THINKPATH INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT MARCH 31, 2003
(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 March 31, 2003,
the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,929,074, a deficit of
$35,621,666 and has suffered recurring losses from operations.
With insufficient working capital from operations, the Company's primary
sources of cash are a receivable discount facility with Morrison
Financial Services Limited and proceeds from the sale of equity
securities. At March 31, 2003, the balance on the receivable discount
facility was approximately $1,300,000. The company is currently within
margin of its receivable discount facility with Morrison Financial
Services Limited based on 75% of qualifying accounts receivable.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the company closed $875,000
in convertible debentures pursuant to a financing arrangement entered
into on December 5, 2002. The funds were used for various debt
settlements and critical payables.
As at May 16, 2003, management's plans to mitigate and alleviate these
adverse conditions and events include:
a) Commitment from investors for additional convertible
debentures of up to $200,000 to be used for working capital.
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 payments to certain
vendors and interest payments on debt.
b) Ongoing restructuring of debt obligations and settlement of
outstanding claims.
c) Focus on growth in the engineering division, including
design services and technical publications and expansion of
the engineering service offerings to Ontario, Canada to
replace existing lower margin information staffing services.
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 receivable discounting facility with Morrison Financial
Services Limited, 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, and the closing of new
financing, all of which are subject to substantial uncertainties. Cash
flows from operations for the next twelve months will be dependent, among
other factors, 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 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 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 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 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 consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT MARCH 31, 2003
(AMOUNTS EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)
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 wholly-owned 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.), provides engineering, design, technical
publications and staffing, services to enhance the resource performance
of clients. In addition, the company owns the following companies which
are currently inactive: Systemsearch Consulting Services Inc.,
International Career Specialists Ltd., Microtech Professionals Inc.,
E-Wink Inc. (80%), Thinkpath Training Inc. (formerly ObjectArts Inc.),
Thinkpath Training US Inc. (formerly ObjectArts US Inc.) and TidalBeach
Inc. In 2002, the company sold Njoyn Software Incorporated, a
wholly-owned subsidiary.
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 from and 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.
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) Property and Equipment
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 property and equipment 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) Prior to the sale of the training division (Note 18), the company
provided advanced training and certification in a variety of technologies
and revenue was recognized on delivery.
5) Prior to the sale of the technology division (Note 18), the company
licensed software in the form of a Human Capital Management System called
Njoyn. The revenue associated with providing this software consisted 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 was based on the company's determination of the fair value of
the elements if they had been sold separately. The customers had the
right to choose a provider to host the software which was unrelated to
the company. The set-up fee and customization revenue was recognized upon
delivery of access to the software with customization completed in
accordance with milestones determined by the contract.
Revenue was 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 required significant customization, without clearly
defined milestones, and an inability to estimate costs, revenue was
reflected on a completed contract basis. Substantial completion was
determined based on customer acceptance of the software.
6) Prior to the sale of the technology division (Note 18), the company
also signed contracts for the customization or development of SecondWave,
a web development software in accordance with specifications of its
clients. The project plan defined milestones to be accomplished and the
costs associated. These amounts were billed as they were accomplished and
revenue was recognized as the milestones were reached. The work in
progress for costs incurred beyond the last accomplished milestone was
reflected at the period end. The contracts did not include any
post-contract customer support. Additional customer support services were
provided at standard daily rates, as services are required.

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.
Thinkpath completed SFAS No.142 transitional impairment test during the
third quarter of 2002 and concluded that there was no impairment of
recorded goodwill, as the fair value of its reporting units exceeded
their carrying amount as of January 1, 2002. Therefore, the second part
of the transitional test was not required to be performed.
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.
F-9
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, 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 introduced 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,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Njoyn Software Incorporated. The
company records these costs as research and development expenses until
the technological feasibility of the product has been established at
which time the costs are deferred. At the end of each year, the company
compares the unamortized 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. The software developed for
own use which may be sold as a separate product is the Njoyn software and
during development, the company decided to market the software and
therefore for 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. On March 8, 2002, Thinkpath sold all of its shares in
Njoyn Software Incorporated.
t) Investments in Non-Related Companies
The company records its investments in companies in which it holds a 20%
or more interest and in which the company can exercise significant
influence over the investee's operating and financial policies on the
equity basis.
The company records its investment in companies in which it holds less
than 20% interest or in which the company has a 20% or greater interest
but the company is unable to exercise significant influence at fair
market value. Changes in fair market value are adjusted in comprehensive
income, unless the impairments are of a permanent nature, in which case
the adjustments are recorded in earnings.

u) Recent Pronouncements
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which, among other factors,
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. The new standard is effective for
companies with fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. However, the
company has elected to adopt the standard as the debt restructuring gain
in the current period, as permitted by SFAS No. 145.
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)". The company 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.
In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock
-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosures. This statement provides
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
In addition, this statement also amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and frequent disclosures in the
financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The
transitional guidance and annual disclosure provisions of this Statement
is effective for the December 31, 2002 financial statements. The interim
reporting disclosure requirements is effective for the March 31, 2003
financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("Interpretation"). This
Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirement for most
guarantees including loan guarantees, and clarifies that at the time a
company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial
liability for the fair market value of the obligations it assumes under
that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and
annual financial statements. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of the Interpretation apply on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,"
which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable
interest entities. In general, a variable interest entity is a
corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for
business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with
voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient
financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A variable
interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or
receivables, real estate or other property. A variable interest entity
may be essentially passive or it may engage in research and development
or other activities on behalf of another company. The objective of
Interpretation No. 46 is not to restrict the use of variable interest
entities but to improve financial reporting by companies involved with
variable interest entities. Until now, a company generally has included
another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it
controlled the entity through voting interests. Interpretation No. 46
changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated
by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss
from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements of Interpretation No. 46 apply immediately to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation
requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure
requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31,
2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established.
The Company does not have any variable interest entities, and,
accordingly, adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". The Statement amends and clarifies accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement 133. The
amendments set forth in Statement 149 improve financial reporting by
requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for
similarly. In particular, this Statement clarifies under what
circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the
characteristic of a derivative as discussed in Statement 133. In
addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component
that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. This
Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June
30, 2003 with certain exceptions. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of Statement No. 149 will have a material effect on the Company.

