The Annual Report contains financial statements that were prepared in Canadian Dollars with conversions of certain amounts United States dollars converted into Canadian dollars based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the calendar year to which the amount relates, or the exchange rate on the date specified.  These translations should not be construed as representations that the Canadian dollar amounts actually represent such United States dollar amounts or that Canadian dollars could be converted into United States dollars at the rate indicated.  


The first table below sets forth the rate of exchange for the Canadian Dollar at the end of each of the five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, the average rates for each year, and the range of high and low rates for each year.  The second table below sets forth the high and low exchange rates for each month during the previous six months.  For purposes of these tables, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one US Dollar.  The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the year.

3.B. CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

Not applicable for Form 20-F filed as an Annual Report


3.C. REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable for Form 20-F filed as an Annual Report


RISK FACTORS


INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES OFFERED HEREBY IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE. A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:




Risks Relating to Our Stock


We Have a History Of Operating Losses Which May Affect Our Ability to Continue Operations


We sustained operating losses for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 of respectively $2,454,951, $716,317 and $1,332,889. We also anticipate sustaining a loss from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  If we are unable to achieve profitability or to raise sufficient capital to carry out our business plan, we may not be able to continue operations.  


We Have a Limited Operating History and Are Still Proving the Viability of Our Products and Business Model

Since inception, we were primarily focused on research and development.  In April of this 2003 our products became commercial and as we are still adding to our product line and in the process of proving the viability of our products and business model.  If we are unable to prove our business model or the viability of our products, we may not be able to sustain operations and our ability to raise additional funding may be jeopardized.

Our Competition Has Greater Resources Than We Do and Can Respond More Quickly To Changes in the Industry

Communications-based businesses are intensely competitive and involve a high degree of risk.  Public acceptance of business transacted by us may never reach the magnitude required to be commercially profitable.  

Many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us.  These factors may allow them to respond more quickly than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.  It may also allow them to devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services.  Such competitors may also engage in more extensive research and development, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to existing and potential employees, strategic partners, advertisers and Internet publishers. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products or services.

Volatility of World Economic Factors Can Affect Our Ability to Raise Capital and Product Costs

Our revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying value of assets are substantially dependent on prevailing world economic conditions and fluctuations in influencing factors such as exchange rates, rates of inflation, governmental stability and natural disasters.  Our ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon these factors.  The negative impact of these factors on sales orders originating from an affected country would have an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.  For example, unfavorable changes in exchange rates can increase the cost of our products and reduce revenues resulting in reduced profitability.  In the event that our profitability is reduced and we are unable to maintain our profit margins, it may be difficult to raise capital and reduce our borrowing ability.  In addition, as has been recently experienced, general downturns in the technology sector worldwide have made fundraising difficult.  Since the marketing of our products will require us to raise capital this may have an adverse affect on our ability to continue operations and to effectively market our products.

We are Dependent on Key Personnel Who Have Extensive Knowledge With Respect to Our Product and Business.

We are heavily dependent upon the expertise of the Management and certain other key officers and directors who have extensive knowledge about our products and the operations of our company, and the loss of one or more of





these individuals could have a material adverse effect. We do not maintain key-person insurance policies on any of its executive officers.  Since we are a technology based company, our future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees in the payments and communications industry. Competition for employees in our industry is intense.  We may be unable to retain its key employees or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified employees in the future.  We currently have employment agreements with our key executive officers, engineers and other key employees. These contracts are for 5 years with non-competition clauses as well.

Patents and Intellectual Property Laws May Not Stop Other Companies Form Reverse Engineering or Copying Our Products and Business Model

Our success and our ability to compete is substantially dependent on our internally developed technologies which we are currently in the process of trying to protect through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark law.  Our intellectual property applications may not be approved.  Even if they are approved, such patents, trademarks or other intellectual property registrations may be successfully challenged by others or invalidated.

We enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants and corporate partners, and generally control access to and distribution of our technologies, documentation and other proprietary information.  Despite efforts by us to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use or disclosure, parties may attempt to disclose, obtain or use its solutions or technologies.  Steps we have taken or will be taking to prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies may not be effective, particularly in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States or Canada.

The trademark, copyright and trade secret positions of the point of sale businesses, are uncertain and involve complex and evolving legal and factual questions.  Our competitors, many of which have substantial resources, may seek to apply for and obtain trademarks, trade names and Internet domain names that will prevent, limit or interfere with our technology.  Litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could result in substantial cost and uncertainty to us, may also be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the scope and validity of other parties' proprietary rights.  We may not have the financial resources to defend our trademarks, copyrights and domain names from infringement or claims of invalidity.

We currently have not been granted any patents on any internally developed technology and no third party has attempted to challenge or invalidate our intellectual property.

If We Are Unable to Respond To the Rapid Technological Change in Our Industry Our Products Can Become Obsolete

The communications industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological change. Many communication applications have a short cycle. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to continue to respond to such changes. If we are unable to respond to such changes and/or new or improved competing technology is developed, our technology may be rendered non-competitive.  In the event that we are unable to respond to these changes, our ability to raise capital to carry out our business plan may be severely restricted.  In addition our profitability may decrease as any existing inventory may need to be sold at a discount.  In this event our cash flow and liquidity would also be decreased.

Government Regulation Can Adversely Affect Our Ability to Sell our Product

Laws and regulations directly applicable to communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent.  In addition, the growth and development of the market for communications industry may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in Canada and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies.  Recently the United States government mandated wireless number portability for all new cell phones allowing consumers to keep their existing phone numbers when changing carriers.  The implementation of wireless number portability rendered several phones obsolete.  In the event that a phone model that our unit attaches to is rendered obsolete by regulations such as wireless number portability our sales and inventory values would be adversely affected.  In addition to the extent that regulatory bodies put restrictions on Voice over Internet Protocol our ability to compete with the major telecommunication companies would be effected. The result would be decreased profitability which may adversely affect our share price.

We will need additional funds in order to implement our intended projects and there is no assurance that such funds will be available as, if and when, need.





Cash flow from operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 were $(965,520), $(809,944) and $(1,398,838) respectively. We have been dependent upon the proceeds of equity and non-equity financing to fund operations. No assurances can be given that our actual cash requirements will not exceed our budget that anticipated revenues will be realized that when needed, lines of credit will be available if necessary or that additional capital will be available to us.  We anticipate that over the next twelve months we will need a minimum of $1,500,000 to sustain operations and market our products effectively.


Failure to obtain such additional funds on terms and conditions that we deem acceptable may materially and adversely affect our ability to effectively market and distribute our products resulting in decreased revenues which may also result in a decreased share price.


The market price of our common shares has been and will in all likelihood, continue to be volatile


The market price of our common shares has fluctuated over a wide range and it is likely that the price of our Common Stock will fluctuate in the future. Announcements regarding acquisitions, the status of corporate collaborations, regulatory approvals or other developments by us or our competitors could have a significant impact on the market price of the common shares.


Our shares currently trade on OTCC.BB with limited trading.  If this market is not sustained or we are unable to satisfy any future trading criteria that may be imposed by the NASD, there may not be any liquidity for our shares.  We have recently commenced commercial operations and have generated only limited revenue from the sale of our products to date.  These factors could have a negative impact on the liquidity of any investment made in our stock.


The value and transferability of our shares may be adversely impacted by the penny stock rules


In addition, holders of our common stock in the United States may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the “penny stock rules.” Our common stock is covered by the penny stock rules, a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also cause fewer broker dealers to make a market in our stock.


The large number of shares eligible for future sale by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price for our common shares.


Future sales of substantial amounts of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the common shares. At December 31, 2004 we had 47,986,239 common shares outstanding. On that date we also had reserved 9,100,000 common shares for issuance under our stock option plan; and 2,756,507 common shares are reserved for issuance under the warrants issued pursuant to various private placements.


