NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Company and Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2007, the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 included in the Company’s amended Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on August 24, 2007.

Description of the Company

Workstream Inc. (“Workstream” or the “Company”), is a provider of services and software for Human Capital Management (“HCM”). HCM is the process by which companies recruit, train, evaluate, motivate and retain their employees. Workstream offers software and services that address the needs of companies to more effectively manage their human capital management function. Workstream has two distinct reporting units: Enterprise Workforce Services and Career Networks. The Enterprise Workforce Services segment offers a suite of HCM software solutions, which includes performance management, compensation management, development, recruitment, benefits administration and enrollment, succession planning, and employee awards and discounts programs. The Career Networks segment offers recruitment research, resume management and career transition services. In addition, Career Networks provides services through a web-site where job-seeking senior executives can search job databases and post their resumes, and companies and recruiters can post position openings and search for qualified senior executive candidates. Workstream conducts its business primarily in the United States and Canada.

Management Assessment of Liquidity

The Company has grown primarily through acquisition over the past five years and has incurred operating losses throughout the period. For fiscal year 2007, the Company had a net loss of approximately $13.8 million, including $6.5 million in depreciation and amortization, used approximately $6.4 million in cash in operations, and had a working capital deficit of $6.5 million. During fiscal 2007, management focused on integrating the various acquired technologies on to a common platform while simultaneously focusing on customer service levels to retain the current customer base. The result was a series of product releases during the year that enhanced the product offering which we believe increased our customer satisfaction scores.

The Company’s 2008 budget assumes that, among other things, a reduced level of investment in product and research and development spending, increases in sales and marketing spending and increased revenue from both operating segments. Management believes that these measures should enable the Company to generate additional cash flows from operations, but if these measures fall short, management will consider cost savings measures, including cutting back new product development initiatives and further reducing general and administrative expenses and reducing sales and marketing expenditures.

On August 3, 2007 the Company consummated a private placement of securities pursuant to which the Company raised $20,000,000 through the sale of Special Warrants convertible into 16,000,000 common shares at a conversion price of $1.25 per share and additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 150, we have allocated the net proceeds of $19,875,000 between common stock warrant liability and equity. As of October 8, 2007 the Company has a $1,000,000 receivable in connection with this equity financing.

On August 6, 2007, the Company paid all outstanding obligations due its principal lender in the amount of $6,664,801. This included $6,038,672 outstanding under the line of credit, the $550,000 still due under the guaranteed return/restructuring fee, an early termination fee of $50,000 and any remaining accrued interest and miscellaneous fees.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. We adopted FIN 48 during the first quarter of our fiscal year ending May 31, 2008. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands fair value measurement disclosures. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of Statement 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to record at fair value will be recognized in earnings. Statement 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. Statement 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts Statement 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of Statement 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The following presents the details of the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

	Three Months ended August 31, 2007			Year ended May 31, 2007

Balance at beginning of the period	$	711,087		$	625,361
Charged to bad debt expense		282,836			85,502
Write-offs and effect of exchange rate changes		(254,576	)		224
Balance at end of the period	$	739,347		$	711,087

The Company uses historical experience and knowledge of and experience with specific customers in order to assess the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any adjustments to this account are reflected in the statement of operations as a general and administrative expense.

Note 3. Acquired Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets consist of the following:

	August 31, 2007					May 31, 2007
	Cost			Accumulated Amortization		Cost			Accumulated Amortization

Customer base	$	8,132,722			7,654,235	$	8,132,722		$	7,348,604
Acquired technologies		22,191,121			21,327,690		22,191,121			20,740,286
Intellectual property		1,322,760			998,510		1,322,760			955,123
		31,646,603			29,980,435		31,646,603		$	29,044,013
Less accumulated amortization		(29,980,435	)				(29,044,013	)
Net acquired intangible assets		1,666,168				$	2,602,590

Amortization expense for acquired intangible assets was $936,422 and $1,436,398 for the three months ended August 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The estimated amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets in existence as of August 31, 2007 is as follows:

Remainder of Fiscal 2008:	$	1,216,194
Fiscal 2009:		428,474
Fiscal 2010:		21,500
	$	1,666,168

Note 4. Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Effective June 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board “(FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation is a two-step process. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold. The Company adopted FIN 48 on June 1, 2007 and has determined FIN 48 to not be significant in the consolidated financial statements. Our U.S. and Canadian federal income tax returns for the tax years 2003 and 2002 and beyond ,respectively, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Canadian Revenue Agency.

