Nymox is pleased to present its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
NX-1207 is Nymoxs drug in development for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). NX-1207 is currently in late stage clinical trials. Nymox announced at intervals during 2005 that interim safety analyses of its ongoing multi-center Phase 2 trial of NX-1207 had revealed no serious drug side effects. This late stage trial is being undertaken at over 40 clinical trial sites across the U.S. In the two previously completed trials in the U.S., the drug had shown excellent efficacy without serious side effects. Symptom improvement was measured using a standard and widely accepted BPH symptom score rating scale (American Urological Association, AUA BPH Symptom Score). The AUA BPH symptom score measurement includes data on 1) sensations of incomplete emptying of the bladder; 2) need to urinate frequently; 3) stopping and starting during urination; 4) urgent need to urinate; 5) weakness of urinary stream; 6) need to push or strain during urination; and 7) urination during sleep (nocturia). In the Phase 1-2 trials to date, the subjects treated with NX-1207 showed a statistically significant overall mean symptom improvement and shrinkage in prostate size. There were no significant adverse side effects from the drug in the completed trials. Subjects followed for up to two years post-treatment showed symptom improvement of 9.3 points. In the initial trials, average prostate shrinkage was 23% after one month of treatment.
On February 24, Nymox announced that its proprietary NXC-4720 product for the treatment of potentially fatal E. coli O157:H7 contamination is capable of reducing the level of contamination on fresh beef by 99% according to laboratory studies. The studies used fresh beef samples inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 bacteria and then treated with the Companys product. Nymoxs NXC-4720 product is designed for the treatment of meat at the processing stage. Reducing or eliminating E. coli O157:H7 in cattle has potential benefits not only for the safety of beef products but also for public water supplies that can become contaminated from run-off from cattle farming operations where there are cattle harboring the deadly bacteria.
On July 26, Nymox announced that the Company had received a Notice of Allowance of a new U.S. patent covering a wide range of uses of its anti-bacterial treatments both in animals and in man. The Companys proprietary NXC-4720 anti-bacterial product targets potentially fatal E. coli O157:H7 contamination of beef, both at the slaughterhouse and at the feedlot level of production. Nymox currently has rights to 6 U.S. patents and patent applications in this area alone, in addition to numerous international versions of these patents.
On March 30, Nymox announced that its U.S. and global patent rights and prospects for the use of statin drugs for treating, preventing or reducing the risk of Alzheimers disease (AD) in patients at risk for the disease had been strongly bolstered by published study data showing growing acceptance of the drugs indications for patients at risk for dementia. According to a study published in the Journal of Neurological Sciences (March 2005; 229-230: 147-150), researchers at the University of Leister surveyed 177 practicing doctors in rural England about the role of statins in the management of patients at risk for developing cognitive impairment or with cognitive impairment related to vascular disease or factors and found that nearly half (47%) felt that statins have an important role in helping patients at risk of developing cognitive impairment.
On May 11, Nymox announced that further evidence that statin drugs may help in the fight against Alzheimers disease had been provided by a prospective double blind study of Alzheimers disease patients published in the May issue of the Archives of Neurology (May, 2005; 62:753-7). Researchers led by Dr. Larry Sparks at the Sun Health Research Institute in Arizona found evidence that a daily dose of atorvastatin (Lipitor®) could help slow the progressive deterioration of mental function and behavior usually found in mild to moderate Alzheimers disease patients. On May 17, Nymox announced that according to a large study of 8,574 patients published in Neurology (May, 2005; 64:1531-8), taking a statin drug reduces the risk of all types of dementia, including Alzheimers disease, by 44%. In the study of persons aged 65 or more living in three cities in France, researchers compared the prevalence of dementia among those individuals who took a statin drug to lower their cholesterol against those who did not. Overall, the prevalence of dementia was 44% lower for those individuals taking a statin to lower cholesterol. Most of the dementia cases observed were Alzheimers disease (65.1%).