No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of shares of common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market prices of our common stock prevailing from time to time.


We have limited sales of products to date and no assurance can be given that our products will be widely accepted in the marketplace.


Our future sales and therefore, cash flow and income, and our success, are highly dependent on success in marketing our products and consumer acceptance. If our products are not widely accepted or we are unable to market our products effectively we may face reduced share prices, decreased profitability, and decreased cash flow.






There is a limited public market for the common shares at this time in the United States which may affect a shareholders ability to sell stock


Our shares currently trade on OTCC.BB with limited trading.  If this market is not sustained or we are unable to satisfy any future trading criteria that may be imposed by the NASD, there may not be any liquidity for our shares.  We have recently commenced commercial operations and have generated only limited revenue from the sale of our products to date.  These factors could have a negative impact on the liquidity of any investment made in our stock.


You should not expect to receive dividends


We have never paid any cash dividends on shares of our capital stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business.  Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will be dependent upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time.


ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY


We were incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on December 10, 1996 as Green Point Resources Inc.  On October 18, 2000, we changed our name to Wildcard Wireless Solutions Inc.  On June 30, 2001, we filed Articles of Continuance in the Province of Alberta and became an Alberta corporation. On that same day, we conducted an amalgamation with Wildcard Communications Canada Inc., an Alberta corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, wherein Wildcard Communications Canada was merged into Wildcard Wireless Solutions Inc.   On June 20, 2003 we changed our name to TransAKT Corp.  The legislation under which we operate is the Alberta Company Act and our registered office is located at Suite 260, 1414 – 8th Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2R 1J6.  


We have operated principally as a research and development company since its inception. Initial seed capital has been directed toward areas of product research and development, patent filings and administration. We have completed development of our initial product and have entered into the sales and distribution phase. In October 2004 we purchased the existing business and certain assets of IP Mental Inc., a Taiwan based Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) hardware and software provider.  This diversified our product lines and business.  Our business is the design, development and manufacturing of mobile payment terminals and VoIP solutions for enterprise and consumer markets.


Over the past three years we have had no major capital expenditures and we currently do not have any planned capital expenditures.  In 2004 we purchased the assets of IP Mental Inc. for shares of our Company that were fair valued at 2,944,000 and we also advanced them US$500,000 by way of a promissory note.  Other capitalized costs n the transaction were $363,618 which included a finder’s fee in stock of 294,400 and miscellaneous acquisition costs.  Other than the IP Mental Inc. acquisition we have generally only had capital expenditures on computer equipment, tools and dies, patents, and trademarks.


We have mainly financed our operations through the issuance of equity in private placements.  We have not had sufficient cash flows from sales to fund our operations and took a loan against inventory produced to fund our first commercial run of our payment terminals.  In the short term until our sales are sufficient to fund operations we will continue to have to finance our operations through debt or equity financing.


BUSINESS OVERVIEW


We began operations in 1997 and commercialized our first product line of mobile point of sale terminals in April 2003.  With the use of cellular phones, these terminals allow merchants to accept payments anywhere, anytime.  In October 2004, through the acquisition of the business and certain assets of IP Mental Inc., we entered the VoIP business.  We now offer both Mobile Payment solutions (MPOS) and VoIP equipment and solutions.  


We sustained operating losses for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively of $2,454,951, $716,317  and $1,332,889.  In addition we expect to incur an operating loss in 2005.




We have operated principally as a research and development company since its inception.  Initial seed capital has been directed toward areas of product research and development, patent filings and administration.  We have now completed development of our initial products and have entered into the sales and distribution phase. Our business is the design, development and manufacturing of mobile wireless solutions and Voice over Internet Protocol equipment and solutions for enterprise and consumer markets.


Our MPOS products are currently offered through out North America. The VoIP products are being distributed in several countries around the world including but not limited to Greece, Holland, Malaysia, Thailand, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Philippines, and Dubai through various distribution partners and channels.  We have had limited revenues in the last three fiscal years as we began marketing our MPOS equipment in April 2003 and in October 2004 we began the marketing of our VoIP  products.


Our products can be used all year round and are not affected by seasonal trends.


Our first product was the TransAKT™. The TransAKT™ is a wireless Point of Sale (WPOS) device that clips on to the back of certain Motorola cellular phones providing the user with a mechanism for swiping cards with magnetic stripes (e.g., credit cards, debit cards, etc.) for conducting wireless commercial transactions.  Once attached the phones are used to send transaction information over the cellular network to the processing center for credit approval.  This application provides mobile merchants, business professionals and consumers with voice, data and transactional capability all in one handheld device. We anticipate adapting the TransAKT™ for use with other types of cellular phones in late 2005.


Our second product line is VoIP products and solutions.  These products allow communication over the World Wide Web at reduced communication rates. Our products range from Universal Serial Bus (“USB”) plug and play phones to stand alone phone adapters and phones. We have 11 different products to offer in this area.


It is not our intention to engage in the capital and management intensive industry of manufacturing our products.  We intend to outsource our manufacturing, warehousing and distribution.  Following this approach, we do not expect that we will experience volatility in our gross margins because all outsourcing will be undertaken on a fixed contract basis.  We have spent considerable time identifying suitable international engineering and manufacturing firms.

We are not generally restricted to manufacturers for our products.  To date, we have been able to select from a number of potential contractors and manufacturers and have been able to contract with well-organized firms that have a proven track record.  Our MPOS  products are being manufactured in both South Africa and China and our VoIP products are being manufactured in Taiwan and China.  


With respect to the production of the TransAKT™, we have a contractual arrangement with Sygade, a former subsidiary of Fujitsu.  All work performed by Sygade will carry a “bring in” repair warranty against manufacturing faults and is valid for 12 months from time of purchase.  The intellectual property rights to the TransAKT™ design belong to us.  We have no other manufacturing agreements in place for our TransAKT terminals. Our VoIP products are being manufactured under contract by various hardware manufacturing facilities and we have no set arrangements in place with any of them.


All raw materials for our products are sourced from China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom.  Due to the fact that our products use computer components, the price of these components can be highly volatile and are subject to the risk of obsolescence.  In order to control costs and the risk of obsolescence, we contract with a manufacturer at a set price for the building of our product over a number of terminals.  The manufacturer becomes responsible for making sure enough inventory is in stock and if not available quickly implements minor product changes to allow for components to be replaced. This process is conducted for all of our manufacturing of products


Marketing


For MPOS, we intend to align ourselves with major distribution partners such as banks, ISO’s (Independent Sales Organizations) and cellular phone providers.  For VoIP we will align ourselves with Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”), computer retailers, telephone companies, and computer manufacturers to capitalize on the existing distribution infrastructure. These large established partners normally will fund and support extensive domestic and international marketing programs for our products. We do not plan to employ our own direct sales force initially, but





rather employ regional managers, field service engineers and customer representatives to support our channel partners and work closely with sales forces.


While the initial marketing emphasis has been on North America for our MPOS products, we have now begun our exploration of the Asian market through the association with groups familiar with the region.  This strategy is increasingly important because the cellular market in Asia is almost five times the size of the North American market.  


The amount of funding that will be required to enter the Asian market is dependent on the product changes that will be necessary at the time we roll out into those markets as well as the strength of the distribution partner that is identified. We anticipate roll-out of our MPOS products into the Asian markets to begin late 2005.  


Our VoIP marketing is being conducted through the association with distribution partners in several countries on a global basis.  We attend trade shows to market to the distributors and once signed we provide them with marketing and technical support in order to enhance their sales.


In marketing the MPOS products , we will target those businesses that conduct commercial transactions away from a central business location, including food delivery, utilities, government house cleaning, healthcare, financial services, delivery vans, landscaping, trades persons, and taxicabs, etc.  Mobile wireless solutions are emerging technologies and applications where enterprises and consumers can use their mobile phones to carry out their business whenever and wherever they want.

