QI SYSTEMS INC.
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
for the six months ended December 31, 2006
(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 | Interim Reporting |
QI Systems Inc. (“QI” or “the Company”) was incorporated in 1978 under the British Columbia Company Act. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation to the State of Delaware, USA. The Company manufactures, designs and sells readers that allow the use of cash-card payment systems for self-serve applications such as vending, gaming, laundromat machines, transit fare collection systems and newspaper vending machines.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2006 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Note 2 | Continuance of Operations |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2006, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $15,450,493 since its inception, has a working capital deficit of $305,605 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 | Additional Significant Accounting Policy |
Beneficial Conversion Feature
When the Company issues convertible debt securities with a non-detachable conversion feature that provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value on the commitment date, it is known as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and EITF Issue No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the conversion feature of the security that has characteristics of an equity instrument is measured at its intrinsic value at the commitment date and is recorded as additional paid in capital. A portion of the proceeds of the security issued is allocated to the conversion feature equal to its intrinsic value to a maximum of the proceeds received. The resulting discount of the debt instrument is amortized into income as interest expense over the conversion feature’s vesting period.
Note 4 | Related Party Transactions |
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company entered into four separate loan agreements with two shareholders of the Company and a related party to one of the shareholders (Note 5). A portion of the proceeds from the loan with the related party to one of the shareholders was used to pay off two earlier loans from the same shareholder.
Note 5 | Shareholder Loans |
The following borrowing transactions occurred during the six months ended December 31, 2006:
By a loan agreement dated August 4, 2006, the Company was loaned $50,000 by a shareholder of the Company. This loan is unsecured and non-interest bearing. The agreement provides that if the loan is not repaid within 60 days, interest will accrue at a monthly rate of 2% of the principal unpaid balance. As a funding fee for the loan, the Company agreed to issue the shareholder 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares were issued in October 2006. This loan was subsequently paid off as part of a new loan agreement dated December 18, 2006. Interest accrued on this loan was forgiven.

(Unaudited)
Note 5 | Shareholder Loans (continued) |
By an agreement dated August 31, 2006, the Company was loaned $100,000 by the above noted shareholder. This loan is secured and non-interest bearing. The loan is secured by the Company’s inventory, equipment, trademarks, trade names, contract rights and leasehold interests. The agreement provides that if the loan is not repaid within 90 days, interest will accrue at a monthly rate of 2.5% of the principal unpaid balance. As a funding fee for the loan, the Company agreed to issue the shareholder 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The shares were issued in October 2006. This loan was subsequently paid off as part of a new loan agreement dated December 18, 2006. Interest accrued on this loan was forgiven.
By an agreement dated September 5, 2006, the Company was loaned $150,000 by a shareholder of the Company. The subordinated loan has a term of five years; bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.07 per share. In addition, for each share of common stock issued upon conversion, a warrant to purchase additional shares of common stock of the Company will be issued at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for two years from the date the loan is converted. An amount of $150,000 was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of this loan. This amount has been included in interest on long term debt. At December 31, 2006, accrued interest of $4,708 has been recorded.
By an agreement dated December 18, 2006, the Company was loaned $250,000 by a company affiliated with a shareholder. The loan is secured by the Company’s inventory, equipment, trademarks, trade names, contract rights and leasehold interest. The agreement provides that if the loan is not repaid within 90 days, interest will accrue at a monthly rate of 2.5% of the principal unpaid balance. As a funding fee for the loan, the Company issued 500,000 restricted shares of its common stock. As a condition of the loan, the Company agreed to pay off the August 5, 2006 loan for $50,000 and the August 31, 2006 loan for $100,000 from the same shareholder. Interest accrued on those two loans was forgiven.

Our Business
We operate as a designer, developer and marketer of hardware and software for smart cards. We are a leading supplier of smart card systems for various vertical markets including vending machines, parking meters, gaming, photocopiers, laundry machines and water operators. Our products have been installed in Canada, the United States of America, Venezuela, the United Kingdom and Norway.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2006 were $187,676, primarily derived from the sale of smart cards and ancillary products to our client base, fundamentally within the parking and newspaper vending industries. Sales of our products in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 157% from sales achieved in the preceding quarter. This represents $114,631 in additional sales. Sales continue to be concentrated in a few clients. Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased by $114,909, or158%, over sales in the comparative fiscal 2006 period. The increase in sales is the result of demand changes from our most significant clients in the parking and newspaper vending industries.
We incurred a net loss of $361,806 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and have incurred losses in past periods. Losses were funded by the receipt of share capital and the exercise of stock purchase warrants. We expect to be able to fund working capital requirements in future periods with cash flow from operations and the issuance of equity.
Cost of sales during the period was $108,935, which represents 58% of sales, an increase from total cost of sales of $34,319, or 47% of sales, in the comparative quarter. Gross margins were $78,741 or42% of sales (comparative quarter: 53% of sales).
Our expenses in the quarter are categorized as administration, amortization, development costs, financing costs and interest, investor relations, sales and marketing and professional fees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, administration expenses were $134,597 (comparative period: $194,755), which include the following three major expenses: salaries and benefits paid to employees performing administrative duties, foreign exchange expense (most of which is unrealized and refers to adjustments of monetary items at quarter end) and rent expense.
Development costs in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $26,272 (comparative period: $31,936), of which the most significant expense was for salaries and benefits paid to employees involved in the development of our products. We anticipate that development costs will increase in fiscal 2007 to accommodate our projected increased commercial activity.
