VALIDIAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

Validian Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 12, 1989 as CCC Funding Corp. The Company underwent several name changes before being renamed to Validian Corporation on January 28, 2003.

Since August 3, 1999, the efforts of the Company have been devoted primarily to the development of a high speed, highly secure method of exchanging data files using the internet, and to the sale and marketing of the Company’s products. Prior to August 3, 1999, the Company conducted business in an unrelated field. As the Company commenced development activities on this date, it is considered for financial accounting purposes to be a development stage enterprise and August 3, 1999 is the commencement of the development stage.

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Validian Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While management has based its assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances currently known, final amounts may differ from such estimates.

The interim financial statements contained herein are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Moreover, these financial statements do not purport to contain complete disclosure in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no revenues, has negative working capital of $6,315,891 and stockholders’ deficiency of $6,306,534 as at June 30, 2008, and has incurred a loss of $2,801,543 and negative cash flow from operations of $525,400 for the six months then ended. The Company also expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and has no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place. Furthermore, the Company failed to settle $750,000 in principal of, and $136,096 in accrued interest on, those of the 10% senior convertible notes which matured on June 1, 2008, which resulted in all of the 10% senior convertible notes becoming immediately due and payable in accordance with the default provisions of the notes; the Company has not yet negotiated settlement on these unpaid balances.

The Company expects to incur operating expenditures of approximately $1.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2008, subject to the availability of adequate funding. In the event the Company cannot raise the additional funds necessary to finance its research and development and sales and marketing activities, it may have to cease operations.

All of the factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan to address these issues includes raising capital through the private placement of equity, the exercise of previously-issued equity instruments and through the issuance of additional promissory notes. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement these plans. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s position and or results of operations and could also result in the Company ceasing operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be required if the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal course of operations.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

Even if successful in obtaining financing in the near term, the Company cannot be certain that cash generated from its future operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity requirements in the longer term, and it may need to continue to raise capital by issuing additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the market acceptance of its products and the level of its promotional activities and advertising required to generate product sales. No assurance can be given that any such additional funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.

2. Recently adopted accounting standards

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued staff position No. 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 one year for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. At June 30, 2008, the Company did not have such assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about current market conditions. The prescribed fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued $468,244 in principal amount of its promissory notes, and repaid $41,000 of the notes. Holders of $133,000 of the notes issued during the period were granted 766,667 common shares of the Company at the date of issuance. $23,128, representing the relative fair value of the common shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid in capital, and is being accreted through periodic charges to interest and financing expense over the term of the notes, using the interest rate method.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of $172,850 of its 10% senior convertible notes. $125,000 of the notes were issued for cash; $47,850 of the notes were issued as consideration for the repayment of $47,850 in accounts payable. Under the terms of the notes, the holders are permitted, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal plus accrued interest into common stock of the company, at the rate of one common share for each $0.03 of debt converted. The Company has the option of pre-paying all or any portion of the balance outstanding on the notes at any time, without penalty or bonus, with the permission of the holders. Interest on the notes is accrued until the notes are either repaid by the Company or converted by the holder; holders of $75,000 of the notes are also entitled to payment of interest at such time as the holder requests payment in writing. At the Company’s opti on, interest may be paid either in cash or in common shares of the Company. If interest is paid in common shares, the number of shares required for settlement will be one share for each $0.03 of interest settled.

Holders of the notes were granted 943,550 common shares of the Company upon issuance of the notes; $53,925, representing the relative fair value of the common shares at the issuance date, was allocated to the common shares par value and additional paid in capital.

4. 10% Senior convertible notes (continued)

At the date of issuance, the conversion feature of the notes was in-the-money; $88,991, representing the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Also during the six months ended June 30, 2008, holders of the Company’s 10% senior convertible notes exercised the conversion option and converted $182,272 in principal and $20,629 in accrued interest, in exchange for 2,765,081 shares of common stock.

The Company failed to settle $750,000 in principal of, and $136,096 in accrued interest on, those of the 10% senior convertible notes which matured on June 1, 2008, which resulted in all of the 10% senior convertible notes becoming immediately due and payable in accordance with the default provisions of the notes. This change in maturity date resulted in the immediate accretion of notes to their face value. The Company will continue to accrue interest on these unpaid balances at the coupon rate of 10%, until a settlement is reached.