The marketing of the VoIP products is targeted at consumers and small businesses that are calling internationally on a regular basis. With our products consumers can have the benefit of either calling free inside our network or at reduced rates outside the network.

Patent rights, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property are important to our success.  We rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect their proprietary rights.

A patent application protecting the proprietary technology of the TransAKT™ was filed in the Canadian Patent Office on November 18, 1999.  This application is “provisional” with the expectation that further refinements in the technology will follow and will be included in corresponding U.S. and P.C.T. applications. We also have a patent for our VoIP technology that was issued in Taiwan and application has been made in United States for the patent as well.

We continue to make filings for our trademark(s) and patents in Canada and the U.S.  We are also reviewing whether to register the industrial design of the technology. Our agents conduct a search every three months to keep us abreast of all filings in this area.


Business Relationships


We believe in forming strategic business relationships with capable and strong companies that can help us grow.  We have formed strategic business relationships with companies like Motorola, Vital Processing Services and FedChex and various Distribution partners as outlined on our web site (www.transaktcorp.com).


Due to the arrangement we have set up with Motorola we have access to information on newest mobile phones that are being released.  We are able to get detailed information on the mobile phones which help us plan and build new models of our Mobile Point of Sales terminals (MPOS).


We have no formal agreement with Vital Processing Services.  Vital has certified that the software in our terminals works on their system.  We are in discussions with Vital with respect to support of our products.  The certification on Vital’s processing system allows us to market our product to all the acquirers that are connected to them.  According to Vital they process one out of every four electronic payment transactions in North America and processes for the top 25 Acquirers in the United States.


We have integrated FedChex’s check verification software into our TransAKT terminals which allows us to offer check processing services to our clients.  FedChex has chosen the TransAKT as its preferred wireless terminal.  FedChex has agreed to market the TransAKT™ to its well established client base.



With respect to VoIP the associations we have set up are with various marketing and distribution companies who commit to volume purchases and commit to marketing costs in exchange for rights to sell our products.  This is the way that we can keep our marketing costs to a minimum while capitalizing on existing distribution channels.


Competition

The cellular communications industry is expanding at exceptional rates both in utilization and functionality demands.  Companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Palm Pilot, ZiCorp and Motorola are rushing to expand the utility of their products in areas of data communication and entertainment.  Some companies, for example, have incorporated video games into their cellular phones.  We have identified certain areas of functionality that can be enhanced in cellular phones and have integrated this functionality by attaching our credit card reading devices to the phones. By externalizing this technology, we are able to develop products that have certain communication capabilities that cellular telephones alone cannot presently duplicate because of problems they face modifying the internal cellular telephone technology to meet the security demands of the sponsoring financial institutions.  


We are a relatively new company within the industry and our ability to compete is a function of the funding we are able to obtain to compete with those companies with more resources than we have.  Our products use normal cellular communications to process transactions whereas our competitors use dedicated data networks such as the CDPD network (Cellular Digital Packet Data).  Normal cellular communications refers to the digital cellular network that is well established in North America.  Service providers for this network include Sprint, Verizon Wireless, and Altel.  The coverage of the dedicated data networks is not as wide spread as the normal cellular communications coverage and that is our main competitive advantage.  Another advantage is that some of our competitors charge additional monthly fees for use of their terminals whereas we do not.  Dedicated data networks were launched solely for the purpose of providing a system that could be used in a mobile environment for varied applications.  Several companies in the wireless payments industry saw the dedicated data networks as an ideal way to provide their service.  These systems required some infrastructure to be put in place and originally covered only large cities.  Over time the use of the dedicated networks did not meet expectations and the result is the planned shut down by some of the largest service providers.

The MPOS market we are trying to break into is dominated by several large companies who are far more established than we are and have far more marketing resources than we do.  Their terminals are well known in the marketplace whereas our terminals are not.  Some of our principal competitors include Ingenico, Nurit, and Mist Wireless.  We have just recently begun marketing our products and our share of the market at the current time is negligible.


With respect to VoIP our focus has been global which has helped us gain market penetration and establish a global distribution network.   While other companies have taken a more regional approach, we have been establishing a foothold in as many countries as possible.   In addition since we own its own network and design our own hardware, we are not dependent on third parties for our solutions as is the case with most of the established VoIP companies in the market today.


There are a few existing VoIP service providers offering a competitive total solution through the aggregation of third party hardware and other third party networks however they are faced with several technical support issues and provisioning issues as a result of the aggregation.  There is even fewer companies that manufacture the required hardware and have created their own network eliminating the provisioning and technical support issues.  With our system a user will experience toll quality calling, no jitter, and no delay.   

The VoIP industry is relatively young and several of the more well known players have much greater resources than we do.  They have used their resources to get their name out to the public and become leaders in the industry.  Some of the more well known companies are Vonage, Packet 8, and Net 2 Phone.  Our current share of the global VoIP market is negligible.


The VoIP industry being in its infancy is also not currently heavily regulated however in the future governments may put in place regulations that affect our ability to compete in foreign markets with local communications providers.  In addition regulations may also come into effect in out domestic market that limit our ability to compete with incumbent telephone companies.




ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE


We have two wholly owned subsidiaries; TransAKT USA Ltd. (a Nevada Corporation) and TransAKT Holdings Limited (a Turks and Cacaos Company).  TransAKT Holdings Limited owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of TransAKT Taiwan Inc. our Taiwan based operating company.  Located in Chicago, TransAKT USA Ltd. markets and sells all of our VoIP equipment and mobile payment terminals in the United States.  Other than holding the shares of TransAKT Taiwan Inc., TransAKT Holdings Limited is non-active.


PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT


We have no material tangible fixed assets as we subcontract all manufacturing to third parties.


ITEM 5.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS



OPERATING RESULTS


For the year ended December 31, 2004 versus the December 31, 2003


Overview

During 2004 the Company continued its sales efforts and was highly focused on fundraising activities.  The Company was successful in closing two private placements as described in Note 10 of our financial statements and capped off the Year with the successful acquisition of IP Mental Inc.’s Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) assets.  The purchase of the VoIP assets was a strategic acquisition in that it diversified the Company away from its sole dependence on the mobile payments business, gave the Company access to highly skilled  in house engineers, and allowed the Company to begin the convergence of its payment terminals with mobile Internet communications.


Revenues

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $192,606 to $337,697 compared to $145,091 for the same period in 2003. The increase in revenue was mostly due to the sales of VoIP equipment from the closing date of the acquisition in October to year end.



Product gross margin was 29.5% for the year which was lower than the 45.5% of the previous year.  The reduction in gross margin was due to the promotional pricing offered by the Company on its payment terminals to increase awareness of its products and the lower margins available on the sale of VoIP equipment.  A demonstration unit program was launched for sales agents whereby the mobile payment products were sold to them at a significantly reduced price for trial purposes.  The Company anticipates that future sales will increase as a result of these efforts.


Cash Flow Management

Cash flow from operations for the year, including changes in non-cash working capital was  $(965,519) compared to $(809,943) in 2003.  For the most part the increase in cash used in operating activities can be attributed to the newly set up office and related costs in Taipei from mid October to year end.


Cash flow from financing for the year was $2,194,058 compared to $583,420 in the previous year.  The increase was due to proceeds received from the Company’s larger private placements during the year.


Cash flow from investing for the year was $(749,540) compared to $(20,151) in same period in 2003. The difference was due to funds loaned to IP Mental of $601,700, acquisition costs related to the business acquisition of $69,618, and purchase of new VoIP equipment.


Cash on December 31, 2004 was $506,701 compared with cash of $27,703 on December 31, 2003, an increase of $478,998. The increase was due to the previously mentioned private placement closed during the year particularly funds not used from the October private placement of US $745,000.


