We are a Nevada corporation, incorporated on October 2, 1997, under the name "Equity Capital Group, Inc.", and we are the successor to the voice service and related messaging business founded by Voice Mobility Inc. in 1993. On June 24, 1999, we changed our name to "Voice Mobility International, Inc." We have four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Voice Mobility Inc., which is a Canadian corporation incorporated on September 15, 1993; Voice Mobility (US) Inc., which is a Nevada corporation incorporated on April 6, 2000; Voice Mobility Canada Limited, which is a Canadian corporation incorporated on May 26, 1999; and VM Sub Limited, which is a Canadian corporation incorporated on May 26, 1999.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to "we", "us", "our" and "Voice Mobility" means Voice Mobility International, Inc., its predecessor company, Voice Mobility Inc. and its other subsidiaries.

Our principal executive and head offices are located at 100 - 4190 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Sales and marketing operations are primarily based out of our head office. Research, development and technical support are based out of our office located at 20 - 3318 Oak Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. We have a one person research office in Nova Scotia, Canada. We also have sales staff residing in California.

Our subsidiary, Voice Mobility Inc. was incorporated in 1993 under the name "WGT Teleserve Inc.", and was originally focused on providing enhanced telecommunications services such as voice mail, fax handling and Internet access to specific vertical markets. In the spring of 1997, we decided to shift focus and began developing a comprehensive enhanced messaging product. Early versions of our messaging products were subsequently released in 1998, 1999 and 2000.

In June 1999, the shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. completed a reverse acquisition whereby Voice Mobility Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. At that point we effectively commenced operations as a US company and our common stock was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol VMII. Between the

2

period of June 1999 and April 2001 we raised approximately $12 million, mostly from private investors, to fund our development initiatives and operations.

In April 2001, we completed a $8.4 million (CDN$13 million) equity financing and subsequently began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in July under the symbol VMY.

We are engaged in the enhanced messaging area of the telecommunications market. We market and deploy next generation messaging solutions that provide enhanced messaging features and functionality while ensuring integration with or replacement of existing first generation voicemail messaging systems. Our enhanced messaging software suite:

Legacy voicemail systems are systems that use technology that is 10 to 15 years old. These legacy systems are incapable of being upgraded, or economically upgraded, to offer enhanced messaging services, like real time call connect, voicemail to email, fax to email services and unified mailbox services.

The enhanced messaging platform is a combination of our enhanced messaging software suite installed on Intel-based commercial-off-the-shelf hardware in the service provider's preferred configuration. We can provide our enhanced messaging software only, or we can provide a complete turnkey solution including complete hosting, hardware, system configuration, migration, operating support system integration and billing support system integration. In addition, customers may license one or more of the incremental services or choose to license our entire enhanced messaging software suite.

Our enhanced messaging software suite is designed to function on industry standard commercial-off-the-shelf hardware such as Intel processor-based servers. This allows our customers to utilize their hardware manufacturer of choice, obtain the latest technology and add complementary functionality quickly and cost effectively. Our enhanced messaging software suite also uses communication and digital-signal-processing boards from NMS Communications.

With the increased use of personal communication devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and laptops, it has become a considerable challenge to manage the information retrieval process from these various devices. Users of these multiple communication devices are increasingly demanding a means of easily managing these devices in a time-saving manner. In addition, users are increasingly demanding instant access to voicemails, faxes and emails regardless of which communication device is available to them or their physical location at any point in time.

Our enhanced messaging software suite addresses all of these demands by:

Our offering is an enhanced messaging software solution through which telecommunications companies:

Telecommunication companies/carriers have been facing downward price pressure on services such as long distance, local telephone service and data service. To combat this downward price pressure, these telecommunication companies have usually introduced other revenue sources like call answer, call waiting, call display, internet access and packages of local and long distance calling. Our enhanced messaging software allows these telecommunication companies to create further sets of product/service offerings to allow them to increase or maintain their revenues.

Our enhanced messaging software suite includes the following core service features:

Our legacy voicemail replacement feature allows a telecommunication company to replace existing voicemail systems currently being used by telecommunications companies. The first stage involves installing our enhanced messaging software and migrating any existing voicemail subscribers to the messaging system. Our messaging software has been designed to allow telecommunication companies to transition their subscribers between the telecommunication company's old system and the new system. We also have the ability to interface with existing "legacy" voice-mail systems, allowing for the transfer of messages between systems. Finally, we emulate legacy voicemail telephone systems, both in terms of interfaces and features. Once the legacy voicemail subscribers are transitioned to the new messaging system, the telecommunications company has the option of adding and selling one or more of the enhanced messaging features described below.

Our real time call connect feature allows subscribers to merge all their wired and wireless communication devices, including cellular telephone, pager, fax, home and office numbers, into a single unified phone number where they can be reached. Subscribers only have to provide this one phone number which lets them receive all their calls, faxes or voice messages, no matter how many different telephone, cell phone or fax numbers they use.

Our voicemail to email feature allows subscribers to receive voicemail messages through the subscriber's one number and have them delivered to one or more email mailboxes. This service gives the subscriber the ability to choose the method of retrieving voicemail messages, through email, email enabled wireless devices or more traditional retrieval methods (like over the telephone). Our software is also capable of providing voicemail notifications via pagers, short message service (SMS) devices or other wireless devices.

Our fax to email feature allows subscribers to receive faxes through the subscriber's one number and have them delivered to one or more email mailboxes. The subscriber then has the power to determine if and where the fax is printed. Our fax-to-email service converts faxes to email attachments, and allows subscribers to view them on-screen, print, save, or forward them. This functionality essentially eliminates the need for fax machines and/or dedicated fax lines, and it also minimizes the privacy concerns with respect to communal fax machines. Our software is also capable of providing fax mail notifications via pagers, short messaging service devices or other wireless devices.

Our single unified mailbox feature allows subscribers to retrieve, store and manage all of their messages. Our service is email neutral (meaning that it does not matter which email software a subscriber actually uses), so any email application on the market today can be configured as the subscriber's unified mailbox. In addition, subscribers are not forced to change their e-mail addresses.

Our find-me and follow-me feature allows a subscriber to program our service to locate them at up to five different telephone numbers according to the subscriber's personal preference. For example, they may divide their working time between the office and home. To be sure they do not miss any important calls, they could program the find-me and follow-me feature so that any incoming calls are directed first to their office, then to home and finally to their cell phone. The search numbers can be arranged in any desired order and can be changed as circumstances change.

Our call-announce and call-screening feature allows subscribers to identify the caller and then decide whether or not to answer a particular call or direct it to their unified mailbox. Our message notification feature notifies subscribers of new or urgent messages by voicemail, email, pager or any wireless device. Our speech recognition integration interface allows service providers to select their preferred speech recognition vendor as our enhanced messaging software can interface with all vendors specifications.

