LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

It has now been one year since I was appointed CEO of Northcore Technologies. During this time there has been considerable volatility in the global economy. We have concentrated on ensuring the long term financial stability of the Company, while seeking to position ourselves to take advantage of the changing customer imperatives.

I believe we have made progress on both fronts and look forward to a strong Northcore growing to its’ full potential in the near future.

Second Quarter Financial Results

In the second quarter of 2008, we reported revenues of $207,000. This total represents an improvement of 32 percent from the $157,000 that we generated in the first quarter of 2008, and a decrease of 27 percent from the $285,000 that we produced in the second quarter of 2007.

While an improvement over Q1 results, until very recently Northcore did not have the funds to generate people who can add billable hours, but that is changing. More tellingly, our important projects are still in process. It is these initiatives that will provide the revenues that I, and our shareholders, are looking for.

We reported a net loss for the second quarter of $575,000 or $0.01 per share. This compares to a net loss of $692,000 or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2007, we reported a net loss of $590,000.

We also reported an EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2008 of $387,000. This compares to an EBITDA loss of $526,000 in the first quarter of 2008 and an EBITDA loss of $419,000 in the second quarter of 2007.

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

As at June 30, Northcore held cash and cash equivalents of $92,000, and accounts receivable of approximately $171,000.

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we raised gross proceeds of $678,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures. The funds will be used for general working capital purposes and to sustain Northcore’s operations so we can take advantage of the opportunities before us.

Operating Highlights

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

•

In partnership with GE, conducted a series of sales events for selected Fortune 1000 clients on the GEasset.com marketing portal. The site can be viewed at www.GEasset.com;

•

Completed the initial delivery of a new version of The Asset Manager tool, optimized for industrial settings and delivered on rugged-ized mobile devices operating under Windows Mobile; and

•

For the first time, offered consulting and development services directly from GE Asset Manager to selected industry leaders (completed the first engagement to a Fortune 100 food and beverage company).

LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Outlook

In this challenging economic environment, companies are seeking to more aggressively “stretch” or otherwise make best use of their capital asset investments. The tools provided by Northcore and by extension, our joint venture GE Asset Manager, provide this capability in a powerful harmonized platform. As word of our solutions and successes continues to spread, we look forward to the emergence of new opportunities, which should manifest themselves as a steady improvement in our financial and operational results.

Yours truly,

Duncan Copeland, CEO

1.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Northcore Technologies Inc. (“Northcore” or the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) for the purposes of interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes as required by Canadian GAAP in the preparation of annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP for the three years ended December 31, 2007, except as described below.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

Capital Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. This new Handbook Section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed. It requires the disclosure of information about an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. These new disclosures are included in Note 13.

Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the new recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures and Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation. Section 3862 requires entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments on the entity’s financial position and its performance and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. Section 3863 establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equities, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset.

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the classification and valuation of the

Company’s financial instruments. The new disclosures pursuant to these new Handbook Sections are included in Note 14.

The Company had no “other comprehensive income or loss” transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and no opening or closing balances for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

(in Canadian dollars)

In February 2008, the AcSB confirmed that IFRS will be mandatory in Canada for profit-oriented publicly accountable entities for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company’s first IFRS financial statements will be for the year ending December 31, 2011 and will include the comparative period for 2010. Starting in the first quarter of 2011, the Company will provide unaudited consolidated financial information in accordance with IFRS including comparative figures for 2010.

The Company is evaluating accounting policy differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS based on management’s current understanding of these standards. However, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS has not yet been determined.

2.	CONTINUATION OF THE BUSINESS

While the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, certain adverse conditions and events cast substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. 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 unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported net losses and the balance sheet classifications used.

Management believes that continued existence beyond June 30, 2008 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.

3.	TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company compensated the current Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $15,000 and $30,000, respectively.

