Subject to regulatory acceptance, the Company is finalizing debt settlement agreements with creditors for up to $200,000 of debts owing, whereby the parties have agreed to accept shares in lieu of cash at a per share price of $0.11.

News Release

First Quarter Results and Update

On Business Activities

North Vancouver, British Columbia, October 30, 2003 – Open EC Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V:OCE; OTC:OCEIF). The Company announces the financial results for the first quarter ended August 31, 2003 and provides an update on its operating activities. The Company has SEDAR filed its BC Form 51-901F First Quarter Report containing financial statements prepared by management without audit for the three months ended August 31, 2003 (the “Quarterly Report”). Pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 54-102, this news release provides a reasonable summary of the information contained in the Quarterly Report.

Financial Review

As at August 31, 2003 and August 31, 2002:

As of August 31, 2003, OpenEC had $106,804 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $463,393 as of August 31, 2002. OpenEC's working capital at August 31, 2003 was ($235,909) compared with working capital of $64,073 as at August 31, 2002. Capital assets, which represent net book value of computer and testing equipment, computer software, office equipment, office furniture, display booths and leasehold improvements were $112,002 at August 31, 2003 compared with $168,841 as at August 31, 2002. As the Company’s expenses continue to exceed revenues, the Company’s net current assets discussed above decreased by $93,024 in the quarter ended August 31, 2003.

OpenEC generates revenue through software sales, consulting services, training services and maintenance fees. Product sales were derived through two alternative fee structures: licensing fees and software royalties. Service and maintenance contracts are generally entered into at the time a product sale is completed.

Revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 was $107,680 compared with $116,151 for the year ended August 31, 2002. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to one of the Company’s major customers seeking bankruptcy protection. This resulted in the Company recognizing a write-down of maintenance sales to this customer of some $42,916 for the 2003 fiscal year., and deferring sales and maintenance to this customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Without this event, sales revenue would have exceeded the previous year by approximately $34,000 for the quarter. As at August 31, 2003, this customer had a receivable balance with the company of $23,396 of which management estimates $6,048 is collectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up for the balance of the receivable.

OpenEC has found that the North American market for business-to-business electronic commerce platforms and services is changing rapidly but that significant real opportunities, which may produce significant revenues, are still at an early stage of development. OpenEC's ultimate success depends upon substantial organizations buying and implementing its software products and related services. The implementation of these software products by these organizations is complex, time consuming and expensive. It also requires that these organizations change established business practices and conduct business in new ways. OpenEC's ability to attract customers requires a significant amount of consultation and collaboration with the potential customers during the sales process. These factors lead to long closing cycles but generally result in stable long-term relationships, which produce recurring revenue streams for the company.

-2-

Salaries and wages for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 were $107,263 compared with $236,155 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. The decrease represents the continuing affects of a cost cutting program by management in 2002/2003.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 were $84,626 compared with $284,427 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased cost of travel, professional fees and premises costs resulting from the contraction of operations.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 were $9,555 compared with $11,731 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. The decrease of this expense reflects a slow down in OpenEC's program of continuous upgrading of its computer hardware, software, related equipment and leasehold improvements, which is consistent with the cost cutting program carried out by management in 2002/2003.

Other expenses incurred related primarily to net interest costs ($7,419) for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 compared to interest income $3,533 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. This change from net interest income to net interest expense reflects the financing cost associated with a convertible debenture. Long-term interest expense for this quarter was $6,881 versus nil in 2002.

Operating Activities

OpenEC is a provider of business-to-business electronic commerce platforms. It has a strong history in the provision of software, which enables business-to-business electronic commerce. The operating company, SoftCare EC Solutions Inc. (formerly SoftCare Electronic Commerce Inc.) was founded in 1990 and developed software to facilitate business-to-business electronic exchange of documents. OpenEC's first product, Tradelink, has been recognized as a leader in the electronic data interchange ("EDI") market. In the late 1990's management recognized the potential for the expansion of business-to-business transactions through the use of the internet. As a result the Company embarked on the development of an internet based business-to-business electronic commerce platform in 1997. Since that time the Company's new Open E|C business-to-business electronic commerce platform has been under continuous development, this involves conducting research and developing the initial and subsequent versions of the Open E|C platform. In June of 1999, the first version of Open E|C was installed and OpenEC began selling the Open E|C platform and related services. OpenEC currently markets both Open E|C and Tradelink primarily in the United States and Canada.

The Company’s near term milestones include the development, with its partner Mala Ventures, Inc. (a company controlled by a director of the Company), of a suite of products to be co-marketed by an independent third party U.S. company to their existing customer base. The delivery of these products and their commercial application is expected in the fiscal year ended 2004.

The settlement of certain longstanding liabilities by way of share for debt settlements totalling up to $200,000 was recently announced and the Company is also carrying out negotiations to complete working capital financings of approximately $500,000 within the next nine months.

_________________________________________________

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF MEMBERS

TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 14, 2003

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Management of OPEN EC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the “Company”) for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Members of the Company, to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.

PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING THE SOLICITATION

The enclosed Instrument of Proxy is solicited by Management. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company may reimburse Members' nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute the Instrument of Proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. None of the Directors of the Company have advised that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by Management as set forth in this Information Circular.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy are Directors or Officers of the Company. A Member has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him/her on his/her behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy. To exercise this right, a Member shall strike out the names of the persons named in the Instrument of Proxy and insert the name of his/her nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another Instrument of Proxy. The completed Instrument of Proxy should be deposited with the Company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, Pacific Corporate Trust Company, 10^th Floor, 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B8, at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The Instrument of Proxy must be dated and be signed by the Member or by his/her Attorney in writing, or, if the

Member is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Member may revoke a Proxy either by (a) signing a Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, or (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Instrument of Proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the Instrument of Proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the Scrutineer at the Meeting as a Member present in person, whereupon such Proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS OF COMPANY’S SHARES

Only registered Members or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Members who do not hold their common shares in their own name (“Beneficial Members”) are advised that only proxies from Members of record can be recognized and voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Members who complete and return an Instrument of Proxy must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their common shares as registered Member. Every intermediary (broker) has its own mailing procedure, and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed. The form of proxy supplied to Beneficial Members is identical to that provided to registered Members. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Member how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Member.

If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Member by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in such Member’s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Member’s broker or agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration for the Canadian Depository for Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Member. Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. The directors and officers of the Company do not know for whose benefit the common shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.

In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Instrument of Proxy to the clearing agencies and intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered Members. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Members in advance of Members’ meetings unless the Beneficial Members have waived the right to receive meeting materials. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Members in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Member by its broker is identical to the Instrument of Proxy provided by the Company to the registered Members. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Member how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Member. Should a non-registered Member receive such a form and wish to vote at the Meeting, the non-registered Member should strike out the Management proxyholder’s name in the form and insert the non-registered Member’s name in the blank provided. The majority of brokers now delegate the responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications (“ADP”). ADP typically applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Members and requests Beneficial Members to return the proxy forms to ADP. ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Member receiving a proxy with an ADP sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to ADP well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted. All references to Members in this Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Members of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the Member in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.

In the absence of any direction in the Instrument of Proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information Circular. The Instrument of Proxy enclosed, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to any matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting.

The enclosed Instrument of Proxy does not confer authority to vote for the election of any person as a Director of the Company other than for those persons named in this Information Circular. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the Management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the Management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the nominee.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of the Company for the year dated May 31, 2003 (the “Financial Statements”), together with the Auditors’ Report thereon, will be presented to the Members at the Meeting. The Financial Statements, together with the Auditors’ Report thereon, are being mailed to the Members with this Information Circular.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

At October 9, 2003, the Company has 2,324,362 common shares without par value issued and outstanding. All common shares in the capital of the Company are of the same class and each carries the right to one vote.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾

For further information please refer to “Interest of Insiders in Material Transactions” in this Information Circular.

⁽²⁾

Mr. Armstrong currently holds 496,254 shares of the Company directly and is a trustee of certain trusts which currently hold a total of 87,892 shares of the Company.

The above information was provided by Management of the Company and the Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of the Directors or Senior Officers of the Company, no proposed nominee for election as a Director of the Company, none of the persons who have been Directors or Senior Officers of the Company since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

INTEREST OF INSIDERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

On July 4, 2003 the Company announced that it had received TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) acceptance of a non–brokered convertible debenture private placement of $250,000 U.S. ($343,425) (the “Private Placement”) announced June 4, 2003. Having received the funds in full from the placee, Mr. Sam X. Eyde, the Private Placement had closed. Shares issued pursuant to conversion of the debenture are subject to a hold period of four months from June 26, 2003. Mr. Eyde, by virtue of his shareholdings which exceed twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, is deemed to be a control person as defined in the British Columbia Securities Act (the “Act”). The convertible debenture is convertible into units of the Company, consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, at $0.10 per unit in year one, at $0.11 per unit in year two, and at $0.12 per unit in year three (the “Units”). The maturity date is March 17, 2006. Each whole warrant will expire March 17, 2005 and entitles the holder, Mr. Eyde, to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 per share in year one and at $0.11 per share in year two.

The Company and Mr. Eyde advise that if he was to convert the entire debenture into Units and if he exercised all of the warrants that would be issued upon such conversion, prior to issuance of any other shares of the Company, Mr. Eyde would receive 5,151,375 shares of the Company, which when added to his present share holdings of the Company would increase his holdings to 5,626,375 common shares or 75.26% of the total common shares of the Company that would be issued upon such debenture conversion and warrant exercise.

(6)

These incentive stock options have expired without having been exercised.

Long Term Incentive Plan Awards

Long term incentive plan awards (“LTIP”) means “any plan providing compensation intended to serve as an incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year whether performance is measured by reference to financial performance of the Company or an affiliate or the price of the Company’s shares but does not include option or stock appreciation rights plans or plans for compensation through restricted shares or units”. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, the Company did not make any LTIP awards to its Named Executive Officers nor did the Company have a pension plan for its Directors, Senior Officers or Employees.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) means a right granted by an issuer or any of its subsidiaries as compensation for services rendered or in connection with office or employment, to receive a payment of cash or an issue or transfer of securities based wholly or in part on changes in the trading price of the Company’s shares. No SARs were granted to or exercised by the Named Executive Officers or Directors during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

Directors of the Company

None of the Directors of the Company have received any cash compensation, directly or indirectly, for their services rendered during the most recently completed financial year of the Company.

The Company does not have any non-cash compensation plans for its Directors and it does not propose to pay or distribute any non-cash compensation during the current financial year, other than the possible grant of incentive stock options.

Options to Purchase Securities

During the financial year ended May 31, 2003, no stock options were granted to or exercised by the Named Executive Officers, and there were no SARs or stock option repricings.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND SENIOR OFFICERS

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

See “Statement of Executive Compensation” for particulars of arrangements under which management functions of the Company are performed.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Election of Directors

Although Management is only nominating three individuals to stand for election, the names of further nominees for Directors may come from the floor at the Meeting. Advance Notice of the Annual General and Special Meeting was published pursuant to section 111 of the Company Act in the Vancouver Province on September 12, 2003 and no nominations for Directors were received from the Members of the Company.

