VOICE MOBILITY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2003
Unaudited

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Voice Mobility International, Inc., (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation engaged in the development and sales and marketing of enhanced messaging software through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Voice Mobility Inc. and Voice Mobility (US) Inc. The Company's enhanced messaging software suite will allow for legacy voice-mail replacement and incremental offerings such as real time call connect, voice-mail to e-mail, and fax to e-mail services. These unified communication services are facilitated by the creation of a single personal digital mailbox that can receive any type of communication regardless of its incoming format or medium. The Company's principal geographic markets include North America, Europe and Asia.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $2,167,803 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2003 and has a working capital deficiency of $612,791 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations, as well as the growth of the business, through a series of equity and debt financings. On September 9, 2003, the Company received gross proceeds of $729,759 (Cdn$1,000,000) in connection with the issuance of the Series D promissory notes and the issuance of common stock units. Management plans to continue to seek other sources of financing on favorable terms, however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Management believes it has implemented significant cost reductions and expects to keep its operating costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or operating activities.. There are no assurances tha t the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and, if necessary, on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary 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 different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

2. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one major line of business, the development, manufacture and marketing of enhanced messaging software systems. The Company derived 74% [nine months ended September 30, 2002 - 98%] of its revenues to external customers from sales by its Canadian operations and has substantially all its assets in Canada. The Company derived 26% [nine months ended September 30, 2002 - 2%] of its revenues from sales by its US operations. Sales to two customers comprised 62% of revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2003. Sales to Innovatia Inc., an existing shareholder of the Company, and NBTel, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Aliant Inc., comprised 86% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

3. NOTES RECEIVABLE

As at September 30, 2003, the former majority shareholder of the predecessor corporation, Equity Capital Group, Inc., was delinquent in scheduled payments to the Company totaling $190,406.

In 2002, an existing shareholder and director of the Company agreed to indemnify the Company against any losses that may be incurred on the collectibility of the note receivable.

4. RESTRUCTURING OF DEBT AND PREFERRED SHARES

On September 9, 2003, the Company completed a restructuring arrangement whereby certain existing debt and convertible preferred shares were settled in full in exchange for the issuance of new debt, common stock and share purchase warrants. The exchange of old debt for new debt, common stock and share purchase warrants has been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings". The exchange of convertible preferred shares for new debt and share purchase warrants has been accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios" and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments".

Exchange of Series A and B Promissory Notes

The existing principal amounts of the Series A promissory notes (Cdn$650,000) and Series B promissory notes (Cdn$1,800,000) were exchanged for the same $1,814,949 (Cdn$2,450,000) principal amount of Series C promissory notes. The Series C promissory notes continue to bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly, however, the maturity date has been extended to December 31, 2005 (refer to Note 7).

As part of the troubled debt restructuring, the Company issued 864,702 common stock and 1,633,332 Series T share purchase warrants in partial settlement of $272,242 (Cdn$367,500) representing the 15% repayment premium accrued for the Series A promissory notes and Series B promissory notes. The fair market value of the common stock, based on quoted market price, was $211,387 (Cdn$285,352) and the estimated fair value of the share purchase warrants, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $302,491 (Cdn$408,333). Accordingly, a loss of $241,636 (per share loss of $0.01) was recorded in the statement of operations. No other gain or loss was recognized on the restructuring of the promissory notes.

The Series T share purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (Cdn$0.425) per share. The warrants also include a call feature at the option of the Company that is described in Note 11[c].

Exchange of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares

The Company issued Series C promissory notes with a principal amount of $1,757,093 (Cdn$2,372,526) and 1,581,684 Series T share purchase warrants in exchange for the settlement of 585,698 Series B convertible preferred shares with a stated amount of $1,757,093 (Cdn$2,372,526) and a previously recorded beneficial conversion feature of $1,341,448.

6

The Series C promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly and mature on December 31, 2005 (refer to Note 7). The Series T share purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (Cdn$0.425) per share. The warrants also include a call feature at the option of the Company that is described in Note 11[c].

The fair value of the Series C promissory notes on the date of issuance was estimated at $1,485,177 (Cdn$2,004,841) based on a 15% market interest rate which management has determined to reflect the Company's cost of borrowing. The fair value of the Series T share purchase warrants was estimated at $292,926 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The $1,320,438 net difference between the $3,098,541 combined carrying value of the convertible preferred shares and previously recorded beneficial conversion feature and the $1,778,103 combined fair value of the Series C promissory notes and Series T share purchase warrants issued has been recorded as a reduction to the accumulated deficit and a reduction to the net loss attributable to common stockholders.

5. SERIES A PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

On June 28, 2002, the Company issued an aggregate of $428,891 (Cdn$650,000) of Series A promissory notes to four shareholders. The notes were repayable on the earlier of June 27, 2003, or when the Company's cumulative revenues plus the net proceeds of any debt or equity financing exceed $1,851,989 (Cdn$2,500,000) from the issuance date, or when the Company completes a consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other reorganization as a result of which the successor corporation after completion of the transaction has working capital of more than $1,851,989 (Cdn$2,500,000).

The notes were subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance. The repayment premium of $71,355 (Cdn$97,500) was recorded as an increase to the promissory notes balance and as a deferred financing cost. The deferred financing cost has been fully amortized to interest expense. The notes carried interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which was payable quarterly.

The notes and the repayment premium were settled on September 9, 2003 as part of the restructuring of debt and preferred shares described in Note 4.

6. SERIES B PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

From December 30, 2002 to May 31, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of $1,222,391 (Cdn$1,800,000) of Series B promissory notes to two shareholders. The notes were repayable on the earlier of one year following the date of issue or when the Company's cumulative revenues plus the net proceeds of any debt or equity financing exceed $1,851,989 (Cdn$2,500,000) from the issuance date, or when the Company completes a consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other reorganization as a result of which the successor corporation after completion of the transaction has working capital of more than $1,851,989 (Cdn$2,500,000).

The Series B promissory notes were issued on December 30, 2002, January 31, 2003, February 28, 2003, March 31, 2003, April 30, 2003 and May 31, 2003.

The notes were subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance. The repayment premium of $197,600 (Cdn$270,000) was recorded as an increase to the promissory notes balance and as a deferred financing cost. The deferred financing cost has been fully amortized to interest expense. The notes carried interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which was payable quarterly.

