VALIDIAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated, Condensed Financial Statements

June 30, 2011

(In United States dollars)


Validian Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 12, 1989 as CCC Funding Corp.  The Company underwent several name changes before being renamed to Validian Corporation on January 28, 2003.


Since August 3, 1999, the efforts of the Company have been devoted primarily to the development of a high speed, highly secure method of transacting business using the Internet, and to the sale and marketing of the Company’s products.  


1.  Basis of presentation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Validian Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While management has based its assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances currently known, final amounts may differ from such estimates.


The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.  These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared following accounting principles consistent with those used in the annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.


Going concern


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has no revenues, has negative working capital of $9,518,462 and stockholders’ deficiency of $9,513,177 as at June 30, 2011, and has incurred a loss of $888,785 and negative cash flow from operations of $123,632 for the six months then ended.  Furthermore, the Company failed to settle certain 10% senior convertible notes and promissory notes plus accrued interest when they matured on various dates between October 2008 and December 2010.  As a result of these non-payment defaults, all of the 10% senior convertible notes, as well as $36,250 of the promissory notes were in default at June 30, 2011, in accordance with the default provisions of the respective notes, and consequently are due and payable on demand.  In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and has no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place.  


The Company expects to incur operating expenses of approximately $657,000 for the year ending December 31, 2011, subject to the availability of adequate funding.  In the event the Company cannot raise the additional funds necessary to finance its research and development and sales and marketing activities, it may have to cease operations.


All of the factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan to address these issues includes raising capital through the private placement of equity, the exercise of previously-issued equity instruments and through the issuance of additional promissory notes.   The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement these plans.  Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s position and or results of operations and could also result in the Company ceasing operations.  The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be required if the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal course of operations.


Even if successful in obtaining financing in the near term, the Company cannot be certain that cash generated from its future operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements in the longer term, and it may need to continue to raise capital by issuing additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities.  The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the market acceptance of its products and the level of its promotional activities and advertising required to generate product sales.  No assurance can be given that any such additional funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued of $60,000 of its 10% senior convertible notes for cash, $50,000 of the notes in settlement of accounts payable, and $303,847 of the notes in settlement of $289,658 in 12% convertible notes and $14,189 in accrued interest thereon.  During this period the Company also settled $411,115 of the notes, and $55,769 in accrued interest thereon through the issuance of 12% convertible promissory notes.  As well, holders of the notes exercised the conversion feature of the notes, and converted $66,031 in principal and $7,164 in accrued interest thereon into 2,439,816 common shares of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  


Under the terms of the notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the holders are permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the company, at a rate of one common share for each $0.03 of debt converted.  The Company has the option of pre-paying all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus, with the permission of the holders.  Interest on the notes is accrued until the notes are either repaid by the Company or converted by the holder; holders of $60,000 of the notes issued during the period are also entitled to receive payment of accrued interest on submission to the Company of a written request.  At the Company’s option, interest may be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be calculated at the rate of conversion in effect for the conversion of the note principal.  The notes are payable on demand.  


Holders of the notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were granted 3,638,468 common shares of the Company upon issuance of the notes; $6,241, representing the relative fair value of the common shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid in capital.

3.  10% Senior convertible notes (continued)


$2,000, representing the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was allocated to additional paid in capital.


The Company failed to settle certain of its 10% senior convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon when they matured on various dates between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010.  At June 30, 2011, a significant portion of these notes remained in default for non-payment.  As a result of these non-payment defaults, all of the 10% senior convertible notes are in default at June 30, 2011, in accordance with the default provisions of the notes, and consequently are payable on demand.  Interest is accrued at the coupon rate on all notes outstanding past the maturity date.

5.  Convertible promissory notes


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued $72,500 of its convertible promissory notes for cash.  The notes bear interest at the rate of 8% until they mature, or until there is an event of default; thereafter, any portion of the principal or interest which has not been settled will be subject to interest at the rate of 22% per annum.  


$40,000 of the convertible promissory notes mature on November 18, 2011, and may be prepaid during the period from issuance to August 15, 2011, in whole or in part, at various rates ranging from 130% to 145% of the principal balance plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment.  The holder has the option to convert any balance of principal and interest which is unpaid at August 15, 2011 or thereafter, into common stock of the Company.  The rate of conversion is to be calculated as the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten day period immediately preceding such conversion, discounted by 42%.   