Each Director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Members unless that person ceases to be a Director before then. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the shares represented by Proxy will, on a poll, be voted for the nominees herein listed. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a Director.

The following table sets out the names of the persons to be nominated for election as Directors, the positions and offices which they presently hold with the Company, their respective principal occupations or employment during the past five years if such nominee is not presently an elected Director and the number of shares of the Company which each beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised as of the date of this Information Circular:

Appointment and Remuneration of Auditor

Effective September 23, 2003, Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants of Vancouver resigned as auditors for the Company and Morgan & Company, Chartered Accountants, was appointed to such position. A Notice of Change of Auditor, disclaimer letters from each of the former and successor auditors and confirmation that the Notice and letters have been reviewed by the Audit Committee, are enclosed with this Information Circular pursuant to the requirements of National Policy Statement No. 31.

Management recommends the re-appointment of Morgan & Company, Chartered Accountants, of Suite 1488 - 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1A1, as Auditor for the Company, to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Members at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors and the persons names in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote in favour of such resolution.

New Stock Option Plan and Repricing of Stock Options

Stock Option Plan

The Exchange requires that all listed companies must implement a stock option plan pursuant to which options are granted to directors, employees, consultants and certain other service providers. The Members approved a stock option plan in 2000, however the Directors of the Company now wish to implement a “rolling” stock option plan (the “Plan”) to replace the 2000 stock option plan, whereby a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of the Company, from time to time, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

The term of any options granted under the Plan will be fixed by the board of directors at the time such options are granted, provided that options will not be permitted to exceed a term of five years (or ten years if the Company is reclassified by the Exchange as a Tier 1 Issuer). The exercise price of any options granted under the Plan will be determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the day preceding the day on which the directors grant such options, less any discount permitted by the Exchange. No vesting requirements will apply to options granted thereunder, however a four month hold period will apply to all shares issued under each option, commencing from the date of grant.

The Plan contains, among other things, the following additional terms and conditions:

(a)

all options will be non-transferable;

(b)

no more than 5% of the issued shares may be granted to any one individual in any 12 month period;

(c)

no more that 2% of the issued shares may be granted to a consultant, or an employee performing investor relations activities, in any 12 month period;

(d)

Disinterested Shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; (ii) any grant of options to insiders, within a 12 month period, exceeding 10% of the Company’s issued shares; and (iii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of the Company’s issued shares; and

(e)

options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of the Company’s common shares.

In the event that an option granted under the Plan expires unexercised or is terminated by reason of dismissal of the Optionee for cause or is otherwise lawfully cancelled prior to the exercise of the option, the optioned shares that were issuable thereunder will be returned to the Plan and will be eligible for reissue.

The Plan is subject to receipt of Exchange acceptance to its filing.

Reference should be made to the full text of the Plan which will be made available at the registered office of the Company at Suite #502, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T5 , until the business day immediately preceding the date of the Meeting.

Members will be asked to consider, and if thought fit the following resolution approving the implementation of the Plan:

“RESOLVED, as an Ordinary Resolution, that:

(a)

the Plan, be and is hereby approved and replaces the year 2000 stock option plan;

(b)

the Company be and is hereby authorized to grant stock options pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan entitling the option holders to purchase common shares of the Company;

(c)

the Board of Directors or any committee created pursuant to the Plan be and it is hereby authorized to make such amendments to the Plan from time to time, as may be required by the applicable regulatory authorities, or may in its discretion, be considered appropriate by the Board of Directors or committee, in its sole discretion, provided always that such amendments be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities, if applicable, and in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the approval of the Members;

(d)

the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors be ratified, approved and confirmed and any one director of the Company be and is hereby authorized to execute any and all documents as the Director deems necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated in the Plan;

(e)

the Company be and is hereby authorized to abandon or terminate all or any part of the adoption of the Plan if the Board of Directors of the Company deems it appropriate and in the best interest of the Company to do so;

(f)

the Company be and is hereby authorized to prepare such disclosure documents and make such submission and filings as the Company may be required to make with the Exchange to obtain the approval of the Exchange to the Plan;

(g)

any one or more of the directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to perform all acts, deeds and things and execute, under the corporate seal of the Company, or otherwise, all such documentation and other writings, including necessary treasury order(s), Exchange filing forms, as may be required to give effect to the true intent of this resolution; and

(h)

the Board of Directors be authorized in its discretion, to amend, postpone, or abandon the implementation of the foregoing resolutions, including the implementation of the Plan, if, in the Board of Directors’ sole opinion, circumstances so warrant.”

Repricing of Stock Options

Exchange Policy 4.4 provides that a listed company must obtain “disinterested shareholder approval” (determined in accordance with TSX Policy 4.4) to:

(a)

decrease the exercise price of stock options previously granted to insiders; and

(b)

issue to any one insider and such insider’s associates, upon the exercise of stock option, shares exceeding 5% of the outstanding listed shares within a one-year period.

Accordingly Members will be asked to pass a resolution authorizing the above specific matters. The passing of a resolution authorizing the above matters does not necessarily mean that the Company’s Board of Directors will exercise the authority granted.

“RESOLVED, as an Ordinary Resolution of the Disinterested Members, that:

(a)

the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, be hereby authorized to renegotiate (including decrease) the exercise price of stock options previously granted to insiders; and

(b)

issue to any one insider and such insider’s associates, upon the exercise of stock options, shares exceeding 5% of the issued shares of the Company within a one-year period.”

