LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Third Quarter 2003 Operational Results

Triant’s revenue for the first nine months of 2003 was $4.4 million compared to $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2002, while operating losses were $2.1 million compared to $3.6 million. The weak world economy and semiconductor industry for the past two years have reduced capital spending and have lengthened the Company’s sales cycle in some cases. The Company believes the demand for APC (Advanced Process Control) products and services will continue to increase on a year-over-year basis as customers realize their benefits. Research and development expenses were lowered to $1.9 million from $3.0 million, primarily reflecting the Company’s transition during 2002 away from using outsourced software development services. The net loss for the nine months of 2003 decreased to $2.7 million from $3.4 million for the comparative period and we remained financially strong with cash resources of $9.0 million at quarter-end.

We estimate our break-even revenue point for 2003 at around $10 million, which is based on the Company’s estimates of a 76% average gross margin, $4.2 million for research and development expenses, and $3.6 million for selling, general and administrative expenses. As substantially all our sales are conducted in U.S. dollars and our expenses are primarily in Canadian dollars, it should be noted that a stronger Canadian dollar has the effect of making it more challenging to reach this break-even point.

We are making good progress in our market development activities, which include opening up new accounts and further strengthening our relationships with key existing accounts. We are currently deployed on over 3,500 pieces of equipment and five out of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers use ModelWare, which we believe clearly puts us in a leading position amongst APC vendors.

We continue to focus on securing fab-wide licenses for ModelWare. We anticipate entering into several new fab-wide licenses in the near term and have significant opportunities in Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

Despite the industry uncertainty, our customers are cautiously deploying APC solutions to provide them with a competitive advantage in the area of advanced manufacturing. We are seeing more and more focus from our customers on fab-wide deployments as they realize the benefits of our solution.

Our growth strategy is to focus on the semiconductor industry and develop a sustainable and profitable business in this industry segment. In addition, we are cautiously exploring opportunities in other vertical markets where our technology can be used.

One such market is psychometrics, which we define as the ability to measure and classify human characteristics. Triant’s Psychometric Division has successfully introduced its C-RAS^TM product into the corrections industry within the United States. C-RAS stands for Corrections Risk Assessment System and is a state-of-the-art software tool, which uses Triant’s proprietary modeling technology to provide corrections agencies with valuable risk assessment information on offenders. While still at a very early stage of adoption, we have seen many states express considerable interest in C-RAS within their Departments of Corrections.

Our vision remains the same – building a global business centered on our core competencies and unique technology.

Key Fiscal 2003 Operational Objectives

We believe Triant is well positioned for continued growth and can increase revenue in 2003 by meeting the following objectives:

•

Expanding deployments of ModelWare in existing accounts and opening up new accounts in Asia, USA and Europe where evaluations are in-progress

•

Aggressively pricing ModelWare for fab-wide deployment

•

Continuing to build an excellent global sales, support and service organization

•

Focusing our Applications Engineering group on solving our customers’ tough manufacturing problems thereby providing a solid return on investment for the deployment of ModelWare

•

Enhancing ModelWare; developing new and complementary products aimed at the semiconductor industry; and cautiously exploring new vertical markets

Outlook

We continue to work diligently to provide our global customers with fab-wide solutions to improve the effectiveness of their wafer processing equipment. We believe that the unfolding migration to 300mm fabrication plants will be a key catalyst for broad APC adoption.

Semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly interested in implementing fab-wide APC solutions, rather than smaller quantities of licenses; it is not unusual for a manufacturer to plan for multiple fab-wide licenses. The market is now maturing, and our customers want to buy a standard product and have it implemented quickly and effectively, so that they can enjoy the benefits of APC. There are encouraging signs that APC will become a manufacturing standard in the semiconductor industry.

Our outlook for the remainder of 2003 continues to be positive, as we believe Triant is the industry leader in terms of the number of fault detection licenses implemented. Our increasing deployments of ModelWare licenses globally indicate that there is a growing demand for this technology from the leading semiconductor manufacturers.