$32,500 of the convertible promissory notes mature on January 30, 2012, and may be prepaid during the period from issuance to October 24, 2011, in whole or in part, at various rates ranging from 130% to 145% of the principal balance plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment.  The holder has the option to convert any balance of principal and interest which is unpaid at October 24, 2011 or thereafter, into common stock of the Company.  The rate of conversion is to be calculated as the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten day period immediately preceding such conversion, discounted by 42%.   


The convertible promissory notes contain penalty provisions relating to events of default, pursuant to which the Company could be required not only to pay interest at the rate of 22% following such an event, but also to pay immediately 150% of the principal outstanding plus accrued interest and penalty interest; alternatively, the Company could be required, at the discretion of the holder, to issue stock in satisfaction of the value determined under such penalty provisions, at the rate of conversion in effect at such time as the holder so elects.  In addition to non-payment of the note principal and interest at maturity or failure to transfer stock on receipt of a notice of conversion from the holder, events of default include making an assignment or appointment of a receiver or trustee, ceasing operations, liquidating assets or entering into bankruptcy proceedings; certain money judgments filed against the Company; breach of covenants, representations or warranties under the note; delisting of the Company’s stock or failure to comply with the exchange act; failure to maintain property or rights which are necessary to the Company’s business; certain restatements of the Company’s financial statements as filed with the SEC during the preceding two years; effectuating a reverse stock split without first providing the holder with 20 days’ notice of such occurrence; replacing the Company’s transfer agent without first providing to the successor transfer agent, the necessary instructions to effect a transfer of stock to the holder pursuant to the terms of the note.  


$56,942, representing the relative fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the notes, was allocated to additional paid in capital.  The convertible promissory notes are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes, through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest rate method.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, accretion of $7,537 (2010: $nil)  and $10,782 (2010:  $nil), respectively, was recognized, through charges to interest and financing costs, leaving a balance of $46,160 to be accreted over the remaining term of the notes.  


$5,000 in finance fees were incurred in relation to the convertible promissory notes, and are being charged to interest and financing costs over the term of the notes, using the effective interest rate method.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $584 (2010:  $nil) and $787 (2010:  $nil), respectively, was charged to interest and financing costs in relation to these finance fees, leaving a balance of $4,213 to be amortized to expense over the remaining term of the note.


Also during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $1,254 (2010:  $nil) and $1,631 (2010:  $nil), respectively, in coupon rate interest relating to the convertible promissory notes was charged to interest and financing costs.

7.  Stockholders’ deficiency


(a)  Common stock transactions


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as an incentive for a consultant to enter into a consulting agreement with the Company.  $15,000, representing the fair value of the stock at date of issuance, has been allocated to shares and additional paid in capital.


On January 31, 2011, holders of the 10% senior convertible notes exercised the conversion feature of the notes, and converted an aggregate of $66,031 in note principal, plus $7,164 in accrued interest thereon, in exchange for 2,439,816 common shares of the Corporation (note 3).  $73,195 has been allocated to the stock and additional paid in capital to reflect this transaction.


On March 21, 2011, the Company issued 266,666 shares of its common stock in settlement of $8,000 in accounts payable.  A gain of $1,348 was recognized on this transaction.


In connection with the issuance of the Company’s 12% convertible notes during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 4,668,845 shares of its common stock, with a relative fair value of $94,503, to the holders of the notes (note 3).


In connection with the issuance of the Company’s 10% senior convertible notes during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 638,468 shares of its common stock, with a relative fair value of $82,641, to the holders of the notes (note 3).


As at August 18, 2011, the Company has 118,067,833 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding; an additional 211,463,020 common shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and the conversion of outstanding 10% senior convertible notes, 12% convertible notes and convertible promissory notes.  Common shares issued and issuable therefore exceed the 300,000,000 shares authorized for issuance by 29,530,853.


Additionally, the Company is required, under the terms of the convertible promissory notes, to reserve a minimum of 17,241,379 common shares for conversion of the notes, commencing August 15, 2011, and a further 9,888,438 common shares commencing October 24, 2011.  