The notes and the repayment premium were settled on September 9, 2003 as part of the restructuring of debt and preferred shares described in Note 4.

The Series C promissory notes were issued on September 9, 2003 as part of the restructuring of debt and preferred shares described in Note 4.

The Series C promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly and will mature on December 31, 2005. The Company has agreed to repay the Series C promissory notes at a rate equal to 10% of gross sales as and when generated and as reported on the Company's quarterly and annual financial statements.

The Series C promissory notes are recorded at a discount of $271,916 (Cdn$367,685), which represents the difference between the carrying value of the Series B preferred shares settled and the fair value of the Series C promissory notes issued. The discount is subject to accretion over the 27 month term to maturity of the promissory notes.

Repayment of the Series C promissory notes are secured against the assets of the Company's subsidiary, Voice Mobility Inc. and repayment of the Series C promissory notes has been guaranteed by the Company.

On September 9, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of $366,838 (Cdn$500,000) Series D promissory notes and 574,999 Series R share purchase warrants to four shareholders one of whom is also a director of the Company. The notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly and will mature on December 31, 2005. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (Cdn$0.425) per share. The warrants also include a call feature at the option of the Company that is described in Note 11[c].

The notes are subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance. The repayment premium of $55,560 (Cdn$75,000) was recorded as an increase to the promissory notes balance and as a deferred financing cost. The deferred financing cost is being amortized to interest expense over the 27 month term to maturity. The gross proceeds have been allocated to the promissory notes and the warrants based on the relative fair value of each security at the time of issuance. Accordingly, $284,466 (Cdn$384,000) was allocated to the promissory notes and $85,932 (Cdn$116,000) was allocated to the warrants in aggregate. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.   The discount on the notes as a result of the warrants is subject to accretion over the 27 month term to maturity of the promissory notes.

The promissory note bears interest at prime plus 1% (prime rate at September 30, 2003 was 4.5%) and is repayable in quarterly installments until repaid in full. The amount payable each quarter ("Maximum Amount Payable") is the lesser of $167,922 (Cdn$226,678) and 40% of the net aggregate amount of invoices ("Invoiced Amount") issued by the Company to Aliant and its subsidiaries in the quarter. In the event the Invoiced Amount for a particular quarter exceeds $167,922 (Cdn$226,678), the Company will carry forward the difference between the Invoiced Amount and $167,922 (Cdn$226,678) and include the difference in the calculation of Maximum Amount Payable for subsequent quarters. The Company has the option, until December 31, 2004, to settle some or all of the promissory note, principal and interest, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof. If paid by common shares, then 500,000 of the shares will be valued at the lesser of the market price of the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Cdn$0.75 per share, and the value of the balance of any other shares issuable is determined by the weighted average trading price of the Company's common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange over the ten trading days immediately prior to the date on which the common shares are to be issued.

After December 31, 2004, any amount of the promissory note which remains unpaid will continue to be settled at the lesser of $167,922 (Cdn$226,678) and 40% of the net aggregate amount of invoices issued by the Company to Aliant in the quarter, however the Company is required to settle only with common shares and the number of common shares payable each quarter, if any, is determined by dividing the Maximum Amount Payable by Cdn$1.56.

As of September 30, 2003, the current portion is calculated as $341,248 (Cdn$460,651), which consists of the amounts due for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 [$167,922 (Cdn$226,678)], December 31, 2002 [$167,922 (Cdn$226,678)], and March 31, 2003 [$5,404 (Cdn$7,295)]. No amounts are due for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003 respectively.

If the Company made the election to settle the entire promissory note payable with common shares, this would result in the issuance of an additional 7,389,683 shares of common stock. The Company is required to obtain shareholder and regulatory approval to issue common shares to settle the promissory note. The Company has obtained shareholder and regulatory approval to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to settle all or a portion of the promissory note. If the Company does not obtain additional approval for further issuances of common stock, the Company can only repay the remaining balance of the promissory note, if any, in cash.

10. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

On March 4, 2002, the Company and Innovatia signed a development agreement to develop enhanced messaging software for the period January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2003. Innovatia licensed certain intellectual property to the Company on a non-exclusive non-transferable basis for use in the development and verification of current products and provided specific professional, project management, administrative and support services. In consideration for these services, the Company agreed to pay Innovatia a cash royalty within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter equal to 10% on the gross quarterly revenue received for the sale of the Company's products. On November 26, 2002, Innovatia terminated the development agreement and the royalty payments terminated six months thereafter on May 26, 2003. As at September 30, 2003, the Company has accrued $51,631 (Cdn$69,697) for the royalty payments due on gr oss quarterly revenue received prior to May 26, 2003.

11. SHARE CAPITAL

[a] Issued and Authorized

The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 share of common stock, par value $.001 per share and up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.

In connection with the 1999 recapitalization of VMI, Voice Mobility Canada Limited (VM Canada) issued 6,600,000 VM Canada Exchangeable Shares. VM Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Each VM Canada Exchangeable Share is exchangeable for one of the Company's common shares at any time at the option of the shareholder, and will be exchanged no later than July 1, 2009, and has essentially the same voting, dividend and other rights as one of the Company's common shares. A share of Series A preferred voting stock, which was issued to a trustee in trust for the holders of the VM Canada Exchangeable Shares, provides the mechanism for holders of the VM Canada Exchangeable Shares to have voting rights in the Company. The Company considers each Exchangeable Share as equivalent to a share of its common stock and therefore the Exchangeable Shares are included in the computation of basic earnings per share.

As at September 30, 2003 the holders of the Exchangeable Shares are entitled to 3,450,000 individual votes in all matters of the Company. As the Exchangeable Shares are converted into common stock of the Company, the voting rights attached to the share of Series A preferred voting stock are proportionately reduced.

On September 9, 2003, in connection with a private placement transaction, the Company issued 1,176,470 units at $0.31 (Cdn$0.425) per unit for net cash proceeds of $362,921 (Cdn$495,750). Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one Series S share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (Cdn$0.425) per share. The warrants also include a call feature at the option of the Company that is described in Note 11[e].

On September 9, 2003, in connection with the exchange of the Series A and B promissory notes into the Series C promissory notes described in Note 4, the Company issued an aggregate of 864,702 common shares to settle the 15% repayment fee on the Series A and B promissory notes.

[b] Stock options

The Second Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") authorizes an aggregate amount of 10,000,000 common shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options.

