ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Description and Development of Business

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar references are in U.S. Dollars.

On July 21, 1998, Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc., a Colorado corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, under the name of Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. On April 23, 1999, the Corporation changed its name to “Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.”  Westsphere Asset Corporation is referred to herein as “Westsphere”, “the Corporation” “we” and “our”.

Since 2000, the Corporation’s business focus has been on opportunities afforded in the “non-conventional banking industry” and sought out opportunities available to the Corporation that through acquisitions of equity positions within operating corporations or the establishment of wholly owned subsidiary companies that would assist in the asset growth of the Corporation particularly those opportunities afforded by Vencash Capital Corporation.

 “Non-Conventional Banking Business” is described as business related activities which would be normally associated in Canada with a registered chartered bank or bank affiliated financial institution but is privately owned and operated and not affiliated with a Canadian Chartered Bank.

Westsphere has no ongoing business operations other then acting as a holding Corporation.  


General Description and Development of Subsidiary Corporation Business


VENCASH CAPITAL CORPORATION

Vencash Capital Corporation was incorporated in the province of Alberta, Canada on October 2, 1996.  In July 1998 Vencash Capital Corporation entered into the “non-conventional banking industry” otherwise known in the industry as the “white label” ATM market place. Vencash Capital became the seventh (7th) Canadian “channel” authorized to participate within the Canadian INTERAC system.  

The “white label” ATM market place is described as privately owned and operated Automated Teller Machines that dispense cash for a fee, which are not affiliated by ownership or operation to Canadian Registered Chartered Banks.  A “channel” is described as a provider of audit control to ATM customers, ATM equipment owners and ATM site providers by channeling the fee revenues generated through customer usage of the ATM equipment to the settlement accounts of the contracted site holder and equipment suppliers.   

On December 4, 1998 after a review of opportunities in the Canadian market, available due to the deregulation of the Canada Bank Act and the privatization of ATMs (“Automated Teller Machines”) and POS (“point-of-sale”) electronic transfer transaction processing, Westsphere entered into an option agreement with an arms-length shareholder of Vencash Capital, 3 Oceans Investment Corporation, a Belize corporation, to acquire a minority interest in Vencash Capital Corporation (“Vencash Capital”).   


The option agreement called for the exchange by the Corporation of a total of 4,800,000 shares of its common stock for 8 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of Vencash Capital, which related to 8% of the common stock of Vencash Capital.  The option agreement included the assignment of a promissory note in the amount of $30,720 ($48,000 CDN).  The Corporation exercised its right under the option agreement on December 12, 1998 and exchanged 4,800,000 shares of its common stock with 3 Oceans Investment Corporation.


On December 7, 1998, the Corporation executed a share exchange with Mac Donald Venture Corporation, Mr. Joseph Bowser and Mr. Robert L. Robins to exchange a total of 4,800,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock in exchange for a 33% interest in Vencash Capital. The share exchange included the



4




assignment of a promissory note in the amount of $3,480 ($6,000 CDN).  The exchange of shares was completed on December 12, 1998.  See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”.  


At the time of this transaction, Westsphere had no operations or significant assets.  Prior to such agreement, Westsphere's only affiliation with Vencash was through Mr. Mac Donald and Mr. Robins, who were officers and directors of both companies.


On December 17, 1999, Westsphere acquired the remaining fifty-nine percent (59%) of Vencash Capital from various arms-length shareholders of Vencash Capital by way of a share exchange whereby Westsphere issued a total of 1,770,000 common shares in exchange for 59 shares of the common stock of Vencash Capital.


Vencash Capital maintains offices at 2140 Pegasus Way N.E., Calgary, AB T2E 8M5.  As of December 31, 2005, Vencash Capital has sites located nationally across Canada and holds under management 925 automated teller machines (“ATMs”) sites in Canada, most notably in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Maritimes.  A “site” is described as a location where an ATM has been placed, and has contracted with Vencash Capital to provide monitoring, reporting and distribution of financial surcharge transaction revenues.


Of the 925 ATM’s sites managed by Vencash, 138 are owned by Vencash Capital and Westsphere Capital Group and the balance are owned by private purchases or investors.  Vencash Capital is one of several nation-wide companies involved in the private ATM market in Canada and presently has two distributors in the Maritime region in Canada, three independent distributors in the Metro Toronto area of Ontario, Canada, two distributors in the Province of Saskatchewan, one distributor in Kamloops, British Columbia and one distributor in the Greater Vancouver, British Columbia area.