Until such time as the sales of the Company’s products are able to sustain operation, the Company will rely on future financing in order to fund ongoing sales and marketing activities.




Net loss

Net loss for the year was $(2,454,845), compared with $(699,688) for the year 2003.  The difference was mainly due to the compensation expense charged to income based on the fair value of stock options issued during the year in the amount of $1,265,000; the inventory write-down of 100,879; and increased fees and expenses related to the new office in Taiwan.


Results from Operations


Revenue

Sales for the year ending 2004 totaled $337,697 compared to $145,091 for the same period in 2003.  A gross margin of $99,367 (2003 - $66,015) helped offset operating expenses.


Significantly all of the Company’s mobile payment product sales took place in the United States while its VoIP product sales were worldwide.


Operating Loss

The Company’s operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2004, was $(2,454,951), compared with an operating loss of $(716,138) for year 2003 an increase in loss of $(1,738,813). This increase in loss was largely due to an increase in compensation expense of $1,265,000 from the fair valuation of the Company’s stock options; an increase in management fees of $91,991; an increase in office costs of $182,223; a write down of inventory in the amount of $100,879, and an increase in salaries and wages as a result of the new staff in Taiwan in the amount of $163,221.  Generally expenses were higher year over year as a result of the new office in Taiwan and costs related to the acquisition of the VoIP assets.


The increase in operating expense over 2003 was $1,718,165 as a result of the following items:


Compensation expense was $1,265,000 in 2004 compared to Nil in 2003 since no stock options were issued in 2003.


Management and consulting fees were $357,121 in 2004 versus $265,130 in 2003.  The increase was due to fees to additional consultants as a result of expanded operations.


Office costs were increased $182,223 from $108,256 in 2003 to $290,479 in 2004 as a result of the new operations in Taiwan.


Depreciation and amortization for the year was $140,002 versus $134,993 in 2003.  The increase was due to the increased amortization that resulted from the addition of the new assets of IP Mental Inc.


The Company took a one time inventory write down of obsolete inventory of $100,879 in 2004.


Salaries and wages were $163,221 in 2004 compared to Nil in 2003.  This was all from the addition of staff in the Taipei office.


Professional fees increased by $30,199 from $10,997 in 2003 to $41,196 in 2004 from costs and fees associated with the Company’s stock being listed in the United States for trading.


Rental expense showed an increase of $11,826 year over year as a result of the addition of the office in Taiwan.


Travel expenses in 2004 were $67,527 versus $33,931 in 2003.  The increase was a result of increased fundraising activities and travel to Taiwan required for the closing of the asset purchase.


Telephone and internet expenses were up $6,981 in 2004.


Advertising and promotion for the year was $23,207 as compared to $9,187 from the previous year as a result of the Company’s increased marketing activities.


Interest and bank charges in 2004 of $22,618 was comparable to that of 2003 in the amount of $21,163.

Research and development costs for the year were ($22,315) versus $111,920 in 2003.  The decrease reflects the shift of the Company out of research and development.




Net Loss

The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $(2,454,845), compared with $(699,689) for the year 2003, an increased loss of  $(1,755,156). The net loss for the year  resulted largely from an operating loss of $(2,454,951) previously described.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash on December 31, 2004 was $506,701 compared with cash of $27,703 on December 31, 2003, a change of $478,998.  Cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $(965,519), and financing and investing activities increased cash flow in the year by $1,444,517. Of this amount, $2,194,058 cash flow from financing was offset by $(749,541) cash flow from investing. The Company’s December 31, 2004 cash balance is not adequate enough to sustain the Company’s expected growth in existing operations. Ongoing improvements in revenue, gross margin and working capital are expected to generate positive cash flow from operations in future years.


The Company had no long-term debt on December 31, 2004.


The Company’s working capital on December 31, 2004 was $383,162 compared with working capital of $(79,671) on December 31, 2003, an increase of $462,833.


During the year, current assets increased by $450,484 from $420,852 on December 31, 2003 to $871,336 on December 31, 2004 largely due to an increase in cash on hand of $478,998.


Current liabilities decreased by $12,349 from $500,523 on December 31, 2003 to $488,174 on December 31, 2004 due to the decrease in Inventory Loan.


Cash Flow From Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Company used cash in operations in the amount of $(1,035,137), compared with $(809,943) for 2003, a change of $225,194.


Financing Activities

During the year Company had cash flow from financing activities in the amount of $2,194,058 compared to $583,420 in 2003.  The increase was a result of the Company’s larger private placements closed in during the 2004 versus 2003.


Investing Activities

During year ended December 31, 2004 the Company used cash from investing activities in the amount of $(749,541), which is $(719,390) more than the $(20,151) reported for in 2003.  This was largely as a result of the promissory note outstanding from IP Mental Inc. related acquisition costs.


Impact on Inflation

Inflation is not considered to be a major factor affecting continuing operations, as the inflation rate remains low.


Foreign Currency

The Company’s revenue and cost of product sales are primarily earned and spent in United States dollars. Operating expenses are primarily denominated in United States dollars. Consequently, significant movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on financial results.



Risks and Uncertainties

In addition to risks described elsewhere in this report, the Company is subject to each of, and the cumulative effect of all of, the following risk factors. The Company has risk management practices in place designed to offset these risk factors to the greatest extent possible. Risk factors include:

OPERATING RESULTS



For the year ended December 31, 2003 versus the December 31, 2002

Management's discussion and analysis of TransAKT's financial position and the results of its operations in 2003 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements.


Overview

2003 was the Company’s first year of commercial production and sales. The year marked the achievement

of a major milestone in the development of the Company.


Financial Highlights

Revenues

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased by $138,782 to $145,091 compared to $6,309 for the previous year. The revenue increase was a result of the shift of the Company from development to sales and marketing as its product reached commercialization.


Product gross margin

Product gross margin was 45% for the year which was comparable to 46% in the previous year.


Cash flow management

Cash flow from operations for the year, including changes in non-cash working capital was $(809,943) in 2003. This was an improvement of $588,895 compared to $(1,398,838) in 2002. The improvement was a result of increased sales and the benefit of cost cutting measures implemented by the Company. Cash flow from financing in 2003 was $583,420 primarily due to a shares for debt settlement and small share issuance during the year. Cash flow from investing in the 2003 was $(20,151) versus $(305,177) in 2002, primarily due to reduced patent and trademark filing costs. Cash on December 31, 2003 was $27,703 compared with cash of $274,377 on December 31, 2002, a reduction of $(246,674). Until such time as the sales of the Company’s products are able to sustain operation, the Company will rely on future financing in order to fund ongoing sales and marketing activities.


Net loss

Net loss for the year was $(699,688), compared with $(1,331,445) in 2002, an improvement of $631,657. $553,643 of this improvement was from overall reductions in operating costs.


Results of Operations


Operating loss

The Company’s operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $(716,137), compared with an operating loss of $(1,332,899) for the same period in fiscal year 2002, an improvement of $616,762. This improvement was due to $63,119 from gross margin as product sales grew by $138,782. The balance of the improvement compared with the same period in 2002 was due to a decrease in yearly operating expense of $553,643, from $1,332,899 to



$716,137 primarily caused by Company cost cutting measures.  The reduction in operating expense of $553,643 for the year ended December 31, 2003 when compared with fiscal year 2002 was made up of the following items: · Management and consulting fees were $265,130 in 2003 versus $406,592 in 2002. The reduction was a result of the closure of the Company’s Vancouver office in 2002. · Depreciation and amortization for the year was $134,993 versus $17,375 in 2002. The increase was due to the depreciation of assets that were not depreciable until commercial production began. · Research and development costs reduced from $289,035 in 2002 to $111,920 in 2003 as a result of the completion of development of the Company’s first product line. . In fiscal year 2003 the Company took measures to reduce its yearly expenses and improve operational efficiency by closing its Vancouver operations and integrating them into its Calgary head office. The result was seen in the reduction in office expenses from $318,682 in 2002 to $108,256 in 2003; rental expenses from $114,253 in 2002 to $66,797 in 2003, and telephone expenses from $24,400 in 2002 to $19,779 in 2003.  Interest and bank charges increases to $21,162 versus $3,868 in 2002 due to accrued interest on the Company’s inventory loan.  Professional fees saw a reduction from $57,666 in 2002 to $10,997 in 2003 and travel expenses also saw a reduction from $90,873 in 2002 to $33,931 in 2003 as a result of the closure of the Company’s Vancouver office and related travel costs.