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.
Effective February 26, 2003, the common shares of Conexys were
temporarily suspended from trading on the Bermuda Stock Exchange as it
does not have adequate sources of funding for its immediate operating
requirements and is currently investigating various options to retain and
maximize shareholder value including the restructuring of its debt and
refinancing of the company.
At December 31, 2002, the company wrote down its investment by $667,510
to a carrying value of $1. The write down was considered a permanent
decline in value and as such was recorded as a charge to operations.
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 was adjusted to $346,415 with a
charge of $161,450 to comprehensive income. During 2002, the fair value
was adjusted to $45,668 with a charge of $300,747 to comprehensive
income.
iii) Lifelogix
During 2000, the company acquired a twenty percent interest in LifeLogix
in consideration of the source code for Secondwave, the software which
supports LifeLogix's human stress and emotions management systems. The
value of these shares is approximately $142,715. This investment has been
accounted for on the cost basis as the company does not have the ability
to exercise significant influence over LifeLogix as the majority
ownership of the investee is concentrated among a small group of
shareholders who operate Lifelogix without regard to the views of the
company and the company has been unable to obtain quarterly information.
This investment was written off in 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the company acquired an interest
of $130,242 in Tillyard Management Inc., a property management company,
in consideration of a real estate management software system developed by
Thinkpath Inc. This investment has been accounted for using the cost
method. Tillyard was formed to utilize and market the real estate
management software. The value of the investment was established based
upon the capitalization for the investee and our share of that
capitalization. As sufficient funding and interest was not forthcoming,
the operations of Tillyard were abandoned and the Company wrote down its
investment at December 31, 2001.
7. GOODWILL
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the value of assets acquired over
liabilities assumed in the purchase of the subsidiaries. Goodwill has

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires the Company to evaluate
the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets based on assumptions
and estimates of fair value and future cash flow information. These
assumptions reflect management's best estimates and may differ from
actual results. If different assumptions and estimates are used, carrying
values could be adversely impacted, resulting in write downs that could
adversely affect the Company's earnings.
During the third quarter of 2002, the company completed its transitional
goodwill impairment test as of January 1, 2002 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.
During the fourth quarter, the IT recruitment unit experienced further
decline, indicating impairment. The fair value of the unit was estimated
using the expected present value of future cash flows. At December 31,
2002, a further goodwill impairment loss of $87,489 was recognized.
The Technical Publications and Engineering unit was tested for impairment
in the fourth quarter, as operating profits, cash flows and forecasts
were lower than expected. At December 31, 2002, a goodwill impairment
loss of $1,234,962 was recognized. 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) March 31, 2003
At March 31, 2003, the company had $1,300,000 outstanding with Morrison
Financial Services Limited under a receivable discount facility which
allows the company to borrow up to 75% of the value of qualified accounts
receivables.
ii) December 31, 2002
On December 5, 2002, Bank One's security and indebtedness were purchased
by Morrison Financial Services Limited. Bank One accepted a $1,100,000
discount on the payoff of its debt. On July 1, 2002 the company entered
into a Forbearance and Modification Agreement with Bank One which was
subsequently amended on August 1, 2002, August 15, 2002, September 1,
2002, September 16, 2002, September 30, 2002, October 15, 2002, November
15, 2002, and November 30, 2002. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Bank was entitled to forbearance fees and payment of related legal fees
and expenses. The Bank charged the company approximately $250,000 in
forbearance fees and $18,000 in legal fees.
Morrison Financial Services Limited charged the company a 15% fee or
$165,000 for the discount negotiation with Bank One. The discount amount
of $1,100,000 was recognized by the company as debt forgiveness and the
fee of $165,000 was netted against this amount for total debt forgiveness
of $935,000.
iii) 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 did not have an authorized overdraft facility with
Bank One, however the bank 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 the company's
credit line facility, Bank One restricted the company's repayment of
certain subordinated loans and notes payable which affected payments to
the Business Development Bank of Canada, Roger Walters and Denise
Dunne-Fushi.

to $3,000,000. The first debenture of $800,000 was purchased together

12. NOTES PAYABLE
a) On August 1, 2002, the company restructured its note payable to Roger
Walters, reducing the principal from $675,000 to $240,000 in
consideration of the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock.
The company agreed to issue and register the shares upon obtaining
shareholder approval of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation
increasing its authorized capital stock. Principal payments of $4,000
will be made monthly and started September 1, 2002 until August 1, 2007.
This loan is non-interest bearing.
Also as part of the restructuring, the company agreed to price protection
on the 1,756,655 shares that were issued to Mr. Walters in January 2002.
In the event that the bid price is less than $.27 per share when Mr.
Walters seeks to sell his shares in an open market transaction, the
Company will be obligated to issue additional shares of unregistered
common stock with a value equal to the difference between $.27 per share
and the closing bid price to a floor of $.14 per share.
The company has accounted for its modification in the terms of its notes
payable as troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the company has
recognized a gain on the restructuring of the old debt based upon the
difference between the total carrying value of the original debt (with
any accrued interest) and the total future cash flows of the restructured
debt. The gain on the restructured debt, included in expenses in the
consolidated statement of operations is as follows:

Interest (payable through maturity) --
----------
Gain on restructured debt $ 187,142
==========
All future cash payments under the modified terms will be accounted for
as reductions of note payable and no interest expense will be recognized
for any period between the closing date and the maturity date.
The loan is subordinated to Morrison Financial Services Limited and the
12% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture holders. The company has not
made any principal payments to Mr. Walters since December 2002 and is
currently in default of the loan agreement. In the event that the company
defaults on payment, the principal balance will bear interest at 12% per
annum until payment is made.
b) On August 1, 2002, the company restructured its note payable to
Denise Dunne-Fushi, reducing the principal from $1,740,536 to $600,000 in
consideration of the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock. In
addition a prior debt conversion of $225,000 that was to be paid in
capital was forgiven. The company agreed to issue and register the shares
upon obtaining shareholder approval of an amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation increasing its authorized capital stock. Principal payments
of $10,000 per month will begin November 1, 2002 bearing 5% interest
until October 1, 2007. In addition, the company agreed to cover the

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

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

At the end of December 31, 2000 the Company had a restructuring reserve
balance of $571,339 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, have been terminated
during March 2001 and April 2001. During the three months ended September
2001, the lease cancellation costs for London have been reduced by
$30,700 and the severance costs for London have been reduced by $56,000.
These amounts represent settlements reached with the landlord and one of
the three employees with long term contracts. The employee agreed to a
reduction in the term of the contract which resulted in a reduction of
the liability of $56,000.
In February 2001, the company started to close down one of its research
and development (R&D) Operations located in Toronto. The company
continued to terminate employees until April 2001. The premises are
subject to a long-term lease and will be utilized for corporate needs in
the future. Restructuring costs include rent for the current period for
the Toronto R&D space. The company moved its operations into this space
at the end of October 2001.

expire and severance payments, some of which are paid on a monthly basis,
are completed. Details of the restructuring costs and reserve balance is

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
$1,025,000 over the next two 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 $10,200,000 or a capital loss totaling $750,000 in the
future as a deferred tax asset as at March 31, 2003. As at the completion
of the March 31, 2003 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.

18. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective March 8, 2002, the Company sold its technology division, Njoyn
Software Incorporated to Cognicase Inc., a Canadian company. Net proceeds
after broker fees were $1,350,000 of which the company received $800,000
in cash and $550,000 worth of unrestricted common shares on closing. The
shares were sold on March 11, 2002 for value of $524,673. As part of the
transaction, Cognicase assumed all of the staff in the Company's
technology division, including the employees of TidalBeach Inc. The
company will not have future revenues from either its Njoyn or Secondwave
products and therefore the technology operations have been reported as
discontinued.
There was no technology revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003
compared to $41,567 for the same period in 2002 and $204,399 in 2001. The
operating loss for the three months ended March 31, was $2,748 in 2003,
$109,875 in 2002 and $77,410 in 2001. On disposal, Njoyn had
approximately $950,000 in assets consisting primarily of deferred
development charges and approximately $30,000 in liabilities consisting
primarily of capital lease obligations. The gain on disposal of $400,229
has been reflected in the Income (loss) from discontinued operations in
2002. No income taxes have been reflected on this disposition as the sale
of the shares gives rise to a capital loss, the benefit of which, is more
likely than not to be realized.

Thinkpath Training LLC, a New York company, for the purchase of certain
assets of the New York training division, Thinkpath Training for a
nominal amount of cash and the assumption of all prepaid training
liabilities. As part of the transaction, Thinkpath Training LLC assumed
the New York training staff, some assets and is subletting the classroom
facilities.
As a result of these two transactions, the company will not have future
revenues from its training division and therefore the operations have
been reported as discontinued.
Training revenue for the three months ended March 31, was $67,589 in
2003, $391,299 in 2002 and $1,101,826 in 2001. The operating income from
the training division for the three months ended March 31, was $27,318 in
2003, compared to a loss of $161,229 in 2002, and $89,055 in 2001.

Insurance for a business interruption claim filed in relation to losses
suffered in its New York training division as a result of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001. The payment was advanced as a loan,
without interest, repayable only in the event that the net recovery is
greater than the filed claim. The company does not expect the net
recovery, if any, to be greater than the claim amount.
24. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On November 1, 2002, the Company entered into a series of agreements with
Thinkpath Training LLC, a New York company, for the purchase of certain
assets of the New York training division, Thinkpath Training for a

liabilities. As part of the transaction, Thinkpath Training LLC assumed
the New York training staff, some assets and is subletting the classroom
facilities. The owner of Thinkpath Training LLC, is the daughter of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer. As a result of this transaction,
included in the Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2003, is an amount of
approximately $3,411 due to the Company by Thinkpath Training LLC.
25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2003, the company closed an additional $175,000
in convertible debentures together with 10,000,000 warrants. The funds
were used for various debt settlements and critical payables. The
debentures will become due twelve months from the date of issuance. The
investors will have the right to acquire up to $175,000 worth of the
Company's common stock at a price the lesser of $.0175 or 50% of the
average of the three lowest prices on three separate trading days during
the sixty-day trading period prior to conversion. The warrants are
exercisable at any time and in any amount for a period of 7 years from
the original purchase date at a purchase price of $.0175 per share. The
Company is required to pay interest to the debenture holder on the
aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal amount of the debenture
at the rate of 12% per annum, payable on each conversion date and
maturity date in cash or shares of common stock.
The proceeds received by the company were allocated between the warrants
and the debenture without warrants on a pro rata basis. Paid in capital
has been credited by the value of the warrants in the amount of $42,641.
As of May 16, 2003, the company has issued 90,951,830 shares of its

26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a) Credit Risk Management
The company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from its
customers. In order to reduce its credit risk, the company has adopted
credit policies which include the analysis of the financial position of
its customers and the regular review of their credit limits. In some
cases, the company requires bank letters of credit or subscribes to
credit insurance.
b) Concentration of Credit Risk
The company does not believe it is subject to any significant
concentration of credit risk. Cash and short-term investments are in
place with major financial institutions, North American Government, and
major corporations.
c) Interest Risk
The long-term debt bears interest rates that approximate the interest
rates of similar loans. Consequently, the long-term debt risk exposure is
minimal.
d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and
accounts payable on acquisition of subsidiary company approximates the
fair value because of the short-term maturities on these items.
The carrying amount of the long-term assets approximates the fair value
of these assets.
The fair value of the company's long-term debt is estimated on the quoted
market prices for the same or similar debt instruments. The fair value of
the long-term debt approximates the carrying value.

OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of technological solutions and services in
engineering knowledge management including design, drafting, technical
publishing, e-learning and staffing. Our customers include DOD contractors,
aerospace, automotive and financial services companies, Canadian and American
governmental entities and large multinational companies, including Lockheed
Martin, General Dynamics, General Electric, General Motors, Ford Motors, and
Hill-Rom Company.
On December 12, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued FR-60,
Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, which
encourages additional disclosure with respect to a company's critical accounting
policies, the judgments and uncertainties that affect a company's application of
those policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be
reported under different conditions and using different assumptions.
Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
GAAP. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount
of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Certain of our accounting policies and estimates have a more
significant impact on our financial statements than others, due to the magnitude
of the underlying financial statement elements.
CONSOLIDATION
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to
our investments in subsidiaries is based on the amount of control we have,
combined with our ownership level, in the underlying entity. Our consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of our parent company and our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All of our investments are accounted for on the cost
method. If we had the ability to exercise significant influence over operating
and financial policies of a company, but did not control such company, we would
account for these investments on the equity method.
Accounting for an investment as either consolidated or by the equity
method would have no impact on our net income (loss) or stockholders' equity in
any accounting period, but would impact individual income statement and balance
sheet items, as consolidation would effectively "gross up" our income statement
and balance sheet. However, if control aspects of an investment accounted for by
the cost method were different, it could result in us being required to account
for an investment by consolidation or the equity method. Under the cost method,
the investor only records its share of the investee's earnings to the extent
that it receives dividends from the investee; when the dividends received exceed
the investee's earnings subsequent to the date of the investor's investment, the
investor records a reduction in the basis of its investment. Under the cost
method, the investor does not record its share of losses of the investee.
Conversely, under either consolidation or equity method accounting, the investor
effectively records its share of the investee's net income or loss, to the
extent of its investment or its guarantees of the investee's debt.
At March 31, 2003, all of our investments in non-related companies
totaling $45,669 were accounted for using the cost method. Accounting for an
investment under either the
-2-
equity or cost method has no impact on evaluation of impairment of the
underlying investment; under either method, impairment losses are recognized
upon evidence of permanent losses of value.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which has four basic criteria
that must be met before revenue is recognized:
- - Existence of persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
- - Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
- - The seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and,
- - Collectibility is reasonably assured.
Our various revenue recognition policies are consistent with these
criteria. We have developed proprietary technology in two areas: human capital
management and Web development. Njoyn is a Web-based human capital management
system that automates and manages the hiring process. The revenue associated
with providing this software is allocated to an initial set-up fee,
customization and training fees as agreed with the customer and an ongoing
monthly per user fee. The allocation of revenue to the various elements is based
on our determination of the fair value of the elements as 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 for the training is recorded as
the services are rendered and the ongoing monthly fee is recorded each calendar
month. There is no additional fee charged to customers for hosting.
Effective March 8, 2002, we sold our technology division, Njoyn
Software Incorporated to Cognicase Inc., a Canadian company. As part of the
transaction, Cognicase assumed all of the (eight employees) staff in our
technology division. As a result of the sale to Cognicase, we will not have
future revenues from Njoyn and the operations have been reported as
discontinued.
Our other proprietary technology, SecondWave, is a Web development
product that allows companies to create, manage and automate their own dynamic,
adaptive Web sites. The software learns from each visitor's behavior and targets
his or her needs and interests with customized content and communications. We
enter into contracts for the customization or development of SecondWave in
accordance with the specifications of our customers. The project plan defines
milestones to be accomplished and the costs associated with this project. 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.
As a result of the sale of Njoyn to Cognicase Inc. and their assumption
of all of our technology staff, we will no longer have future revenues from
SecondWave Inc. and the operations have also been reported as discontinued.
Carrying Value Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Prior to January 1, 2002, our goodwill and intangible assets were
accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of. This statement required us to evaluate the carrying
value of our goodwill and intangible assets upon the presence of indicators of
impairment. Impairment losses were recorded when estimates of undiscounted
future cash flows were less than the value of the underlying asset. The
determination of future cash flows or fair value was based upon assumptions and
estimates of forecasted financial information that may differ from actual
results. If different assumptions and estimates were used, carrying values could
be adversely impacted, resulting in write downs that would adversely affect our
earnings. In addition, we amortized our goodwill balances on a straight-line
basis over 30 years. The evaluation of the useful life of goodwill required our
judgment, and had we chosen a shorter time period over which to amortize
goodwill, amortization expense would have increased, adversely impacting our
operations.
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires
us to evaluate the
-3-
carrying value of 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 write downs
that could adversely affect our earnings.
During the third quarter of 2002, we completed our 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
of 2002, 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, we
recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $57,808 in the IT recruitment unit. The
fair value of that reporting unit was estimated using the expected present value
of future cash flows.
During the fourth quarter of 2002, the IT recruitment unit experienced
further decline, indicating impairment. The fair value of the unit was estimated
using the expected present value of future cash flows. At December 31, 2002, a
further goodwill impairment loss of $87,589 was recognized.
The Technical Publications and Engineering unit was also tested for
impairment in the fourth quarter of 2002, as operating profits, cash flows and
forecasts were lower than expected. At December 31, 2002, a goodwill impairment
loss of $1,234,962 was recognized. 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, we expect to
perform a goodwill impairment test as of the end of the third quarter during the
fourth quarter of each year.
Had the standard been in effect for the three months ended March 31,
2001, our net loss would decrease by $147,368 from a loss of $490,296 to a loss
of $342,298 and our net loss per share would decrease by $0.01 from a net loss
per share of $0.04 to a net loss per share of $0.03.
The books and records of our Canadian operations are recorded in
Canadian dollars. For purposes of financial statement presentation, we convert
balance sheet data to United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at
the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated using an
average exchange rate prevailing during the relevant reporting period. There can
be no assurance that we would have been able to exchange currency on the rates
used in these calculations. We do not engage in exchange rate-hedging
transactions. A material change in exchange rates between United States and
Canadian dollars could have a material effect on our reported results.
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2002
REVENUE
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, we derived 76% of our
revenue in the United States compared to 52% for the three months ended March
31, 2002. The increase in total revenue derived from the United States is a
result of the decrease in IT recruitment sales in Canada as a result of the
termination of a contract with a major customer in December 2002 which
contributed approximately $8,200,000 in IT revenues annually.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, our primary source of
revenue was engineering services including technical publications, engineering
design and e-learning. Engineering services represented 72% of total revenue
compared to 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Revenue from
engineering services for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased by
$710,000 or 23% to $2,360,000 compared to $3,070,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. The decrease in engineering sales is a result of the reduction
of the sales force for this division.
Our engineering services include the complete planning, staffing,
development, design, implementation and testing of a project. It can also
involve enterprise-level planning and project anticipation. Our specialized
engineering services include: technical publications, design, e-learning and Web
development. We outsource our technical publications and engineering services on
both a time and materials and project basis. For project work, 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,
-4-