Vencash head office operations are located in Calgary, Alberta with several contracted sales persons and three service and system technicians.


The expansion of the present operations of Vencash Capital have allowed for some horizontal integration of other opportunities for the Corporation to supply financial services and packages, which have been  marketed in conjunction with the ATM placement network.  (See “-Business of Vencash Capital Corporation” below.)


VENCASH FINANCIAL CORPORATION

On September 23, 1998, Vencash Capital incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Vencash Financial Corporation ("Vencash Financial"), as a federal corporation under the laws of Canada, in order to secure and protect the "Vencash" name in all Provincial jurisdictions in Canada.  Vencash Financial conducts no actual business activities.

KAN-CAN RESORTS LTD.

On June 1, 1999, Westsphere acquired a 10% interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. from Lee Beasley and William Beasley by way of a share exchange whereby Westsphere exchanged a total of 290,000 common shares of Westsphere for 69,500 common shares of Kan Can Resorts Ltd.

Switching services allowing Vencash Capital to participate within the Canadian INTERAC system as a channel. Vencash also contracts with Triton Systems, Inc. who supplies ATM equipment. (See "Other Requested InformationData West Solutions,-Contract, Calypso Canada Ltd. Contract - Triton Systems, Inc. contract").


ATM Business in Canada

(a) Background of the ATM Business

In the latter part of 1997 the Canadian Banking and Financial sectors of Canadian industry commenced a government deregulation program in which under deregulation of the Canada Bank Act allowed for the release of certain segments of proprietary control involving banking institutions. One of the preliminary results of deregulation was the allowance of private operation of Automated Teller Machines not associated with Canadian Banking financial institutions. This private ownership and operation of ATM equipment has been described within the industry as the "white label ATM" market.

Canadian Banking Institutions have been participating in the development of new technology particularly in regard to online computer banking. Advances originating from the introduction of credit card and debit card services evolved to the installation of commercial point of sale management systems across the country and the development of the Canadian INTERAC system which allowed for complete online banking services for 24-hour customer banking availability between the various existing banking institutions. This also provided for full bank service availability from remote site locations throughout Canada.

Evolving online financial technology being pursued by the institutional banking financial sectors has been confronted by growth of computer-based commerce. The Internet and the expansion of computer generated online commerce shifted a significant amount of consumer financial services from conventional banking and financial institutions to non traditional and new and innovative virtual based methods of conducting financial transactions. This on-line or Interac connecting the conventional banking institutions were a significant factor for the profits being produced by Canadian conventional banking and financial institutions in the past five years.

In late 1997 "non-conventional banking" participation and private ownership of automated teller machines (ATMs) was authorized, through the deregulation process within the Canada Bank Act that allows for private participation within the Canadian INTERAC system. The implications of private ownership and participation within this technologically based commerce have been significant.

Many Canadian companies pursued participation in the burgeoning field of marketing, distribution, selling, and leasing cash dispensing equipment recognized in the market place as "ATMs" (automated teller machines), "ABMs" (automated banking machines), "white label machines" (a cash dispensing machine which is not owned or operated by a Conventional Banking institution but is privately owned and operated).

A "switch" is a computer system that receives requests for financial transactions from ATM terminals, "point-of-sale" or electronic transfer terminals in retail businesses, and routes those transaction requests to and from ATM devices and financial institutions for final transaction processing and/or authorization. In Canada, the Canadian INTERAC network coordinates this activity. Under recent deregulation, non-financial institutions that are members of INTERAC are allowed to be an indirect connector. They provide switching services for shared cash dispensing, data processing, and other associated services in connection with the network. Pursuant to the rules and regulations set out by INTERAC and current switch technology, a switch can process up to 10,000 transactions at any given time.

The Entry of Vencash into the ATM Business

Vencash Capital identified the opportunities brought about by the privatization of the ATM business. During December 1997, the first privately owned ATMs were placed in Western Canada. In July 1998, Vencash Capital entered the "white label" ATM market place. Vencash contracted with TNS Smart Network Inc. of Etobicoke, Ontario, a Corporation providing switching services to the industry and became the 7th Canadian Channel authorized to participate within the "white label" ATM business.