Net loss

The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $(699,688), compared with $(1,331,445) for 2002, an improvement of $631,757. The net loss for the year resulted largely from an operating loss of $(782,152) previously described.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash on December 31, 2003 was $27,703 compared with cash of $274,377 on December 31, 2002, a change of $(246,674). Cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $(809,943), and financing and investing activities increased cash flow in the year quarter by $563,269. Of this amount, $(20,151) cash flow from investments was offset by $583,420 cash flow from financing. The Company’s December 31, 2003 cash balance is not adequate enough to sustain the Company’s expected growth in existing operations. Ongoing improvements in revenue, gross margin and working capital are expected to generate positive cash flow from operations in future quarters. The Company had no long-term debt on December 31, 2003. The Company’s working capital on December 31, 2003 was $(79,763) compared with working capital of $125,372 on December 31, 2002, a decrease of $(205,135). During 2003, current assets decreased by $(135,994), from $556,846 on December 31, 2002 to $420,852 on December 31, 2003 due to a decrease in cash of $(246,674), a decrease in prepaid expenses of $171,179, an increase in accounts receivable of $1,425, and an increase in inventories of $280,434. Current liabilities increased by $69,051 from $434,474 on December 31, 2002 to $500,525 on December 31, 2003. The reduction on accounts payable of $134,566 was offset by the transfer of the balance of the long term debt from 2002 to current liabilities in 2003.


Cash Flow from Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company used cash in operations in the amount of $(809,943), compared with $(1,398,838) for 2002, a change of $588,895.  The improvement in cash flow from operations compared to 2002 of $588,895 was due to a significant improvement in the net loss from continuing operations, which increased cash flow from operations by $631,757. The major negative working capital item compared to 2002 was the change in inventory which contributed $(280,434).


Financing Activities

During the year Company had cash flow from financing activities in the amount of $583,420 compared to $1,795,184 in 2002.


Investing Activities

During year ended December 31, 2003 the Company used cash from investing activities in the amount of $(20,151), which is $(285,026) less than the $(305,177) reported for 2002. The difference is due to reduced patent and trademark filing activities as well as equipment purchases.


Impact of Inflation

Inflation is not considered to be a major factor affecting continuing operations, as the inflation rate remains low.


Foreign Currency

The Company’s revenue and cost of product sales are primarily earned and spent in United States dollars.  Operating expenses are primarily denominated in Canadian dollars. Consequently, significant movements in exchange rates may have a significant impact on financial results.





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


TransAKT's financial condition can be impacted by the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the US dollar due to the fact that some of the funds that we raise for capital are in Canadian dollars, we report in Canadian dollars and all of our inventory is purchased in US dollars.  Also our revenues are mainly generated in US dollars and our operating expenses are mostly in Canadian dollars.


Our sales have generated limited revenue to date and we will require $1,500,000 for operations, marketing, and research and development.


Over the past two years we have raised a total of $1,905,411 from private placements,  $1,516,200 was raised in 2002 and $389,211 was raised in 2003.


In order to fund ongoing operations we reached agreements with certain creditors and issued 892,319 shares at a price of $0.39 per share to settle total debt of $348,004.39.  The shares for debt settlement occurred on December 9, 2003.


The fact that we have been successful in raising funds from private placements and have been able to settle debts with the issuance of shares in the past is not an indication that we will be successful in obtaining funds in this manner on acceptable terms in the future.


On January 12, 2004 we announced that we had initiated a US$2,550,000 financing comprised of 8,500,000 shares at US$0.30 per share.  On June 24, 2004 we announced the closing of the above private placement with US$1,065,664.50 being raised.  We currently do not have any debt or equity agreements in place that would help fund operations over the next twelve months and we anticipate that we will require $1,500,000 during the next twelve months in order to sustain operations and effectively market our products in addition to $500,000 for continuing research and development.  We will need to raise additional funds in order to carry out our business plans and will need to raise the funds through debt or equity transactions.


At this time we can not determine what our long-term liquidity needs are.  This is due to the fact that we have limited history with respect to sales and since we are still in the process of proving our business plan we are unable to reasonably determine what portion of our expenses will be covered by sales.


We do not anticipate having any material capital expenditures over the next 12 months except for the carrying of inventory.  We intend to finance the inventory purchases by obtaining inventory and purchase order financing from financial institutions.  This type of financing is usually available if the client purchasing the product has good credit and the Company seeking the financing has a good track record in the marketplace.  Up until now we have generated limited revenue and we have only been selling our products for a brief period of time.  In the event that we are unable to obtain this type of financing we will have to seek other forms of debt or equity financing which can be affected by market conditions and general economical trends.


OPERATING RESULTS


For the year ended December 31, 2002 versus the December 31,2001


Operational Expenses

Our operating expenses in fiscal year 2002 increased slightly to $1,335,795 from $1,258,496 in fiscal year 2001.  Research and development costs were $289,035 in 2002 versus $420,717 in 2001.  The reduction was due to the fact that we were nearing the completion of the development of our products.  Management and consulting fees were $406,592 in 2002 and $245,083 in 2001. The increase was a result of the general increases in fees year over year and the addition of marketing staff.  Office expenses increased from $188,732 in 2001 to $318,681 in 2002 due to the increase in investor relations activities.  Rental costs in 2002 were $114,253 closely matching the $115,874 experienced in 2001. The reason for the decrease was due to the closure of the Vancouver office towards the end of 2002.  In 2001 a one time write down of a long term investment in the amount of $74,759 was charged to income.





Revenues

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we had $6,309 in sales with a cost of goods sold of $3,413, while during fiscal year 2001 we had no sales since we were still developing our first products.


Our net loss for year 2002 closely matched our net loss for 2001.  In 2002 we experienced a net loss of $1,331,445 compared to a net loss for year 2001 of $1,258,496.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


TransAKT's financial condition can be impacted by the fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the US dollar due to the fact that some of the funds that we raise for capital are in Canadian dollars, we report in Canadian dollars and all of our inventory is purchased in US dollars.  Also our revenues are mainly generated in US dollars and our operating expenses are mostly in Canadian dollars.


Our sales have generated limited revenue to date and we will require $2,000,000 for operations, marketing, and research and development.


Over the past two years we have raised a total of $1,905,411 from private placements,  $1,516,200 was raised in 2002 and $389,211 was raised in 2003.


In order to fund ongoing operations we reached agreements with certain creditors and issued 892,319 shares at a price of $0.39 per share to settle total debt of $348,004.39.  The shares for debt settlement occurred on December 9, 2003.


The fact that we have been successful in raising funds from private placements and have been able to settle debts with the issuance of shares in the past is not an indication that we will be successful in obtaining funds in this manner on acceptable terms in the future.


On January 12, 2004 we announced that we had initiated a US$2,550,000 financing comprised of 8,500,000 shares at US$0.30 per share.  As of the date of this filing, we have not received any funds from this offering and we are continuing our efforts to raise the funds.  If we are unable to raise the funds pursuant to this financing we will have to seek out other forms of financing such as debt financing.  We currently do not have any debt or equity agreements in place that would help fund operations over the next twelve months and we anticipate that we will require $1,500,000 during the next twelve months in order to sustain operations and effectively market our products in addition to $500,000 for continuing research and development.