the costs incurred are reflected as Work in Progress. Revenue is recognized upon
the persuasive evidence of an agreement, delivery of the service, and when the
fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Customers we provide
engineering services to include General Dynamics, General Electric, General
Motors, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Caterpillar and Cummins Engines.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, IT recruitment sales
represented 24% of total revenue compared to 50% for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. Recruitment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003
decreased by $2,740,000 or 77% to $800,000 compared to $3,540,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in recruitment revenue is primarily a
result of the termination of a contract with a major customer as well as general
cutbacks and reduced hiring in the telecommunications, network and financial
services industries.
We perform permanent, contract and executive searches for IT and
engineering professionals. Most searches are performed on a contingency basis
with fees due upon candidate acceptance of permanent employment or on a
time-and-materials basis for contracts. Retained searches are also offered, and
are paid by a non-refundable portion of one fee prior to performing any
services, with the balance due upon candidates' acceptance. The revenue for
retained searches is recognized upon a candidate's acceptance of employment.
Selected recruitment customers include Fujitsu, Bank of Montreal,
Goldman Sachs, and Sprint Canada. In the case of contract services, we provide
our customers with independent contractors or "contract workers" who usually
work under the supervision of the customer's management. Generally, we enter
into a time-and-materials contract with our customer whereby the customer pays
us an agreed upon hourly rate for the contract worker. We pay the contract
worker pursuant to a separate consulting agreement. The contract worker
generally receives between 80% and 85% of the amount paid to us by the customer;
however, such payment is usually not based on any formula and may vary for
different engagements. We seek to gain "preferred supplier status" with our
larger customers to secure a larger percentage of those customers' businesses.
While such status is likely to result in increased revenue and gross profit, it
is likely to reduce gross margin percentage because we are likely to accept a
lower hourly rate from our customers and there can be no assurance that we will
be able to reduce the hourly rate paid to our consultants. In the case of
permanent placement services, we identify and provide candidates to fill
permanent positions for our customers.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, information technology
documentation services represented approximately 4% of our revenue compared to
6% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Revenue from information
technology documentation services for the three months ended March 31, 2003
decreased by $270,000 or 66% to $140,000 compared to $410,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.
The substantial decrease in revenue from information technology
documentation services is primarily due to the loss of sales personnel and the
general economic slowdown in this industry. This division offers a very
specialized service, and relied on several key customers in a very localized
market. Many of these customers have either cancelled projects or have put a
number of their projects on hold. In response to these conditions, we terminated
the staff in this division and transferred the existing contracts to another
office.
We provide outsourced information technology documentation services in
two ways: complete project management and the provision of skilled project
resources to supplement a customer's internal capabilities. Revenue is
recognized on the same basis as technical publications and engineering
outsourcing services. Selected information technology documentation services
customers include Fidelity Investments, SMD Tech Aid Corporation, CDI
Corporation, and the Gillette Company.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting all direct costs from net
revenue. The direct costs of engineering services include wages, benefits,
software training and project expenses. The average gross profit for the
engineering division was 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared
to 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in gross profit
for technical publications and engineering services is a result of the increase
in higher margin contracts in technical publications and e-learning compared to
the traditional engineering services. In addition, we are engaging in more
time-and-materials based contracts versus fixed-cost contracts which prevents
against project and costs overruns.
-5-
The direct costs of contract recruitment include contractor fees and
benefits. Gross profit for IT recruitment services for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 declined to 11% from 20% for the three months ended March 31,
2002. The decline in gross profit is a result of our focus on contract sales and
our preferred vendor status with large clients for information technology
contract recruitment services. It is often necessary to lower billing rates and
markups to be successful in the bid process. In addition, revenue from permanent
placements which has 100% gross profit has declined considerably over last year,
contributing to the decline in gross profit in this division.
The direct costs of information technology documentation services
include contractor wages, benefits, and project expenses. The average gross
profit for the information technology division for the three months ended March
31, 2003 was 20% compared to 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The
decline in gross profit in the current period is a result of the decrease in
higher margin permanent placements and increase in lower margin contract
placements of documentation specialists.
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2001
REVENUE
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, we derived 52% of our revenue
in the United States compared to 63% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
The decrease in the total revenue derived from the United States was a result of
the increase in IT Recruitment sales in Canada and the decrease in Technical
Training and IT Documentation sales in the United States.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, our primary source of
revenue was recruitment, representing 50% of total revenue compared to 46% for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. Recruitment revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 decreased $730,000 or 17% to $3,540,000 compared to
$4,270,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in
recruitment revenue is a result of cutbacks and reduced hiring in the
telecommunications, network and financial services industries. Our recruitment
division has preferred supplier agreements with AT&T, Rogers Communications,
Sprint Canada and several Canadian banks.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, 44% of our revenue came
from engineering services including technical publications, engineering design
and e-learning compared to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Revenue from engineering services for the three months ended March 31, 2002
decreased $710,000 or 19% to $3,070,000 compared to $3,780,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001.
-6-
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, information technology
documentation services represented approximately 6% of our revenue compared to
14% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Revenue from information
technology documentation services for the three months ended March 31, 2002
decreased $880,000 or 68% to $410,000 compared to $1,290,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001.
The substantial decrease in revenue from information technology
documentation services is primarily due to the loss of sales personnel and the
general economic slowdown in this industry. This division offers a very
specialized service, and relied on several key customers in a very localized
market. Many of these customers have either cancelled projects or have put a
number of their projects on hold. In response to these conditions, we have
recently expanded the marketing of our documentation services to other regions
and to existing recruitment and engineering services customers. In addition, we
have reduced our operating overheads for this division to support the current
levels of revenue.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting all direct costs from net
revenue. The direct costs of contract recruitment include contractor fees and
benefits. Gross profit for information technology recruitment services for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 declined to 20% from 28% for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The decline in gross profit is a result of becoming a
preferred vendor for information technology contract recruitment services. In
order to beat the competition, it is often necessary to lower billing rates and
markups to be successful in the bid process. We do not attribute any direct
costs to permanent placement services, therefore the gross profit on such
services is 100% of revenue. Revenue from permanent placements declined from the
prior year, and has therefore contributed to the decline in gross profit.
The direct costs of technical publications and engineering services
include wages, benefits, software training and project expenses. The average
gross profit for this division was 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2002
compared to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in gross
profit for technical publications and engineering services, is a result of the
increase in higher margin contracts in technical publications and e-learning
compared to the traditional engineering services. In addition, we are engaging
in more time and materials based contracts versus fixed cost which prevents
against project and costs overruns.
The direct costs of information technology documentation services
include contractor wages, benefits, and project expenses. The average gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was 26% compared to 56% for the
three months ended March 31, 2001. The decline in gross profit in the current
period is a result of the decrease in higher margin permanent placements and
increase in lower margin contract placements of documentation specialists.