The following table summarizes information regarding the 10% senior convertible notes outstanding at June 30, 2008:

Note	Conversion
Principal	Rate
$ 912,942	$0.03
1,910,000	0.06
550,000	0.10
$ 3,372,942

At June 30, 2008, $1,325,000 of the 10% senior convertible notes was secured by a first position lien on all of the assets of the Company. The remaining $2,047,942 was unsecured.

The granting of options, and the terms associated with them, occurs at the discretion of the board of directors, who administers the plan. As of June 30, 2008, there were a total of 8,300,000 options granted under these plans, all with an exercise price of $0.04. 3,875,000 of the options expire on June 19, 2012; 4,425,000 expire on dates between May 12, 2013 and June 2, 2013. 7,400,000 of the options are fully vested; 900,000 vest on various dates between December 1, 2008 and December 1, 2009. 1,700,000 options remained available for grant under these plans as of June 30, 2008.

8. Loss per share

For the purposes of the loss per share computation, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been used. Had the treasury stock method been applied to the unexercised stock options and warrants, the effect on the loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

The following securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but have not been included in diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that we make in this report. For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to many things, some of which are:

trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations for our limited history;

our business and growth strategies;

our technology;

the Internet; and

our financing plans.

We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties. In fact, actual results most likely will differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Some factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include:

our limited operating history;

our lack of sales to date;

our requirements for additional capital and operational funding;

the failure of our technology and products to perform as specified;

the discontinuance of growth in the use of the Internet;

the enactment of new adverse government regulations; and

the development of better technology and products by others.

You should carefully consider and evaluate all of these factors. In addition, we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements after we file this report with the SEC, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. 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 related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the financial statements are described in note 2 to our 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumption s. The following critical accounting policies are impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in preparation of our June 30, 2008 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Research and development expenses:

We expense all of our research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred. At such time as our product is determined to be commercially available, we will capitalize those development expenditures that are related to the maintenance of the commercial products, and amortize these capitalized expenditures over the estimated life of the commercial product. The estimated life of the commercial product will be based on management’s estimates, including estimates of current and future industry conditions. A significant change to these assumptions could impact the estimated useful life of our commercial product resulting in a change to amortization expense and impairment charges.

Stock based compensation:

The Company accounts for its stock-based payments in accordance with SFAS 123R, which requires all share-based payments, including stock options granted by the Company to its employees, to be recognized as expenses, based on the fair value of the share-based payments at the date of grant. For purposes of estimating the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation, the Company uses the Black Scholes option-pricing model, and has elected to treat awards with graded vesting as a single award. The fair value of awards granted is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which in the Company’s circumstances is the stated vesting period of the award.

Recently adopted accounting standards:

SFAS No. 157

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value as required by other accounting pronouncements and expands fair value measurement disclosures. The provisions of SFAS 157 are applied prospectively upon adoption and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. The disclosures required by SFAS 157 are included in Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenue: We had no revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2008, nor during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Since August 1999 we have directed all of our attention towards the completion, and sales and marketing of our software applications. We believe that if we are successful in our development and sales and marketing efforts, we will generate a source of revenue in the future from sales and/or licensing of our software applications.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional fees, insurance, communication expenses, occupancy costs and other miscellaneous costs associated with supporting our research and development, sales and marketing and investor relations activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a total of $397,125, including $275,198 in cash-based expenses and $121,927 in stock-based expenses, as compared to $502,101, of which $313,504 was cash-based and $188,597 was stock-based expense, during the three months ended June 30, 2007. There was an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $104,976 (21%), comprised of a $38,306 (12%) decrease in the cash-based component of this expense and a $66,670 (35%) decrease in the stock-based component.

We have made efforts to reduce these costs, through measures such as reducing the number of personnel, reducing travel costs, decreasing the size of our leased premises, reducing the number of trade shows in which we participate, and delaying production of new promotional material. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of 8% in the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar in relation to the United Sates dollar for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Many of our selling, general and administrative expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars and reported in United States dollars; consequently this fluctuation has resulted in an overall increase in reported expenses. We will continue to carefully monitor the costs of these departments as we work within current budgetary limits leading up to the full commercial release of our products.