The Company’s officer and director, and a company controlled by the officer and director are entitled to receive an aggregate of 22,196,167 of common shares on the exercise of options and conversion of convertible notes held.  The officer and director has agreed to forego this entitlement until such time as the authorized capital of the Company has been increased to an amount sufficient to eliminate any potential deficiency in the authorized capital.

10.  Related party transactions


Included in 10% senior convertible notes payable (note 3) is $611,887 (December 31, 2010 – $611,887) payable to a director and to a company controlled by a director, and $39,632 (December 31, 2010 – $39,632) payable to an individual related to a director and a company controlled by an individual related to a director.  


Included in promissory notes payable (note 2) is $87,261 (December 31, 2010 - $90,754) payable to the director and to a company controlled by a director.


$121,769 (December 31 – $84,698) in accrued interest charges relating to the 10% senior convertible notes and promissory notes is included in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2011.  $19,008 (2010 - $12,972) and $37,837 (2010: 30,500) is included in interest and financing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.


11.  Contingent liabilities


Effective March 1, 2011, the Company entered into a contract for consulting services, pursuant to which part of the remuneration is contingent upon the Company achieving certain funding goals, whereupon the contingent amount will become immediately due and payable.  As of June 30, 2011, the accumulated contingent liability under this arrangement was $12,000.  


On or around August 3, 2010, an agent of the Company was served notice of the commencement of legal action against the Company by a former consultant of the Company.  The plaintiff is seeking approximately $171,900 in unpaid fees relating to a service contract entered into by the Company and the consultant in January of 2007, plus legal and other costs.  The Company has retained legal counsel in order to contest this action, and to make a counter claim against the plaintiff, as it is the opinion of management that the work agreed to under the terms of the contract was not delivered by the consultant and that furthermore, the non-performance resulted in the Company not being able to deliver its product to potential customers at the time.


Neither the amount nor the likelihood of any liability that may arise as a result of this action is determinable at this time; accordingly, no amount in respect of this claim has been reflected in the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011.


As described in note 7, the Company’s common shares issued and issuable exceed shares authorized for issuance by 29,530,853.  In order to partially mitigate this situation, an officer and director of the Company has agreed to forego his entitlement to receive 22,196,167 common shares of the Company on the exercise of options and conversion of convertible notes held, until such time as the authorized capital of the Company has been increased to an amount sufficient to eliminate any potential deficiency in the authorized capital.  At June 30, 2011, the exercise price of the outstanding options, and the conversion price of the 10% senior convertible notes and the 12% convertible notes exceeded the market value of the Company’s common stock; as such, the estimated contingent liability  associated with the deficiency in authorized capital related to these instruments was $nil.  The conversion price relating to the convertible promissory notes was below the market value of the Company’s common shares at June 30 2011; the estimated contingent liability associated with the 7,331,445 shares issuable on conversion of the convertible promissory notes plus accrued interest thereon at June 30, 2011 was $72,498.

13.  Fair value measurements


The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short term to maturity of these instruments.  The carrying value of the 10% senior convertible, 12% convertible, promissory, and convertible promissory notes approximate fair value, due to the issuance of new debt instruments having similar terms and conditions subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2011.  The fair value of the obligation under capital lease at June 30, 2011 was approximately $4,128, based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at market rates, as of the balance sheet date.



14.  Recent accounting pronouncements


Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


15. Subsequent event


On August 16, 2011, the Company issued $30,000 of its 10% convertible notes for cash  The note permits the holder, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the Company at a ratio of one common share for each $0.03 of debt converted; the Company may pre-pay all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the note at any time without penalty or bonus, with permission from the holder; the note matures on December 31 2012; interest will accrue at the rate of 10% until the notes are either repaid by the Company or converted by the holder.  At the Company’s option, interest may be settled either in cash or in common shares of the Company.  If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be calculated at the rate of conversion in effect for the note principal.  


Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined there are no other subsequent events to be reported.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION


We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that we make in this report.  For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.”  These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” or similar terms.  These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to many things, some of which are:


·

trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations for our limited history;

·

our business and growth strategies;

·

our technology;

·

the Internet; and

·

our financing plans.