By March 1999, Vencash Capital had placed and held under its management 90 ATMs across Canada, primarily in the Provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.   Westsphere reached an agreement with Vencash Capital to fund by way of lease and loan agreements the expansion of Vencash's placement of ATMs. By the year-end of 1999, through Westsphere's financial assistance, Vencash expanded management and ownership of ATMs across Canada, increasing its network to the Maritime Provinces by establishing two new distributorships, one in Prince Edward Island and one in New Brunswick.

By December 2005, Vencash Capital had sites located nationally across Canada and held under management 932 automated teller machines (“ATMs”) sites in Canada.  As of March 31, 2006, Vencash Capital holds sites under management 925 ATM nationally across Canada most notably in the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Maritimes.  Of the 925 ATM’s managed by Vencash, 138 are owned by Vencash Capital and the balances are owned by private purchases or investors.

Vencash Capital is one of several nation-wide companies involved in the private ATM market in Canada and presently has two distributors in the Maritime region in Canada, three independent distributors in the Metro Toronto area of Ontario, Canada, one distributor in the Province of Saskatchewan, one distributor in Kamloops, British Columbia and one distributor in the Greater Vancouver, British Columbia area.

At present, Vencash Capital acts as a "channel" which contracts its financial electronic transfer responsibilities with two "switches" (Data West Solutions and Calypso Canada Ltd.).  It is the Corporations principal intention to develop the capability to develop its own self sufficient "switch" associated directly with the Canadian INTERAC network.

A "switch" is described as a financial currency processor of moneys including customer deposits being dispensed by ATM or POS (“Point of Sale”) equipment combined with all fees charged associated to the dispensing of the money from the ATM at the request of a customer, and provides settlements to Interac Direct Payment and credit card transactions. The "switch" supplies the financial information to the "channel" in relationship to the processing of all surcharge fees that are associated with the customer use of the ATM. The opportunities for Vencash to become a switch are of foremost importance to management and they continue to give this project the highest priority.


Current Stage of Corporate Development

Vencash Capital will continue to generate significant positive revenues and returns and historically has been the financial engine driving the expansion of both Vencash Capital and other Westsphere subsidiaries from its cash flow.  Westsphere will focus on supplying the required funding for the growth of its placement and ownership of equipment to Vencash customers through its relationship with its equipment supplier and it’s contracted Switching Network to allow for the growth of the Vencash distribution network as well as capitalization of its own switch development.  


Growth Strategy & Market Niche

Vencash management's plan is to continue to our organic growth within the ATM market place as follows:



10




a. In 2006 Vencash will look into the management of its ATM estate in the Canadian Marketplace.  Grow where we find opportunities and focus on maximizing our returns from the existing financial footprint Vencash holds presently.

b. To focus the Corporations efforts to become a non-financial institutional member of INTERAC and an indirect connector either directly or through a joint venture. This will allow Vencash to provide switching services for shared cash dispensing, data processing and other associated services in connection with the network, switches, gateways and operation of electronic data capture equipment, including but not limited to ATMs and point of sales terminals.

c. To continue to grow the regional distribution network in both sales and servicing of ATM's and POS.


The Canadian ATM's Market

In late 1997 "non-conventional banking" participation and private ownership of automated teller machines (ATMs) was authorized allowing for participation within the "Canadian INTERAC system". The "Canadian Interac Association" is a national organization linking enterprises that have proprietary networks to communicate with each other for the purposes of exchanging electronic financial transactions. Five (5) Canadian Banking and Financial Institutions founded the association in 1984. As of March 2006 there were 88 member organizations. Interac is the organization responsible for the development of a national network of shared electronic financial services: Interac Shared Cash Dispensing Service (SCD) at Automated Banking Machines and Interac Direct Payment Services (IDP), Canada's national debit service. Interac Direct Payment is Canada's national debit card service, available in excess of 365,616 merchants across the country.

The business opportunities originating for private ownership and operation of ATM within the Interac system from Canada Bank Act deregulation in 1998 is definitely past its infancy and has matured over the past several years.  With the maturity of the business, acceptance of the white label ATM placement has become normal, routine and expected and although mature in nature market saturation is not yet comparable to the United States market experience.

The Canadian market, enhanced by national access to all regions within Canada through the Interac System allows for the opportunity for Westsphere to continue organic growth through sales and its distribution networks.

