Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Shareholders of
Convergix Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Convergix Inc. as at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations and shareholder’s deficiency 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations in 2001 and 2000 and at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 has a severe working capital deficiency. These factors among others, as discussed in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated financial statements do not indicate any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
(in US dollars)
1. Ability to continue operations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As indicated in the consolidated financial statements, the company has incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations over the past 2 years and has not been able to meet its obligations as they come due. At December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the company has a severe working capital deficiency and net shareholders’ deficiency. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company might not be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amount of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependant upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing.
Management’s Plans
As indicated in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a severe working capital deficiency, and a net shareholders’ deficiency. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to developing its products, obtaining financing, assessing market demand, and obtaining customers. The success of the Company’s operations and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependant on achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company has undergone an informal financial restructuring and has reached agreements with the majority of unsecured trade creditors. Management continues to focus on seeking new customers and seeking new sources of financing.

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the following significant accounting policies:
a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cynaptec Information Systems Inc. and InteliSys Aviation Systems Inc.
b) Capital assets and depreciation
Capital assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:
Office furniture and equipment | | 20 | % |
Computer equipment and software | | 30 | % |
Library | | 50 | % |
Leasehold improvements | | 7 | % |
9
c) Software development costs
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Under the standard, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short; therefore, software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs and has charged all such costs to research and development expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, net of any investment tax credits, grants and recoveries.
d) Income taxes
Income taxes are provided for current taxes payable or refundable, and temporary differences arising from the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. The effect of income taxes is measured based on currently enacted tax laws and rate. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of such assets will not be realized.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
The company considers cash on hand and balances with banks, net of overdrafts, and investments in highly liquid temporary money market instruments with originals maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
f) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g) Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for software sales in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. SOP 97-2 generally requires revenues earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the element.
Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. The Company maintains certain provisions for product returns and rebates in accordance with SFAS No. 48 “Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists”. The Company from time to time will consider arrangements regarding certain customers with payment terms extending beyond customary payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred and recognized when payments become due from the customer providing that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Software subscription, support, consulting service, and training program revenue included in multiple-element arrangements is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the software subscription and support agreement. The fair value of the undelivered elements (software subscription, specified upgrades, support, consulting services and training) is generally determined based on the price charged for the undelivered element when sold separately.
10
h) Reporting currency and foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar since it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated into United States dollars using the weighted-average exchange rate, during the year.
i) Financial instruments
The Company’s primary financial instruments consist of receivables, current liabilities, convertible debt and long-term debt. The difference between the carrying values and the fair market values of the primary financial instruments are not material due to the short-term maturities and/or the credit terms of those instruments.
The fair value of shareholder advances cannot be determined as they do not include any terms of payment (Note 7).
j) Government assistance
Government assistance relating to the purchase of capital assets and other assets is recorded as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to current expenses is netted against the related expense.

CONVERGix Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
(in US dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. Ability to continue operations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As indicated in the consolidated financial statements, the company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations over the past 2 years and has not been able to meet its obligations as they come due. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company has a severe working capital deficiency and a net shareholders’ deficiency. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company might not be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amount of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependant upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing.
Management’s plans
As indicated in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a severe working capital deficiency, and a net shareholders’ deficiency. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to developing its products, obtaining financing, assessing market demand, and obtaining customers. The success of the Company’s operations and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependant on achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.
The Company has undergone an informal financial restructuring and has reached agreements with the majority of unsecured trade creditors. Management continues to focus on seeking new customers and seeking new sources of financing.
Financial Statements
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the following significant accounting policies:
a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cynaptec Information Systems Inc. and InteliSys Aviation Systems Inc.
b) Capital assets and depreciation
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:
24
Office furniture and equipment | | 20 | % |
Computer equipment and software | | 30 | % |
Library | | 50 | % |
Leasehold improvements | | 7 | % |
c) Software development costs
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. Under the standard, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, subject to net realizable value considerations. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short; therefore, software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs and has charged all such costs to research and development expense. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, net of any investment tax credits, grants and recoveries.
d) Income taxes
Income taxes are provided for current taxes payable or refundable, and temporary differences arising from the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. The effect of income taxes is measured based on currently enacted tax laws and rate. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of such assets will not be realized.
e) Cash and cash equivalents
The company considers cash on hand and balances with banks, net of overdrafts, and investments in highly liquid temporary money market investment instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
f) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g) Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for software sales in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended. SOP 97-2 generally requires revenues earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of the element.
Revenue from license fees is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is
25
probable. The Company maintains certain provisions for product returns and rebates in accordance with SFAS No. 48 “Revenue Recognition when Right of Return Exists”. The Company from time to time will consider arrangements regarding certain customers with payment terms extending beyond customary payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred and recognized when payments become due from the customer providing that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Software subscription, support, consulting service, and training program revenue included in multiple-element arrangements is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the software subscription and support agreement. The fair value of the undelivered elements (software subscription, specified upgrades, support, consulting services and training) is generally determined based on the price charged for the undelivered element when sold separately.
h) Reporting currency and foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar since it is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated into United States dollars using the weighted-average exchange rate prevailing during the period.
i) Financial instruments
The Company’s primary financial instruments consist of receivables, current liabilities, convertible debt and long-term debt. The difference between the carrying values and the fair market values of the primary financial instruments are not material due to the short-term maturities and/or the credit terms of those instruments.
The fair value of shareholder advances cannot be determined as they do not include any terms of payment (Note 7).
j) Government assistance
Government assistance relating to the purchase of capital assets and other assets is recorded as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to current expenses is netted against the related expense.
