Explanatory Note:

On August 15, 2008, Acorn Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K under “Item 1.01— Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” in connection with the completion of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Coreworx, Inc. (“Coreworx”). Following the Acquisition, Coreworx management completed a reconciliation of Coreworx’s financial statements from Canadian GAAP to US GAAP. As a result of that reconciliation, the Company has determined that “Item 2.01— Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets” is applicable to the reporting of the Acquisition and that audited historical financial statements for Coreworx and pro forma combined financial statements are required to be filed. Accordingly, the Company’s Current Report on 8-K filed on August 15, 2008 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 13, 2008, the Company entered into and closed an agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Coreworx. Coreworx is headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and is engaged in the design and delivery of project collaboration solutions for large capital projects.  In consideration for the Coreworx shares, the Company issued 287,500 shares of its Common Stock. Under the share purchase agreement, a portion of these shares will be held in escrow until one year after the closing. 
 
Prior to the purchase of the Coreworx shares, the Company contributed to the capital of Coreworx $2,500,000 in cash and $3,400,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8% one-year promissory notes. The cash and notes were delivered by Coreworx to the holders of Coreworx’s debentures in full payment and satisfaction of all principal and accrued interest outstanding on such debentures.
 
Prior to and in contemplation of the completion of the Acquisition, the Company loaned $1,500,000 to Coreworx.   
 
As a result of the transaction, Coreworx is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will be presented as the Company’s Energy Infrastructure Software segment. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company agreed to implement an option plan for Coreworx employees for up to 20% of the outstanding Coreworx shares. The Coreworx management team will continue in their current positions. 
 
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed on August 15, 2008 reporting the Acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coreworx, Inc.

The following financial statements are included in this report:
   
(i)  
audited financial statements of Coreworx, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and deficit, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto; and

(ii)  
unaudited financial statements of Coreworx, Inc. as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and deficit, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods then ended and notes thereto. 
 
2


(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
 
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 included in this Report assumes that the Acquisition occurred on June 30, 2008. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations of the Company for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included in this Report assume the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2007.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein are based on the historical financial statements of the Company included with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction therewith. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.
 
Such statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been achieved if the acquisition of Coreworx had occurred on the dates specified, nor are they indicative of the Company’s future operating results.

3

 
(c) No Bankruptcy, etc. There has not been filed any petition or application, or any proceedings commenced, by or against, or with respect to any assets of, such Seller under Title 11 of the United States Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) or any other law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt or creditors' rights, and such Seller has not made any assignment for the benefit of creditors.
 
(d) Accredited Investor; Non-U.S. Person. Such Seller is either (i) an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in shares of Buyer’s Stock and the Notes and has the capacity to protect its own interests or (ii) not a US Person within the meaning of Rule 902(o) of Regulation S promulgated under the Act.

(e) Absence of Offering Memorandum or Similar Document. Such Seller has not received, nor has it requested, nor does it have any need to receive, any offering memorandum or any other document describing the business and affairs of the Buyer, nor has any document been prepared for delivery to, or review by, such Seller in order to assist it in making the decision to acquire Buyer Stock.

(f) Restricted Securities. Such Seller acknowledges that the Buyer Stock and the Notes when issued will not be registered under the Act and will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Regulation S and Rule 144 under the Act and that the Buyer Stock and Repayment Notes must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Such Seller acknowledges that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit limited resale of common stock purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the common stock, the availability of certain current public information about Buyer, the resale occurring not less than six months after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares of common stock being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

Such Seller is acquiring the Buyer Stock and/or the Repayment Notes for investment purposes for its own account and not, in whole or in part, for the account of any other person and not with a view to distribution or resale, nor with the intention of selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of all or any part thereof for any particular price, or at any particular time, or upon the happening of any particular event or circumstances, except selling, transferring, or disposing the Buyer Stock and the Repayment Notes in full compliance with the applicable provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws. Such Seller has not formed any entity for the purpose of acquiring the Repayment Notes or Buyer Stock.

4

 
(h) Information. Such Seller has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from Buyer or any person acting on its behalf concerning Buyer and its business and to obtain any additional information, to the extent possessed by Buyer (or to the extent it could have been acquired by Buyer without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of the information received by such Seller. In connection therewith, such Seller acknowledges that such Seller has had the opportunity to discuss Buyer’s business, management and financial affairs with Buyer’s management or any person acting on its behalf. Such Seller has received and reviewed all the information concerning Buyer that it desires. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Seller has been furnished with or has had the opportunity to acquire, and to review: (i) copies of all of Buyer’s publicly available documents, and (ii) all information that it desires with respect to Buyer’s business, management, financial affairs and prospects.

Such Seller relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Buyer or any of its agents.

(k) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the issuance of the Buyer Stock and the Repayment Notes will not result in any material violation of, or conflict with, or constitute a material default under, any of Seller’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents, if applicable, or any of such Seller’s material agreements nor result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge against any of the assets or properties of Seller or the Buyer Stock or the Repayment Notes.

(l) Risk of Ownership of Repayment Notes and Buyer Stock. Such Seller acknowledges that ownership of the Repayment Notes and Buyer Stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and that such Seller can bear the economic risk of ownership of the Repayment Notes and Buyer Stock, including a total loss of its investment.

In addition, each of the Sellers individually agrees to indemnify and defend the Buyer Indemnified Parties, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Damages directly or indirectly based on, arising out of or relating to any breach or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of that Seller set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement or with respect to any breach of covenant of and by that Seller under this Agreement.
 
(ii) A Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to assert a claim for indemnification from a Seller under the provisions of Section 11 (a) (i) until such time as, and only to the extent that, the total of all Damages of a Buyer Indemnified Party subject to indemnification exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of Fifteen Thousand Dollars (C$15,000) (the “Basket”). Further, any and all indemnification obligations of Sellers under the provisions of Section 11 (a) (i) shall not exceed the aggregate value of the Shareholder’ SRED Portion and the Escrow Shares (the “Cap”), other than claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

28

 
(b) Buyer’s Indemnity.

(i)  From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and defend Sellers and their respective successors and assigns, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Damages (including in each case reasonable attorneys’ fees) directly or indirectly based on, arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or any of the other agreements, certificates and instruments delivered or required to be delivered hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing (collectively, “Seller Indemnity Claims”, and together with Buyer Indemnity Claims, the “Indemnity Claims”).
 
(ii) Sellers shall not be entitled to assert a claim for indemnification from Buyer under the provisions of Section 11 (b) (i) until such time as, and only to the extent that, the total of all Damages of Sellers subject to indemnification exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of the Basket. Further, any and all indemnification obligations of Buyer under the provisions of Section 11 (b) (i) shall not exceed the Cap, other than claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(c) Notice and Defense of Indemnity Claims.
 