We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties.  In fact, actual results most likely will differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Some factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include:


·

our limited operating history;

·

our lack of sales to date;

·

our requirements for additional capital and operational funding;

·

the failure of our technology and products to perform as specified;

·

the discontinuance of growth in the use of the Internet;

·

the enactment of new adverse government regulations; and

·

the development of better technology and products by others.


You should carefully consider and evaluate all of these factors.  In addition, we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements after we file this report with the SEC, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The preparation of 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 related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the financial statements are described in note 2 to our 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other relevant factors.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.  The following critical accounting policies are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in preparation of our June 30, 2011 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.


Research and development expenses:


We expense all of our research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred.  At such time as our product is determined to be commercially available, we will capitalize those development expenditures that are related to the maintenance of the commercial products, and amortize these capitalized expenditures over the estimated life of the commercial product.  The estimated life of the commercial product will be based on management’s estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions.  A significant change to these assumptions could impact the estimated useful life of our commercial product resulting in a change to amortization expense and impairment charges.










14




Stock based compensation:


The Company accounts for its stock-based payments in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires all share-based payments, including stock options granted by the Company to its employees, to be recognized as expenses, based on the fair value of the share-based payments at the date of grant.  For purposes of estimating the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black Scholes option-pricing model, and has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award.  The fair value of awards granted is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which in the Company’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.


Financial instruments


We have issued convertible notes and convertible notes with common shares.  The fair value of the convertible notes is required to be estimated as well as the fair value of the convertible notes issued with common shares.  There are significant assumptions and management estimates used in determining these amounts.  A significant change to these assumptions could result in a significant change to the fair value of the convertible notes.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010


Revenue:We had no revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011, nor during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Since August 1999 we have directed all of our attention towards the completion, and sales and marketing of our software applications.  We believe that if we are successful in our development and sales and marketing efforts, we will generate a source of revenue in the future from sales and/or licensing of our software applications.


Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional fees, communication expenses, occupancy costs and other miscellaneous costs associated with supporting our research and development, sales and marketing and investor relations activities.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a total of $134,562, as compared to $148,962, during the three months ended June 30, 2011.  There was an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $14,400 (10%) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.


The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense occurred primarily as a result of reduced expenditure for audit and related fees, which was partially offset by an increase in legal fees incurred as a result of our defense against a claim brought by a former consultant of the Company.  


We have made efforts to minimize selling, general and administrative expenses wherever possible, through measures such as reducing the number of personnel, postponing our Annual General Meeting, reducing the number of trade shows in which we participate, reducing travel costs, delaying production of new promotional material, and reducing our occupancy costs.  We will continue to carefully monitor our selling, general and administrative expenses as we work within current budgetary limits leading up to the full commercial release of our products.


Research and development expenses:  Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs directly associated with the development of our software applications.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a total of $24,063, as compared to $29,839 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 on research and development activities.There was an overall decrease in research and development expenses of $5,776 (19%) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.


The decrease in research and development expenses is due primarily to a reduction in fees paid to consultants for development work during the period, as we focused on achieving several specific development initiatives, and on evaluating and testing the results of development work undertaken during the preceding period.  This involved fewer resources than we used during the three months ended June 30, 2010, during which time we required the services of one additional software developer in order to meet the testing and evaluation targets set for that period.


Interest and financing costs:  Interest and financing costs during the three months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes, our 12% convertible notes, our convertible promissory notes, and interest on the capital lease.  Interest and financing costs during the three months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes and interest on the capital lease.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $287,724 in interest and financing costs, an increase of $123,649 (75%) over the $164,075 in interest and financing costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The $287,724 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $168,847 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $50,641 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes; $60,027 of accretion on our 12% convertible notes; $7,539 of accretion of our convertible promissory notes; $584 of amortized deferred finance fees relating to the 12% convertible notes; and $86 in interest on the capital lease.  The $164,075 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 is comprised of $155,399 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $8,022 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes; $500 in finance fees relating to the issuance of new notes during the period; and $154 in interest on the capital lease.