Note 5. Contingencies

On or about August 10, 2005, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, its former Chief Executive Officer and its former Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action, instituted on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s common shares during the period from January 14, 2005 to and including April 14, 2005 (the class period), alleges, among other things, that management provided the market misleading guidance as to anticipated revenues for the quarter ended February 28, 2005, and failed to correct this guidance on a timely basis. The action claims violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount as well as the award of reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel and expert fees and costs.

In December 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which added additional plaintiffs and sought to elaborate on the allegations contained in the complaint. The defendant’s counsel filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was denied. Defendants have answered the amended complaint, denying its material allegations. The Court has certified the case as a class action and has approved notice to the class. Discovery is continuing.

The Company and the individual defendants have filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, based upon a recent ruling of the United States Supreme Court. Plaintiffs have responded to that motion, which is presently scheduled for argument on September 28, 2007. The parties are also engaged in settlement discussions and have agreed to pursue mediation.

Should it become necessary, and based on discovery to date, the Company expects to file a motion for summary judgment at the close of discovery. In the event the case is not disposed of on motion, trial is expected to occur no earlier than Spring 2008.

Plaintiffs have yet to submit an expert report quantifying their damages. The Company has directors and officers liability insurance, which covers the liability of the individual defendants. The Company believes that the damages which plaintiffs will claim will exceed the face amount of the insurance coverage available. However, the present settlement discussions are within the Company’s insurance policy limits and the Company has reached an agreement with its primary insurance carrier limiting the Company’s exposure, in the event of a resolution within the Company’s insurance limits, to $600,000.

On September 27, 2006, Sunrise Equity Partners, L.P. (“Sunrise”) filed a complaint against the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging a violation of Section 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a claim under New York common law for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations in connection with Sunrise’s purchase of common shares and warrants in a private placement.

On April 11, 2007, Nathan A. Low (“Low”) and Sunrise Foundation Trust (“Trust”) filed a complaint against the Company and its former Chief Executive Officer in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging a violation of Section 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a claim under New York common law for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations in connection with Low’s and the Trust’s purchase of common shares and warrants in a private placement. The three plaintiffs invested an aggregate of $4 million in the Company in the PIPE transaction.

The defendants have answered the initial complaint and the parties are engaged in discovery. A non-jury trial is expected to be scheduled for late 2007 or early 2008.

The damages claimed by plaintiffs approximate, in the aggregate, $3.5 million, although Company counsel does not believe there is a credible damages claim in excess of $2.2 million. The Company has directors and officers liability insurance in a face amount in excess of the amount of the claimed damages. However, that insurance coverage is also subject to the claims for damages in connection with the litigation described in the preceding numbered paragraph of this item; those claims for damages are expected to exceed the face amount of the insurance coverage available.

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the resolution of such actions will materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plan

The Company has granted stock options to employees, directors and consultants under the 2002 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was most recently amended in October 2004. Under the Plan, as amended, the Shareholders have approved the Company to issue up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. In addition, the Plan reserves, an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of restricted share grants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of the options shall not be lower than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Options to purchase shares of common stock generally vest ratably over a period of three years and expire five years from the date of grant.

On June 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires it to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. Management elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and, therefore, the financial results for prior periods have not been restated. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense now includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not vested as of June 1, 2006, based upon the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or subsequent to June 1, 2006 was based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Compensation expense for stock option awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

The Company recognized $197,573 of stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock options in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2007.

Stock option activity and related information is summarized as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents total intrinsic value (of options in the money), which is the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2007 and the exercise price times the number of shares, that would have been received by the option holders had the option holders exercised their options on August 31, 2007.

As of August 31, 2007, approximately $1,657,016 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.7 years. Stock based compensation expense of $197,573 has been recorded for the three months ended August 31, 2007.

