NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)
1. MANAGEMENT'S INTENTIONS
Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that
there could be substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time. These conditions and events
include significant operating losses, working capital deficiencies, and
violation of certain loan covenants. At September 30, 2002, the Company had a
working capital deficiency of $4,489,017, a deficit of $25,924,786 and has
suffered recurring losses from operations.
With insufficient working capital from operations, the Company's primary
sources of cash have been a revolving line of credit with Bank One and
proceeds from the sale of equity securities. At September 30, 2002, the
revolving line of credit was $4,980,000 including an overdraft of
approximately $650,000. Eligible receivables allowed for a maximum borrowing
of $4,330,000. The revolving line of credit agreement requires the Company to
meet various restrictive covenants, including a senior debt to EBITDA ratio,
debt service coverage ratio, debt to tangible net worth ratio and certain
other covenants. At September 30, 2002 and thereafter, the company did not
comply with the covenants contained in the revolving line of credit
agreement.
On July 1, 2002 and as amended on August 1, 2002, August 15, 2002, September
1, 2002, September 16, 2002, September 30, 2002, and October 15, 2002, the
company entered into a Forbearance and Modification Agreement with its senior
lender, Bank One whereby the Bank agreed to forebear from exercising its
rights and remedies against the company as a result of its violation of
certain loan covenants, until the period ending November 30, 2002. In the
event that the company defaults under the agreement including the failure to
make payment when due, the Bank is entitled to exercise any and all of its
security rights including foreclosing on collateral.
On August 13, 2002, the company received a commitment from Morrison Financial
Services Limited for a syndicated financing arrangement that will provide the
funding necessary to purchase Bank One's debt and security. The partners in
the syndicate are Maple Partners America Inc., Morrison Financial Services
Limited and MFI Export Finance Inc. Bank One has agreed to extend the
expiration of the Forbearance and Modification Agreement until November 30,
2002 to allow the syndicate to complete the financing arrangement. In
addition, Bank One has agreed to accept a $700,000 discount on the payoff of
its indebtedness. The Business Development Bank of Canada has also agreed to
sell its debt and security to the syndicated group with a discount on the
payoff of $300,000.
On October 15, 2002, the company signed a term sheet with Bristol Investment
Fund, Ltd. and a syndicate of other investors to issue Senior Secured
Convertible Debentures of up to $3,000,000 in multiple tranches. The first
tranche of $800,000 will be issued upon signing of a definitive investment
agreement and concurrently with the closing of the financing arrangement with
Morrison Financial. The funds will be directed to Bank One and certain of the
company's other creditors.
As at November 19, 2002, management's plans to mitigate and alleviate these
adverse conditions and events include:
A. Commitment from a new lender to purchase Bank One and the Business
Development Bank of Canada's debt and security.
B. Commitment from investors for a convertible debenture of up to
$3,000,000.
C. Ongoing restructuring of debt obligations and settlement of outstanding
claims.
D. Ongoing restructuring of operations relating to the closure of
non-profitable offices, termination of redundant staff and the
institution of other cost cutting measures. See Note 14. Although there
can be no assurances, it is anticipated that continued cash flow
improvements will be sufficient to cover current operating costs and
will permit partial payments to vendors and interest payments on all
debt.
E. Settlement of an outstanding insurance claim related to the loss of
assets and business for two offices impacted by the terrorist events of
September 11, 2001.
F. Focus on growth in the engineering division, including design services,
technical publications and e-learning.