The stock-based component of selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2008 on the issuance of common stock as partial consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered; the fair value of vested options granted to employees and consultants during the three months ended June 30, 2008; and the fair value of unvested options earned during the period. The stock-based component of this expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003; amortization of prepaid consulting fees recorded during the first quarter of 2007 on the issuance of common stock in consideration for services rendered during 2007; amortization of prepaid consulting fees recorded during the second quarter of 2007 on the issuance of options and warrants in consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered; the incremental value of stock options issued during the second quarter of 2007 in exchange for the repurchase and cancellation of options issued in prior years; and the fair value of employee stock options earned during the period.

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and consulting expenses directly associated with the development of our software applications. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a total of $8,352, including $5,309 in cash-based expenses and $3,043 in stock-based expenses, developing our software applications, which was a decrease of $339,410 (98%) from the $347,762, of which $328,304 was cash based and $19,458 was stock based, incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease of $322,995 (98%) in the cash-based component of research and development expenses is due primarily to the temporary suspension, effective April 1, 2008, of the work which had been performed on our research and development activities by the Europe-based contract development group. The suspension took place while we receive and compile feedback from test installa tions of a newly-completed beta version of one of our software applications. We anticipate the recommencement of development activities during the second half of August 2008, with a focus on responding to comments received during the beta trials, coincidentally with upgrades required to allow the use of this product with a more recent version of the application platform. We have taken this approach in order to concentrate our development efforts on this application, which will enable us to have a market-ready product in the shortest possible time-frame, within the constraints of our limited available funding. We also eliminated one full-time position based in Canada from this department in December 2007.

Stock-based research and development expense decreased by $16,415 (84%) during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The stock-based component of research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the fair value of vested options granted to consultants during the period, and the fair value of unvested options earned during the period. Stock-based research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the incremental value of options issued to a consultant in exchange for the repurchase and cancellation of options previously issued.

Interest and financing costs: Interest and financing costs during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes payable and interest on the capital lease. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred $1,282,441 in interest and financing costs, an increase of $1,041,115 (431%) over the $241,326 in interest and financing costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

The $1,282,441 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008 is comprised of $87,451 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $1,155,531 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes and our promissory notes; and $39,459 of amortization of deferred financing costs. The $241,326 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007 is comprised of $70,993 of interest payable to the holders of our debt; $137,288 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes; $32,734 of amortization of deferred financing costs; and $311 in interest on the capital lease.

Several factors contributed to the increase in interest and financing costs. There was a net increase of $362,942 in the principal balance of our 10% senior convertible notes during the period from June 2007 to June 2008, and a net increase of $472,529 in the principal outstanding on our promissory notes during the same period. This net increase in principal outstanding on our debt instruments resulted in a higher balance on which coupon based interest was charged. There was also an increase in value of the equity–based components of our 10% senior convertible notes, relating to new notes issued, which resulted in higher accretion charges; additional financing costs relating to these new notes resulted in an increase in amortization of deferred finance costs, which was offset by certain financing costs from prior periods becoming fully amortized during the three months ended June 30, 2008. As well, in accordance with the terms of the 10% senior convertible notes, all of these notes became due and payable when we failed to settle certain of the notes and accrued interest thereon when they matured in June 2008. This resulted in the immediate accretion of the notes to their face value, and the full amortization of deferred finance costs relating to these notes.

Net loss: We incurred a loss of $1,702,322 ($0.03 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $1,141,638 ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:

raise additional capital to fund operations;

license software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-existing users; and

��

successfully develop related software applications.

The Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenue: We had no revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2008, nor during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Since August 1999 we have directed all of our attention towards the completion, and sales and marketing of our software applications. We believe that if we are successful in our development and sales and marketing efforts, we will generate a source of revenue in the future from sales and/or licensing of our software applications.

Selling, general and administrative expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, professional fees, insurance, communication expenses, occupancy costs and other miscellaneous costs associated with supporting our research and development, sales and marketing and investor relations activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a total of $865,896, including $500,069 in cash-based expenses and $365,827 in stock-based expenses, as compared to $930,233, of which $618,716 was cash-based and $311,517 was stock-based expense, during the six months ended June 30, 2007. There was an overall decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $64,337 (7%), comprised of a $118,647 (19%) decrease in the cash-based component of this expense, which was partially offset by a $54,310 (17%) increase in the stock-based component.