Financing costs of $30,807 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 included $30,000 relating to the fair value of shares issued to a shareholder as funding fees for a loan made to us.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we incurred investor relations expenses of $126,095, (comparative period $125,886), most of which refers to the amortization of the cost attributed to shares committed for issuance to investor relations providers. Other costs are for consulting fees provided to us relating to investor relations services.
Sales and marketing expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 totalled $70,705 (comparative period: $31,179), which consists fundamentally of salaries, commissions and benefits.
Professional fees of $37,774 during the quarter (comparative quarter $62,122) were for audit and legal fees incurred in connection with regulatory and compliance work. It is expected that fiscal 2007 professional fees will be lower than those in the prior year due to the completion of our change in domicile at the end of fiscal 2006.
We recorded an operating loss of $362,445 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, compared to an operating loss of $433,930 in the three months ended December 31, 2005. In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we posted a net loss of $361,806, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $391,252 or $0.01 per share in the comparative period.
During the quarter, we invested in $3,813 of capital equipment compared to $8,276 in the comparative quarter of fiscal 2006. We will face the need to incur capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 to upgrade certain hardware used by our employees to perform their development duties.
At December 31, 2006, our cash position was $102,343, with a working capital deficit of $305,605.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2006 were $260,721, primarily derived from the sale of smart cards and ancillary products to our client base, fundamentally within the parking and newspaper vending industries. Sales continue to be concentrated in a few clients. Sales in the first six months of fiscal 2007 increased by $137,755, or 112%, from sales in the comparative fiscal 2006 period. The increase in sales is the result of demand changes from our most significant clients in the parking and newspaper vending industries.
Cost of sales during the period was $142,769, which represents 55% of sales, an increase from a total cost of sales of $53,464, or 44% of sales, in the comparative six-month period. Gross margins were $117,952 or 45% of sales (comparative six month period quarter: 56% of sales).
During the first six months of fiscal 2007, administration expenses were $320,684 (comparative period: $369,207), which include the following three major expenses: salaries and benefits paid to employees performing administrative duties, foreign exchange expense (most of which is unrealized and refers to adjustments of monetary items at each quarter end) and rent expense.
Development costs in the six months ended December 31, 2006 were $59,050 (comparative period: $80,435), of which the most significant expense was for salaries and benefits paid to employees involved in the development of our products. We anticipate that development costs will increase in fiscal 2007 to accommodate our projected increased commercial activity.
Financing costs of $73,745 during the six months ended December 31, 2006 included $72,600 relating to the fair value of shares issued to a shareholder as funding fees for loans made to us. During the comparative six month period, we had no formal debt and our financing costs were only $1,411.
Interest expense on long term debt of $152,601 in the six months ended December 31, 2006 included $147,939 of beneficial conversion expense relating to a loan agreement with one of our shareholders.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we incurred investor relations expenses of $267,115, (comparative period $268,067), most of which refers to the non-cash amortization of the cost attributed to shares committed for issuance to investor relations providers. Other costs are for consulting fees provided to us relating to investor relations services.
Sales and marketing expense in the six months ended December 31, 2006 totalled $113,889 (comparative period: $68,677), consisting fundamentally of salaries and benefits. The increase is attributable to salary and commissions earned by our VP of Business Development who was not an employee in the comparable six month period.
Professional fees of $59,638 during the six months in fiscal 2007 decreased over the prior year’s expense of $77,415. Current expenses are primarily for audit and legal fees incurred in connection with regulatory and compliance work. It is expected that future professional fees will continue to be lower than those in the current six months due to the completion of our change in domicile at the end of fiscal 2006.
We recorded an operating loss of $943,093 in the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to an operating loss of $847,318 in the six months ended December 31, 2005. In the six months ended December 31, 2006, we posted a net loss of $942,407, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $804,640 or $0.02 per share in the comparative period.
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we invested in $3,813 of capital equipment compared to $17,681 in the comparative six months of fiscal 2006. We will face the need to incur capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 to upgrade certain hardware used by our employees to perform their development duties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred operating losses in the reporting period and in past periods. Our ability to continue operating as a going concern is contingent on our ability to rely on equity or debt financing to cover operating deficits until such time as our operations become cash neutral or cash positive.
In December 2006, we became obligated to repay a secured, non-interest bearing loan in the amount of $250,000 to a company affiliated with a shareholder. The agreement, pursuant to which the loan was made, provides that if the loan is not repaid within 90 days, interest will accrue at a monthly rate of 2.5% of the principal unpaid balance. As a funding fee for the loan, we issued 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock. As a condition of the loan, we agreed to pay off the August 5, 2006 loan for $50,000 and the August 31, 2006 loan for $100,000 from the same shareholder. Interest accrued on these two loans was forgiven.
On October 3, 2006, we completed a private placement of 2,408,873 units at $0.07 per unit for total proceeds of $168,621. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at $0.20 per share until October 3, 2008.
In February 2007, we completed a private placement of 1,428,571 units at seven cents ($0.07) per unit for gross proceeds of $100,000. Each unit is comprised of one restricted share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.20 per share. The warrants expire in February 2009.
As disclosed in Results of Operations, we posted a net loss in the six months ended December 31, 2006 of $942,407. Losses in subsequent periods will be reduced or eliminated if we are able to secure sales streams that are still not fully in place at the date of this report. Even if we achieve decreasing quarterly losses in subsequent periods, we still may face the need to raise additional funding in the capital markets or through further short or long-term debt in the near future, until we can achieve positive cash flows from operations.
We are not currently committed to further capital expenditures for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based on this evaluation, they conclude that the disclosure controls and procedures effectively ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, known to the principal executive and principal financial officer that occurred during the period of this report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