The enhanced messaging platform is a combination of our enhanced messaging software suite installed on Intel-based commercial-off-the-shelf hardware in the service provider's preferred configuration. We can provide our enhanced messaging software only, or, we, with our partner, can provide a complete turnkey solution including complete hosting, hardware, system configuration, migration, operating support system integration and billing support system integration. In addition, customers may license one or more of the incremental services or choose to license our entire enhanced messaging software suite.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, sales consisted of the recognition of deferred revenue from the prior year. Of this total, product sales represented 36% and services represented 64%. In the year ended December 31, 2002 product sales represented 97% and services represented 3% of total sales.

We provide a selection of pricing models for customers who choose to purchase our enhanced messaging software as follows:

We, with our partners, also provide a fee based turnkey solution including hardware, system configuration, migration, operating support system integration and billing support system integration system.

We have special pricing structures in place for strategic partners, system integrators and OEM distributors that resell our enhanced messaging software to the telecommunication companies.

Currently we are focussing on one primary adopter of our enhanced messaging software: telecommunication companies.

Telecommunication companies represent our target customer opportunity. "Tier I" telecommunication companies, defined to include providers of messaging services to 100,000 - 35,000,000 end users, in particular tend to have large existing installed bases of voicemail users. The customer base of many of these telecommunication companies using legacy voicemail systems continues to grow at a rate of between 10% and 30% per year as a result of the growth in the use of wireless telecommunication devices. Currently, the Tier I telecommunication companies are looking for methods to limit spending in legacy voicemail systems and methods to cost effectively implement enhanced messaging technology.

We believe that Tier I telecommunication companies will no longer be willing to invest in legacy systems which cannot be upgraded to offer enhanced messaging services and will therefore be required to replace such legacy systems. We also believe that their decision will be driven by the demand from current and potential subscribers that they offer and implement enhanced messaging technology services. We anticipate that some of these telecommunication companies will install our enhanced messaging software and migrate their current voicemail customers over to our enhanced messaging software without interruption in service. We then expect that these telecommunication companies would begin to incrementally market the value-added service available as part of our enhanced messaging software, such as our real time call connect, voicemail to email, fax to email and unified mailbox service offerings. To support our customers, we have developed significant research that identifies end users' percept ions of enhanced messaging features, their pricing tolerances and willingness to purchase such additional enhanced messaging features. With our research, we can assist these telecommunication companies in effectively marketing our enhanced messaging services to their current and potential customer base.

We currently believe that there may be further opportunities for the deployment of our enhanced messaging services through the consolidation presently occurring amongst telecommunications companies. As such telecommunications companies merge and consolidate, their customer base and technology will need to be consolidated and standardized and therefore we believe that there likely will be further opportunities and demand for our enhanced messaging software.

We intend to distribute our enhanced messaging software through strategic partners, system integrators and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) distributors, who will sell our product directly to telecommunication companies. To date, all of our sales have been through direct sales to companies. The core skills of our company lie in developing enhanced messaging software to meet the needs of large Tier 1 telecommunication companies. Although to date we have distributed all of our enhanced messaging software by direct sales, it is not our intention to build a geographically dispersed sales, support, or professional services organization. Our sales and marketing efforts will remain primarily directed at building relationships with strategic partners, system integrators and OEM distributors.

The complexity of the current voicemail systems used by telecommunication companies requires not only a sound understanding of the systems capabilities but a thorough understanding of where and how these systems can interconnect with other systems. There are very few companies that have earned the trust of the largest telecommunication companies to deal directly with the systems and technologies that are fundamental to the basic business of a telecommunication company. These companies include large switch manufacturers and large system integrators and consultants. We recognize this reality and understand that these relationships have been forged over an extended period of time. As a result of these established relationships, we anticipate that telecommunication companies will purchase their technology directly from these "trusted" companies; our partners. We are therefore dedicated to building relationships with these strategic partners or system integrators. We anticipate that telecommuni cation companies will purchase our enhanced messaging software directly from these strategic partners or system integrators. The strategic partner or system integrator will assist in installation, maintenance and support of our enhanced messaging software. We will play a supporting role to these strategic partners, system integrators and original equipment manufacturer distributors. We intend to limit the number of relationships we enter into with strategic partners and systems integrators, distribution partners and original equipment manufacturer distributors. The key in this area of the business is the quality of the partner, not the quantity.

We will also target original equipment manufacturer distributors who wish to include our enhanced messaging software as a component on a messaging system that they manufacture and distribute. The original equipment manufacturer distributor will be responsible for all selling, distribution, support and maintenance of our enhanced messaging software. The original equipment manufacturer distributor may sell the product directly to the telecommunication companies utilizing their own sales force and distribution network.

There are some target markets where our company has no specific representation through strategic partners, system integrators and OEM distributors. In these markets, we will sell directly to the customer.

Service providers now have the ability to operate our software on Intel processor based hardware made and distributed by commercial-off-the-shelf hardware vendors such as IBM, DELL, HP and others. This provides our strategic partners and system integrators (many have strategic relationships with certain hardware vendors) and telecommunication companies with comfort that they can choose their preferred hardware on which to operate our enhanced messaging software.

We believe international markets should offer us strong opportunities in the long-term. Mature markets are seeking replacement technologies to enhance and replace legacy voicemail systems that are reaching the end of their useful lives. Emerging markets are being fuelled by the very basic need for high performance and low cost telecommunications infrastructure.

We perceive a specific opportunity with telecommunications companies that are either introducing messaging services to their markets for the first time, or are seeking to supplant incumbent, aging, or manufacturer discontinued platforms with next generation technology that creates new revenue opportunities through the delivery of enhanced features and functionality.

We are targeting both incumbent and emerging telecommunications companies. We are engaged with original equipment manufacturers and systems integration partners in these international markets as a means to further expand and facilitate market penetration and the acquisition of market share. Key attributes of our enhanced messaging software that facilitate this expansion are the user-friendly interfaces, our multi-language support, and our broad support for many variants of telephony connectivity.

In 2003, we experienced interest from our international markets. As we continue to offer telecommunication companies seeking to cost-effectively replace legacy messaging systems with the opportunity to enhance and expand existing systems with the deployment of our enhanced messaging system, and by delivering an enhanced messaging system to companies initiating their first deployment of messaging services, we believe our presence in, and revenues from, non-North American markets will expand in the coming years.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for financial information by geographic area.