The total refinanced amount was $80,000 ($52,000 representing the current portion of notes payable and $28,000 representing the long term portion of notes payable). The notes payable mature on December 31, 2009 and are secured as per the Series K security terms.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

(in Canadian dollars)

Upon the initial issuance of the Series K secured subordinated notes, the Company separated the liability and equity components. For the $50,000 face value, the resulting pro rata fair values of the liability component of the notes and the conversion features of the shares were $27,000 and $23,000, respectively. The liability component was to be accreted to $50,000 over the term of the Series K notes through the recording of non-cash interest expense until such date as which the underlying notes were converted into common shares.

As of the date of the assignment, the liability component had been accreted to $34,000. As a result of the refinancing and the terms of the note payable, the Company recorded the following amounts during the quarter ended March 31, 2008: (1) the equity component of the Series K notes of $23,000 was transferred to contributed surplus; (2) the 29,000 common shares recorded in the amount of $4,000, which were issued in settlement of previously recorded interest expense of $4,000 on the $50,000 of Series K notes up to the period ended March 31, 2008 were cancelled and the amount was reclassified to the notes payable balance; (3) the 110,000 common shares recorded in the amount of $17,000, which were issued in settlement of the previously recorded interest expense of $17,000 on the Series G notes that were rolled into the $50,000 of Series K notes were cancelled and the amount was reclassified to the notes payable balance; and (4) a charge of $25,000 was recorded as a non-cash charge in general and administrative expenses in order to record the face amount of the note payable as of the date of refinancing.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company repaid $11,000 and accrued interest in the amount of $1,000. The balance outstanding as at June 30, 2008 is $70,000 ($51,000 representing the current portion and $19,000 representing the long term portion of notes payable).

5.	SECURED SUBORDINATED NOTES

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued Series L secured subordinated notes with a face value of $525,000. The Series L notes mature March 31, 2013, have an annual interest rate of 10 percent and are convertible into equity units at a price of $0.10 per unit. Interest for the first two years is payable in shares upon the earlier of conversion or each anniversary date of the closing date. Interest payable for the remaining term of the notes is payable in cash upon the earlier of conversion, each anniversary date of the closing date, or maturity. Each equity unit consisted of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant. The warrants expire on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2013 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 $0.36 for any 10 consecutive trading days. The afore-mentioned conversion provisions are subject to a four month and one day holding period. The Series L 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 L secured subordinated notes. The Company determined the fair value of the liability component of the Series L notes by calculating the present value of the associated cash flows, using a discount rate that reflects the Company’s underlying rate of borrowing. The Company determined the fair value of the conversion feature at the issue date of the Series L 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 $119,000, $221,000 and $185,000, respectively. The liability component will be accreted to $525,000 over the term of the Series L 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 $21,000 were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred on the issuance of Series L notes.

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its accumulated capital in order to provide adequate return to shareholders by maintaining sufficient levels of funds, in order to support and further expand upon the Company’s current base of products and services.

The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, net of cash and cash equivalents and equity comprised of issued capital, contributed surplus and deficit. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the level of funds required to manage its operations. In order to achieve these objectives, the Company invests its excess capital in highly liquid financial instruments.

14.	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

Financial Instruments

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007
	(in thousands)
Financial Assets:
Held for trading, measured at fair value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	92	$	478

Accounts receivable	$	171	$	119
Financial Liabilities:
Other financial liabilities, recorded at amortized cost
Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and secured subordinated notes	$	2,627	$	2,235

The Company had neither available for sale, nor held to maturity financial instruments during the six months period ended June 30, 2008 or during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Financial Risk Factors

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, and U.K. pound. 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 quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred foreign exchange losses in the amount of $nil (June 30, 2007 - $8,000) and $3,000 (June 30, 2007 - $11,000) respectively, which is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

A 10 percent change of the Canadian dollar against the following currency as at June 30, 2008 would impact net loss by the amount shown below:

	$	(13	)

(in Canadian dollars)

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.

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

Three customers accounted for 76 percent (June 30, 2007 - one customer accounted for 71 percent) of revenues for the period ended June 30, 2008 and three customers accounted for 86 percent (December 31, 2007 - 87 percent) of trade receivables as at June 30, 2008.