On September 12, Nymox announced that the potential use of statins to treat Alzheimers disease (AD) was featured in the September issue of The Lancet Neurology (Sept. 2005;4: 521-2). The article concluded that statins, which are used to lower cholesterol levels, may be useful in the prevention or delaying onset of AD, in treating the symptoms of AD, and in slowing disease progression. According to the article Delaying of the disease process would be of great clinical and public-health importance. Statins may be useful both in the prevention or delaying of onset, in treating the symptoms, and in slowing the progression. On September 22, Nymox also announced that several peer-reviewed scientific articles had provided further support for the beneficial effects of statin drugs for the treatment or prevention of Alzheimers disease (AD). In an article in the Journal of Neuroscience Research (J Neurosci Res 2005; 82:10-19) it was reported that statin drugs reduced the survival of inflammatory microglia in AD brain, an effect which could protect the brain against inflammatory damage in AD. In a second article published online in the prestigious Journal of Biological Chemistry (J Biol Chem Aug 2005; M505268200) based on experiments with microglia, researchers came to the conclusion that statins protectively block the microglial mediated inflammatory response in AD brain.
During 2005, the Company signed several distribution agreements for the marketing and sale of its AlzheimAlert test kit with medical diagnostic companies in Europe. The certification of the AlzheimAlert test kit with a CE Mark indicates that the Company has fulfilled the required regulations which will allow European clinical and hospital laboratories to perform the AlzheimAlert test in their own facilities in Europe. Nymox announced that it had entered into a distribution agreement with Alifax S.p.A., a leading Italian medical diagnostic company, for the marketing and sales of its AlzheimAlert product in Italy. The Company also announced that it entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with KlinLab Ltd., the premier Czech clinical laboratory company, for the marketing and sales of Nymoxs AlzheimAlert product. On July 5, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with B. Caravitis S.A. for the marketing and sales of Nymoxs AlzheimAlert product in Greece. The Zafiropoulos-Caravitis Group is a market leader in sales and marketing of scientific technology and also operates a manufacturing facility for clinical chemistry products for a significant portion of the Greek market. On September 8, Nymox announced that it had entered into an agreement with Brainpharma S.L. for the marketing and sale of the AlzheimAlert product in Spain. Brainpharma is an international pharmaceutical company headquartered in Spain formed by Grupo Ferrer Internacional S.A. and Farmalider S.A. to develop and commercialize health care products in the domain of neuropsychiatry.
The Companys NTP (AlzheimAlert) test is approved under CLIA regulations for sale in the U.S. from a central laboratory. It is also approved as a kit in all the countries of the European Union. The Company is still trying to gain FDA clearance for the kit version of the NTP test. On July 15, 2005, an FDA advisory panel voted 5-2 against approval of the kit, citing the need for further studies, such as long term follow-up starting at the family practice stage and following all the way to autopsy confirmation. The Company has subsequently filed further proposals with the FDA concerning meeting requirements for approval of the kit version of the test.
On April 15, Nymox announced that the Companys AlzheimAlert product was featured in a cover story in the Clinical Laboratory News, the official publication of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC). The story, Searching for a Diagnostic Tool for Alzheimers Disease, highlighted the need for a diagnostic test for Alzheimers disease and reviewed some of the ongoing efforts to develop such tests. AACC is an international scientific/medical society of clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, research scientists and other individuals involved with clinical chemistry and other clinical laboratory science-related disciplines.

