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 consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) 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 November 30, 2004, and for all periods presented, have been included. Interim results for the three-month period ended November 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

Note 2 – Going Concern

These 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 capital 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.

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.

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, Italy, Great Britain and Sweden. The US patent has a term of 17 years from the issue date and expires on November 11, 2015. 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 20 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 “IKONA Gear TM” Canadian Trademark.

The patent acquisition agreement with Diversified required the Company to issue 2,180,000 shares of common stock at a value of $109,000 to Diversified and pay $63,000 (C$100,000) less Diversified’s tax credit recoveries of $18,900 (C$30,000) relating to the patents.

The trademark acquisition agreement with Technologies required the Company to issue 20,000 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.

There is significant uncertainty regarding future revenue to be generated from intangible assets due to the fact that this is a new business with a developing technology and there are currently no comparable businesses in the intended market segments for which any reliable predictions for future revenue generation can be based.

Due to the uncertainties related to expected future undiscounted cash flows, management has concluded that the carrying value of intangible assets had been materially impaired and has written-down the entire value of intangible assets resulting in a charge of $183,763 to operations in August 2004.

Item2.            Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of Ikona Gear International, Inc., (the "Company") since August 31, 2004, and material changes in our results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2004, including audited financial statements contained therein, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Special note regarding forward-looking statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future business plans and strategies, statements about our need for working capital, future revenues, results of operations and most other statements that are not historical in nature. In this Report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "intend", "plan", "believe", "expect", "estimate", and the like. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statues or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, these are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.

Overview

We are commercializing our patented gearing technology (the “Ikona Gearing System”). The Ikona Gearing System utilizes a newly designed, patented tooth shape which enables gears to be much smaller, lighter, stronger and more energy efficient while allowing the highest single stage reduction ratio, lower backlash than any other gear currently available on the market. In high-ratio applications the Ikona Gearing System can replace multiple stage gearing systems with a single stage reduction ratio and is thus more cost effective to manufacture.

Our business strategy is based on building partnerships on the strength of our technology. Our business model thus, is to develop joint ventures and licensing agreements with leading industry partners. These partnerships will allow us to develop royalty and licensing revenue streams and to participate in revenues generated from the sale of products stemming from the joint ventures.

Our goal is to capture 5% of the multi-billion dollar gear design market within seven to ten years (worldwide gear manufacturing sales are in the order of $87 billion annually). Our goal in the current operating year is to enter licensing agreements in three distinctly different vertical markets with distinctly different business partners, where we will prove the virtues of our patented gearing technology in applications that generate revenues for us.

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 Over-the-Counter market under the symbol "IKGI."

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2004, and November 30, 2003, should be read in conjunction with our most recent IKONA audited annual financial statements as of August 31, 2004, filed under Form 10-KSB on November 26, 2004, and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

17


Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2004 (“First Quarter 2005”) compared to Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2003 (“First Quarter 2004”).

Operating Results

REVENUES. Revenues are generated from the provision of engineering services and from licensing royalties. In the three months ended November 30, 2004, we generated revenues of $1,604 from Aircast Inc. In the three months ended November 30, 2003, we generated engineering services revenues of $33,750. In August 2004, we agreed to waive the mandatory lump sum of C$1 million (US$840,000) royalty in from Magna Advanced Technologies (MAT) and Ikona negotiating financial and royalty details on a sector by sector basis dependent on the relative strengths of the engineering solutions and the strength of commercial demand for them. Also, as Ikona has trained MAT engineers to develop the Ikona Gear, we are shifting our engineers to other non-automotive applications and we have waived the requirement for Magna to pay C$20,0000 (US$16,800) monthly engineering fees as entertained in the original Phase I agreement between Ikona and MAT.

AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION. We record depreciation expense on our property, plant and equipment and amortization expense on our capitalized patents and trademark costs. In the three months ended November 30, 2004, we recorded depreciation of $18,734. As of August 31, 2004, we had fully amortized our Patents and Trademarks. We no longer have any unamortized patents and trademark costs. In the comparative period, we recorded no depreciation expense and amortization expense of $4,127 for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in depreciation expense reflects depreciation associated with purchases of depreciable equipment.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. Business development expense reflects internal and external costs to market our business opportunity to existing clients and potential new clients. Business development expense includes: the salaries and benefits of our President & CEO and our Executive Vice President; and fees paid to external consultants. Business development expense was $70,750 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the three months ended November 30, 2003, we recorded business development expense of $45,832. The increase in business development expense pertains to a significant increase in management fees to our directors.