2003 THIRD QUARTER REPORT

Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Those interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) for interim financial statements as disclosed in Note 1 to those interim financial statements, which in the case of those interim financial statements, conform in all material respects with those in the United States (U.S. GAAP), except as disclosed in Note 7 to those interim financial statements and discussed herein. All figures herein are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

General

The nature of operations is outlined within Note 1 to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. The Company develops, markets and supports equipment health monitoring, advanced fault detection and sophisticated data analysis technology. The Company’s revenue is derived principally from the sale of software licenses, products and services, including software updates and maintenance services provided pursuant to annual service agreements. The Company currently derives revenue primarily from a limited number of customers in the semiconductor industry. As these customers are geographically dispersed and the Company closely monitors credit granted to each customer, credit risks are considered to be minimal. The Company identifies Canada as the primary economic environment in which it operates and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. A substantial amount of the Company’s revenue and receivables is denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company translates revenue and the related receivable at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the sale. Funds denominated in U.S. dollars are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses resulting from variations in exchange rates, upon translation into Canadian dollars, are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company’s principal product, ModelWare, is priced and sold only in U.S. dollars due to the adoption of a common software industry practice of billing worldwide customers in U.S. dollars. This policy of invoicing in U.S. dollars introduces a price risk from exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Any increase in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar results in increased revenue and net earnings to the Company as the majority of the Company’s expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. A decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar would decrease sales revenue and would impact the Company’s net earnings. For example, if the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar had increased (decreased) by an additional 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, then revenue would have increased (decreased) by approximately 1% or $44,100, costs and expenses would have increased (decreased) by approximately 0.2% or $9,500 and loss from operations and net loss would have decreased (increased) by $34,600. The Company does not hedge foreign currency transactions nor funds denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company’s operating results are sensitive to fluctuations in revenue as the base of expenses is relatively fixed over the short-term. The Company has developed and continually seeks to refine its management practices to allow initiation of timely corrective actions if operating results fail to reach pre-determined objectives.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

The significant accounting policies are outlined within Note 2 to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. Some of those accounting policies require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported by the Company. The following items require the most significant judgment and may involve complex estimation:

Use of estimates

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, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the periods presented. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for doubtful accounts, determination of the net recoverable value of assets, amortization, income taxes, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed when incurred. Under Canadian GAAP, development costs are capitalized to the extent that recovery of these costs is assured, and are amortized over the life of the related product. No development costs have been capitalized as at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The assessment of the extent to which development costs should be expensed or capitalized may have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue recognition

Revenues from software license agreements are recognized upon delivery of software if persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, the fee is fixed or determinable, and vendor-specific objective evidence exists to allocate the total fee to elements of the arrangement. Vendor-specific objective evidence is typically based on the price charged when an element is sold separately, or, in the case of an element not yet sold separately, the price established by authorized management, if it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before market introduction. Elements included in multiple element arrangements could consist of software products, upgrades, enhancements, or customer support services. If an acceptance period is required, revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. The Company’s agreements with its customers and resellers do not contain product return rights.

Service revenues are primarily related to training performed on a time-and-materials basis under separate service arrangements related to the use of the Company’s software products. Revenues from services are recognized as services are performed.

Where the Company enters into arrangements which require customization of hardware bundled with software, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery and acceptance by the customer where the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. If the fee is not fixed or determinable due to the existence of extended payment terms, revenue is recognized periodically as payments become due, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition are met.

If a transaction includes both license and service elements, license fee revenues are recognized on shipment of the software, provided services do not include significant customization or modification of the base product, and the payment terms for licenses are not subject to acceptance criteria. In cases where license fee payments are contingent on acceptance of services, the Company defers recognition of revenues from both the license and the service elements until the acceptance criteria are met. Deferred revenue on sales to distributors is recorded net of direct commissions paid.

Revenue related to maintenance agreements for supporting and maintaining the Company’s products is recognized rateably over the term of the agreement, generally one year. Where the Company enters into arrangements for the sale of software licenses and maintenance, the Company accounts for such transactions as multiple element arrangements and allocates the consideration received to each element, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the price charged for elements separately. As a result, revenues recognized from maintenance and license agreements may vary depending on the allocation determined by the Company.