(i) A party hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and a Party entitled to indemnification hereunder is referred to herein as the “Indemnified Party.” An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party hereunder with respect to any assertion by the Indemnified Party or by a third-party of any Damages that the Indemnified Party has reason to believe might give rise to an Indemnity Claim under this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnified Party having actual knowledge of the Indemnity Claim. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Damages and include copies of any written complaint, summons, correspondence or other communication from the Party asserting the claim or initiating the proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party disagrees with or contests the Indemnity Claim, the Indemnifying Party must, within thirty (30) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to the Indemnified Party that it contests such Indemnity Claim. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the factual and legal basis for disputing the Indemnity Claim. The Parties shall meet to negotiate a resolution to any contested Indemnity Claim. If no negotiated resolution can be reached, the Parties shall have recourse to all legal remedies available to them. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver written notice of its intent to contest an Indemnity Claim within the thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Indemnity Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against an Indemnity Claim, whether by failure of such Party to give the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided herein or otherwise, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may settle or defend against such Indemnity Claim and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party the amount of any settlement or judgment (subject to any rights of appeal) and, on an ongoing basis, all indemnifiable costs and reasonable expenses of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, including interest from the date such costs and reasonable expenses were incurred.
 
29

 
(ii) As to any such Indemnity Claim which involves a third-party, the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of any such matter through the Indemnified Party’s own attorneys and at its own expense; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel as provided herein or (C) a claim shall have been brought or asserted against the Indemnifying Party as well as the Indemnified Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more factual or legal defenses available to it that are in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Party, in which case such co-counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to such matters and the Parties hereto agree to render each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof. An Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement of any Indemnity Claims without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, other than (i) Indemnity Claims strictly for monetary damages as to which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be responsible or (ii) a settlement which includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Indemnity Claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its assets, employees or business.
 
(d) Survival. All representations and warranties in this Agreement and their related schedules shall terminate upon the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties in Section 5 (e) (Tax Matters and Tax Returns), Section 5 (r) (Compliance with Law), Section 5(y) (Environmental Matters) and their related schedules shall survive until sixty (60) days after the date as of which the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to such matters expire and (b) the representations and warranties in Section 5 (a) (Organization; Qualification and Corporate Power), Section 5(b) (Binding Effect), Section 5 (c) (Authorized Capital Stock), Section 5 (g) (Title to Properties) and Section 5 (z) (Brokers) and their related schedules shall survive indefinitely and not terminate.
 
(e) Payment and Satisfaction. 

(i) Any Damages for which the Sellers shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties (other than for fraud) shall be paid and satisfied from either (A) the Escrow Shares with the value of such shares to be determined as the average of the closing price of Buyer Stock for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending one business day prior to the date of assertion of a claim for Damages or (B) the Shareholders’ SRED Portion, at the Sellers’ discretion, provided, however, that to the extent that either the Escrow Shares or the Shareholders’ SRED Portion shall be exhausted, any Damages shall be satisfied from whichever component still remains. Where indemnification for Damages is claimed from more than one Seller, such election shall be determined on behalf of all Sellers by any two of Covington Capital Corporation, BDC Capital Inc. and Tech Capital II L.P. in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.
 
30

 
(ii)  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Shares and the Shareholders’ SRED Portion shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery by the Buyer Indemnified Parties and shall limit any other remedies available to the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder or under any applicable law for the payment of or in respect of any claims arising hereunder, except that no such limitation shall apply in the event of fraud by any Sellers or the Company.
 
SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of a Seller under this Agreement shall not be assignable by such Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto or their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Extensions, Waivers and Amendments. The Sellers (on their own behalf or by any agent) and Buyer, may, by written agreement, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any docu-ments delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) waive compliance with or modify any of the agreements contained in this Agreement and (iv) waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of any of the parties to this Agreement.

(c) Notices. Unless otherwise provided, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given as hereinafter described (i) if given by personal delivery, then such notice shall be deemed given upon such delivery, (ii) if given by telecopier, then such notice shall be deemed given upon receipt of confirmation of complete transmittal, (iii) if given by mail, then such notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of (A) receipt of such notice by the recipient or (B) three days after such notice is deposited in first class mail, postage prepaid, and (iv) if given by an internationally recognized overnight air courier, then such notice shall be deemed given one business day after delivery to such carrier. Any party and any representative designated below may, by notice to the others, change its address for receiving such notices.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants

To the Shareholders of
Coreworx Inc. (formerly Software Innovation Inc.)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Coreworx Inc. (formerly Software Innovation Inc.) (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2007 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit and of 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 and United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

On April 4, 2008 (except as to Note 16 (b) which was as of June 3, 2008 and has been updated in these consolidated financial statements as Note 19 (b)), we reported separately to the shareholders of the Company on our audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007, prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   Description of business
 
On May 22, 2008, the name of the company was changed from Software Innovation Inc. to Coreworx Inc. Coreworx Inc. (the “Company”) is a privately owned corporation, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Ontario. The Company was formed through the amalgamation of SI Investment Holdings Inc., 612388 N.B. Inc. and Software Innovation Inc. on May 11, 2004. The Company is a leading provider of integrated project collaboration and advanced document management solutions for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction markets, particularly for large capital projects.
 
2.   Significant accounting policies
 
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Software Innovation USA, Inc (“SI USA Inc”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated. A reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements from Canadian GAAP to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) is included in Note 18.

Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Capital assets
 
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis at rates designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, beginning the month after acquisition. The rates are as follows:
   
Furniture and fixtures
48 months
Computer software
36 months
Computer hardware
24 months
Leasehold improvements
Term of lease
   
Goodwill
 
Goodwill representing the excess of purchase price over fair value of the net identifiable assets of acquired businesses is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when an event or circumstance occurs that indicates that goodwill might be impaired. When the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations in an amount equal to the excess.

Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets consist of acquired technology or the right to use technology through a license agreement and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 24 to 36 months. Intangible assets are tested for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

2.   Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Impairment of long lived assets
 
The Company assesses the recoverability of long lived assets when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of a group of assets is less than its carrying amount, it is considered to be impaired. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the group of assets exceeds its fair value. The Company has determined there was no impairment of long lived assets as at December 31, 2007.

Revenue recognition
 
The Company’s products and services are generally sold as part of a contract and the terms of the contracts, taken as a whole, determine the appropriate revenue recognition methods. Depending upon the terms of the contract and types of products and services sold, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), Emerging Issues Committee Abstract of Issue Discussed (“EIC”) EIC 141, “Revenue Recognition”, and EIC 142, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”).

