RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating SmarTire and its business before purchasing shares of common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

We have issued Convertible Debentures and our obligations under the Convertible Debentures pose risks to the price of our common stock and our continuing operations.

The Convertible Debentures provide that in certain circumstances the holder of the Debentures may convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock, or demand that we repay outstanding amounts with cash. The terms and conditions of the Convertible Debentures pose unique and special risks to our continuing operations and the price of our common stock. Some of those risks are outlined below.

The purchaser of the Convertible Debentures has the option of converting the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Convertible Debentures into shares of our common stock. If the holder converts the Convertible Debentures, there will be dilution of your shares of our common stock.

The conversion of the Convertible Debentures will result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock since the holder may ultimately convert the full amount of the Convertible Debentures and sell all of these shares into the public market.

The following table sets forth the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that would be issuable if the holder of the Debenture converted at the base conversion price of $0.78 and reduced conversion prices of $0.60, $0.50, $0.40, $0.30, $0.20 and $0.10.

Conversion Price	Number of Shares Issuable on Conversion of Convertible Debentures⁽¹⁾	Percentage of Issued and Outstanding⁽²⁾
$0.78	512,820	1.7%
$0.60	666,667	2.2%
$0.50	800,000	2.6%
$0.40	1,000,000	3.3%
$0.30	1,333,334	4.4%
$0.20	2,000,000	6.7%
$0.10	4,000,000	13.5%

(1) Represents the number of shares issuable if all principal amounts of all of the Convertible Debentures were converted at the corresponding conversion price.

(2) Represents the percentage of the total outstanding common stock that the shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Debentures without regard to any contractual or other restriction on the number of securities the selling stockholder may own at any point in time. Based on 29,670,693 shares issued and outstanding on April 14, 2003.

The Convertible Debentures provide for various events of default that would entitle the holder to require us to repay the entire amount in cash immediately or after a short period of time. If an event of default occurs, we may be unable to immediately repay the amount owed, and any repayment may leave us with little or no working capital in our business.

We will be considered in default of the Convertible Debentures if any of the following events, among others, occurs:

(a) we fail to pay any amounts due under the Convertible Debentures within fifteen (15) days of the date of maturity of the Convertible Debentures;

(b) our transfer agent fails to issue shares of our common stock to the holder within ten (10) days of our receipt of a conversion notice from the holder;

(c) we fail to comply with any of the other agreements contained in the Convertible Debenture after we are given ten (10) days notice of such non-compliance;

(d) we become bankrupt or insolvent; or

(e) we breach any of our obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor Registration Rights Agreement, or the Security Purchase Agreement which breaches are not cured by us within ten (10) days after our receipt of written notice of such breach.

If any one of the above defaults occurs and is not cured within ten (10) days, then the holder can elect to:

(a) declare the principal of the Convertible Debentures, plus any accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable;

(b) may protect and enforce its rights or remedies either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, agreement or other provision contained in the Convertible Debentures, in the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with the Convertible Debentures or in any document or instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Convertible Debentures, or to enforce the payment of the outstanding Convertible Debentures or any other legal or equitable right or remedy.

Some of the events of default include matters over which we may have some, little or no control. If an event of default occurs, we may be unable to repay any part or all of the entire amount in cash and the holder could exercise its rights and make a claim against all of our assets subject to the prior security held by TRW Inc. Any such actions would have an adverse effect on our continuing operations.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling stockholder may result in a significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to realize the current trading price of our common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. We had 29,670,693 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 14, 2003. When the registration statement which we are required to file in connection with the Convertible Debenture financing is declared effective, the selling stockholder may be reselling up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock, only 2,145,089 of which are included in our issued and outstanding common shares as of April 14, 2003. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be issued and may be available for immediate resale which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

To the extent the selling stockholder converts its Convertible Debentures, then sells its shares of common stock, the price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares of common stock in the market.

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholder converts its Convertible Debentures and sells shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholder or others. Any such short sales could place a further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

All of our assets are secured and consequently, if we default on the Convertible Debentures<R> or on a secured short-term promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000</R>, our continued operation will be adversely affected.

The Convertible Debentures, <R> and a short-term promissory note issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP on April 23, 2003, in the principal amount of $250,000 and due on July 22, 2003, have</R> been secured primarily by all of our assets, subject to the prior security interest granted to TRW Inc. If we default on any of the Convertible Debentures <R>or on the short-term note</R>, and the holder chooses to realize upon and take possession of our assets and business, we may be unable to continue to operate our current business, and as a result you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.

RISK RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND COMPANY

We require immediate financing in order to continue in business as a going concern, the availability of which is uncertain.

We require immediate additional financing to fund our operations and meet our overdue and maturing debt obligation.

In connection with the restructuring of our agreements with TRW Inc. effective August 31, 2001, we agreed to pay consideration of $3.3 million in cash and debt to TRW Inc. Of this amount, $500,000 was paid at closing. The balance of $2.8 million is evidenced by a promissory note dated August 31, 2001, is secured by substantially all of our assets, and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum. We made three principal payments, totaling $1,450,000 in the aggregate, together with accrued interest, under the promissory note during the nine months ended April 30, 2002. On each of October 7, 2002 and December 23, 2002 we paid TRW Inc. $250,000. TRW Inc. granted us an extension to make the balance of the principal payment as follows: $650,000 by October 31, 2002 and $450,000 by December 13, 2002. We failed to make these payments. As a result of subsequent negotiations with TRW Automotive U.S. LLC, as assignee of TRW Inc., we have reached an arrangement whereby if the amount of $850,000 is paid to TRW Automotive by June 1, 2003, in full settlement of the promissory note outstanding, we and our subsidiary, SmarTire (U.S.A.) Inc., will be released and discharged from all security granted to TRW in support of the promissory note. We currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay this amount, and our ability to raise sufficient capital to make the payment by June 1, 2003 is uncertain. Since TRW Automotive has security over all of our assets, if we fail to negotiate a payment arrangement or repay TRW Automotive, they may take action to seize our assets, which would adversely effect our ability to continue our business operations.

We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our stockholders. If we fail to raise sufficient financing to meet our immediate cash needs, and we default on our debt obligations to TRW Automotive, TRW Automotive would be in a position to realize upon its security interest in our assets. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business, which may result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.

We are faced with termination of a supply contract with SensoNor, one of our key component suppliers, unless we pay $475,000 or reach a settlement on mutually acceptable terms.

Pursuant to an Application Specific Integrated Sensor Purchase and Supply Contract dated November 1, 2001 with SensoNor asa, a Norwegian company, we have agreed to pay to SensoNor a fee of $500,000 within 60 days of SensoNor issuing an invoice for that amount respecting certain non-recoverable engineering fees. We had the option of paying the $500,000 in our common shares at a

discount price from the market but at no less than $2.00 per share. Subsequent to the date of the ASIS Agreement, we and SensoNor agreed that on certain conditions we would pay $500,000 in cash. On December 13, 2002, SensoNor delivered to us a notice of termination of the ASIS Agreement unless we paid the outstanding amount within 30 days. We subsequently paid SensoNor $25,000 in cash, and the date for payment was extended to February 13, 2003. SensoNor is the supplier of a key component of our products, and that component would be very difficult to source from other suppliers. If we were unable to source this product from another supplier, then we would not be able to produce our tire monitoring system. We are still in negotiations with SensoNor to resolve all outstanding issues, including our proposal to implement a repayment schedule over the period ending December 31, 2003. If our negotiations with SensoNor do not result in a mutually acceptable settlement and we are unable to find an alternate supplier of a comparable component, we will be unable to continue to manufacture our current tire monitoring systems, and will we be unable to proceed with the commercialization of our proposed tire monitoring systems that are currently under development. This could adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations.

We are currently in violation of the Nasdaq listing requirements because of the trading price of our shares of common stock and such violation could result in our shares being delisted from Nasdaq.

We have received a notice from Nasdaq dated November 18, 2002 informing us that the shares of our common stock had traded below $1 per share for 30 consecutive days, in violation of minimum listing standards. As a result, we have 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq notice, or until May 19, 2003 to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the bid price of our common stock must close at $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. If we do not regain compliance, then Nasdaq staff will review whether we meet the initial listing requirements for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. If we meet the initial listing criteria, we will be granted an additional 180 calendar days to demonstrate compliance. Until such time, we will be in violation of the Nasdaq listing requirements. Such violations subject us to delisting from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

We have a history of operating losses and fluctuating operating results, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception through January 31, 2003, we have incurred aggregate losses of $42,316,846. Our loss from operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 was $6,726,454 and for the six-month period ended January 31, 2003 was $3,452,970. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of when customers will order products, the size of customers' orders, the demand for our products, and the level of competition and general economic conditions.

Although we anticipate that revenues will increase, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our products gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales, and/or additional products are developed and commercially released and sales of such products made so that we are operating in a profitable manner. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the additional comments for United States readers to our independent auditors' report on the July 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements, which are included with this prospectus. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

We may experience significant and rapid growth if we are able to capitalize on the expansion of the tire monitoring market. If we are unable to hire and train staff to handle sales and marketing of our products and manage our operations, such growth could materially and adversely affect us.

Assuming that we can raise further significant financing, we intend to proceed with initiatives intended to capitalize on the expansion of the tire monitoring market that is occurring as a result of the enactment by the United States Government of the Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation Act of 2000, commonly known as the TREAD Act. This could potentially lead to significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. Any inability on our part to manage such growth effectively will have a material adverse effect on our product development, business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to manage and sustain growth effectively will depend, in part, on the ability of our management to implement appropriate

management, operational and financial systems and controls, and the ability of our management to successfully hire, train, motivate and manage employees.

Rapid technological changes in our industry could render our products non-competitive or obsolete and consequently affect our ability to generate revenues.

The markets in which we operate are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions, evolving industry standards and changes in customer demands. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can, in a relatively short period of time, render existing products obsolete and unmarketable, including ours. We believe that our success will depend upon our ability to continuously develop new products and to enhance our current products and introduce them promptly into the market. If we are not able to develop and introduce new products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We do not carry comprehensive product liability insurance providing coverage in all instances, and there can be no assurance that our existing insurance coverage would be adequate in term and scope to protect us against material financial effects in the event of a successful claim.

We could be subject to claims in connection with the products that we sell.

THE OFFERING

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling stockholder named in this prospectus. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the common stock will go to the selling stockholder and we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholder. We will, however, incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

All of the 3,946,154 shares of common stock being registered under this registration statement are being offered by the selling stockholder, Cornell Capital Partners, LP, with an address at 101 Hudson Street, Suite 3606, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07302.

The selling stockholder may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of its common stock. Because the selling stockholder may offer all or only some portion of the 3,946,154 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of the offering.

The selling stockholder does not have any material relationship with our company. The selling stockholder is not a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer to our knowledge.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder as of April 14, 2003, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholder.

On March 20, 2003, in response to a conversion notice dated March 14, 2003, we issued an additional 1,953,125 shares of our common stock to the selling stockholder upon conversion of $125,00 in principal payable under the Convertible Debentures. We issued these shares at a conversion price of $0.064 per share, relying on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

We may require the selling security holder to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be quoted (currently the Nasdaq SmallCap Market), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such sales may be at fixed prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholder by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

(a) block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

(b) purchases by broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

(d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

(e) privately negotiated transactions;

(f) market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws);

(g) at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares;

(h) through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and

(i) a combination of any aforementioned methods of sale.

In the event of the transfer by the selling stockholder of its shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this

prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his or her shares.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfil the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above.

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholder in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

From time to time, the selling stockholder may pledge its shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholder intends to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event the selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed, disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.

We and the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholder, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On November 21, 2002, we closed the first tranche of a two-tranche private placement of 5% Senior Subordinated Redeemable Convertible Debentures to the selling stockholder pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, for gross

proceeds of $184,000. A single Convertible Debenture having a face principal amount of $200,000 was issued at an 8% discount.

<R>On January 31, 2003, the </R> second tranche <R> under </R> the private placement <R> was closed for the proceeds of $184,000 ($158,000 net of offering expenses). It also involved </R> the sale of a Convertible Debenture having a face principal amount of $200,000, <R> and was </R>issued at an 8% discount.