On November 29, Nymox announced that researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported developing a new use for Nymoxs NicAlert product (Journal of Analytical Toxicology November/December, 2005; 29: 814-818). The authors of the new NicAlert study, John T. Bernert, Tia Harmon and James McGuffey of the CDCs Tobacco Exposure Biomarkers Laboratory, coupled NicAlert testing with image scanning and processing software in order to provide more quantitative cotinine measurements in the urine of individuals exposed to second-hand smoke and tobacco products. The resulting NicAlert measurements correlated well with the far more sophisticated testing (LC/MS/MS) used in the CDC laboratory. The authors also noted this method of NicAlert testing may also be helpful in smoking cessation and other studies.
On March 16, Nymox announced that NicAlert had been shown to increase the success of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) according to a team of Swiss researchers led by Dr. Karl Klingler of the Hirslanden Lung Center, Zurich, Switzerland. The researchers had found that the success rate was significantly improved when NicAlert was used in conjunction with NRT to measure nicotine consumption. Dr. Klinger said, The benefit of using NRT for smoking cessation is clearly affected by proper dosing. Using NicAlert to accurately measure nicotine consumption has been shown to increase the efficacy of NRT therapy by 26%.
On October 20, Nymox announced that NicAlert and TobacAlert, were featured in numerous US media spots. The products had been the subject of news reports on US television, in newspaper stories, and in magazine articles. According to market tracking, the exposure has been to over 10 million readers, and many million viewers. In an article in Advance for Nurses (September 2005, article written by Stephanie Adamow), the tobacco exposure reduction efforts led by Dr. Sher Todd of the Tobacco free Babies Project in Reno, Nevada were highlighted. This research had extensively used the Nymox products. According to Dr. Todd, tobacco use and exposure should be routinely assessed as a vital sign like blood pressure or weight, particularly for pregnant women.
On November 9, Nymox announced that its TobacAlert product received a positive independent assessment in Londons Daily Mirror. The article emphasized the usefulness of TobacAlert in assessing the potential danger and damage people face from second hand smoke exposure. Earlier in the year, the Company also announced that its TobacAlert product received a positive independent assessment in the New York Daily News Guinea Pig column, which provides regular reports on products for health and fitness based on tests conducted by the newspaper.
On October 19, the Company announced that it had entered into a new distribution agreement with RAL Tecnica para el laboratoria S.A. (RAL) for the marketing and sales of Nymoxs NicAlert product in Spain. RAL Tecnica is a leading Spanish diagnostic and clinical chemistry marketing company based in Barcelona, with an extensive sales and distribution network throughout Spain. On December 16, Nymox announced that it had entered into an agreement with Adastra Medical Ltd for the marketing and sales of Nymoxs TobacAlert product in the U.K. Adastra Medical specializes in point-of-care (POC) tests for hospital and retail diagnostic markets.
We wish to thank our over 4,000 shareholders for your valuable support. The Nymox team is working diligently to advance our many projects. We look forward with confidence to an exciting upcoming year for the Company.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The business activities of the Company since inception have been devoted principally to research and development. Accordingly, the Company has had limited revenues from sales and has not been profitable to date. We refer to the Corporate Profile for a discussion of the Companys research and development projects and its product pipeline. We refer to the Risk Factors section of our 20F filed on EDGAR for a discussion of the management and investment issues that affect the Company and our industry.
In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies. According to the SEC release, accounting policies are among the most critical if they are, in managements view, most important to the portrayal of the companys financial condition and most demanding on their calls for judgment.
Our accounting policies are described in the notes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements. We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the matters that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has generally derived its revenue from product sales, research contracts, license fees and interest. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or service has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time research activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from license fees, royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the fulfillment of all obligations under the terms of the related agreement. These agreements may include upfront payments to be received by the Company. Upfront payments are recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Deferred revenue presented in the balance sheet represents amounts billed to and received from customers in advance of revenue recognition.
The Company currently markets AlzheimAlert as a service provided by our CLIA certified reference laboratory in New Jersey. Physicians send urine samples taken from their patients to our laboratory where the AlzheimAlert test is performed. The results are then reported back to the physicians. We recognize the revenues when the test has been performed. The Company sometimes enters into bulk sales of its diagnostic services to customers under which it has a future obligation to perform related testing services at its laboratory. Although the Company receives non-refundable upfront payments under these agreements, revenue is recognized in the period that the Company fulfils its obligation or over the term of the arrangement. For research contracts and licensing revenues, the Company usually enters into an agreement specifying the terms and obligations of the parties. Revenues from these sources are only recognized when there are no longer any obligations to be performed by the Company under the terms of the agreement.

Valuation of Capital Assets
The Company reviews the unamortized balance of property and equipment, intellectual property rights and patents on an annual basis and recognizes any impairment in carrying value when it is identified. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review include:
| Significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and |
| Significant negative industry or economic trends. |
Valuation of Future Income Tax Assets
Management judgement is required in determining the valuation allowance recorded against net future tax assets. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $12.1 million as of December 31, 2005, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize some of our future tax assets, primarily consisting of net operating losses carried forward and other unclaimed deductions, before they expire. In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful commercialization of its products and technologies.