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2002
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased
by $3,720,000 or 53%, to $3,290,000, as compared to $7,010,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily attributable to the
dramatic decline in revenues in IT recruitment division.
Cost of Sales. The cost of sales for the three months ended March 31,
2003 decreased by $2,810,000, or 53%, to $2,460,000, as compared to $5,270,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The cost of sales as a percentage of
revenue was consistent at 75% for both periods. The decrease in cost of sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is consistent with the decrease in
revenue.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2003
decreased by $910,000, or 52%, to $830,000 compared to $1,740,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was
consistent at 25% for both periods. The decrease in gross profit for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 is consistent with the decrease in revenue.
Expenses. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased
by $940,000, or 43%, to $1,230,000 compared to $2,170,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002.
Administrative expenses decreased by $240,000 or 25% to $720,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $960,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002. General administrative expenses including salaries and
rent have decreased significantly over last year as a result of restructuring
and general cost cutting. Included in administrative expenses are the costs of
$226,500 of shares of our common stock and warrants issued to various
consultants for financing services rendered during the three months ended March
31, 2003.
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased by
$640,000, or 67%, to $320,000 from $960,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2002. This decrease is attributable to the considerable downsizing in sales
staff and the decrease in commissions, as a result of the reduction in sales. In
addition, in 2003 we continued to eliminate certain advertising and promotional
expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, depreciation and amortization
expenses decreased by $70,000, or 27%, to $190,000 from $260,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.
0perating Loss from Continuing Operations. For the three months ended
March 31, 2003, losses from continuing operations decreased by $30,000 or 7% to
a loss of $400,000 as compared to a loss of $430,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002.
Interest Charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, interest
charges increased by $4,060,000, or 1846%, to $4,280,000 from $220,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase is largely attributable to the
interest expense on the beneficial conversion feature on the convertible
debentures issued in December 2002 and the first quarter 2003, in the amount of
$4,030,000.
Loss from Continuing Operations before Income Tax. Loss from continuing
operations before income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased
by $4,020,000 or 609% to a loss of $4,680,000 as compared to a loss of $660,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
2003 increased by $30,000 to an expense of $4,000 as compared to a recovery of
$26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations. Loss from continuing
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased by $4,050,000 or
643% to a loss of $4,680,000 compared to a loss of $630,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. Operations of the
technology and training divisions for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002 have been reported as discontinued.

