1.
General:
Blink Logic Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Washington on June 5, 1968 as Quad Metals Corporation (“Quad”). Quad became a Nevada incorporated company on December 11, 2002 when it merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company was renamed DataJungle Software Inc. on November 18, 2003. Effective November 2, 2007, DataJungle Software Inc. changed its name to Blink Logic Inc. The name change to Blink Logic Inc. was effected by forming Blink Logic Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DataJungle Software Inc., and having Blink Logic Inc. merge into DataJungle Software Inc.
The Company develops and markets a web-based front-end dashboard software product for leading business intelligence platforms. The product allows an end-user to create highly visual and interactive dashboard views on top of their existing databases and data cubes without significant involvement from specialized software programmers.

Summary of significant accounting policies:
(a)
Basis of presentation:
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and include the accounts of Blink Logic Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blink Logic Corp. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies are consistent with the policies outlined in the Company’s audited financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007 except for the adoption of SFAS 157 which was effective January 1, 2008 as described in note 2(c).
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily representative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Moreover, these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 minimal revenues, negative working capital of $5,429,669 as at March 31, 2008 and has incurred a loss of $6,230,228 and negative cash flow from operations of $1,109,239 for the three months then ended. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $18,901,947 which results in a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,346,725. The Company did not make monthly payments of $226,111 on its debentures due on March 28, 2008 and April 28, 2008. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and has no lines of credit or other financing facilities in place. The Company requires additional capital by June 2008 and increases to its revenue on a profitable basis in order to continue o perations. To date, the Company has been able to finance its operations from private placements of its securities.

2.
Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
(a)
Basis of presentation (continued):
All of the factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address these issues include raising capital through the private placement of equity and renegotiating the repayment terms of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement the above plans. Failure to implement these plans could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and or results of operations and may result in ceasing operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be required if the going concern assumption was not appropriate and consequently that the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal cour se of operations.
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 selling 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, 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.
(b)
Foreign currency translation:
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of its subsidiary as it was determined that the subsidiary is a direct and integral component of the operations of the Company and no longer a self-contained entity due to the ongoing financial resources required by the subsidiary from the Company. Monetary assets and liabilities have been measured in U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been measured in U.S. dollars on the dates the assets were acquired or liabilities were assumed. Revenues and expenses have been measured in U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period. All other gains and losses on measurement in U.S. dollars are reflected in income when incurred. T ranslation adjustments for periods prior to January 1, 2008 have been included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and translated amounts for non-monetary assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 have been used as the accounting basis for those assets or liabilities subsequent to December 31, 2007.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
(b)
Foreign currency translation (continued):
Prior to January 1, 2008, the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary was the Canadian dollar and the financial statements of the subsidiary were translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses were reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
(c)
Fair value measurements:
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 March 31, 2008, the Company did not have such assets or li abilities 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.
The adoption of SFAS 157 required additional disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements which are contained in note 14.

Comprehensive loss:
Comprehensive loss includes the net loss and other comprehensive loss (“OCL”). OCL refers to changes in net assets from transactions and other events and circumstances other than transactions with stockholders. These changes are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ deficiency and excluded from net loss. The only comprehensive loss item for the Company relates to foreign currency translation gains and losses resulting from the consolidation of the financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary for periods prior to January 1, 2008. No foreign currency adjustments were recorded to comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to the adoption of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary as explained in note 2(b).
4.
Other account payable:
On February 28, 2008, the Company purchased $141,520 of software and $32,419 of related support services. On that date, the Company and the supplier entered into a payment plan agreement (“Payment Plan”) under which the Company paid $25,000 on February 28, 2008 and the balance is payable in four installments of $39,927 each on May 1, 2008, August 1, 2008, November 1, 2008 and February 1, 2009. These blended principal and interest payments include interest at 14.52%.

Additional terms and conditions related to long-term debt are as follows:
(a)
On August 6, 2007, the Company received cash consideration of $150,000 in exchange for the issuance of a 10% promissory note maturing on August 5, 2009. The promissory note and accrued interest are convertible, at the lender’s option, into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.91 per share. Interest is due and payable on a quarterly basis at the request of the lender. At the option of the Company, interest can be paid in cash or shares of common stock of the Company calculated at a 10% discount to the average closing price of the common stock for ten trading days prior to the date interest is due to the lender. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, $3,781 was paid to the lender
As consideration for the advance of funds to the Company by the lender, the Company agreed to grant 64,286 shares of common stock of the Company to the lender. In accordance with APB 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, $97,433 of the cash consideration received by the Company was allocated to the promissory notes and $52,567 was allocated to the shares of common stock based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance of the promissory notes.
At the date of issuance, the conversion feature of the promissory notes was “in-the-money”. The intrinsic value of this beneficial conversion feature was $75,644. In accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, this amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
The promissory note is being accreted to face value on an effective interest rate basis through a periodic charge to interest expense over the period to maturity. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $6,789 was charged to interest expense and in 2007, $7,618 was charged to interest expense.
Accrued interest of $3,740 (December 31, 2007 - $3,781) has been included in accrued liabilities at March 31, 2008.