Competitors

(a) Direct Cash - is Canada's largest ATM company in operation. They have offices and distribution centers in all of the major cities across Canada.

(b) Frisco Bay - a large ATM corporation with integrated business operations which supplies security systems to major financial corporations and the banking industry.  

(c) Laser Cash - is another large ATM operator in service. This Corporation also has distribution across Canada with head office in Mississauga, Ontario.

(d) Cash-Line - A Victoria, B.C. based Corporation with ATM machines in service primarily across Western Canada

(e) Ezee Cash – An Ontario and Quebec centered ATM company that has a national presence.

f) Several regional and National Companies - these Companies compete on a regional basis with Vencash’s Regional Distributor network and Nationally with Vencash Corporately.

Competitive Advantages

2006 will see continued consolidation in the white-label ATM marketplace.  This will result in several large national organizations vying for marketplace dominance.  The management of Vencash will continue to make calculated decisions to expand the business operations of Vencash by continuing to support our partnership program with our Distribution Network.  Although the sourcing of acquisitions and business consolidation has been quite active in Canada it is presently not deemed to be the method of growth Westsphere and Vencash are particularly inclined to look to.  Vencash management will continue to utilize selective placement and monitoring of ATM's, to obtain maximum value for placement and a higher percentage return per terminal per placement. The Corporation is one of the few companies in Canada actively pursuing the newly deregulated POS market and this is a part of the business which Vencash is most interested in pursuing.

The Canadian marketplace has demonstrated that ATM site owners are most receptive to positive and dependable customer service.  With an Administrative and Operational and Service mechanism second to none Vencash has over the past two years increased its marketing and distribution network development, with expansion planned in Vencash established areas of influence as well as expansion outside of those areas.

Service and information dissemination will continue to be the priority for the management team, every employee, distributor and strategic partner. Information processing and communications systems will integrate all components of our internal and external operations.

On June 08, 1998, Vencash Capital Corporation signed a supply agreement with Triton Systems, Inc., its ATM manufacturer and supplier of choice.  The agreement has pricing schedules based on Vencash volume purchase requirements.

Vencash Capital has processing agreements with the as following:

Open Solutions formerly known as Data West and TCS (Canada) Ltd), executed June 24, 1999.

Calypso Canada Ltd. executed originally August 1999 and renegotiated in December 2003.

Vencash Capital presently has eleven (11) distributors of its equipment, products and services, under contract across Canada and two (2) contracted sales person in Vancouver, B.C. and five (5) contracted sales persons in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Vencash Capital is one of several nation-wide companies involved in the private ATM market in Canada. The expansion of the present operations of Vencash Capital will allow for vertical integration of other opportunities for the Corporation to supply financial services and packages, which can be marketed in conjunction with the ATM placement network

The private "white label" ATM business is highly competitive. The Corporation faces competition from large numbers of companies engaged in the selling and servicing of ATM products in all areas in which it may attempt to operate in the future. Many of the programs and companies so engaged possess greater financial and personnel resources than the Corporation and therefore have greater leverage to use in developing technologies, establishing markets, acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and marketing. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue. The major banks in Canada could aggressively enter the "white label" market and the Corporation could not overcome or compete with them due to their financial and corporate strength.

The Corporation has a large customer base and a large geographical area in which to market its products.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to channels as set forth by the INTERAC network system.

b. Business of Westsphere Financial Group Ltd.

Upon Management’s 2004 review, reorganization and consolidation of its’ business operations the Corporation suspended all business operations related to the distribution, software injection and key coding related to  point placement on the Switch.  The sale and distribution systems remain ongoing

through the Corporations controlled subsidiary TRAC POS Processing Inc and the corporate shell was sold in May 2005 after being inactive for six months.

c. Business of Kan-Can Resorts Ltd.

Kan-Can acquired 332 acres of recreational land located on a Province Government Head Lease located near the City of Canmore in the Province of Alberta, Canada. The annual cost of the lease was approximately $5,300 with lease expiry and renewal scheduled for October 31, 2004.

Alpine was created as a limited partnership with Kan-Can appointed as the General Partner and owning 74% of Alpine Resort Haven Ltd. ("Alpine"). Alpine constructed and operated a time-share resort on the leased land. Alpine was petitioned into bankruptcy in April 2000. On October 19, 2001, Westsphere purchased an additional 57% interest in Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. from 347830 Alberta Ltd.  Westsphere became a majority owner of 67% interest after the acquisition. Westsphere then became a 99% owner of Kan Can through a settlement reached with a corporation established by some of Alpine Resort’s timeshare owners.


