1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
Nature of Operations
Titan Trading Analytics Inc. (“Titan” or the “Company”) was incorporated on November 30, 1993. The Company is a development stage company that focuses on developing financial software for market timing, trading analytics and automated trading execution. The Company has yet to establish profitable business operations and has remained in research and development mode since its incorporation. Since 2002 the Company has been developing an automated trading platform. Cumulative balances incurred in developing the automated trading platform since 2002 have been presented in the financial statements. The Company currently has two distinct trading products in its line-up, each of which is now beginning to establish a real-world track record to demonstrate its potential as a r evenue source.
Going concern
The consolidated financial statements of Titan have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the past several fiscal years as they have not completed the development of their financial software, and has an accumulated deficit of $17,277,746 at January 31, 2010.
Management has evaluated the Company’s alternatives to enable it to pay its liabilities as they become due and payable in the current year, reduce operating losses and obtain additional or new financing in order to advance its business plan. Alternatives being considered by management include, among others, obtaining financing from new lenders and the issuance of additional equity. The Company believes these measures will provide liquidity for it to continue as a going concern throughout fiscal 2010. However, management can provide no assurance thereon.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate because management believes that the actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events that raise doubts about the validity of the going concern assumption used in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
Change in Accounting Policy
a) | Section 3064, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets", replaced Section 3062, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and Section 3450, "Research and Development Costs". This section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to its initial recognition by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. This section has been adopted effective November 1, 2008 and has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. |
b) | EIC Abstract 173 “Credit Risk and The Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, requires the Company to take into account the Company’s own credit risk and the credit risk of the counterparty in determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments. EIC 173 is applied retrospectively without restatement of prior years to all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. The adoption of EIC 173 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. |
Prior Period Adjustment
In the 2007 fiscal year, the Company failed to sufficiently accrue a $58,451 consulting fee for services provided in fiscal 2007 but not invoiced and paid until the current year. As a result, the Company has restated its consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders’ equity, as at October 31, 2007 and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flow for the year ended October 31, 2007. The impact of these changes was an increase in accounts payable and deficit of $58,451, an increase to general and administrative expenses of $90,000 and a decrease in research and development expenses of $31,549.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Titan Trading GP Inc., Titan Trading Corp., Titan Holdings USA, LLC and Titan Trading USA, LLC. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed when incurred. Development costs are expensed when incurred prior to the establishment of technical feasibility. Subsequent to the establishment of technical feasibility, the costs associated with the development of a commercial product for which adequate resources exist to market the product are capitalized as software and systems development. Capitalization of development costs ceases when the product is available for general release to customers. There were no development costs capitalized during Q-1 ending January 31, 2010.
Property and Equipment
Computer equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized at 30% declining balance per annum.
Office furniture is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized at 20% declining balance per annum.
Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over the lease term.
The Company makes periodic reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of the assets would be written down to its fair value when undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Future income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Future tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the future income tax assets will be realized.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are translated using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses and other assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Gains and losses on translation are included in operations.
The Company translates the assets and liabilities of integrated foreign operations to Canadian dollars using the temporal method of translation. Under the temporal method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at year end, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at average rates of exchange during the year, with the exception of amortization which is translated at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Gains and losses resulting from translation adjustments are included in operations.
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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates used by management include valuation allowances for future income taxes, useful lives for the amortization of property and equipment, fair value of financial instruments, and determining the fair value of stock-based compensation.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted loss