We have made efforts to reduce these costs, through measures such as reducing the number of personnel, reducing travel, decreasing the size of our leased premises, reducing the number of trade shows in which we participate, and delaying production of new promotional material. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of 11% in the average exchange rate for the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Many of our selling, general and administrative expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars and reported in United States dollars; consequently this fluctuation has resulted in an overall increase in reported expenses. We will continue to carefully monitor the costs of these departments as we work within current budgetary limits leading up to the full commercial release of our products.

The stock-based component of selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recorded during the period on the issuance of common stock as partial consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered, and the fair value of options earned by employees and consultants during the period. The stock-based component of this expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the amortization of prepaid consulting fees recognized on the issuance of warrants during 2003; amortization of prepaid consulting fees on the issuance of common stock, options and warrants in consideration for consulting services rendered and to be rendered; the incremental value of stock options issued during the second quarter of 2007 in exchange for the repurchase and cancellation of options issued in prior years; the fair value of common stock issued as compensation for services r endered during the period; and the fair value of employee stock options earned during the period.

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and consulting expenses directly associated with the development of our software applications. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a total of $226,590, including $223,547 in cash-based expenses and $3,043 in stock-based expenses, developing our software applications, which was a decrease of $364,396 (62%) from the $590,986, of which $571,528 was cash based and $19,458 was stock based, incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease of $347,981 (61%) in the cash-based component of research and development expenses is due primarily to the temporary suspension, effective April 1, 2008, of the work which had been performed on our research and development activities by the Europe-based contract development group. The suspension took place while we receive and compile feedback from test installa tions of a newly-completed beta version of one of our software applications.

We also eliminated one full-time position based in Canada, from this department in December 2007.

Stock-based research and development expense decreased by $16,415 (84%) during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The stock-based component of research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of the fair value of options granted to consultants which were earned during the period. Stock-based research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of the incremental value of options issued to a consultant in exchange for the repurchase and cancellation of options previously issued.

Interest and financing costs: Interest and financing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of costs associated with our 10% senior convertible notes, our promissory notes payable and interest on the capital lease. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred $1,738,348 in interest and financing costs, an increase of $1,311,771 (308%) over the $426,577 in interest and financing costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The $1,738,348 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 is comprised of $179,763 of interest paid and payable to the holders of our debt; $1,478,379 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes and our promissory notes; $80,103 of amortization of deferred financing costs; and $103 in interest on the capital lease. The $426,577 in interest and financing costs we incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007 is comprised of $132,320 of interest payable to the holders of our debt; $233,570 of accretion of our 10% senior convertible notes; $60,003 of amortization of deferred financing costs; and $684 in interest on the capital lease.

Net loss: We incurred a loss of $2,801,543 ($0.05 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $2,118,565 ($0.05 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:

raise additional capital to fund operations;

license our software applications to a sufficient number of clients;

be cash-flow positive on an ongoing basis;

modify the successful software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-existing users; and

successfully develop related software applications.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General: Since inception, we have funded our operations from private placements of debt and equity securities. In addition, until September 1999 we derived revenues from consulting contracts with affiliated parties, the proceeds of which were used to fund operations. Until such time as we are able to generate adequate revenues from the licensing of our software applications, we cannot assure that we will be successful in raising additional capital, or that cash from the issuance of debt securities, the exercise of existing warrants and options, and the placements of additional equity securities, if any, will be sufficient to fund our long-term research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $8,653 during the six months ended June 30, 2008, from a balance of $5,120 at December 31, 2007, to $13,773 at June 30, 2008. Our net loss of $2,801,543 during the period, and resulting cash used in operations of $525,400, were partially offset by an increase in cash resulting from the issuance of $125,000 of 10% senior convertible notes, and $468,244 from the issuance of promissory notes. Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $42,005 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in cash resulting from the issuance of $625,000 of 10% senior convertible notes, and $70,413 of promissory notes, which was partially offset by our net loss of $2,118,565, and resulting cash used in operations of $644,936.