We failed to settle certain of our promissory notes and 10% senior convertible notes, and accrued interest thereon, when they became due on various dates between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010, and a significant portion of these notes remain in default as at June 30, 2011.  In accordance with the default provision of the 10% senior convertible notes, and certain of the promissory notes, this has resulted in all of these notes becoming due and payable on demand as of the date of the default, or in the case of notes issued subsequent to the default, on the date of issuance, notwithstanding any differing stated maturity date.  Consequently, the accretion relating to the equity components of either of these instruments issued since the initial event of default, and the amortization of any finance charges incurred thereon, has occurred in the period of issuance.   


As a result of the above, the accretion and finance charge components of interest and financing costs relating to the 10% senior convertible notes and to promissory notes issued with common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and for the three months ended June 30, 2010 relate only to notes issued during these periods. The fair value of the equity components relating to these classes of notes issued during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was greater than the fair value of equity components relating to similar notes issued during the three months ended June 30, 2010, which resulted in an increase of $42,619 (531%) in accretion related to these classes of notes.


There is no comparable expense for the $60,027 of accretion on our 12% convertible notes, the $7,539 of accretion of our convertible promissory notes, nor the $584 of amortized deferred finance fees relating to the 12% convertible notes, as we issued these classes of notes for the first time during the period ended June 30, 2011.


Interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt increased by $13,448 (9%), as a result of a net increase of $146,817 in principal outstanding on our interest-bearing debt during the period from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.


Foreign exchange gain (loss):  Foreign exchange gain (loss) is comprised of realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translations, the majority of which relate to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and obligations under our promissory notes, denominated in Canadian dollars.  During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Canadian dollar gained strength in relation to the United States dollar, resulting in overall losses on foreign currency translations of $310.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Canadian dollar lost strength in relation to the United States dollar, resulting in overall gains on foreign currency translations of $26,256.  


Net loss: We incurred a loss of $443,576 (rounded to $0.00 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loss of $317,861 (rounded to $0.00 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:


·

raise additional capital to fund operations;

·

license software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

·

be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

·

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-existing users; and

·

successfully develop related software applications.





The Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010


Revenue:  We had no revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011, nor during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Since August 1999 we have directed all of our attention towards the completion, and sales and marketing of our software applications.  We believe that if we are successful in our development and sales and marketing efforts, we will generate a source of revenue in the future from sales and/or licensing of our software applications.








16




Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional fees, communication expenses, occupancy costs and other miscellaneous costs associated with supporting our research and development, sales and marketing and investor relations activities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a total of $275,073, as compared to $253,452, during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  There was an overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $21,621 (9%) during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.


The increase in selling, general and administrative expense occurred primarily as a result of increased legal fees incurred as a result of our defense against a claim brought by a former consultant of the Company, and additional fees paid to an investor relations consultant, including $15,000 with respect to the issuance of 500,000 common shares as incentive for the consultant to enter into a contract with the Company; these increases were partially offset by reduced expenditure for audit and related fees


We have made efforts to minimize selling, general and administrative expenses wherever possible, through measures such as reducing the number of personnel, postponing our Annual General Meeting, reducing the number of trade shows in which we participate, reducing travel costs, delaying production of new promotional material, and reducing our occupancy costs.  We will continue to carefully monitor our selling, general and administrative expenses as we work within current budgetary limits leading up to the full commercial release of our products.


Research and development expenses:  Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs directly associated with the development of our software applications.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a total of $42,951, as compared to $83,411 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 on research and development activities.  There was an overall decrease in research and development expenses of $40,460 (49%) during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.


The decrease in research and development expenses is due primarily to a reduction in fees paid to consultants for development work during the period.  This decrease occurred as a result of additional development activities undertaken during the first three months of 2010, during which time we ramped up our development efforts in preparation for installations of our products under evaluation licences.   This effort involved more resources than we used during the six months ended June 30, 2011, during which time we focused on achieving several specific development initiatives, and on evaluating and testing the results of development work undertaken during the preceding period


Interest and financing costs:  Interest and financing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes, our 12% convertible notes, our convertible promissory notes, and interest on the capital lease.  Interest and financing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes and interest on the capital lease.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred $535,309 in interest and financing costs, an increase of $187,148 (54%) over the $348,161 in interest and financing costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  


The $535,309 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is comprised of $331,301 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $ of 64,641 of our 10% senior convertible notes; $127,614 of accretion on our 12% convertible notes; $10,782 of accretion of our convertible promissory notes; $787 of amortized deferred finance fees relating to the 12% convertible notes; and $184 in interest on the capital lease.  The $348,161 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is comprised of $306,726 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $40,524 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes; $597 in finance fees relating to the issuance of new notes during the period; and $314 in interest on the capital lease.