At this time we can not determine what our long-term liquidity needs are.  This is due to the fact that we have limited history with respect to sales and since we are still in the process of proving our business plan we are unable to reasonably determine what portion of our expenses will be covered by sales.


TREND INFORMATION

TransAKT participates in industries with tremendous competition, scope, global opportunity and technological change. According to Telecom Trends International the global mobile commerce (“m-commerce”) market is expected to grow from $6.8 billion today to over $554 billion by 2008.  Also according to Telecom Trends International global m-commerce users are expected to grow from 95 million in 2003 to 1.7 billion in 2008.  “M-commerce” is an area of activity comprised of transactions with monetary value conducted via a mobile device.  These transactions may involve intangible goods delivered to the mobile device in digital format, as well as tangible goods that are purchased using the mobile device but delivered separately.  TransAKT intends to compete as a multi-product company targeting a number of different telecommunications industry niches. This tremendous growth can be credited to advances in technology as well as increased competition. As the quality and functionality of cellular phones has advanced significantly, their affordability has also improved. As the cost-spread between fixed-line and mobile phones narrows, it is likely that people will use their convenient mobile phone more.  Our business is currently focused on one small segment of the industry and the projected growth may not be achieved.  


The enormous acceptance of the cellular phone on a global scale has meant full capacity for the cellular phone manufacturers. As a result, cellular phone manufacturers have been unable to address the increasing need for cellular phone accessories. The market for wireless products is relatively young. Already the lines between voice and data communications are blurring as the demand for 24-hour access to people and information increases dramatically.



Wireless data, from simple data transmissions to sophisticated messaging applications, will drive the next generation of growth in wireless.


Data requires a broad based digital network to be effective, so the market is just beginning in the U.S.

Currently, the wireless data market is comprised of mobile business professionals and workers in the field. Vertical markets across many industries - health care, finance and field service, to name a few - have a ready need for specialized wireless data applications. The real market potential, however, is the mass consumer.




Just as answering machines enhanced the traditional telephone as a method of communications, wireless data is expected to enhance the cellular phone as a communication device. Wireless data will exist alongside voice as a standard set of communication options, each with its own distinct advantages.


Wireless data represents the next logical step to applications that have already established a foothold in the consumer market.


Over time as more and more companies enter the marketplace with new terminals margins will generally decrease on existing terminals.  Larger more established companies are able to subsidize product purchases with rebates and other promotions which may force us to drop our prices to stay competitive.


Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has emerged as the next generation global communications platform and has turned the telecommunications industry upside down. Traditional telecommunications companies are seeing their market share start to erode away as barriers to entry in the industry are dropping due to VoIP.  According to Juniper Research by 2009 the global VoIP market will contribute $32 billion to a total worldwide telephony market of $260 billion, or some 12% of revenues.  Ian Cox of Juniper Research says “VoIP will bring new revenue-generating opportunities to the telephony market by combining voice services with other IP applications”.  The use of VoIP for communications drastically reduces the cost of long distance.


Many of the networks and much of the hardware available today have problems with Network Address Translation (NAT).  TransAKT’s diverse VoIP offerings include a proprietary network that operates perfectly in NAT environments as well as behind firewalls and also includes hardware that works with or without a computer.  The Company currently has Eleven different hardware offerings and is continuing to expand on them.


As more and more companies enter the VoIP market, margins on hardware are shrinking in exchange for capturing clients.  As the larger incumbent telecommunications companies enter the market and offer significant discounts to retain their existing client base, we will be forced to offer the same rates in order to stay competitive.

(1)

In 2003 Mr. Sumar purchased 700,000 escrow shares from a former insider of the Company. This purchase was  approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.

 (2)

On October 18, 2000 in connection with the closing of the reverse takeover transaction with Wildcard Communications Canada Inc., Mr. Pomerleau acquired 4,180,374 performance escrow shares at a price of $0.01 per share.  At the end of 2001, the value of these shares had decreased to $1,045,094.  In 2001, Mr. Pomerleau entered into agreements to acquire an additional 1,396,061 performance escrow shares in aggregate from other principals of the Company, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.  The purchase of 1,200,000 of these shares was completed on April 24, 2002.


Performance escrow shares are shares that were issued to the principals of Wildcard Communications in conjunction with the reverse take over transaction of Green Point Resources when the Company went public on October 18, 2000.  The TSX Venture Exchange required that the shares be put into escrow and released over time.  The reason for this is to insure that management and the key principals retain an interest in the Company for a period of time




following the public transaction.  Under the terms of the escrow agreement shares can be transferred from one director or officer within the Company to another.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION



MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION


The Company incorporates by reference herein the information set forth in the Company’s Amendment No.3 to Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on March 8, 2004, under the heading “MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION”.


MATERIAL CONTRACTS


Each of our material contracts has been described within this Form 20-F and attached.


EXCHANGE CONTROLS


There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation of Canada that may affect the import or export of capital for use.


Other than the withholding of any taxes due under the terms of specific treaties between countries on dividends paid to shareholders of the Corporation there are no restrictions on the remittance of dividends, interests or other payments.


TAXATION


The discussions below summarize the material tax considerations relevant to an investment in common shares by individuals and corporations who, for income tax purposes, are resident in the U.S. for purposes of the Convention (as hereinafter defined) and are not resident in Canada, who hold common shares as a capital asset, and who do not hold the common shares in carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Canada or in connection with a fixed base in Canada (collectively, "Unconnected U. S. Shareholders" or "Holders"). The tax consequences of an investment in common shares by investors who are not Unconnected U.S. Shareholders may differ substantially from the tax consequences discussed herein. The discussion of U.S. tax consideration is addressed only to Unconnected U. S. Shareholders whose "functional currency" within the meaning of Section 985 of the Internal





 Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), is the U. S. dollar, and to U. S. citizens who are not residents in the U.S. for the purpose of the Convention, but who otherwise meet the definition of Unconnected U.S. Shareholders. Furthermore, the discussion of U.S. tax consideration does not address the tax treatment of Unconnected U. S. Shareholders that own, or are deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to own, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of TransAKT Corp. The discussion of Canadian tax considerations does not address the tax treatment of a trust, company, organization or other arrangement that is a resident of the U.S. and that is generally exempt from U. S. tax.


This discussion does not address all of the income tax consequences that may be applicable to any Holder subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax law or to any particular Holder in light of such Holder's particular facts and circumstances. Some Holders, including tax exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and persons who hold common shares as part of a hedging transaction may be subject to special or different rules not discussed below. The discussion of U.S. tax considerations is based on the provisions of the Code.


 The discussion of Canadian tax consideration is based upon the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), the Convention between Canada and the U.S. with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital, as amended from time to time (the "Convention"), and the Company's understanding of published administrative practices of Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency and judicial decision, all of which are subject to change. The discussion does not take into account the tax laws of the various provinces or territories of Canada or the tax laws of the various state and local jurisdictions in the U. S.


