MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANYLSIS FOR 2003
Revenues
Sales revenues for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2003 were $651,290, an increase of 32.7% or $161,968 as compared to revenues for 2002 in the amount of $495,322. Increase in sales can be attributed to the following:
Software Sales
Software sales for MicroView/FM increased 9.9% or $14,714 to $180,042 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $149,118 for the same period the previous year.

Software sales for Archibus/FM were up 80.5% or $52,985 to $118,838 for 2003 as compared to $65,853 for 2002.
Other software revenues, primarily FM Works, increased dramatically from revenues of $881 in 2002 to revenues of $86,244 in 2003.
The increase in software revenues was largely due to the increased activity from the Archibus dealer channel in the USA and the confidence in the economy returning to near normal levels allowing large-scale organizations to make purchase decisions after lengthy periods of indecision. An increase in local market activity, primarily in the healthcare and education sectors, also added to the increase in software revenues. $12,237 of software revenue included in MicroView/FM software sales in 2003 was for MicroView subscriptions and will be pro-rated over the course of the 12-month period after it was received.
Hosting
Hosting revenues increased by 56.9% or $77,334 to $212,129 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $135,910 for the same period the previous year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in web hosting for Primavera software, a new revenue stream for the Company, and hosting clients from the healthcare sector.
Services
Service revenues declined by 63.1% or $85,761 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to service revenues of $135,865 for the previous year. The decline in service revenues was due to the Company not entering into many customization projects during the course of the year. Instead the Company focused on R&D of new versions of its MicroViewF/M Software.
Other
The Company incurred a foreign exchange loss in 2003 in the amount of $12,840 for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to a foreign exchange gain of $2,343 in 2002.
Cost of Sale and Services
Cost of Sale has increased marginally with the increase in sales. The increased sales in Archibus software and FM Works have a higher cost associated with purchasing the software as opposed to selling the Company's proprietary software MicroView/FM. Cost of hosting expense paid to Stargate Connections Inc. increased marginally in line with the increase in hosting sales. The majority of MicroView/FM sales included a hardware component; the Company realizes a low margin on hardware sales. The Company hired a new senior sales executive in October of 2003, which also added to the increase in cost of sales.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the 12 months ending December 31,2003 was $173,123 as compared to $145,062 in 2002, an increase of 19.3% or $28,061. This increase corresponds with the increased sales revenues and increase in cost of sales.

Selling and general administrative expenses increased by 42.9% or $141,048 to $470,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $329,012 for the previous year. Some of the increase, $48,300, was a one-time expense due to expensing of stock options exercised by persons that were not directors or officers of the Company. The increase in expenses was directly related to the Company entering into a major transaction (RTO) with IGN Internet Global Network Inc., which resulted in additional legal, audit and accounting fees. $21,435 of new regulatory share transfer fees was also incurred adding to the increase in expenses.
Foreign exchange costs accounted for an increase of $14,571 in expense. This was largely due to the fluctuating US/CAD exchange rates. The lag between the issuance of an invoice and the date of payment received accounted for most of the increase in foreign exchange costs.
Research and Development
Over the 12-month period ending December 31, 2003 the Company was actively developing three new products for release.The first being a new version of MicroView/FM 2.6 containing many new features and increased functionality. This product was rolled out to the Archibus dealer channel in the fall of 2003. A positive response has resulted in increased sales activity.
Thesecond milestone was achieved through the development of a new software product, the Parking Manager. Designed for the management of monthly parking, this product resulted from initial customization work for a client. The primary functionality was further developed to a shrink-wrapped product.
The third milestone was the development of another software product, the Delivery Manager. Designed for the internal distribution and tracking of packages and mail for large-scale organizations. Again, the software was a result of customization work completed for a client and further developed with additional functionality. The software is currently in Beta testing phase at Blue Cross/Blue Shield, North Carolina. The roll out is scheduled for Q2 of 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses have remained consistent during the 12 month period ending December 31, 2003, totaling $225,003, as compared to the same period in 2002, totaling $122,421.
The following transactions impacted the liquidity and capital resources of the Company during the above noted period.
1.

On closing, IGN acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of AGI by issuing 10,350,000 post-consolidated common shares of IGN to the shareholders of AGI. As a result of this transaction the shareholders of AGI acquired control of IGN. In addition, IGN issued 750,000 common shares as Finder's Fee in conjunction with the transaction.

4.
In October 2003, AssistGlobal Technologies Corp. ("AGC") loaned, by way of promissory notes totaling $100,000 CAD to AGI. The proceeds were used to hire a senior salesperson and for marketing activities, advertising and conference activities in the fall of 2003.
