1.2
Over-all Performance
The performance of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflects the formal launching of MicroView FM 2.65 to industry professionals at the World Workplace Conference in Salt Lake City October 18-21, 2004. Also, at the Archibus International User's Conference held April 19-21, 2004 in Boston, Mass., dealers were able to view the new product through a presentation and workshop held privately, prior to the conference. All dealers with clients currently owning a version of MicroView FM were made aware of the opportunity to upgrade their clients. This fully updated version of the mobile technology includes many improvements to existing MicroView functionality as well as a host of new features including Inspections and Surveys for Condition Assessment and Parts Inventory Management. Orders are now being shipped worldwide.
The new features include new functionality within the building operations and condition assessment activities. Also included are significant improvements to the overall usability of all modules and enhancements designed to take advantage of new features within the latest ARCHIBUS/FM release.
During the year, the Company continued its introduction of MicroView Parking Manager, a groundbreaking tool that will maximize parking revenues and streamline operations for any business which manages large-scale parking operations. The Beta testing phase of this product is now completed through the participation of the British Columbia Institute of Technology which has offered valuable feedback to the Company for the final product enhancements.
MicroView Parking Manager delivers powerful desktop and handheld tools with a broader range of functions than other traditional technologies. Parking passes, lot capacities, pass history, violations, tickets and waiting lists can all be managed through this innovative technology and in concert with existing enterprise information built on ARCHIBUS FM. This technology can also be expanded through optional tools for MicroView handheld computers.
The Company has actively participated in marketing events during the year that have highlighted AssistGlobal's hosting capabilities for Primavera software for Project Management. This represents a

new revenue stream for the Company with new clients, Excel Energy of Minneapolis, MN, Ledcor Group of Vancouver, BC, Stuart Olsen Construction of Vancouver, BC, and Ameren UE of Missouri, MN. The hosting revenue generated during the year ending December 31, 2004 was $225,342 with most contracts contributing to re-occurring monthly revenue.
The Company achieved further sales of its MicroView software products and hosting services to the healthcare sector.
Two significant local regions, South Fraser Health Authority and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and one significant non-local region, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, PA, have signed contracts adding to a list of impressive recent agreements. The Company continues to aggressively pursue new business within the other three healthcare regions of British Columbia through the leveraging of business relationships with companies already positioned with active on-going contracts in these regions.
Other healthcare facilities using AssistGlobal products and services include: V.A. Medical Center (Los Angeles, CA), City of Hope (Los Angeles, CA), V.A. Medical Center (Salt Lake City, UT), Hershey Medical Center (Hershey, PA), Cedar Sinai Hospital (Los Angeles, CA), Santa Clara Valley Health & Hospital System (Santa Clara, CA), Mercy Health Partners (U.S.A.), Blue Cross Blue Shield (North Carolina) and Brigham & Women's Hospital (Boston, MA).
Budget restraints for most hospitals have forced a careful consideration at all levels prior to any purchase decisions. AssistGlobal solutions favor a progressive, proactive approach to the management of healthcare facilities and operations. The Company works with healthcare professionals to streamline workflow, eliminate redundancies and provide better access to their information. The results are solutions that provide healthcare managers with measurable improvements to their operations.
The project and facilities management industry is witnessing the proliferation of web-based applications. AssistGlobal anticipates that the trend away from client servers towards web-based applications, will spur changes to software and hosting solutions within the next several years.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU"), to acquire Fine Arts and Software Inc. ("FAS") of Philadelphia, PA., USA.
Pursuant to the MOU, the Company will issue up to 2,160,000 common shares ("Purchase Price") of its common stock to the sole shareholder of FAS, Howard Shotz. The Purchase Price will vest in three tranches. The first tranche of 720,000 common shares of the Company will be issued to FAS upon the signing of a definitive agreement. The second tranche of 720,000 common shares of the Company will be issued to FAS after 12 months from the date of the definitive agreement and the third tranche of 720,000 common shares of the Company will be issued to FAS after 24 months from the date of the definitive agreement. Both the second and third tranches of shares are also subject to FAS having met certain financial performance measures.
This MOU will terminate on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the definitive agreement or sixty days from September 24, 2004 unless extended by the Company. The MOU has since been terminated.
Subsequent to the year end, the Company proposed, subject to shareholder approval, to conduct an issuer bid to acquire its issued and outstanding shares. Shares tendered under the issuer bid that are

taken up by the Company will be paid for through the issuance of shares of AssistGlobal Inc. ("AGI"), the wholly-owned operations subsidiary of the Company. The Company will issue one share from treasury of AGI for each 10 shares of the Company tendered under the issuer bid.
Three directors and two employees have agreed to collectively tender 7,312,910 of their shares of the Company pursuant to the issuer bid.