We failed to settle certain of our promissory notes and 10% senior convertible notes, and accrued interest thereon, when they became due on various dates between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010, and a significant portion of these notes remain in default as at June 30, 2011.  In accordance with the default provision of the 10% senior convertible notes, and certain of the promissory notes, this has resulted in all of these notes becoming due and payable on demand as of the date of the default, or in the case of notes issued subsequent to the default, on the date of issuance, notwithstanding any differing stated maturity date.  Consequently, the accretion relating to the equity components of either of these instruments issued since the initial event of default, and the amortization of any finance charges incurred thereon, has occurred in the period of issuance.   


As a result of the above, the accretion and finance charge components of interest and financing costs relating to the 10% senior convertible notes and to promissory notes issued with common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 relate only to notes issued during these periods. The fair value of the equity components relating to these classes of notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was greater than the fair value of equity components relating to similar notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2010, which resulted in an increase of $24,117 (56%) in accretion related to these classes of notes.




17




There is no comparable expense for the $127,614 of accretion on our 12% convertible notes, the $10,782 of accretion of our convertible promissory notes, nor the $787 of amortized deferred finance fees relating to the 12% convertible notes, as we issued these classes of notes for the first time during the period ended June 30, 2011.


Interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt increased by $24,575 (8%), as a result of a net increase of $146,817 in principal outstanding on our interest-bearing debt during the period from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.


Foreign exchange gain (loss):  Foreign exchange gain (loss) is comprised of realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translations, the majority of which relate to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and obligations under our promissory notes, denominated in Canadian dollars.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 the Canadian dollar gained strength in relation to the United States dollar, resulting in overall losses on foreign currency translations of $38,589 and $2,572, respectively.  


Net loss: We incurred a loss of $888,785 (rounded to $0.01 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loss of $690,079 (rounded to $0.01 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:


·

raise additional capital to fund operations;

·

license software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

·

be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

·

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-existing users; and

·

successfully develop related software applications.




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


General: Since inception, we have funded our operations from private placements of debt and equity securities.  In addition, until September 1999 we derived revenues from consulting contracts with affiliated parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund operations.  We have also received an aggregate of $316,650 in proceeds relating to “VAR” licensing agreements.  Until such time as we are able to generate adequate revenues from the licensing of our software applications, we cannot assure that we will be successful in raising additional capital, or that cash from the issuance of debt securities, the exercise of existing warrants and options, and the placements of additional equity securities, if any, will be sufficient to fund our long-term research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses.


Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $8,585 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, from a balance of $(1,877)at December 31, 2010, to $6,708 at June 30, 2011.  Our net loss of $888,785 during the period, and resulting cash used in operations of $123,632, were offset by an increase in cash resulting from the issuance of $10,000 of our promissory notes, $60,000 of our 10% senior convertible notes, and $67,500, net of issuance costs, of our convertible promissory notes during the period.  


We added an explanatory paragraph to our interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  It states that our economic viability is dependent on our ability to finalize the development of our principal products, generate sales and finance operational expenses, and that these factors, together with our lack of revenues to date; our negative working capital; our loss for the year, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities in the same period; and our accumulated deficit, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  At June 30, 2011, we had negative working capital of $9,522,675 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $36,237,331; for the six months then ended we had a net loss of $888,785, and negative cash flow from operations of $123,632.  Furthermore, the Company failed to settle certain of its 10% senior convertible notes and promissory notes, plus accrued interest thereon when they matured on various dates from October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010.  A substantial amount of these notes remain unpaid as of June 30, 2011.  All of the 10% senior convertible notes, as well as $36,250 of the promissory notes were in default at June 30, 2011 in accordance with the default provisions of the respective notes, and as a result are due and payable on demand.


We anticipate commercial sales during the fourth quarter of 2011, however we cannot be assured that this will be the case.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not retain any new personnel.  During the next six months we expect to engage one officer and director; we do not expect to hire additional personnel unless we are successful in raising significant funds through the issuance of our debt or equity securities.  We do not expect to make any material commitments for capital equipment expenditures during the next twelve months.




