IKONA GEAR INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements February 29, 2004
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – The Company and Nature of Operations

Ikona Gear International, Inc. (previously Oban Mining, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 20, 2000. The Company is in business to develop and commercialize a unique, patented gearing technology. The Company is commercializing its patented technology in applications it establishes through developing joint ventures and entering into licensing agreements with strategic partners in vertical industrial markets. The Company is considered to be a development stage company as it has not generated significant revenues from operations.

Effective October 30, 2003, the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Ikona Gear USA, Inc. (formerly Ikona Gear International, Inc.)(“Ikona USA”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the shareholders of Ikona USA received, pro rata, an aggregate of 15,041,633 shares of common stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Ikona USA. A principal shareholder of the Company surrendered for cancellation 14,500,000 shares of common stock, which resulted in the Ikona USA shareholders acquiring shares representing approximately 70% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Ikona USA.

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company prior to October 30, 2003 are those of Ikona USA. The Company’s consolidated date of incorporation is considered to be August 16, 2001, the date of inception of Ikona USA. Following the acquisition, the Company changed its name from Oban Mining, Inc. to Ikona Gear International, Inc.

On October 31, 2003, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ikona Gear Corp. a British Columbia Corporation. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at February 29, 2004, and for all periods presented, have been included. Interim results for the six-month period ended February 29, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

Note 2 – Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock and advances from related parties. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to complete additional equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management's plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on terms reasonable to the Company.

Accumulated deficit during the development stage $ (1,128,741 ) $ (730,743 )

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies

Stock-based compensation

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based employee compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount employees are required to pay for the stock.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the consensus in Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

The following table illustrates the effect on loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Note 4 – Patents and Trademark Rights

In September 2001, the Company acquired patent and trademark rights (the “Acquired Technology”) from Diversified Sciences Limited (“Diversified”) and Ikona Technologies Inc. (“Technologies”), two companies related by virtue of a common director, officer and significant shareholder. The patent rights relate to planetary gearing technology and consist of a United States patent, a Canadian patent and a European patent applicable in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Sweden. The US patent has a term of 17 years from the issue date and expires on April 9, 2013. The Canadian patent has a term of 20 years from the filing date and expires on July 29, 2014. The remaining patents have terms of twenty years from the date of filing the European patent and expire on July 26, 2015. The trademark acquired by the Company provides for the exclusive assignment of rights, title and interest in the trademark “IKONA Gear TM”.

The patent acquisition agreement with Diversified required the Company to issue 2,725,000 shares of common stock at a value of $109,000 to Diversified and pay $63,000 (Cdn$100,000) less Diversified’s tax credit recoveries of $18,900 (Cdn$30,000) relating to the patents.

The trademark acquisition agreement with Technologies required the Company to issue 25,000 shares of common stock at a value of $1,000 to Technologies, pay $62,000 to Technologies and repay amounts owing of $15,000 on behalf of Technologies.

The Acquired Technology was recorded by the Company at a cost of $231,100 and is being amortized over its remaining useful life. At February 29, 2004, the carrying value of the Acquired Technology, net of $40,540 (August 31, 2003 - $33,014) in accumulated amortization, is $190,560 (August 31, 2003 – $198,086).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "Ikona" mean Ikona Gear International, Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors".

Overview

IKONA is commercializing and further developing a patented gear technology that utilizes a newly-designed, patented tooth shape that enables performance characteristics that are substantially superior to existing commercially available planetary gearing systems. Since May 1, 2003, we have been engaged in a joint development agreement with Magna Advanced Technologies, exploring the viability of our technology for the global automotive parts market. We also entered into an agreement in March 2004 with Aircast Inc. to design and supply a gearing mechanism for their medical arm brace and for other braces that perform the function of human joints.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 20, 2000 as "Oban Mining, Inc.". On October 30, 2003, we acquired Ikona Gear International, Inc. ("IKONA"). As a result of the transaction, we changed our name to Ikona Gear International, Inc. and we changed the name of IKONA to Ikona Gear USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ikona Gear International, Inc., (“the Company”). In connection with the name change, we were assigned a new ticker symbol by the NASD, and our common stock now trades on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "IKGI."

On October 27 and October 30 of 2003, IKONA shareholders exchanged 100% of their 12,033,306 common shares for 15,041,633 common shares of Ikona Gear International which as of February 29, 2004 has 22,266,299 shares of common stock outstanding. Therefore, 68% of our current outstanding shares are held by IKONA shareholders in the form of one year restricted stock.