Well-established suppliers such as Lucent and Comverse currently dominate the Tier I telecommunication company messaging market. These competitors have provided voice mail services to both wired and wireless telecommunication companies since the early 1980's. In evaluating the competitive landscape, we believe our closest competitors are companies offering voicemail and enhanced messaging systems built to satisfy the high capacity and high resiliency needs of the telecommunications company environment. Lucent and Comverse are also developing a legacy voicemail replacement product. In this segment, we have identified three primary competitors: Lucent, Comverse and IP Unity.

All of our primary competitors and some of our other competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, sales, marketing and other resources than us and have achieved greater name recognition for their existing products and technologies than we have. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully increase our market penetration or our overall share of the basic voicemail and enhanced messaging marketplace. Our results of operations could be adversely impacted if we are unable to effectively increase our share of this market.

Our success depends in large part upon the rate at which Tier I telecommunication companies incorporate our products into their systems. If we were not successful in increasing the use of our products by the leading Tier I telecommunication companies, there would be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

No assurance can be given that our competitors will not develop new technologies or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or performance features. We expect our competitors to offer new and existing products at prices necessary to gain or retain market share. Certain of our competitors have substantial financial resources, which may enable them to withstand sustained price competition or a market downturn better than us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the pricing of our products, or otherwise, in the future.

We compete on the basis of price and product completeness/performance. We have a number of competitive advantages over our competitors as follows:

Our enhanced messaging software provides all of the following features:

We are not aware of any competitor that has developed a messaging solution that provides all of these features, that incorporates the ability to emulate existing voicemail technology, provides advanced unified communications features and capabilities and provides migration solution from legacy voicemail systems at a lower total cost of ownership.

The telecommunication industry is slowly realizing that it is currently utilizing aging technology to provide voice-messaging services. This technology dates back to older voicemail systems developed in the 1980s and is in need of replacement. The telecommunications companies realize that these older systems require replacement and are currently looking for next generation messaging platforms and solutions that will allow them to bring to market new product offerings that are being demanded by the marketplace. In particular, Tier 1 telecommunications companies, incumbent telephone companies, are moving towards decisions regarding replacement of legacy voice mail systems. Part of the reason for this is the current and expected demands of businesses and individuals to better manage their various communications devices. Market drivers include subscriber demand for new services, telecommunications companies demand for lower priced technology and manufacturer discontinuances of existing voi ce messaging technology.

Currently, the market is being serviced by plain old voicemail systems, and with a small number of carriers offering enhanced messaging features and functionality. These new telecommunications companies who are offering these features are having limited success in deployment and penetration. There are very few telecommunications companies offering new features to date despite all such companies expressing interest in offering such enhanced features. The largest barrier is the migration of voicemail subscribers from the aging legacy voicemail technology to new enhanced messaging technology. Being able to complete this migration in a cost effective and non-disruptive manner to existing customers is of top priority for the entire telecommunications industry.

For those telecommunications companies who are first entering the market of offering these new enhanced features, they are offering such features as new service offerings to their current subscribers. Issues exist around marketing new services like market education, promotion, advertising, and expense.

10

The following services have been marketed as new services by a number of telecommunications companies:

There has been limited market acceptance of this model and the telecommunications market is looking for methods to incrementally market these new services to their existing customers in service packages and as add-ons to existing services (like voicemail). The industry is still in its infancy stage with regards to these offerings and we foresee a large opportunity over the next six to twelve months as telecommunications companies make technology choices and begin migrating subscribers from old voicemail technology to new technology solutions.

In October 2001, NBTel, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aliant Inc. which is one of Canada's leading high-tech companies providing integrated communications and information technology solutions, installed our enhanced messaging software suite and launched its fax-to-e-mail solution.

In 2003, our revenues consisted of the recognition of deferred revenue of the prior year. Of this total, revenue from Aliant, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprised 39% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003. Sales to Aliant, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprised 84% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2002 and 56% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2001.

Aliant has not purchased any further software licenses from us since June, 2002 and we do not expect any further sales to Aliant in the year ended December 31, 2004.

In order to broaden and diversify our customer base, we have been seeking out strategic partners to assist with the sales and marketing of our products. We have been in contact with several potential strategic partners and have entered into a system integration agreement, and an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sales agreement with Avaya. 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, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected if we lost any one of these significant customers.

Our research and development team is primarily located in our facility located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The research and development team also has a research analyst located in an office at the TARA (Telecom Applications Research Alliance) facility in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Our research and development team designs, develops, tests, documents, and localizes our enhanced messaging product. The research and development team's feature and release direction is governed by all strategic product stakeholders. Each feature is detailed in written business requirements created by our business requirements team. A change control board also directs the lower level problems and enhancements for all other development work.  Releases are coordinated with our marketing, sales, and system integration/partner support departments to ensure timely delivery of the grouped features to our partners, clients, and ultimately our target market. Appropriate technology is chosen for all work after performing a technical analysis of each requested feature and also ensuring a match for that release's system requirements. All development work is carried out with reviews and decision gates as part of an overall product

development process. The research and development team follows industry best practices for software engineering and encourages continuous process improvement. The research and development team delivered version 3.1 of our enhanced messaging software on November 7, 2003. The enhanced messaging development team's focus for the v3.1 release was massive scalability, high availability support, system integrator support, software installation flexibility, automatic speech recognition support, real-time billing support, and many other voicemail replacement features. The team worked on the product's next release for the remainder of the fiscal 2003 year which, upon its general availability in 2004, will have several infrastructure focussed features. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $725,456, $1,058,643 and $4,618,284 respectively.

We rely on trade secrets to protect our intellectual property. We do not have any registered patents, trademarks, or copyrights. We execute confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our employees and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. We do not have and do not intend to apply for patents on our products. 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 may be out of date by the time the patent is 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. We do not have non-compete agreements with our employees who are employed on an "at-will" basis. Therefore, 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.

As of March 1, 2004, we employed 19 people, 4 of who are engaged in marketing and sales, 11 in research, development and support, and 4 in management and administration. We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and we consider relations with our employees to be excellent.

Our predecessor company, Voice Mobility Inc., was incorporated in 1993, as a British Columbia corporation. In December 1997, the shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. entered into a transaction with Acrex Ventures Ltd., an inactive company listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange with no business operations, through which the Voice Mobility Inc. business plan would be financed. Prior to entering into the agreement with Voice Mobility Inc., Acrex had approximately 150 shareholders, excluding participants in certain Acrex private placements discussed below.

The proposed transaction with Voice Mobility Inc. was intended to be a "reverse takeover" by Voice Mobility Inc., and characterized as a recapitalization of Voice Mobility Inc. for accounting purposes.