U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations


Unconnected U.S. Shareholders generally will treat the gross amount of the distributions paid by the Company, including the amount of any Canadian tax withheld, as foreign source dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Distribution in excess of that amount will reduce an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder's tax basis in the common shares, but not below zero, and the remainder, if any, will be treated as taxable capital gains. In general, in computing its U.S. federal income tax liability, an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder may elect for each taxable year whether to claim a deduction or, subject to the limitations described below, a credit for Canadian taxes



withheld from dividends paid on its common shares. If the Unconnected U.S. Shareholder elects to claim a credit for such Canadian taxes, the election will be binding for all foreign taxes paid or accrued by the Shareholder for such taxable year. The Code applies various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credit that may be available to a U.S. taxpayer based upon the segregation of foreign source income into separate categories of income. The amount of credit which may be claimed with respect to the category of income to which the dividend is allocated, and to which the foreign taxes are attributable generally may not exceed the same portion of the U.S. tax on worldwide taxable income, before applying the foreign tax credit as the U.S. holder's foreign source taxable income allocation to such category bears to such U.S. holder's entire taxable income. The foreign tax credit is disallowed for dividends on stock unless a minimum holding period is satisfied and additional limitations may restrict the ability of some individuals to claim the foreign tax credit. Accordingly, we urge investors to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential consequences to them of the foreign tax credit limitations.


For U. S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of any distributions made on a common share to an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder in Canadian dollars will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars calculated by reference to the appropriate exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt of the distribution, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are actually converted into U.S. dollars upon receipt. Unconnected U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any Canadian dollars which are converted into U.S. dollars subsequent to receipt by the shareholder.


The sale of common shares generally will result in a gain or loss to the Holder in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Holder's adjusted cost basis in the shares. Provided that the Holder is not considered a "dealer' in the shares sold, gain or loss on the sale of the common shares will generally be capital gain or loss.


Capital losses are deductible to the extent of capital gains. Individual taxpayers may deduct excess capital losses of up to US$3,000 a year, US$1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately, from ordinary income. Non-corporate taxpayers may carry forward unused capital losses indefinitely.  Unused capital losses of a corporation may be carried back three years and carried forward five years.






Canadian Tax Considerations


Dividends paid or credited, or that the Company deems to pay or credit, on the common shares to Unconnected U.S. Shareholders will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Under the Convention, the maximum rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited on the common shares is 15% if the beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder. However, that rate is reduced to 5% under the Convention if the beneficial owner of such dividends is an Unconnected U.S. Shareholder that is a corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of TransAKT Corp.


An Unconnected U.S. Shareholder will not be subject to tax in Canada on any capital gain realized upon the disposition or deemed disposition of the common shares, provided that the common shares do not constitute "taxable Canadian property" of the shareholder within the meaning of the Tax Act.


Canada does not currently impose any estate taxes or succession duties.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity


The results of our operations are subject to currency translational risk and currency transaction risk. Regarding currency translational risk, the operating results and financial position of our subsidiaries are reported in US dollars and then translated into Canadian dollars at the applicable exchange rate for preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The fluctuation of the US dollar in relation to Canadian dollar will therefore have an impact upon profitability of our operations and may also affect the value of  our assets and the amount of shareholders’ equity.  


In regards to transaction risk, our functional currency is the US dollar and its activities are predominantly executed using the US dollar. We incur a relatively small amount of expenses in Canadian and Philippines currencies. However, due to the fact that the majority of our financings are completed in US dollars, we are not subject to significant operational exposures due to fluctuations in these currencies. Our common shares are listed on the OTC-BB and are bought and sold in US dollars (see tables in Item 8.). We have not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge any possible currency risks at this time.


Interest Rate Sensitivity


We currently have no significant short-term or long-term debt requiring interest payments. This does not require us to consider entering into any agreements or purchasing any instruments to hedge against possible interest rate risks at this time. Our interest earning investments are short-term. Thus any reductions in future income or carrying values due to future interest rate declines are believed to be immaterial.









Commodity Price Sensitivity


Our future revenue and profitability will be dependant, to a significant extent, upon prevailing spot market prices for oil and gas. In the past oil and gas prices have been volatile. Prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to changes in supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond the control of the Company. We currently have no significant operating revenue.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and acting Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   


Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon the foregoing, our President and our acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT


The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the company’s financial reporting procedures, internal controls, and the performance of the company’s auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing all disclosure with respect to financial matters prior to filing or release and quarterly and annual financial statements prior to their approval by the full Board. Members of the Audit Committee are Michael Pierce, Leroy Wolbaum, and Daniel Pomerleau.


The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it has at least one financial expert serving on its Audit Committee. This individual is Mr. Michael Pierce who serves as a Director of the company. Mr. Pierce is a former Certified General Accountant and former Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  The Board has determined that Mr. Pierce is not an “independent director” as such term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq due to his employment by TransAKT through October 3, 2002 but that he will be regarded as independent as of October 2, 2005.



ITEM 16 B: CODE OF ETHICS.


The Company has not adopted a formal “code of ethics”, however, it does maintain written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrong-doing and to promote:


1.

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


1.

Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, regulatory agencies and in other public communications made by the registrant;


2.

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;



3.

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the standards to an appropriate person or persons identified in the standards; and


5.

Accountability for adherence to the standards.


In addition the Company practices corporate governance in accordance with rules and regulations in Canada.


Corporate Governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors who are elected by and accountable to the shareholders and takes into account the role of management who are appointed by the Board of Directors and who are charged with the on-going management of the company. The Board of Directors of the company encourages sound corporate governance practices designed to promote the well being and on-going development of the company, having always as its ultimate objective the best long-term interests of the company and the enhancement of value for all shareholders. The Board also believes that sound corporate governance benefits the company’s employees and the communities in which the company operates. The Board is of the view that the company’s corporate governance policies and practices, outlined below, are appropriate and substantially consistent with the guidelines for improved corporate governance in Canada as adopted by the TSX Venture Exchange.


To better fulfill and implement the Board’s corporate governance policies, a Corporate Governance Committee has been established. The Corporate Governance Committee meets with and discusses current disclosure issuances with our management personnel, directors, and with both our Canadian and United States counsel, in order to not only report to the Board of Directors any matters which should be the subject of either public disclosure or remedial action but also to assist the Board of Directors in establishing reporting and disclosure procedures to ensure that we are in compliance with our disclosure and compliance obligations under applicable laws, rules and obligations. Members of the Corporate Governance Committee are Michael Pierce, Roland Williams, and Leroy Wolbaum.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants

To the Shareholders of TransAKT Corp



We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of TransAKT Corp as at December 31, 2004 and the consolidated statement of loss and deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.


In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.


The comparative figures were reported on by another firm of public accountants.

Comments by Independent Registered Chartered Accountants on Canada – United States Reporting Difference


The standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) require the addition of an explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph when there are substantial uncertainties about the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern, as referred to in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated July 14, 2005, is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to such matters in the auditor’s report when the facts are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

1. Nature of Operations and going-concern considerations


The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta on June 3, 1997. The

Company completed the acquisition of Green Point Resources Inc. on October 18, 2000 whereby it became a publicly traded company listed on the Canadian Venture Exchange. In 2004 the Company voluntarily de-listed from the TSX Venture exchange and retained a listing on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States. In October 2004 the Company purchased certain assets of IP Mental Inc., a Taiwan based Voice over Internet Protocol company.


The Company designs and develops Voice over Internet Protocol solutions and mobile payment terminals for the consumer electronics industry. The Company commenced commercial production on its development projects in 2003. Funding for activities is raised primarily through private and public share offerings and from financial support of related parties.


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a going-concern basis.  This presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,454,845 during the year ended December 31, 2004 (2003 - $699,689; 2002 - $1,331,445) and as at December 31, 2004, has an accumulated deficit of $7,776,830.


The ability of the Company to continue research and development projects and realize the capitalized value of proprietary technologies and related assets is dependent upon future commercial success of the technologies and raising sufficient funds to continue research and development as well as to effectively market its products.


In the past, the Company has been successful in raising funds in the equity market for research and development and operating activities, but there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.  If future financing efforts do not meet with success, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going-concern as it would likely have to dispose of its assets on a less than advantageous basis.


These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue its operations as a going-concern.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada, applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, TransAKT USA Corp., TransAKT Holdings Limited, and TransAKT Taiwan Limited.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Revenue Recognition


The Company currently generates revenue primarily from the sale of product.