For elements related to customized software solutions, revenues are recognized under SOP 81-1, generally using the percentage-of-completion method or the completed contract method. In using the percentage-of-completion method, revenues are recorded based on a measure of the percentage of costs incurred to date on a contract relative to the estimated total expected contract costs. Profit estimates on long-term contracts are revised periodically based on changes in circumstances and any losses on contracts are recognized in the period that such losses become known. In certain circumstances, where reasonable cost estimates cannot be made for a customized software solution and there is no assurance that a loss will not be incurred on the element, all revenues and certain costs are deferred until the contractual obligations have been fulfilled. (“completed contract method”).

The Company’s revenues are generated principally from (i) software licenses that grant customers the right to use the Company’s software products, (ii) professional services revenues from a variety of services related to the implementation, training in use and support of the Company’s software, including consulting, training and other services, (iii) maintenance and support revenues, which include revenues associated with annual software subscription agreements and annual software maintenance and support services, (iv) reimbursable expenses, and (v) interest and other income.

2.   Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Revenue recognition (continued)
 
(i) License revenues
 
The Company records product revenue from software licenses and products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software product has been shipped or access to use the software has been granted by the Company, there are no significant uncertainties surrounding product acceptance, the fees are fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue on delivered elements when a license agreement includes one or more elements to be delivered at a future date if evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists. If an undelivered element for the arrangement exists under the license arrangement, revenue related to the undelivered element is deferred based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered element. In accordance with SOP 97-2, as amended, revenues derived from multiple-element software sale arrangements are recognized in earnings based on the relative fair values of the individual elements.

The Company’s multiple-element sales arrangements include arrangements where software licenses and the associated post contract customer support (“PCS”) are sold together. The Company has established VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered PCS element based on the contracted price for renewal PCS included in the original multiple element sales arrangement, as substantiated by contractual terms and the Company’s significant PCS renewal experience. The Company’s multiple element sales arrangements generally include rights for the customer to renew PCS after the bundled term ends. These rights are irrevocable to the customer’s benefit, are for specified prices and the customer is not subject to any economic or other penalty for failure to renew. Further, the renewal PCS options are for services comparable to the bundled PCS and cover similar terms.

In the renewal transaction, PCS is sold on a stand-alone basis to the licensees one year or more after the license sale arrangement. The renewal PCS price is consistent with the renewal price in the original license sale arrangement although an adjustment to reflect consumer price changes is not uncommon. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all undelivered elements, all revenue is deferred until sufficient evidence exists or all elements have been delivered.

The Company assesses whether payment terms are customary or extended in accordance with normal practice relative to the market in which the sale is occurring. The Company’s sales arrangements generally include standard payment terms. These terms effectively relate to all customers, products, and arrangements regardless of customer type, product mix or arrangement size.

If the revenue recognition criteria above are not satisfied, amounts received from customers are classified as deferred revenue on the balance sheet until such time as the revenue recognition criteria are met.

2.        Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Revenue recognition (continued)
 
(ii) Professional service revenues
 
Professional service revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts, customer support agreements, training and integration services contracts and reimbursable expenses. Contract revenues are derived from contracts to develop applications and to provide consulting services. All service revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are performed provided that the revenue recognition criteria in SOP 97-2 are met.

(iii) Maintenance and support revenues
 
Maintenance and support revenues consist of revenue derived from contracts to provide post contract support to license holders. Maintenance and support revenues are normally billed in advance and recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue resulting from maintenance and support contracts is amortized to earnings ratably over the term of the service period. Prepaid expenses include prepayments of maintenance and support services that have been subcontracted out. These expenses are recognized ratably over the period that the services are provided. 

(iv) Reimbursable expenses
 
In providing services, the Company may incur expenses which are contractually reimbursable from customers. Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included at gross amounts as components of revenue and cost of sales. Expenses paid to the Company’s employees are recorded as cost of sales and amounts receivable from customers for reimbursable expenses are recorded as revenues.
 
(v) Interest and other income
 
Interest income is recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the financial instrument. Other income is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and/or the service has been provided, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection of the amount is reasonably assured.

Research and development costs
 
The Company incurs costs on activities that relate to research and development of new software. These costs are charged to earnings in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development expenditures are reduced by investment tax credits, related government grants and third party contract revenues. Investment tax credits arising from qualifying scientific research and experimental development expenditures are applied to reduce related research and development expenditures when the claims have been accepted by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

Stock-based compensation
 
The Company's stock-based compensation plan is described in Note 11(b). The Company uses the fair value method to measure compensation expense at the date of grant of stock options to employees and non-employees. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is amortized to earnings over the vesting period with an offset to Contributed Surplus. When options are exercised, the corresponding Contributed Surplus and the proceeds received by the Company are credited to Capital Stock.

If stock or stock options are repurchased from employees, the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock or stock option repurchased is charged to deficit.

2.        Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Foreign currency translation
 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Gains or losses resulting from such translations are included in income.

Transactions in foreign currencies throughout the year have been converted at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transactions.

The foreign operations of SI USA Inc. are considered to be integrated foreign operations of the Company, and are translated to Canadian dollars as described above.

Guarantees
 
A Company is required to disclose the nature of its obligations under guarantees, the maximum potential amount of future payments and the current carrying amount of the liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, which is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur.

The disclosure is required even if it is not probable those payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements.

Income taxes
 
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income taxes are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax basis, using the enacted and substantively enacted income tax rates for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is more likely than not they will be realized.

Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of earnings and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters such as asset valuations, impairment assessments, discounted liabilities, the fair value of the Company’s common shares, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Future accounting changes
 
(i) Financial instruments
 
In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments - Disclosures; Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation; and Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. All three Sections will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. Section 3862 on financial instruments disclosures, requires the disclosure of information about: a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance and b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. Section 3863 on the presentation of financial instruments establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives.

2.        Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
(i) Financial instruments (continued)
 
Section 1535 on capital disclosures requires the disclosure of information about an entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
 
(ii) Goodwill and intangible assets
 
In February 2008, the CICA issued Section 3064, Goodwill and intangible assets, replacing Section 3062, Goodwill and other intangible assets and Section 3450, Research and development costs. Various changes have been made to other sections of the CICA Handbook for consistency purposes. The new Section will be applicable to financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the new standard for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. It establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new Section on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new Section will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 
 
3.  Changes in accounting policies
 
The Company adopted the following recommendations of the CICA Handbook as of January 1, 2007:

 
a)
Section 3855, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. This Section describes the standards for recognizing and measuring financial instruments in the balance sheet and the standards for reporting gains and losses in the financial statements. Under the new standard, financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequently, financial instruments classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading, financial assets available-for-sale and derivative financial instruments, part of a hedging relationship or not, have to be measured at fair value on the balance sheet at each reporting date, whereas other financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
     
 
b)
Section 1530, Comprehensive Income. This Section describes reporting and disclosure recommendations with respect to comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is the change in Shareholders’ equity, which results from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-shareholder sources. These transactions and events include unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale and from foreign currency translation of self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries.
     
 
c)
Section 3861, Financial instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. This Section establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them.
     
 
d)
Section 3251, Equity. This Section establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period.