As described more fully below, the conversion price under the Convertible Debentures shall be equal to the lesser of a base conversion price of $0.78 and 80% of the lowest closing bid price for our shares of common stock during the five trading dates immediately preceding the conversion date. For United States accounting purposes, we will recognize two discounts - one for the 8% discount from the face principal amount of the Convertible Debentures and a second discount for the beneficial conversion option (described below) for the selling stockholder to convert the Convertible Debentures into common shares at 80% of the lowest closing bid price during the five trading dates immediately preceding the conversion date. These discounts will be amortized over the period to their fixed maturity date.

Interest and Maturity

The Convertible Debentures bear interest on the outstanding principal amount until the Convertible Debentures are paid in full at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the Convertible Debentures is payable on maturity in cash or in shares of our common stock, at our option, computed based upon the closing bid price at the time of such payment unless we default on the Convertible Debentures, then the holder can demand that we pay the interest in cash.

All principal and interest on the Convertible Debentures shall be due on November 21, 2004.

Conversion Provisions and Conversion Price

The holder, at its option, may convert, at any time prior to the maturity of the Convertible Debentures, all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures and the interest thereon into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at the conversion price in effect at the date of conversion. In addition, the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Convertible Debenture will be automatically converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at maturity, unless we determine, in our sole discretion, to pay out the Convertible Debenture in cash on the maturity date.

The conversion price shall equal the lesser of a base conversion price of $0.78 and 80% of the lowest closing bid price for our shares of common stock during the five trading dates immediately preceding the conversion date.

Redemption Right

We may redeem any or all of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Convertible Debenture at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (a) 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, and (b) the accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount. However, the holder of the Convertible Debenture may, at any time following receipt of our redemption notice, elect to convert the Convertible Debenture if the closing bid price of our common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date is greater than $0.65 per share.

If we exercise our redemption right under the Convertible Debenture:

(a) the debenture holder will receive for every $100,000 invested, 10,000 common share warrants, each entitling the holder to purchase one common share of our company at an exercise price of $0.78 per share until November 21, 2004; and

(b) the debenture holder will be entitled to "piggy-back" registration rights in respect of the shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.

Registration Rights

In connection with the offering of the Convertible Debentures, we have agreed to file this registration statement for the purpose of registering the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures for resale. If the registration statement is not filed on or before December 21, 2002, or is not declared effective on or before February 19, 2003, we are required pay to the debenture holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a cash amount equal to 2% of the outstanding principal and interest under the holder's debentures for each month that the registration statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be.

Events of Default

We will be considered in default of the Convertible Debenture if any of the following, among others, occurs:

we fail to pay the amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures within 15 days of November 21, 2004;
we fail to issue shares to the holder within 10 days of the receipt of a notice of conversion by us from the holder; or
we fail, after 10 days notice from the holder, to comply with the terms of the Convertible Debenture, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor Registration Rights Agreement or the Security Agreement.

If any one of the above defaults occurs, the principal of the Convertible Debentures, plus accrued interest, will be immediately due and payable.

Security Granted in Connection with Issuance of Convertible Debentures

As collateral security for the payment and satisfaction of all of our obligations under the Convertible Debentures, we granted a continuing security interest in and to all of our assets (which we now own or which we acquire in the future) to the holder of the Convertible Debenture. The assets included all accounts, accounts receivable, contracts, notes, bills, inventory, machinery, equipment, supplies, furniture, furnishings, fixtures, corporate or business records, inventions, designs, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark registrations and applications, goodwill, trade names, trade secrets, trade processes, copyrights, copyright registrations and applications, licenses, permits, franchises, customer lists, computer programs, all claims under guaranties and tax refund claims. Such security interest has been subordinated to the security interest previously granted by us to TRW Inc. in all of our present and after-acquired personal property, assets and undertaking.

On December 4, 2002, we issued 446,154 shares of our common stock to selling stockholder in its capacity as the lender under an Equity Line of Credit Agreement dated November 21, 2002. We issued these shares at a deemed price of $0.65 per share, in payment of a commitment fee, relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than as set forth below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

On November 14, 2002, one of our former sales representatives, Concentric Marketing Inc., commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 02-74553) against our company and our subsidiary, SmarTire USA Inc.

The representative has asserted a variety of claims against our company, including that he was the procuring cause of one or more customer relationships for which he was not paid a commission. We believe that we have meritorious defences to each of the claims made by the sales representative. At the time of this registration statement, the matter has not proceeded to trial, the outcome is uncertain and the potential liability, if any, cannot be quantified.

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of SmarTire, other than the conversion of our outstanding Convertible Debentures in certain circumstances.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock without par value, and 20,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of CDN$1,000 per share. As of April 14, 2003, there are 29,670,693 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.

Each stockholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of

directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of SmarTire, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Stockholders do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock if issued by us. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock.

Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". "Penny stock" is defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For the foreseeable future, our common stock will most likely continue to be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standarized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholder was passed upon by the law firm of Clark, Wilson, British Columbia, Canada.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Under our Bylaw, subject to the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory) and subject to court approval in certain circumstances, we must indemnify:

(a) each of our current or former directors and officers,

(b) any person who acts or has acted at our request as a director or officer of a corporation of which we are or were a shareholder or creditor, and

against all costs, charges and expenses, including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of serving or having served as a director or officer of our company or such corporation, if: (i) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of our company; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing his or her conduct was lawful.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Overview

We are engaged in developing and marketing technically advanced tire monitoring systems designed for improved vehicle safety, performance, reliability and fuel efficiency. We currently earn revenues primarily from the sale of tire monitoring systems for passenger cars. Our corporate offices are located at #150 - 13151 Vanier Place, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, V6V 2J1. Our telephone number is (604) 276-9884.

We carry on business directly and through our three wholly owned subsidiaries: SmarTire USA Inc., SmarTire (Europe) Limited and SmarTire Technologies Inc. SmarTire Technologies Inc., formerly Delta Transportation Products Ltd., was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on August 27, 1987, and is the original developer of our patented technology. SmarTire USA Inc. was

incorporated under the laws of Delaware in May of 1997 as the exclusive marketing agency for our company in North America. SmarTire (Europe) Limited was incorporated in the United Kingdom on February 25, 1998 as our exclusive sales and distribution operation for Europe. SmarTire (Europe)'s head office is located at Park 34, Southmead Industrial Park, Didcot, Oxfordshire, England, OX11 7WB.

We are a "foreign private issuer", as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, we have elected to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the same reports that a domestic registrant would be required to file under section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Corporate History

We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia as TTC/Truck Tech Corp. on September 8, 1987. We were formed to develop and market remote data sensing, transmission and processing products incorporating patented technologies to satisfy emerging market requirements in the transportation industry.

Our company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory) effective February 6, 2003. As a result, our Memorandum and Articles which constituted our constating documents while we were a British Columbia company have been superseded and replaced by Articles of Continuance filed with the Yukon Registrar of Corporations under section 190 of the Business Corporations Act (Yukon Territory) and By-law No. 1, being a by-law adopted by our board of directors relating generally to the transaction of the business and affairs of our company. Our continuance as a Yukon corporation was approved by special resolution adopted by our shareholders at the annual general meeting held on December 12, 2002.

On July 29, 1988, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Delta Transportation Products Ltd., and subsequently caused it to change its name to SmarTire Technologies Inc. effective June 3, 1998. Our initial product, based on technology developed by Delta Transportation Products Ltd., consisted of a wireless tire pressure monitoring system designed for large ore hauling trucks and wheeled loaders that are utilized in the mining industry.

We completed our initial public offering on the Vancouver Stock Exchange (now the TSX Venture Exchange) on September 11, 1989. On April 13, 1995, we changed our name to UniComm Signal Inc. On December 24, 1997, we changed our name to SmarTire Systems Inc. and effected a reverse stock split pursuant to which our common stock was consolidated on a 1 for 8 basis. On December 16, 1998, our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. On March 12, 1999, we voluntarily delisted our common stock from trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

On December 6, 1996, we acquired the Low Tire Pressure Warning Division of EPIC Technologies, Inc. of Norwalk, Ohio. The assets that we acquired from EPIC included specialized testing equipment, patents and certain contractual rights, including the rights under a production program that EPIC had established with Ford Motor Company. Under that production program, the Low Tire Pressure Warning System that we acquired from EPIC was offered by Ford as an option on Lincoln Continentals until the end of December 2001.

Our acquisition of EPIC's Low Tire Pressure Warning Division accelerated our entry into the passenger car market. Recognizing the emerging demand for tire monitoring products in passenger cars and light trucks, we modified the new car version of the technology that we had acquired from EPIC for use in existing vehicles. This product was launched into the automotive aftermarket in June 1997 to support the market introduction of run-flat tires. Automotive aftermarket products are essentially sold as optional add-on products for automobiles, and are produced by third-party suppliers such as our company. The aftermarket consists of retailers, including tire retailers, automotive electronic stores and accessory shops, which sell products directly to consumers. Aftermarket products are distinguishable from original equipment manufacturer - or so-called "OEM" - products which are sold as options offered directly by or through the manufacturer of the automobile. Original equipment manufacturer products may be produced by third party suppliers as well, but are sold to automobile manufacturers rather than to end-users. The Low Tire Pressure Warning System that we supplied to Ford for use on Lincoln Continentals is an example of an original equipment manufacturer product.

Goodyear, Michelin and Bridgestone/Firestone approved the Company's first generation tire monitoring system for sale with run-flat or extended mobility tires. Run-flat tires allow drivers to drive up to 50 miles on a tire that has lost all of its air pressure. These tires perform so well without any air pressure that an approved tire monitoring system is required with the purchase of each set. Otherwise the operator may unknowingly drive on the tire until it fails or is no longer repairable. Tire monitoring systems for both run-flat and conventional tires are distributed as aftermarket products primarily through independent tire dealers and distributors and automobile service centers.

Our acquisition of EPIC's Low Tire Pressure Warning Division also facilitated our entry into the motorsport market. Originally developed by EPIC and Penske Racing, our motorsport tire monitoring system is distributed exclusively by Pi Research of Cambridge, England. It is widely used by Indy racing teams. We do not anticipate further sales of the current version of our motorsport tire monitoring system to Pi Research as they now manufacture this product themselves.

On April 20, 1998, we established a strategic alliance with TRW Inc., a large U.S.-based automotive parts supplier. The strategic alliance was founded on four agreements between the parties: an Equity Agreement, a Cooperation Engineering Agreement, an Original Equipment Manufacturer License Agreement and a Manufacturing Agreement. The agreements provided for joint engineering and development activities between the parties, and TRW was granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights for some of the Company's products. In addition, TRW had exclusive rights in the original equipment market for any tire monitoring products that it developed jointly with us, and we had exclusive rights in the automotive aftermarket.

Effective August 31, 2001, we restructured our strategic alliance with TRW. As a result of the restructuring, most of the agreements that we had entered into with TRW in 1998 were cancelled; however, TRW retained its equity position in our company. By ending our collaboration with TRW in product development, and by providing that neither we nor TRW will have exclusive rights to any products, the restructuring effectively provided us with immediate access to all levels of the global automotive and transportation industries.

During May 2002 we entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Visteon Corporation to develop and market tire monitoring solutions for the original equipment manufacturers market. Visteon is a global supplier of products to the automotive industry whose shares are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Our Memorandum of Understanding matured into a formal agreement dated December 10, 2002 which contemplates collaboration between our company and Visteon to develop and market more advanced tire monitoring systems for passenger vehicles and light trucks, and to jointly explore other opportunities for tire monitoring products such as the commercial vehicle market. Under the agreement, we have also granted Visteon rights to manufacture some of our products.

On September 24, 2002, we and Pirelli Pneumatici signed a Supply Agreement for tire monitoring systems that measure pressure and temperature of car, truck and motorcycle tires. The tire monitoring systems are produced and tested by our company, and will be marketed and sold by Pirelli under the name X-Pressure^TM. The systems will go on sale by the end of 2002 through Pirelli's tire distribution channels in Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain and Switzerland. During October 2002, we made our first shipment to Pirelli under the Supply Agreement.

In December 2002, we entered into an eight-year supply commitment letter for tire pressure monitoring systems to be offered as part of the original equipment manufacturer package on certain vehicles produced by Aston Martin. We are committed to supply the systems in response to purchase orders submitted by Aston Martin from time to time.

We completed the development and launch of our second-generation tire pressure monitoring system for the passenger car and light truck market during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, and launched a tire pressure monitoring system for motorcycles during the quarter ended October 31, 2002. We are also continuing the development of systems for the commercial, industrial and recreational vehicle markets. We anticipate that systems for these markets will be ready for sale in fiscal 2003.