Results of Operations 2005 compared to 2004
Net losses were $821,088, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter and $3,584,528, or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $944,272, or $0.04 per share, and $3,745,625, or $0.15 per share, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2004. The weighted, diluted, average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005 were 26,103,704 compared to 25,103,252 for the same period in 2004.
7
Revenues
Revenues from sales amounted to $106,082 for the quarter and $424,506 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $78,316 for the quarter and $321,895 for the year ended December 31, 2004. A steady rise in the number of new clients ordering the NicAlert / TobacAlert product (increase 31%) and the launch of the AlzheimAlert product in Europe (increase 40%) account for the increase in sales. The Company anticipates that revenues will increase if and when product candidates pass regulatory milestones and are launched on the market.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures remained constant at $1,831,591 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $1,861,239 for the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2005, research tax credits amounted to $3,075 compared to $9,358 in 2004. The Company anticipates that research and development expenditures will not increase significantly as product candidates finish development and clinical trials. However, because of the early stage of development of the Companys R&D projects, it is impossible to outline the nature, timing or estimated costs of the efforts necessary to complete these projects, nor the anticipated completion dates for these projects. The facts and circumstances indicating the uncertainties that preclude us from making a reasonable estimate of the costs and timing necessary to complete projects include the risks inherent in any field trials, the uncertainty as to the nature and extent of regulatory requirements both for safety and efficacy, and the ability to manufacture the products in accordance with current good manufacturing requirements (cGMP) and in sufficient quantities both for large scale trials and for commercial use. A drug candidate that shows efficacy can take a long period (7 years or more) to achieve regulatory approval. There is also uncertainty whether we will be able to successfully adapt our patented technologies or whether any new products we develop will pass proof-of-principle testing both in the laboratory and in clinical trials, and whether we will be able to manufacture such products at a commercially competitive price. In addition, given the very high costs of development of therapeutic products, we anticipate having to partner with larger pharmaceutical companies to conduct and finance clinical trials. The terms of such partnership arrangements along with our related financial obligations cannot be determined at this time and the timing of completion of the approval of such products will likely not be within our sole control.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenditures were $289,612 for the year ended December 31, 2005, in comparison to expenditures of $307,649 for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to a reduction in advertising expenses. The Company anticipates that marketing expenditures will increase if and when new products are launched on the market.
Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant at $1,202,080 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $1,158,750 in the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenditures will increase as new product development leads to expanded operations.
Foreign Exchange
The Company incurs expenses in the local currency of the countries in which it operates, which include the United States and Canada. Approximately 70% of 2005 expenses (75% in 2004) were in U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange fluctuations had no meaningful impact on the Companys results in 2005 or 2004.
8
Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on its results of operations.
Long-Term Commitments
Nymox has no financial obligations of significance other than long-term lease commitments for its premises in the United States and Canada of $19,990 per month.

Results of Operations 2004 compared to 2003
Net losses were $944,272, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter and $3,745,625, or $0.15 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1,455,746, or $0.06 per share, and $4,354,288, or $0.18 per share, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2003. The weighted, diluted, average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2004 were 25,103,252 compared to 23,771,858 for the same period in 2003.
Revenues
Revenues from sales amounted to $78,316 for the quarter and $321,895 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $31,991 for the quarter and $199,217 for the year ended December 31, 2003. A steady rise in the number of new clients ordering the NicAlert / TobacAlert product account for the increase in sales.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were $1,861,239 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $2,510,051 for the year ended December 31, 2003. In 2004, research tax credits amounted to $9,358 compared to $33,019 in 2003. Corporate activities in 2004 were more focused on clinical trials and submissions to regulatory agencies, which explain the decrease in R&D expenditures and tax credits.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenditures were $307,649 for the year ended December 31, 2004, in comparison to expenditures of $197,435 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Increased marketing of our products accounts for the rise in expenditures.
Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $1,158,750 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $1,311,311 in the year ended December 31, 2003 due to a decrease in professional fees.