The revenue recognition policies and related estimates, such as the determination of the percentage stage of completion and percentage imputed for the initial maintenance period, may have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Warranty

A provision for potential warranty claims is provided for at the time that the sale is recognized, based on warranty terms, and prior experience. While these estimates are determined based on product history, actual claims may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Stock-based compensation

The Company adopted the recommendations of the CICA Handbook section 3870, Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, effective January 1, 2002. This section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of stock-based compensation and other stock-based awards made in exchange for goods and services. The Company has adopted the disclosure only approach for stock-based awards to employees and directors rather than the fair value method. As a result, there is no compensatory charge for these items, which would otherwise adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based awards to employees, and accordingly does not generally recognize compensation expense. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Compensation costs related to stock-based awards to non-employees are recognized under U.S. GAAP as an expense in the period incurred.

Operating Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $1,896,313 compared to $1,315,772 for the third quarter of 2002. The weak world economy and semiconductor industry for the past two years have reduced capital spending and have lengthened Triant’s sales cycle in some cases. The Company believes the demand for APC (Advanced Process Control) products and services will continue to increase on a year-over-year basis as customers realize their benefits. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company continued to pursue licensing, service and maintenance opportunities for ModelWare and related products with various semiconductor manufacturers through the Company’s distribution channels in Asia and directly in Europe and the United States. The Company received $1.8 million in new orders during the third quarter of 2003 compared to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. The Company ended the third quarter of 2003 with deferred revenue and backlog totalling $0.7 million compared to $2.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2002.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $511,716 compared to $305,480 for the third quarter of 2002. Gross margin and gross margin percentage for the third quarter of 2003 were $1,384,597 and 73%, respectively, compared to $1,010,292 and 77%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in gross margin percentage was attributable to the combined effect of changes in the distribution channel mix and the product mix.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $1,714,937 compared to $2,599,105 for the third quarter of 2002. The 34% decrease in operating expenses was attributable to significantly lower research and development expenses, as well as lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $937,353 compared to $1,569,587 for the third quarter of 2002. The 40% decrease in research and development expenses reflected the Company’s decision during 2002 to transition away from using outsourced software development to building an in-house, world-class research and development team. Development work in the third quarter of 2003 focused primarily on increasing the ease-of-use and functionality of ModelWare and related products. Research and development expenses represented the largest expense category for the Company for the third quarters of 2003 and 2002 as the Company continued to invest in core product development activities necessary for developing, enhancing, maintaining, and supporting the capabilities of its products and technical operations. With continuing technological change and competitive pressures characterizing the markets for the Company’s products and services, the Company expensed costs relating to research and development, as recovery of such costs from future revenue was not assured.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $777,584 compared to $1,029,518 for the third quarter of 2002. The 24% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses included the impact of reduced non-core marketing activities during the third quarter of 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented the second largest expense category for the third quarters of 2003 and 2002 as the Company continued to invest in core sales and market development activities necessary to further strengthen key account relationships and to achieve its goal of providing customers with “best-of-breed” solutions for equipment health monitoring, advanced fault detection and sophisticated data analysis technology.

Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $330,340 compared to $1,588,813 for the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in loss from operations was due to a combination of higher revenue and lower operating expenses.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $330,585 compared to $1,205,905 for the third quarter of 2002. This included foreign exchange losses of $36,598 on U.S. dollar denominated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments for the third quarter of 2003 compared to foreign exchange gains of $293,328 during the third quarter of 2002 resulting from changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.

Loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $0.01 compared to $0.03 for the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in loss per share resulted from a combination of decreased net loss and decreased weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The Company estimates its break-even revenue point for 2003 at around $10 million, which is based on the Company’s estimates of a 76% average gross margin, $4.2 million for research and development expenses, and $3.6 million for selling, general and administrative expenses. As substantially all of the Company’s sales are conducted in U.S. dollars and its expenses are primarily in Canadian dollars, it should be noted that a strengthening Canadian dollar has the effect of making it more challenging to reach this break-even point.