As of closing the IKONA acquisition, on October 30, 2003, we admitted the directors and controlling shareholders of IKONA (Laith Nosh, Dal Brynelsen, Barrie Freeke, and Simon Anderson) to our Board of Directors. On November 7, 2003, Raymond Polman joined our Board of Directors, and since then there have been no further additions to our board. On November 30, 2003 we formed an audit committee consisting of Laith Nosh and Simon Anderson, and we have deferred establishing a compensation committee. On January 22, 2004, Richard Achron, the previous President and sole director of Oban Mining, Inc. resigned as a director of the Company, and surrendered 500,000 shares of common stock.

16


We have formed and organized a new wholly-owned subsidiary “Ikona Gear Corp.” to carry on operations in our Vancouver, Canada head office, located at Suite 810-609 Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V7Y 1G5.

On December 1, 2003 we entered into an Agreement with Raymond Polman for his services as our Chief Financial Officer. Also, on December 1, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Cazgeld Capital Corporation (the “Cazgeld Agreement”) to seek on a best efforts basis to raise $1.5 million of new capital for our company, and to provide investor relations consulting services to the Company.

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 should be read in conjunction with our most recent IKONA audited annual financial statements dated August 31, 2003, filed under 8-K on December 12, 2003, the unaudited interim financial statements forming part of this quarterly report, and, in each case, the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Six Month Period Ended February 29, 2004 compared with Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2003 and Three Month Period Ended February 29, 2004 (“Second Quarter 2004”) compared to Three Month Period Ended February 28, 2003 (“Second Quarter 2003”)

Operating expenses (excluding amortization and depreciation) were $469,709 for the six month period ended February 29, 2004 compared with $125,924 for the six month period ended February 28, 2003. Operating expenses (excluding amortization and depreciation) were $265,792 for the second quarter 2004 compared to $8,506 for the second quarter of 2003. The significant increase in operating expenses is due to increased travel for business development and fund raising purposes, as well as an increased level of general and administrative expenses required to support the business development, travel and investor relations, and the overheads associated with operating the public company, costs which did not exist in the prior year. Also, in the second quarter of 2003 operating expenses (excluding amortization and depreciation) were significantly less due to a one time credit of $82,559 from a vendor, Ikona Gear (Canada), due a tax credit received from the Government of Canada.

Revenues from operations

Engineering revenues increased to $80,461 for the six month period ended February 29, 2004 compared to none for the six month period ended February 28, 2003. Engineering revenues increased 38% to $46,711 for the second quarter 2004 compared to none for the second quarter of 2003. The increase in revenues was due to a $10,000 non-recurring engineering fee associated with services provided to Aircast Inc. for the design of a gear mechanism for their Mayo Clinic arm brace. Other than the $10,000 in revenues from Aircast Inc. we have realized revenues consistently quarter over quarter since May 1, 2003, coming from a single source Magna Advanced Technologies (“MAT”) with whom we have a contract which provides for CDN$15,000 ($11,175) per month in engineering gear design fees beginning May 1, 2003. Prior to the MAT contract we had no revenues and therefore none were reported for the second quarter 2003.

Business Development and Travel Expenses

Business development expenses increased to $108,692 for the six month period Ended February 29, 2004 compared with $21,675 for the six month period ended February 28, 2003. We have increased our business development expenses for the second quarter of 2004 from $21,675 to $62,860 for the second quarter of 2004. This significant increase is related to three trips to Europe during the quarter to introduce the Company to potential investors, and with business travel to Aurora, Ontario and Austria to service the MAT relationship. We also experienced increased travel expenses regarding our relationship with Aircast Inc. We travelled to San Francisco for the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons convention where Aircast was promoting their Aircast/Mayo Clinic Arm brace (incorporating patented Ikona Gearing technology). We expect these increased levels of business development expenses to continue as we continue to service our existing joint development relationships and to develop new ones.