We added an explanatory paragraph to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. It states that our economic viability is dependent on our ability to finalize the development of our principal products, generate sales and finance operational expenses, and that these factors, together with our lack of revenues to date; our negative working capital; our loss for the year, as well as negative cash flow from operating activities in the same period; and our accumulated deficit, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2008, we had negative working capital of $6,315,891 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of

$31,171,118; for the six months then ended we had a net loss of $2,801,543, and negative cash flow from operations of $525,400. Additionally, we did not settled $750,000 in principal of, and $136,096 in accrued interest on, those of our 10% senior convertible notes which matured on June 1, 2008, which resulted in all of the 10% senior convertible notes and accrued interest thereon becoming due and payable as of that date. Note 1 to our unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008 also discusses the substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We achieved our first commercial sale during the third quarter of 2005, howeverwe were unable to recognize revenue in connection with this sale, as all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies were not met. During April 2006 we determined that collection of the amount invoiced in connection with this sale was unlikely, and recorded an allowance against the entire amount, as an offset against deferred revenue. On January 1, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a Value Added Reseller (“VAR”), pursuant to which we granted the VAR a license to sell our software to the VAR’s customers for a period of three years. Our fee for this license, excluding applicable sales taxes, was $155,000, of which $151,650 has been collected. We will recognize revenue in connection with this sale once all of the criteria required for us to do so as set out in our accounting policies, have been met. We did not make any sales during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

We anticipate sales during the fourth quarter of 2008, however we cannot be assured that this will be the case. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 one of our full-time employees left the Company, and we retained the services of five part-time consultants. In July 2008, an officer and director of the Company resigned, and has agreed to provide periodic services on a limited basis until such time as we retain another individual to fill these positions. During the next 6 months we expect to engage one officer and director; we do not expect to hire additional personnel unless we are successful in raising significant funds through the issuance of our debt or equity securities. In August, 2008 we acquired office equipment under capital lease to replace a previous lease arrangement which expired during the six months ended June 2008; we do not expect to make any additional material commitments for capital equipment expenditures during the next 12 months.

We have an immediate requirement for additional working capital in order to proceed with our business plan. We review our cash needs and sources on a month-to-month basis and we are currently pursuing appropriate opportunities to raise additional capital to fund operations. Additional sources of capital could involve issuing equity or debt. In January 2008, we engaged consultants to provide advice to us with respect to the raising of capital. However, additional funding may not be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all. The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares of our common stock could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated issuance of stock could cause some institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may itself cause the price of our stock to decline. We may be unable to raise additional capital if our stock price is too low. A sustained inability to raise capital could force us to limit or curtail our operations.

We expect the level of our future operating expenses to be driven by the needs of our research and development and marketing programs, offset by the availability of funds. In addition, we have since inception made an effort to keep our expenses relatively low and conserve available cash until we begin generating sufficient operating cash flow.

Sources of Capital: Our principal sources of capital for funding our business activities have been the private placements of debt and equity securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we issued $468,244 of promissory notes and $125,000 of 10% senior convertible notes, which generated cash to fund operations. During this period we also issued 887,874 common shares in settlement of accrued interest on our 10% senior convertible notes, which will reduce the amount of cash required to settle the note at maturity; and we issued 2,765,081 common shares on the conversion of $182,272 in principal of and $20,629 in accrued interest on our 10% senior convertible notes, which will reduce future cash-based interest charges, and also will reduce the amount of cash which would have become payable on maturity of the notes. In addition, we issued 200,000 common shares as partial consideration for consulting services rendered, and 3,000,000 commo n shares as a signing bonus on a consulting contract entered into during the period, both of which reduced our requirement for cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we also issued an aggregate of 4,425,000 options to employees and consultants, as partial consideration for services rendered and to be rendered, which reduced the cash remuneration which would otherwise have been required to retain the services of these personnel, in the current as well as future periods.

During the period from July 1, 2008 to August 14, 2008, we issued an aggregate of $48,648 of promissory notes, the proceeds of which were used to fund operations. Also during the period from July 1, 2008 to August 14, 2008, we issued an aggregate of $578,441 of our 10% senior convertible notes in consideration for the cancellation of $578,441 in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, promissory notes and accrued interest on the promissory notes, which will defer the cash payment required to settle these obligations.

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements which would have provided the Company with a source of capital.

Uses of Capital: Over the past several years, we have scaled our development activities to the level of available cash resources. Cash-based research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by approximately 61% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, as a result of cash conservation efforts, as explained more fully under “Results of Operations.” Cash-based selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by approximately 19% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, also due to cash conservation efforts.

Our plans with respect to future staffing will be dependant upon our ability to raise additional capital. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements which would have resulted in our use of capital.

The cost to implement appropriate controls and procedures to ensure compliance with Section 404 of the Act is included in our budget for 2008.