THINKPATH INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)
Despite its negative working capital and deficit, the company believes that
its management has developed a business plan that if successfully implemented
could substantially improve the company's operational results and financial
condition. However, the company can give no assurances that its current cash
flows from operations, if any, borrowings available under its revolving line
of credit, and proceeds from the sale of securities, will be adequate to fund
its expected operating and capital needs for the next twelve months. The
adequacy of cash resources over the next twelve months is primarily dependent
on its operating results, the bank's continued forbearance, the closing of
new financing, and settlement of its insurance claim, all of which are
subject to substantial uncertainties. Cash flows from operations for the next
twelve months will be dependent, among other things, upon the effect of the
current economic slowdown on sales, the impact of the restructuring plan and
management's ability to implement its business plan. The failure to return to
profitability and optimize operating cash flows in the short term, and to
successfully procure forbearance from the bank and close alternate financing,
could have a material adverse effect on the company's liquidity position and
capital resources.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Going Concern
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The application of the going concern concept is dependent on the
Company's ability to generate sufficient working capital from operations
and external investors. These interim consolidated financial statements do
not give effect to any adjustments should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its
assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of
business and at amounts differing from those reflected in the interim
consolidated financial statements. Management plans to obtain sufficient
working capital from operations and external financing to meet the
Company's liabilities and commitments as they become payable over the next
twelve months. There can be no assurance that management's plans will be
successful. Failure to obtain sufficient working capital from operations
and external financing will cause the Company to curtail operations. These
interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
b) Change of Name
The company changed its name from IT Staffing Ltd. to Thinkpath.com Inc.
on February 24, 2000. On June 6, 2001, the company changed its name from
Thinkpath.com Inc. to Thinkpath Inc.
c) Principal Business Activities
Thinkpath Inc. is an information technology and engineering services
company which, along with its subsidiaries Thinkpath US Inc. (formerly Cad
Cam Inc.), Thinkpath Michigan Inc. (formerly Cad Cam of Michigan Inc.),
Thinkpath Technical Services Inc. (formerly Cad Cam Technical Services
Inc.), Thinkpath Training US Inc.(formerly ObjectArts US Inc.), MicroTech
Professionals Inc., and TidalBeach Development Inc., provides engineering,
staffing, training and technology services to enhance the resource
performance of clients.
d) Basis of interim consolidated financial statement presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
company and its controlled subsidiaries. The earnings of the subsidiaries
are included from the date of acquisition for acquisitions accounted for
using the purchase method. For subsidiaries accounted for by the pooling
of interest method their earnings have been included for all periods
reported. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts to banks, and any
other highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
THINKPATH INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)
f) Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the company's other financial instruments
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments
or the current nature of interest rates borne by these instruments.
g) Long-Term Financial Instruments
The fair value of each of the company's long-term financial assets and
debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated
with each instrument discounted using an estimate of what the company's
current borrowing rate for similar instruments of comparable maturity
would be.
h) Capital Assets
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized over the
estimated useful lives of the assets principally using the declining
balance method.
The company's policy is to record leases, which transfer substantially all
benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property, as acquisition of
assets and to record the occurrences of corresponding obligations as
long-term liabilities. Obligations under capital leases are reduced by
rental payments net of imputed interest.
i) Net Income (Loss) and Fully Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Weighted
Average Common Stock
Net income (Loss) per common stock is computed by dividing net income
(loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the year.
Fully diluted net income (loss) per common stock is computed by dividing
net income for the year by the weighted average number of common stock
outstanding during the year, assuming that all convertible preferred
stock, stock options and warrants as described in note 13 were converted
or exercised. Stock conversions stock options and warrants which are
anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of fully diluted net
income (loss) per weighted average common stock.
j) Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and the net realizable value.
k) Revenue
1) The company provides the services of engineering and information
technology staff on a project basis. The services provided are defined
by guidelines to be accomplished by milestone and revenue is
recognized upon the accomplishment of the relevant milestone. As
services are rendered, the costs incurred are reflected as Work in
Progress. Revenue is recognized upon the persuasive evidence of an
agreement, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and
collection reasonably assured.
2) The company provides the services of information technology
consultants on a contract basis and revenue is recognized as services
are performed.
3) The company places engineering and information technology
professionals on a permanent basis and revenue is recognized upon
candidates' acceptance of employment. If the company receives
non-refundable upfront fees for "retained searches", the revenue is
recognized upon candidates' acceptance of employment.