Such financing may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependant of the realization of management's plans.

The increase in loss was primarily attributable to increased corporate activity as a result of the reverse takeover of ACI. Another factor which impacted the increase in loss for the year was the change in accounting policy for stock options whereby the Company recorded a compensation expense of $298,883 during the year for stock options granted to directors and consultants under the fair value based method.
The Company's total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased to $690,403 compared to $651,290 for the preceding year, an increase in revenues of $39,113. Revenues were derived from software sales, hosting services and facilities management services. Sales increased through additional marketing and sales efforts made throughout the year. The most significant increase was in software sales where the Company's new MicroView FM version 2.65 was rolled out to the ARCHIBUS FM dealer channel. Upgrades to this version were a new source of revenue for the Company. AssistGlobal is an authorized dealer for ARCHIBUS FM and sales for this product and support services increased during the year due to the closing of sales into the health care sector.
Direct costs increased to $489,329 during the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $478,167 during the previous year, an increase of $11,162. Direct cost increased due to the hiring of a VP of sales and some additional expenses associated with sales.
Over-all general and administrative expenses increased from $702,036 during the year ended December 31, 2003 to $918,446 during the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $216,410.
Consulting and management fees increased to $207,739 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $143,218 in 2003. This increase was the result of a consulting services agreement and a management services contract entered into by the Company with companies controlled by a director and

an officer of the Company. The consulting contract for Catherine Stauber was entered into January 1, 2004 for a term of 3 years with annual compensation being $75,000 per year.
Travel, advertising and promotion increased by $28,349, from $49,853 for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $78,202 for 2004, as a result of increased marketing activities for existing product lines, MicroView FM and Hosting Services for Archibus and Primavera software products.

Proposed Transactions
Subsequent to the year end, the Company announced that it is proposing to conduct an issuer bid to acquire its issued and outstanding shares. Shares tendered under the issuer bid that are taken up by the Company will be paid for through the issuance of shares of AssistGlobal Inc. ("AGI"), the wholly-owned operations subsidiary of the Company. The Company will issue one share from treasury of AGI for each 10 shares of the Company tendered under the issuer bid. The issuer bid will be made to shareholders in British Columbia and other jurisdictions where the offer may lawfully be made and as determined by management. The Company will prepare an issuer bid circular to be delivered to shareholders of the Company that are entitled to participate.
Catherine Stauber, Chief Executive Officer and director, and Geoffrey Dryer, President and director, have agreed to collectively tender 1,585,512 of their shares of the Company pursuant to the issuer bid. The Company will cancel all of the shares of AGI held by the Company upon completion of the issuer bid. As a result, upon completion of the bid, shareholders receiving shares of AGI pursuant to the bid will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of AGI, and the Company will have divested its ownership of AGI.
The bid will be made subject to shareholder approval of the disposition of AGI. Shareholders of record as at the close of business on April 25, 2005 will receive a comprehensive information circular describing the issuer bid and certain related matters. The Company will engage an independent business valuator to prepare a valuation report, details of which will be summarized in the information circular prepared in connection with the bid. In connection with the disposition of AGI, Catherine Stauber, Geoffrey Dryer and Robert Visser will not stand for re-election as directors at the Company's upcoming AGM, and will step down as officers of the Company.
The Company's decision to divest its interest in AGI follows various efforts to raise further financing for the business of AGI, which have not been successful. As a result, the board of directors of the Company and AGI have mutually determined that the transaction is in the best interests of both companies. The issuer bid will provide shareholders of the Company, that are resident in the jurisdictions in which the bid is being made, an opportunity to select whether to maintain their investment in the Company or to invest directly in AGI.
AGI has entered into an agreement in principle with Meridex Software Corporation (TSX-V: MSC) whereby upon completion of the issuer bid, Meridex is proposing to enter into an agreement to acquire the shares or assets AGI. The acquisition of AGI is subject to a number of conditions, including
10