Between December 1997 and March 1999, Acrex consummated a series of four private placements undertaken in Canada, raising an aggregate of $1.4 million (CDN$2,022,500). In each private placement, investors were offered units in the capital of Acrex consisting of Acrex common shares and warrants to acquire Acrex common shares. Pending regulatory approval and finalization of the transaction between Acrex and Voice Mobility Inc., the net proceeds of such private placements of approximately $1.26 million were loaned to Voice Mobility Inc. to fund research and development activities, operations, and working capital.

On August 30, 1998, Acrex applied to the Vancouver Stock Exchange to approve its acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc. as the basis for its first business operations. However, by March 31, 1999, the application had not been approved by the Vancouver Stock Exchange, being still in process, and the share acquisition agreement between

12

Acrex and the Voice Mobility Inc. shareholders expired. Because of these continuing delays, management of Acrex and Voice Mobility Inc. decided to pursue other sources of financing to expedite the strategy.

Thus, in March 1999, as an alternative to financing Voice Mobility Inc.'s business plan through Acrex, the directors and certain principals and shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. and Acrex initiated discussions with Equity Capital Group, Inc., an unrelated Nevada corporation with its common shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The discussions were focused on structuring a transaction in which the combined shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. and Acrex and the investors in the Acrex private placements would acquire control of Equity Capital. Because the Acrex private placements contemplated the combination of Voice Mobility Inc. and the financing of Voice Mobility's business plan, the principals of Voice Mobility Inc. and Acrex effectively worked in concert as the effective shareholder or "stakeholder" group implementing the Voice Mobility business plan and the proposed reverse takeover. Further, the three directors controlling Voice Mobility Inc., were also directors of Acrex and effec tively controlled the board of directors of Acrex.

Equity Capital's acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc. was intended to mirror Acrex's application to the Vancouver Stock Exchange in August 1998 to provide the investors in the Acrex private placements with essentially the same economic position in Equity Capital as they would have expected in the acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc. by Acrex. This would be accomplished by mirroring the capital structure of Equity Capital to the proposed capital structure of Acrex as proposed to the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Thus, the number of common shares and warrants of Equity Capital which each investor in the Acrex private placements would receive was intended to mirror the number of shares and warrants to have been received in the form of units of Acrex.

On April 1, 1999, certain principals of Voice Mobility Inc. took the first steps to implement the Voice Mobility business plan through Equity Capital by entering into a stock purchase agreement with Equity Capital and its majority shareholder to acquire an aggregate of 8,418,000 common shares of Equity Capital, representing over 90% of the outstanding common stock of Equity Capital for a cash purchase price of $200,000. Of such 8,418,000 shares, 8,293,000 shares were newly issued shares and 125,000 shares were acquired from Equity Capital's majority shareholder. The $200,000 purchase price was placed in trust with Equity Capital's attorney subject to the closing of Equity Capital's acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc. (which was consummated on June 24, 1999 as described below) and other conditions. Among others, the April 1, 1999 agreement also contemplated that Equity Capital would be a inactive corporation, with no assets or liabilities. From April 1999 to June 24, 1999, Equity Capital com pleted the assignment of its remaining assets and liabilities to Pioneer Growth Corporation, an unrelated third party. The 8,418,000 shares of Equity Capital were held in trust by attorneys-in-fact for the purchasers subject to the closing of the acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc.

Following April 1, 1999, the original shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. were advised that they could face significant Canadian income tax liability as a result of a cross-border transaction with the U.S. entity Equity Capital. The shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. immediately thereafter began to seek legal counsel and tax advisors with sufficient professional experience in such dealings. It took some time to find and retain qualified securities counsel and tax accountants with experience in such transactions. Once the tax accountants and securities lawyers were consulted it was determined that the most effective means of minimizing personal Canadian taxes for the Voice Mobility Inc. shareholders and to comply with Canadian tax legislation, required the formation of a new corporation, Voice Mobility Canada Limited, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equity Capital. The formation of Voice Mobility Canada took time to complete because certain special share rights had to be properly structure d and drafted, various name searches needed to be conducted, and the company needed to be incorporated and capitalized.

Thus, on June 24, 1999, Equity Capital, through its newly created wholly-owned subsidiary, Voice Mobility Canada, acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Voice Mobility Inc. In such acquisition, the shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. exchanged their shares of Voice Mobility Inc. for 6,600,000 exchangeable shares of Voice Mobility Canada. Each Voice Mobility Canada exchangeable share is exchangeable for one of our company's common shares at any time at the option of the shareholder, and will be exchanged no later than July 1, 2009, and is entitled to the same voting, dividend and other rights as one of our common shares. In addition, a share of preferred voting stock was issued to the transfer agent in trust for the holders of the Voice Mobility Canada exchangeable shares, to provide a mechanism for holders of the Voice Mobility Canada exchangeable shares to exercise their voting rights. We consider each exchangeable share as equivalent to a share of its common stock. Concurrent with this transaction, Equity Capital changed its name to Voice Mobility International, Inc.

13

Following the completion of the acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc., on July 1, 1999, the $200,000 purchase price for the 8,418,000 common shares of Equity Capital was released by Equity Capital's attorney.

Following completion of the acquisition of Voice Mobility Inc., we took the next steps in fulfilling Acrex's obligations to its investors under the Acrex private placements. The 8,418,000 shares of Equity Capital held by the attorneys-in-fact were issued as follows: 5,010,907 shares were issued to the Acrex private placement investors, with each of the Acrex private placement investors allowed to participate in such offering substantially pro rata in relation to their participation in Acrex; 2,256,093 shares were issued to certain original shareholders of Acrex; 101,000 shares were issued to an original shareholder of Voice Mobility Inc.; and 1,050,000 shares were issued to certain finders and outside professional advisors who assisted in the consummation of the combined transaction.

On June 30, 1999, we completed our undertaking to fulfill Acrex's obligations to our investors under the Acrex private placements by issuing warrants to acquire an aggregate of 4,793,000 shares of our common stock to the investors in the Acrex private placements. Such warrants were issued to the investors substantially pro rata to the number of warrants the investors were to have received in each of the Acrex private placements, at the same exercise prices, as adjusted for the currency translation from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. Thus, upon completion of transactions, the original investors in the Acrex private placements received, in the aggregate through the April 1999 offering of common stock and the June 1999 offering of warrants, substantially the equivalent economic terms in the form of our company's common stock and warrants, which they would have received in the Acrex Units. As a result, Acrex discharged its obligations under the private placements.

Upon completion of such transactions at June 24, 1999, the stakeholders in Voice Mobility and Acrex (consisting of the original shareholders of Voice Mobility Inc. (43%), certain shareholders of Acrex (15%), and the investors in the Acrex private placement (32%) held approximately 90% of the capital stock of our company, thereby constituting a recapitalization of Voice Mobility Inc. through the acquisition of Equity Capital.

Much of the information included in this annual 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.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this annual 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.