4) The company provides advanced training and certification in a variety
of technologies and revenue is recognized on delivery.

software consists of an initial set up fee, customization and training
as agreed and an ongoing monthly per user fee. The allocation of
revenue to the various elements is based on the company's determination
of the fair value of the elements if they had been sold separately. The
set-up fee and customization revenue is recognized upon delivery of
access to the software with customization completed in accordance with
milestones determined by the contract. Revenue is recognized on a
percentage of completion basis for contracts with significant amounts
of customization and clearly defined milestones agreed to by the
customer and an enforceable right to invoice and collect on a partial
completion basis. For contracts which require significant
customization, without clearly defined milestones, and an inability to
estimate costs, revenue is reflected on a completed contract basis. On
March 1, 2002 the Company sold its subsidiary, Njoyn Software
Incorporated to Cognicase Inc, a Canadian company. The net proceeds
after broker fees were $1,350,000 of which $800,000 was received in
cash and $550,000 was received in unrestricted common shares. The
shares were sold on March 11, 2002 for value of $524,673.19. As part of
the transaction, Cognicase assumed the entire staff in the technology
division. As a result, the company has had no further Njoyn revenue.
6) The company also signs contracts for the customization or development
of SecondWave, a web development software in accordance with
specifications of its clients. The project plan defines milestones to
be accomplished and the costs associated. These amounts are billed as
they are accomplished and revenue is recognized as the milestones are
reached. The work in progress for costs incurred beyond the last
accomplished milestone is reflected at the period end. To date these
amounts have not been material and have not been set up at the period
ends. The contracts do not include any post-contract customer support.
Additional customer support services are provided at standard daily
rates, as services are required. After the sale of Njoyn and the
assumption of the technology division, the company has had no further
SecondWave revenue.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition
issues. The effects, if any, of applying this guidance must be adopted by
SEC registrants no later than December 31, 2000 and must be reported as a
cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2000, resulting from a
change in accounting principle. Restatement of previously reported results
of the earlier quarters of fiscal 2000, if necessary, is also required.
The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
l) Goodwill
Goodwill representing the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets
acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a thirty-year
period. The company calculates the recoverability of goodwill on a
quarterly basis by reference to estimated undiscounted future cash flows.
Effective July 1, 2001, the Company changed its amortization period from
30 to 15 years on a prospective basis.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations"
and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under the new rules,
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized
but are reviewed annually for impairment. Separable intangible assets that
are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized
over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply
to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With
respect to goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001,
the Company began applying the new accounting rules effective January 1,
2002.
The Company has assessed the financial impact SFAS No. 141 and No. 142
will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and has determined that
there is no transitional impairment loss.

m) Income Taxes
The company accounts for income tax under the provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement
or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability
method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial
statement bases of assets and liabilities.
Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and
liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of
enactment. Deferred tax assets may be reduced, if deemed necessary based
on a judgmental assessment of available evidence, by a valuation
allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which are more likely, based
on current circumstances, not expected to be realized.
n) Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at
the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments
resulting from this process are charged or credited to other
comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average
rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses on foreign
currency transactions are included in financial expenses.
o) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These
estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary,
they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
p) Long-Lived Assets
On January 1, 1996, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be
held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Management used its best estimate of the
undiscounted cash flows to evaluate the carrying amount and have
reflected the impairment.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. The Company adopted SFAS 144, effective January 1, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.
q) Comprehensive Income
In 1999, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". This standard requires companies to disclose
comprehensive income in their financial statements. In addition to items
included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently
charged or credited directly to stockholders' equity, such as the changes
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of securities and foreign
currency translation adjustments.
r) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
In December 1995, SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
was issued. It introduces the use of a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation. It encourages, but does not
require, companies to recognize stock-based compensation expenses to
employees based on the new fair value accounting rules. Companies that
choose not to adopt the new rules will continue to apply the existing
accounting rules continued in Accounting Principles Board Option No. 25,
Accounting for stock issued to employees. However, SFAS No. 123 requires
companies that choose not to adopt the new fair value accounting rules to
disclose pro forma net income and earnings per share under the new
method. SFAS No. 123 is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1995. The company has adopted the
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

s) Computer software costs
The company accounts for the cost of developing computer software for
internal use, which may be sold as a separate product, as a research and
development expense until the technological feasibility of the product has
been established. At the end of each year the company compares the
unamortized capital costs represented by Deferred development costs in
Other Assets to the net realizable value of the product to determine if a
reduction in carrying value is warranted. Included in the software
developed for own use which may be sold as a separate product is the Njoyn
and Secondwave software and therefore for these products, the costs
incurred after technological feasibility was reached has been treated as
Deferred Development costs and the amount evaluated on an annual basis to
determine if a reduction in carrying value is warranted.
t) Investments in Non-Related Companies
The company records its investment in companies in which it holds less
than 20% interest at fair market value. Changes in fair market value are
adjusted in comprehensive income.
u) Recent Pronouncements
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which, among other things,
changed the presentation of gains and losses on the extinguishments of
debt. Any gain or loss on extinguishments of debt that does not meet the
criteria in APB Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions", shall be included in operating earnings and not presented
separately as an extraordinary item. We will adopt SFAS No. 145 at the
beginning of fiscal year 2003. We do not expect the provisions of SFAS No.
145 to have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting
for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No.146 supersedes previous
accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue, or
EITF, No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit on Activity (including Certain Costs
Incurred in a Restructuring)". We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS
No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as
well as the amounts recognized.
v) Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended
September 30, 2002, advertising expense was $94,232 compared to $105,593
for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, advertising expense was
$243,235 compared to $353,995 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001.

i) Conexys
During the year ended December 31, 1999, $383,146 of the Conexys
investment was included as a short-term investment as the company had
intended to sell these shares on the open market. During fiscal 2000, the
company acquired additional shares of Conexys at a cost of approximately
$284,365 in consideration of services rendered and reclassified the total
investment as available for sale. Since the shares of Conexys trade on the
Bermuda Stock Exchange, the fair value was determined based on the stock
price.
ii) Digital Cement
During fiscal 2000, the company acquired 1,125,000 shares of Digital
Cement, representing approximately 4% of that company's shares in
consideration of the co-licensing of SecondWave, software developed by
TidalBeach Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thinkpath Inc. The value of
these shares was determined to be approximately $507,865 based on a offer
to a third party to purchase shares in the company at a price of $0.50 per
share. During 2001, the fair value adjusted to $346,415 with a charge of
$161,450 to comprehensive income. During the three months ended September
30, 2002, the fair value adjusted to $95,795 with a charge of $250,620 to
comprehensive income.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This
statement requires the Company to evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill
and intangible assets based on assumptions and estimates of fair value and
future cash flow information. These assumptions and estimates may differ from
actual results. If different assumptions and estimates are used, carrying
values could be adversely impacted, resulting in writedowns that could
adversely affect the Company's earnings.
During the third quarter of 2002, the company completed its transitional
goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2001 and determined that no
adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was needed.
The IT recruitment unit was tested for impairment in the third quarter, after
the annual forecasting process. Due to a decrease in margins and the loss of
key sales personnel, operating profits and cash flows were lower than
expected in the first nine months of 2002. Based on that trend, the earnings
forecast for the next two years was revised. At September 30, 2002, a
goodwill impairment loss of $57,808 was recognized in the IT recruitment
reporting unit. The fair value of that reporting unit was estimated using the
expected present value of future cash flows.
On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the company expects to
perform a goodwill impairment test as of the end of the third quarter of
every year.