17


Investor Relations

Investor relations expenses increased to $52,008 for the six month period ended February 29, 2004 from $ nil for the six month period ended February 28, 2003. Investor relations expenses increased to $52,008 for the second quarter of 2004 from $ nil for the second quarter of 2003. The significant increase in investor relations expenses is due to costs associated with services provided by a public relations consultant to coordinate corporate awareness presentations in Europe, and with cash fees of CDN$3,000 per month ($2,235) paid to Cazgeld Capital Corporation (“Cazgeld”) plus a one-time non-cash compensation charge of $24,600 associated with 50,000 stock options granted at $1.00 per share to Cazgeld, and issued in the past three months.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased to $68,783 for the six month period ended February 28, 2004 from $2,155 for the six month period ended February 28, 2003. Professional fees increased to $26,232 for the second quarter of 2004 from $2,155 for the second quarter of 2003. The significant increase in professional fees is due to increased audit and legal fees to get our company public listed in late October 2003, for additional audit services required for the year ended August 31, 2003, for legal services associated with the Aircast Inc. Licensing Agreement, and for quarterly reviews for the public company. We expect that these fees will continue at these levels as the company continues to experience a higher than normal level of professional services associated with raising additional capital through private placements.

Research and Development

We are currently conducting research and development through our Canadian subsidiary Ikona Gear Corp. Our activities consist of providing engineering design advice to MAT to jointly test prototypes being developed within a gearing laboratory at MAT’s Aurora, Ontario laboratory premises. We conducted development and design for Aircast Inc. in January and February 2004 related to developing a gearing mechanism for their Aircast/Mayo Clinic arm brace. We are also conducting research and development activities with an industrial gearing application for a wood plant. In addition we are continuing to model and enhance our core intellectual property through additional research and testing and associated software development. These activities consist of developing prototypes, testing the prototypes with various materials, various weight and torque loads, and monitoring the performance of our prototypes over time.

Over the next twelve months we will be focusing our efforts on entering into co-development agreements and royalty arrangements associated with commercializing industrial applications which will be tested in our lab and in the labs of our co-development partners. We anticipate that we will expend at least $600,000 on research and development over the twelve months ending February 28, 2005.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We have invested approximately $43,000 in capital equipment over the past three months. This consisted of CAD Computing stations and associated Solidworks software, and furniture for new and existing employees. We intend to invest $50,000 into dedicated capital equipment for our Research and Development laboratory. As well, we anticipate that we will need to continue to supply CAD Computing stations (approximately $9,000 per engineer) for six new engineers as they are recruited over the approaching twelve months ending February 28, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its operating requirements with capital resources received over the last quarter from private placements of $581,285 ($610,500 gross less $29,225 in issuance costs) completed in January and February 2004. We have also received further cash proceeds of $964,925 ($1,016,200 less issuance costs of $51,275) subsequent to February 29, 2004 and as at April 13, 2004. Combined these private placements total $1,626,700 (net $1,546,200 after issuance costs) and will satisfy our anticipated operating needs for the next 12 months.

We had working capital of $277,750 as of February 29, 2004. We anticipate that this working capital combined with additional funds of $964,925 raised through private placements between March 1, 2004 and March 29, 2004 will fund our operating plan for the next twelve months.

18


Over the twelve-month period ending February 28, 2005, we anticipate that we will not need to raise additional funds to meet our existing and projected operating requirements. However, depending on short term milestones within our operating plan and favorable capital markets, management may seek additional funds to accelerate our operating plan in the coming months. We anticipate that these funds would be raised through additional sales of our equity securities and/or debt financing.

Over the past three months we have been financed with private placements with existing shareholders and high net worth individuals from private placements that we have closed in October 2003, and January and February of 2004. There are however no arrangements or commitments between the Company and our shareholders with respect to additional funding and there can be no assurances our shareholders will provide additional funding to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Employees

We currently have five employees and four full-time consulting contractors. We anticipate hiring six additional employees in the next twelve months to meet the Company’s operating plan. Currently there are no plans to retain additional contractors.

Other results of operations

Coincident with closing the acquisition of IKONA in late October 2003 we received the resignation of Richard Achron as our Chief Executive Officer and the replacement of Mr. Achron by Mr. Laith Nosh, the President and CEO of Ikona Gear International, Inc. Mr. Achron resigned as a director in January 2004 and returned 500,000 shares of common stock to treasury at that time.

In November 2003 we relocated the Company’s corporate and administrative operations to a new suite in our existing office tower and we are now located at Suite 810, 609 Granville Street, in Vancouver, Canada. We also entered into a short-term lease arrangement for our Port Kells, Canada R&D gear laboratory. As a result of this relocation, our operating cost for rent and associated utilities is approximately $2,600 per month ($CDN 4,510). We are presently searching for a suitable location to combine our administrative and engineering personnel and we anticipate relocating our premises to a new location in the Vancouver lower mainland area some time in the next three months.