(in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
 
3.  Changes in accounting policies (continued)
 
The Company has made the following classifications in respect of its financial instruments:

 
·
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets held for trading and are measured at fair value.
 
·
Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables and are recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
·
Demand loan, capital leases, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt are classified as other liabilities and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

There was no effect on the opening deficit as at January 1, 2007, or on the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2007 as a result of adopting the changes in accounting policies noted above. Accordingly, a statement of accumulated other comprehensive income has not been provided.

The Company selected January 1, 2003 as its transition date for accounting for embedded derivatives. Based on a review of the Company’s financial instruments as at January 1, 2007, there were no embedded derivatives at that date that were required to be accounted for separately as derivatives.

Transaction costs
 
Transaction costs related to held for trading financial assets are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs related to available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity financial assets, other liabilities and loans and receivables are added to the carrying value of the asset or are netted against the carrying value of the liability and are then recognized over the expected life of the instrument using the effective interest method.

9.        Convertible debentures
 
On March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2005, the Company issued $6,400,000 and $3,550,000 convertible debentures (the “convertible debentures”), respectively. The convertible debentures had maturity dates of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and accrued interest at 8.5% per annum. The outstanding principal amount of the debentures, plus any unpaid and accrued interest thereon, were convertible into Class A Preferred shares at the option of the holder at any time up to the maturity date and had conversion rates of $1.4827 per share, with the exception of $1,100,000 of the convertible debentures which had a conversion rate of $0.5437 per share. The convertible debentures were secured by a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company.

The conversion feature required the bifurcation of the financial instrument into debt and equity components based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the debt was determined using discounted cash flows at an estimated cost of borrowing of 16%, which represented management’s estimate of what the Company could borrow secured debt without a conversion option. The fair value of the conversion option was determined as the residual between the principal amount of the convertible debentures and the fair value of the debt component. The resulting allocations resulted in an initial liability component of $7,858,808 and an equity component of $2,091,192.

Interest expense was recorded as a charge to income at the effective rate of 16%, with the difference between the coupon rate of 8.5% and the effective rate of 16% being credited to the carrying value of the liability component, such that, at maturity, the carrying value of the liability component would be equal to the face value of the then outstanding convertible debentures.

(a) Extinguishment of convertible debentures through repurchase
 
On February 28, 2007, the Company completed a transaction with Software Innovation ASA, a shareholder of the Company, for the license of software technology. The total consideration for this transaction was US$2,300,000 which included the cost of the licensed technology and the early settlement of Software Innovation ASA’s outstanding convertible debentures, which had a face value of $300,000, plus accrued interest of $52,497 at the time of settlement.

The Company adopted the guidance provided by EIC 96, "Accounting for the Early Extinguishment of Convertible securities through (1) early redemption or repurchase and (2) Induced Early Conversion" in accounting for the early extinguishment of the convertible debentures.

9.        Convertible debentures (continued)
 
(a) Extinguishment of convertible debentures through repurchase (continued)
 
Following the guidance provided by EIC 96, management allocated the consideration paid on extinguishment of the convertible security to the liability and equity components based on their relative fair values at the date of the transaction. The fair value of the debt as at February 28, 2007 was determined using discounted cash flows at an estimated cost of borrowing of 18%, which represented management’s estimate of the rate that the Company could borrow secured debt without a conversion option. The fair value of the conversion option was determined as the residual between the consideration paid to extinguish the face value of the convertible debenture plus accrued interest, less the fair value of the debt component at the date of settlement. The settlement of the convertible debenture resulted in a gain of $53,120 on the settlement of the liability component and an increase in deficit of $35,094 relating to the equity component calculated as follows:

(b) Early extinguishment of convertible debentures through induced early conversion
 
On June 11, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of $5,254,316 in the form of senior secured debentures as disclosed in Note 10. In order to secure this financing, the existing convertible debenture holders converted their convertible debentures into Class A common shares of the Company. The original conversion terms on the debentures were changed from 1.4827 to 0.5437 Class A common shares for each dollar of outstanding convertible debenture principal plus accrued interest. As of the closing date, debenture holders converted an aggregate of $9,650,000 of debenture principal together with $1,708,092 of accrued interest.

In accordance with EIC 96, management first calculated the total number of Class A common shares issued on conversion (20,890,370 Class A common shares), which included the 11,699,169 incremental Class A common shares that arose as a result of the change in conversion terms, as noted above. The estimated fair value of the incremental Class A common shares issued was determined to be $3,258,661 and was recorded as a capital transaction, resulting in an increase in share capital and a corresponding charge to deficit in the same amount.

9.        Convertible debentures (continued)
 
As noted above, the fair value of the debt as at February 28, 2007 was determined using discounted cash flows at an estimated cost of borrowing of 18%, which represented management’s estimate of what the Company could borrow secured debt without a conversion option. The fair value of the conversion option was determined as the residual between the consideration paid to extinguish the face value of the convertible debenture plus accrued interest, less the fair value of the debt component at the date of settlement. The settlement of the convertible debentures resulted in a gain of $211,408 on the settlement of the liability component, an increase in deficit of $3,472,757 (which includes the fair value of incremental consideration noted above) and an increase in share capital of $15,333,737 calculated as follows:

10.      Senior secured debentures
 
To finance the acquisition of the licensed software technology as described in Note 9(a), the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Arrangement with two existing investors who each advanced $1,500,000. The bridge loans carried an interest rate of 20% per annum, compounded on a semi-annual basis. Each of the lenders also received a $100,000 work fee as a condition to the bridge loan facility. Interest expense on the bridge loans for the year ended December 31, 2007 amounted to $369,316. On June 11, 2007, the principal amount of the bridge loans plus the accrued interest and work fees outstanding were converted into senior secured debentures (“senior debentures”).

On June 11, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of $5,254,316 ($4,885,000 net of the $369,316 bridge loan interest and work fee expense as noted above) in the form of senior debentures which carry no conversion features, bear interest at a rate of 12% compounded semi-annually, and mature on December 31, 2010. As an inducement to subscribe for the senior debentures, the Company issued Class A common shares equal to the principal amount of senior debentures subscribed for divided by 0.2648, for a total of 19,842,583 Class A common shares.