Canadian GAAP conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP for each of the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $4,404,489 compared to $4,744,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This revenue was substantially attributable to ModelWare, as the Company continued to focus on fab-wide license opportunities for its principal product. ModelWare is currently deployed on over 3,500 pieces of equipment and five out of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers use ModelWare. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company received $4.1 million in new orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $1,139,064 compared to $1,189,945 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Gross margin and gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $3,265,425 and 74%, respectively, compared to $3,554,714 and 75%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in gross margin percentage was attributable to the distribution channel mix and the product mix.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $5,334,390 compared to $7,188,421 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The 26% decrease in operating expenses was attributable to significantly lower research and development expenses, as well as lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,843,692 compared to $4,577,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and represented the largest expense category for the Company for each of these respective nine months. The 38% decrease in research and development expenses was attributable to the reduction in outsourced software development services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $2,490,698 compared to $2,610,716 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and represented the second largest expense category for the Company for each of these respective nine months. The 5% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to reduced non-core marketing activities during the third quarter of 2003.

Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $2,068,965 compared to a loss from operations of $3,633,707 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in loss from operations was due to a combination of higher revenue and lower operating expenses.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $2,737,803 compared to $3,395,459 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This included foreign exchange losses of $793,759 on U.S. dollar denominated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments for the first nine months of 2003 compared to foreign exchange losses of $19,569 for the first nine months of 2002 as a result of the significant appreciation of the Canadian dollar during 2003.

Loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $0.07 compared to $0.08 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in loss per share resulted from a combination of decreased net loss and decreased weighted average number of shares outstanding.

In order to conform Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP, loss from operations and net loss would be increased by $Nil and $6,475 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for consulting expense as compensation costs related to stock-based awards to non-employees are recognized under U.S. GAAP as an expense in the period incurred. As a result of these adjustments, loss from operations under U.S. GAAP would have been $2,068,965 and $3,640,182 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and net loss under U.S. GAAP would have been $2,737,803 and $3,401,934 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and basic and diluted loss per share under U.S. GAAP would have been $0.07 and $0.08 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Significant variations from U.S. GAAP are disclosed in Note 7 to the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and Note 11 to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. Recent U.S. GAAP Accounting Pronouncements include the following:

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement. The disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2003, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $9,040,953 compared to $12,442,039 at December 31, 2002; working capital was $8,247,026 compared to $11,017,628 at December 31, 2002; assets were $10,894,562 compared to $14,312,793 at December 31, 2002; and shareholders’ equity was $8,797,036 compared to $11,534,839 at December 31, 2002.

At September 30, 2003, 4% of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were denominated in U.S. dollars compared to 46% as at September 30, 2002. Any increase (decrease) in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar would increase (decrease) cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and would impact the Company’s net earnings. For example, if the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar had increased (decreased) by an additional 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, then cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments would have increased (decreased) and net loss would have decreased (increased) by approximately $3,394. The Company does not hedge funds denominated in U.S. dollars.

During the three months ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a net inflow of cash and cash equivalents of $500,022 compared to a net outflow of $1,108,966 for the third quarter of 2002. During the third quarter of 2003, cash and cash equivalents resulted from operating activities (inflow of $558,587) and used in investing activities for capital assets (outflow of $58,565). During the third quarter of 2002, cash and cash equivalents were used in operating activities (outflow of $1,076,782) and used in investing activities for capital assets (outflow of $126,280).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company had a net outflow of cash and cash equivalents of $1,482,109 compared to a net outflow of $2,857,406 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, cash was used in operating activities (outflow of $3,115,050) and used in investing activities for capital assets (outflow of $159,719). During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, cash was used in operating activities (outflow of $2,752,665), resulted from financing activities for issuances of common shares (inflow of $13,750) and used in investing activities for capital assets (outflow of $223,078).

Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the purchase of 189,500 of the Company’s shares under a Normal Course Issuer Bid at an average price of $0.77 per share and a total cost of $146,509 was an outflow of cash by the Company for financing activities for acquisition of treasury stock. These shares were cancelled on July 15, 2002.

The Company’s Normal Course Issuer Bid ended on August 31, 2003 without any additional purchases of the Company’s shares and has not been renewed.

