.  The Series K notes are 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 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.

 
b)
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued Series J secured subordinated notes with a face value of $755,000.  The Series J notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $105,000 issued to three directors/officers of the Company. The Series J notes mature February 8, 2011, have an annual interest rate of 11 percent and are convertible into equity units at a price of $0.15 per unit.  Interest for the first year is payable in shares of the Company with the provision that the total number of shares issued as interest payment cannot exceed 6,529,959 shares.  Interest payable for the remaining term of the notes is payable in cash upon the earlier of maturity and conversion.   Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.20 per warrant.  The warrants expire on the earlier of (i) February 8, 2009 and (ii) the date which is sixty days following the issuance of a notice by the Company to holders confirming that the closing price of the Company’s common shares, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, was greater than or equal to $0.35 for any 10 consecutive trading days.  The afore-mentioned conversion provisions are subject to a four month and one day holding period.  The Series J notes are 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 Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series J secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series J 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 J 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 units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $202,000, $353,000 and $200,000, respectively.  The liability component will be accreted to $755,000 over the term of the Series J notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

During 2006, $470,000 (face value) of the Series J notes (book value of $156,000) were converted into 3,133,000 equity units represented by 3,133,000 common shares valued at $220,000 and 3,133,000 warrants valued at $125,000 (See table below).

 
c)
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued Series I secured subordinated notes with a face value of $1,200,000.  The Series I notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $110,000 issued to four directors/officers of the Company. The Series I notes mature September 12, 2010, have an annual interest rate of 11 percent and are convertible into equity units at a price of $0.15 per unit.  Interest for the first year is payable in shares with the provision that the total number of shares issued as interest payment cannot exceed 974,000 shares.  Any of the first year interest not paid through the issuance of shares will be paid in cash.  Interest payable for the remaining term of the notes is payable in cash upon the earlier of maturity and conversion.   Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.20.  The warrants expire on September 12, 2010.  The Series I notes are 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 Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series I secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series I 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 I 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 units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $280,000, $472,000 and $448,000, respectively.  The liability component will be accreted to $1,200,000 over the term of the Series I notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

Financing costs in the amount of $137,000 were incurred in the issuance of the Series I notes.  A portion of these financing costs, in the amount of $32,000 attributed to the liability component of the notes was allocated to deferred charges.  The remaining financing costs of $105,000 attributed to the equity portions of the notes were recorded as a reduction to the conversion feature on secured subordinated notes amount within shareholders’ deficiency.

In addition to the financing costs described above, the Company issued to the financing agent, PowerOne Capital Markets Limited (“PowerOne”), an option to purchase up to 747,000 equity units at a purchase price of $0.15 per unit.  The option expires on September 12, 2010.  Each equity unit consists of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.20.  The share-purchase warrants expire on September 12, 2010.  Using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model, the Company has determined the fair value of these equity units to be $193,000 and included this amount in other options.  The portion of the fair value of this option, in the amount of $45,000, attributable to the liability component of the notes was allocated to deferred charges.  The remaining portion, in the amount of $148,000, attributable to the equity components of the notes was recorded as a reduction to the conversion feature on secured subordinated notes amount within shareholders’ deficiency.

During 2006, $900,000 (face value) of the Series I notes (book value of $291,000) were converted into 6,000,000 equity units represented by 6,000,000 common shares valued at $257,000 and 6,000,000 warrants valued at $243,000 (See table below).

 
d)
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued Series H secured subordinated notes with a face value of $520,000.  The Series H notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $270,000 issued to three directors/officers of the Company.  The Series H notes matured October 21, 2007, had an annual rate of interest of 11 percent payable upon the earlier of maturity and conversion and were convertible into equity units at a price of $0.20 per unit.  Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one half of a share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.40 per warrant.  The share-purchase warrants expire on October 21, 2008.  The Series H secured subordinated notes were to automatically convert into units when the share price of the Company closes at or above $0.45 for 10 consecutive trading days during the term.  Holders could convert the notes into units at anytime following a four-month hold period.  If the holder did not convert and no automatic conversion takes place, the Company must repay the principal amount in cash.  In order to obtain the required approvals to issue the Series H notes, the Company retroactively increased the interest rate on the Series G notes from an annual rate of 7 percent to an annual rate of 11 percent. The Series H 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 Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series H secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series H 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 H 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 units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $282,000, $184,000 and $54,000, respectively.  The liability component was accreted to $520,000 over the term of the Series H notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes were converted into common shares.