There was no accounting impact in 2007 of the extension of the maturity date of the promissory note. On February 14, 2008, the Company repaid $99,980 (C$100,000) and accrued interest of $14,374 (C$14,377) to the lender.

Long-term debt (continued):
(c)
On September 28, 2007, the Company received cash consideration of $3,500,000 in exchange for the issuance of $4,070,000 of non-interest bearing debentures maturing on September 28, 2009. The debentures are convertible, at the lender’s option and subject to certain ownership limitations, into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.05 per share. Commencing March 28, 2008, the Company is required to redeem $226,111 of the debentures per month. The Company can elect to make these payments, subject to certain conditions, in shares of common stock of the Company at the lower of $1.05 per share or the volume weighted average trading price for shares of common stock of the Company for ten trading days prior to each monthly redemption date. The Company can repay all or any portion of the debentures at any time, subject to certain conditions, by paying a n amount equal to 120% of the outstanding principal. In addition, the Company can require the lenders’ to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions, if the volume weighted average trading price for shares of common stock of the Company exceeds $3.15 per share for twenty out of thirty consecutive trading days.
The Company did not make the monthly payments of $226,111 due on March 28, 2008 and April 28, 2008. On May 15, 2008, the lenders agreed to amend the terms of the debentures In addition, the lenders agreed to waive their rights to demand payment of the debentures and waive any interest and penalties due as a result of not making the payments as described above (note 15).
As consideration for advance of the funds, the Company agreed to grant warrants to the lenders to purchase 2,907,145 shares of common stock of the Company at $1.96 per share. The warrants expire on September 28, 2012.
In accordance with APB 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, $256,794 of the cash consideration received by the Company was allocated to the debentures, $1,165,759 was allocated to the embedded derivatives and $2,077,447 was allocated to the warrants and included in additional paid-in capital based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance of the debentures in 2007. At December 31, 2007, the estimated value of the embedded derivatives was $2,015,848. At March 31, 2008, the estimated value of the embedded derivatives was $4,743,676. As a consequence, a loss on the embedded derivatives of $2,727,828 has been recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The debentures are being accreted to the face value of $4,070,000 on an effective interest rate basis through a periodic charge to interest expense over the period to maturity. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $527,581 was charged to interest expense pursuant to this accretion.

Stock option plan:
Under the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), up to 714,286 shares of authorized but unissued common stock of the Company can be granted to officers, employees and consultants. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant, vest over a period of time as determined by the Board of Directors and expire no later than ten years from the date of vesting.
At March 31, 2008, there were 283,829 additional shares available for grant under the Plan.
For purposes of estimating the grant date fair value of stock options, the Company uses the Black Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions including the expected term of the options, expected volatility of the underlying stock over the expected term of the options and the risk-free interest rate. The expected term of the options has been estimated by using the historical term of options. Historical volatility of the Company’s shares is used as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The fair value 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, provided that total compensation expense recognized at least equals the pro rata value of the award that has vested.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no stock options granted by the Company.

14. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities at March 31, 2008 is as follows:
| | | | |
Liabilities: | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
Embedded derivatives liability | $ - | $4,743,676 | $ - | $4,743,676 |
Valuation Methodology:
In determining the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, the Company uses a pricing model having independent market observable inputs such as yield curves, interest rates and volatilities. Since the Company uses observable inputs in its valuation of its embedded derivative liability, it is considered Level 2.
The fair value of the long-term debt is $3,532,459. In determining the fair value of the long-term debt, the Company uses a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value. The Company has estimated discount rates based on similar debt instruments in determining the fair value.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment tax credits receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.
15. Subsequent event:
On May 15, 2008, the Company and the holders of the Company’sdebentures entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the debentures so that monthly payments of $271,333 are due commencing on July 28, 2008 and the 28th day of each month thereafter until maturity on September 28, 2009. In addition, the lenders agreed to waive their rights to demand payment of the debentures and waived any penalties and interest due as a result of payments of $226,111 that were not made by the Company on March 28, 2008 and April 28, 2008.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 Quarterly Report (“Report”). For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
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 may 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 minimal sales to date;
·
our future requirements for additional capital 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 and the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America which often require the judgment of management in the selection and application of certain accounting principles and methods. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical to an understanding of the financial position and results of operations for the Company discussed in this section because the application of these policies requires significant judgment on the part of management, and as a result, actual future developments may be different from those expected at the time that we make these critical judgments. Additional accounting policies for the Company have been disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Foreign currency translation:
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary:
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of its subsidiary as it was determined that the subsidiary is a direct and integral component of the operations of the Company and no longer a self-contained entity due to the ongoing financial resources required by the subsidiary from the Company. Monetary assets and liabilities have been measured in U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been measured in U.S. dollars on the dates the assets were acquired or liabilities were assumed. Revenues and expenses have been measured in U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period. All other gains and losses on measurement in U.S. dollars are reflected in income when incurred. T ranslation adjustments for periods prior to January 1, 2008 have been included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and translated amounts for non-monetary assets and