ITEMS 4 AND 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to these rules. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this report. Based on that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our controls and procedures were not effective enough as of the end of the period covered by this Report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to al low timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management of Validian Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not supported by written policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements, management undertook an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. Management’s assessment, based on criteria established in our internal control procedures policies, included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting but did not include testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls because our evaluation concluded that our system of inte rnal controls was not effective in preventing or detecting misstatements.

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of June 30, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective enough to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, which reviewed our interim consolidated condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, has not audited or reviewed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our independent registered public accounting firm advised the Board of Directors and management of certain significant internal control deficiencies that they considered to be, in the aggregate, a material weakness. In particular, our independent registered public accounting firm identified the following weaknesses in our internal control system: (1) a lack of segregation of duties; and (2) the lack of timely preparation of certain back up schedules. The independent registered public accounting firm indicated that they considered these deficiencies to be reportable conditions as that term is defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a significant deficiency in one or more of the internal control components that alone or in the aggregate precludes our internal controls from reducing to an appropriately low level of risk that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We considered these matters in connection with the period-end closing of accounts and preparation of the related consolidated financial statements and determined that no prior period financial statements were materially affected by such matters. Notwithstanding the material weakness identified by our independent registered public accountants, we believe that the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operation and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods represented in this report.

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources at this time to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing within the Company.

We were unable to eliminate the identified weaknesses with respect to the period covered by this report. Set forth below is a discussion of the significant internal control deficiencies which have not been remediated.

Lack of segregation of duties. Since commencing the development phase of our operations in August 1999, our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our internal control system. During the period from January 2007 to February 2008, we had only three people involved with the processing of accounting entries: the Office Administrator, the Controller and the Chief Financial Officer. It was therefore difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. During this period, we made attempts to segregate duties as much as practicable, however there was insufficient volume of transactions to justify additional full time staff. The office administrator and the Chief Financial Officer have resigned, effective February 15, 2008 and July 10, 2008, respectively. While our Chief Executive Officer has assumed the roll of the Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis, we nonetheless are inadequately staffed at this time to ensure a sufficient level of segregation of duties. As a result, this significant internal control deficiency had not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this report, nor do we know if we will be able to remediate this weakness in the foreseeable future. However, we will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

Lack of timely preparation of back up schedules. Throughout 2007, we were able to complete most of our back up schedules prior to the arrival of our independent registered public accountants’ audit staff. However, the audit of our annual report on form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the review of our quarterly reports for the

quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 were delayed, partially as a result of our lack of timely preparation of back up schedules. Effective during the latter part of the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we commenced the process of reviewing and expanding our formal month-end procedures, with the objective of improving the timeliness of the preparation of future quarterly reports and related back up schedules.

If we are unable to remediate the identified material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For information regarding legal proceedings, refer to “Part 1, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 1a. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. to Part 1” of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were no material changes to these risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 23, 2008, the Company issued 666,667 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor pursuant to the terms of $100,000 in promissory notes which were issued to the investor on the same date.

On May 27, 2008, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor pursuant to the terms of $50,000 in 10% senior convertible notes which were issued to the investor on the same date.

Also on May 27, 2008, the Company issued 1,706,301 shares of its common stock to accredited investors on the conversion of $150,000 in principal of, and $20,629 in accrued interest on, the 10% senior convertible notes which were issued to the investor on December 21, 2006.

On May 28, 2008, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor pursuant to the terms of $25,000 in 10% senior convertible notes which were issued to the investor on the same date.

On August 11, 2008, the Company issued 45,000 shares of its common stock to an accredited investor pursuant to the terms of $15,000 in 10% senior convertible notes which were issued to the investor on the same date.

On August 14, 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,615,322 shares of its common stock to accredited investors pursuant to the terms of an aggregate of $538,441 in 10% senior convertible notes which were issued to the investors on the same date.

The foregoing securities were issued in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

On June 1, 2008, $750,000 of our 10% senior convertible notes matured, and accrued interest of $136,096 also became payable. We did not repay the principal and accrued interest on these notes at maturity, nor did the holders exercise their right to convert the balance due into common stock of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the notes, this failure to settle the matured notes resulted in all of the 10% senior convertible notes and accrued interest thereon becoming due and payable as of the date of default. Notwithstanding our obligation to repay these amounts immediately, the note holders have verbally communicated to management their willingness to continue holding the notes until new terms are negotiated. We will accrue interest on these unpaid balances at the coupon rate of 10% until a settlement is reached.