On February 6, 2003, we signed an agreement with Hyundai Autonet Company, Ltd., an established Korean automotive electronics supplier. Under this Agreement, we and Hyundai Autonet will co-develop, manufacture and distribute tire monitoring

products to Hyundai Autonet original equipment vehicle manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket in Korea. The agreement includes a US$300,000 contribution from Hyundai Autonet for engineering changes to modify our products for the Korean market and the development of technology required to meet specific needs of the Korean marketplace. We expect to receive an ongoing revenue stream through the sales of proprietary components to Hyundai Autonet beginning in early 2004.

Government Regulations

Our products are subject to regulation by the government agencies responsible for radio frequencies in each country that our tire pressure monitoring systems will be sold. For example, in the United States approval must be received from the Federal Communications Commission for each product. Some countries require additional governmental approvals in certain circumstances. For example, in the United Kingdom, all electronic equipment to be installed in emergency and police vehicles must be approved by the Vehicle Installation Development Group, a governmental body. And, as a practical matter, certain non-governmental approvals may be necessary for market acceptance of our products in certain countries. For example, the approval of TÜV (an independent testing company) is considered necessary to market our tire pressure monitoring system in Germany.

We believe that we have all of the necessary governmental approvals for our current tire pressure monitoring systems in our intended market countries. As each new tire pressure monitoring product is introduced to the market, we intend to apply for the necessary approvals.

In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001, the United States Government enacted the Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation Act of 2000, which is commonly known as the TREAD Act. The TREAD Act was implemented to address perceived safety concerns resulting from poor tire maintenance, tread separation and tire blowouts. The TREAD Act, among other things, requires that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration develop rules and regulations which require all new passenger cars, light trucks and multipurpose passenger vans sold after November 1, 2003 to have tire monitoring systems installed as standard equipment. The tire monitoring systems must be capable of warning drivers if a tire is significantly under-inflated. The regulation was to be finalized in November 2001 for implementation in 2003.

In July 2001, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published and circulated a Notice of Proposed Rule Making which included provisions related to the tire monitoring requirements of the TREAD Act. The Notice of Proposed Rule Making outlined the parameters of systems that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would consider compliant with the legislation and the proposed periods for complying with the regulations. Two forms of tire monitoring technologies were to be considered:

1) Direct tire monitoring technologies are based on dedicated sensor / transmitters located within the cavity of the tire that are usually mounted on the wheel. The transmitter monitors and measures contained air pressure and temperature within each tire and transmits this information to a receiver located in or around the instrument panel of the vehicle. Our products are an example of a direct system.

2) Indirect tire monitoring technologies typically work with the vehicle's anti-lock brake system. Most indirect tire pressure monitoring systems compare each wheel's rotational speed with the rotational speed of other wheels. If one tire becomes significantly under-inflated while the others remain at proper pressure, the indirect system eventually detects the problem because that wheel's rotational speed is on average slightly higher than that of other wheels.

In the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concluded that direct measurement systems have major advantages over indirect systems as they:

actually measure the pressure in each tire and can detect when any tire or combination of tires is under-inflated, including when all tires are under-inflated,
operate while the vehicle is stationary,

are highly accurate and can detect small pressure losses, some even as low as 1 pound per square inch,
provide full time monitoring even when the vehicle is driven on bumpy roads, has mismatched tires or has a tire out of balance or alignment,
do not need substantial time to calibrate the system and reduce the very real possibility for human error, and
can tell the operator which tire is under-inflated.

On May 31, 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued part one of a two-part final ruling. Part one establishes a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that requires tire pressure monitoring systems be installed in passenger vehicles and light trucks to warn the driver when a tire is below specified pressure levels. During the first year of the implementation schedule, beginning November 1, 2003, at least 10% of each auto manufacturer's total production must be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems. This requirement increases to 35% during the second year, 65% by the third and 100% after October 31, 2006.

There are two compliance options that will apply during the period from November 1, 2003 to October 31, 2006. Under the first compliance option, a vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system must alert the driver if one or more tires, up to four tires, is 25% or more under-inflated. Under the second compliance option, a vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system must alert the driver if any of the vehicle's tires is 30% or more under-inflated. The second compliance option was adopted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because indirect tire pressure monitoring systems are currently not capable of meeting the stricter four-tire, 25% requirement under the first compliance option, and it was deemed appropriate to permit manufacturers to continue to use current indirect tire pressure monitoring systems while they work to improve those systems.

Our direct measurement tire pressure monitoring system products meet the higher standards of the first compliance option. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it will be closely monitoring the performance of indirect measurement tire pressure monitoring systems under the second compliance option. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to issue the second part of its final ruling on or before March 1, 2005, stating whether indirect tire pressure monitoring systems based on anti-lock brake systems can continue to be used after October 31, 2006.

With tire pressure monitoring system compliance standards and specifications now defined, our company's management believes that auto manufacturers must proceed with the granting of supply contracts in order to achieve the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration implementation schedule. We, together with our strategic partners such as Visteon, have developed a joint marketing program designed to exploit the significant product demand that is anticipated to be created by this ruling.

Although the superior performance of direct measurement tire pressure monitoring systems may give our products certain marketing advantages, indirect measurement tire pressure monitoring systems will likely benefit from the fact that they are the least expensive way of complying with the tire pressure monitoring system standard for vehicles already equipped with anti-lock brake systems. Moreover, it is likely that the performance of indirect measurement tire pressure monitoring systems will continue to improve, although it remains unclear whether they will improve to the point where they would be capable of meeting the standards of the first compliance option specified in part one of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's two-part final ruling.

Strategic Relationships

Our strategy includes the establishment of alliances to assist in the development and marketing of its products and technologies. Key strategic alliances include:

(a) Visteon Corporation

Pursuant to an Agreement dated December 10, 2002, we have agreed to collaborate with Visteon to develop and market more advanced tire monitoring systems for passenger vehicles and light trucks, and to jointly explore other opportunities for tire monitoring products.

(b) SensoNor ASA

In 1998, we, TRW and SensoNor developed an Application Specific Integrated Sensor for use in tire pressure monitoring systems. On December 15, 1999, we entered into a development and supply agreement with SensoNor, relating in part to the development of an Application Specific Integrated Sensor for commercial vehicle tire monitoring applications. SensoNor, based in Horten, Norway, is a producer of sensors for automotive applications.

We and SensoNor subsequently entered into an Application Specific Integrated Sensor Purchase and Supply Contract dated November 1, 2001, pursuant to which we agreed to pay to SensoNor a fee of $500,000 within 60 days of SensoNor issuing an invoice for that amount respecting certain non-recoverable engineering fees. We had the option of paying the $500,000 in our common shares at a discount price from the market but at no less than $2.00 per share. Subsequent to the date of the ASIS Agreement, we and SensoNor agreed that on certain conditions we would pay $500,000 in cash. On December 13, 2002, SensoNor delivered to us a notice of termination of the ASIS Agreement unless we paid the outstanding amount within 30 days. We subsequently paid SensoNor $25,000 in cash, and are in negotiations to resolve all outstanding issues, including our proposal to implement a repayment schedule over the period ended July 15, 2003. SensoNor supplies a key component of our products, and that component would be very difficult to source from other suppliers. If we were unable to source this product from another supplier, then we would not be able to produce our tire monitoring system. If our negotiations with SensoNor do not result in a mutually acceptable settlement and we are unable to find an alternate supplier of a comparable component, we will be unable to continue to manufacture our current tire monitoring systems, and will we be unable to proceed with the commercialization of our proposed tire monitoring systems that are currently under development.

On December 10, 1999, we entered into an agreement to develop valve stem designs and tire monitoring electronic packaging for new market applications and new tire monitoring technologies with Alligator Ventilfabrik GmbH. Based in Giengen, Germany, Alligator Ventilfabrik GmbH is a producer of valve stems that allow the attachment of tire monitoring sensors inside the tire.

(d) Transense Technologies plc

On December 2, 1999, we entered into a licensing agreement with Transense Technologies of Oxfordshire, England, pursuant to which we were granted a non-exclusive, worldwide right to develop and market Transense's Surface Acoustic Wave technology for use in tire monitoring. Transense researches, develops and markets the use of its patented technology in the automotive industry.

Product Development

Our technology provides drivers with real time information regarding tire pressure and temperature changes. This information provides the consumer and commercial markets with improved vehicle safety, performance and fuel economy. Our products have been engineered and designed for universal application. The sensor / transmitter can be installed on virtually any tire and wheel combination. Each sensor / transmitter contains a custom Application Specific Integrated Sensor, and a receiver unit mounted in the vehicle provides an alarm indication with optional digital readout.

The custom Application Specific Integrated Sensor forms a single micro-electronic package containing pressure and temperature sensing elements and a digital logic state machine that functions as the brains of the sensor / transmitter. This chip is robust in design,

optimizes battery life and provides various modes of sensing and communicating, which ensure faster transmission of data when problems occur. Packaged on a miniaturized circuit board with the Application Specific Integrated Sensor are various components and our radio frequency technology. The radio frequency technology transmits the data through the exterior of the tire and wheel.

Our company's products feature transmitter options providing different installation choices for various automotive applications. A strap-mounted transmitter attached to the wheel offers the most universal installation for a wide range of tire and wheel assemblies. A valve mounted transmitter attached to the base of the valve offers an adjustable, secure in-tire installation for specific wheel / rim profiles. Once installed, the sensor / transmitters do not require ongoing maintenance. The sensor / transmitters are coupled with modular options for in-vehicle display. We have developed three display options for the aftermarket (basic, integrated full function and remote full function) as well as telltale lights, switch blanks and digital displays for original equipment and port of entry applications.

We have recently developed original equipment manufacturer passenger car solutions to support the high level of demand that the our management anticipates from potential customers in this market sector. The original equipment manufacturer transmitter features a 50% size and weight reduction over our current second-generation transmitter, as well as innovative new mounting options including bonding directly to the rim as well as a more innovative valve mount approach. Product costs have been reduced to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer price targets in high volume. We are targeting introduction of these products into the original equipment manufacturer market during the 2004 fiscal year. We are currently marketing our existing products to smaller original equipment manufacturers.

We have also developed and are currently marketing a motorcycle system solution. This solution features a weather resistant receiver, strap mounted transmitters and a dual light warning display. All testing has successfully been completed.

We are currently field testing a second-generation commercial vehicle tire monitoring system using a new high-pressure transmitter. The new commercial vehicle product is designed to handle tire pressure up to 150 pounds per square inch and is being designed for use on all trucks including Class 8 tractor-trailers. This high-pressure transmitter can also be used in recreational vehicle and motor home applications as well as in off-the-road heavy industrial applications. We are targeting completion of the commercial vehicle system and its introduction into the market during the 2003 fiscal year.

We are also focusing on accelerating development of tire pressure monitoring system sensors that do not require batteries.

Marketing

Our subsidiaries, SmarTire USA and SmarTire (Europe), were established to market our products. SmarTire USA and SmarTire (Europe) were initially mandated to establish a distribution network for the automotive aftermarket. Another objective of establishing this network has been to train and certify dealers and retailers to install our products in vehicles.

As a result of the enactment of the TREAD Act and the restructuring of our strategic alliance with TRW, we have substantially changed our marketing strategy. We expect that, as tire monitoring becomes standard equipment for new passenger vehicles in the United States over the next few years, demand for tire monitoring systems as dealer installed options and aftermarket products will eventually decline. Our company's current strategy involves generating short-term revenue from products available to meet today's after market demand combined with the pursuit of original equipment manufacturer business.

With the implementation of the TREAD Act, we expect that demand for tire monitoring technology will be initiated by the big three United States automakers: General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and Ford. Some European automotive groups have already used tire monitoring as a means to add value and differentiate models. Due to the large volume of import vehicles to the United States, it is expected that the thirty different automakers in Europe plus the twelve from Asia will meet the TREAD Act requirements for North

America. Adding tire monitoring to domestic European and Asian vehicles would trigger a much larger demand for tire monitoring than was anticipated prior to introduction of the TREAD Act.

Our marketing strategy will be to focus on sales for original equipment applications. In approaching the original equipment manufacturer market, we expect to position our company to be a key subcomponent supplier. We will pursue two levels of entry. The first will be the original equipment manufacturers themselves, while the second will be in conjunction with Visteon Corporation, a Tier One supplier of automotive parts. Tier One suppliers produce systems and subsystems for original equipment manufacturers. Given that there are already radio frequency based systems either on or available to most new car platforms, we do not expect to be competitive in placing receivers in new vehicles. However, we expect to capitalize on our sensor and radio frequency expertise to supply transmitters to original equipment manufacturers through our alliance with Visteon. We also hope to secure contracts with certain automobile manufacturers to provide fully-integrated tire monitoring solutions for selected automobile platforms.