completion of the issuer bid, board approvals, and entering into a definitive agreement with AGI. Catherine Stauber has agreed to act as Senior Vice President of Meridex effective as of April 4, 2005. The acquisition by Meridex will be made in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company has agreed with AGI that subject to completion of the issuer bid, it will forgive approximately $279,230 of intercorporate debt.
Following the completion of the issuer bid, the Company will consolidate its share capital at a ratio to be determined, subject to shareholder approval.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Not applicable.
1.13
Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption
The Company has a stock option plan, which is described in Note 8 (c). Effective July 1, 2002, the Company applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, only to employee stock appreciation rights, and applied the settlement method of accounting to employee stock options. Under the settlement method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital and no compensation expense was recognized.
The CICA Accounting Standards Board has amended CICA Handbook Section 3870 - Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments -to require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method, beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the award's vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under amended Section 3870, the Company has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after July 1, 2002, and has restated prior periods. The effect of retroactively adopting the fair value based method is to increase net loss by $231,976 for the year ended December 31, 2003 (2002 - $nil), to increase deficit by $231,976 as at December 31, 2003 (2002 -$nil), and to increase additional paid-in capital by $231,976 as at December 31, 2003 (2002 -$nil).
1.14
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
(a)
Fair values
The carrying amounts of: cash and cash equivalents; accounts receivable; income taxes receivable; unearned revenue; accounts payable and accrued liabilities; demand loan; and capital leases approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk reflects the risk that the Company may be unable to recover contractual receivables. The Company sells its products to customers in Canada and the United States. One customer represents
11

Management Discussion & Analysis

approximately 23% of the accounts receivable balance. The Company employs established credit approval policies to mitigate this risk.
(c)
Currency risk
Foreign currency risk reflects the risk that the Company's net assets will be negatively impacted due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange contracts to hedge against gains or losses from foreign exchange fluctuations. At December 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents include a balance of $7,360 USD (2003 - $12,354 USD), accounts receivable of $64,074 USD (2003 - $34,294 USD) and accounts payable of $28,981 USD (2003 - $22,472 USD).

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders of:
Assistglobal Technologies Corp.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Assistglobal Technologies Corp. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years 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 audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company is not required to have, nor have we been engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
COMMENTS BY AUDITOR ON CANADA - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REPORTING DIFFERENCE
The standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board require the addition of an explanatory paragraph when the 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 generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, our report to the shareholders dated April 27, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
The standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there are changes in accounting principles that have a material effect on the comparability of the Company's financial statements, such as the change described in Note 3 (j) to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated April 27, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to such changes in accounting principles in the auditors' report when the change is properly accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

DECEMBER 31, 2004
1.
GOING CONCERN AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Certain conditions discussed below, currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $718,439; for the year ended December 31, 2003, a net loss of $528,432; and at December 31, 2004, had an accumulated deficit of $1,776,675. At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash of $15,819.
Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the Company proposed, subject to shareholder approval, to conduct an issuer bid to acquire its issued and outstanding shares. Shares tendered under the issuer bid that are taken up by the Company will be paid for through the issuance of shares of AssistGlobal Inc. ("AGI"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company will issue one share from treasury of AGI for each ten (10) shares of the Company tendered under the bid.
Three directors and two employees have agreed to collectively tender 7,312,910 of their shares of the Company pursuant to the issuer bid. The Company will cancel all of the shares of AGI held by the Company upon completion of the issuer bid. As a result, upon completion of the bid, shareholders receiving shares of AGI pursuant to the bid will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of AGI, and the Company will have divested its ownership of AGI.
The Company has agreed with AGI that subject to completion of the issuer bid, it will forgive approximately $279,230 of inter-corporate debt.
Should the Company complete its issuer bid and divest itself of AGI, it will have no operating business.
The Company's future operations are dependant upon its ability to obtain third party financing in the form of equity and/or debt and ultimately to generate future profitable operations. Such financing may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependant on the realization of management's plans. If management is unsuccessful in raising future debt or equity financings, the Company will be required to liquidate assets and curtail or possibly cease operations.

REVERSE ACQUISITION OF ASSISTGLOBAL.COM COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND NAME CHANGES
These consolidated financial statements are the continuing financial statements of AssistGlobal Inc. (formerly AssistGlobal.com Communications Inc.) ("ACI"), a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On July 6, 2003, ACI was recapitalized and acquired IGN Internet Global Network Inc. ("IGN"), an inactive Canadian corporation which traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board.
Pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement dated July 6, 2003 between ACI, the Company and the shareholders of ACI, the shareholders of ACI agreed to exchange all of their shares of ACI for shares of IGN. On closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on July 6, 2003, IGN acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ACI by issuing 10,350,000 post consolidated common shares of IGN to the shareholders of ACI. As a result of this transaction, the shareholders in ACI acquired control of IGN. In addition, the Company issued 750,000 common shares as a finder's fee for the acquisition.
On September 9, 2003, a special shareholders' resolution was passed to change IGN's name to AssistGlobal Technologies Corp. ("ATC").
These consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent ATC but are considered a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of the legal subsidiary, ACI.