We do not consider any specific accounting policies to be critical to the economic success of the entity.

Certain risk factors

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties including those outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

Risks Related to Our Business

Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate in future periods, which could adversely affect our stock price

The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. We expect our stock price to vary with our operating results and, consequently, any adverse fluctuations in our operating

19


results could have an adverse effect on our stock price. Our operating results have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to quarterly fluctuations as a result of a number of factors. These factors include:

  • the downturn in capital spending by customers or potential customers;
  • the size and timing of joint development agreements, and delays in consummating or advancing such agreements;
  • changes in the budget or purchasing patterns of customers or potential customers, changes in foreign country exchange rates;
  • increased competition in the gear design and industrial markets;
  • the introduction and market acceptance of new industrial gear technologies;\
  • changes in operating expenses and personnel, and
  • changes in general economic and geo-political conditions and specific economic conditions in the gear and industrial gearing markets.

Any of the factors, some of which are discussed in more detail below, could materially and adversely impact our operations and financial results, and consequently cause our stock price to fall.

Our expenditures are tied to the raising of new funds via private placements as well as anticipated revenues, and therefore imprecise forecasts may result in poor operating results.

Revenues are difficult to forecast because the market for new industrial gear technologies is uncertain and evolving.

WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE NOT EARNED ANY SIGNIFICANT REVENUES SINCE OUR FORMATION WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE WHETHER WE WILL OPERATE PROFITABLY.

We are a development stage company with no current operations. Our wholly owned subsidiary Ikona Gear Corp. is primarily involved in the development of gearing products, and commercializing and further developing a patented gear technology that utilizes a newly-designed, patented tooth shape that enables performance characteristics that are substantially superior to existing commercially available planetary gearing systems. Neither Ikona Gear Corp., Ikona Gear USA, Inc. nor the Company has an historical record of significant sales and revenues nor an established business track record.

Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in attempting to develop a new business. Our ability to successfully develop, produce and sell our products and to eventually generate operating revenues will depend on our ability to, among other things:

  - obtain the necessary financing to implement our business plan;
- develop a sales and marketing function either directly or through a business combination;
- successfully develop and market our patented gearing products, applications, and services; and
- successfully defend our patents to protect our technology from breaches by other gearing development companies.

Given our limited operating history, minimal sales and operating losses, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve any of these goals or become profitable.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND HAVE NOT EARNED ANY SIGNIFICANT REVENUES SINCE INCORPORATION, RAISING SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

We incurred a loss for the year ended August 31, 2003 of $369,303 and a cumulative deficit of $730,743 to August 31, 2003. We have incurred a loss of $397,998 for the six months ended February 29, 2004. We have generated only $124,768 in revenues from our inception on August 16, 2001 to February 29, 2004. We have no assurances that revenues will increase and we anticipate increases in our operating costs will be necessary to sell our products and services. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our gearing products and/or joint development relationships can gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales, and/or additional non-recurring engineering service fees, or until other products or applications are developed and commercially released, and until sales of such products are made so that we are operating in a profitable manner. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a

20


going concern, as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditor's opinion on the August 31, 2003 financial statements, which form part of our report on Form 8-K, filed on December 12, 2003. To the extent that such expenses are not followed in a timely manner by additional capital inflows (as described below) and ultimately by increased revenues, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected and our ability to continue as a going concern would be significantly in doubt.

WE ARE UNCERTAIN THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THAT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH OUR BUSINESS.

We have incurred a cumulative net loss for the period from August 16, 2001 (incorporation date of Ikona Gear USA, Inc.) to February 29, 2004 of $1,128,741. Even though we recently raised in excess of $1.6 million from private placements in January through March 2004, if we continue these losses and negative cash flows from operations, our ability to continue operations will be dependent upon the continued availability of capital from outside sources, unless and until we achieve profitability. We have no arrangements or commitments for additional capital, and there can be no assurance that capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Item 3 – Controls and Procedures

Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-QSB, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Management has had to provide estimates of travel expenses for executives who have traveled extensively and been unable to render final approved travel expense claims, however management believes that over-riding management reviews and conservative estimates have resulted in sufficient and complete expenses being reported. We have also received assistance from our Board of Directors and our audit committee in providing short-term review procedures until such time as additional funding is provided to hire additional executives assistants to allow more timely submission of approved travel expense claims.