While we expect that the greatest demand for tire monitoring in the United States will be at the original equipment manufacturer level for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, we will continue to market our products through installation at either the new car dealer or port-of-entry level. We refer to this opportunity as car accessory programs or motorcycle accessory programs. car accessory programs and motorcycle accessory programs may be used to provide an original equipment manufacturer quality product that is not installed at the factory. car accessory programs and motorcycle accessory programs opportunities also exist in Europe due to the number and diversity of automakers. We expect that car accessory programs and motorcycle accessory programs will provide a longer-term opportunity in Europe.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001 we completed development of its second-generation products and released its line of products for sale into the aftermarket. In September 2002, we introduced our motorcycle tire monitoring system for sale into the aftermarket. The aftermarket opportunity currently consists of a niche market in the enthusiast and performance vehicle segment. To access this niche, we have worked to establish a wholesale distribution network in Europe, while in North America we have sought to work directly with major retail distributors.

Competition

As a whole, the tire monitoring industry is still in its early stages. There have been very few products available in the market. Tire monitoring products can generally be divided among two basic types, direct technology and indirect monitoring technologies. As described in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's report discussed in the "Government Regulations" section, direct tire monitoring, such as our company's products, currently provide substantial advantages over indirect monitoring technology. However, several of our competitors and potential competitors have long and established relationships with automobile manufacturers and original equipment manufacturer suppliers, which may make it difficult for us to compete in the original equipment manufacturer market. Additionally, automobile manufacturers may elect to develop their own systems to comply with the TREAD Act.

Our main competitors with respect to direct tire monitoring systems include the following:

Schrader Bridgeport, claims to be the world's largest producer of tire valves and tire-pressure measurement equipment with over $140 million in annual sales. The tire monitoring system developed by Schrader has been used on Chevrolet Corvettes since 1996. The Schrader tire monitoring system is also used on the Plymouth Prowler. The product is being aggressively marketed at the original equipment manufacturer level. As a transmitter supplier, Schrader has teamed with receiver suppliers to recently win new tire monitoring original equipment manufacturer contracts. In the aftermarket, Schrader has joined with Johnson Controls in the launch of their PSI-branded product.
German based BERU has acquired Doduco and its tire monitoring technology. That company is presently working with and approved by a consortium of five German vehicle manufacturers. To our knowledge, the system requires the use of transmitters attached to the valve stem (inside the tire / wheel assembly), receiving antennas at each of the wheel wells, wiring harness for conveying data to the receiver and some form of in-dash display. This system has been developed for the original equipment manufacturer market only.

Pacific Industrial Co. Ltd., a Japanese company, has developed a product that measures the air pressure in each tire and sends the data to a receiver mounted inside a vehicle. The products are available on a few Asian vehicles and, to date, are not commercially available in North America. We believe that the Pacific products resemble the BERU approach to tire monitoring with additional antennas and wiring harnesses.
TRW is a producer of safety and security systems for the global automotive market. It supplies advanced technology products and services to the aerospace, information systems and automotive markets. From December 1998 to August 2001, we and TRW jointly developed advanced tire monitoring technology and each has access to this technology, which encompasses our current products. During this period, we and TRW jointly developed a common Application Specific Integrated Sensor chip for existing products.
Siemens Automotive merged with Atecs Mannesmann AG to create Siemens Automotive AG, a large supplier of high-tech automotive electronic systems. The combined company's product portfolio focuses on electronic modules and systems including anti-lock brake system and airbag electronics. Siemens Automotive has entered the market, and offers direct tire pressure monitoring systems to original equipment manufacturers.

In addition to the systems mentioned above, we are aware that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also tested two other wireless tire monitoring systems. Cycloid Co. developed one system and Fleet Specialties Co. developed the other. The information obtained from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that both of these systems are still in the prototype stage.

There are several indirect or anti-lock brake systems, either available on the market or in prototype stages. To the knowledge of our company's management, none of these systems currently meet the proposed guidelines set out in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Notice of Proposed Rule Making. Given the substantial advantages of direct monitoring technology, we do not believe that indirect monitoring technology will be a significant competitor in the short term. However, it is likely that the performance of indirect measurement tire pressure monitoring systems will continue to improve, and they will likely benefit from the fact that they are the least expensive way of complying with the tire pressure monitoring system standard for vehicles already equipped with anti-lock braking (anti-lock brake system) systems.

With respect to commercial vehicle tire monitoring systems, the major tire companies have been developing medium truck tires incorporating electronic chips in the sidewall to provide tire tracking information possibly including pressure, temperature and identification. Their disadvantage is their inability to provide real-time, dynamic values to the driver, which eliminates any early warning capability while operating the vehicle.

Further, it seems that currently there are no additional functions that can be programmed into these static systems, limiting their integration into other fleet management programs.

There are a number of companies that are marketing tire inflation systems into the commercial trailer market. While these systems do not provide tire monitoring information to the driver, they utilize the air lines in the trailer to supply air pressure to a tire that is experiencing an air loss. This allows the driver to continue to operate the vehicle. This system is not available on the tractor or truck unit itself.

One potential future development that could affect the market for both passenger car and commercial vehicle tire monitoring is the development of a "smart chip". This is a computer chip that could transmit data and would be manufactured into tires. We believe that Goodyear and Bridgestone / Firestone have both completed some development of such a computer chip.

Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers

We contract the manufacture of our products to third parties. These manufacturers normally provide turnkey operations whereby the manufacturer is responsible for purchasing the component parts for our tire monitoring systems. We also purchase component parts on our own account for engineering and prototype development purposes. Certain of the components and raw materials used in our products are difficult to obtain and/or require purchase commitments far in advance of the manufacturing date. At present, our relationships with our current suppliers are generally good and we expects that the suppliers will be able to meet the anticipated demands for our products through fiscal year 2004.

Dependence on Certain Customers

Due to the early stage development of the market for tire monitoring systems in general and for our company's tire monitoring products, we are still dependent on major customers. During the year ended July 31, 2002 we earned 33% of its revenue from two major customers. We expect that this dependence will be reduced as we start to realize sales through our relationships with new customers and through our strategic alliances, including Visteon Corporation.

Proprietary Protection

Our intellectual property is important to protecting our competitive advantage and expanding our market share. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property.

We hold several patents for its current technologies, which are listed below:

United States Patent 5,231,872 addresses the technology in the tire monitoring product. It was issued on August 3, 1993 and expires August 3, 2010.
United States Patent 5,285,189 addresses the technology in the abnormal tire condition warning system. It was issued on February 8, 1994 and expires February 8, 2011. We purchased this patent from EPIC Technologies, Inc. in December 1996.
United States Patent 5,335,540 addresses the technology in the tire monitoring product. It was issued on August 9, 1994 and expires August 9, 2011.
United States Patent 5,559,484 addresses certain technology in a data logging tire monitor with condition predictive capabilities and integrity checking. It was issued on September 24, 1996 and expires September 24, 2013. We purchased this patent from EPIC Technologies, Inc. in December 1996.
United States Patent 5,945,908 addresses certain other technology in a data logging tire monitor with condition predictive capabilities and integrity checking. It was issued on August 31, 1999 and expires on August 31, 2016. We purchased this patent from EPIC Technologies, Inc. in December 1996.
United States Patent 4,653,445 addresses the technology in an Engine Protection System product. It was issued on March 31, 1987 and expires March 31, 2004.
United States Patent 6,357,883 addresses the technology for a wheel component with a cavity for mounting a housing for measurement apparatus. It was issued on March 19, 2002 and expires March 19, 2019.

In addition to our patents, we also have access to a number of other patents under its license agreements with Transense.

We entered into a license agreement on September 30, 1999 with Transense based in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Transense researches, develops and exploits the use of its patented Surface Acoustic Wave technology in the automotive industry. The license agreement grants SmarTire a non-exclusive, worldwide right to develop and market Transense's Surface Acoustic Wave technology for use in tire monitoring systems.

As discussed elsewhere in this registration statement we restructured our strategic alliance with TRW effective August 31, 2001. As part of the restructuring, we received a royalty-free license from TRW to utilize technology developed during the term of the Cooperative Engineering Agreement that is patented, now or in the future, by TRW. We have granted a parallel royalty-free license to TRW.

The technology covered by one of the patents that we have licensed from TRW is used in our current and proposed tire monitoring systems. A clause of the license agreement states that our license shall automatically terminate if we breach any of our obligations under certain other agreements, including our promissory note to TRW Inc. dated August 31, 2001. As a result of subsequent negotiations with TRW Automotive U.S. LLC, as assignee of TRW Inc., we have reached an arrangement whereby if the amount of $850,000 is paid to TRW's successor by June 1, 2003, in full settlement of the promissory note outstanding, we and our subsidiary, SmarTire USA Inc. will be released and discharged from all security granted to TRW in support of the promissory note. We currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay this amount, and our ability to raise sufficient capital to make the payment by June 1, 2003 is uncertain. If we are not able to pay the $850,000 by June 1, 2003, then our license would automatically terminate and we will be unable to continue to manufacture our current tire monitoring systems, and will we be unable to proceed with the commercialization of our proposed tire monitoring systems that are currently under development. Accordingly, we are continuing to negotiate with TRW Automotive with the view to securing more favourable terms.

Research and Development

The following is the amount spent during each of the last three fiscal years on research and development activities:

2002 - $1,727,606

2001 - $1,485,874

2000 - $1,416,992

These amounts have funded the development of our second generation products. We expect that the historical research and development expenses are indicative of the anticipated future annual expenditures and are expected to continue to increase in order to integrate current products into systems satisfying the TREAD Act requirements and complete development of the our other products currently in development.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-time Employees

At April 14, 2003, we had 37 full-time employees, 7 of whom are in marketing, 19 of whom are in engineering, research and development and 11 of whom are administrative and executive personnel. There is no collective bargaining agreement in place.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the financial years ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the six months ended January 31, 2003, should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements and the unaudited interim financial statements included in this registration statement, and, in each case, the notes thereto. It should also be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended January 31, 2002, which were included in our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2002.

Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended January 31, 2003 and January 31, 2002

Revenue

Gross revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2003 decreased to $544,351 from $545,294 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. This slight decrease in revenue was a result of the following:

Sales of aftermarket passenger car systems increased to $416,503 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $400,137 for the six months ended January 31, 2002.

Sales of original equipment manufacturer passenger car systems decreased to $68,180 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $107,774 for the six months ended January 31, 2002 as sales under the Lincoln Continental program of the Company's first generation product were discontinued by Ford Motor Company at the end of December 31, 2001. Without the sales of $43,833 under the Lincoln Continental program for the six months ended January 31, 2002, sales for this period would have been $63,941.

Sales of off-the-road tire monitoring systems for mining vehicle applications were $14,929 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 compared to $nil for the six months ended January 31, 2002. The off-the-road tire monitoring systems were sold for the purposes of on-vehicle validation. If the on-vehicle validation of off-the-road tire monitoring systems is successful, we expect sales of our off-the-road tire monitoring systems to increase significantly in the future.

Sales of our motorsport tire monitoring systems increased to $44,739 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $37,383 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. Motorsport tire monitoring systems are sold through a distributor and are not expected to continue.

We expect sales to increase in the near future as interest in tire pressure monitoring system continues to increase as manufacturers address the requirements of the TREAD Act. However, it is difficult to predict just how much such sales will increase, and the exact timing of the increase, if any, since our products will continue to face competition from other direct measurement tire pressure monitoring systems manufactured by our competitors. While we and our strategic partners will continue in our efforts to aggressively pursue opportunities to market and sell original equipment manufacturer passenger car tire pressure monitoring systems, we anticipate that we will face significant competition in this segment from other manufacturers of direct measurement tire pressure monitoring systems.

Gross Margin

Gross margin on product sales decreased to 18% for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from 29% for the six months ended January 31, 2002. The decrease occurred as the product mix of systems sold in the six months ended January 31, 2003 had lower gross margins than the product mix of systems sold in the six months ended January 31, 2002. The gross margins continue to be affected by the reduction in carrying value of first generation product inventory in the 1999 fiscal year. If the write down of inventory had not occurred, gross margins on sales would have been 11% for the three months ended January 31, 2003 compared to 20% for the six months ended January 31, 2002.