On November 26, 2001, Kan-Can sold the Head Lease to the property for $465,087 ($740,000 CDN) along with Kan-Can common stock equaling 32% of the outstanding shares before the transaction.  A mortgage bearing an interest rate of 4.5% with monthly payments (principal and interest) of $5,720 ($8,982 CDN), is accounted for by the Corporation as a debt investment being held to maturity.  The shares received were returned to treasury and cancelled.  As a result of this transaction, the Corporation’s ownership percentage of Kan-Can increased by 99% and the Corporation accordingly adjusted its equity in the subsidiary by $1,630.  As of today, Kan-Can continues to have no business activities other that the collecting monthly mortgage payment resulted from the sale of the head lease on November 26, 2001. During the Spring of 2004, the Corporation was notified by Mortgagee, and subsequently confirmed in documentation form that the Government Head Lease for the property which related directly to the Kan-Can mortgage had been re-written for a period of 25 years, ensuring the continued receipt of mortgage proceeds with out any anticipated further issues related to the mortgage security.


d. Business of Vencash POS Services Inc.

On May 09, 2003, Westsphere incorporated WESTSPHERE POS SERVICES LTD.  under the laws of the Province of Alberta for the purpose of providing sales and servicing for the point of sale market. "Point of Sale" is described as an electronic terminal that accepts bank debit cards and credit cards to pay by way of direct settlement to the retailers account from the customers banking or credit card provider on a daily basis for a purchase of goods or services. On January 04, 2006 WESTSPHERE POS SERVICES LTD changed its name to VENCASH POS SERVICES INC. was formed to consolidate all of the Corporations Point of Sale related business activity into one Company.  To this date the consolidation process is ongoing and until such time as the consolidation is completed there will be limited business activity forecasted.

Westsphere Systems was formed to be the Corporation's technical services arm and is focusing its business development primarily by:

i.

f. Business of E-Debit International Inc.

E-Debit International Inc. ("E-Debit") was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada. Initial development stages focused on meeting the payment system needs of current and potential online shoppers. E-Debit's business model was based on an anonymous payment system to protect the identity of the purchaser while allowing for guaranteed payment to the merchant. This was to be accomplished by developing and marketing a secure, anonymous online payment system that could be used by online consumers and merchants.

The consequences of the events of September 11th 2001 caused the management of Westsphere to seriously look at the anonymity factor of the E-debit process, particularly the fact that the E-debit process allowed for the anonymous transfer of currency. The anonymity extended to E-Debit itself as the E-debit account holder's identity would not be available to E-Debit once the account numbers for that individual account had been changed by the account holder allowing for currency transfer without any ability to track or trace the account holder.

E-Debit was being developed to meet the payment system needs of current and potential online shoppers. This was to be accomplished by developing and marketing a secure, anonymous online payment system that can be used by online consumers and merchants. However due to the events surrounding September 11, 2001, this project is now pending until determination of its appropriate applications.

On February 11, 2004 Westsphere entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a further ten (10%) percent interest in E-Debit International Inc. from a non affiliated third party E-Debit shareholder.  With this purchase E-Debit becomes a one hundred (100%) percent wholly owned subsidiary of Westsphere



14




Asset.  The function of E-Debit has been expanding in conjunction with the original functionality of the E-debit process.  The business model has been amended in order to incorporate and integrate the E-debit process into the aspects of our ATM and Point of Sale and Cash Direct Financial Services Inc.’s other financial based business operations.  E-Debit has had no business activity to the date of this Annual Report.

CASH DIRECT FINANCIAL SERVICES INC.  

On July 17, 2003, Cash Direct Financial Services Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta.  It was incorporated in order to develop a “bricks and mortar” expansion to Westsphere’s business expansion of “non-conventional banking” operations branded “Personal Financial $olutions”.

“Non-Conventional Banking Business” is described as business related activities which would be normally associated in Canada with a registered chartered bank or bank affiliated financial institution but is privately owned and operated and not affiliated with a Canadian Chartered Bank.

The first Personal Financial Solutions storefront commenced business operations on November 1, 2004 supplying short term cash advance loan agreements under the brand name “CashDirect Advance”, cheque cashing services and a corporate registry and filing as well as other related services.  