i) September 30, 2002
At September 30, 2002, the balance of the revolving line of credit was
$4,980,000 including an overdraft of approximately $650,000. The
revolving line of credit provided for a maximum borrowing amount of
$4,330,000 at variable interest rates based on eligible accounts
receivable. The revolving line of credit agreement requires the Company
to meet various restrictive covenants, including a senior debt to
EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage ratio, debt to tangible net worth
ratio and certain other covenants. At September 30, 2002 and
thereafter, the Company was not in compliance with the covenants
contained in the revolving line of credit agreement.

On July 1, 2002 and as amended on August 1, 2002, August 15, 2002,
September 1, 2002, September 16, 2002, September 30, 2002, October 15,
2002, and November 15, 2002, the company entered into a Forbearance and
Modification Agreement with its senior lender, Bank One whereby the
Bank agreed to forebear from exercising its rights and remedies against
the company as a result of its violation of certain loan covenants,
until the period ending November 30, 2002. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Bank is entitled to forbearance fees and payment of
related legal fees and expenses. As of November 19, 2002, the Bank has
charged the company $204,000 in forbearance fees and $18,000 in legal
fees. The interest rate on the revolving line facility was increased to
prime plus 3%. The company has continued to borrow from the revolving
line facility subject to eligible accounts receivables as monitored
weekly by the Bank. In the event that the company defaults under the
agreement including the failure to make payment when due, the Bank is
entitled to exercise any and all of its security rights including
foreclosing on collateral.
Bank One has agreed to extend the expiration of the Forbearance and
Modification Agreement until November 30, 2002 to allow the company's
new lender complete the financing arrangement required to purchase Bank
One's debt and security. In addition, Bank One has agreed to accept a
$700,000 discount on the payoff of its indebtedness.
ii) December 31, 2001
At December 31, 2001, the Company had $4,870,000 outstanding with Bank
One. The revolving line of credit provided for a maximum borrowing
amount of $4,760,000 at variable interest rates based on eligible
accounts receivable. At December 31, 2001, the Company had an overdraft
of $110,000. The Company does not have an authorized overdraft facility
with Bank One, however the bank has allowed an overdraft of up to
$500,000 on a regular basis for approximately ten weeks. At December
31, 2001 and thereafter, the Company was not in compliance with the
covenants contained in the revolving line of credit agreement.
As a result of the default on the loan covenants governing our credit
line facility, Bank One restricted our repayment of certain
subordinated loans and notes payable which affected payments to the
Business Development Bank of Canada, Roger Walters and Denise
Dunne-Fushi.
11. LONG-TERM DEBT
i) September 30, 2002
At September 30, 2002, the Company had $400,652 in subordinated debt
outstanding to the Business Development Bank of Canada. The loan
agreements require the Company to meet a certain working capital ratio.
At September 30, 2002 and thereafter, the Company was not in compliance
with the covenant contained in the loan agreements. On September 27,
2002, the company received a notice of default demanding repayment of
the loans in full and the BDC's intention to enforce its security if
repayment was not made within 10 days. On October 7, 2002, the BDC
agreed to extend the stay of the demand period and on November 4, 2002
accepted a proposal from Morrison Financial to purchase its debt and
security at a 75% discount. The purchase will close concurrently with
the syndicated financing arrangement with Morrison Financial, the
repayment of Bank One and the first tranche of the senior convertible
debenture.
In May 2002, the company secured a loan of $259,375 from an individual,
Terry Lyons which was secured by the company's IRS refund. The company
paid a placement fee of 10% to Mr. Lyons. Although the company received

of grant and will vest at 50% per year. In addition, Johnston &
Associates will be compensated at a rate of $10,000 per month for twelve
months from April 2002 until March 31, 2003.
f) Stock Options
The company had outstanding stock options issued in conjunction with its
long-term financing agreements for 22,122 common stock which were
exercised in July 2001, the cost of which has been expensed prior to
January 1, 1999, and additional options issued to a previous employee of
the company for 200,000 shares exercisable at $2.10, of which 18,508 were
exercised during 2000. The balance of 181,492 are outstanding.