CORPORATE FINANCE. Corporate finance expense reflects costs associated with fees paid to maintain the corporate finance function of our company. These fees are paid to our internal CFO and external consultants who oversee accounting, auditing, fund-raising and regulatory reporting functions for our company. Corporate finance expense was $24,300 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded corporate finance expense of $11,250 for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in corporate finance expense pertains to increased CFO fees associated with increased duties in regulatory reporting since Ikona Gear became a public reporting entity in October 2003, and recruited a full time CFO effective December 1, 2003.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of clerical and administrative salaries and benefits, office rents, office supplies, telephone and telecommunications expenses, courier and other general costs not attributable directly to other Income Statement line items. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $35,928 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded general and administrative expenses of $10,135 ($1,575 of rent was reclassified in the November 30, 2003 comparative period) for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expense pertains to the recruitment of an accountant and an executive assistant to support administrative needs of the company.

INVESTOR RELATIONS. Our investor relations expense consists primarily of external consulting fees and associated communications costs to increase investors’ awareness of our company. Investor relations expenses were $112,950 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, there were no investor relations expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in expense is associated with our company becoming publicly traded as of October 2003, and an attempt to significantly raise the awareness of our company to investors in the current quarter. Included in the expense for the three months ended November 30, 2004, is an amount of $15,534 of non-cash compensation attributed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options issued to investor relations consultants.

LISTING AND FILING FEES. Our listing and filing fees expense consists primarily of external consulting fees and associated communications costs to convert our regulatory filings into Edgar filing format. Listing and filing

18


fees expenses were $2,920 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, there were no listing and filing fees expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in expense is associated with our company becoming publicly traded as of October 2003, and the absence of regulatory filing expenses recorded in the comparative period.

PROFESSIONAL FEES. Our professional fees expense consists primarily of external consulting fees associated with our auditors and our US corporate and securities counsel. Professional fees expense was $16,912 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded professional fees expense of $42,550 for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The higher expense in prior year is associated with the expenses of our company becoming publicly traded as of October 2003.

RENT. Rent expense was $17,461 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded rent expense of $4,275 for the three months ended November 30, 2003. The increase in rent expense pertains to expansion of our company over the prior year and rent associated with our new facility.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expense reflects internal and external costs to develop our technology including the salaries of our engineers, fees paid to external consultants, and materials and supplies consumed by our research and development department in advancing our core intellectual property. Research and development expense was $133,042 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded research and development expense of $74,023 for the three months ended November 30, 2003 ($2,700 was reclassified out of research and development and into Rent in the comparative period). The increase in research and development expense pertains to growth in the size of our engineering team over the prior year plus a non-cash compensation expense of $45,652 associated with 50,000 stock options granted at $1.10 per share to a consultant.

TRAVEL AND RELATED. Travel and related expense all of our travel costs associated with travel for reasons of business development, R&D, and Corporate Finance. Included in travel are the costs of flights, trains, automotive rentals, accommodations, meals and other associated travel costs. Travel and related expense was $22,097 for the three months ended November 30, 2004. In the comparative period, we recorded travel and related expense of $15,851. The increase in expense is associated with establishing new investor relations programs in North America and in Europe.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at November 30, 2004, our total cash was $665,551, our working capital was $649,923, and our stockholders’ equity was $834,126. Since inception, we have incurred cumulative losses of $2,189,653. Our current working capital is expected to be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for approximately six months. Our ability to satisfy projected working capital requirements is dependent upon our ability to secure additional funding through public or private sales of securities, including equity securities. There is no assurance that we will secure the necessary capital on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, this could have a material adverse affect on us, including possibly requiring us to curtail or cease our operations.

Our Company is in the development stage and expects to remain in the development stage for the current operating year. We do not expect to generate significant net cash flow from operations in the present year.

In the three months ended November 30, 2004, our operations consumed $443,874. Our net loss of $442,270 was partially offset by depreciation of $18,734, and by $61,186 of non-cash stock-based compensation.

In the three months ended November 30, 2004, we spent $46,233 on furniture and machinery and equipment.