liabilities at December 31, 2007 have been used as the accounting basis for those assets or liabilities subsequent to December 31, 2007.
Prior to January 1, 2008, the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary was the Canadian dollar and the financial statements of the subsidiary were translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses were reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Recently adopted accounting standards
(i) 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 financial statements. The disclosures required by SFAS 157 are included in Note 14, “Fair Value Measurements,” to the Company’s consolidate d financial statements.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007
Revenues: Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $26,546 compared to $142,781 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Services revenue decreased from $112,223 in 2007 to $26,546 in 2008. This decrease of approximately $85,700 results from a decrease in the number of service contracts in 2008 and $62,300 of this decrease results from one customer.
Product revenue decreased from $30,558 in 2007 to $Nil in 2008. There were no product sales in 2008 due to a transition in our sales model from selling on-premises software licenses to selling a hosted on-demand web-based business intelligence service.
Gross profit: Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $17,016 (64% of revenue) compared to $118,546 (83% of revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
In 2008, the gross profit on services was $17,016 (64% of services revenue) compared to $87,988 (78% of services revenue) in 2007. The decrease in gross profit results primarily from the decrease in services contracts in 2008. The decrease in gross profit on a percentage basis results from revenue in 2008 being more weighted to lower margin customer support contracts than in 2007.
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,999,753 compared to $445,865 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in costs of approximately $1,553,900 includes the following significant items:
·
Increase in compensation costs of approximately $40,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. This increase results from hiring a Chief Executive Officer in California in July 2007 at a higher level of compensation than the person located in Ottawa, Ontario who held that position prior to July 2007.

In addition, we incurred costs of approximately $50,300 in 2008 for two other contracts for investor relations and communications services. In 2007, we incurred costs of approximately $302,200 for these services.

Increase in financing fees and other costs related to closing financing in September 2007 and filing a related Registration Statement on SEC Form SB-2 which was effective in December 2007 of approximately $25,900 in 2008 compared to 2007 due to the amortization of deferred charges in 2008.
·
Increase in rent expense of approximately $22,300 in 2008 compared to 2007 due to opening offices in Mill Valley, California and St. John’s, Newfoundland in mid to late 2007 and allocating 100% of the costs of our office in Ottawa, Ontario to general and administrative expenses in 2008 compared to 50% in 2007. In addition, we incurred costs in 2008 related to an office in Florida used by one of our sales representatives.

·
Increase in compensation related costs of approximately $263,500 in 2008 compared to 2007 due primarily to a net increase in staff in the U.S. and St. John’s, Newfoundland and an increase in the allocation of our staff in Ottawa to sales and marketing activities.

·
Decrease in compensation related costs of approximately $10,200 in 2008 compared to 2007. In 2008, we allocated more of our staff in Ottawa, Ontario to sales and marketing efforts.

These decreases in costs were partially offset by costs for our Chief Technical Officer in California who was hired in November 2007.