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 $3.3 and $3.9 million to carry out our business plan in the next twelve months, and we will need to raise additional funds to:

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 and our ability to generate revenues would be negatively affected.

Since inception through December 31, 2003, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $36 million. Our loss from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 was $2.8 million. We also incurred a loss from operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. 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 in our independent chartered accountants' report on the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements. Our audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

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 proprietary 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

15

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 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.

In 2003, our revenues consisted of the recognition of deferred revenue of the prior year. Of this total, revenue from Aliant, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprised 39% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003. Sales to Aliant, Inc. and its subsidiaries comprised 84% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2002 and 56% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2001. 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 Lucent, Comverse and IP Unity 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.

16

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.

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.

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

17

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 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.

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 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 st ock 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.

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.

On December 28, 2001, we issued to Innovatia a promissory note in the amount of $1,707,989 (CDN$2,720,142) of which $2,077,855 (CDN$2,693,940) remains outstanding at December 31, 2003. The amount payable each quarter is the lesser of $174,838 (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 January 1, 2004, the maximum amount payable to Aliant was $355,303 (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 substantial additional dilution in the future. Refer to Note 13 to the audited consolidated financial statements for more information on the outstanding note to Innovatia.

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.

Our principal executive offices are located at 100 - 4190 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5C 6A8. We lease the office facility, which is approximately 2,000 square feet in size, at a basic rate of $19,623 (CDN$25,441) per year plus expenses. This lease expires on March 31, 2005.

We also lease an engineering facility located at 20 - 3318 Oak Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8X 1R1, which is 8,784 square feet in size, at a basic rate of $69,456 (CDN$109,572) per year plus expenses. This lease expires on May 31, 2004. Upon expiration of this lease, we will move our engineering facility, to a new space located at 3^rd floor - 1001 Wharf Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 1T6. The new space is 4,050 square feet in size, and will be leased at a basic rate of $35,215 (CDN$47,588) per year plus expenses. This lease expires on December 31, 2008.

We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our needs through the end of the year ended December 31, 2004. Should we require additional space at that time, or prior thereto, we believe that such space can be secured on commercially reasonable terms.

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 our company (then named Equity Capital Group, Inc.), to indemnify us against any claims or liabilities that existed prior to the reverse acquisition by Voice Mobility Inc. of our company (then named Equity Capital Group, Inc.), 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 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

19

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 Mr. Cashman. 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 approximately $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. We are also seeking costs from Mr. Stewart in this matter. In October 2002 and June 2003, the parties conducted examinations for discovery. A trial was scheduled for November 2003 but the trial had been adjourned. A trial date is scheduled for May 31, 2004.

Other than as set out above, to our knowledge we are not a party to any other litigation as at March 1, 2004. 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.

There were no matters submitted to a vote of our security holders either through solicitation of proxies or otherwise in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

Our common stock was listed and commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on June 30, 1999 under the symbol "VMII" and on the Toronto Stock Exchange on July 16, 2001 under the symbol "VMY". Since June 30, 1999, trading in our common stock has been limited and sporadic. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Toronto Stock Exchange:

Our common shares are issued in registered form. Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 401 - 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3B9 (telephone: (604) 661-0271; facsimile (604) 685-3694) is the registrar and transfer agent for our common shares.

On March 1, 2004, the shareholders' list for our common stock showed 127 registered stockholders and 37,065,391 shares issued and outstanding. The closing sale price for our common stock on March 1, 2004, as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $0.90. On March 1, 2004, there were 3,350,000 exchangeable shares of Voice Mobility Canada Limited issued and outstanding. These exchangeable shares are exchangeable, at no additional consideration, into shares of our common stock at any time.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we did not pay any cash dividends to any holders of our equity securities.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and have no present intention of paying any dividends on the shares of our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, for use in our operations and in the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined from time to time by our board of directors.

The following sets forth certain information concerning securities which were sold or issued by us during the quarter ended December 31, 2003 without the registration of the securities under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on exemptions from such registration requirements.

On November 15, 2003, we issued a Series E promissory note to one shareholder in the aggregate amount of $115,181 (CDN$150,000) payable on demand. The note is subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly.

On November 24, 2003, we issued a Series E promissory note to one shareholder in the aggregate amount of $113,705 (CDN$150,000) payable on demand. The note is subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly.

On December 29, 2003, we issued two Series E promissory notes to two separate shareholders in the aggregate amount of $228,868 (CDN$300,000) payable on demand. The note is subject to a repayment premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal balance and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which is payable quarterly.

All of the Series E promissory notes were issued in "offshore transactions" to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

We adopted our current stock option plan, entitled the Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan on April 25, 2001 and approved by our shareholders on June 14, 2001. The following table provides a summary of the number of options granted under our stock option plan, the weighted average exercise price and the number of options remaining available for issuance all as at December 31, 2003.

21

(1) The maximum number of options issuable under our stock option plan is 10,000,000, less 954,455 options that have been granted and exercised under the plan and less 500,000 options which the Toronto Stock Exchange required that we remove from the plan in connection with a transaction with Aliant Inc. in December 2001.

We did not purchase any of our shares of common stock or other securities during the year ended December 31, 2003.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The selected consolidated financial data presented below for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included at Item 7 of this annual report on Form 10-K. The statement of operations data and the balance sheet data are derived from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All amounts in the table are in thousands, except per share amounts.

(1) See Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

(2) Comparability of Results - The consolidated selected financial data set forth above is derived from the continuing financial statements of Voice Mobility Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Canada Business Corporation Act in 1993. Through a series of transactions in June 1999, Voice Mobility Inc. was recapitalized and acquired the net assets of Voice Mobility International, Inc. (formerly Equity Capital Group, Inc.), an inactive United States company whose common shares were quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Voice Mobility Inc.

OVERVIEW

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated audited financial statements and the notes to consolidated audited financial statements included elsewhere in this filing. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

We are engaged in the development and sales and marketing of unified voice messaging software through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Voice Mobility Inc. and Voice Mobility (US) Inc. Our enhanced messaging

23

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, 2003, 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, we shifted our sales model from a direct sales model to a channel partner model. A channel partner is a party who will purchase our product for resale to telecommunication companies. This fundamentally shifted the way our company was structured. Instead of selling and supporting the customer directly, we will utilize the channel partner to conduct the sales and support activities for our enhanced messaging software. This shift in our structure allowed us to reduce expenses in the areas of support and training. We reduced the number of employees by eight and we reduced expenses across the company after a comprehensive review of our expenditures. This allowed us to stretch the funds we received through equity and debt financing to execute on our business plan.

Below is a table summarizing the percentage change for each of our departments over the past three years.