Effective March 8, 2002, we sold our technology division, Njoyn
Software Incorporated to Cognicase Inc., a Canadian company. Net proceeds after
broker fees were $1,350,000 of which we received $800,000 in cash and $550,000
worth of unrestricted common shares on closing. The shares were sold on March
11, 2002 for value of $524,673. As part of the transaction, Cognicase assumed
all of the staff in our technology division, including the employees of
TidalBeach Inc. We will not have future revenues from either the Njoyn or
SecondWave products.
There was no technology revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2003 compared to $40,000 for the same period in 2002. The operating loss from
the technology division for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $3,000 and
$110,000 for the same period in 2002. On disposal, Njoyn had approximately
$950,000 in assets consisting primarily of deferred development charges and
approximately $30,000 in liabilities consisting primarily of capital lease
obligations. The gain on disposal of $400,229 has been reflected in the loss
from discontinued operations at March 31, 2002. No income taxes have been
reflected on this disposition as the sale of the shares gives rise to a capital
loss, the benefit of which is more likely than not to be realized.
Effective May 1, 2002, we signed an agreement with triOS Training
Centres Limited, an Ontario company, for the sale of certain assets of the
Toronto training division, Thinkpath Training for a nominal amount of cash and
the assumption of all prepaid training liabilities. As part of the transaction,
triOS assumed the Toronto training staff and is subletting the classroom
facilities.
On November 1, 2002, we entered into a series of agreements with
Thinkpath Training LLC, a New York company, for the sale of certain assets of
the New York training division, Thinkpath Training for a nominal amount of cash
and the assumption of all prepaid training liabilities. As part of the
transaction, Thinkpath Training LLC assumed the New York training staff, some
assets and is subletting the classroom facilities.
As a result of these two transactions, we will not have future
revenues from either training division. Training revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was $70,000 and $390,000 for the same period in 2002. The
operating income from the training division for the three months ended March 31,
2003 was $30,000 compared to a loss of $160,000 for the same period in 2002.
Net Loss Before Preferred Stock Dividends. Net loss before preferred
stock dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased by
$4,160,000 or 832% to a net loss of $4,660,000 compared to a net loss of
$500,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Stock. Net loss applicable to common
stock increased by $4,140,000 or 796% to $4,660,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 compared to $520,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
During the three months ended March 31, 2002 we issued preferred stock dividends
of $20,000.
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2001
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased
by $2,330,000 or 25%, to $7,010,000, as compared to $9,340,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease is attributable to the decline in
revenues in the IT recruitment, engineering services and IT documentation
divisions of 17%, 19% and 69% respectively.
Cost of Sales. The cost of sales for the three months ended March 31,
2002 decreased by $1,110,000, or 17%, to $5,270,000, as compared to $6,380,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The cost of sales as a percentage of
revenue increased from 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to 75% for
the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase is attributable to the
higher concentration of low margin IT recruitment contract sales in 2002.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2002
decreased by $1,220,000, or 41%, to $1,740,000 compared to $2,960,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2001. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit
declined from 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to 25% for the three
months ended March 31, 2002.
Expenses. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased
by $700,000, or 24%, to $2,170,000 compared to $2,870,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.
Administrative expenses increased by $20,000 or 2% to $960,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $940,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.
-10-
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased by
$480,000, or 33%, to $960,000 from $1,440,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2001. This decrease is attributable to the considerable downsizing in sales
staff and the decrease in commissions, as a result of the reduction in sales.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, depreciation and amortization
expenses decreased by $190,000, or 42%, to $260,000 from $450,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is primarily attributable to our
adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under these
statements, we are no longer required to amortize goodwill. Amortization of
goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2001 amounted to $150,000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002, there were no restructuring
charges related to the termination of personnel and the closure of
non-productive branch offices. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, our
restructuring charges were $50,000 related to the closure of our London training
office and termination of personnel.
0perating Loss from Continuing Operations. For the three months ended
March 31, 2002, losses from continuing operations increased by $530,000 to a
loss of $430,000 as compared to income of $100,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001.
Interest Charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, interest
charges were $220,000 which is consistent with the three months ended March 31,
2001.
Loss from Continuing Operations before Income Tax. Loss from continuing
operations before income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased
by $540,000 or 450% to a loss of $660,000 as compared to a loss of $120,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
2002 decreased by $230,000 to a recovery of $26,000 as compared to an expense of
$200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The expense in 2001 was a
write down of a deferred income tax asset.
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations. Loss from continuing
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased by $310,000 or
97% to a loss of $630,000 compared to a loss of $320,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations. Operations of the
technology and training divisions for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 have been reported as discontinued.
Technology revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was
$40,000 compared to $200,000 for the same period in 2001. Operating loss from
the technology division for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $110,000
compared to $80,000 for the same period in 2001. On disposal, Njoyn had
approximately $950,000 in assets consisting primarily of deferred development
charges and approximately $30,000 in liabilities consisting primarily of capital
lease obligations. The gain on disposal of $400,229 has been reflected in the
loss from discontinued operations at March 31, 2002. No income taxes have been
reflected on this disposition as the sale of the shares gives rise to a capital
loss, the benefit of which is more likely than not to be realized.
Training revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $390,000
compared to $1,100,000 for the same period in 2001. The operating loss from the
training division for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $160,000
compared to $90,000 for the same period in 2001.
Net Loss Before Preferred Stock Dividends. Net loss before preferred
stock dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased by $10,000
or 2% to a net loss of $500,000 compared to a net loss of $490,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2001.
Net Loss Applicable to Common Stock. Net loss applicable to common
stock decreased by $200,000 or 28% to $520,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002 compared to $720,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. During
the three months ended March 31, 2002 we issued preferred stock dividends of
$20,000 compared to $230,000 for the same period in 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
With insufficient working capital from operations, our primary sources
of cash are a receivable discount facility with Morrison Financial Services
Limited and proceeds from the sale of equity securities. Our primary capital
requirements include debt service and working capital needs.
Our facility with Morrison Financial Services Limited is a receivable
discount facility whereby we are able to borrow up to 75% of qualifying
receivables at 30% interest per annum. At March 31, 2003, the balance on the
receivable discount facility was approximately $1,300,000 based on 75% of
qualifying accounts receivable.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, we sold $875,000 in
convertible debentures along with 50,000,000 warrants pursuant to a financing
arrangement entered into on December 5, 2002. The debentures will become due
twelve months from the date of issuance. The investors will have the right to
acquire up to $875,000 worth of our common stock at a price the lesser of $.0175
or 50% of the average of the three lowest prices on three separate trading days
during the sixty-day trading period prior to conversion. The warrants are
exercisable at any time and in any amount for a period of seven years from
closing at a purchase price of $.0175 per share. We are required to pay interest
to the debenture holder on the aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal
amount of the debenture at the rate of 12% per annum, payable on each conversion
date and maturity date in cash or shares of common stock.
The proceeds of $875,000 were allocated between the warrants and the
debenture without warrants on a pro rata basis. Paid in capital has been
credited by the value of the warrants in the amount of $446,285. At March 31,
2003, the value of the beneficial conversion feature on all issued convertible
debentures was determined to be $3,935,684 which was credited to paid in capital
and charged to earnings as interest expense.
At March 31, 2003, we had cash of $144,000 and a working capital
deficiency of $2,930,000. At March 31, 2003, we had a cash flow from operations
of $250,000. At March 31, 2002, we had cash of 90,000 and a working capital
deficiency of $3,070,000. At March 31, 2002, we had a cash flow deficiency from
operations of $1,100,000, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in
accounts payable of $1,100,000 which was partially offset by the increase in
accounts receivable of $600,000 and a gain on the sale of our subsidiary Njoyn
of $400,000. At March 31, 2001, we had negative cash or cash equivalents and a
working capital deficiency of $2,530,000. At March 31, 2001, we had a cash flow
deficiency from operations of $280,000.
At March 31, 2003, we had no cash flow from investing activities
compared to March 31, 2002 when we had cash flow from investing activities of
1,100,000 primarily related to the proceeds on the disposal of Njoyn of
$1,320,000 which was partially offset by the purchase of capital assets of
$220,000. At March 31, 2001, we had a cash flow deficit from investing
activities of $60,000 attributable primarily to the purchase of capital assets.
At March 31, 2003 we had a cash flow deficit from financing activities
of $255,000 attributable primarily to a reduction in debt of $1,130,000 related
to the Morrison Financial receivable discount facility which was offset by
proceeds of $875,000 from the sale of convertible debentures. At March 31, 2002,
we had a cash flow deficit from financing activities of $400,000 attributable
primarily to the repayment of notes of $35,000, and long-term debt of $335,000
and reduction in bank indebtedness of $30,000. At March 31, 2001, we had cash
flow from financing activities of $690,000, attributable primarily to share
capital issue of $400,000 an increase in long-term debt of $225,000 and a
increase in bank indebtedness of $355,000 which was offset by debt repayment of
$290,000.
At March 31, 2003, we had a loan balance of $30,978 with the Business
Development Bank of Canada. The loan was assigned to us when we combined with
TidalBeach Inc. in November 2000. The loan is secured by a general security
agreement with monthly payments of $950.00 and interest at 12.5% per annum. No
principal payments have been made since January 2003.
At March 31, 2003 we had a loan balance of $259,356 with an individual,