During 1999, 250,500 options to purchase shares of the company were
issued to related parties. The options are exercisable at $3.19.
In connection with the acquisition of Cad Cam Inc. 100,000 options to
purchase shares of the company were delivered in quarterly installments
of 25,000 options each, starting January 1, 2000. The exercise amounts
ranged from $2.12 to $3.25. The exercise price was amended to $1.00 and
these options will be exercisable between April 4, 2001 to 2004. The cost
of re-pricing of these options totaling $100,000 has been recorded in
Acquisition costs and financing expenses for the year ended December 31,
2000.
In July 1999, the directors of the company adopted and the stockholders
approved the adoption of the company's 1998 Stock Option Plan. In May
2000, the directors approved the adoption of the 2000 Stock Option Plan.
In June 2001, the directors approved the adoption of the 2001 Stock
Option Plan. Each of the plans provides for the issuance of 435,000
options. In October 2002, the directors of the company adopted and the
stockholders approved the adoption of the company's 2002 Stock Option
Plan which provides for the issuance of 6,500,000 options.
The plans are administrated by the Compensation Committee or the Board of
Directors, which determine among other things, those individuals who
shall receive options, the time period during which the options may be
partially or fully exercised, the number of common stock to be issued
upon the exercise of the options and the option exercise price.
The plans are effective for a period of ten years and options may be
granted to officers, directors, consultants, key employees, advisors and
similar parties who provide their skills and expertise to the company.
Options granted under the plans generally require a three-year vesting
period, and shall be at an exercise price that may not be less than the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Options
are non-transferable and if a participant ceases affiliation with the
company by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement at or
after age 65, the option remains exercisable for one year from such
occurrence but not beyond the option's expiration date. Other types of
termination allow the participant 90 days to exercise the option, except
for termination for cause, which results in immediate termination of the
option.
Any unexercised options that expire or that terminate upon an employee's
ceasing to be employed by the company become available again for issuance
under the plans, subject to applicable securities regulation.

The plans may be terminated or amended at any time by the Board of
Directors, except that the number of common stock reserved for issuance

without the consent of the stockholders of the company.
Included in the options granted in 2000 were 260,000 options issued to
related parties in December 2000. The options are exercisable at $0.70 and
expire December 2005.
14. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
At the end of December 31, 2001 the Company had a restructuring reserve
balance of $79,118 as a result of certain of the Company's actions to
better align its cost structure with expected revenue growth rates. The
restructuring activities related to the closure of one training location
in London, Ontario resulting in costs to sever 3 employees with long-term
contracts until December 2002 and the lease commitment for the premises in
London Ontario. These long-term contracts do not require the employees to
provide services until the date of involuntary termination. Other
employees at the London location, without contracts, were terminated
during March 2001 and April 2001. In addition, in February 2001, the
company began to close down one of its research and development (R&D)
offices in Toronto. The company continued to terminate employees until
April 2001.
The remaining accrual will be relieved throughout fiscal 2002 as severance
payments are completed. Details of the restructuring costs and reserve
balance is as follows;

==========
Issue expenses totaling approximately $1,300,000 may be claimed at the
rate of 20% per year until 2005. To the extent that these expenses create
a loss, the loss is available to be carried forward for seven years from
the year the loss is incurred. As the US subsidiaries have been acquired
by a non-US entity, the taxable income will be increased by approximately
$1,900,000 over the next three years as the company is required to change
its taxation method from the cash basis to the accrual basis. The company
has not reflected the benefit of utilizing non-capital losses totaling
approximately $10,000,000 in the future as a deferred tax asset as at
September 30, 2002. As at the completion of the September 30, 2002
financial statements, management believed it was more likely than not that
the results of future operations would not generate sufficient taxable
income to realize the deferred tax assets.