10.     Senior secured debentures (continued)
 
The pro-rata method was used to measure the liability and equity components of the financing separately, which adjusts these amounts so that the sum of the components equals the amount of the instrument as a whole.

The equity component was valued by assigning a fair value of $0.2788 per Class A common share, for a total value of $5,532,112. The debt component was valued by using discounted cash flows at an estimated cost of borrowing of 18%, which represented management’s estimate of what the Company could borrow secured debt without a conversion option. The total value assigned to the senior debentures was $4,480,034, for a total assigned value of $10,012,146. A discount was then applied to the debt and equity components based on their relative fair values to the total value assigned which resulted in a carrying value of the debt and equity issued at inception of $2,903,220 and $2,351,096, respectively.

Interest expense on the carrying value of the senior debentures is recorded as a charge to income at an effective rate of 36.1%, with the difference between the coupon rate of 12% and the effective rate of 36.1% being credited to the carrying value of the senior debentures such that, at maturity, the carrying value of the senior debentures would be equal to the face value of the then outstanding senior debentures. During the year, the Company recorded $583,403 of interest expense on the senior debentures and senior debenture interest payable amounted to $350,672 as at December 31, 2007.

The debentures are secured by a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company.

The carrying amount of the senior secured debentures as at December 31, 2007 is broken down as follows:

On August 30, 2004 the Company established the Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) for its directors, officers, employees and non-employees. The Board of Directors may designate which directors, officers, employees and non-employees of the Company are to be granted options. The exercise price is at a minimum the fair market value per common share on the date of grant and the option’s maximum term is ten years. An option granted under the Plan may vest at such times as the Board of Directors may determine, however options generally vest and become exercisable ratably over a four year period from the date the options are granted, with 25% vesting at the end of the first year, and 6.25% vesting quarterly over the remaining three years. In some cases certain options will vest immediately if criteria for vesting have been met.

12.      Income taxes
 
Due to operating losses, the Company is not currently taxable. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had income tax losses of approximately $3,300,000, which may be used to reduce future years' taxable income. The benefits resulting from these tax losses have not been recognized in these financial statements and have not been accepted and agreed to by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

As a result of certain transactions that the Company entered into during fiscal 2007, the Company has reduced its loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2007 by $5,532,963. Also, as described in Note 19 (a), loss carryforwards have been reduced by $1,145,000 as a result of a CRA audit.

These losses expire as follows:
   
$
 
       
2026
   
900,000
 
2027
   
2,400,000
 
     
3,300,000
 
         
During the year, the Company’s scientific research and experimental development (“SRED”) claims relating to prior fiscal years were accepted by the CRA and the Ontario Ministry of Finance and accordingly, the Company recorded a recovery of $793,502 to research and development expenses.

In addition to the above, the Company also has a pool of SRED expenditures of $1,855,000 federally and $3,354,128 provincially available as future tax deductions. These amounts can be carried forward indefinitely. The potential benefit of these items has not been reflected in these financial statements.

The Company has filed SRED claims totaling $991,958 for the 2007 fiscal year (Note 19 (b)).

14.      Guarantees
 
In the normal course of business the Company enters into a variety of agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee under Accounting Guideline-14, Disclosure of Guarantees (“AcG-14”). The following lists out significant guarantees:

Intellectual property indemnification obligations
 
The Company provides indemnifications of varying scope to its customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products. In the event of such a claim, the Company is generally obligated to defend its customers against the claim and is liable to pay damages and costs assessed against its customers that are payable as part of a final judgment or settlement. These intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses are not generally subject to any dollar limits and remain in force for the term of the license agreement with the customer. To date, the Company has not encountered any costs as a result of such indemnifications. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements.
 
Other indemnification agreements
 
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into various agreements that provide general indemnifications. These indemnifications typically occur in connection with purchases and sales of assets, service contracts, administration of employee benefit plans, retention of officers and directors, membership agreements and leasing transactions. These indemnifications require the Company, in certain circumstances, to compensate the counterparties for various costs resulting from breaches of representations or obligations under such arrangements, or as a result of third party claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction. Management believes that the likelihood that the Company could incur a significant liability under these obligations is remote. Historically, the Company has not made any payments under such indemnifications. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements.
 
15.     Economic dependence
 
Approximately 82% of the Company’s revenues were from two customers.

16.     Financial instruments
 
Fair value
 
The fair values of the Company’s current assets and liabilities are considered to be equivalent to their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these items. The Company is not party to any derivative financial instruments.

The carrying amount of the Company’s senior secured debentures (Note 10) approximates fair value based on the incremental rates of comparable borrowing arrangements available to the Company.

Credit risk
 
The Company is subject to credit risk through its accounts receivable. Credit risk is managed through credit evaluation, approval and monitoring. The Company maintains credit provisions for potential credit losses that are assessed on an ongoing basis. As at December 31, 2007, 90% of the trade receivable balance was due from three customers. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk relating to the remaining accounts receivable given the relative size of the individual customer amounts due to the Company.

Currency risk
 
Since the Company has accounts payable, cash and accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies, it is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
17.     Segment disclosures
 
The company reviews its operating results, assesses its performance, makes decisions about resources, and generates discrete financial information at the single enterprise level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one business segment providing integrated project collaboration and advanced document management solutions. The following table provides revenue information by geographic area.

Differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (continued)
 
Notes:

(A) Convertible debentures - accounting
 
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company's convertible debentures are classified as debt with a portion, representing the value associated with the conversion feature, being allocated to equity. In addition, under Canadian GAAP a non-cash interest expense representing the effective yield of the debt component is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding credit to the convertible debenture liability balance to accrete the balance to the principal due on maturity.

Under U.S. GAAP, the convertible debentures in their entirety are classified as debt. The non-cash interest expense recorded under Canadian GAAP would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP and accordingly, $224,131 of non-cash interest expense recognized during 2007 and $508,189 from fiscal periods prior to fiscal 2007 has been reversed. As the debentures were converted into shares during the year, a reclassification to liabilities from equity was not required at December 31, 2007.

Under U.S. GAAP, a portion of the convertible debentures were deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $1,100,000, which would have been recorded as an expense during fiscal 2005, the year during which the debenture was issued, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The beneficial conversion feature was determined in accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF 98-5”). EITF 98-5 requires that if a conversion feature is issued in the money (that is, at a value less than that of the market price of the share), it is considered a beneficial conversion option. As described in Note 9, $1,100,000 of convertible debentures were issued with a conversion rate of $0.5437, which was less than the fair market value of the shares of $1.48 at the time of issuance, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature.