The Board of Directors recommends that the Members of the Company approve this resolution.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED, THE FORM OF PROXY GIVEN PURSUANT TO THIS SOLICITATION WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR.

Future Financing and Debt Settlements

Members will be asked to authorize the Directors, in their discretion, to issue shares in excess of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares in accordance with the terms of any proposed future acquisitions, private placement, rights offering or prospectus financing and corresponding brokers’ warrants or debt settlements shares, at such price or prices, in such amount or amounts and to such individuals or entities as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company with any resulting possible effective changes in control of the Company consequent thereon acceptable with the appropriate regulatory authorities.

Members will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve with or without variation the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, as an Ordinary Resolution, that:

subject to necessary regulatory approval, the Directors of the Company are authorized to reserve for issuance in excess of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares in accordance with the terms of any proposed future acquisitions, private placements, rights offering or prospectus financing and corresponding brokers’ warrants or shares for debt settlements, at such price or prices, in such amount or amounts and to such individuals or entities as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company with any resulting possible effective changes in control of the Company consequent thereon acceptable with the appropriate regulatory authorities at such prices and subject to such terms as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time and the Exchange will accept;

the Company is hereby authorized to use the proceeds from any future private placements, rights offering or prospectus financing and corresponding brokers’ warrants or shares for debt settlements, pursuant to the Exchange’s Policies; and

any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized to execute subscription agreements for the private placement as provided for in this resolution and to execute and deliver all such other deeds, documents, and writings and perform such acts as may be necessary in order to give effect to this resolution.”

Approval and Ratification of Acts of Directors

Management of the Company proposes that the Members ratify, approve and confirm the actions, deeds and conduct of the Directors and officers taken on behalf of the Company since the last annual general meeting. Accordingly, Members will be asked to consider and approve the following resolutions, with or without modification:

“RESOLVED, as an Ordinary Resolution, that:

Notwithstanding (i) any failure to properly convene, proceed with, or record any meeting of the Board of Directors or Members of Open EC Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure properly to waive or give notice of a meeting, hold a meeting in accordance with a notice of a meeting, have a quorum present at a meeting, sign the minutes of a meeting or sign a ballot electing a slate of Directors; or (ii) any failure to pass any resolution of the Directors or Members of the Company or any Articles of the Company for any reason whatsoever, all approvals, appointments, elections, resolutions, contracts, acts and proceedings enacted, passed, made done or taken since November 5, 2002 as set forth in the minutes of the meetings, or resolutions of the Board of Directors or Members of the Company or other documents contained in the minutes book and record book of the Company, or in the financial statements of the Company, and all action heretofore taken in reliance upon the validity of such minutes, documents and financial statements, are hereby sanctioned, ratified, confirmed and approved; and

Without limiting the generality of the paragraph 1 immediately above, all resolutions, contracts, acts and proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company enacted, made, done or taken since the last annual general meeting as set forth or referred to in the minutes and record books of the Company or in the financial statements of the Company, are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.”

In the absence of contrary directions, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote the common shares represented thereby in favour of the resolution ratifying, confirming and approving the acts and proceedings of the Directors and officers of the Company.

OTHER MATTERS

It is not known if any other matters will come before the Meeting other than set forth above and in the Notice of Meeting, but if such should occur, the persons named in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote on any poll, on such matters in accordance with their best judgement, exercising discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of

Open EC Technologies, Inc.

(formerly SoftCare EC.Com, Inc.)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Open EC Technologies, Inc. (formerly SoftCare EC.Com, Inc.) as at May 31, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Company as at May 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the British Columbia Company Act, we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

The consolidated financial statements as at May 31, 2002, and for the year then ended, were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without qualification in their report dated September 20, 2002.

Comments by Auditor for U.S. Readers on Canada - U.S. Reporting Difference

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the consolidated financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Although we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian and US generally accepted auditing standards, our report dated October 2, 2003 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such an uncertainty in the auditor’s report when the uncertainty is adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2003 and 2002

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Open EC Technologies, Inc., (“The Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia on March 30, 1981. On November 8, 2001 the Company changed its name from SoftCare EC.Com, Inc. to Softcare EC Inc. On June 23, 2003 the Company changed its name from Softcare EC, Inc. to Open EC Technologies, Inc.

The Company and its subsidiary companies develop and market Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) software primarily to retailers, financial and public institutions, utility companies, pharmaceutical companies and wholesalers across Canada, the United States and Asia. The Company and its subsidiary companies also develop and market e-commerce software, providing software through internet portals and by licenses, as well as providing consulting and support services to both domestic and international markets.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company incurred a loss of $1,019,670 for the year ended May 31, 2003 [2002 - $3,273,477], and has a deficit of $16,651,419 as at May 31, 2003 [2002 – 15,631,749], which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, option holders and warrant holders or upon its ability to obtain additional financing or new equity.

The Company’s ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations will depend upon numerous factors. These factors include its ability to attract strategic corporate partners for the development, marketing, distribution, and sale of its software products, the progress of its research and development programs and its ability to protect its proprietary rights over product names and trademarks. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been expressed in Canadian dollars and prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of amounts presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles is detailed in note 19. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SoftCare EC Solutions Inc. (“Solutions”) (a Canadian company), (formerly SoftCare Electronic Commerce Inc.), and Solutions’s wholly owned subsidiaries, SCC Holdings Ltd. (a Canadian company), SCEC Holdings Ltd. (a Canadian company) and SoftCare Electronic Commerce (U.S.A.) Inc. (a Washington corporation). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2003 and 2002

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d.)