Increase in other miscellaneous costs of approximately $2,400 in 2008 compared to 2007.
Depreciation:
Depreciation was $22,776 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in depreciation in 2008 resulted from the purchase of approximately $145,000 of software and other fixed assets in 2008.
Interest expense: Interest expenseincreased from $121,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $541,701 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase results primarily from the impact of the accretion on the debentures.
Loss on embedded derivatives: Loss on embedded derivatives was $2,727,828 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $Nil for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In September 2007, we closed financing and incurred a debt obligation that included embedded derivatives. On December 31, 2007, the estimated value of the embedded derivatives was $2,015,848. On March 31, 2008, the estimated value of the embedded derivatives was $4,743,676 which resulted in a loss of $2,727,828 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
27
Foreign exchange:
Foreign exchange gain was $3,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $465 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Net loss:
Net loss was $6,230,228 ($0.94 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $701,666 ($0.16 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our revenues and future profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent upon our ability to:
·
license our software applications to a sufficient number of clients
·
provide enhanced benefits to existing users through ongoing improvements to our software applications; and
·
successfully develop related software applications.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
General: At March 31, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of $5,429,669 compared to negative working capital of $969,900 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in working capital at March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 results primarily from the impact of the loss on embedded derivatives described above. The Company had cash of $823,422 at March 31, 2008 compared to cash of $1,949,862 at December 31, 2007.
These funds are not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of our plan of operations. In addition, the Company did not make monthly payments of $226,111 on its debentures due on March 28, 2008 and April 28, 2008. On May 15, 2008, the Company and the holders of the Company’s debentures entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the debentures so that monthly payments of $271,333 are due commencing on July 28, 2008 and on the 28th day of each month thereafter until maturity on September 28, 2009. In addition, the lenders agreed to waive their rights to demand payment of the debentures and waived any penalties and interest due as a result of the payments that were not made on March 28, 2008 and April 28, 2008. The Company will require additional capital by June 2008 and increases to revenue on a profitable basis. The Company cannot be certain that sufficient reso urces will be available to satisfy its liquidity requirements. The factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is reviewing various options to address its working capital and cash flow needs, including without limitation the issuance of new debt or equity securities in one or more series or classes and the negotiation of repayment terms of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management’s ability to successfully implement the above plans. Failure to implement these plans could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s position and or results of operations and may result in ceasing operations. 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 a nd it may need to continue to raise capital by selling additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities.
Net cash used in operating activities: During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company used $1,109,239 of cash in operations compared to a use of cash in operations of $123,814 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The use of cash in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 resulted from a net loss of $6,230,228 and a net change in non-cash working capital of $71,819 offset by non-cash consulting fees of $1,694,214, non-cash compensation expense of $198,564, depreciation of $22,776, non-cash interest expense of $523,547, non-cash financing fees of $25,879 and a non-cash loss on embedded derivatives of $2,727,828. The use of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2007 resulted from a net loss of $701,666 offset by non-cash consulting fees of $284,177, non-cash compensation expense of $37,481, non-cash interest expense of $121,446, depreciation expense of $1 ,079 and net change in non-cash working capital of $133,669.
Net cash provided by financing activities: During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company received $88,015 pursuant to a repayable assistance program with the Government of Canada for its office in St. John’s, Newfoundland. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repaid $99,980 to a lender.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company raised $56,000 by issuing 10% promissory notes and raised $45,967 by issuing 10% promissory notes to a related party.

N/A
ITEMS 4 and 4T CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our management, including our principal executive officer and our 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. Following this review and evaluation, management collectively determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective 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 ou r chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
29
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management 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. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework Based on our assessment our management has concluded that our controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report due to the existence of the significant internal control deficiencies described below.
In addition, and in connection with the review of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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, (2) a lack of formal procedures relating to all areas of financial reporting including a lack of detailed supervisory review by management and (3) signing authority with respect to corporate bank accounts. 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 consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company 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 weaknesses identified by our independent registered public accountants, we believe that the consolidated 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 r epresented in this report.
The size of the Company 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. Set forth below is a discussion of the significant internal control deficiencies that had not been remediated as of the beginning of the period covered by this Report.
Lackof segregation of duties.
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. There is one full-time person and one part-time person involved in processing of transactions. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is insufficient volume of transactions to justify additional full time staff. 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 formal procedures relating to all areas of financial reporting including a lack of detailed supervisory review by management.
Due to the size of our Company, and as a consequence of the lack segregation of duties, we do not have formal month end close procedures. In addition, the Company’s policies and procedures do not provide for sufficiently detailed supervisory review controls with respect to our accounting functions. As a result, there is a lack of timely
30
review of the consolidated financial statements and Forms 10-Q and 10-K. This deficiency resulted in errors in the Company’s preliminary consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2008, and more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement would not be prevented or detected in the Company’s annual or interim financial statements. This significant internal control deficiency has not been remediated as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Signing authority with respect to corporate bank accounts.
Our Company bank accounts in California require only the signature of the President and CEO. As a result, we are relying on the integrity of our President and CEO with respect to disbursements from our Company bank accounts in California. Our Chief Financial Officer monitors our Company bank accounts in California on a regular basis. However, there can be no assurance that unauthorized or unsupported transactions will not occur.
If we are unable to remediate the identified material weaknesses, 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.
This Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