(a)
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AssistGlobal Inc., AssistGlobal USA Inc., Microview Information Systems Inc. and G & S CAD Solutions Ltd., and the results of their operations from the dates of acquisition. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
(b)
Accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
(c)
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.
(d)
Deferred finance charges
Deferred finance charges relating to the Company's capital leases are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the leases.
(e)

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Annual rates of amortization are as follows:
Computer equipment
30%
declining balance
Computer software
50%

20%
declining balance
In the year of acquisition, these rates are reduced by one-half.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
(g)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company provides turnkey web-hosted applications and sells packaged and custom software products and related consulting services. Software product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is received or the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from packaged software products are recorded when the payment has been received and the software has been shipped. Revenue is recognized, net of discount and allowances, at the time of product shipment. Provisions are recorded for returns, concessions and bad debts and at December 31, 2004 amounted to $NIL. Revenue related to obligations, which include telephone support for certain products, are based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") when significant. The Company VSOE is determined by the price charged when each element is sold separately. Revenue from non-recurring programming, software engineering fees, consulting service,support arrangements and training programs are recognized when the services are provided.
(h)
Software development costs
Software development costs are capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalizable software development costs have not been significant and accordingly no amounts have been capitalized.
(i)
Functional currency
The Canadian dollar is the Company's functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at year end. Revenue and expense items are translated at the rate prevailing when they were incurred.
(j)
Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock option plan, which is described in Note 8(c). Effective July 1, 2002, the Company applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, only to employee stock appreciation rights, and applied the settlement method of accounting to employee stock options. Under the settlement method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options or purchase of stock is credited to share capital and no compensation expense is recognized.
The CICA Accounting Standards Board has amended CICA Handbook Section 3870 - Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments - to require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method, beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the award's vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under amended Section 3870, the Company has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after July 1, 2002, and has restated prior periods. The effect of retroactively adopting the fair value based method is to increase net loss by $231,976 for the year ended December 31, 2003 (2002 - $NIL), to increase deficit by $231,976 as at December 31, 2003 (2002 - $NIL), and to increase additional paid-in capital by $231,976 as at December 31, 2003 (2002 - $NIL).

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, continued
Three directors and two employees, have agreed to collectively tender 7,312,910 of their shares of the Company pursuant to the issuer bid. The Company will cancel all of the shares of AGI held by the Company upon completion of the issuer bid. As a result, upon completion of the bid, shareholders receiving shares of AGI pursuant to the bid will hold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of AGI, and the Company will have divested its ownership of AGI.
The bid will be made subject to shareholder approval of the disposition of AGI. Shareholders of record as at the close of business on April 25, 2005 will receive a comprehensive information circular describing the issuer bid and certain related matters. The Company will engage an independent business valuator to prepare a valuation report, details of which will be summarized in the information circular prepared in connection with the bid. In connection with the disposition of AGI, Catherine Stauber, Geoffrey Dryer and Robert Visser will not stand for re-election as directors at the Company's upcoming AGM, and will step down as officers of the Company.
The Company's decision to divest its interest in AGI follows various efforts to raise further financing for the business of AGI, which have not been successful. As a result, the board of directors of the Company and AGI have mutually determined that the transaction is in the best interest of both companies. The issuer bid will provide shareholders of the Company, that are resident in the jurisdictions in which the bid is being made, an opportunity to select whether to maintain their investment in the Company or to invest directly in AGI.
AGI has entered into an agreement in principle with Meridex Software Corporation ("Meridex") (TSX-V: MSC) whereby upon completion of the issuer bid, Meridex is proposing to enter into an agreement to acquire the shares or assets of AGI. The acquisition of AGI is subject to a number of conditions, including completion of the issuer bid, board approvals, and entering into a definitive agreement with AGI. Catherine Stauber has agreed to act as Senior Vice President of Meridex effective April 4, 2005. The acquisition by Meridex will be made in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company has agreed with AGI that subject to completion of the issuer bid, it will forgive approximately $279,230 of inter-corporate debt.
Following the completion of the issuer bid, the Company will consolidate its share capital at a ratio to be determined, subject to shareholder approval.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. The Company's net loss reported under Canadian GAAP is consistent with the net loss and comprehensive income that would be reported under U.S. GAAP.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment. This standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value-based method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. SFAS No. 123R is effective for financial statements issued at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets. The provisions of this statement is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively, and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. the adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Based on my knowledge, the annual financial statements together with the other financial information included in the annual filings fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the issuer, as of the date and for the periods presented in the annual filings;
4.
The issuer's other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the issuer, and we have:
(a)
designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused them to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the interim filings are being prepared; and
(b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused it to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer's GAAP; and
5.
I have caused the issuer to disclosed in the annual MD&A any change in the issuer's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the issuer's most recent year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