Financing costs in the amount of $43,000 were incurred in the issuance of the Series H notes.  Included in the financing costs was the incremental interest expense associated with the retroactive increase of the interest rate on the Series G notes.  A portion of these financing costs, in the amount of $23,000 attributed to the liability component of the notes was allocated to deferred charges.  The remaining financing costs of $20,000 attributed to the equity portions of the notes were recorded as a reduction to the conversion feature on secured subordinated notes amount within shareholders’ deficiency.

During 2005, $350,000 (face value) of the Series H notes (book value of $226,000) were converted into 1,750,000 equity units represented by 1,750,000 common shares valued at $113,000 and 875,000 warrants valued at $33,000.

During 2007, the remaining $170,000 (face value) balance of the Series H notes (book value $170,000) matured and was refinanced (See Note 8).  Accordingly, 850,000 equity units represented by 850,000 common shares valued at $55,000 and 425,000 warrants valued at $17,000 were canceled (See table below).

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued Series G secured subordinated notes with a face value of $1,710,000.  The Series G notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $170,000 issued to three directors/officers of the Company. The Series G notes matured June 15, 2007, had an annual rate of interest of 7 percent payable upon the earlier of maturity and conversion and were convertible into equity units at a price of $0.31 per unit.  Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one half of a share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.50.  The share-purchase warrants expire on June 15, 2008.  The Series G secured subordinated notes will automatically convert into units when the volume-weighted average share price of the Company closes above $0.70 for 20 consecutive trading days during the term.  Holders could convert the notes into units at anytime following a four-month hold period.  If the holder did not convert and no automatic conversion takes place, the Company must repay the principal amount in cash. The Series G 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 Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series G secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series G 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 G 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 units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $959,000, $539,000 and $212,000, respectively.  The liability component was accreted to $1,710,000 over the term of the Series G notes through the recording of a non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes were converted into common shares.

Financing costs in the amount of $230,000 were incurred in the issuance of the Series G notes.  A portion of these financing costs, in the amount of $129,000 attributed to the liability component of the notes was allocated to deferred charges.  The remaining financing costs of $101,000 attributed to the equity portions of the notes were recorded as a reduction to the conversion feature on secured subordinated notes amount within shareholders’ deficiency.

In addition to the financing costs described above, the Company issued to First Associates Investment Inc. (“First Associates”) an option to purchase up to 485,000 equity units at a purchase price of $0.31 per unit.  The option expired on June 15, 2006.  Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one half of a share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.50.  The share-purchase warrants expire on June 15, 2008.  Using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model, the Company determined the fair value of these equity units to be $59,000.  The portion of the fair value of these options, in the amount of $33,000, attributable to the liability component of the notes was allocated to deferred charges.  The remaining portion, in the amount of $26,000, attributable to the equity components of the notes was recorded as an increase to shareholders’ deficiency.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Series G notes, the interest rate payable on the notes was retroactively increased to 11 percent.  The increase in the interest rate was a condition of the issuance of the Series H notes (See (d) above).

During 2006, $60,000 (face value) of the Series G notes (book value of $51,000) was repaid. Accordingly, 194,000 equity units represented by 194,000 common shares valued at $16,000 and 96,000 warrants valued at $6,000 were canceled (See table below).

During 2007, $50,000 (face value) of the Series G notes (book value of $47,000) were converted into 162,000 equity units represented by 162,000 common shares valued at $13,000 and 81,000 warrants valued at $5,000 (See table below).

During 2007, the remaining $1,600,000 (face value) balance of the Series G notes (book value $1,600,000) matured.  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).

In connection with the refinancing of the maturing 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 (See (a) above), to existing holders of $1,360,000 of the Series G secured subordinated notes.  Subsequent to year-end, the Company refinanced the balance of $240,000 Series G notes through the issuance of notes payable (See Note 8).