The Company grants restricted stock units to certain management and members of the Board of Directors. Each restricted stock unit represents one share of common stock and vests ratably over three years. The Company will then issue common stock for the vested restricted stock units. During the vesting period, the restricted stock units cannot be transferred, and the grantee has no voting or dividend rights. The cost of the awards, determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant, is expensed ratably over the vesting period. The compensation expense associated with the restricted stock units totaling $373,492 for three months ended August 31, 2007 is included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations and in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheet. During fiscal 2008, the Company granted a total of 415,000. At August 31, 2007, 818,331 restricted stock units were outstanding including 266,665 that were fully vested.

On December 3, 2006, the Company hired a President for the Enterprise Workforce segment of the business, now the President and CEO of the Company. In connection thereto, the new president received, as part of his compensation package, a grant of 1,000,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.85, the closing market price of the Company stock on that date, and 250,000 restricted stock units. The options are valued using the Black Scholes method and vest over a 3 year period. On August 28, 2007, the previously mentioned employment agreement was amended to include an additional 200,000 stock options at an exercise price of $1.05 per share, the closing market price of the Company stock on that date, and 200,000 restricted stock units convertible into Company common stock on a one-for-one basis. The stock option and RSU grants require approval by the Company's shareholders of an increase to the number of shares available pursuant to the Company's stock option plan. The stock options and restricted stock units will not vest until the Company's common stock trades at or above $3.00 per share on the NASDAQ exchange for 20 consecutive trading days.

The Company announced the resignation of Stephen Lerch as its Chief Financial Officer effective as of August 25, 2007. In connection with Mr. Lerch’s resignation, the Company and Mr. Lerch entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lerch six months of severance totaling $125,000 and $24,417 of accrued but unused vacation time. In addition, the Company agreed to pay for Mr. Lerch’s health and life insurance benefits for six months from the effective date of Mr. Lerch’s resignation. As part of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Lerch agreed to forfeit options to purchase 350,000 common shares of the Company. However, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Lerch 16,666 restricted stock units that had not yet vested as well as an additional 50,000 fully vested restricted stock units and to pay any income taxes owing by Mr. Lerch in connection with the issuance of the aggregate 100,000 fully vested restricted stock units issued to Mr. Lerch during 2007.

As of June 11, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Phil Oreste, 40 years old, pursuant to which Mr. Oreste agreed to become the Chief Financial Officer of the Company on August 25, 2007. The Company granted Mr. Oreste an option to purchase 200,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.17 per share, the closing price of the shares on June 8, 2007, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company's 2002 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan. Such options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted Mr. Oreste 50,000 Restricted Stock Units that vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Note 7. Investor Warrants

On August 3, 2007 the Company consummated a private placement of securities pursuant to which the Company raised $20,000,000 through the sale of two series of warrants. The first series of warrants (the “Special Warrants”) are convertible into 16,000,000 common shares at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. The Special Warrants have a five year life; however, after the fourth year the holder has the right to require the Company to purchase the unconverted portion at a price equal to fair value, which shall be determined by an independent party selected by the Company and approved by the holder. The second series of warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) are convertible into 4,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.40 per share over a five year life.

Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”), the Special Warrants have been accounted for as a liability due to their redeemable feature, while the Additional Warrants have been accounted for as additional paid-in capital. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company determined the fair value of the Special Warrants to be $13,349,368 as of August 3, 2007. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” the value of the Additional Warrants amounted to $6,525,632 which was calculated as the net proceeds received less the value of the Special Warrants.

In addition, SFAS 150 requires the Company to revalue the Special Warrants at each reporting period. As a result, the fair value of the Special Warrants was determined to be $11,855,112 as of August 31, 2007. The change in value of the Special Warrants of $1,494,256 between the two periods has been charged as interest income in the consolidated accompanying statements of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2007. Following is a summary of the above transactions, along with the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Special Warrants at August 3, 2007 and August 31, 2007:

		As of	As of

Note 8. Segmented and Geographic Information

The Company has two reportable segments: Enterprise Workforce Services and Career Networks. Enterprise Workforce Services consists of revenue generated from HCM software and related professional services. In addition, Enterprise Workforce Services generates revenue from the sale of various products through the rewards and discount modules of the HCM software. Career Networks primarily consists of revenue from career transition, applicant sourcing and recruitment research services.

The Company evaluates performance in each segment based on profit or loss from operations. There are no inter-segment sales. Corporate operating expenses are allocated to the segments primarily based on revenue.