The Series R, S and T share purchase warrants have a call feature by which the Company can demand exercise of the share purchase warrants if the common stock trades at a price equal to or greater than three times the applicable exercise price for a period of 30 consecutive days. If the share purchase warrants have not been exercised then such share purchase warrants will terminate on the date that is 120 days from the date such demand is given to the holders.

[e] Pro forma disclosure of stock based compensation

Pro forma information regarding results of operations and earnings (loss) per share is required by SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, for stock-based awards to employees as if the Company had accounted for such awards using the fair value method.

The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards granted to employees for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option pricing assumptions include a dividend yield of 0%, a weighted average expected life of 2.5 years [nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 - 2.5 years], a risk free interest rate of 3.57% [nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 - 3.26%] and an expected volatility of 171 % [nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 - 159%]. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 was $0.20 [nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 - $0.10]. For pro forma purposes, the estimated value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the underlying optio ns. The effect on the Company's net loss and loss per share of applying SFAS 123 to the Company's stock-based awards to employees would approximate the following:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On December 31, 2001, a former contract employee filed a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim with the Supreme Court of British Columbia claiming breach of an implied employment contract and Stock Option Agreement by the Company. The relief sought is damages under several causes of action for an aggregate of approximately $1,825,892. The Company believes that there is no substantive merit to the claim and management intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company has made no provision in the financial statements on the belief that the probability of a loss is remote. Any amount the Company may be obligated to pay, if any, in connection with this claim will be recorded in the period the claim is resolved.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On September 9, 2003, the Company issued $34,077 (Cdn$46,000) of Series D promissory note and 46,000 Series R share purchase warrants to a shareholder and director of the Company.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A variable interest entity is an entity that has (1) equity investment at risk that is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties, (2) a group of equity owners that are unable to make substantive decision's about the entity's activities, or (3) equity that does not absorb the entity's losses or receive the benefits of the entity. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31,

12

2003. For existing variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its results of operations and financial condition; however, it does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

13

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated interim unaudited financial statements and the notes to consolidated unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this filing. Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances o ccurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the risk factors that are included at page 24 of this quarterly report.

We are engaged in the development and sales and marketing of unified voice messaging software through our wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Voice Mobility Inc. and Voice Mobility (US) Inc. Our enhanced messaging software suite allows for legacy voice-mail replacement and incremental offerings such as real time call connect, voice-mail to e-mail, and fax to e-mail services. These unified communication services are facilitated by the creation of a single personal digital mailbox that can receive any type of communication regardless of its incoming format or medium.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we implemented a restructuring plan in an effort to reduce our expenses and monthly burn rate. The restructuring plan consisted primarily of a reduction in employees in all areas of our operations, a reduction in our office space from 5,000 s.f. to 2,000 s.f. (saving rent of $2,000 (CDN$3,000) per month) by relocating our offices to our new premises in Burnaby, British Columbia, a reduction in the size of our office space in Victoria, British Columbia by subleasing a portion of that space and by a significant reduction in the utilization of consultants.

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "CDN$" refer to Canadian dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002:

Sales

Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $3,338, compared to $477,007 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 representing a 99% decrease. Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 were from the recognition of deferred revenue in relation to support services. Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 were from software licence sales, recognition of deferred revenue from 2000, mailbox subscriptions, and support services. Sales to one customer, Aliant Inc., an existing shareholder of the Company comprised 100% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Sales to Innovatia Inc., an existing shareholder of the Company, and NBTel, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Aliant Inc., comprised 88% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

14

Cost of sales

Cost of sales were $nil and $48,378 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively, representing a 100% decrease. We did not record any cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 as all revenue earned in the quarter was recognized deferred revenue. Cost of sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 was primarily comprised of royalty costs.

Operating Expenses

Total operating costs for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $696,278 compared to $977,030 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in total costs of $280,752, or 29%, was primarily attributable to the continued implementation of our restructuring plan to conserve cash and to reduce our monthly cash burn rate. The reduction in personnel was the primary method used to reduce our operating costs. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, we employed 19 individuals and during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 we employed 34 individuals. The difference of 15 employees resulted in a net monthly savings of $77,000. Our restructuring plan has resulted in a significant reduction in ongoing operating costs.

Sales & Marketing

Our sales and marketing costs consist primarily of personnel, advertising, promotions, public relations and business development. Total costs were $135,202 and $230,102 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $94,900 or 41%.

The decrease of $94,900 in sales and marketing expense is a result of a decrease in sales and marketing personnel, advertising and promotions, consulting fees, and general sales and marketing expenses. The primary reason for the decrease in costs is a result of a cost reduction plan. We decreased personnel in our sales and marketing department by four persons between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

Research and Development

Our research and development costs were $161,582 and $238,805 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $77,223 or 32%. These costs reflect employee stock option compensation cost of $nil and $4,163 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $73,060 (net of stock based compensation) in research and development expense between the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is primarily a result of a decrease in research and development personnel, data and voice transmission, and related facility costs. The primary reason for the decrease in costs is a result of a cost reduction plan. We decreased personnel in our research and development department by nine developers between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel costs, professional and legal costs, consulting fees, travel, and the lease of office space. General and administrative costs were $399,494 and $508,123 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $108,629 or 21% in our general and administrative costs. These costs reflect employee stock option compensation costs of $3,334 and ($989) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $106,284 (net of stock based compensation) in general and administrative costs between the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is a result of the decrease in personnel costs, professional and legal costs, consulting fees, lease of office space, and general administrative costs. We decreased administrative personnel by two persons between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

15

Interest Income

Interest income was $4 and $1,811 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, we earned interest income on cash through term deposits. The decrease in interest income is a result of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2003.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense was $211,707 and $46,348 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in interest expense resulted from the increase in the outstanding balance of our debt financing activities for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003.

Loss on Debt Restructuring

We recorded a $241,636 loss on debt restructuring as described more fully in Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

For financial statement purposes we have recognized a valuation allowance equal to deferred tax assets, which includes net operating loss carry forwards, for which realization is uncertain.