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 11 (d)).

 
f)
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company issued Series E secured subordinated notes with a face value of $1,000,000.  The Series E notes had an annual rate of interest of 11 percent that was paid quarterly in arrears, matured August 19, 2006 and were convertible into equity units at a price of $0.35 per unit.  Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one half of a share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.50.  The Series E secured subordinated notes would have automatically converted into units when the share price of the Company closed above $0.70 for five consecutive trading days during the term.  Note holders could convert into units at anytime following a four-month hold period.  If the holder did not convert and no automatic conversion took place, the Company would have the principal amount to the holders of the Series E secured subordinated notes in cash.  As part of this private placement, the Company issued 30,000 common share-purchase warrants to an associate of Stonestreet Limited Partnership (“Stonestreet”) in consideration for professional fees.  Each such warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for $0.50 at any time up to and including August 18, 2006.  The Series E 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 Canadian GAAP, the Company separated the liability and equity components of the Series E secured subordinated notes.  The Company determined the fair value of the debt component of the Series E 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 E notes using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model.  The resulting pro rata fair value of the liability component of the secured subordinated notes and the conversion features of the units, comprised of shares and attached warrants, was $596,000, $296,000 and $108,000, respectively.  The liability component was to be accreted to $1,000,000 over the term of the Series E notes through the recording of non-cash interest expense until such date at which the underlying notes are converted into common shares.

The Series E notes were issued to private investors including an amount totaling $100,000 issued to three directors/officers of the Company.  Costs in the amount of $6,000 associated with the issuance of the Series E secured subordinated notes were recorded as a reduction of the equity component of these notes.

During 2006, the remaining $375,000 (face value) balance of the Series E notes (book value of $375,000) was repaid. Accordingly, 1,072,000 equity units represented by 1,072,000 common shares valued at $110,000 and 536,000 warrants valued at $40,000 were canceled (See table below).

10.   INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, a future tax asset is recorded based upon tax losses carried forward and differences in tax and accounting values in the Company’s assets and liabilities.  The tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that the asset would not be realized.  The valuation allowance is reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for each reporting period.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company established the valuation allowance at 100 percent of the future tax asset.

Rights Offering

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.

In connection with the rights offering, the Company recorded a distribution to its shareholders of $449,000 which was valued using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial valuation model with the following assumptions: volatility of 62 percent, a risk free interest rate of 4.65 percent, a maturity of 23 days and a dividend yield of nil.

The distribution was recorded as a reduction to contributed surplus.  Upon issuance of the common shares under the rights offering, the value of the exercised rights of $427,000 was recorded as part of the common shares issued and the balance of $22,000 was recorded in contributed surplus.

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, each priced at $0.08 per share.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company’s revenue from software licensing and related services and e-commerce enabling agreements is transacted in various currencies including the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, UK pound, and EURO.  Correspondingly, operating expenses related to these activities are transacted in the above-denoted currencies.  The Company does not use derivative instruments to manage exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred foreign exchange losses in the amount of $13,000 (2006 - $8,000, 2005 - $11,000), which is recorded in general and administrative expenses.
 
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has limited exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  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.

In 2007, two customers accounted for 69 percent and 10 percent, respectively, (2006 - - three customers accounted for 34 percent, 18 percent and 12 percent, respectively, 2005 - two customers accounted for 31 percent and 29 percent, respectively) of total revenues from continuing operations.  At December 31, 2007, three customers accounted for 52 percent, 24 percent and 11 percent, respectively, of total accounts receivable.  At December 31, 2006, two customers accounted for 64 percent and 17 percent, respectively, of total accounts receivable.

Fair Value
The fair value of monetary assets and liabilities approximates amounts at which they would be exchanged between knowledgeable and unrelated persons.  The amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value, with the exception of the secured subordinated series I, J and K notes as it is not practical to determine the fair value of the notes as at December 31, 2007, considering that they are not publicly traded.

(b)  Financial Instruments with Liability and Equity Elements

Under Canadian GAAP, the secured subordinated notes (See Note 9) are recorded based upon the relative fair values of the liability and equity components of the instruments.  The liability component is accreted to the face value of the subordinated notes over the term to maturity until the underlying notes are converted into common shares.  Under U.S. GAAP, upon issuance, the secured subordinated notes would have been recorded as a liability and reclassified to equity only upon conversion.  No value would have been assigned to the conversion option under U.S. GAAP if no beneficial conversion option exists.  Accordingly, the interest accretion of $333,000 (2006 - - $454,000, 2005 - $405,000) that is recorded under Canadian GAAP is reversed under U.S. GAAP.