The Company’s segments are distinct business units that offer different products and services. Each is managed separately and each has a different client base that requires a different approach to the sales and marketing process. In addition, Career Networks is an established business unit whereas Enterprise Workforce Services is a developing business unit.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the three-months ended August 31, 2007. All figures are in United States dollars, except as otherwise noted.

OVERVIEW

We are a provider of services and web-based software for Human Capital Management (“HCM”). HCM is the process by which companies recruit, train, evaluate, motivate, develop and retain their employees. We offer software and services that focus on talent management and address the needs of companies to more effectively manage their human capital management function. We believe that our integrated end-to-end talent management suite, which brings together our entire modular stand -alone applications on a common platform, is a more efficient and effective than traditional methods of human resource management.

We have two distinct operating segments, which are the Enterprise Workforce Services and Career Networks segments. The Enterprise Workforce Services segment primarily consists of HCM software, professional services and products sold as part of reward and discount programs. Specifically, our Enterprise Workforce Services segment offers a complete suite of HCM software solutions, which address performance, compensation, development, recruitment, benefits, and rewards. The Career Networks segment consists of career transition, applicant sourcing and recruitment research services.

Our business has changed significantly since fiscal 2002. From fiscal 2002 through fiscal 2006, we completed the acquisition of seventeen businesses. These acquisitions have enabled us to expand and enhance our available HCM software applications, increase our service offerings and correspondingly increase our revenue streams. Subsequent to the acquisitions, we have concentrated on integrating the acquired entities, expanding the reach of the existing business and identifying other potential acquisition targets. When we complete an acquisition, we combine the business of the acquired entity into the Company’s existing operations. We expect that this will significantly reduce the administrative expenses associated with the business prior to the acquisition. The acquired business is not maintained as a stand-alone business operation. Therefore, we do not separately account for the acquired business, including its profitability. Rather, it is included in one of our two business segments and is evaluated as part of the entire segment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our most critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, the assessment of goodwill impairment, the valuation of acquired intangible assets, the assessment of intangible asset impairment and the valuation of deferred tax assets and related allowances. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the value of assets and the reported revenues. Changes in assumptions used would impact our financial position and results.

The Company derives revenue from various sources including the following: subscription and hosting fees; licensing of software and related maintenance fees; professional services related to software implementation, customization and training; sale of products and tickets through the Company’s employee discount and rewards software module; career transition services; recruitment research services; and, applicant sourcing.

In general, the Company recognizes revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is typically when:

Evidence of an arrangement exists;

Services have been provided or goods have been delivered;

The price is fixed or determinable; and

Collection is reasonably assured.

The Company primarily provides various HCM software applications as an on-demand application service and also enters into the sale of license agreements. Revenue is generated through a variety of contractual arrangements.

Subscription and hosting fees and software maintenance fees are billed in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Quarterly and annual payments are deferred and recognized monthly over the service period on a straight-line basis. Set up fees are deferred and recognized monthly on a straight-line basis over the contractual lives, which approximates the expected lives of the customer relationships.

Subscription revenues and hosting fees consist of fees from customers accessing our on-demand application service. The Company follows the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the total customer arrangement to the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, as determined by the price of the undelivered items when sold separately. Professional services included in an application services arrangement with multiple deliverables are accounted for separately when these services have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and there is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of each deliverable of the arrangement. When accounted for separately, revenues are recognized as the services are rendered.

License revenues consist of fees earned from the granting of licenses to use the software products. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of software licenses in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP No. 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, with Respect to Certain Transactions, when all of the following conditions are met: a signed contract exists; the software has been shipped or electronically delivered; the license fee is fixed or determinable; and the Company believes that the collection of the fees is reasonably assured. License revenue is recorded upon delivery with an appropriate deferral for maintenance services, if applicable, provided all of the other relevant conditions have been met. The total fee from the arrangement is allocated based on Vendor Specific Objective Evidence ("VSOE") of fair value of each of the undelivered elements. Maintenance agreements are typically priced based on a percentage of the product license fee and are either multi-year or have a one-year term, renewable annually. VSOE of fair value for maintenance is established based on the stated renewal rates. Services provided to customers under maintenance agreements include technical product support and unspecified product upgrades. VSOE of fair value for the professional service element is based on the standard hourly rates the Company charges for services when such services are sold separately.