Net Loss

Our net loss was $1,146,279 and $592,938 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The primary reason for the increase in net loss is due to the decrease in revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the revenue recorded of $477,007 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Since inception through September 30, 2003, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $35.1 million. The losses were primarily incurred as a result of our focus on the development and testing of our product and the marketing of our product. We have moved our focus from the development of our product and we are now in a position to focus on the sales of our product and we believe that we will continue to incur losses until we generate sufficient revenues to cover all of our operating expenses. Because we are uncertain as to the rate at which telecommunications companies will replace their legacy voicemail systems with technology like our enhanced messaging product, we cannot accurately predict when we will be able to generate revenues which will exceed our ongoing operating expenses.

Results of Operations for the Nine-Month Periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002:

Sales

Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $57,967, compared to $670,338 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 representing a 91% decrease. The decrease in sales is attributed to the decrease in the volume of goods sold (and not to decreases in price) compared to the same period last year. Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 were from recognition of deferred revenue from 2000 and support services. Sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 were from software license sales, recognition of deferred revenue from 2000, mailbox subscriptions, and support services. Sales to two customers, Ikano Communications (36%) and Haddad Advanced Technology Company (26%), comprised 62% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Sales to Innovatia Inc., an existing shareholder of the Company, and NBTel, both wholly owned subsidiaries of Aliant Inc., comprised 86% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we derived 74% of our sales from our Canadian operations (98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002) and 26% from sales from our U.S. operations (2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002).

16

Cost of sales

Cost of sales were $nil and $62,818 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively, representing a 100% decrease. We did not record any cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 as all revenue earned in the quarter was recognized deferred revenue. Cost of sales for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 were comprised of localization costs, royalty cost and the amortization of the telephony hardware, software licenses, and installation costs of previous versions of our product at existing customer locations (which used to be sold as a complete product including hardware and software).

Operating Expenses

Total operating costs for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $2,225,770 compared to $3,367,054 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in total costs of $1,141,284, or 34%, was primarily attributable to the continued implementation of our restructuring plan to conserve cash and to reduce our monthly cash burn rate. The plan resulted in a significant reduction in costs and the reduction in personnel was the primary method used to reduce our operating costs. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, we decreased the number of employees by nine, which resulted in a net monthly savings of $46,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Sales & Marketing

Our sales and marketing costs consist primarily of personnel, advertising, promotions, public relations and business development. Total costs were $523,307 and $812,187 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $288,880 or 36%.

The decrease of $288,880 in sales and marketing expense is a result of a decrease in sales and marketing personnel, advertising and promotions, consulting fees, and general sales and marketing expenses. The primary reason for the decrease in costs is a result of a cost reduction plan. We decreased personnel in our sales and marketing department by four persons between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

Research and Development

Our research and development costs were $550,064 and $833,727 respectively for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $283,663 or 34%. These costs reflect employee stock option compensation cost of $nil and $18,334 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $265,329 (net of stock based compensation) in research and development expense between the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is primarily a result of a decrease in research and development personnel, data and voice transmission, and related facility costs. The primary reason for the decrease in costs is a result of a cost reduction plan. We decreased personnel in our research and development department by nine developers between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel costs, professional and legal costs, consulting fees, travel, and the lease of office space. General and administrative costs were $1,152,399 and $1,721,140 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $568,741 or 33% in our general and administrative costs. These costs reflect employee stock option compensation costs of $3,334 and $nil for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $565,407 (net of stock based compensation) in general and administrative costs between the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, is a result of the decrease in personnel costs, professional and legal costs, consulting fees, lease of office space, and general administrative costs. We decreased administrative personnel by two persons between October 1, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

17

Interest Income

Interest income was $5 and $6,366 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, we earned interest income on cash through term deposits. The decrease in interest income is a result of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents from September 30, 2002 to September 30, 2003.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense was $403,109 and $87,546 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in interest expense resulted from the increase in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, including the Series A, B, C and D promissory notes payable.

Loss on Debt Restructuring

We recorded a $241,636 loss on debt restructuring as described more fully in Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

For financial statement purposes the Company has recognized a valuation allowance equal to deferred tax assets, which includes net operating loss carry forwards, for which realization is uncertain.

Net Loss

Our net loss was $2,812,543 and $2,840,714 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in net loss is due to the implementation of our cost reduction plan that involved the reduction in personnel between October 2002 and September 2003 of 15 employees and their related costs. Along with the cost reduction plan, we recorded a loss on debt restructuring of $236,434 that took place on September 9, 2003.

Since inception through September 30, 2003, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $36.7 million. The losses were primarily incurred as a result of our focus on the development and testing of our product and the marketing of our product. We have moved our focus from the development of our product and we are now in a position to focus on the sales of our product and we believe that we will continue to incur losses until we generate sufficient revenues to cover all of our operating expenses. Because we are uncertain as to the rate at which telecommunications companies will replace their legacy voicemail systems with technology like our enhanced messaging product, we cannot accurately predict when we will be able to generate revenues which will exceed our ongoing operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2003, we had $162,067 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $612,791.

Operating Activities

Our operating activities resulted in net cash outflows of $1.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. Operating activities resulted in net cash outflows of $2.6 million and $7.6 million respectively for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The operating cash outflows for these periods resulted from significant investments in research and development, sales, marketing and services, which led to operating losses in all periods.

18

Investing Activities

Investing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $13,127 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $0.01 million and $0.9 million respectively for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The investing activities in fiscal 2002 was limited due to our cash conservation plans and in 2001 consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment as a result of growth of our company and our development activities. These capital expenditures consisted of hardware, software, equipment, and furniture for our then growing employee headcount, and our research and development needs. At September 30, 2003, we did not have any material commitments for future capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Financing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $1.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 from the issuance of Series B and D promissory notes and the issuance of common shares and share purchase warrants in a private placement transaction in September 2003.

On June 28, 2002, we received $428,891 (CDN$650,000) from the issuance of Series A promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly. The notes included a 15% repayment premium due on settlement. The notes were repayable on the earlier of June 27, 2003 or when our net revenues plus any proceeds we receive from any financing exceed $1,855,288 (CDN$2,500,000), or when we complete a consolidation, merger, amalgamation or other reorganization the result of which the successor corporation has working capital of more than $1,855,288 (CDN$2,500,000). We did not repay the notes on their maturity date of June 27, 2003. The proceeds from the promissory notes were applied towards working capital purposes. The Series A promissory notes were exchanged into the Series C promissory note on September 9, 2003. See notes 4, 5 and 7 to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for further details on the Series A promissory notes and the exchange to Series C promissory notes.

In July 2002, we received $0.5 million in proceeds through a series of equity private placements. The private placements involved the issuance of both common shares and warrants. The proceeds were applied towards working capital purposes.