Expenses

Expenses decreased to $3,548,916 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $3,794,609 for the six months ended January 31, 2002, as increases in marketing and general and administration expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses were partially offset by lower engineering, research and development expenses.

Engineering, research and development expenses decreased to $523,079 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $1,091,917 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. The decrease was attributed primarily to a $500,000 expenditure for non-recoverable development costs incurred with a key component supplier for future product development activities in the six months ended January 31, 2002. This expenditure was a one time expense with this key component supplier. The nature of our activities could result in future non-recurring expenditures. A decrease in prototype development and lower expenditures on patents and approvals also contributed to the decrease in engineering, research and development expenses.

Marketing expenses increased to $823,225 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $786,025 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. The increase was a result of higher marketing-related wages and tradeshow expenditures. The increase was partially offset by lower advertising and promotion expenses. Trade show expenses included the cost of attending the Automechanika show, which is held in Europe every two years. We incurred an expense of $130,000 in connection with the termination of a management agreement; 50% of this amount or $65,000 was booked as marketing expenses and 50% was booked as general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased to $1,615,362 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $1,378,469 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. The increase was attributed to higher professional fees, higher investor relations costs, higher insurance premiums and higher wages. Investor relation costs were higher due to the expense of a non-refundable deposit on a public relations program that did not proceed and the expense of a non-refundable retainer paid to a financial advisory firm. Professional fees were higher as a result of filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As explained above, our general and administrative expenses include $65,000 that was incurred in connection with the termination of a management contract.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $587,250 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 from $538,198 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to remain at approximately its current level for the foreseeable future.

Interest and finance charges of $811,782 were incurred during the six months ended January 31, 2003, including $745,826 in interest and finance charges on 10% and 5% redeemable convertible debentures issued during the six months ended January 31, 2003, and $65,956 in interest on a promissory note created as part of the consideration for restructuring the Company's strategic relationship with TRW Inc.

Interest income

Interest income of $1,662 was earned for the six months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to $13,774 for the six months ended January 31, 2002. This decrease was due to lower average cash balances maintained and lower interest rates during the more recent fiscal quarter.

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2002 vs. Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2001

Revenue

Gross revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 increased to $1,012,344 from $779,611 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2001. This increase in revenue was a result of the following:

Sales of aftermarket passenger car systems increased to $791,217 for fiscal 2002 from $389,020 for fiscal 2001 due to sales of $633,846 of our second generation product that was launched at the end of fiscal 2001.

Sales of original equipment manufacturer passenger car systems increased to $164,588 for fiscal 2002 from $143,788 for fiscal 2001 due to sales of $95,547 of our second generation product offset by reduced sales of our first generation product under the Lincoln Continental program. The Lincoln Continental program was discontinued by Ford at the end of December 31, 2001.

Sales of the motorsport tire monitoring systems decreased to $56,539 for fiscal 2002 from $246,803 for fiscal 2001. Motorsport tire monitoring systems are sold through a distributor and are difficult to predict.

Despite the increase in sales for fiscal 2002, sales of our second generation products for fiscal 2002 were below management's expectations. Management believes that the primary cause for sales not meeting expectations relates to the delays by the United States Government in finalizing the regulations under the TREAD Act, which were originally due in November 2001. In particular, management believes that the delays in finalizing the regulations have had a significant negative impact on our aftermarket sales.

Now that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued part one of its final ruling under the TREAD Act, we anticipate that our aftermarket segment sales will increase over the course of the next 12 months and beyond. In addition, although the TREAD Act only applies to passenger automobiles, we believe that other motor vehicles, including medium and heavy trucks, buses and motorcycles will be impacted by this legislation in subsequent years. We also believe that compliance with the TREAD Act by European, Japanese and other automakers will accelerate the adoption of tire monitoring systems globally.

It is difficult to predict the magnitude of the expected sales increase or the exact timing of the increase since our products will continue to face competition from other tire pressure monitoring systems manufactured by our competitors, and the timing of additional legislative initiatives on tire safety, if any, in the United States and abroad remains uncertain. Our management expects that, as tire monitoring becomes standard equipment for new passenger vehicles, demand for tire monitoring systems as dealer installed options and aftermarket products will decline.

Our current strategy involves generating short-term revenue from products available to meet today's demand for dealer installed options and aftermarket products combined with the pursuit of original equipment manufacturer business. However, the pursuit of original equipment manufacturer business will involve new challenges for management, including overcoming existing relationships that certain of our competitors currently enjoy with automakers.

Gross Margin

Gross margin on product sales decreased to 31% for fiscal 2002 from 50% for fiscal 2001. The decrease occurred as the product mix of systems sold in fiscal 2002 had lower gross margins than the product mix of systems sold in fiscal 2001. The gross margins continue to be affected by the reduction in carrying value of first generation product inventory in the 1999 fiscal year. If the write down of inventory had not occurred, gross margins on sales would have been 21% for fiscal 2002 compared to 19% for fiscal 2001.

Expenses

Expenses increased to $7,038,843 for fiscal 2002 from $6,377,595 for fiscal 2001 as increases in engineering, research and development expenses and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense were only partially offset by lower marketing, general and administrative expenses.

Engineering, research and development expenses increased to $1,727,606 for fiscal 2002 from $1,485,874 for fiscal 2001. The increase was attributed primarily to a $500,000 expenditure for non-recoverable development costs incurred with a key component supplier for future product development activities. This expenditure was a one time expense with this key component supplier. The nature of our activities could result in future non-recurring expenditures. The engineering, research and development expenses for fiscal 2002 included higher wage expenditures but lower expenditures on consulting fees and on product testing and prototype development due to completion of our second generation passenger car products in fiscal 2001. We expect to increase our engineering, research and development expenses for fiscal 2003 from the amount expended during fiscal 2002 due to an increase in the planned number of development projects.

Marketing expenses decreased to $1,527,644 for fiscal 2002 from $1,744,004 for fiscal 2001. The decrease was a result of lower advertising and promotion expenditures as well as lower travel, consulting, and trade show expenditures. Trade show expenses decreased as we did not attend the SEMA trade show in fiscal 2002 as we did in fiscal 2001 and the expenses for fiscal 2001, included costs associated with attending the Automechanika trade show. This decrease was partially offset by the cost of market research associated with entry into the original equipment manufacturer automotive market. Marketing expenses are expected to increase in fiscal 2003 as we attended the Automechanika trade show in September 2002 and additional marketing expenses are likely required to support anticipated higher sales in fiscal 2003.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,631,215 for fiscal 2002 from $2,701,621 for fiscal 2001. The decrease was attributed to a recovery of a bad debt and lower travel, investor relations, computer and office costs. This decrease was partially offset by higher insurance premiums and wage expenditures. General and administrative expenses for fiscal 2003 are expected to remain at approximately the same level as expenses incurred in fiscal 2002.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,152,378 for fiscal 2002 from $446,096 for the fiscal 2001 due to the amortization of other assets acquired in December 2000 and August 2001.

Interest expense of $145,472 was incurred during fiscal 2002 mainly due to interest on a promissory note created as part of the consideration for restructuring the strategic relationship with TRW as described under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Interest Income

We earned interest income of $18,735 for fiscal 2002 as compared to $359,799 for fiscal 2001. This decrease was due to lower average cash balances maintained and lower interest rates during fiscal 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Six Months Ended January 31, 2003

We have continued to finance our activities primarily through the issuance and sale of securities. We have incurred recurring losses from operations in each year since inception, our current liabilities exceed our current assets and we have an accumulated deficit of $42,316,846. Our net loss for the for the six months ended January 31, 2003 was ($4,200,245), compared to ($3,701,793) for the six months ended January 31, 2002. As of January 31, 2003, our stockholders' equity was $3,409,073 and we had a working capital deficiency of ($693,461).

Our cash position at January 31, 2003 was $229,603 as compared to $525,968 at July 31, 2002. This decrease was due to the net loss from our operating, financing and investing activities described below.

Our net loss of $4,200,245 for the six months ended January 31, 2003 includes non-cash charges of $587,250 for depreciation and amortization, $8,503 for compensation expense and $701,671 for finance and interest expense. Changes in non-cash working capital during this period amounted to $809,905. Non-cash working capital changes included decreases in receivables, inventory and prepaid expenses, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the six months ended January 31, 2003, we realized aggregate gross cash proceeds of $2,564,000 as follows:

On September 26, 2002 and October 4, 2002, we closed two tranches of an offshore private placement of 10% redeemable convertible notes maturing December 20, 2002, and 150,000 share purchase warrants. We realized aggregate net proceeds from this placement of $673,823. Additional details on the convertible notes are disclosed in note 6 to the unaudited financial statements for the six-month period ended January 31, 2003 included in this registration statement.

On November 4, 2002, we effected an equity private placement that involved the issuance of two million units at a price of $0.50 per unit. We realized gross cash proceeds of $250,000 from the private placement ($230,000 net of offering expenses); the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the units was applied in repayment of $750,000 of principal under the 10% redeemable convertible notes maturing December 20, 2002. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share until November 4, 2005. An additional 17,672 common shares were issued in payment of accrued interest under the notes at a deemed price of $0.50 per share. In connection with these private placements we paid a finder's fee of $80,000 plus 160,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share.
On November 21, 2002, we closed the first tranche of the private placement of the Convertible Debentures to the selling stockholder, an accredited investor, for gross proceeds of $184,000 ($138,000 net of offering expenses). A single Convertible Debenture having a face principal amount of $200,000 was issued at an 8% discount. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at 5% per annum, and is secured by a security interest granted by us in all of our present and after-acquired assets. This security interest has been subordinated to the security interest granted by us to TRW Inc. in all of our present and after-acquired assets. On January 31, 2003, the second tranche under the private placement was closed for the proceeds of $184,000 ($158,000 net of offering expenses). It also involved the sale of a Convertible Debenture having a face principal amount of $200,000, and was issued at an 8% discount.
On December 20, 2002, we effected an equity private placement that involved the issuance of 750,000 units at $0.67 per unit and 1,000,000 units at $0.70 per unit. We realized gross cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from the private placement ($1,104,000 net of offering expenses). Each unit consists of one common share and one share warrant. 750,000 of the share purchase warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.85 per share for a period of three years and 1,000,000 of the share purchase warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.70 per share for a period of three years. In connection with this private placement, we paid a finder's fee of $96,000 plus 140,000 share purchase warrants, 60,000 exercisable at $0.67 per share and 80,000 exercisable at $0.70 per share.

The net proceeds realized by us from these financing transactions were used for working capital, and to repay $500,000 in principal and accrued interest under the $2.8 million promissory note issued by us to TRW Inc. in connection with the restructuring of the relationship between our two companies. As a result of subsequent negotiations with TRW Automotive U.S. LLC, as assignee of TRW Inc., we have reached an arrangement whereby if the amount of $850,000 is paid to TRW Automotive by June 1, 2003, in full settlement of the promissory note outstanding, we and our subsidiary, SmarTire (U.S.A.) Inc., will be released and discharged from all security granted in support of the promissory note. We currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay this amount, and our ability to raise sufficient capital to make the payment by June 1, 2003 is uncertain. Since TRW Automotive has security over all of our assets, if we fail to negotiate a payment arrangement or repay TRW Automotive, they may take action to seize our assets, which would adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations. According, we are continuing to negotiate with TRW Automotive with the view to securing more favourable terms.

We have also arranged for a $5.0 million equity line of credit facility from an accredited investor. We may draw down the facility at our discretion upon effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by us in the appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of registering the shares issuable upon the draw down of the credit facility. Each draw down must be at least seven trading days apart, and the maximum amount that may be drawn down at any one time is limited to $70,000. The term of the equity line of credit is 24 months.

Fees to arrange the equity line of credit facility from a private investment company were $300,000, $290,000 of which we paid by the issuance of 446,154 shares of our common stock on December 4, 2002 and $10,000 of which we paid by the issuance of 32,258 shares of our common stock on February 26, 2003. At January 31, 2003, the commitment fee of $290,000 had been paid while the placement agency fee of $10,000 remained outstanding and payable.

During the six months ended January 31, 2003, we also purchased certain capital assets at an aggregate cost of $25,232.

Year ended July 31, 2002

We financed our activities primarily through the issuance and sale of securities. We have incurred recurring losses from operations in each year since inception, our current liabilities exceed our current assets and we have an accumulated deficit of $38,116,601. Our net loss for fiscal 2002 was $6,829,176, compared to $5,507,019 for fiscal 2001. As of July 31, 2002, our stockholders' equity was $4,289,046 and we had a working capital deficiency of $93,609.