Translation of foreign currencies

The Company follows the temporal method of accounting for the translation of integrated foreign subsidiary operations. Monetary assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Other balance sheet items are translated at exchange rates in effect when the assets are acquired or obligations incurred. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from these translations are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments are available for sale securities and are carried at market value. Short-term investments consist of investments in a term note, with financial institutions with an original maturity of more than three months.

Leases

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership of the property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. Capital lease obligations reflect the present value of future lease payments, discounted at the appropriate interest rate.

All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.

Software development costs

Software development costs are charged to expense as incurred unless the development project meets the criteria under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization. The Company has not deferred any software development costs to date.

Capital assets

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Capital assets are amortized at rates sufficient to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives on a declining balance method, after taking into account their estimated residual values, at the following annual rates:

Computer and testing equipment

30%

Computer software

100%

Office equipment

20%

Office furniture

20%

Display booths

30%

Computer and office equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the lease or the remaining estimated economic life of approximately three to five years.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d.)

Advertising expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended May 31, 2003 amounted to $3,479 [2002 - $12,660].

Income taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a future tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Stock based compensation

Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments” (“Section 3870”), which requires that a fair value-based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock, awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Section 3870 permits the Company to continue its existing policy of treating all other employee and director stock options as capital transactions (the settlement method), but requires pro forma disclosure of net income and per share information as if the Company has accounted for these stock options under the fair value method. No restatement of prior periods is required as a result of the adoption of the new recommendations.

Employee stock bonus plan

Equity instruments contributed to the Employee Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of their contribution and are recorded as a credit in shareholders’ equity. A contra equity account is recognized until allocations to participants are made and compensation expense is recognized.

Compensation expense is measured based on the intrinsic value of the award at the date of grant and recognizes that cost in the period when it is likely that performance criteria will be met and/or the equity instruments allocated to participants will be released.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon estimates using factors such as future asset utilization, business climate and future non-discounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets or to be realized on sale. The Company’s policy is to write down assets to their net recoverable amount using undiscounted cash flows, in the period when it is likely that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2003 and 2002

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d.)

Revenue recognition

A software supply arrangement entered into by the Company may encompass multiple elements, including software sales, consulting services, training services and maintenance fees. The total fee for a multiple element arrangement is allocated to each element based upon objective evidence of the fair value of each element. Fair value is established through the Company’s policy to charge to customers the same price as when the element is sold separately. Revenue from sales made to re-sellers is recognized after the third-party sale occurs and the revenue is determinable. Consulting services offered by the Company are not considered essential to the functionality of the software arrangement. As a result, consulting and training services revenues are recognized as the work is performed. Maintenance contract revenue is deferred and recognized over the respective contract periods. Revenue from direct software sales is recognized when the product has been delivered, as no significant obligations remain, fees are fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable, and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. If software sales are contingent upon successful installation and subsequent customer acceptance, the revenue and work in progress costs are deferred until customer acceptance is achieved.

Financial instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short term investment, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity. The fair value of short-term investments has been determined based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value as the effective interest rate on these instruments approximate current market rates. The carrying value of subsidiary redeemable Class A preference shares approximates fair value based on discounted cash flows.

Loss per share

Loss per common share for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002 is computed by dividing the loss for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, excluding shares held by the SoftCare Employee Stock Bonus Plan Trust (“SESB Trust”). Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could result from the exercise of dilutive options and warrants. For the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002 none of the outstanding options and warrants have been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because their effect was antidilutive.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

3. CREDIT AND EXCHANGE RATE RISK

The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations.

The Company’s operations are in the field of supplying electronic commerce computer software licenses and support services to domestic and international markets. Many of its customers are outside of Canada and therefore a significant percentage of its revenues may be derived from, and may be paid in, U.S. dollars [note 17]. The Company has not entered into contracts for foreign exchange hedges.

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.

As at May 31, 2003 one [2002 - two] customer represented 52% [2002 - 34%] of the accounts receivable balance.

For the year ended May 31, 2003 two [2002 - two] customers represented 39% of sales [2002 - 51%].

4. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT

As at May 31, 2002, the short-term investment consisted of a Business Development Bank Medium Term Note which had a quoted market value of $532,849, earned interest at 5% per annum and matured in September 2002. As at May 31, 2003, no short term investments were held.

Under an agreement dated July 4, 1996, between Solutions and one of its shareholders, Solutions agreed to issue 225,000 redeemable Class A preference shares to the shareholder in exchange for 665 common shares of Solutions. The subsidiary redeemable Class A preference shares are mandatorily redeemable based upon the Company’s gross quarterly sales at a redemption price of $1.00 per share. The Company has the option of accelerating the redemption of these shares at a redemption price of $1.00 per share. In the event the Company is unable to redeem the shares for cash, the Company is required to settle this obligation with common shares of its subsidiary, Solutions. Common shares of the subsidiary are to be issued at a ratio equal to the proportion of the capital of Solutions that such preference shares represented when they were created.

The holder of the subsidiary’s redeemable Class A preference shares is entitled to cumulative dividends calculated at the bank prime rate. The bank prime rate at May 31, 2003 was 5% [2002 – 4%]. The cumulative dividends have been recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

12. COMMON STOCK (cont’d.)

[e] Employee Stock Bonus Plan

On April 15, 1999, the Company established the SESB trust in order to create a non-leveraged Employee Stock Bonus Plan whose members are directors, officers, consultants and employees who have completed six months or more service with the Company.