Professional services revenue is generated from implementation of software applications and from customer training, customization and general consulting. In addition, revenue is generated from technical support not included in the software maintenance. The majority of professional services revenue is billed based on an hourly rate and recognized on a monthly basis as services are provided. For certain contracts which involve significant implementation or other services which are essential to the functionality of the software and which are reasonably estimable, the license and implementation services revenue is recognized using contract accounting, as prescribed by SOP 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. Revenue is recognized over the period of each implementation using the percentage-of-completion method. Labor hours incurred is used as the measure of progress towards completion, and management believes its estimates to completion are reasonably dependable. A provision for estimated losses on engagements is made in the period in which the losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.

One of the software applications offered by the Company allows customers to offer rewards, employee recognition and benefits (discounted goods and tickets) in an effort to promote their employee retention. The Company generates subscription revenues from the customer. In addition, the Company generates revenue from the sale of products and tickets to the customers’ employees through a website. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is typically when the goods are shipped and title has transferred.

For career transition services, the Company bills the client 50% when the assignment starts and the remaining 50% when the assignment is completed. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is typically when services have been completed.

For applicant sourcing services, the Company bills its clients in advance on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is typically on a straight-line basis as services have been completed. Unrecognized revenue is included in deferred revenue.

For resume management services and recruitment services, the Company bills its clients for job postings and matching of resumes per descriptions that the client provides and for quantity-based job posting packages. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is typically when the services have been completed.

Goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances warrant. We assess goodwill related to reporting units for impairment and write down the carrying amount of goodwill as required. We have two distinct reporting units: Enterprise Workforce Services and Career Networks. Each reporting unit represents a distinct business unit that offers different products and services. Management monitors each unit separately. Enterprise Workforce Services, which includes revenue from software and related services, is still considered a developing business unit, whereas Career Networks is a more established business unit. We estimate the fair value of each business unit by preparing a discounted cash flow model, using a 15% discount rate. The model is prepared by projecting results for five years making different assumptions for each reporting unit. For the calculation done at the end of fiscal 2007, we estimated that individual reporting unit annual revenue growth rates would range from 6% to 27%, that gross profit would increase slightly, and that operating expenses would increase but would decrease as a percentage of revenues. We estimated the terminal rate as a multiple of revenue after the fifth year to be between 1.5 and 3.0. An impairment charge is recorded if the implied fair value of goodwill of a reporting unit is less than the book value of goodwill for that unit. Changes in the discount rate used, or in other assumptions in the model, would result in wide fluctuations in the value of goodwill that is supported. Any such changes may result in additional impairment write-downs.

We value acquired intangible assets, which includes acquired technologies, customer base and intellectual property, based on the estimated fair value of the assets at the time of the acquisition. The estimated fair value is primarily based on projected cash flows associated with the assets and the customer attrition rates. Different assumptions were used in estimating the intangible assets acquired in each business acquisition. If the future cash flows or the customer attrition rates differ significantly from our estimates, we may be required to record an impairment of intangible assets. Changes in circumstances impacting other assumptions used to value intangible assets could also lead to future impairments.

We apply significant judgment in recording deferred tax assets, which primarily are the result of loss carry forwards of companies that we acquired and loss carry forwards internally generated. In addition, we make certain assumptions about if and when these deferred tax assets will be utilized. These determinations require estimates of future profits to be forecasted. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated.

REVENUES

Consolidated revenues were $7,368,160 for first quarter 2008 compared to $6,927,096 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $441,065 or 6%.

Enterprise Workforce Solutions revenues for first quarter 2008 were $4,868,811 compared to $4,808,544 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $60,268 or 1%. The net increase is primarily due to a an increase in license software revenue offset by a reduction in recurring revenues from subscription and maintenance agreements, the result of terminations of certain maintenance contracts on older license agreements, and other cancellations in excess of revenue from new bookings.

Career Networks revenues for first quarter 2008 were $2,499,349 compared to $2,118,552 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $380,797 or 18%. The outplacement business was the primary reason for the increase due to a combination of stronger lead flow, higher conversion ratios and an increase in revenue per transaction with the enhanced service offering.