Terry Lyons. The loan is payable in twelve monthly payments of $21,613 beginning
November 30, 2002 and bears interest at 30% per annum. This loan is subordinated
to Morrison Financial Services Limited and no principal payments have been made.
-12-
At March 31, 2003, we had approximately $133,426 outstanding on various
capital leases with various payment terms and interest rates. The average
balance on the terms of leases are 12 months and cover primarily the hardware
and various software applications required to support our engineering division.
At March 31, 2003, we had a note payable of $224,000 owed to Roger
Walters, the former shareholder of CadCam Inc. Principal payments of $4,000 per
month were to begin September 1, 2002 until August 1, 2007. This loan is
non-interest bearing.
The loan is subordinated to Morrison Financial Services Limited and the
12% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture holders. We have not made any principal
payments to Mr. Walters since December 2002 and we are currently in default of
the loan agreement. In the event that we default on payment, the principal
balance will bear interest at 12% per annum until payment is made.
At March 31, 2003, we had a note payable of $667,326 owed to Denise
Dunne-Fushi, the vendor of MicroTech Professionals Inc. Principal payments of
$10,000 per month were to begin November 1, 2002 bearing 5% interest until
October 1, 2007. In addition, we cover the monthly expense associated with Ms.
Dunne-Fushi's family health benefits until May 2004 and vehicle lease until
August 2004.
The loan is secured under a general security agreement but is
subordinated to Morrison Financial Services Limited and the 12% Senior Secured
Convertible Debenture holders. We have not made any principal payments to Ms.
Dunne-Fushi since December 2002 and are currently in default of the loan
agreement. In the event of default, Ms. Dunne-Fushi has the option of enforcing
the security she holds.
Although we believe that our current working capital and cash flows
from restructured operations will be adequate to meet our anticipated cash
requirements going forward, we have accrued liabilities and potential
settlements of outstanding claims that may require additional funds. We will
have to raise these funds through equity or debt financing. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available at all or that if
available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to us and would
not be dilutive.
Despite our recurring losses and negative working capital, we believe
that we have developed a business plan that, if successfully implemented, could
substantially improve our operational results and financial condition. However,
we can give no assurances that our current cash flows from operations, if any,
borrowings available under our receivable discount facility, and proceeds from
the sale of securities, will be adequate to fund our expected operating and
capital needs for the next twelve months. The adequacy of our cash resources
over the next twelve months is primarily dependent on our operating results and
our ability to raise additional financing, which are subject to substantial
uncertainties. Cash flow from operations for the next twelve months will depend,
among other things, upon the effect of the current economic slowdown on our
sales and management's ability to implement our business plan. The failure to
return to profitability and optimize operating cash flow in the short term, and
to successfully raise additional financing, could have a material adverse effect
on our liquidity position and capital resources which may force us to curtail
our operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which, among other
factors, 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 and 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.
-13-
In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock
- -Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosures. This statement provides
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this
statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require
more prominent and frequent disclosures in the financial statements about the
effects of stock-based compensation. The transitional guidance and annual
disclosure provisions of this Statement is effective for the December 31, 2002
financial statements. The interim reporting disclosure requirements is effective
for our March 31, 2003 financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("Interpretation"). This Interpretation
elaborates on the existing disclosure requirement for most guarantees including
loan guarantees, and clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee,
the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair market value of the
obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose that information
in its interim and annual financial statements. The initial recognition and
measurement provisions of the Interpretation apply on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which
addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.
In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or
any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not
have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not
provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities.
A variable interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or
receivables, real estate or other property. A variable interest entity may be
essentially passive or it may engage in research and development or other
activities on behalf of another company. The objective of Interpretation No. 46
is not to restrict the use of variable interest entities but to improve
financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Until
now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated
financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests.
Interpretation No. 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements of Interpretation No. 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to
entities created before January 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year or interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements
apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of
when the variable interest entity was established. We do not have any variable
interest entities, and, accordingly, adoption is not expected to have a material
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". The Statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement 133. The amendments set
forth in Statement 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts
with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. In particular, this
Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net
investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in Statement
133. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component
that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. This Statement
is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 with
certain exceptions. We do not believe that the adoption of Statement No. 149
will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
-14-
RECENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2003, we closed an additional $175,000 in
convertible debentures together with 10,000,000 warrants. The funds were used
for various debt settlements and critical payables. The debentures will become
due twelve months from the date of issuance. The investors will have the right
to acquire up to $175,000 worth of our common stock at a price the lesser of
$.0175 or 50% of the average of the three lowest prices on three separate
trading days during the sixty-day trading period prior to conversion. The
warrants are exercisable at any time and in any amount for a period of 7 years
from the original purchase date at a purchase price of $.0175 per share. We are
required to pay interest to the debenture holder on the aggregate unconverted
and outstanding principal amount of the debenture at the rate of 12% per annum,
payable on each conversion date and maturity date in cash or shares of common
stock.
The proceeds received were allocated between the warrants and the
debenture without warrants on a pro rata basis. Paid in capital has been
credited by the value of the warrants in the amount of $42,641.
As of May 19, 2003, we have issued 90,951,830 shares of our common
stock upon to the convertible debenture holders upon the conversion of $388,900
of debentures and accrued interest.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 45 days prior to the filing
date of this Form 10-Q filed for the three months ended March 31, 2003 (the
"Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that,
as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in alerting the officers on a timely basis to material information relating to
us (including our wholly owned subsidiaries) required to be included in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in our
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such
controls.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to the following pending legal proceedings:
Christopher Killarney, a former employee, filed a statement
of claim against us on June 14, 2002, with the Superior Court of Justice of
Ontario, Canada, Court File No. 02-CV-229385CMS, alleging wrongful dismissal and
breach of contract. Mr. Killarney is seeking between approximately $120,000 and
$650,000 in damages. We intend to defend this claim vigorously.
AT&T Corp. instituted an action against us in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 02 CV 3132, alleging
that we breached an agreement to pay AT&T certain monies in exchange for
Internet and web hosting services purportedly performed by AT&T. AT&T is seeking
$153,669.36 in damages, plus interest and reasonable attorneys' fees. We have
answered the complaint and vigorously dispute AT&T Corp.'s allegations.
Discovery has not yet begun, and we are endeavoring to resolve this matter
without further litigation. Should settlement discussions fail, we intend to
defend this action vigorously.
We are not party to any other material litigation, pending or
otherwise.
-15-
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the first quarter 2003, we sold convertible debentures and
warrants for an aggregate of $875,000. The debt is convertible into common stock
at a discount to the market. In connection with the offering, we issued an
aggregate of 50,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock. Pursuant to the terms
of the initial offering as reported in the Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC
on December 9, 2002, investors in that offering were granted the right to
purchase an additional $2,200,000 of convertible debt. As a result of the sales
made during the first quarter of 2003, convertible debentures and warrants for
an aggregate dollar amount of $1,325,000 remain available for purchase by the
investors as at March 31, 2003. The proceeds from the sale of convertible
debentures and warrants were used to repay debt obligations and for working
capital. The offering, which was made to non-U.S. residents only, was exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
In addition, during the first quarter 2003, we sold unregistered
securities as described below. There were no underwriters involved in the
transactions and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in
connection therewith, except as disclosed below. The purchasers of the
securities in such transactions represented their intention to acquire the
securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sales in
connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to
the certificates for the securities issued in such transactions. The purchasers
of the securities in the transactions below were each sophisticated investors
who were provided information about us and were able to bear the risk of loss of
their entire investment.
On February 4, 2003, we issued 2,146,577 shares of our common stock,
no par value per share, to David J. Wodar, in settlement of $67,000 of accounts
payable related to investor communications and marketing services rendered.
On February 7, 2003, we entered into a consulting agreement with
Dailyfinancial.com Inc. who shall perform corporate consulting services in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and other financial
services. In consideration for such services we issued 4,200,000 shares of our
common stock, no par value per share.
On March 13, 2003, we issued 1,356,129 shares of our common stock, no
par value per share, to John Taylor, an employee, in settlement of an employment
bonus.
On March 13, 2003, we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock, no
par value per share, to Northern Hills Inc., in consideration of financing and
advisory services rendered.
We believe all of the above issuances were exempt from
registration pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS IN SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On January 24, 2003, we held a Special Meeting of Shareholders at which