On December 30, 2002, we entered into two loan subscription agreements (Series B promissory notes) with two shareholders (William Laird and Margit Kristiansen) whereby if we achieve certain milestones, we would receive an aggregate of $1,222,391 (CDN$1,800,000). Each of these lenders advanced $101,856 (CDN$150,000) on each of December 30, 2002, January 31, 2003 and February 28, 2003. In addition, each of these lenders advanced a further $101,856 (CDN$150,000) three days after we provide the lenders with a written notice that: (i) we have received gross revenues of $34,669 (CDN$46,800) prior to the end of April 30, 2003; (ii) we have received gross revenues of $52,003 (CDN$70,200) prior to the end of May 31, 2003; and (iii) we have received gross revenues of $58,938 (CDN$79,560) prior to the end of June 30, 2003. The notes are repayable on the earlier of the date which is one year following the effective date of the notes, or when our cumulative revenues plus the net proceeds of any debt or equity financing exceed $1,851,989 (CDN$2,500,000), or when we complete a consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other reorganization as a result of which the successor corporation after completion of the transaction has working capital of more than $1,851,989 (CDN$2,500,000). The notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly. The notes included a 15% repayment premium due on settlement. In December 2002, we received $190,162 (CDN$300,000) as the first series of proceeds from the loan subscription agreement. The proceeds from the promissory notes were applied towards working capital purposes. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2002, in January 2003 and February 2003, we received the next two series of proceeds of $199,667 (CDN$300,000) each. These proceeds from the promissory notes were applied toward working capital purposes. Although we did not meet the milestones as outlined in the agreements, the lenders continued to advance funds in March, April and May 2003, in or der for us to meet our working capital requirements. The Series B promissory notes were exchanged into the Series C promissory note on September 9, 2003. See notes 4, 6 and 7 to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for further details on the Series B promissory notes and the exchange to Series C promissory notes.

On September 9, 2003, we issued an aggregate of $366,838 (CDN$500,000) Series D promissory notes to four shareholders, one of whom is also a director of the Company. The Series D promissory notes are repayable on

19

December 31, 2005. The notes are subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly. We issued to the holders of the Series D notes one share purchase warrant for each $0.64 (CDN$0.8696) of principal which resulted in us issuing 574,999 warrants. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.

On September 9, 2003, we issued an aggregate of 1,176,470 units with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant for net proceeds of $362,921 (CDN$495,750). The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.

Financing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $1,761,988, $926,533 and $9,730,855 for the nine-month ended September 30, 2003 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.

Restructuring of Debt and Preferred Shares

On September 9, 2003, we restructured certain debt as follows:

- exchanged the Series A promissory notes (CDN$650,000 principal amount) into Series C promissory notes in the principal amount of CDN$650,000 issued by our subsidiary, Voice Mobility Inc.;

- exchanged the Series B promissory notes (CDN$1,800,000 principal amount) into Series C promissory notes in the principal amount of CDN$1,800,000 issued by our subsidiary, Voice Mobility Inc.;

- exchanged the Series B preferred shares (CDN$2,372,526 stated amount) into Series C promissory notes in the principal amount of CDN$2,372,526; and

- issued 864,702 shares of common stock as payment for the 15% repayment fee on the Series A and Series B promissory notes and issued to the holders of the Series A and B promissory notes and the Series B preferred stock, one share purchase warrant for each $1.11 (CDN$1.50) principal amount of Series C promissory notes, with such warrants being exercisable at $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share for a period of five years.

The Series C promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly and will mature on December 31, 2005. We have agreed to repay the Series C promissory notes at a rate equal to 10% of our subsidiaries' gross sales as and when generated. Repayment of the Series C promissory notes are secured against the assets of our subsidiary, Voice Mobility Inc. and we have guaranteed repayment of the Series C promissory notes.

The share purchase warrants issued in connection with the Series C promissory notes have a call feature by which we can demand exercise of the share purchase warrants if our common stock trades at a price equal to or greater than three times the applicable exercise price for a period of 30 consecutive days. If the share purchase warrants have not been exercised then such share purchase warrants will terminate on the date that is 120 days from the date such demand is given to the holders.

Aliant Transactions

In February 2001, we entered into a three-year development agreement with Innovatia Inc., a shareholder and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aliant Inc. The purpose of the agreement was to develop a carrier classified product that we would exclusively own or license to Aliant to use as its primary hosted messaging solution for its business and residential customers. Under the agreement, Innovatia would license certain intellectual property to us on a non-exclusive, non-transferable basis for use in the development and verification of our current products and would provide specific professional, project management, administrative and support services for the development, testing and verification of our product with an actual telecommunications company.

20

On December 28, 2001, Innovatia and Voice Mobility Inc. agreed to terminate the three-year development agreement. In settlement of the services provided under this agreement, we issued to Innovatia a promissory note in the amount of $1,707,989 (CDN$2,720,142). Immediately thereafter, we repaid $132,059 (CDN$210,000) of the promissory note by issuing 500,000 common shares at a market price of $0.26 (CDN$0.42) per share.

The promissory note bears interest at prime plus 1% (prime rate at September 30, 2003 was 4.5%) and is repayable in quarterly instalments until repaid in full. The amount payable each quarter is the lesser of $167,922 (CDN$226,678) and 40% of the net aggregate amount of invoices issued by us to Aliant, pursuant to the software license agreement discussed below, in the quarter. In the event the invoiced amount for a particular quarter exceeds $167,922 (CDN$226,678), we will carry forward the difference between the invoiced amount and $167,922 (CDN$226,678) and include the difference in the calculation of maximum amount payable for subsequent quarters. We have the option, until December 31, 2004, to settle some or all of the promissory note, principal and interest, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof. If paid by common shares, then 500,000 of the shares will be valued at the lesser of the market price of our shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and $0.55 (CDN$0.75) per share, and the value of the balance of any other shares issuable is determined by the weighted average trading price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange over the ten trading days immediately prior to the date on which the common shares are to be issued.

After December 31, 2004, any amount of the promissory note which remains unpaid will continue to be settled as the lesser of $167,922 (CDN$226,678) and 40% of the net aggregate amount of invoices issued by us to Aliant in the quarter, however we are required to settle only with common shares and the number of common shares payable each quarter, if any, is determined by dividing the maximum amount payable by $1.15 (CDN$1.56).