Sales from the recognition of deferred revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were $57,967 compared to sales of $699,937 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, representing a 92% 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 were from recognition of deferred revenue from 2000 and support services. Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 included software license sales, recognition of deferred revenue from 2000, mailbox subscriptions, and support services. Sales to two customers comprised 74% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Sales to Innovatia Inc., an existing shareholder of our company, and NBTel, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Aliant Inc., comprised 84% of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we derived 74% of our

24

sales from our Canadian operations (98% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002) and 26% from sales from our U.S. operations (2% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002).

Of the $641,970 decrease in sales, $586,265 was attributable to sales of our software license to one customer, Aliant Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprised 84% of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we did not make any further sales to Aliant. We shifted our sales approach from direct sales to sales through channel partners. During the year, our focus was to establish and develop a relationship with a channel partner that would provide us with opportunities for sales to Tier I telecommunication companies. We hope that we have established such a relationship with Avaya Inc. We have not generated any sales through channels to date.

Cost of sales were $nil and $62,818 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, representing a 100% decrease. We did not record any cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 as all revenue earned in the year was recognized deferred revenue. Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was comprised of the royalty costs, any applicable selling commissions, language translation costs and 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).

The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to a decrease of $44,585 in royalty costs related to sales of our software license to one customer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Total operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2,898,909 compared to $4,419,528 for the previous year. The decrease in total costs of $1,520,619, 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, an aggregate of eight employees were laid off which resulted in a net aggregate monthly savings of approximately $50,000. In addition to the layoffs, all employees agreed to a rollback on salaries of between 2.5% to 5% during the year. Approximately $350,000 was attributed to a reduction in the amortization on our property and equipment and approximately $200,000 was attributed to a reduction on the use of professionals. The total cost of the restructuring plan for the fiscal year ended Dec ember 31, 2003 was $52,366.

Our sales and marketing costs consists primarily of personnel, advertising, promotions, public relations, trade shows and business development. Total costs were $665,801 and $1,103,112 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 respectively representing a decrease of 40% in sales and marketing costs.

The decrease of $437,311 in sales and marketing expense between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 is a result of a decrease in sales and marketing personnel, advertising and promotions, travel, consulting fees, and general sales and marketing expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses is a result of our shift from a direct sales model to a channel partner model. This shift will allow us to utilize the brand of our channel partner to access the persons making the purchase decisions at the Tier I telecommunication companies. The shift resulted in the reduction in staff which we employed for sales support and training. From a sales perspective, we believe that this shift will allow for greater revenue potential over time. The primary reason for the decrease in costs is a result of a significant cost reduction plan. We decreased personnel in our sales and marketing department by 3 persons between December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

25

Our research and development costs were $725,456 and $1,058,643 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $333,187 or 31%. Included in these costs are employee stock option compensation cost of $nil and $21,766 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $311,421 (exclusive of stock based compensation) between the fiscal years ended December 31, 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 significant cost reduction plan. We have decreased personnel in our research and development department by 5 developers between December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003.

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 $1,507,562 and $2,257,773 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, representing a decrease of $750,211 or 33% in our general and administrative costs. Included in these costs are stock option compensation cost of $60,062 and $nil for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The decrease of $810,273 (exclusive of stock based compensation) in general and administrative costs between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, is primarily a result of a decrease in personnel costs, professional and legal costs.

Interest income was $5 and $7,134 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, 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 December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003.

Our interest expense was $629,043 and $133,434 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in interest expense resulted from the increase in the issuance of debt securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, including the Series A, B, C, D and E promissory notes payable.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a $241,636 loss on debt restructuring as described more fully in Note 7 to the audited consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2003, we have $5,387,000 United States tax net operating losses that expire in the years 2019 through to 2022. As at December 31, 2003 we have Canadian tax net operating losses of approximately $19,023,000 that will expire in the years 2004 through 2010. Non-capital losses of our Canadian operating subsidiary Voice Mobility Inc., are restricted by Canadian Income Tax law and may not be available entirely for use in future years pursuant to Section 111(4) of the Canadian Income Tax Act.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. For fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively, we recognized a valuation allowance equal to deferred tax assets for which realization is uncertain.

26

Our net loss was $3,711,616 and $3,908,709 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The primary reason for the decrease in net loss is due to the implementation of our restructuring plan that involved the reduction in personnel between December 2002 to December 2003 of 8 employees and their related costs. Along with the cost reduction plan, we recorded a loss on debt restructuring of $241,636 that took place on September 9, 2003.

Since inception through December 31, 2003, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $36 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.

Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were $699,937 compared to $358,191 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, representing a 95% increase in sales. The increase in sales is attributed to the increase in the volume of goods sold (and not to increases in price) compared to the same period last year. Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 included software license sales, recognition of deferred revenue from 2000, mailbox subscriptions, and support services. Sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 included software license sales, mailbox subscriptions, computer hardware and support services.

The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to $586,265 in sales of our software license to one customer, Aliant Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprised 84% of revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. In June 2002, we entered into a three year software license agreement with Aliant Telecom Inc. Aliant is the parent of Innovatia Inc., a shareholder of the company. The license agreement is a joint development agreement with Aliant involving voicemail replacement, product development and product deployment strategies to help us develop a first class carrier grade unified communication software product to be marketed to carriers worldwide. 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 payme nt will be recognized as revenue when future product and services are delivered.

In April 2000, we entered into a license agreement with Ikano Communications, Inc. and received $250,000 for the installation and set up of our unified communications software. The $250,000 was deferred and is being recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the agreement. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we recognized as revenue $83,333 of the deferred amount.

Cost of sales were $62,818 and $49,999 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively, representing a 26% increase in costs of sales during 2002. Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 is comprised of the royalty costs, any applicable selling commissions, language translation costs and amortization of the telephony hardware, software licenses, and installation costs of previous versions of our product at existing customer locations. Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 is comprised of telephony hardware 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).

27

The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to $44,585 in royalty costs related to sales of our software license to one customer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue has decreased steadily from 31.5%, 14% and 9.0% for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales is attributed to the increase of sales of software licenses that have high margins versus sales of previous versions of our product (which used to be sold as a complete product including hardware and software) that have low margins. Since 1999, we have evolved our sales model from a systems centric focus which involves the sale of complete hardware and software systems that requires a significant capital commitment to a software centric focus which involves the sale of primary software only.

Total operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $4,419,528 compared to $10,479,827 for the previous year. The decrease in total costs of $6,060,299, or 58%, 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, an aggregate of 27 employees were laid off which resulted in a net aggregate monthly savings of approximately $87,000. The total cost of the restructuring plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was $68,000.

We decreased personnel in our sales and marketing department by 12 persons between April 1, 2001 and December 31, 2002.