Under the terms of the Plan, common shares held by the SESB trust will be allocated to participants when annual revenue targets are met or exceeded. However, the Company's Board of Directors has the discretion to allocate shares even if the targets are not achieved if it is in the best interest of the Company. Common shares allocated will vest irrevocably for participants in the Plan when revenue targets are achieved or the directors otherwise resolve that they are vested.

Upon the termination of an employee, shares that are not vested will be returned to the plan. Any shares placed in escrow shall be subject to mandatory repurchase by the Company at a price of US$0.01 per share should the participant terminate. Five years after establishment of the Plan, there shall be an exchange of allocated but unvested shares granted under the Plan and remaining in escrow for a new class of redeemable non-voting preferred shares. Each common share will be exchanged for one new preferred share.

During the year ended May 31, 2003, no shares [2002 - nil shares] were allocated or released to employees under the plan. All shares allocated to employees have either been released to employees or returned to the SESB trust as a result of employee resignations during the year.

The balance of shares held in the plan as at May 31, 2003 is 774,200 [2002 - 774,200] and of this balance none have been allocated for future release.

No compensation expense has been recognized in the statement of operations for the year-ended May 31, 2003 in respect of the SESB Trust [2002 - nil]. Compensation expense is recorded at fair value of the shares once shares have been committed to be released. At May 31, 2003, the fair value of the unallocated common shares based on quoted market sources was $7,742 [2002 - $92,904].

[f] Shares to be Issued

As a result of various employee terminations during the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company is obliged to issue 100,000 shares to employees as part of the severance packages agreed with the terminated employees. The shares to be issued have been valued based on the market price of the shares on the date the employee was terminated.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

[a] The Company leases its premises and certain automobiles under operating leases expiring through 2009. The future minimum lease commitments under operating lease agreements for the next six years ending May 31 are as follows:

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont’d.)

During the years ended May 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company terminated a number of employees. In respect to these employee terminations, the Company has an obligation to issue an aggregate of 100,000 common shares in settlement of termination agreements [note 12f].

One of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a lease with the Landlord for the rental of premises through March 2003. In June 2002, the subsidiary vacated the premises. The Landlord has made a demand of approximately $200,000 on the subsidiary for the payment of rentals through March 2003. The Company does not anticipate paying this amount and it intends to vigorously defend the demand made by the Landlord. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time with certainty. Accordingly, no amounts with respect to this claim had been recorded during the year ended May 31, 2003.

[b] The Company has been named as a third party in a default judgment, together with a U.S. company, in the amount of US$150,000 for damages with respect to the use of allegedly unauthorized proprietary software.

The Company has filed an objection to the judgment and filed a motion requesting relief from the judgment with the Federal Court of the United States of America. Management is of the opinion that the Company was not a party to the unauthorized use of the software. No provision for damages has been recorded in these financial statements.

14. INCOME TAXES

At May 31, 2003, for Canadian income tax purposes, the Company has approximately $686,000 of undeducted expenditures for tax purposes expiring through May 2005 relating primarily to share issue costs and approximately $11,544,000 of non-capital losses available for income tax purposes to reduce taxable income of future years that expire as follows:

Recent Pronouncements

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 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). The requirements of SFAS No. 150 apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of non-public entities. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”, which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 148 on June 1, 2003, and its impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Recent Pronouncements (cont’d)

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 146 on June 1, 2003, and its impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion relates to the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of Open EC Technologies, Inc. (formerly Softcare EC Inc.), and its subsidiaries Softcare EC Solutions Inc. (formerly Softcare Electronic Commerce Inc.), SCEC Holdings, SCC Holdings and Softcare Electronic Commerce (U.S.A.) Inc. for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. Open EC Technologies Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary Softcare EC Solutions Inc. and it's wholly owned subsidiaries SCC Holdings, SCEC Holdings and Softcare Electronic Commerce (U.S.A.) Inc. are collectively referred to as "OpenEC", or as the “Company”. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of OpenEC and related notes included therein.

Overview

OpenEC is a provider of business-to-business electronic commerce platforms. It has a strong history in the provision of software, which enables business-to-business electronic commerce. The operating company, SoftCare EC Solutions Inc. (formerly SoftCare Electronic Commerce Inc.) was founded in 1990 and developed software to facilitate business-to-business electronic exchange of documents. OpenEC's first product, Tradelink, has been recognized as a leader in the electronic data interchange ("EDI") market. In the late 1990's, management recognized the potential for the expansion of business-to-business transactions through the use of the internet. As a result the Company embarked on the development of an internet based business-to-business electronic commerce platform in 1997. Since that time the Company's new Open E|C business-to-business electronic commerce platform has been under continuous development, this involves conducting research and developing the initial and subsequent versions of the Open E|C platform. In June of 1999, the first version of Open E|C was installed and OpenEC began selling the Open E|C platform and related services. OpenEC currently markets both Open E|C and Tradelink primarily in the United States and Canada.

OpenEC has developed and continues to develop certain applications to support its Open|EC Platform. While OpenEC may develop these applications, there can be no assurance that such products, once completed, will meet customer requirements, overall market requirements, or that the products will perform in a satisfactory manner.

As at May 31, 2003 and as at May 31, 2002:

As of May 31, 2003, OpenEC had $234,170 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $14,663 as of May 31, 2002. OpenEC's working capital at May 31, 2003 was ($198,704) compared with working capital of $107,204 as at May 31, 2002. Short-term investments at May 31, 2003 were NIL, and $535,075 at May 31, 2002. Capital assets, which represents net book value of computer and testing equipment, computer software, office equipment, office furniture, display booths and leasehold improvements were $121,557 at May 31, 2003 compared with $172,255 as at May 31, 2002. As the Company’s expenses continue to exceed revenues, the Company’s working capital discussed above decreased by $305,908 in the year ended May 31, 2003.