In 2006, the Company will adopt new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) relating to non-monetary transactions, which require non-monetary transactions to be measured at fair-value, subject to certain exceptions. The revised standards are effective for non-monetary transactions initiated in fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006. The CICA has also issued standards relating to Financial Intruments, Hedges, Comprehensive Income and Equity that will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued FAS 123R, Share Based Payments, and FAS 154 Accounting Changes and Accounting Corrections. The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material effect on its financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. Management is responsible for the information and representations contained in these financial statements and other sections of this Annual Report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP is presented in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NYMOX PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2005, 2004
and 2003
(in US dollars)
1. | Business activities: |
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (the Corporation), incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, including its subsidiaries, Nymox Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, and Serex Inc. of New Jersey, is a biopharmaceutical corporation which specializes in the research and development of products for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimers disease. The Corporation is currently marketing AlzheimAlertTM, a urinary test that aids physicians in the diagnosis of Alzheimers disease. The Corporation also markets NicAlertTM and TobacAlertTM, tests that use urine or saliva to detect use of tobacco products. The Corporation is also developing therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimers disease, new treatments for benign prostate hyperplasia, and new anti-bacterial agents for the treatment of urinary tract and other bacterial infections in humans, including a treatment for E-coli O157:H7 bacterial contamination in meat and other food and drink products. |
Since 1989, the Corporations activities and resources have been primarily focused on developing certain pharmaceutical technologies. The Corporation is subject to a number of risks, including the successful development and marketing of its technologies. In order to achieve its business plan and the realization of its assets and liabilities in the normal course of operations, the Corporation anticipates the need to raise additional capital and/or achieve sales and other revenue generating activities. Management believes that funds from operations as well as existing financing facilities will be sufficient to meet the Corporations requirements for the next year. |
The Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market. |
2. | Significant accounting policies: |
(a) | Consolidation: |
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of its US subsidiaries, Nymox Corporation and Serex Inc. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. |
Consolidated financial statements prepared under US GAAP would differ in some respects from those prepared in Canada. A reconciliation of earnings and shareholders equity reported in accordance with Canadian GAAP and with US GAAP is presented in note 12. |
(b) | Inventories: |
Inventories consist of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on the basis of weighted average cost. |

(in US dollars)
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(c) | Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property: |
Property and equipment, patents and intellectual property are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method at the following rates: |
Asset |
Rate | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Laboratory equipment |
20 | % | |||
Computer equipment | 20 | % | |||
Office equipment and fixtures | 20 | % | |||
Intellectual property rights acquired | 10 | % | |||
Direct costs incurred in connection with securing the patents are capitalized. Patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their economic useful lives or their legal terms of existence ranging from 17 to 20 years. |
In 2004, the Corporation amended its method of amortizing patent costs to be consistent with the treatment followed by the Corporation under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain patents were initially amortized by the Corporation commencing in the year of commercialization of the developed products for Canadian GAAP purposes. The Corporation now amortizes all patents over the legal life of the patents from the date the patent is secured. This change was applied retroactively and decreased amounts previously reported for patents and intellectual property on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 by $119,714 and increased the accumulated deficit at December 31, 2003 by $119,714. The change did not have a material impact on the statements of operations for the periods presented. |
(d) | Impairment and disposal of long-lived assets: |
Long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite useful lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for long-lived assets, when the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and disposal; the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the net asset exceeds its fair value. |

and 2003
(in US dollars)
2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(e) | Revenue recognition: |
Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product or service has been delivered or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Revenue from research contracts is recognized at the time research activities are performed under the agreement. Revenue from license fees, royalties and milestone payments is recognized upon the fulfillment of all obligations under the terms of the related agreement. These agreements may include upfront payments to be received by the Corporation. Upfront payments are recognized as revenue on a systematic basis over the period that the related services or obligations as defined in the agreement are performed. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis. |
Revenues from agreements that include multiple elements are considered to be a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables. Under this type of arrangement, the identification of separate units of accounting is required and revenue is recognized for each unit as described above. |
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to and received from customers in advance of revenue recognition. |
(f) | Research and development expenditures: |
Research expenditures, net of research tax credits, are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures, net of tax credits, are expensed as incurred, except if they meet the criteria for deferral in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
(g) | Foreign currency translation: |
The Corporations measurement currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Canadian and foreign operations denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities incurred. Revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the year, except for depreciation and amortization which are translated at the same rates as those used in the translation of the corresponding assets. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in the determination of net earnings. |

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(g) | Foreign currency translation (continued): |
Foreign exchange gains included in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2005 amounted to $32,243 (2004 $10,279; 2003 $16,615). |
(h) | Stock-based compensation plan: |
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the recommendations of the CICA which require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the awards vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional options permitted under the standard, the Corporation has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002 without restatement of prior periods. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy of $548,164 has been recorded as an increase in the opening deficit and additional paid-in capital at January 1, 2004. |
Prior to January 1, 2004, the Corporation applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by the CICA only to stock-based payments to non-employees, employee awards that were direct awards of stock, call for settlement in cash or other assets, and to employee stock appreciation rights; the Corporation applied the settlement method of accounting to employee stock options. Under the settlement method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options was credited to share capital and no compensation cost was recognized. |
(i) | Income taxes: |
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences (differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities), and are measured using the currently enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates and laws expected to apply when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against any future income tax asset, if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. |