(B) Early extinguishment of convertible debentures
 
As described in Note 9, under Canadian GAAP, the allocation of the consideration paid on extinguishment of the convertible security is based on the relative fair values of the debt and equity components at the settlement date, with the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the debt and equity components being recorded through income and deficit, respectively. Upon conversion, the Company recognized a gain of $264,528 on the debt component, which was recognized in income, and a loss of $249,190 on the equity component, which was recognized as an increase in the deficit. The transaction also resulted an increase in share capital of $12,075,076, which was offset by the decrease in the carrying value of the convertible debenture principal and accrued interest balances, as well as the holder option element which was initially recognized when the instrument was split into its debt and equity components at inception. Under Canadian GAAP, share capital was also increased by $3,258,661, representing the estimated fair market value of the 11,699,169 incremental shares issued in conjunction with the changed conversion terms as described in Note 9(b), with a corresponding increase in deficit.

18.     Differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (continued)
 
(B) Early extinguishment of convertible debentures (continued)
 
Under US GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to an inducement offer, the debtor enterprise shall recognize an expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. In accordance with this guidance, a settlement expense of $3,258,661 is to be recorded with a corresponding increase to share capital. In addition, under US GAAP, share capital would be credited by $11,358,094 which represented the principal and accrued interest on the convertible debentures at the time of settlement.

(C) Stock-based compensation
 
The Company estimates its stock-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As allowed by Canadian GAAP, a nominal volatility factor used as the Company is a private company.

Under U.S. GAAP a reasonable volatility factor must be determined by assessing company and industry specific factors. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company has determined a volatility factor of 51.9% which results in an additional $74,625 in stock-based compensation expense during 2007 and an increase in the 2007 opening deficit of $222,287, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In November 2007, the FASB agreed to a one year deferral of the effective date for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the anticipated impact SFAS 157 will have on the results of its operations and financial condition once effective.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”), effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. SFAS 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the anticipated impact SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial condition once effective.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which is the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The objective of SFAS 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements as it relates to non-controlling interests in entities. The Company is currently not impacted by SFAS 160 as it has a controlling interest in SI USA Inc.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which is the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

The objective of SFAS 141R is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the anticipated impact SFAS 141R will have on its results of operations and financial condition once effective.

In April 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142. The purpose of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. Accordingly, entities are required to disclose information for a recognized intangible asset that enables users of the financial statements to assess the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entities intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. For the Company, FSP No. 142-3 is effective January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
19.     Subsequent events
 
(a) CRA income tax audit
 
On March 6, 2008, the CRA delivered to the Company a proposal letter for review summarizing the results of the audit of the Company’s income tax filings for the 2003 to 2006 taxation periods. As a result of the audit, the CRA has disallowed deductions totaling approximately $1,145,000 which the Company had taken in its previously filed tax returns. While the Company is still in negotiations with the CRA in respect of the disallowed deductions, the impact of the disallowed deductions will be to reduce the Company’s loss carryforwards by a corresponding amount as at December 31, 2007, and has been reflected in Note 12.

(b) Purchase by Acorn Energy Inc.
 
On March 14, 2008 the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “loan”) for a principal amount of $1,000,000 USD with Acorn Energy, Inc.  (“Acorn Energy”), a publicly traded Delaware holding company (NASDAQ - ACFN), pursuant to a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated February 22, 2008.  The loan ranks senior to all other debt, is secured by a general security interest over the assets of the Company, bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity of December 31, 2010.  The LOI was amended June 3, 2008 and the loan principal was increased by $500,000 USD to $1,500,000 USD.  All other terms of the loan remained unchanged.    

On August 13, 2008, Acorn Energy acquired 100% of the common stock of the Company consisting of 43,183,913 Class A common shares and also retired all of the outstanding senior debentures which were held by former shareholders, with an aggregate principal amount of $5,254,316.  The total consideration in respect of this transaction was valued at approximately $7,300,000 USD.  In addition, the former shareholders of the Company will also be entitled to a portion of the Company’s 2007 SRED claim (Note 12) if received within six months of the closing date.

As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to take all actions necessary under the Software Innovation Inc. 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to cause the plan, consisting of 4,608,150 options outstanding, to be terminated as of the closing date.

Coreworx Inc.
Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
(in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted)
 

1.
Description of business
 
On May 22, 2008, the name of the company was changed from Software Innovation Inc. to Coreworx Inc. Coreworx Inc. (the “Company”) is a privately owned corporation, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Ontario. The Company was formed through the amalgamation of SI Investment Holdings Inc., 612388 N.B. Inc. and Software Innovation Inc. on May 11, 2004. The Company is a leading provider of integrated project collaboration and advanced document management solutions for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction markets, particularly for large capital projects.
   
2.
Significant accounting policies
 
The significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed within the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 except for those outlined in Note 3 below. These interim financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) for annual financial statements and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements prepared for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
   
3.
Changes in accounting policies
 
In December 2006, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued new accounting standards comprised of CICA Handbook sections 1535 “Capital Disclosures”, 3862 “Financial Instruments - Disclosures” and 3863 “Financial Instruments - Presentation”, all of which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. In accordance with the transitional provisions the Company has adopted these standards prospectively and, accordingly, prior period balances have not been restated.
   
 
Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, requires disclosure of both qualitative and quantitative information that enables users of the financial statements to evaluate the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital. It also includes disclosure with respect to what the Company regards as capital, whether the Company has complied with any external capital requirements and the consequences of not complying with these capital requirements.
   
 
Section 3862, “Financial Instruments - Disclosures”, requires additional disclosure to enhance the users’ ability to evaluate the significance of the Company’s financial instruments and the nature and extent of risks associated with the financial instruments and how the Company manages those risks.
   
 
Section 3863, “Financial Instruments - Presentation”, carries forward, unchanged, the requirements of Section 3861 “Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation” of the CICA Handbook.
   
 
Generally, the purpose of these new standards is to enhance disclosure requirements. Accordingly, they do not have a financial impact on the Company.

The Company has determined that the fair value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their respective carrying amounts as at the balance sheet dates because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.
   
  The fair value of the long term debt was calculated based on the present value of future cash flows.

Financial risk management
   
 
This section provides disclosures relating to the nature and extent of the Company’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, and how the Company manages those risks.
   
 
Credit risk
   
 
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises primarily from the Company’s accounts receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial assets as disclosed in Note 10 represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure.