Additionally, under Canadian GAAP, the financing costs arising from the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated between the liability and equity components of the notes.  The Company had previously deferred financing costs associated with the liability component of the notes and amortized them over the term of the related debt instruments.  Under HB Section 3855, the carrying value of transaction costs at December 31, 2006 of $41,000 was charged to opening deficit on transition on January 1, 2007 (See Note 3).  Under U.S. GAAP, all of the financing costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the underlying debt.  As a result, the 2007 amortization expense under U.S GAAP is $65,000 (2006 - $128,000, 2005 - $125,000) compared to an amortization expense of $nil (2006 - $62,000, 2005 - $63,000) under Canadian GAAP.  In addition, the deferred financing costs are $44,000 at December 31, 2007 (2006 - $110,000) under U.S. GAAP as compared to $nil (2006 - $41,000) under Canadian GAAP.

Furthermore, under Canadian GAAP, conversion of debt results in the allocation of any unamortized deferred financing charges associated with that debt to shareholders’ deficiency.  Under U.S. GAAP, such unamortized financing charges are expensed upon conversion of the associated debt.  Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, an additional amount of $1,000 (2006 - $222,000, 2005 - $23,000), representing the unamortized financing charges associated with the conversion of the Series G notes (2006 - Series G and I notes, 2005 - Series H notes), is expensed.  The unamortized financing charges under Canadian GAAP, in the amount of $1,000 (2006 - $53,000, 2005 - $12,000), were allocated to contributed surplus upon the conversion of the Series G notes (2006 - Series G and I notes, 2005 - Series H notes).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in Canadian dollars)

 
Further, under U.S. GAAP, the beneficial conversion feature represented by the excess of the fair value of the shares issuable on conversion of the subordinated notes, measured on the commitment date, over the amount of the loan proceeds to be allocated to the common shares upon conversion would be allocated to additional paid in capital.  This results in a discount on the subordinated notes that is recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the subordinated notes and any unamortized balance is expensed immediately upon conversion of the subordinated notes.  Accordingly, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company has recognized a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $340,000 relating to the Series K subordinated notes.  In 2006, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features of $220,000 relating to the Series J subordinated notes.  In 2005, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features of $664,000 relating to the Series I subordinated notes.  An interest expense of $160,000 (2006 - $698,000, 2005 - $117,000) results from the amortization of the discount over the term to maturity of those subordinated notes as well as the unamortized discount for those subordinated notes converted during the year.  Canadian GAAP does not require the recognition of any beneficial conversion feature.

 
(c)    Investment in Jointly Controlled Company

Canadian GAAP requires the proportionate consolidation of investments in joint ventures.  Proportionate consolidation is generally not permitted under U.S. GAAP; instead investments in joint ventures are accounted for in accordance with the equity basis of accounting.

Although the application of proportionate consolidation has no impact on the Company’s net loss or shareholders’ deficiency, it does increase the amounts reported for the Company’s current assets, current liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flow from operations by the amounts disclosed in Note 20 as compared to the amounts that would otherwise be reported under U.S. GAAP.  As allowed under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this difference has not been reflected in the table of certain consolidated balance sheet items presented above.

 
(d)    Additional Disclosures as Required in Accordance with U.S. GAAP

U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  The accounts receivable balance reported on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007, includes an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $nil (2006 - $nil).

U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of accrued liabilities that exceed five percent of current liabilities.  Included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2007 are accrued interest payable of $109,000 (2006 - $574,000) and accrued audit fees of $98,000 (2006 - $95,000).

U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of non-cash interest components incurred during the year.  In 2007, the Company incurred $160,000 (2006 - $698,000, 2005 - $117,000) in non-cash interest expense associated with secured subordinated notes.

 
 (e)    Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements.  This new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company adopted certain new financial instrument accounting standards for Canadian GAAP purposes.  These changes in accounting policies were not required to be made for U.S. GAAP purposes.