On October 1, 2003, the maximum amount payable to Aliant was $341,248 (CDN$460,651). If we were to make the election to settle the entire promissory note payable with common shares, this would result in the issuance of an additional 7,389,683 shares of our common stock to Aliant for such quarterly payments. We are required to obtain shareholder and regulatory approval to issue common shares to settle the promissory note. We have obtained shareholder and regulatory approval to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to settle all or a portion of the promissory note. If we do not obtain additional approval for further issuances of common stock, we can only repay the remaining balance of the promissory note, if any, in cash.

On March 4, 2002, Innovatia and Voice Mobility Inc. signed a new development agreement. The purpose of this agreement was to develop a carrier-grade unified communications product for the period January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2003. Innovatia would license certain intellectual property to us on a non-exclusive non-transferable basis for use in the development and verification of current products and would provide specific professional, project management, administrative and support services. In consideration for these services, we agreed to pay Innovatia a cash royalty within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter equal to 10% on the gross quarterly revenue received from the sale of our products. On November 26, 2002, Innovatia terminated the development agreement and the royalty payments terminated six months thereafter on May 26, 2003.

In June 2002, we entered into a three-year software license agreement with Aliant Telecom Inc. The license agreement involves the licensing of our product to Aliant for its legacy voicemail replacement and further development of our product to satisfy Aliant's requirements. As part of the agreement, Aliant paid us $0.7 million (CDN$1.125 million) as an initial payment, which we received in August 2002. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized as revenue $461,379 (CDN$724,504) of the initial payment for delivery of software licenses and services. The remaining balance of the initial payment will be recognized as revenue when future product and services are delivered. At this time, we are unable to accurately predict when delivery will be made to Aliant because the timing of the delivery of services by us is based on extrinsic factors such as regulatory approval from the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission, Aliant's customer demands, delivery an d development costs, timing of development cycles, third party deliverables and deployment plans for class of services based on Aliant's customer segmentation. Revenue from the Aliant contract currently is material to the Company's overall business and financial condition.

21

Trends and Uncertainties

Our ability to generate revenues in the future is dependent on when telecommunication companies will replace their legacy voicemail systems and implement new technology, like our enhanced messaging software. We cannot predict when telecommunication companies will adopt such technology and this causes some uncertainty with respect to the growth of and our ability to generate ongoing revenues.

The current general downturn in the telecommunications industry may be causing some telecommunications companies to delay making any capital expenditures in connection with replacing their legacy voicemail systems. If telecommunication companies delay their capital expenditures, then the growth of our revenues could also be delayed.

Future Operations

Presently, our revenues are not sufficient to meet operating and capital expenses and we have incurred operating losses since inception, which are likely to continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2003. Management projects that we will require an additional $3.15 to $3.65 million to fund our ongoing operating expenses, working capital requirements and extinguish our debt for the next twelve months, broken down as follows:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next Twelve Months

Operating expenses

 

Sales and Marketing

$700,000 - $800,000

General and Administrative

$800,000 - $900,000

Research and Development

$750,000 - $850,000

Capital Expenditures

$50,000 - $100,000

Working capital

$400,000 - $500,000

Debt

 

Payment of interest on promissory notes

$450,000 - $500,000

Total

$3,150,000 - $3,650,000

As at September 30, 2003, we had a working capital deficiency of $612,791. On September 9, 2003, we raised $366,838 (CDN$500,000) from the issuance of the Series D promissory notes and $362,921 (CDN$500,000) from the issuance of common shares and warrants. The proceeds from the issuance of the Series D promissory notes and the proceeds from the sales of our common shares and warrants were used to fund operations through to the end of October 2003. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional cash of approximately $1.2 million in the near term to provide us with working capital to continue our normal operations. Management is currently in the process of negotiating a debt financing in the amount of $222,000 (Cdn$300,000). The terms and conditions are not yet determined.

On September 9, 2003, we restructured our debt obligations in terms of the Series A and Series B promissory notes which extended the maturity date of these notes to December 31, 2005.

We currently anticipate that revenues will increase in the long-term as we increase our sales and marketing activities and introduce new versions of our software that are technologically feasible and of carrier class quality. We have implemented significant cost reductions and expect to keep our operating costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or operating activities. Based on current projections, we anticipate revenues from Tier I telecommunications providers in 2004 generated through the replacement of legacy voice mail systems.

22

We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy these immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the sale of our equity securities or debt.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, our independent chartered accountants included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our current products and any new products that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our products and related technologies, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A variable interest entity is an entity that has (1) equity investment at risk that is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties, (2) a group of equity owners that are unable to make substantive decision's about the entity's activities, or (3) equity that does not absorb the entity's losses or receive the benefits of the entity. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For existing variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its results of operations and financial condition; however, it does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our operating results and financial position.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are derived from sales of software licenses, hardware and maintenance and training services. We sell software licenses with maintenance and training services, hardware on a stand-alone basis and bundled arrangements including software, hardware and maintenance and training services. We generally license our software to customers for an indefinite period of time.

We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition" and Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements".

23

SOP 97-2 requires that the total arrangement fee from software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products, post contract customer support and/or other services be allocated to each element of the arrangement based on their relative fair values. Under SOP 97-2, the determination of fair value is based on vendor specific objective evidence.

Software revenue is recognized under SOP 97-2 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when all elements essential to the functionality of the software including installation and training are delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the customer contracts, when the fee is fixed or determinable, and when collection is reasonably assured. Fees are considered fixed or determinable if the contracts are similar to others for which we have a standard business practice and a history of successful collection under the original payment terms.

For software arrangements involving multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each element based on vendor specific objective evidence of relative fair values, which are derived by allocating a value to each element that is based upon the prices charged when the element is sold separately. Our product and services are generally sold as part of a contract involving software, hardware, maintenance and training. Vendor specific objective evidence is used to determine the relative fair values of these various elements in each of the contracts.

Revenue for hardware sold separately is recognized under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Hardware revenue, net of trade discounts is recognized upon shipment or when all elements essential to functionality are complete and when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. When contracts contain specific contingencies, we defer revenue recognition until such time as the contingencies are resolved.

Revenues from maintenance are recognized rateably over the term of the arrangement, generally one year, and revenues from training are generally recognized as the services are performed.