Our research and development costs were $1,058,643 and $4,618,284 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively representing a decrease of 77% in research and development costs.

The decrease of $3,323,473 (exclusive of stock based compensation) between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 is primarily a result of a decrease in research and development costs, personnel costs, leased office space and utility costs, data and voice transmission costs and general research and development costs.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, we incurred $1,707,989 of research and development expenses as a result of the February 27, 2001 agreement with Innovatia Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aliant Inc., to develop a carrier-classified unified communications product. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, no such expense was incurred.

The primary reason for the remaining decrease in costs of $1,614,484 is a result of a significant cost reduction plan. We have decreased personnel in our research and development department by 19 developers between April 1, 2001 and December 31, 2002.

28

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 $2,257,773 and $3,623,980 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively representing a 38% decrease in our general and administrative costs. These costs reflect employee stock option compensation cost of $nil and $45,633 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. A further $nil and $125,250 of stock options compensation cost were recorded for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively for stock option grants awarded to non-employees in exchange for consulting services.

The decrease of $1,195,324 (exclusive of stock based compensation) in general and administrative costs between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, is primarily a result of a decrease in personnel costs, professional and legal costs. In 2001, we filed a registration statement with the SEC and a prospectus with Canadian regulatory authorities, which resulted in professional fees and legal costs of approximately $300,000. The remaining decrease in general and administrative costs are a result of decreases in personnel in our administrative department by five (5), the related costs and our reduced usage of consultants.

Interest income was $7,134 and $160,095 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively.

The decrease in interest income is a result of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002.

Our interest expense was $133,434 and $281,017 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 respectively. Our interest expense is primarily related to short-term debt and decreased in fiscal 2002 due to the lower overall cost of our financing in 2002.

At December 31, 2002, we have $5,459,000 United States tax net operating losses that expire in the years 2019 through to 2022. As at December 31, 2002 we have Canadian tax net operating losses of approximately $14,631,000 that will expire in the years 2002 through 2009.

As of December 31, 2003, we had $85,636 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $1,324,471.

29

Our operating activities resulted in net cash outflows of $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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.

Investing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $8,292 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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. We received proceeds of $14,290 from the sale of property and equipment and spent $5,998 on capital purchased during the period. 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 December 31, 2003, we did not have any material commitments for future capital expenditures.

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 $101,866 (CDN$150,000) on each of December 30, 2002, January 31, 2003 and February 28, 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 $1,928,268 (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 $1,928,268 (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.

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

30

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 order 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 the section on Restructuring of Debt and Preferred Shares below and Notes 7, 8, 9 and 10 to the audited consolidated 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 our company. 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 $0.33 (CDN$0.425) per share. The proceeds were 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 $0.33 (CDN$0.425) per share. The proceeds were used for general working capital purposes.

On November 15, 2003, we issued one Series E promissory note to one shareholder in the aggregate amount of $115,181 (CDN$150,000) payable on demand.

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

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.

31

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.

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.

On December 28, 2001, we agreed with Innovatia 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 December 31, 2003 was 4.5%) and is repayable in quarterly instalments until repaid in full. The amount payable each quarter is the lesser of $174,838 (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 $174,838 (CDN$226,678), we will carry forward the difference between the invoiced amount and $174,838 (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 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 $0.58 (CDN$0.75) per share, and the value of the b alance 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 $175,838 (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 $1.20 (CDN$1.56).

On January 1, 2004, the maximum amount payable to Aliant was $355,303 (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 2,517,701 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 agreed to 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 years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we recognized as revenue $22,381 (CDN$32,237) and $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 and 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 our company's overall business and financial condition.

We believe Innovatia has not complied with the terms of its agreements with our company and as a result we are currently in discussions with Innovatia to resolve the matter.

(1) Represents the obligations in connection with the outstanding Series C, D and E promissory notes and the promissory note payable to Innovatia.

(2) Represents the leases of our current office and development premises.

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.

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

33

negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2004. Management projects that we will require an additional $3.3 to $3.9 million to fund our ongoing operating expenses, working capital requirements and extinguish our debt for the next twelve months, broken down as follows:

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.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003, we raised $1,181,480 (CDN$1,574,343) from the issuance of 2,333,521 common shares and 466,875 warrants. On March 4, 2004, we issued an aggregate of 900,000 units with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant for net proceeds of $764,769 (CDN$1,021,502). During the months of January and February, 2004, we issued an aggregate of 1,399,771 shares of our common stock from the exercise of 1,344,333 warrants and 55,438 options for gross proceeds of $416,711 (CDN$552,841).

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 by such providers.

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, 2003, 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

34

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.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our 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.

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".

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.

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.

35

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 16(d) to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities which 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. Financial Interpretation No. 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The initial adoption of Financial Interpretation No. 46 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, Financial Interpretation No. 46R is effective for our fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2004. Our company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of Financial Interpretation No. 46 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For existing financial instruments created before the effective date, any impact upon the adoption of SFAS 150 shall be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. The initial adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a materia l impact on our company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 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.

Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003 and 2002

Voice Mobility International, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation engaged in the development and sales and marketing of enhanced messaging software. 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 financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 a net loss of $3,711,616 for the year ended December 31, 2003 [2002 - $3,908,709; 2001 - $10,292,557] and has a working capital deficiency of $1,324,471 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. In 2003, the Company received gross proceeds in excess of $2.2 million in connection with the issuance of debt and equity financings. In addition, as of March 4, 2004, the Company has received gross proceeds in excess of $1.1 million on the completion of an equity private placement and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants (Note 21). Management plans to continue to seek other sources of financing on favorable terms, however, there can be no assurance that any such commitment can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Management believes it has implemented significant cost reduct ions and expects to keep its operating costs to a minimum until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

44

In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Voice Mobility Inc., Voice Mobility (US), Inc., Voice Mobility Canada Limited, an inactive company and VM Sub Limited, also an inactive company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

45

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2") and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101").

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 contract, 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 the Company has a standard business practice and a history of successful collection under the original payment terms.

For software arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company allocates 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. The Company's 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 SAB 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, the Company defers revenue recognition until such time as the contingencies are resolved.

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

These consolidated financial statements have been presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of the Company, which are denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at the year end exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated using a weighted average exchange rate for the applicable period. Any resulting exchange gains and losses are presented as cumulative foreign currency translation gains (losses) within other accumulated comprehensive loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Other balance sheet items and revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective transaction dates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

46

The Company's financial instruments consists of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, note receivable, accounts payable, employee related payables, and promissory notes payable. Unless otherwise stated the fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying value. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short term deposits with original maturities of ninety days or less and are recorded at amortized cost.

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Amortization is provided using the straight line method over the assets estimated useful lives as follows:

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 are capitalized and amortized on a product by product basis.

Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $nil [2002 - $8,000; 2001 - $162,000].

47

The Company accounts 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" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), 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" ("SFAS 148"). The pro-forma disclosure of stock based compensation is included in Note 16[d].

Under APB 25, compensation expense for employees is based on the excess of the fair value of the Company's stock over the exercise price if any, on the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees at fair value in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to non-employees.

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock and exchangeable shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the dilutive potential of outstanding securities using the treasury stock method.

48

Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other accumulated comprehensive loss consists only of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments for all years presented.

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. The initial adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operat ions or cash flows. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46R is effective for the Company's fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2004. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 46R will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For existing financial instruments created before the effective date, any impact upon the adoption of SFAS 150 shall be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. The initial adoption o f SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

49

On August 8, 2001, an action against the Company and the predecessor corporation, Equity Capital Group, Inc. ("ECG"), was filed alleging breach of contract. A settlement agreement and mutual release was signed between the Company and the plaintiff and an amount of $252,500 was paid by the Company to the plaintiff in full settlement. Prior to signing the plaintiff settlement agreement, the Company signed an indemnification agreement with the former majority shareholder of ECG that indemnified the Company against this claim and set forth a payment schedule whereby the Company would fully recover the amounts paid to the plaintiff.

As at December 31, 2003, the former shareholder of the predecessor corporation, ECG 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.

50

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and the note receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations.

The Company operates in one major line of business, the development, manufacture and marketing of enhanced messaging software systems.

Revenue from external customers, by location of customer, is as follows:

Sales from the recognition of deferred revenue from three customers comprised 39%, 36% and 25% of revenues in 2003 respectively. Sales to one customer comprised 84% of revenues in 2002 and sales to one customer comprised 56% of revenues in 2001. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of revenues in each of the years presented.

The Company has substantially all its assets in Canada and its current and planned future operations are, and will be, located in Canada.

On September 9, 2003, the Company completed a restructuring arrangement whereby certain existing debt and convertible preferred stock was 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 stock 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".

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 an equal amount of principal $1,814,949 (Cdn$2,450,000) of Series C promissory notes. The Series C promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly, and are due on December 31, 2005 (refer to Note 10).

52

As part of the troubled debt restructuring, the Company issued 864,702 common stock and 1,633,332 Class 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 the 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 was recorded in the statement of operations. No other gain or loss was recognized on the restructuring of the promissory notes.

The Series C promissory notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly and mature on December 31, 2005 (refer to Note 10). The Class T share purchase warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.33 (Cdn$0.425) per share. The warrants also include a call feature at the option of the Company that is described in Note 16[e].

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 Class 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 stock and previously recorded beneficial conversion feature and the $1,778,103 combined fair value of the Series C promissory notes and Class 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.

53

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.

54

The Series C promissory notes were issued on September 9, 2003 as part of the restructuring of debt and preferred stock described in Note 7.

The Series C promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly and are due 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 were recorded at a discount of $283,598 (Cdn$367,685) to reflect the fair value based on market interest rates. The discount is subject to accretion over the 27 month term to maturity of the promissory notes.

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

55

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

56

On December 28, 2001, the Company issued Innovatia Inc. ("Innovatia"), an existing shareholder of the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aliant Inc. ("Aliant"), a promissory note in the amount of $1,707,989 (Cdn $2,720,142) in settlement of development services provided by Innovatia from February 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001. Immediately thereafter, the Company 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. In accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the issuance of these common shares resulted in an equivalent reduction in the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Company's current stock option plan.

The promissory note bears interest at prime plus 1% (prime rate at December 31, 2003 and 2002 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 $174,838 (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 $174,838 (Cdn$226,678), the Company will carry forward the difference between the Invoiced Amount and $174,838 (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 Ex change 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 $174,838 (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 December 31, 2003, the current portion is calculated as $355,303 (Cdn$460,651) which consists of the amounts due for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 [$174,838 (Cdn$226,678)], December 31, 2002 [$174,838 (Cdn$226,678)] and March 31, 2003 [$5,627 (Cdn$7,295)]. No amounts are due for the quarters ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003 respectively.

As of December 31, 2003, 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 2,517,701 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.

The Company believes Innovatia has not complied with the terms of its agreements and as a result the Company is currently in discussions with Innovatia to resolve the matter.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per share:

For the years ending December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company's common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and other convertible securities were excluded from the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

The company also incurred $124,678 (Cdn$192,271) in legal and professional fees. The aggregate financing costs of $779,606 (Cdn$1,202,271) were recorded as a reduction to the gross proceeds within stockholders' equity.

In addition, the agents received a special compensation option that entitled them to purchase 650,000 Units at Cdn$2.00 per Unit at any time on or before April 3, 2003. Each Unit consists of one common share (the "compensation option") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (the "compensation warrant"), each whole compensation warrant being exercisable to purchase one additional common share at a price of Cdn$2.25 per share at anytime on or before April 3, 2003.

Between the months of April to July 2001, the Company issued a series of non-interest bearing promissory notes to shareholders in the aggregate principal amount of $1,404,214 (Cdn$2,150,000), which were repayable on the earlier of July 18, 2001 or the next equity financing.

The gross proceeds were allocated to the promissory notes and the Class K, L, M and N warrants based on the relative fair value of each security at the time of issuance. Accordingly, $1,177,247 was allocated to the promissory notes and $226,967 was allocated to the Class K, L, M and N 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 was subject to accretion over the term to maturity of the promissory notes. As at December 31, 2001, the $226,967 discount and the $48,580 fees had been recorded as interest expense.

Based on the relative fair values of the preferred stock and detachable warrants on the date of issuance, the Company allocated $1,451,000 of the proceeds to preferred stock and $549,000 of the gross proceeds to the warrants. The agreement contained a beneficial conversion feature that allowed the investors to convert the preferred stock to common stock at an effective conversion rate which was less than the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 29, 2000. The amount of the beneficial conversion feature was limited to the proceeds allocated to the preferred stock of $1,451,000 and was presented as a preferred stock dividend.

The agreement provided that under certain conditions, the Company could retract, at its option, the Series B preferred stock, at $3.00 per share together with all accrued and unpaid dividends. On March 30, 2001, the Company retracted 80,969 Series B Preferred shares at $3.00 per share for aggregate cash of $242,907. The retraction reduced the number of Series B Preferred shares outstanding from 666,667 to 585,698. Upon retraction, a portion of the retraction price was allocated to the beneficial conversion feature and decreased net loss attributable to common stockholders by $109,552.

On September 9, 2003, the 585,698 outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were settled in exchange for the issuance of Series C promissory notes and Class T share purchase warrants as described in Note 7.