Revenues from the sale of product are recognized upon shipment and when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. Accruals for warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at the time of shipment are based upon contract terms and anticipated claims.






Foreign currency translation


Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their Canadian dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates.  Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities reflect the exchange rates at the balance sheet date.  Translation gains and losses are included in current earnings.


Patents and trademarks


Costs incurred to secure patents and trademarks, including patent application costs, have been deferred and are amortized to operations over their useful life commencing with commercial production.


Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed unless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, in which case they are deferred and amortized to operations over the estimated market life of the product developed. No amounts for development expenses have been deferred.


The Company anticipates significant further costs will be incurred prior to technologies being ready for market. As the Company does not currently have significant revenue from sales to fund these costs, completion of the development process and delivery of the technology to market will be dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional equity financing.


If it is determined by management that the carrying value of the development costs will not be realizable by reference to the present value of future expected cash flows for the projects, related costs will be written down to recoverable value.


Goodwill


Goodwill is the excess of the cost of acquired enterprises over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. It is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the Company's reporting units with their carrying amount. When the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Company compares the fair value of goodwill related to the reporting unit to its carrying value and recognizes an impairment loss equal to the excess. The fair value of a reporting unit is calculated based on evaluations of discounted anticipated cash flows.




2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Future income taxes


The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes.  Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases.  In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized.  Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.


Capital assets


Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided at various rates designed to amortize the assets over their estimated useful lives. The amortization rates are as follows:


Computer software

50%

straight-line method

Tools and dies

20%

declining balance method

Computer equipment

30%

declining balance method

Lab equipment

30%

declining balance method

Telephone system

20%

declining balance method

Furniture and fixtures

20%

declining balance method

Leasehold improvements

 

over the term of the lease


Loss per share


Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share has not been presented as the effect on basic loss per share would be anti-dilutive.


Stock-based compensation


The Company has a stock option plan that is described in Note 10. Previously, compensation expenses were recognized for these plans only when stock options were issued to non-employees. Any consideration paid on exercise of stock options was credited to share capital.


Effective January 1, 2004, the Company retroactively adopted new Canadian accounting standards that apply the fair value method to all stock-based payments and awards. Under the fair value method, the Company calculates the fair value of the stock option grants or direct awards of stock and records that fair value as compensation expense over the vesting period of those grants and awards, and an equal amount is recorded in contributed surplus. Upon exercise of stock options, the amount of compensation expense previously recorded in contributed surplus is moved to share capital.


Measurement uncertainty


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The precise value of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3. Changes in Accounting Policy


Prior to January 1, 2004, the Company applied the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, only to stock options granted to non-employees, and applied the intrinsic value of accounting to employees stock options. Under the intrinsic value method, any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options or purchase of stock was credited to share capital.




The CICA Accounting Standards Board has amended CICA Handbook Section 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments to require entities to account for employee stock options using the fair value based method, beginning January 1, 2004. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at fair value at the date of the grant and is expensed over the awards vesting period. In accordance with one of the transitional provisions permitted, the Company has retroactively applied the fair value based method to all employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2002 and prior to January 1, 2004. The Company has not restated prior year’s reported amounts and accordingly, has adjusted 2004 opening retained earnings at January 1, 2004 by $245,672 and contributed surplus by the same amount. Options granted in 2004 are expensed in the current financial statements in accordance with the standard previously described.


4. Acquisition of Voice over Internet Protocol business


On August 15, 2004 the Company acquired IP Mental Inc.’s (IPM) Voice over Internet Protocol business, together with substantially all the manufacturing assets in Taiwan for total share consideration of 12,800,000 common shares valued at $2,944,000 plus acquisition costs of $364,018 which included the issue of 1,280,000 common shares as a finder’s fee. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations of the business acquired have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.


The 12,800,000 common shares issued are held in escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and are released in increments every six months over a period of three years from the purchase date.


The purchase price has been allocated as follows:


Capital assets

$

 186,500

Goodwill

 

3,121,518

 

$

3,308,018


The purchase price was estimated based on the date of closing using a fair value estimate of the

14,080,000 common shares issued taking into consideration the Company’s historical share price and trading volumes.





5. Advances to Shareholders


The advances to shareholders are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without fixed terms of repayment.


6. Promissory Note


During the year the Company advanced $U.S.500,000 ($Cdn. 601,700) to IPM. The promissory note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and was due on June 1, 2005.  This balance was not collected on June 1, 2005. As a result of the Company's purchase of substantially all of IPM's assets (Note 4), IPM has no active operations and limited assets other than inventory.  Management anticipates that the principal of the loan will be collected either in cash or in kind from IPM's inventory.

The funds were used to finance the production and sale of up to 1,000 TransAKT 1 units. The promissory notes are unsecured and bear interest at 10% per annum commencing six months after their issuance. A bonus amount of $U.S. 100 per TransAKT 1 unit sold, not exceeding $U.S. 100,000 in aggregate is added to the principal as the units are sold. The principal, interest and bonus amounts are repayable at the rate of $U.S. 350 for each TransAKT 1 unit sold.


The unpaid portion of the principal, interest and bonus amount not paid within one year could be converted into common shares at the average common share closing price for the thirty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice to convert. The conversion feature expired on May 24, 2004 with no further conversions taking place.

11. Stock-based compensation


Effective January 1, 2004 the Company began accounting for stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Under this method, the fair value of all stock options issued is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value is recognized in the financial statements as compensation expense. In 2003 there were no options issued.


The following table provides pro forma measures of loss and loss per common share had stock options granted to employees, officers and directors in 2002 been recognized as compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date.  The Company did not issue any options in 2003.

a)

Prior to 2004 the Company used the intrinsic method of accounting for stock options for both Canadian and US GAAP purposes. On January 1, 2004 the Company changed its method of accounting for stock options to the fair value method. While US GAAP continues to allow the use of either the intrinsic method, as prescribed by APB 25, or the fair value method, as prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock options for US GAAP purposes using the Modified Prospective Method.  Under this transition provision a US GAAP difference of $245,672 results as there is no charge to retained earnings required for prior year’s as was required under Canadian GAAP.


The following table provides pro forma measures of loss and loss per common share had stock options granted to employees, officers and directors in 2002 been recognized as compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date.  The Company did not issue any options in 2003.

New pronouncements

In 2004, the FASB issued a new revised Statement No. 123, Share-Based Payment.  FAS 123 establishes a standard for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  FAS 123 requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – usually the vesting period.

Revised FAS 123 eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued.  Revised FAS 123 is effective for public companies as of the beginning of the first interim reporting period after June 15, 2005.  The Company adopted Revised FAS 123 in 2004, the results of which have been reflected above

In 2003, the FASB issued interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”), which became effective January 1, 2004.  The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued a similar accounting guideline (“AcG 15”).  FIN 46 and AcG 15 provide guidance as to when a company should consolidate another entity into its Consolidated Financial Statements.  A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (i) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (ii) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities.  FIN 46 and AcG 15 require a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities, is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns, or both.  If a company has previously consolidated a VIE but is not subject to a majority of the risk of the loss of its activities nor entitled to receive a majority of its residual returns, such VIE is required to be deconsolidated.  Management has determined that this guideline does not impact on the Corporation’s financial position, operating results or cash flow.

In December 2004 the FASB issued FAS 153 which deals with the accounting for the exchanges of non-monetary assets. FAS 153 is an amendment of APB Opinion 29. APB Opinion 29 requires that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. FAS 153 amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception from using fair market value for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and introduces a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. FAS 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the application of FAS 153 will have an impact on the financial statements.


The adoption of these standards will not have any impact on the Corporation’s current financial position or results of operations; however, the impact of these standards in future years could be material.