Financial risk management (continued)
   
 
Liquidity risk
   
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business including proposals on major investments. Recently, the Company has obtained additional financing via senior secured debentures and advances from Acorn Energy, Inc. The Company’s financial liabilities include the demand loan, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital leases, Acorn Energy, Inc. advances, interest payable on Acorn Energy, Inc. advances, and the senior secured debentures and related interest. The demand loan is discussed in Note 5. The maturity dates for the other financial liabilities is as follows:
   
 
  Demand loan  Due on demand
  Advance from Acorn Energy, Inc.  December 31, 2010
  Senior secured debentures  December 31, 2010 (Note 17)
     
  Foreign currency risk
   
  The Company’s functional and reporting currency is Canadian dollars. Foreign currency risk is primarily related to the sale of licenses and professional services in US dollars and Australian dollars. For the Company’s foreign currency transactions, fluctuations in the respective exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar will create volatility in the Company’s cash flows and the reported amounts for sales and cost of goods sold in its consolidated statement of operations, on a period-to-period basis. Additional earnings variability arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars at the rates of exchange at each balance sheet date, the impact of which is reported as a foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of operations. The Company’s sales are transacted in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars and Australian dollars.
   
  With a 1% decrease in the exchange rate from US dollars to Canadian dollars net loss would decrease by $14,798 with the change in value of financial instruments denominated in US dollars as detailed in the following table:

Interest rate risk
   
 
As described in Note 5, the advance from Acorn Energy Inc. bears a fixed interest rate of 12% and matures on December 31, 2010. Consequently, the cash flow exposure is not significant but the fair value of the advance is subject to change with changes in prevailing interest rates.
   
 
The demand loan bears interest at prime plus 1.5%. Changes in the interest rate will not significantly affect the monthly interest expense incurred by the Company.
   
12.
Capital disclosures
   
 
The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure sufficient liquidity to pursue its growth strategy. The Company’s capital is composed of net debt and capital deficiency. Net debt consists of interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s primary uses of capital are to finance increases in non-cash working capital and capital expenditures for capacity expansion.
   
 
The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a regulator.

Guarantees
 
In the normal course of business the Company enters into a variety of agreements that may contain features that meet the definition of a guarantee under Accounting Guideline-14, Disclosure of Guarantees (“AcG-14”). The following lists out significant guarantees:
   
 
Intellectual property indemnification obligations
   
 
The Company provides indemnifications of varying scope to its customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products. In the event of such a claim, the Company is generally obligated to defend its customers against the claim and is liable to pay damages and costs assessed against its customers that are payable as part of a final judgment or settlement. These intellectual property infringement indemnification clauses are not generally subject to any dollar limits and remain in force for the term of the license agreement with the customer. To date, the Company has not encountered any costs as a result of such indemnifications. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements.

Guarantees (continued)
   
 
Other indemnification agreements
   
 
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into various agreements that provide general indemnifications. These indemnifications typically occur in connection with purchases and sales of assets, service contracts, administration of employee benefit plans, retention of officers and directors, membership agreements and leasing transactions. These indemnifications require the Company, in certain circumstances, to compensate the counterparties for various costs resulting from breaches of representations or obligations under such arrangements, or as a result of third party claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction. Management believes that the likelihood that the Company could incur a significant liability under these obligations is remote. Historically, the Company has not made any payments under such indemnifications. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements.

Notes:
   
 
(A) Convertible debentures - accounting
 
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company's convertible debentures are classified as debt with a portion, representing the value associated with the conversion feature, being allocated to equity. In addition, under Canadian GAAP a non-cash interest expense representing the effective yield of the debt component is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding credit to the convertible debenture liability balance to accrete the balance to the principal due on maturity.
   
 
Under U.S. GAAP, the convertible debentures in their entirety are classified as debt. The non-cash interest expense recorded under Canadian GAAP would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP and accordingly, $224,131 of non-cash interest expense recognized during 2007 and $508,189 from fiscal periods prior to fiscal 2007 has been reversed. As the debentures were converted into shares during the year, a reclassification to liabilities from equity was not required at December 31, 2007.
   
 
Under U.S. GAAP, a portion of the convertible debentures were deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $1,100,000, which would have been recorded as an expense during fiscal 2005, the year during which the debenture was issued, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. The beneficial conversion feature was determined in accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF 98-5”). EITF 98-5 requires that if a conversion feature is issued in the money (that is, at a value less than that of the market price of the share), it is considered a beneficial conversion option. As described in Note 9, $1,100,000 of convertible debentures were issued with a conversion rate of $0.5437, which was less than the fair market value of the shares of $1.48 at the time of issuance, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature.

16.
Differences between Canadian and Unites States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (continued)
   
 
(B) Early extinguishment of convertible debentures
   
 
As described in Note 9 of the annual financial statements, under Canadian GAAP, the allocation of the consideration paid on extinguishment of the convertible security is based on the relative fair values of the debt and equity components at the settlement date, with the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the debt and equity components being recorded through income and deficit, respectively. Upon conversion, the Company recognized a gain of $264,528 on the debt component, which was recognized in income, and a loss of $249,190 on the equity component, which was recognized as an increase in the deficit. The transaction also resulted an increase in share capital of $12,075,076, which was offset by the decrease in the carrying value of the convertible debenture principal and accrued interest balances, as well as the holder option element which was initially recognized when the instrument was split into its debt and equity components at inception. Under Canadian GAAP, share capital was also increased by $3,258,661, representing the estimated fair market value of the 11,699,169 incremental shares issued in conjunction with the changed conversion terms as described in Note 9(b) of the annual financial statements, with a corresponding increase in deficit.
   
 
Under US GAAP, when convertible debt is converted to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to an inducement offer, the debtor enterprise shall recognize an expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. In accordance with this guidance, a settlement expense of $3,258,661 is to be recorded with a corresponding increase to share capital. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, share capital would be credited by $11,358,094 which represented the principal and accrued interest on the convertible debentures at the time of settlement.
   
 
(C) Stock-based compensation
   
 
The Company estimates its stock-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Under Canadian GAAP, a nominal volatility factor was used as the Company is a private company.
   
 
Under U.S. GAAP a reasonable volatility factor must be determined by assessing company and industry specific factors. For U.S. GAAP purposes the Company has determined a volatility factor of 51.9% which results in an additional $20,408 (2007 - $35,448) in stock-based compensation expense during 2007 and an increase in the 2007 opening deficit of $344,661, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.
   
17.
Subsequent event
   
 
Purchase by Acorn Energy Inc.
   
 
On March 14, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “loan”) for a principal amount of $1,000,000 USD with Acorn Energy, Inc.  (“Acorn Energy”), a publicly traded Delaware holding company (NASDAQ - ACFN), pursuant to a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated February 22, 2008.  The loan ranks senior to all other debt, is secured by a general security interest over the assets of the Company, bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and has a maturity of December 31, 2010.  The LOI was amended June 3, 2008 and the loan principal was increased by $500,000 USD to $1,500,000 USD.  All other terms of the loan remained unchanged.
   