18



We have an immediate requirement for additional working capital in order to proceed with our business plan.  We review our cash needs and sources on a month-to-month basis and we are currently pursuing appropriate opportunities to raise additional capital to fund operations.  Additional sources of capital could involve issuing equity or debt securities.  We have engaged consultants to provide advice to us with respect to the raising of capital.  However, additional funding may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all.  The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares of our common stock could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline.  In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated issuance of stock could cause some institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may itself cause the price of our stock to decline.  We may be unable to raise additional capital if our stock price is too low.  A sustained inability to raise capital could force us to limit or curtail our operations.


We expect the level of our future operating expenses to be driven by the needs of our research and development and marketing programs, offset by the availability of funds.  In addition, we have since inception taken steps to keep our expenses relatively low and conserve available cash until we begin generating sufficient operating cash flow.


Sources of Capital: Our principal sources of capital for funding our business activities have been the private placements of debt and equity securities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we issued $10,000 of our promissory notes, $60,000 of 10% senior convertible notes, and $67,500, net of issuance costs, of convertible promissory notes, which generated cash to fund operations.  During this period, we also issued $466,884 of our 12% convertible notes in settlement of $411,115 previously issued 10% senior convertible notes which matured on December 31, 2010, plus accrued interest thereon; $303,847 of our 10% senior convertible notes in settlement of $289,658 12% convertible notes plus accrued interest thereon; 2,439,816 shares of our common stock in settlement of $66,031 10% senior convertible notes and $7,164 in accrued interest thereon; and 266,666 shares of our common stock in settlement of accounts payable, which reduced the cash which would otherwise have been required to settle these liabilities.  We also issued 500,000 shares of our common stock as a signing bonus for a consultant entering into a contract with the Company, which also reduced the amount of cash which would otherwise have been required for the related consulting services.


As at August 18, 2011, the Company has 118,067,833 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding; an additional 222,463,020 common shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and the conversion of outstanding 10% senior convertible notes, 12% convertible notes and convertible promissory notes.  Common shares issued and issuable therefore exceed the 300,000,000 shares authorized for issuance by 29,530,853.


Additionally, the Company is required, under the terms of the convertible promissory notes, to reserve a minimum of 17,241,379 common shares for conversion of the notes, commencing August 15, 2011, and a further 9,888,438 common shares commencing October 24, 2011.  


The Company’s officer and director, and a company controlled by the officer and director are entitled to receive an aggregate of 22,196,167 of common shares on the exercise of options and conversion of convertible notes held.  The officer and director has agreed to forego this entitlement until such time as the authorized capital of the Company has been increased to an amount sufficient to eliminate any potential deficiency in the authorized capital.


Uses of Capital:  Over the past several years, we have scaled our development activities to the level of available cash resources.  Our plans with respect to future staffing will be dependant upon our ability to raise additional capital.  We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements which would have resulted in our use of capital.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


N/A



ITEMS 4 AND 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting


At December 31, 2010, management of the Company provided a report on internal controls over financial reporting.  Reference should be made to our annual report on Form 10-K for that report, wherein we reported that management’s assessment at December 31, 2010 was that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  


In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, our management identified the existence of certain significant internal control deficiencies that they considered to be material weaknesses.  In particular, the following weaknesses in our internal control system were identified at December 31, 2010:  (1) a lack of segregation of duties; (2) the lack of timely preparation of certain back up schedules; (3) finance staff’s lack of sufficient technical accounting knowledge; (4) a lack of independent Board oversight; and (5) signing authority with respect to corporate bank accounts.  A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level of risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We considered these matters in connection with the period-end closing of accounts and preparation of the related consolidated financial statements and determined that no prior period financial statements were materially affected by such matters.


Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources at this time to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system.  We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing within the Company.


We were unable to eliminate the identified weaknesses with respect to the period covered by this report.  Set forth below is a discussion of the significant internal control deficiencies which have not been remediated.


Lack of segregation of duties.  Since commencing the development phase of our operations in August 1999, our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system.  Since the departure of our Chief Financial officer and the office administrator in 2008, our controller has been the only person involved in the data entry function.  While our Chief Executive Officer has assumed the role of the Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis, we nonetheless are inadequately staffed at this time to ensure a sufficient level of segregation of duties.  As a result, this significant internal control deficiency had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report, nor do we know if we will be able to remediate this weakness in the foreseeable future.  However, we will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.