The following table summarizes the aging of accounts receivable as at the reporting date.

	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007
	(in thousands)
Current	$	77	$	99
Past due (61-120 days)		75		-
Past due (> 120 days)		19		20
	$	171	$	119

Based on historical default rates and the credit worthiness of the Company’s customers, the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded is $nil (December 31, 2007 - $nil).

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, K and L notes as it is not practical to determine the fair value of the notes as at June 30, 2008, considering that they are not publicly traded.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. See Continuation of Business (Note 2). The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

As at June 30, 2008, the Company's contractual obligations and financial liabilities, including interest payments due by periods over the next five fiscal years, are as follows:

15.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 11, 2008, the Company completed a transaction resulting in the issuance of Series M secured subordinated notes with a face value of $678,000. The Series M notes mature on July 11, 2013, have an annual interest rate of 10 percent and are convertible into equity units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Interest is payable in cash upon the earlier of maturity or conversion. Each equity unit consists of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant. The warrants expire on the earlier of (i) July 11, 2013 and (ii) the date which is twenty 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 $0.20 for the preceding 10 consecutive trading days. Dundee Securities Corporation received a brokerage commission of four percent on a portion of the private placement. The afore-mentioned conversion provisions are subject to a four month and one day hold period. The Series M 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Dated: August 12, 2008

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Quarters Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

The following commentary compares the unaudited consolidated financial results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and analyzes significant changes in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview: Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $575,000, a loss of $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $590,000, a loss of $0.01 per share, for the same quarter of 2007. The improvement in net loss of $15,000 was attributed to a significant decline in operating expenses of $108,000, partially offset by a decline in revenue of $78,000 and an increase in interest expense of $15,000.

Revenues: Revenues are comprised of services (application development activities, software implementation and license fees, training and consulting, product maintenance and customer support), application hosting and royalty fees.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $78,000 or 27 percent, to $207,000 as compared to $285,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to the decline in implementation revenue as a result of a smaller workforce and the appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar as compared to the same quarter of last year.

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 $50,000 or 11 percent, to $398,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $448,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Savings over the same period of last year include reduction in salaries, investor relations costs and insurance premiums, partially offset by an increase in professional fees during the same period.

Customer Service and Technology: Customer service and technology costs include all salaries and related expenses associated with the provision of implementation, consulting, application hosting, support and training services. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 these costs amounted to $175,000 consistent with $178,000 reported in the second quarter of 2007.

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing costs include all salaries and related expenses for our sales and marketing personnel as well as business development expenses such as advertising, sales support materials, and trade show costs. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008 sales and marketing costs amounted to $21,000, as compared to $78,000 in the same period of 2007, a decline of $57,000 or 73 percent. This decline was a result of a reduction in staffing levels in North America and the Company opting out the renewal of the sales and marketing contract with Sandstorm Technologies, which expired during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Employee Stock Options: Employee stock option expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $9,000, consistent with $6,000 recorded in the same period of 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Dated: August 12, 2008

Depreciation: Depreciation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $9,000, consistent with the $10,000 recorded in the same period of 2007.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $170,000, compared to $155,000 for the same quarter of 2007. The interest expense for 2008 included a cash interest expense of $80,000 related to the notes payable and the Series I, J, K and L secured subordinated notes and a non-cash interest expense of $90,000 related to the Series I, J, K and L secured subordinated notes. The interest expense for 2007 included a cash interest expense of $67,000 and a non-cash interest expense of $88,000 related to the Series G, H, I, J and K secured subordinated notes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities: Operating activities resulted in cash outflows of $475,000 for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to cash outflows of $329,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in operating cash outflows was a result of the change in non-cash operating working capital as detailed in Note 11.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities: There were no investing activities during the second quarters of 2007 and 2008.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Financing activities during the second quarter of 2008 resulted in cash outflows of $11,000, as compared to cash inflows of $280,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The cash outflow during the current period was due to a repayment of notes payable whereas the cash inflow from the second quarter of 2007 was a result of a demand loan from a private investor.