Our cash position at July 31, 2002 was $525,968 as compared to $2,930,257 at July 31, 2001. This decrease was due to the net loss from our operating, financing and investing activities described below.

Our net loss of $6,829,176 for fiscal 2002 includes non-cash charges of $1,152,378 for depreciation and amortization and $19,427 for compensation expenses. Changes in non-cash working capital during the year ended July 31, 2002 amount to $197,866. Non-cash working capital charges included decreases in inventory and increases in receivables, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During fiscal 2002, we realized net proceeds of $4,856,629 from the completion of three separate private placements. Each private placement was effected to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933:

In the first private placement, we issued and sold 1,830,000 units. Each unit was issued at a price of $1.70 and consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one of our common shares and is exercisable at a price of: (a) $2.80 if exercised after June 30, 2002 and on or before February 28, 2003; and (b) $3.30 if exercised after February 28, 2003 but on or before October 31, 2003, on which date the warrant will expire.

In the second private placement, we issued and sold 750,000 common shares at a price of $1.75 per share.

In the third private placement, we issued and sold 750,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share.

We also realized net proceeds of $298,110 from the exercise of 200,000 warrants, as follows: on May 19, 2002, 140,000 warrants were exercised at $1.50; and, on June 26, 2002, 60,000 warrants issued in our first private placement in fiscal 2002 were exercised after being repriced from $2.30 to $1.65. At the time, the holder of the 60,000 repriced warrants received an additional 30,000 share purchase warrants, each exercisable at a price of $2.80 per share until June 27, 2005.

The net proceeds realized by us from the private placements and the exercise of the warrants were used for debt repayment and working capital.

During fiscal 2002, we also purchased certain capital assets at an aggregate cost of $164,886.

Future Operations

Presently, our revenues are not sufficient to meet operating and capital expenses. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Our management projects that we will require an additional<R>l $4.4</R> to<R>$6.5</R> million to fund our ongoing operating expenses, working capital requirements and extinguish our debt for the next six months, broken down as follows:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next Six Months
Operating expenses
Marketing	$600,000 - $800,000
General and Administrative	$1,400,000 - $1,600,000
Engineering, research and development	$500,000 - $700,000
Capital Expenditures	$50,000 - $200,000
Working capital	$500,000 - $1,850,000

<R>Total</R>	<R>$4,431,373 - $6,531,373</R>

As indicated elsewhere in this registration statement, we introduced our motorcycle tire monitoring system for sale into the aftermarket in September 2002. In addition, we are currently field testing a commercial vehicle tire monitoring system that utilizes a high-pressure transmitter that can also be used in recreational vehicle and motor home applications, as well as in off-the-road heavy industrial applications and commercial applications. We are targeting introduction of our commercial, recreational vehicle and off-the-road tire pressure monitoring systems into the market during the 2003 fiscal year. Our working capital requirements are impacted by our inventory requirements. Therefore, any increase in sales of our products will be accompanied not only by an increase in revenues, but also by an increase in our working capital requirements. Since our inventory needs will be dictated in part by market acceptance of our new products, which is extremely difficult to predict, our budgeted working capital requirements range from $500,000 to $1,850,000.

We require immediate financing in order to continue in business as a going concern, the availability of which is uncertain. Pursuant to the terms of our senior secured promissory note dated August 31, 2001, as amended, we were required to make payments to TRW Inc. of $650,000 by October 31, 2002 and $450,000 by December 13, 2002. We failed to make these payments, but, on December 23, 2002, we paid TRW Inc. $250,000 on account of the secured promissory note, leaving us with a balance of $850,000 plus accrued interest of approximately $100,000 (as of January 31, 2003) remaining to be paid. On March 10, 2003, we signed an extension and settlement agreement with TRW Automotive U.S. LLC, as assignee of TRW Inc., whereby TRW Automotive agreed to retire the promissory note upon payment of the principal balance of $850,000 by June 1, 2003 and agreed to forgive the interest outstanding of $97,542. However, we are continuing to negotiate with TRW Automotive with the view to securing more favourable terms.

In addition, pursuant to an Application Specific Integrated Sensor Purchase and Supply Contract dated November 1, 2001 with SensoNor asa, a Norwegian company, we have agreed to pay to SensoNor a fee of $500,000 within 60 days of SensoNor issuing an invoice for that amount respecting certain non-recoverable engineering fees. We had the option of paying the $500,000 in our common shares at a discount price from the market but at no less than $2.00 per share. SensoNor later agreed that on certain conditions we would pay the $500,000 in cash. On December 13, 2002, SensoNor delivered to us a notice of termination of the Application Specific Integrated Sensor Purchase and Supply Contract unless we paid the outstanding amount within 30 days. We subsequently paid SensoNor $25,000 in cash, and the date for payment was extended to February 13, 2003. SensoNor is the supplier of a key component of our products, and

that component would be very difficult to source from other suppliers. We are still in negotiations with SensoNor to resolve all outstanding issues, including our proposal to implement a repayment schedule over the period ending December 31, 2003. If our negotiations with SensoNor do not result in a mutually acceptable settlement and we are unable to find an alternate supplier of a comparable component, we will be unable to continue to manufacture our current tire monitoring systems, and will we be unable to proceed with the commercialisation of our proposed tire monitoring systems that are currently under development. This could adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations.

As at January 31, 2003, we had a working capital deficiency of ($693,461), so we recently sought and obtained additional private placement financing as follows:

On February 18, 2003, we completed a private placement of 714,286 units at a price of $0.35 per unit. We realized gross cash proceeds of $250,000 from the private placement. Each unit consists of one common share and one share warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.42 per share until February 14, 2006. In connection with this private placement, we have paid a finder's fee of $20,000 and agreed to issue 57,143 share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.35 per share.
On March 31, 2003, we completed a private placement of 3,500,000 units at a price of $0.10 per unit. We realized gross cash proceeds of $350,000 from the private placement. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of US$0.16 per share until March 31, 2005.
<R>On April 23, 2003, we issued a secured short-term promissory note to Cornell Capital Partners, LP in the principal amount of $250,000. The note plus interest at the rate of 12 percent per annum is repayable in 90 days. The promissory note is secured primarily by all of our assets, subject to the prior security interest granted to TRW Inc. In connection with this promissory note, we have paid a fee of $20,000 and agreed to pay an additional $20,000 finder's fee.</R>

<R>On May 2, 2003, we served Cornell Capital Partners, LP with 30-days' advance written notice of our intention to redeem the outstanding principal balance under the Convertible Debentures of $225,000, as we anticipate obtaining sufficient financing that will allow us to provide with the redemption of the Convertible Debentures. We may redeem any or all of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Convertible Debentures at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (a) 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, and (b) the accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount. Accordingly, we will have to pay Cornell Capital Partners, LP the amount of $273,973 on June 1, 2003 to fully redeem the Convertible Debentures. However, Cornell Capital Partners, LP, as the holder of the Convertible Debentures, may, at any time following receipt of our redemption notice, elect to convert the Convertible Debentures if the closing bid price of our common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date is greater than $0.65 per share.</R>

To enable us to fully redeem the secured promissory note held by TRW Inc. by June 1, 2003, we will need to raise an additional $850,000. We currently do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay this amount, and our ability to raise sufficient capital to make the payment by June 1, 2003 is uncertain. If we are not able to pay the $850,000 by June 1, 2003, then our license would automatically terminate and we will be unable to continue to manufacture our current tire monitoring systems, and will we be unable to proceed with the commercialization of our proposed tire monitoring systems that are currently under development. Accordingly, we are continuing to negotiate with TRW Automotive with the view to securing more favourable terms.

We plan to raise additional capital required to meet our immediate short-term needs, and additional capital required to meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the next nine months, primarily through the private placement of our securities.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2002, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our current products and any new products that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our products and related technologies, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to meet our obligations to TRW, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In that case, TRW would be in a position to realize upon TRW's security interest in our personal property, and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Inventory

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost method, and net realizable value. The determination of net realizable value is based on several assumptions and estimates. We provide an allowance that we considers to be reasonable for non-moving or slow moving inventory items and for items with expected future realizable value lower than cost. These assumptions and estimates may be inaccurate and may be revised.

The markets in which we compete are rapidly changing due to technological developments and increasing focus on automotive safety. Other companies offer products similar to those offered by us, and target the same customers as we do. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial, marketing and technical resources. We also anticipate that the competition within these markets will increase as demand for the products escalates. It is possible that new competitors or alliances among existing competitors may emerge

and such competitors may rapidly acquire significant market share and make it difficult for us to sell our current inventory. All of these elements could reduce the net realizable value of our inventory.

Warranty Obligations

On an ongoing basis, we record our best estimate of our warranty obligations and product returns related to products sold. These estimates are made after the consideration of contractual warranty obligations and historical experience. Unforeseen events, including increased technological difficulties with products, could occur that have not been anticipated in estimating the warranty provision. Additional costs or estimates will be recognized as determinable.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when goods are shipped, title passes, there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, collection is probable, and the fee is fixed or determinable. Customer acceptance is used as the criterion for revenue recognition when the product sold does not have an established sales history to allow management to reasonably estimate returns and future provisions. Customer acceptance is determined by reference to contractually defined performance criteria or by notification from the customer that the goods perform as required, as appropriate in the circumstances.

Other Assets

Other assets are recorded at cost and are being amortized over five years. Other assets are comprised of licenses to manufacture and sell tire monitoring systems to the original equipment manufacturers. On an ongoing basis, management assesses whether the expected net recoverable amount of the licenses exceeds the book value of

the licenses. The net recoverable amount is determined on a projected cash flow basis, discounted at an appropriate rate. In making our cash flow estimates, we consider recent market trends and transactions, as well as reasonable estimates of future events based on current economic characteristics. Although we expect to generate cash flow from sales to the original equipment manufacturer market place, it is possible that we will not generate cash flow from sales to the original equipment manufacturer marketplace in excess of net book value, or that we will generate cash flow from sales to the original equipment manufacturer market in future years after the other assets have been fully amortized.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive offices are located at #150 - 13151 Vanier Place, Richmond, British Columbia, V6V 2J1. We leased this 15,364 square foot facility for a five year term ending August 31, 2005. This facility consists of an office and administration area, an engineering department, a prototype production facility and a warehouse.

Our subsidiary, SmarTire (Europe) Limited, leases a 9,069 square foot facility at Park 34, Didcot, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom OX11 7WB for a 15 year term ending February 20, 2016. This facility consists of an office and administration area and a warehousing area.

We expect that our current facilities will be sufficient for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional space in the near future, we believe that we will be able to secure additional leased facilities at commercially reasonable rates.

Other than indicated below, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers.

We have adopted six formal stock incentive plans, two of which were approved by our shareholders at our 1998 Annual General Meeting, two of which were approved at our 2000 Annual General Meeting, and two of which were adopted at our 2002 Annual General Meeting. Three of the stock incentive plans provide for awards to eligible employees of our company or of any related entity who are resident in the United States and/or subject to taxation in the United States; the other three stock incentive plans provide for awards to all other eligible employees of our company or of any related entity.

We have also adopted a formal incentive compensation plan, which was approved by our shareholders at our 2000 Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting. This incentive compensation plan is intended to complement our existing stock incentive plans and any subsequent stock incentive plans that may be approved by our shareholders. Accordingly, this incentive compensation plan does not specify a maximum number of shares of our common stock that will be issuable pursuant to all awards granted under this incentive compensation plan, and all options granted under this incentive compensation plan shall be subject to the provisions of our company's existing stock incentive plans and any subsequent stock incentive plans that may be approved by our shareholders. In granting awards under this incentive compensation plan, our Board of Directors follow certain guidelines which take into account after-tax operating profits after accounting for the cost of capital employed to create such profits, as suggested by an economic value added model developed by Stern, Stewart & Co., a global consulting firm. There are no incentive awards under this incentive compensation plan for fiscal 2002 based on our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002.

To date, we have granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock subject to and in accordance with the prevailing policies of the stock exchange on which our shares were then listed. Options are granted based on the assessment by our Board of Directors and/or compensation committee of the optionee's past and

present contribution to the success of our company. Our shares of common stock are presently listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. These options are not transferable and are exercisable from the date granted until the earliest of (i) such number of years (up to ten years) from the date of the grant, (ii) such number of days following the death of the optionee as is specified in each optionee's option agreement.

One of our company's former directors, Mr. Bernard Pinsky, who resigned effective July 11, 2002, was paid his hourly rate as an attorney at law for his time expended on his duties as a director.