Software Development Costs

Costs incurred internally to develop computer software products and the costs to acquire externally developed software products (which have no alternative future use) to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are charged to expense until the technological feasibility of the product has been established. After technological feasibility is established and until the product is available for general release, software development, product enhancements and acquisition costs will be capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and comply with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". The pro forma disclosure of stock-based compensation is included in note 12(d) to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. Under APB 25, compensation expense for employees is based on the difference between the fair value of our stock and the exercise price if any, on the date of the grant. We account for stock issued to non-employees at fair value in accordance with SFAS 123. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing mo del to determine the fair value of stock options granted to non-employees.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates, made by us and our management, in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

24

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing our business operations may fail.

To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and have depended on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have estimated that we will require between $3.15 and $3.65 million to carry out our business plan in the next twelve months, and we may need to raise additional funds to:

- Support our planned rapid growth and carry out our business plan,

- Develop new or enhanced services and technologies,

- Increase our marketing efforts,

- Acquire complementary businesses or technologies,

- Respond to regulatory requirements, and

- Respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.

We may not be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on acceptable terms when we need it. Even if financing is available it may not be available on terms that are favourable to us or in sufficient amounts to satisfy our requirements. If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future, we may be unable to implement our business plan and our growth strategies, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results, consummate desired acquisitions and compete effectively. More importantly, if we are unable to raise further financing when required, our continued operations may have to be scaled down or even ceased.

We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception through September 30, 2003, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $35.1 million. Our loss from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was $3.8 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $2.4 million. We also incurred a loss from operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will order products, the size of customers' orders, the demand for our products, and the level of competition and general economic conditions.

Although we anticipate that revenues will increase, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our products gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales, and/or additional products are developed and commercially released and sales of such products made so that we are operating in a profitable manner. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the explanatory paragraph on our independent chartered accountants' report on the December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements. The audited or unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

25

We could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to protect any proprietary technology and intellectual property rights against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly.

Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree on the proprietary technology. If any of our competitors copies or otherwise gains access to the proprietary technology or develops similar software independently, we would not be able to compete as effectively. The measures we take to protect the proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights are currently based upon a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, but may not be adequate to prevent their unauthorized use. Further, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of such intellectual property rights. We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In addition, notwithstanding the rights we have secured in our intellectual property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have infringed on their intel lectual property rights, including claims based upon the content we license from third parties or claims that our intellectual property right interests are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources, result in the loss of goodwill associated with our service marks or require us to make changes to our websites or other of our technologies.

We hold no patents on our technology and may not be able to protect our proprietary technology.

We do not have and do not intend to apply for patents on our products. We currently rely on copyright, trade secrets and trademark laws to protect our proprietary intellectual property. Management believes that the patent application process in many countries in which we intend to sell products would be time-consuming and expensive and any patent protection might be out of date by the time the patent were to be granted.

The departure of any of our management or significant technical personnel, the breach of their confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations, or the failure to achieve our intellectual property objectives may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe our success depends upon the knowledge and experience of our management and technical personnel and our ability to market our existing products and to develop new products. Employees may and have left us to go to work for a competitor. While we believe that we have adequately protected our proprietary technology, and we will take all appropriate and reasonable legal measures to protect it, the use of our processes by a competitor could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and oper ate without infringing upon the rights of others. We may not be able to successfully protect our proprietary technology, and our proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. Competitors' products may add features, increase performance or sell at lower prices. We cannot predict whether our products will continue to compete successfully with such existing rival architectures or whether new architectures will establish or gain market acceptance or provide increased competition with our products.

Substantially all of our assets, all of our directors and a majority of our officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.

Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, all of our directors and a majority of our officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them.

We are currently dependent on a limited number of customers and if we are unable to diversify our customer base and we lose one or more of these customers, then our revenues may decrease significantly.

Sales to two customers comprised 62% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Sales to one customer, Aliant, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprised 84% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2002 and

26

56% in the year ended December 31, 2001. Sales to three customers comprised 93% of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2000. If our business strategy is successful, we expect that we will become less dependent on such significant customers in the future as sales increase. However, if we are unable to successfully diversify our customer base and if we lost one or more of these limited number of customers, our revenues would decrease significantly and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.

The market for unified messaging software is highly competitive and subject to frequent product introductions with improved price and/or performance characteristics. Even if we are able to introduce products, which meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance. Many companies, including UTStarcom, Comverse, Glenayre, Sema Oryx, Lucent and others have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources, better name recognition and a larger customer base than ours. In addition, many of our large competitors may offer customers a broader product line, which may provide a more comprehensive solution than our current solutions. Increased competition in the unified messaging industry could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues and successfully operate our business.

Rapid technological changes in our industry could render our products non-competitive or obsolete and consequently affect our ability to generate revenues.

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. We believe that our success will depend on our ability to continuously develop our products, to enhance our current products and to introduce them promptly into the market. We can make no assurance that our technology or systems will not become obsolete due to the introduction of alternative technologies. If we are unable to continue to develop and introduce new products to meet technology changes and changes in market demands, our business and operating results, including our ability to generate revenues, could be adversely affected.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.

As we proceed with the development of our technology, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our services, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our future growth and our ability to generate revenues may be materially and adversely affected by continued reductions in spending on telecommunications infrastructure by our customers.

A continued slowdown in capital spending by telecommunication service providers may affect our revenues more than we currently expect. Moreover, the significant slowdown in capital spending by telecommunication service providers has created uncertainty as to market demand for the type of products we produce. As a result, revenues and operating results for a particular period can be difficult to predict. In addition, there can be no certainty as to the severity or duration of the current industry adjustment. As a result of the recent changes in industry and market conditions, many of our customers have reduced their capital spending on telecommunications infrastructure. Our revenues and operating results are expected to continue to be affected by the continued reductions in capital spending on telecommunications infrastructure by our customers.

Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.

Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Toronto Stock Exchange. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other telephony companies, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue our normal operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, there can be no assurance that we can raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Nevada law contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control and could limit the market price of our common stock.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. To date, 1 share of Series A preferred stock has been designated and is issued and outstanding and, 666,667 shares of Series B preferred stock have been designated, of which nil are issued and outstanding. Our board of directors, without any action by stockholders, is authorized to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in any class or series as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of these shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of shares of preferred stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights granted to the holders of existing shares of our common stock. Further, the ability of our board of directors to designate and issue such undesignated shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal and the issuance of additional shares having preferen tial rights could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of our common stock.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the pe nny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these

28

rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

If we elect to pay fees to Innovatia in common stock then our shareholders will be subject to further, and maybe significant, dilution.