Lack of timely preparation of back up schedules.  Throughout 2010, we were able to complete most of our back up schedules in a timely manner, however, during this time we consistently experienced a lack of complete preparedness at the time our external independent accountants commenced their field work on a quarterly basis.  As such, we believe that this material weakness had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Inasmuch as this deficiency is related to our lack of adequate staffing, which is a condition which our size prohibits us from remediating, we do not know if we will be able to remediate this weakness in the foreseeable future.  We will continue to review our interim procedures, and to make changes wherever practicable to assist in remediating this deficiency.


Finance staff’s lack of sufficient technical accounting knowledge.  Due to the limited number of personnel, our finance staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge to address all complex and non-routine accounting transactions that may arise.  These transactions are sometimes extremely technical in nature and require an in-depth understanding of generally accepted accounting principles.  As a result of this pervasive deficiency, these types of transactions may not be recorded correctly, potentially resulting in material misstatements of the financial statements of the Company.  To address this risk, the Company has a control whereby it consults with its auditors and advisors, as needed, in conjunction with the recording and reporting of complex and non-routine accounting transactions.  Management has concluded that this control was not operating effectively during the preceding year, as the Company did not consult with external advisors on certain complex and non-routine transactions and on certain of these transactions, errors were identified by our auditors.  All material misstatements detected by the audit have been corrected by the Company.  Any changes in the staff complement will be dependant upon the growth of our operations and the number of our staff to allow further technical accounting knowledge to address all complex and non-routine accounting transactions.  Management will continue to review existing consultation controls and, if appropriate, implement changes to its current internal control processes whereby more effective consultation will be performed.




20



Lack of independent Board oversight.  Our Board of Directors consists of only one individual who is also the Company’s sole signing officer. We have experienced difficulties in identifying suitable candidates to serve as independent Board members because of our size, the perceived additional liability to the public by prospective candidates and the excessive additional costs associated with the selection of a candidate including director fees and director liability insurance.  As such, our Board lacks the controls, depth of knowledge and perspective that such independence would provide.  


Signing authority with respect to corporate bank accounts.  Since the departure of our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in July 2008, the positions of Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer have been held by one person.  This individual has sole signing authority for the Company’s bank accounts.  Our Controller monitors our bank accounts on a regular basis, however there can be no assurance that unauthorized or unsupported transactions will not occur.


If we are unable to remediate the identified material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


On or around August 3, 2010, an agent of the Company was served notice of the commencement of legal action against the Company by a former consultant of the Company.  The plaintiff is seeking approximately $171,900 in unpaid fees relating to a service contract entered into by the Company and the consultant in January of 2007, plus legal and other costs.  The Company has retained legal counsel in order to contest this action, and to make a counter claim against the plaintiff, as it is the opinion of management that the work agreed to under the terms of the contract was not delivered by the consultant and that furthermore, the non-performance resulted in the Company not being able to deliver its product to potential customers at the time.


Neither the amount nor the likelihood of any liability that may arise as a result of this action is determinable at this time; accordingly, no amount in respect of this claim has been reflected in the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011.


Item 1a.  Risk Factors


In addition to other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. to Part 1” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  There were no material changes to these risk factors during the three months ended June 30, 2011.


Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


None


Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities


We failed to settle certain of our 10% senior convertible notes and our promissory notes, plus accrued interest thereon when they matured on various dates between October 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010.  A significant amount of these notes remained unpaid as of June 30, 2011, and were therefore in default and due and payable on demand.  Additionally, in accordance with the default provisions of the notes, this failure to settle the matured notes resulted in the remaining 10% senior convertible notes and accrued interest thereon becoming also due and payable on demand.  Notwithstanding our obligation to repay these amounts immediately, the note holders have verbally communicated to management their willingness to continue holding the notes until new terms are negotiated.  We will accrue interest on these unpaid balances at the coupon rate until a settlement is reached.


Until such time as the matured notes plus accrued interest thereon are settled, all of the 10% senior convertible notes, and $36,250 of the promissory notes will remain in default.