Results of Operations

Years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002

Revenue for the year ended May 31, 2003 was $509,844, compared with $575,002 for the year ended May 31, 2002. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to one of the company’s major customers sought bankruptcy protection. This resulted in the Company recognizing a write-down of maintenance sales to this customer of some $42,916 for the 2003 fiscal year. Without this event sales would have been relatively flat for the year. As at May 31, 2003, this customer had a receivables balance with the company of $23,396 of which management estimates $6,048 is collectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up for the balance of the receivable.

Salaries and wages for the year ended May 31, 2003 were $679,412 compared with $1,658,651 for the year ended May 31, 2002. The decrease represents the continuing affects of a cost cutting program by management in 2002/2003.

There was $23,786 of stock based compensation in the year ended May 31, 2003. For the year ended May 31, 2002 stock based and other compensation was $71,200. This decrease reflects the fact that the majority of employees were laid off, and the associated compensation expense accrued prior to May 31, 2002.

Selling expenses for the year ended May 31, 2003 were $24,998 compared with $71,614 for the year ended May 31, 2002, demonstrating an overall reduction in OpenEC's selling and marketing costs. The decrease reflects OpenEC's reduced sales efforts for its initial Open E|C product set.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2003 were $728,015 compared with $1,942,704 for the year ended May 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased cost of travel, professional fees and premises costs resulting from the contraction of operations.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended May 31, 2003 were $58,370 compared with $147,346 for the year ended May 31, 2002. The decrease of this expense reflects a slow down in OpenEC's program of continuous upgrading of its computer hardware, software, related equipment and leasehold improvements, which is consistent with the cost cutting program carried out by management in 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis, which presumes that the company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

To date the company has incurred significant losses both for the current year to date and the previous fiscal years. In addition, the Company has accumulated a significant deficit. These losses and the deficit have been funded primarily by the issuance of securities including funds derived from a convertible debenture completed in the fourth quarter to May 31, 2003.

During the past fiscal year the Company was successful in the closing the following financings:

- On November 5, 2002 the Company issued two promissory notes with fixed repayment terms in exchange for a total of $50,000.00

- On March 17, 2003, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 US ($341,250 Cdn.). The debenture bears interest at the rate of prime plus three and one half percent per annum and has a term of three years.

OpenEC’s continuation as a going concern is uncertain and is dependant upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, option holders and warrant holders or upon its ability to obtain additional financing or new equity. It’s ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations will depend on numerous factors. These factors include its ability to attract strategic, corporate partners for the development, marketing, distribution and sale of its software products, the progress of its research and development programs and its ability to protect its proprietary rights over the product names and trademarks. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. To date OpenEC has been able to achieve certain milestones in its efforts to combat these dependant factors including the registration of its trademark OpenE/C, continued innovation from research and development and building contacts and alliances with potential strategic corporate partners.

As of May 31, 2003, OpenEC had $234,170 in cash and cash equivalents. This, including other current assets, brought OpenEC's total working capital to ($198,704). OpenEC also has the potential to raise future capital through the exercise of warrants and stock options. However, there is no assurance that the exercise of warrants will occur or that employees, directors or agents will exercise their stock options.

Subsequent Events:

[i]

Name Change

On June 17, 2003 the Company changed it name from Softcare EC, Inc. to Open EC Technologies Inc. and consolidated its share capital on the basis of 10 old common shares for every new common share.

[ii]

Office Lease Terms Renegotiated

On July 1, 2002 the Company relocated its operations to new leasehold premises. The Company entered into a six-year lease that expires on June 30, 2008. The lease provided for a seven-month rent-free period that expired January 31, 2003. Subsequent to the rent-free period, the future minimum lease commitments over the lifetime of the lease for the years ending May 31 are as follows, as negotiated in August 2003:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2003 and 2002

[Expressed in Canadian dollars]

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Open EC Technologies, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia on March 30, 1981. On November 8, 2001 the Company changed its name from SoftCare EC.Com, Inc. to Softcare EC Inc. On June 23, 2003 the Company changed its name from Softcare EC, Inc. to Open EC Technologies, Inc.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company incurred a loss of [$103,641] for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 [2002 - $414,451, ], and has a deficit of $16,755,060 as at August 31, 2003 [2002 – $16,046,199], which has been funded primarily by the issuance of equity.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been expressed in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of amounts presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles is detailed in note 16. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SoftCare EC Solutions Inc. (a Canadian company), (formerly SoftCare Electronic Commerce Inc.), and Solutions’s wholly owned subsidiaries, SCC Holdings Ltd. (a Canadian company), SCEC Holdings Ltd. (a Canadian company) and SoftCare Electronic Commerce (U.S.A.) Inc. (a Washington corporation). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d.)

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 was nil [2002-$500.00].

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and measured using the substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a future tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Stock based compensation

Effective June 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new recommendations of the CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments” (“Section 3870”) which requires that a fair value-based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to non-employees and to employee awards that are direct awards of stock, awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets or are stock appreciation rights that call fro settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Section 3870 permits the Company to continue its existing policy of treating all other employee and director stock options as capital transactions (the settlement method), but requires no pro forma disclosure of net income and per share information as if the Company has accounted for these stock options under the fair value method. No restatement of prior periods is required as a result of the adoption of the new recommendations.