per share by application of the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share is not presented when it would be anti-dilutive.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, with an original maturity of less than three months at the time of purchase.
Deferred Lease Inducement
Lease inducements received in the form of leasehold improvement costs are amortized over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock options granted to directors, officers, employees and non-employees using the fair value method of accounting. The fair value of stock options for directors, officers and employees are calculated at the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period of the options on a straight-line basis. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete, the date at which the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instrument is granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of stock options issued, which requires certain assumptions to be made at the time the options are awarded, including the expected life of the option, the expected number of granted options that will vest and the expected future volatility of the stock. As the options are exercised, the consideration paid, along with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company reflects estimates of award forfeitures at the time of grant and revises in subsequent periods, if necessary, when forfeiture rates are expected to change.
Non-monetary transactions
All non-monetary transactions are measured at the fair value of the asset surrendered or the asset received, whichever is more reliable, unless the transaction lacks commercial substance. The commercial substance requirement is met when the future cash flows are expected to change significantly as a result of the transaction.
Variable Interest Entities
Variable interest entities ("VIE") are defined under Accounting Guideline 15 "Consideration of Variable Interest Entities" ("AcG 15") as entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support, or where the equity holders lack the overall characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The guideline requires that the VIE be consolidated with the financial results of the entity deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE's

expected losses and its expected residual returns. There are no variable interest entities to be consolidated.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Joint Interest Activities
Certain of the Company’s trading activities are conducted jointly with another entity. The consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities. Such arrangements are considered to be participation funding and are not considered to be joint ventures.
Financial Instruments
All financial instruments are initially recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. They are subsequently valued either at fair value or amortized cost depending on the classification selected for the financial instrument. Financial assets are classified as either "held-for-trading", "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale" or "loans and receivables" and financial liabilities are classified as either "held-for-trading" or "other financial liabilities". Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations except for financial assets and liabilities designated as cash flow hedges which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other co mprehensive income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity or loans and receivables and financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets that have a quoted price in an active market are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. Such gains and losses are reclassified to earnings when the related financial asset is disposed of or when the decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. Equity instruments classified as "available-for-sale" that do not have a quoted price in an active market are subsequently measured at cost. Purchases and sales of financial assets will be accounted for using trade-date accounting and transaction costs relating to financial instruments will be expensed in the period incurred.
The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:
§ | Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash are classified as held-for-trading. |
§ | Due from related parties is classified as loans and receivables. |
§ | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans and advances are classified as other financial liabilities. |
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a company, during a period, from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a

period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company did not have other comprehensive income and accordingly comprehensive loss and net loss are equal.
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Future Accounting Pronouncements
a) | Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-Controlling Interests |
In January 2009, the CICA issued Sections 1582 “Business Combinations”, 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and 1602 “Non-controlling Interests” which replaces CICA Sections 1581 “Business Combinations” and 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1582 is applicable for the Company’s business combinations with acquisition dated on or after November 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is permitted. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establish standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year beginning November 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is also permitted. If the Company chooses to early adopt any one of these Sections, the other two Sections must also be adopted at the same time.
b) International Financial Reporting Standards
The AcSB will require all public companies to adopt IFRS for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company will be required to prepare both current and comparative financial information using IFRS. While the conceptual framework for IFRS and Canadian GAAP are similar, there are significant differences in recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, the financial impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably determined at this time.
4. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments consist of a $90,000 (2009 - $90,000) guaranteed investment certificate bearing interest at prime less 2.00% maturing September 3, 2010. The investment is collateral for a $90,000 letter of credit which has been issued by the Company for their leased premises.
5. RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash consists of amounts held in a trading account for the purpose of trading securities to test the financial trading software that the Company is developing and is not available for current purposes.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial risk management
The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, financial market risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial and economic markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by financial management in conjunction with overall corporate governance.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Fair Value
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, due from related party, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans and advances. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature unless otherwise noted. The fair value of loans and advances cannot be reliably determined as there is no market for loans that are non-interest bearing and have no terms of repayment.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk in its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, due from related parties and restricted cash. The maximum exposure of the credit risk is the full carrying value of the financial instrument. The Company minimizes the credit risk of cash and cash equivalent, short-term investments and restricted cash by only dealing with credit worthy financial institutions. The credit risk associated with the amounts due from related parties is also mitigated as credit is only granted to directors and officers of the Company who historically settle the amounts in a timely manner.
Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk as a result of its operations in the United States. A significant change in the currency exchange rate between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As at October 31, 2009 the Company is exposed to currency risk through its cash, short-term investments, restricted cash and loans and advances denominated in US dollars. As at October 31, 2009, US denominated cash, restricted cash and loans and advances amounted to US$43,190, $2,339 and $270,000 respectively. Based on the balances at October 31, 2009, net lo ss will increase or decrease approximately $24,000 given a 10% increase or decrease respectively, in the foreign exchange rate.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. It is managements’ opinion the Company is not exposed to any interest rate risk.
Financial Market risk
The Company’s exposure to financial market risk is limited since there are no significant financial instruments including hedges on currencies or commodities which will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations, including commitments, as they become due. In order to manage this risk, the Company forecasts its requirements to determine whether sufficient funds will be available. The Company expects to generate sufficient cash through the issuance of shares or related party loans. As at October 31, 2009, the Company was holding cash of $83,162, short-term investments of $90,000, and had a working capital deficiency of $241,862.
13. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company generated limited revenues in the current period. All of the Company’s property and equipment is located in Canada and the United States.

Loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which was 58,317,878 (2009 -49,704,562). The inclusion of the Company’s stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per common share would have an anti-dilutive effect and is therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, diluted loss per common share is not disclosed.
15. | CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to pursue research and development of its software and meet its ongoing operating expenditures while at the same time providing adequate capital to fund the Company’s growth, without unwarranted dilution of the current shareholders.
The Company defines its capital as its loans and advances and the components of shareholders’ equity.
The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it for changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets since inception, the Company has financed its liquidity needs through private placements. |
In order to maximize ongoing research and development of its software, the Company does not pay out dividends. |
The Company expects its current capital resources will be sufficient to carry out its research and development of the software. |
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. |
16. | RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES |
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. There are no material variations between the financial position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), except as follows: |
Research and Development
Under U.S. GAAP, all costs incurred to establish technological feasibility of software are expensed as incurred. Costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility shall be capitalized until the software is available for release to general customers. Under Canadian GAAP, development costs that meet generally accepted criteria for deferral are capitalized and amortized. The Company has not met the criteria of establishing technological feasibility under both Canadian and U.S. GAAP and has not capitalized any development costs.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under U.S. GAAP, the measurement date for stock-based compensation to non-employees for goods or services rendered should be the earlier of the date on which the recipient completes performance or the date on which a performance commitment is reached. For measurement purposes Canadian GAAP specifies the two conditions under U.S. GAAP described above and also lists a third condition, namely, the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable at that date. As a result, in fiscal 2007, there is a $54,000 difference in the stock-based compensation recorded for the 300,000 common shares issued to consultants for their services rendered. In fiscal 2009, there is also a $19,000 difference in stock-based compensation recorded for the 200,000 common shares issued t o consultants for their services. The impact of these differences are as follows:

Diluted loss per share | $ 0.07 | $ 0.07 | $ 0.07 |
16. | RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES (continued) |
Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
In May 2008, the FASB issued guidance on “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This guidance identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances disclosure about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement which permits entities to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for which fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this statement.
In May 2009, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement establishing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events, which are events occurring after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, the pronouncement requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparation process. Entities may not recognize the impact of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. This pronouncement also requires entities to disclose the date through whic h subsequent events have been evaluated. The pronouncement was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the pronouncements, as required, and adoptions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
New Accounting Standards
Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 74, the Company is required to disclose certain information related to new US GAAP standards that have not yet been adopted due to delayed effective dates.
16. | RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES (continued) |
In December 2007 the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statements of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. This statement amends current US GAAP with regards to earnings per share; the calculation of the EPS amounts in consolidated statements will continue to be based on amounts attributable to the parent. This pr onouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007 the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This pronouncement establishes principles and requirements for the acquirer to 1) recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest; 2) recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase;

3) determine what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The effective date of this pronouncement is for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008 the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company is currently reviewing the provisions. However, as the provisions of this pronouncement are only related to disclosure of derivatives and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its operating results, financial positi on, or cash flows.