Other than the incentive compensation plan, the management agreements, the advisory agreements and the stock incentive plans discussed herein, we presently have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers.

Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors of SmarTire Systems Inc.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of SmarTire Systems Inc. as at July 31, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, we conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted accounting standards. With respect to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2000, we conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 Company as at July 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2002 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Comments by Auditor for U.S. Readers on Canada - U.S. Reporting Difference

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the board of directors dated September 13, 2002, except as to note 14 which is as of October 7, 2002, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States dollars)

Years ended July 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000


1.	Operations:
	The Company and its subsidiaries develop and market products incorporating wireless data transmission and processing technologies, primarily for the automotive markets. The Company's primary product is a wireless tire monitoring system which it currently markets for use on passenger vehicles and other pneumatic tire applications. All sales of its product are made in this industry segment.
	The Company is continuing to develop its products and markets. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a deficit of $38,116,601 and a working capital deficiency of $93,609 as at July 31, 2002. Since 1998, the Company has raised approximately $28,000,000 through ten private placements to fund its operations. The Company requires immediate additional financing to fund its operations and meet its overdue and maturing debt obligation. (see note 5). The Company is pursuing various alternatives for private placements and public financings to meet its immediate and long-term financial requirements. Subsequent to year end, the Company realized $750,000 on completion of a private placement (note 14). There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company's assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.	Significant accounting policies:
	(a)	Basis of presentation:
		These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SmarTire USA Inc., SmarTire (Europe) Ltd., and SmarTire Technologies Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	(b)	Research and development costs:
		Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Equipment used in research and development is capitalized only if it has an alternative future use.
	(c)	Cash and cash equivalents:
		Cash and cash equivalents includes investments in short-term investments with a term to maturity when acquired of 90 days or less.

2.	Significant accounting policies (continued):
	(d)	Inventory:
		Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method and includes invoice cost, duties and freight. Provision for obsolescence is estimated by management based on historical and expected future sales.
	(e)	Fixed assets:
		Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation of computer hardware and software and office and shop equipment is provided for on the declining balance basis at 30% per annum. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease.
	(f)	Other assets:
		Other assets includes the license to manufacture and sell tire monitoring systems to the original equipment vehicle manufacturers (note 5). Other assets are recorded at cost and are being amortized over five years on a straight-line basis.
	(g)	Impairment of long-lived assets:
		The Company monitors the recoverability of long-lived assets, based on estimates using factors such as expected future asset utilization, business climate and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets or be realized on sale. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the projected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount. The amount of the impairment charge, if any, is measured equal to the excess of the carrying value over the expected future cash flows discounted using the Company's average cost of funds.
	(h)	Revenue recognition:
		The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped and title passes, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, collection is probable, and the fee is fixed or determinable. Customer acceptance is used as the criterion for revenue recognition when the product sold does not have an established sales history to allow management to reasonably estimate returns and future provisions. Provisions are established for estimated product returns and warranty costs at the time the revenue is recognized. The Company records deferred revenue when cash is received in advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met.
(	(i)	Earnings (loss) per share:
		Basic earnings (loss) per share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. If in a period the Company had outstanding dilutive stock options and warrants, diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method.

2.	Significant accounting policies (continued):
	(j)	Income taxes:
		The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective income tax bases and for loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment. Deferred income tax assets are evaluated and if their realization is not considered to be "more likely than not", a valuation allowance is provided.
	(k)	Foreign currency translation:
		The Company's functional or primary operating currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company's financial statements are prepared in Canadian dollars before translation to the U.S. dollar reporting currency. The Company translates transactions in currencies other than the Canadian dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in earnings.
		Amounts reported in Canadian dollars have been translated into U.S. dollars as follows: assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expense items are translated at the average rates for the period. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the translation into the reporting currency are accumulated in a cumulative other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders' equity.
	(l)	Use of estimates:
		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management at the date of the financial statements 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 to revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include estimating the net realizable value of inventory and the future cash flows for assessing the net recoverable amount of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2.	Significant accounting policies (continued):
	(m)	Stock-based compensation plans:
		The Company has elected under FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, or "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense under the Company's fixed option plans is recorded on the date of grant only if the market price of the underlying stock at the date of grant exceeds the exercise price. The pro forma stock compensation information required by FAS 123 is presented in note 8(d).
		The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options, common stock and other instruments issued to non-employees for services received based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued as the services are performed and the instrument earned.
		If the exercise price of employee stock option award is not fixed in the functional currency of the Company or in the currency the employee is paid, the award is accounted for as a variable award until the award is exercised, forfeited, or expires unexercised. The Company measures compensation as the amount by which the quoted market value of the common shares of the Company's stock covered by the grant exceeds the option price with changes in the market price included in the measurement of loss.
	(n)	Comprehensive income:
		Under SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", the Company is required to report comprehensive income, which includes net earnings as well as changes in equity from non-owner sources. The other changes in equity included in comprehensive income for the periods presented comprise the foreign currency cumulative translation adjustments. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the consolidated financial statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss).
	(o)	Comparative figures:
		Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.

	(b)	The subscribed and issued share capital of the Company is as follows:
		(i)	For the year ended July 31, 2002, the Company realized net cash proceeds of $4,856,629 from the completion of three separate private placements, each effected pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. In the first private placement, the Company issued and sold 1,830,000 units for net cash proceeds of $2,955,469. Each unit was issued at a price of $1.70 and consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.

Advisors to the private placement were issued 58,100 share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $1.70 and a cash commission of $149,770 plus expenses of $5,761. The warrants are exercisable over three years from the date of issuance. The estimated fair value of these warrants is recorded as a capital transaction as the services relate to an equity transaction by a charge against share capital and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of these warrants at the date of grant was $110,625.
			In the second private placement, the Company issued and sold 750,000 common shares at a price of $1.75 per share for net cash proceeds of $1,173,660. Advisors to the private placement were issued 52,500 share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $1.75 and a cash commission of $131,250 plus expenses of $7,590. The warrants are exercisable over three years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants at the date of grant was $95,715.
			In the third private placement, the Company issued and sold 750,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share for net cash proceeds of $727,500. Advisors to the private placement were issued 22,000 common shares plus a cash commission of $22,500. The fair value of these shares at the date issued was $28,358.
			The Company also realized net proceeds of $298,110 from the exercise of 200,000 warrants. On May 19, 2002, 140,000 warrants were exercised at $1.50. On June 26, 2002, 60,000 warrants issued in the Company's first private placement in fiscal 2002 were repriced from $2.30 to $1.65 and exercised and an additional 30,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at a price of $2.80 per share were issued. The new warrants are exercisable over three years from the date of issuance. Advisors to the private placement earned a cash commission of $10,890.

7.	Share capital (continued):
	(c)				Stock-based compensation plans (continued):
				The Company normally issues options to directors at fixed exercise prices. 120,000 options issued to directors and outstanding as at July 31, 2002 (2001 - 90,000) vest immediately, but if not exercised each year, there is an annual 20% increase in the exercise price until the options expire. For accounting purposes these options are considered to be variable in nature and compensation expense is recorded to the extent of increases in the market value of the underlying common shares as compared to the exercise price at each reporting period.
				Where options issued after January 18, 2001 have an exercise price in a currency that is not either the (a) functional currency of the Company, or (b) the currency in which the employee is paid, the options are to be accounted for as variable plan options and compensation expense will be recorded equal to changes in the market value of the underlying common shares at each reporting period. During the year ended July 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company granted options in U.S. dollars when the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Most employees of the Company are paid in Canadian dollars or British pounds. Accordingly, these employee options are considered to be variable options.
				The compensation recovery (expense) for variable options for the year ended July 31, 2002 is $3,190 (2001 - ($3,190); 2000 - nil). In addition, compensation expense is recognized to the extent that options are granted having an exercise price less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
		(d)		F-19 Stock-based compensation:
				As explained in note 2(m), the Company has adopted only the disclosure provisions of FAS 123, to account for grants under the Company's existing employee stock based compensation plans. The exercise price of each option is based on the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with the measurement provisions of FAS 123, the Company's net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been adjusted as follows:

								2002		2001		2000

			Net earnings (loss):
						As reported	$	(6,829,176)	$	(5,507,019)	$	1,905,178
						Pro forma		(7,886,498)		(6,762,702)		1,375,301
			Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
						As reported		(0.41)		(0.39)		0.14
						Pro forma		(0.47)		(0.47)		0.10

7.	Share capital (continued):
		(d)			Stock-based compensation (continued):
				The Company recognizes the compensation expense at the date of granting the stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
				The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:

							2002		2001		2000

			Expected dividend yield				0%		0%		0%
			Expected stock price volatility				129%		220%		195%
			Risk-free interest rate				4.35%		5.60%		5.89%
			Expected life of options				1.67 years		2.00 years		3.80 years


			Weighted-average fair values of options granted during the year are as follows:

							2002		2001		2000

			Options whose exercise price at date of grant:
						Equals the market price of stock	$	-	$	3.88	$	-
						Exceeds the market price of stock	2.07		3.04		1.64
						Is less than the market price of stock	-		3.25		-

	(e)		Warrants:
			As at July 31, 2002, warrants outstanding were exercisable for 2,030,317 (2001 - 309,717) common shares of the Company. The warrants entitle the holders to purchase common shares of the Company at prices ranging from $1.70 to $2.80 per share and expire on various dates until June 27, 2005.
8.	Financial instruments:
	(a)		Fair value of financial instruments:
			The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and promissory notes payable approximate their fair values due to being in a ready cash form or the short-term maturity of these instruments.
	(b)		Credit risk:
			The majority of the Company's activities are concentrated in the automotive industry and sales are primarily to a few major customers (note 13). To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

			The Company operates internationally which gives rise to the risk that cash flows may be adversely impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. To July 31, 2002, the Company has not entered into derivatives or other hedging instruments to mitigate its foreign exchange risk.

9.	Related party transactions:
	During the year ended July 31, 2002, the Company:
	(a)		Paid $115,900 (2001 - $78,510) for consulting services and financing fees on the private sales of its common stock and issued 46,900 (2001 - nil) share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $1.70, expiring on January 18, 2005 for financing services to a company in which a director of the Company has significant influence. The director also received 15,000 (2001 - 15,000) options from the Company during the year.
	(b)		Paid $98,752 (2001 - $79,858) for legal fees to a legal firm in which a former director (resigned in July 2002) of the Company is a partner.

14.	Subsequent events:
	(a)	On September 26, 2002 and October 4, 2002, the Company realized gross cash proceeds of $500,000 and $250,000 respectively from the issuance of 10% redeemable convertible notes of the Company plus 150,000 share purchase warrants from the completion of a private placement effected pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The agreements were signed on September 20, 2002 and the notes mature on December 20, 2002. Interest on these notes is payable when the notes are fully converted or redeemed. At the option of the Company, the Company may make interest payments and redeem the notes in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock. The conversion price of the notes is the lesser of:
		(i)	an amount which is equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the three lowest Closing Bid Prices for the ten (10) day period ending on the day before the Scheduled Maturity Date; or
		(ii)	$1.00
		Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one of the Company's common shares and is exercisable at a price of $1.25 on or before September 20, 2005, on which date the warrant will expire.
		The Company shall have the right to prepay all of the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the notes as follows:
		(i)	for the period from September 20, 2002 until and including October 20, 2002, 110% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of repayment;
		(ii)	for the period from October 21, 2002 until and including November 19, 2002, 115% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment; and
		(iii)	for the period from November 20, 2002 until and including December 20, 2002, 120% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment.
		The fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes model and intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is $684,000 and will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is the conversion price for the notes less the fair value of the underlying common shares at the date of the agreement. The remaining balance of $66,000 will be recorded as a liability. The carrying value of the liability will be accreted to the redemption value of the notes over the period from September 26, 2002 to its initial maturity date of December 20, 2002. The accretion amount would be charged to the statement of operations.

