NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
1.
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, AssistGlobal Inc. (formerly AssistGlobal.com Communications Inc.) ("AGI"), is engaged in the business of developing, selling, hosting and supporting project and facility management software and providing other custom application solutions globally. The main proprietary line Microview FM is designed for use on PDA's. It records and updates facilities data on the spot for large scale reorganizations, employee moves, inventory, maintenance and inspection activities.
During the period, the Company announced its intention to dispose of the assets of AGI. See Note 4.
2.
REVERSE ACQUISITION OF AGI
These consolidated financial statements are the continuing financial statements of AGI, a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on July 6, 2003, AGI was recapitalized and acquired by 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 AGI, the Company and the shareholders of AGI, the shareholders of AGI agreed to exchange all of their shares of AGI 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 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 in AGI 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, AGI.
3.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant by the Company.
(a)
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AGI, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
(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
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%
straight line
Furniture and fixtures
20%
declining balance
Leasehold improvements
Term of lease
straight line
In the year of acquisition, these rates are reduced by one-half.
(f)
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consisted of the VAR licence to sell Archibus FM software and was recorded at a nominal $1.
(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 June 30, 2005 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. Revenue from web-hosting applications are recognized on a monthly basis as 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
(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).
(k)
Loss per share
Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. Fully diluted loss per share has not been presented as it would be anti-dilutive.
4.
PROPOSED DISPOSITION OF AGI
On July 6, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AGI in exchange for 10,350,000 common shares of the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse takeover in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles during the year ended December 31, 2003.
Due to unsuccessful efforts of the Company to secure financing for AGI's operations, the board of directors of each of the Company and AGI have determined that it is in the best interests of both companies that the Company divest of all of its interest in AGI to the former principal shareholders ("AGI Principals").
As a result, during the period, the Company, AGI and AGI's Principals entered into a purchase and sale agreement dated effective May 16, 2005 (the "AGI Sale Agreement") whereby the AGI Principals will return 6,750,251 shares of the Company, representing all the shares of the Company directly or indirectly held by the AGI principals, in exchange for 100% of the shares of AGI. As part of the transaction, the Company will forgive $279,230 of intercorporate debt owed by AGI to the Company and transfer its ownership of AssistGlobal (USA) Inc. to AGI.
The AGI Sale Agreement and all transactions related thereto have been approved by special resolution passed at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders ("AGM") held on June 14, 2005.

Over-all Performance
During the period, the Company proposed to conduct an issuer bid to acquire its issued and outstanding shares. Subsequently, the Company decided not to proceed with the disposition of AssistGlobal Inc. ("AGI") by way of issuer bid. Instead, the Company, AGI and AGI's Principals entered into a purchase and sale agreement dated effective May 16, 2005 (the "AGI Sale Agreement") whereby the AGI Principals will return 6,750,251 shares of the Company, representing all the shares of the Company directly or indirectly held by the AGI principals, in exchange for 100% of the shares of AGI. As part of the transaction, the Company will forgive $279,230 of intercorporate debt owed by AGI to the Company and transfer its ownership of AssistGlobal (USA) Inc. to AGI.
The directors of the company engaged the firm of Evans & Evans, Inc. to prepare an independent valuation report respecting the disposition of the shares of AGI. Details of the report are summarized in the information circular sent to shareholders in connection with the 2005 annual and special meeting of shareholders.
The AGI Sale Agreement and all transactions related thereto have been approved by special resolution passed at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders ("AGM") held on June 14, 2005.
During the period, AGI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 24, 2005 with Meridex Software Corporation ("Meridex") whereby Meridex acquired all of the assets of AGI for $3,000. The assets include intellectual property (the MicroView product line) and equipment, all strategic, to Meridex's goal of expanding their software and hosting offerings into the international marketplace.
In connection with the disposition of AGI, Catherine Stauber, Geoffrey Dryer and Robert Visser did not stand for re-election as directors at the Company's AGM, and stepped 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.
Subsequent to the period, the Company has disposed of the assets of AGI and is winding up the remaining operations of AGI. In line with the winding up of operations, all employees and officers of AGI

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 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).