COST OF REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues for first quarter 2008 was $1,735,157 compared to $1,792,621 for first quarter 2007, a decrease of $57,464 or 3%. Gross profits were $5,633,003 for first quarter 2008 or 76% of revenues compared to $5,134,475 or 74% of revenues for first quarter 2007.

Enterprise Workforce Services cost of revenues accounted for $1,602,891 of the total cost of revenues for first quarter 2008 compared to $1,630,527 for first quarter 2007, a decrease of $27,636. Enterprise Workforce Services gross profit was $3,265,920 or 67% for first quarter 2008 compared to $3,178,017 or 66% for first quarter 2007.

Career Networks cost of revenues accounted for $132,266 of the total cost of revenues for first quarter 2008 and $162,094 for first quarter 2007, a decrease of $29,828 or 18%. Career Networks gross profit was $2,367,083 or 95% of revenues for first quarter 2008 compared to $1,956,458 or 92% of revenue for first quarter 2007. The increase in the gross margin is due to lower costs associated with generating leads for career transition sales as more leads are being generated internally.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSE

Selling and marketing expenses were $2,648,744 for first quarter 2008 compared to $1,847,424 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $801,320 or 43%. The increase is primarily due to employee and recruitment costs for additional sales personnel for the Enterprise Workforce Services segment. Within the Career Networks segment, higher levels of variable compensation and increased employee costs also contributed to the increased expenses as compared to the first quarter for fiscal 2007.

During the first quarter 2008, the company increased its on-demand software sales force resources including enterprise software sales and support personnel, a telesales sales organization and a more software industry experienced management team. The Enterprise Workforce Services business plans to increase marketing expenditures as well and as a result, sales and marketing expenses in this segment are expected to continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

General and administrative expenses were $5,108,127 for first quarter 2008 compared to $3,520,646 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $1,587,481 or 45%. Employee-related costs for the first quarter 2008 are higher due to the increased number of employees. Recruiting fees increased as compared to prior year due primarily to recruitment expenses associated with the hiring of new executives. Restricted stock unit expense is up $307,431 as compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2007 due to increased grants for new hires and an adjustment for June, 2007. Bad debt expense increased quarter over quarter due to increased write-offs in the first quarter 2008. The non-cash compensation expense associated with the adoption of FAS 123R for the year was $197,573.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

Research and development costs were $1,484,637 for first quarter 2008 compared to $1,038,215 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $446,421 or 43%. During the last two quarters of fiscal 2007, the Company made a significant investment in further development of its software suite. The spending on research and development continued during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as the Company prepares to launch a new product. A significant amount of this work for the first quarter of 2008 was performed by outside consultants. The spending on development is not expected to continue at the current rate and should reduce throughout the year.

AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION EXPENSE

Amortization and depreciation expense was $1,300,417 for first quarter 2008 compared to $1,643,924 for first quarter 2007, a decrease of $343,507 or 21%. The decrease reflects certain acquired intangible assets becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2007 resulting in reduced amortization expense in the first quarter 2008. Without additional business acquisitions, the amortization expense will continue to decrease during fiscal 2008.

INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER INCOME

Interest and other income was $1,528,567 for first quarter 2008 compared to $125,369 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $1,403,198 or 1,119%. In August 2007, we received $20 million in equity financing. As required by FASB Statement No. 150 we recorded a portion as a warrant liability and account for changes in fair value of the debt instrument as either interest income or expense. From the date of the financing until the end of the quarter on August 31, 2007 the fair value of the warrant liability declined which resulted in interest income of approximately $1,500,000. We expect that throughout the year interest income will increase as the Company maintains the majority of the proceeds of its recent equity financing in interest-bearing accounts with one financial institution. The operating account maintains a minimum of $1,000,000 in cash while the remainder of available cash is swept into a repurchase agreement that has an annual interest rate of approximately 4.7%.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE

Interest and other expense was $1,968,758 for first quarter 2008 compared to $52,213 for first quarter 2007, an increase of $1,916,545 or 3671%. Interest expense primarily includes interest on a term loan which was paid off as of August 2007 in connection with the recent equity financing, and capital leases. We anticipate interest expense to decline assuming we do not acquire any other debt instruments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At August 31, 2007, we maintained $10,789,424 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, was $7,980,100.