1. Basis of presentation: These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using United States generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which in management's opinion are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The disclosures in these statements do not conform in all respects to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. These statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the significant accounting policies and other information in the Company's most recent annual financial statements.
2.	Going concern:
	The Company requires immediate additional financing to fund its operations and meet its maturing debt obligation (see note 11 (b)). The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a deficit of $42,316,846 and a working capital deficiency of $693,461 as at January 31, 2003. Since 1998, the Company has raised approximately $30,000,000 through fourteen private placements to fund its operations. The Company is pursuing various alternatives for private placements and public financings to meet its immediate and long-term financial requirements. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company realized $250,000 on completion of a private placement (note 11). There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company's assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3.	Operations:
	The Company and its subsidiaries develop and market products incorporating wireless data transmission and processing technologies, primarily for the automotive markets. The Company's primary product is a wireless tire monitoring system which it currently markets for use on passenger vehicles and other pneumatic tire applications. All sales of its product are made in this industry segment.
4.		Other Assets

		2003		Cost		Accumulated amortization		Net book value
		OEM - most medium and heavy duty trucks	$	1,737,500	$	744,088	$	993,492
		OEM - all other vehicles		3,300,000		095,295		2,394,705

			$	5,037,500	$	1,649,303	$	3,388,197
		F-33
		The Company believes that the net book value of its "other assets" of $3,388,197 as at January 31, 2003 is recoverable based on expectations of future profits from the Company's future sales of the monitoring systems to the original equipment vehicle manufacturer's market ("OEM"). The Company's belief is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis based on management's best estimate of projected annual sales to the passenger vehicle and light truck OEM market plus the Company's projected sales to the OEM and heavy truck market. Based on these analyses, at January 31, 2003 management concluded that future profits were in excess of the net book value of the company's "other assets" as at January 31, 2003.
5.		Promissory note payable
		As at January 31, 2003, the balance of $850,000 owed to TRW was overdue (note 11(b)).

(b) As at January 31, 2003, warrants outstanding were exercisable for 6,188,317 (July 31, 2002-2,030,317) common shares of the Company. The warrants entitle the holders to purchase common shares of the Company at prices ranging from $0.50 to $2.80 per share that expire on various dates until December 15, 2007.

6. Share capital (continued):

(c) During the second quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company realized net cash proceeds of $1,334,000 from the completion of two separate private placements, each effected pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The first private placement included the issuance of 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit. The Company realized gross proceeds of $250,000 from this private placement; the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the units was paid for by the application of $750,000 of principal under the senior convertible notes issued by the Company on September 20, 2002. On conversion of senior convertible notes, the carrying value of debt and equity component of the debt recorded as additional paid in capital were reclassified to common shares included in shareholders' equity. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share until November 4, 2005. An additional 17,672 common shares were issued as a payment of accrued interest at a deemed price of $0.50 per share. Advisors to the private placement were paid a commission of $20,000 and were issued 40,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share. The fair value of these warrants at the date of grant was estimated at $17,131. The fair value of these warrants is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: (expected dividend yield 0%, expected stock price volatility 126%; risk free interest rate 4.23%, expected life of options 3 years). The fair value of the warrant and the commission were recorded as share issue costs.

F-34

In the second private placement, the Company issued and sold 750,000 units at $0.67 per unit and 1,000,000 units at $0.70 per unit. The Company realized gross cash proceeds of $1,200,000 from this private placement. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Of the share purchase warrants issued, 750,000 entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.85 per share for a period of three years and 1,000,000 of the share purchase warrants entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.70 per share for a period of three years. Advisors to the private placement were paid a commission of $96,000 and issued 140,000 share purchase warrants, 60,000 exercisable at $0.67 per share and 80,000 exercisable at $0.70 per share. The fair value of the warrant and the commission were recorded as share issue costs. The fair value of these warrants at the date of grant was $78,148. The fair value of these warrants is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: (expected dividend yield 0%, expected stock price volatility 131%; risk free interest rate 4.2%, expected life of options 5 years).

6. Share capital (continued):

(d) The Company has also arranged a $5.0 million equity line of credit facility from a private investment company. The Company may draw down the facility at its discretion provided that each draw down is at least seven trading days apart, and the maximum amount that may be drawn down at any one time is limited to $70,000 and advance notice is required. The term of the equity line of credit is 24 months. At the time of draw down against the line of credit the Company will issue common shares equal to that amount advanced divided by 99% of the stock price on the five consecutive days after the date of notice. On each date of advance of funds, the Company is to pay 1.5% of the advanced funds as a commission. On the date of the execution of the contract, the Company issued shares worth $290,000 based on the trading price of the stock of the Company on that day. Shares worth $10,000 are payable to the placement agent as at January 31, 2003. The Company may draw down the facility at its discretion upon effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by the Company in the appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of registering the shares issuable upon the draw down of the credit facility. The commitment fee of $290,000 and the agent's placement fee of $10,000 have been deferred until such time as the Company draws down against the equity line of credit.

7. Convertible debentures:

(a) During the three months ended October 31, 2002, the Company realized gross cash proceeds of $500,000 and $250,000, respectively, from the issuance of 10% redeemable convertible notes of the Company plus 150,000 share purchase warrants on the completion of a private placement effected pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. The agreements were signed on September 20, 2002 and the notes were to mature on December 20, 2002. Interest on these notes is payable when the notes are fully converted or redeemed. At the date of maturity the notes were automatically convertible into common shares at a price equal to the lesser of:

(i) an amount which is equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the three lowest Closing Bid Prices for the ten (10) day period ending on December 19, 2002; or

The Company may make interest payments in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has the option of prepaying the principal portion of notes in cash or letting it convert into common shares at the maturity date of the notes. The principal and accrued interest amount outstanding under the notes could be prepaid as follows:

(iii) for the period from September 20, 2002 until and including October 20, 2002, 110% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment;

(iv) for the period from October 21, 2002 until and including November 19, 2002, 115% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment; and

7. Convertible debentures (continued):

(v) for the period from November 20, 3003 until and including December 20, 2002, 120% multiplied by the principal amount of these notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of prepayment.

The holders of the notes have the right to participate in the future debt or equity offering by converting these notes provided that the aggregate price of the offering is $1,000,000 or more.

For accounting purposes, the Company calculated the fair value of warrants issued using the Black-Scholes model and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature which amounts aggregate $684,000, and initially recorded these values as additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying common shares at the date of the agreement exceeds the conversion price. The remaining balance of $66,000 was recorded as a liability. The carrying value of the liability was to be accreted to the redemption value of the notes over the period from September 26, 2002 to the initial maturity date of December 20, 2002.

The Company had the right to prepay all of the principal and accrued interest at a certain price. On November 4, 2002, the Company converted these convertible notes into 1,500,000 units. On conversion of these senior convertible notes, the carrying value of debt and the equity component of the debt has been recorded as additional paid in capital was reclassified to common shares included in shareholders' equity (note 6(c)). Interest accretion of $701,671 has been charged to the statement of operations as interest expense in the period ended January 31, 2003 and the carrying value of the liability component was reduced to $nil on November 4, 2002.

Advisors to the private placement received a cash commission of $60,000 or 8% on the face value of the notes and 120,000 share purchase warrants exercisable at a price equal to the conversion price of the convertible notes into common shares or $.50. The warrants are exercisable over five years and expire on November 4, 2007. The fair value of these warrants at the date of grant was $51,393. The fair value of the warrant is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: (expected dividend yield 0%, expected stock price volatility 126%; risk free interest rate 4.23%, expected life of options 3 years).

b) The Company closed the first tranche on November 21, 2002 of a private placement to a private investment company of senior subordinated redeemable convertible debentures bearing interest at 5% per annum. The second tranche under the private placement was conditional upon a registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration statement was declared effective on January 31, 2003 and on that day we closed the second tranche of the private placement. On March 14, 2003, a post-effective amendment registration statement was filed with the Securites and Exchange Commission. In each tranche, the Company received gross proceeds of $184,000 for the issuance of a debenture in the principal amount of $200,000. Total net proceeds after financing charges were $274,000. Each debenture was issued at an 8% discount from the face principal amount. The maturity dates of the debentures are November 21, 2004 and January 31, 2005.

7. Convertible Debentures (continued):

The holders of the debenture may from time to time convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, together with accrued and outstanding interest thereon, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of:

(i) 120% of the closing bid price for the Company's common shares on the date of closing of each tranche of $0.65 per share and $0.36 per share respectively ; and

(ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price for the Company's common shares during the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date; and

The outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the debenture will be automatically converted into common shares of the Company on November 21, 2004, and January 31, 2005 respectively, unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to pay out the debenture in cash on those dates.

The debentures are secured by a security interest granted by the Company in all of its present and after-acquired personal property, assets and undertaking. Such security interest has been subordinated to the security interest previously granted by the Company to TRW Inc. in all of its present and after-acquired personal property, assets and undertaking.

The Company may redeem the debenture at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(i) 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, and

(ii) the accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount; provided, however, that the holder of a debenture may, at any time following receipt of the Company's redemption notice, elect to convert the debenture if the closing bid price of the Company's common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date is greater than $0.65 and $0.36 per share respectively.

If the Company exercises its redemption right under the debenture:

(i) each debenture holder will receive for every $100,000 invested, 10,000 common share warrants, each entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at either an exercise price equal to $0.65 per share until November 21, 2004 under the first tranche and $0.36 per share until January 31, 2005 under the second tranche; and

(ii) each debenture holder will be entitled to registration rights in respect of the shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.

The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion of the debentures was $142,857 and was recorded as additional paid-in capital. The remaining balance, being $257,143 was recorded as a liability. The carrying value of this liability will be accreted to the redemption value of the debentures over their maturity period. To January 31, 2003 $6,411 was accreted, which increased the carrying value of the liability to $263,554.

Subsequent to January 31, 2003, the holders of the debenture converted $50,000 of the principal of the debenture into 191,964 common shares of the Company.

8. Related party transactions:

During the six months ended January 31, 2003, the Company incurred expenses of $215,108 (2002 -$115,900) for consulting services and financing fees on the private sales of its convertible debentures for financing services and issued 300,000 share

90
issue common shares equal to that amount advanced divided by 99% of the stock price on the five consecutive days after the date of notice. On each date of advance of funds, we are to pay 1.5% of the advanced fund as a commission. On the date of the execution of the contract, we issued shares worth $300,000 based on the trading price of our stock on that day. We may draw down the facility at its discretion upon effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed in the appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of registering the shares issuable upon the draw down of the credit facility. We subsequently terminated this equity line of credit facility and entered into a new equity line of credit facility as described above.
On December 4, 2002, we issued 446,154 shares of our common stock to the lender under the equity line of credit at a deemed price of $0.65 per share, in payment of a commitment fee. We relied on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to effect this issuance.
On November 21, 2002, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby we agreed to issue up to $400,000 in Convertible Debentures, issuable in two tranches of $200,000 each to a single accredited investor relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Upon closing of the first tranche of the private placement on November 21, 2002, we issued a single Convertible Debenture maturing November 21, 2004 and having a face principal amount of $200,000. The Convertible Debenture was issued at an 8% discount, for gross proceeds of $184,000. The second tranche of the private placement will also involve the sale of a Convertible Debenture having a face principal amount of $200,000, to be issued at an 8% discount, subject to certain conditions. The investor has the right to elect not to proceed with the closing of the second tranche even if such conditions are met. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum; such interest is payable on maturity in cash or in shares of our common stock at our option, with the number of shares to be based upon the then-current closing bid price. The holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the principal and interest under the Convertible Debentures into shares of our common stock at the conversion price in effect at the date of conversion. In addition, the outstanding principal and interest under the Convertible Debenture will be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at maturity, unless we determine, in our sole discretion, to pay out the Convertible Debenture in cash on the maturity date. In either case, the conversion price shall be the lesser of $0.78 and 80% of the lowest closing bid price for our shares of common stock during the five trading dates immediately preceding the conversion date. We may redeem any or all of the principal and interest under the Convertible Debentures at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (a) 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, and (b) the accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount. However, the holder of the Convertible Debenture may, at any time following receipt of our redemption notice, elect to convert the Convertible Debenture if the closing bid price of our common shares on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date is greater than $0.65 per share. Our obligations under the Convertible Debentures are secured against all of our present and after-acquired personal property, assets and undertaking. Such security interest has been subordinated to the security interest previously granted by us to TRW Inc. in all of our present and after-acquired personal property, assets and undertaking.
On November 4, 2002, we issued, in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, two million units at a price of $0.50 per unit. We realized gross cash proceeds of $250,000 from the private placement; the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the units was paid for by the application of $750,000 of principal under the senior convertible notes issued on September 20, 2002 (described below). Each unit consists of one common shares and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share until November 4, 2005.

Item 28 UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include:

(a) any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(c) any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement;
98

(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each of the post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of SmarTire pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, SmarTire has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission that type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against said liabilities (other than the payment by SmarTire of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of SmarTire in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by the director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, SmarTire will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