Employee stock bonus plan

Equity instruments contributed to the Employee Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) by the Company are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of their contribution and are recorded as a

credit in shareholders’ equity. A contra equity account is recognized until allocations to participants are made and compensation expense is recognized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets, including capital assets and goodwill, based upon estimates using factors such as future asset utilization, business climate and future non-discounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets or to be realized on sale. The Company’s policy is to write down assets to their net recoverable amount using undiscounted cash flows, in the period when it is likely that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered.

Revenue recognition

Financial instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity. The fair value of short-term investments has been determined based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of capital lease obligations approximates fair value as the effective interest rate on these instruments approximate current market rates. The carrying value of subsidiary redeemable Class A preference shares approximates fair value based on discounted cash flows.

Income (loss) per share

Loss per common share for the quarters ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares held by the SoftCare Employee Stock Bonus Plan Trust (“SESB Trust”). Loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could result from the exercise of dilutive options and warrants. For the quarters ended August 31, 2003 and 2002 none of the outstanding options and warrants has been included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

3. CREDIT AND EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents that are held with one financial institution, short-term investments that are held with one financial institution, and accounts receivable. The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s operations are in the field of supplying electronic commerce computer software licenses and support services to domestic and international markets. Many of its customers are outside of Canada and therefore a significant Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents that are held with one financial institution, short-term investments that are held with one financial institution, and accounts receivable. The Company operates internationally, which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. The Company’s operations are in the field of supplying electronic commerce computer software licenses and support services to domestic and international markets. Many of its customers are outside of Canada and therefore a significant percentage of its revenues may be derived from, and may be paid in, U.S. dollars [note 17]. The Company has not entered into contracts for foreign exchange hedges. 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.

As at August 31, 2003 two [2002 - five] customers represented 54% [2002 - 76%] of the accounts receivable balance. For the period ended August 31, 2003 two [2002 - four] customers represented 63% of sales [2002 - 100%].

Recent Pronouncements

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities”. 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). The requirement of SFAS 150 apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS 150 does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS 150 is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of non-public entities. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material affect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2002, FASB issued SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the affect for fiscal years ended

after December 15, 2002. The disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted SFAS 148 and its impact is not expected to have a material affect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. The provisions of this SFAS are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activites and nullifies Emergin Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in Restructuring)”. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The Company has adopted SFAS 146 and its impact is not expected to have a material affect on the Company’s results of operations of financial position.

MANAGEMENT 'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion relates to the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of Open EC Technologies, Inc. (formerly Softcare EC Inc.), and its subsidiaries Softcare EC Solutions Inc. (formerly Softcare Electronic Commerce, Inc.), SCEC Holdings, SCC Holdings and Softcare Electronic Commerce (U.S.A.)

Results of Operations

Quarters ended August 31, 2003 and 2002

Revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 was $107,680 compared with $116,151 for the year ended August 31, 2002. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to one of the Company’s major customers seeking bankruptcy protection. This resulted in the Company recogniz ing a write-down of maintenance sales to this customer of some $42,916 for the 2003 fiscal year., and deferring sales and maintenance to this customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Without this event, sales revenue would have exceeded the previous year by approximately $34,000 for the quarter. As at August 31, 2003, this customer had a receivable balance with the company of $23,396 of which management estimates $6,048 is collectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been set up for the balance of the receivable.

Selling expenses for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 were $2,458 compared with $1,822 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002, demonstrating no overall change in selling costs. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 were $84,626 compared with $284,427 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased cost of travel, professional fees and premises costs resulting from the contraction of operations.

Other income (expense) was net interest costs (7,419) for the quarter ended August 31, 2003 compared to interest income $3,533 for the quarter ended August 31, 2002. This change from net interest income to net in terest expense reflects the financing cost associated with the convertible debenture. Long-term interest expense for this quarter was $6,881 versus nil in 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date the Company has incurred significant losses both for the current year to date and the previous fiscal years. In addition, the Company has accumulated a significant deficit. These losses and the deficit have been funded primarily by the issuance of securities including funds derived from a convertible debenture completed in the fourth quarter to May 31, 2003. During the past quarter the Company did not carry out any financings.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is uncertain and is dependant upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, option holders and warrant holders or upon its ability to obtain additional financing or new equity. It’s ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operations will depend on numerous factors. These factors include its ability to attract strategic, corporate partners for the development, marketing, distribution and sale of its software products, the progress of its research and development programs and its ability to protect its proprietary rights over the product names and trademarks. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. To date The Company has been able to achieve certain milestones in its efforts to combat these dependant factors including the registration of its trademark Open|EC, continued innovation from research and development and building contacts and alliances with potential strategic corporate partners.

As of August 31, 2003, the Company had $106,804 in cash and cash equivalents.. This, including other current assets, brought its total working capital to ($235,909). The Company also has the potential to raise future capital through the exercise of warrants and stock options. However, there is no assurance that the exercise of warrants will occur or that employees, directors or agents will exercise their stock options ..

Subsequent Events

The Company had no significant events subsequent to the quarter end.

Milestones and Benchmarks

The Company’s near term milestones include:

The development, with its partner Mala Ventures, Inc. (a company controlled by a director of the Company) of a suite of products to be co-marketed by an independent third party U.S. company to their existing customer base. The delivery of these products and their commercial application is expected in the fiscal year ended 2004.

The settlement of certain longstanding liabilities by way of share for debt settlements and the completion of a working capital financing of $500,000 within the next nine months.