At August 31, 2007, $529,383 of short-term investments was restricted from use in order to collateralize a line of credit and various lease arrangements. As the line of credit balances change, the restricted cash balance guaranteeing them will change accordingly. In addition, the restricted cash guaranteeing the leases will periodically decrease according to the terms of the lease agreements.

For first quarter 2008, cash used in operations totaled $6,528,223, consisting primarily of the net loss for the year of $5,501,035 decrease in working capital of 1,697,273 offset by non-cash income of $1,494,255 and non-cash expenses of $2,164,340, including amortization and depreciation of $1,300,417, provision for bad debts of $289,206, and non-cash compensation of $571,065.

Net cash used by investing activities during first quarter 2008 was $188,107. Investing outflows consisted of $182,731 in capital expenditures reduced by changes in restricted cash and short-term investments totaling $5,376.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14,700,987 for first quarter 2008. Outflows consisted primarily of repayments on long-term obligations of $164,594 and repayment of term loan of $5,048,619. Inflows consisted of the net proceeds of the equity financing of $19,875,000.

We have had operating losses since our inception, and during first quarter 2008, we had an operating loss of $4,908,922 and cash used in operating activities of $6,528,223. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand at August 31, 2007 totaled $10,789,424.

In order to avoid immediate concerns about cash constraints, the Company considered various fund-raising alternatives, including both equity and debt options. Management determined that the equity transaction previously described was the best solution in the short-term. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including meeting our budget as outlined below, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new applications and enhancements to existing applications, and the continuing market acceptance of our applications. To the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash from operations, are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. We may enter into agreements or letters of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

The Company’s fiscal year 2008 budget assumes reduced levels of investment in product and research and a significant increase in the levels of sales and marketing spending, as well as increased revenue from both operating segments. If these measures fall short, management will consider additional cost savings measures, including reductions in new product development initiatives and further reducing general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

INTEREST RATE RISKS

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relates primarily to our short-term investment portfolio and our bank loans. During the year, we invest our surplus cash in short term instruments such as overnight repurchase agreements and bank commercial paper in a bank in the United States. These short-term, low-risk instruments could be withdrawn without penalty at any time. The interest income from these investments is subject to interest rate fluctuations, which we believe will not have a material impact on our financial position.

Prior to the repayment of the Senior Line of Credit in August of 2007, we held variable rate debt that fluctuated with the prime rate as part of our principal debt facility. In connection with the amount outstanding at May 31, 2007, a one-percent increase in interest rates would have had approximately a $60,000 adverse impact on the annual results of operations. Additionally, we have two letters of credit issued in May 2002 as collateral on leased facilities in the amounts of $47,784 and CDN $400,000. We pay an annual fee of 1.2% on these letters of credit.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We have monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar will impact our reported net asset position and net income or loss. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates would result in a change in our reported net asset position of approximately $119,821 and a change in the reported net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2007 of approximately $114,018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of August 31, 2007, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There were no changes during the quarter ended August 31, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The defendants have answered the initial complaint and the parties are engaged in discovery. A non-jury trial is expected to be scheduled for late 2007 or early 2008.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2007 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the following factors, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, business or the market for our common shares.

Our common shares are currently trading at prices below $1.00 and could be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.

Our common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Boston Stock Exchange. Under the Nasdaq’s requirements, a stock can be delisted and not allowed to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market if the closing bid price of the stock over a 30 consecutive trading-day period is less than $1.00. The Boston Stock Exchange does not maintain a similar minimum price requirement. Since October 2, 2007, the closing bid price for our common stock has been below $1.00. No assurance can be given that the closing bid price of our common shares will satisfy the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements and thus continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although our common shares may remain listed on the Boston Stock Exchange, if our common shares are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, there may be a limited market for our shares, trading our stock may become more difficult and our share price could decrease even further. If our common shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Capital Market, potential investors may be prohibited from or be less likely to purchase our common shares, limiting the trading market for our stock even further.

The exercise of warrants issued in connection with the October 2006 Hilco loan agreement could cause the market price of our common shares to decline and result in dilution.

In connection with the October 2006 loan agreement, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 2,750,000 shares of its common shares at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which it agreed to register the common shares underlying the warrants. If the lender exercises the warrants and sells the underlying common shares, the market price of our common shares could decline and the stock holdings of existing shareholders would be diluted.