On December 28, 2001, we issued to Innovatia a promissory note in the amount of $1,707,989 (CDN$2,720,142) of which $1,970,728 (CDN$2,660,286) remains outstanding at September 30, 2003. The amount payable each quarter is the lesser of $167,922 (CDN$226,678) and 40% of the net aggregate amount of invoices issued by us to Aliant in the quarter. The quarterly amounts payable, if any, will be due on or before the first business day following the quarter end date. On October 1, 2003, the maximum amount payable to Aliant was $341,248 (CDN$460,651). We have the option, until December 31, 2004, to settle some or all of the promissory note, principal and interest, in cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares. After December 31, 2004, we are required to pay any amount of the promissory note, which remains unpaid through the issuance of our common shares. If all or a significant portion of these payments were made in shares of our common stock, this would result in substantia l additional dilution in the future. Refer to Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We are involved in a lawsuit with a former employee, which if decided against us may have a negative impact on our continuing operations.

On December 31, 2001, Budd Stewart, one of our former employees, commenced a lawsuit claiming $1,825,892. Although management believes there is no merit to this lawsuit, if the lawsuit is decided against us in the amounts claimed, it may have a negative impact on our continuing operations if we do not have sufficient capital at the time to pay any such amounts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities.

We may face foreign currency exchange risk because we expect that the majority of our revenues will be denominated in U.S. dollars in the future and a majority of our operating costs are incurred in Canadian dollars. The fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian currency will result in fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results. Management does not expect that it will employ the use of foreign currency derivative financial instruments that would allow the reduction in our exposure to exchange rate movements.

In the event we have a surplus of cash on hand at any time, we will invest such cash in a short-term investment portfolio consisting of term deposits with an average maturity of less than 90 days. These short-term investments

29

are subject to interest rate risk and we manage this risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances such that we are typically able to hold our investments to maturity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being September 30, 2003. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's president and chief executive officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's president and chief executive officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our company's president and chief executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On August 8, 2001, Sharon Ho commenced an action in the Superior Court of California against our company and its operating subsidiary to recover damages as a result of an alleged breach of contract, which occurred prior to April 1, 1999. On October 10, 2001, we entered into an indemnification agreement with Robert Cashman, the former majority shareholder of Equity Capital Group, to indemnify us against any claims or liabilities that existed prior to the reverse acquisition by Voice Mobility Inc. of Equity Capital Group, including the claim by Sharon Ho. On October 10, 2001, we also entered into a settlement agreement with Robert Cashman, whereby he was to pay us $290,000 to cover the costs of a proposed settlement with Sharon Ho and additional related legal expenses. The $290,000 was to be paid in instalments from October 10, 2001 to October 25, 2002. In addition to the indemnification and settlement agreements, we have also obtained a security agreement, a guaranty agreement and a stock pledge agreement to ensure that Mr. Cashman would make the required payments. On October 15, 2001, we executed a settlement agreement and mutual release with Ms. Ho. The settlement agreement required us to pay Ms. Ho $252,500 to be paid in instalments from October 10, 2001 to October 1, 2002, which we paid in full as at September 30, 2002. On March 8, 2002, William Krebs, a shareholder and director of our company, agreed to indemnify our company against any losses that may be incurred by us on the collectibility of the amounts agreed to be paid by the former majority shareholder of Equity Capital Group. On September 16, 2002, Mr. Cashman filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California (Case No. SA02-16986 JR.) We took action under the pledge agreement and the security agreement and took possession of certain assets of Mr. Cashman. On January 27, 2003, we sold a portion of those assets and realized cash of approximat ely $53,000.

On December 31, 2001, Budd Stewart, a former employee of our subsidiary, filed a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim with the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry), alleging that his employment was terminated and that we breached the terms of stock option agreement. The relief sought by Mr. Stewart is damages under several causes of action for an aggregate of approximately $1,825,892. In our Statement of Defence, we deny that there was an existing employment agreement with Mr. Stewart and deny that we have breached the terms of any stock option agreement. We believe that there is no substantive merit to the claims made by Mr. Stewart and we intend to vigorously defend the action. In October 2002 and June 2003, the parties conducted examinations for discovery. A trial date was scheduled for November 2003 but the date has been adjourned. The trial date is unknown at this time.

30

Other than as set out above, to our knowledge we are not a party to any other litigation as at November 14, 2003. We anticipate that, from time to time, we periodically may become subject to other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact of the above matters which seek damages of material or indeterminate amounts, and therefore cannot determine whether these actions, suits, claims or proceedings will, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We intend to vigorously defend these actions, suits, claims and proceedings.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On September 9, 2003, in connection with a private placement transaction, we issued 1,176,470 units at $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per unit for net proceeds of $362,921 (CDN$495,750) to two non-U.S. persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The proceeds from the private placement were used to funds working capital requirements.

On September 9, 2003, in connection with the exchange of the Series A and B promissory notes into the Series C promissory notes, we issued an aggregate of 864,702 common shares at a price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share as payment for the 15% repayment fee on the Series A and B promissory notes to four non-U.S. persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 9, 2003, in connection with the exchange of the Series A and B promissory notes into the Series C promissory notes, we issued an aggregate of 1,633,332 share purchase warrants which are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The share purchase warrants were issued in consideration of the holders of the Series A and B promissory notes agreeing to the restructuring of these notes. The warrants were issued to four non-U.S. persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 9, 2003, in connection with the exchange of our Series B preferred stock into Series C promissory notes, we issued an aggregate of 1,581,684 share purchase warrants which are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The share purchase warrants were issued on consideration of the holders of the Series B preferred stock agreeing to the restructuring of these shares. The warrants were issued to two non-U.S. persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 9, 2003, we issued an aggregate of $370,398 (CDN$500,000) Series D promissory notes to three shareholders and to one shareholder/director. The Series D promissory notes are repayable on December 31, 2005. The notes are subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly. We issued to the holders of the Series D notes one share purchase warrant for each $0.64 (CDN$0.8696) of principal which resulted in us issuing 574,999 warrants. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.31 (CDN$0.425) per share. The notes and the share purchase warrants were issued to four non-U.S. persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.