2. | Significant accounting policies (continued): |
(j) | Earnings per share: |
Basic earnings per share are determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed in a manner consistent with basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding options and warrants were exercised, and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. |
(k) | Guarantees: |
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee. A guarantee is defined to be a contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Corporation to make payments to a third party based on (i) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (ii) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement or (iii) failure of another party to pay its indebtedness when due. |
A liability is recorded when the Company considers probable that a payment relating to a guarantee has to be made to the other party of the contract or agreements. |
(l) | Use of estimates: |
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, as well as estimating the recoverability of research tax credits receivable and future tax assets. The reported amounts and note disclosure are determined to reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

In 2005, the Corporation completed private placements for 1,224,719 common shares and received aggregate proceeds of $2,935,000. In 2004, the Corporation completed private placements for 1,080,462 common shares and received aggregate proceeds of $3,670,000. The share issue costs related to these private placements have been charged against the deficit. |
In 2004, the Corporation issued 1,090 common shares upon the exercise of 1,090 Series J warrants. In addition, the Corporation issued 16,953 common shares pursuant to a cashless exercise of 109,879 Series G warrants and 4,398 common shares pursuant to a cashless exercise of 22,061 Series J warrants. The value credited to share capital of $375,717 represents the ascribed value of $281,054 of the warrants exercised previously recorded by the Corporation on the consolidated balance sheet, as well as the fair value of $94,663 of the 21,351 common shares issued to the warrant holders upon exercise. |
The fair value of the common shares issued to settle the exercise of the warrants was recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital. |
(c) | Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement: |
In August 2004, the Corporation entered into a Common Stock Private Purchase Agreement with an investment company (the Purchaser) that established the terms and conditions for the purchase of common shares by the Purchaser. In October 2005, this agreement was terminated and a new agreement was concluded with the Purchaser. In general, the Corporation can, at its discretion, require the Purchaser to purchase up to $13 million of common shares over a twenty-four-month period based on notices given by the Corporation. |
The number of shares to be issued in connection with each notice shall be equal to the amount specified in the notice, divided by 97% of the average price of the Corporations common shares for the five days preceding the giving of the notice. The maximum amount of each notice is $500,000 and the minimum amount is $150,000. The Corporation may terminate the agreement before the 24-month term, if it has issued at least $8 million of common shares under the agreement. |
In 2005, the Corporation issued 1,224,719 common shares to the Purchaser for aggregate proceeds of $2,935,000 under the agreements. At December 31, 2005, the Corporation can require the Purchaser to purchase up to $12,700,000 of common shares over the remaining 21 months of the agreement. |

The Board may from time to time designate individuals to whom options to purchase common shares of the Corporation may be granted, the number of shares to be optioned to each, and the option price per share. The option price per share cannot involve a discount to the market price at the time the option is granted. The total number of shares to be optioned to any one individual cannot exceed 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares, and the maximum number of shares which may be optioned under the Plan cannot exceed 2,500,000 common shares without shareholder approval. Options under the Plan expire ten years after grant and vest either immediately or over periods up to five years. |

8. | Commitments and contingencies (continued): |
(a) | Operating leases (continued): |
In 2005, the Corporation entered into new operating lease agreements for its Canadian and US premises, both of which will expire on August 31, 2010. In connection with these agreements, the Company received lease inducements totaling $48,101. These amounts are being taken into income on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental expense over the term of the lease. At December 31, 2005, the remaining deferred lease inducement was $44,907, of which $9,576 has been classified in current liabilities and $35,331 has been classified as long-term. |
(b) | Contingency: |
During the period ended June 30, 2005, the Corporation received proposed notices of assessments relating to its 2001 and 2002 taxation years from the Canadian taxation authorities reducing the Corporations claim for research and development tax credits in those taxation years by an aggregate of $174,995, of which $63,966 was previously refunded to the Corporation. The remaining credits of $111,029 were non-refundable but available to reduce future federal income taxes payable over the carryforward period to 2011. The non-refundable credits were not previously recognized for financial statement purposes. The Corporation has filed a notice of objection to the assessments with the taxation authorities since it believes it meets the criteria for claiming the tax credits and that the taxation authorities erred in their assessments. The Corporation has not recorded a provision for this matter. |