 
On August 13, 2008, Acorn Energy acquired 100% of the common stock of the Company consisting of 43,183,913 Class A common shares and also retired all of the outstanding senior debentures which were held by former shareholders, with an aggregate principal amount of $5,254,316.  The total consideration in respect of this transaction was valued at approximately $7,300,000 USD.  In addition, the former shareholders of the Company will also be entitled to a portion of the Company’s 2007 SRED claim if received within six months of the closing date.

Subsequent event (continued)
   
 
As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to take all actions necessary under the Software Innovation Inc. 2004 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to cause the plan, consisting of 4,608,150 options outstanding, to be terminated as of the closing date.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition by Acorn Energy, Inc. (“Acorn”) of all the issued and outstanding shares of Coreworx, Inc. (“Coreworx”) on August 13, 2008 in a transaction accounted for as a purchase business combination.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet") as of June 30, 2008 has been prepared as if the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2008. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Acorn, which is the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Acorn included in Acorn’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2008 and the uanaudited balance sheet of Coreworx, which is included herein, at June 30, 2008, and gives effect to the unaudited pro forma adjustments necessary to account for the acquisition as a purchase.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (the "Pro Forma Statements of Operations") have been prepared as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2007. These Pro Forma Statements of Operations combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Acorn for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in Acorn’s Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 and the historical consolidated statement of operations the six months ended June 30, 2008 included in Acorn’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2008, , with the historical consolidated statements of operations of Coreworx for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which are included herein, and give effect to the unaudited pro forma adjustments necessary to account for the acquisition as a purchase.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on an estimated purchase price and preliminary purchase price allocation made based on available information and assumptions that Acorn believes are reasonable. Therefore, the amounts in the Pro Forma Statements of Operations and Pro Forma Balance Sheet and accompanying notes (collectively, the "Pro Forma Financial Information") are subject to change which could be material. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the Pro Forma Financial Information. The Pro Forma Financial Information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what Acorn’s results of operations or financial position would actually have been, had the acquisition occurred on such dates, nor does it purport to project the results of operations or financial position of Acorn for any future period or date.

The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by reference to, the audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Acorn and Coreworx which are incorporated herein by reference and included herein, respectively.

ACORN ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 1

To consolidate Coreworx equity and to record the preliminary allocation of the purchase price over the historical net assets of Coreworx at June 30, 2008.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, the assets and liabilities of Coreworx are required to be adjusted to their fair values. The estimated purchase price of $7,326 is the sum of the following: (i) $2,500 representing the cash consideration for the shares of Coreworx, (ii) $3,400 representing the principal amount of 8% one-year promissory notes (iii) $1,233 representing the market value of the 287,500 shares of Acorn common stock issued to the former shareholders of Coreworx (based on the average market price of Acorn shares on the date of the announcement of the transaction and for the two days before and after the announcement in accordance with EITF 99-12 “Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination”) and (iv) $193 of estimated transaction costs (of which $92 is included in Other Assets at June 30, 2008 and $101 is deemed paid from cash). The $2,500 of cash and the $3,400 principal amount of the one-year notes were contributed by Acorn to the capital of Coreworx and were delivered by Coreworx to the holders of Coreworx’s debentures in full payment and satisfaction of all principal and accrued interest outstanding on such debentures.

A contingent payment of one-half of the expected net receipt (less fees) by Coreworx of monies due from the Canada Revenue Agency or the Ontario Ministry of Finance in connection with Coreworx’s 2007 scientific research and experimental development tax credit refund claim or Ontario innovation tax credit refund claim for 2007 (collectively, the “SRED Claim”) during the six (6) months immediately following the closing date, is not included in the purchase price as the receipt of the SRED Claim is less than beyond a reasonable doubt.

The final purchase price will be dependent upon the actual amount of the SRED refund (if any) and the actual transaction costs.

The following pro forma adjustments give effect to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired based upon available information. These adjustments are subject to the determination of the final purchase price as described above and completion of the valuations as of the date of consummation of the acquisition. Valuations of the specifically identifiable intangible assets are in progress. Consequently, the actual allocation of the purchase price could differ materially from that presented below.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration and subsequent investment totaling $7,326 is allocated to Coreworx’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the transaction. The purchase price is preliminarily allocated to Coreworx’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows:

Under US GAAP, in a business combination, revenue that appropriately has been deferred by the acquired enterprise may not represent an assumed liability, or the fair value of the assumed liability may be different from the amount of the deferred revenue on the acquired enterprise's balance sheet. The acquiring enterprise should recognize a liability for the deferred revenue only if the deferredrevenue represents a legal performance obligation assumed by the acquiring enterprise. The amount assigned to that liability should be based on its fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of an assumed liability related to deferred revenue, would include the direct and incremental cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin. Accordingly, deferred revenues on Coreworx’s balance sheet have been reduced by $653.

Prior to the purchase of the Coreworx shares, Acorn contributed to the capital of Coreworx $2,500 in cash and $3,400 aggregate principal amount of its 8% one-year promissory notes. The cash and notes were delivered by Coreworx to the holders of Coreworx’s debentures in full payment and satisfaction of all principal and accrued interest outstanding on such debentures. Accordingly, the $3,975 balance of Senior Secured Debentures and interest payable were removed from the June 30, 2008 balance sheet of Coreworx prior to the transaction.

In-process research and development, or IPRD, represents Coreworx’s research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use when acquired. The Company estimates that approximately $551 of the purchase price may represent purchased in-process technology. This is a preliminary estimate that is subject to change. Due to its non-recurring nature, the IPRD expense has been excluded from the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations. The IPRD cost (if any) will be expensed in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in year ended December 31, 2008.

For purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Information, the estimated amount of goodwill generated by the transaction of $3,693 is not amortized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Any adjustment to the estimated purchase price of $7,326 would result in a similar adjustment to the estimated goodwill generated by the transaction. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over that period. The acquired intangible assets with estimable useful lives include approximately $881 for the estimated fair market value of Coreworx’s customer contracts and relationships and approximately $2,628 for the estimated fair market value of Coreworx’s software. The weighted average estimated useful life of these amortizable intangible assets is approximately 14.5 years. For every $1,000 increase or decrease, amortization expense may increase or decrease by approximately $69 based on the estimated weighted average useful life of intangible assets of 14.5 years.

To record the elimination of intercompany debt (principal and interest) of $1,540 between Acorn and Coreworx at June 30, 2008.
