Exhibit 99.1
 

NORTHCORE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS
 
(TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF)
 
TORONTO, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of technology solutions for capital asset management, announced today its interim financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.  All figures are reported in Canadian dollars.
 
Northcore reported consolidated revenues of $140,000 for the third quarter, an increase of six percent from the $132,000 generated in the second quarter of 2010.  In the third quarter of 2009, we reported consolidated revenues of $213,000. 
 
Northcore derives its revenues from application hosting activities provided to customers, the sale of software licenses, and the delivery of technology services, such as application development and software customization.
 
Northcore reported a loss for the third quarter of $1,044,000 or $0.006 per share, basic and diluted. This compares to a loss of $593,000 or $0.004 per share, basic and diluted, in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in loss was due to a provision for impaired investment in Southcore of $544,000, partially offset by a gain on settlement of debt of $57,000 during the quarter.  In the third quarter of 2009, Northcore reported a loss of $610,000 or $0.004 per share, basic and diluted.
 
As at September 30, 2010, Northcore held cash of $18,000 and accounts receivable of $84,000.
 
Operating Highlights
 
We accomplished the following activities in the period:
 
·  
Entered into an agreement with Xstrata Corporation to deliver a customized Asset Seller solution for the disposition of surplus mining assets;
·  
Initiated the large scale roll out of the NACCO Materials Handling Group ("NMHG")  remarketing platform to the Yale and Hyster dealer community;
·  
Entered into a collaborative sales and marketing agreement with Revere Corporation where both parties can now serve their customers with a broader product offering;
·  
Deployed key enhancements to Asset Seller, the Company's core sales platform that powers high profile remarketing sites such as GEasset.com; and
·  
Closed an equity transaction with GEM Global Yield Fund Limited securing net cash proceeds of $300,000.  As a result of the transaction, Northcore issued 2,191,000 common shares for the first tranche draw and 6,000,000 share-purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.27 and an expiry date of August 9, 2013 to finalize the availability of the committed $6,000,000 equity line of credit with GEM.
 
Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we completed a loan transaction securing net proceeds of $440,000.  The loan bears interest at 18.75 percent, matures in six months from the closing date and is secured by a general security agreement and common shares pledged by certain shareholders of the Company.
 
Outlook
 
"We will continue to focus on developing new business through a number of channels.  Our recent success with Xstrata should lead to further customers in the mining sector.  There has been an enthusiastic reception by Yale and Hyster for the debut of our holistic remarketing platform.  This has increased the visibility of our solutions within GE and should translate into more high profile customers for our GE Asset Manager joint venture. We have engaged a sales executive in the United Kingdom with whom we have prior experience and are now actively marketing in multiple European markets that could utilize our products. We also look forward to collaborative sales opportunities with Revere.  Hopefully, the expanded number of sales channels and the addition of more reference account successes, will help build momentum in our development of new business," said Duncan Copeland, CEO of Northcore Technologies.
 
Northcore will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday November 11 to discuss its financial results and review operational activities.  Investors and followers of the Company can listen to a live broadcast of the call from the investor relations section of the Company's website, http://www.northcore.com/events.html.