10. | Earnings per share (continued): |
(a) | Basic and diluted earnings per share (continued): |
Excluded from the above calculations are 1,518,000 stock options which were deemed to be anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares (2004 409,500 options and 293,334 warrants; 2003 1,623,000 options and 453,334 warrants). |
(b) | Stock-based compensation: |
No options were granted by the Corporation in 2005 and 2004. The Corporation recorded total stock-based compensation of $16,220 in 2005 (2004 $16,220), which is included in marketing expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Stock-based compensation in fiscal 2005 relates to the amortization of compensation cost for options granted in 2003 over the vesting periods. |
If the fair value-based accounting method had been used to account for and measure stock-based compensation costs relating to exempt options and warrants issued to employees after January 1, 2002, the net loss and related loss per share figures would be as follows: |
2003 | |||||

Dividend yield was excluded from the calculation, since it is the present policy of the Corporation to retain all earnings to finance operations. |
11. | Financial instruments: |
(a) | Foreign currency risk management: |
Effective January 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted the US dollar as its measurement currency because a substantial portion of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities of its Canadian and US operations are denominated in US dollars. The Canadian operation also has transactions denominated in Canadian dollars, principally relating to salaries and rent. Fluctuations in the currency used for the payment of the Corporations expenses denominated in currencies, other than the US dollar, could cause unanticipated fluctuations in the Corporations operating results. The Corporation does not engage in the use of derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exposures. |
(b) | Fair value disclosure: |
Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time using available information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and often cannot be determined with precision. |

11. | Financial instruments (continued): |
(b) | Fair value disclosure (continued): |
The Corporation has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the long-term receivables cannot be determined because settlement is tied to the redemption of the preferred shares. See note 6. |
(c) | Credit risk: |
Credit risk results from the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the contract. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is maintained with a high-credit quality financial institution. For accounts receivable, the Corporation performs periodic credit evaluations and typically does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk, historical trends, general economic conditions and other information. |
(d) | Interest rate risk: |
The Companys exposure to interest rate risk is as follows: |
Cash | Fixed interest rate |
Notes payable | Floating interest rate |

12. | Canadian/U.S. Reporting Differences (continued): |
(b) | Consolidated shareholders equity (continued): |
(i) | For US GAAP purposes, the Corporation has elected to follow the intrinsic value method of accounting under APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is recognized for the difference between the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date and the amount the individual must pay to acquire the stock. For Canadian purposes, the Corporation uses the fair value method of accounting for stock options granted to employees after January 1, 2004. |
(ii) | In accordance with FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, compensation related to the stock options granted to non-employees prior to January 1, 2002 has been recorded in the accounts based on the fair value of the stock options at the grant date. The fair value of the stock options was estimated as described in note 12 (d) (2). |
(iii) | Change in reporting currency: |
The Corporation adopted the US dollar as its reporting currency effective January 1, 2000. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the financial information for 1999 has been translated into US dollars at the December 31, 1999 exchange rate. For United States GAAP reporting purposes, assets and liabilities for all years presented have been translated into US dollars at the ending exchange rate for the respective year, and the statement of earnings, at the average exchange rate for the respective year. |
(c) | Consolidated comprehensive income: |
FAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires the Corporation to report and display certain information related to comprehensive income for the Corporation. There were no adjustments to the net loss under US GAAP required to reconcile to the comprehensive loss. |

(2) | Stock-based compensation: |
For US GAAP purposes, the Corporation applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for its stock option plan, and, accordingly, no compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted to employees for US GAAP purposes. As explained in note 12 (b), compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted to non-employees. Had compensation cost been determined for stock options granted to employees based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Corporations net earnings and loss per share would have been adjusted to the pro-forma amounts indicated below for US GAAP: |

(d) | Other disclosures required by United States GAAP: |
(2) | Stock-based compensation (continued): |
No stock options were granted in 2005 and 2004. Stock-based compensation under FAS 123 for the years presented above is based on options granted in 2003 as described in note 10 (b). |
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of: 2003 4.27%, dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of: 2003 40%; and expected life of 5 years. |
(e) | Recent accounting pronouncements: |
In 2006, the Company will adopt new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) relating to non-monetary transactions, which require non-monetary transactions to be measured at fair value, subject to certain exceptions. The revised standards are effective for non-monetary transactions initiated in fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006. The CICA has also issued standards relating to Financial Instruments, Hedges, Comprehensive Income and Equity that will be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2007. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued FAS 123R, Share Based Payments, and FAS 154 Accounting Changes and Accounting Corrections. |
The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material effect on its financial statements. |