Comparison of the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

The following commentary compares the unaudited consolidated financial results for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and analyzes significant changes in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview: The year-to-date loss from operations was $1,267,000, a loss of $0.01 per share for 2008, compared to a loss of $1,140,000, or $0.01 per share for the same period of 2007. The increase in operating loss of $127,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was mainly due to a decline in revenue of $243,000, partially offset by a corresponding decreases in operating and interest expenses of $112,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Revenue: Revenues are comprised of services (application development activities, software implementation and license fees, training and consulting, product maintenance and customer support), application hosting and royalty fees.

Year to date revenue decreased by $243,000 or 40 percent, to $364,000, from $607,000 the same period of 2007. The significant decrease was attributable to the decline in implementation revenue as a result of a smaller workforce and the appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar as compared to the same period of 2007.

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses declined by $54,000 to $841,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $895,000 for the same period in 2007, a modest decline of six percent. Savings over the same period of last year include reduction in salaries, investor relations costs and insurance premiums, partially offset by an increase in professional fees, financing fees and debt restructuring charges relating to the issuance of the Series L secured subordinated notes and the refinancing of the $50,000 face value Series K secured subordinated notes.

This decline was a result of a reduction in staffing levels in North America and the Company opting out the renewal of the sales and marketing contract with Sandstorm Technologies, which expired during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Employee Stock Options: Employee stock option expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 amounted to $19,000, consistent with $13,000 recorded in the same period of 2007.

The increase in operating cash outflows was primarily due to an increase in operating loss during the period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities: There were no investing activities during the first half of 2008, as compared to cash outflows of $10,000 for the same period of 2007. Cash flows from investing activities in 2007 were the result of the acquisition of new capital assets during the period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Financing activities generated cash inflows of $390,000 for the first half of 2008 as compared to inflows of $280,000 for the first half of 2007. The issuance of the Series L convertible notes produced cash inflows of $525,000, partially offset by the repayment of notes payable of $135,000 during the period. Financing activities during 2007 was a result of a demand loan from a private investor in the amount of $280,000.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Dated: August 12, 2008

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has been funded to date primarily through a series of private placements of equity and convertible debentures, sales of equity to and investments from strategic partners, gains from investments and option exercises. Since inception, the Company has received aggregate net proceeds of $92.2 million from debt and equity financing and has realized $26.4 million in gains on investment disposals. The Company has not earned profits to date and, at June 30, 2008, has an accumulated deficit of $112.5 million. The Company expects to incur losses further 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.

Current assets of $297,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $2,121,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2008 by $1,824,000. Current assets of $713,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $1,047,000 by $334,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2008. Current assets of $635,000 were exceeded by current liabilities (excluding deferred revenue) of $955,000 by $320,000 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007. Deferred revenue has been excluded from current liabilities as it is expected to be settled by resources other than cash.

Cash decreased by $487,000 to $92,000 as at June 30, 2008 from $579,000 as at March 31, 2008. This decrease in cash was the result of the activities described in the Results From Operations section above.

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company completed a transaction resulting in the issuance of Series M secured subordinated notes with a face value of $678,000. The Series M notes mature on July 11, 2013, have an annual interest rate of 10 percent and are convertible into equity units at a price of $0.05 per unit. Interest is payable in cash upon the earlier of maturity or conversion. Each equity unit consists of one common share and one share-purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant. The warrants expire on the earlier of (i) July 11, 2013 and (ii) the date which is twenty 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 $0.20 for the preceding 10 consecutive trading days. Dundee Securities Corporation received a brokerage commission of four percent on a portion of the private placement. The afore-mentioned conversion provisions are subject to a four month and one day hold period. The Series M 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.

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.

The accompanying unaudited interim 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.

The preparation of accompanying unaudited interim 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 important 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 services (application development activities, software implementation and license fees, training and consulting, product maintenance and customer support), application hosting and royalty 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.

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Dated: August 12, 2008

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.