Effective February 21, 2003, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan, which has received regulatory approval and which was ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the annual general meeting held on June 19, 2003. The shareholder rights plan is intended to provide the board of directors of the Company and its shareholders with a reasonable period of time to fully consider any unsolicited take-over bid. It will also provide the board with more time to consider and pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives for the purpose of maximizing shareholder value. The shareholder rights plan is in effect for five years with two five-year renewal options subject to shareholder approval.

The Company believes that its existing cash resources are sufficient to fund expected capital requirements and operating losses for the next 12 months. The Company intends to use its existing cash resources to fund research and development of existing and new technologies; to fund new business development programs, including sales and marketing of existing and new products; and for general corporate purposes, including possible future acquisitions and investments. While management anticipates continued growth in revenue from its products and services, there is no assurance that the Company will earn sufficient revenue to maintain future operations and fund the growth of the Company. Consequently, the Company may raise additional funds through financings in the future in order to take advantage of any growth opportunities, which may require a more rapid expansion, or acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies, the formation of new alliances, the development of new products, and other responses to competitive pressures. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, if at all, on terms favourable to the Company. If such funds are unavailable or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to maintain its future operations, take advantage of opportunities, develop new products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures.

At September 30, 2003, the aggregate minimum future payments under operating leases for the years ending December 31, 2003 to 2007 are $133,223, $402,891, $233,242, $162,065, and $40,516, respectively.

Summary

The management and strategic focus of the Company is to be the market-leading provider of equipment health monitoring, advanced fault detection and sophisticated data analysis technology by offering our customers “best-of-breed” solutions. ModelWare is a complex software system that has to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, be deployable on a fab-wide scale, provide solutions to the tough manufacturing problems of customers, and do so with an attractive return on investment and low cost of ownership. The Company firmly believes that for it to be a market-leader in the semiconductor industry and compete with other larger companies, it must continue to invest in research and development and market development activities to position the Company for future growth.

The total commitment of the Company to developing and commercializing world-class products is needed to enable the Company to further strengthen its relationships with existing and to win new customers in the semiconductor industry, as well as in other markets where the Company believes significant opportunities exist. This will enable the Company to successfully transition from a research and development-driven company to a market-driven company by using its financial strength for its research and development and market development activities.

(a)

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, the Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based awards to employees, and accordingly does not generally recognize compensation expense. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Compensation costs related to stock-based awards to non-employees are recognized under U.S. GAAP as an expense in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1998, the Company issued options to individuals other than employees and directors which under SFAS 123 resulted in consulting expense: for the three months ended September 30, 2003 of $Nil (2002 - $Nil); and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $Nil (2002 - $6,475). Under U.S. GAAP, amendments to the terms of options, which extend the expiration date and/or reduce the exercise price, may also result in stock-based compensation expense.

As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the standard in Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook.

(b)

Under U.S. GAAP, costs incurred in the development of products are expensed as incurred until the product is established as technologically feasible in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Under Canadian GAAP, these costs may be capitalized to the extent that they meet specified criteria for recoverability. For all periods presented, there is no difference relating to the treatment of product development costs under Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

(c)

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company includes in income, gains and losses resulting from the translation of the accounts of its foreign subsidiary. Under U.S. GAAP, where an entity’s functional currency is a foreign currency, the translation adjustment resulting from the process of translating the entity’s financial statements into the reporting currency is reported separately as a component of equity. For all periods presented, there is no material difference relating to the translation of the foreign subsidiary’s financial statements under Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company includes gains and losses from its foreign currency transactions in the determination of income. Under U.S. GAAP, a change in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which the transaction is denominated results in a transaction gain or loss that is included in income, unless the transactions are designated as effective hedges against foreign currency investments or commitments. For all periods presented, there is no difference relating to foreign currency transactions under Canadian and U.S. GAAP.

(d)

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company would calculate its future income taxes using only enacted tax rates. This differs from Canadian GAAP which uses substantively enacted tax rates. Since any change in the carrying value of the Company’s future income tax assets would be offset by a 100% valuation allowance, there would be no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

(e)

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company would have classified its short-term securities as held-to- maturity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost with corresponding premiums or discounts amortized against interest income over the life of the investment. For all periods presented, there is no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

(f)

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires a company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and elaborates on existing disclosure requirements related to guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this Statement does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that statement. The disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this Statement does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