 Current Stage of Corporate Development

Cash Direct revenues were generated by its’ investment in Personal Financial $olutions business operations through its first Beta Site  which grew significantly on a month to month basis during a full year of operation and verified the acceptance, convenience, versatility and reliability of the Cash Direct proprietary hardware and related software developed by Westsphere Systems.  As a result two additional Personal Financial $olutions distributorships have been established one in Edmonton, Alberta and another in Calgary, Alberta.    

With the start up of the second Calgary Personal Financial $olutions independent business centre on March 15, 2006 the Calgary beta store operation was wound down with a transfer of the client base to Personal Financial Store operations #3.  With continuing development of the proprietary software and the financial component being upgraded the national role out of Personal Financial $olutions stores are underway.  Management views that Cash Direct business operations allows for the continued development of Westsphere subsidiary E-Debit International Inc. as well as “switch” development through Westsphere Systems Inc.

Westsphere group of companies’ employ twenty-two full-time employees and 3 contracted consultants working in its offices in Calgary, Alberta.

The Corporation, a Colorado registered corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado July 21, 1998 and holds wholly owned subsidiaries which conduct business throughout Canada.   The Corporation files its financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Westsphere and its subsidiaries generated a net income of $23,444 from operations for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2005.  During the period of operations ending December 31, 2004, Westsphere and its subsidiaries generated a net loss of $569,296.  The significant increase in year 2005’s net income of $592,740 over the previous year was primarily due to the impairment of assets of $563,969 in year 2004. The impairment of assets consisted of the impairment test of the intangible assets of Trac Pos Processing Inc. totaling $491,205 and the write-off of an investment in Camrose Convention Inn Inc. totaling $72,764.


The net income from 2005 operations of $23,444 includes a $67,942 gain on the sale of equipment (the “sale of equipment” relates to the sales of non productive business subsidiaries) during the year. During the second quarter of 2005, Westsphere concluded its sales of non activity business subsidiary companies, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd., Westsphere Development Corporation and Westsphere Entertainment Corporation to arms length parties in order to reduce operating costs and audit fees.  As a result, in 2005 we realized a net loss from operations of $44,498 without a gain on sale of equipment as compared to a net loss of $5,327 the previous year before the impairment of assets.  


The increase in year 2005’s net loss was caused by an increase of $214,399 in other expenses from the previous year:  in 2004 expenses totaled $213,802, whereas in 2005 expenses were $428,201.  This increase was caused by an offset of TRAC’s 44% non-controlling interest portion of the impairment loss of $211,467 in assets recognized during year 2004. Other expenses included bad debt of $21,568, ATM insurance of $40,991, office lease including operating costs of $161,807, repairs and maintenance of $20,044, telephone of $103,689, office supplies of $46,363, interest and bank charges of $12,546, and various general and administrative expenses of $21,193.  


Also contributing to the increase in net loss was an increase in salaries and benefits from the previous year 2004 of $555,391 to $645,035 which was primarily due to staffing for Westsphere Systems Inc.’s IT department, two additional staff for the Service department of Vencash Capital Corporation, one receptionist and one junior accountant during year 2005.  The increase in net loss is partially offset against the increase in sales of equipment and supplies and residual and interchange income.  The increase in sales includes a net profit of $62,186 from the sales-type lease ATM agreements and a residual and interchange income increase of a net profit of $189,296. 

During the period of operations ending December 31, 2005, Westsphere received $45,000 from the exercise of options related to the purchase of 37,500 shares of common stock from three external Directors.  In September 2005, Westsphere exchanged 68,975 shares of stock in payment for the purchase of ATMs from related parties in order to settle accounts payable: 797320 Alberta Ltd. received 11,496 shares, 989939 Alberta Ltd. received 45,983 shares, and Transural Trade received 11,496 shares.  The shares were valued at the fair market value of the stock on the date exchanged.  These companies are owned and controlled by three Westsphere Directors


In order to grow Westsphere’s businesses in ATM machines, in Finance/Lease and in POS machines, Westsphere is dependent upon private placements, loans and/or joint venture arrangements. The profits are expected to be generated by the interchange and surcharges collected from ATM and POS machines, the sale of ATM and POS machines, and from Financing and leasing charges.



18




Changes in Financial Position

During fiscal year 2004, the total assets decreased to $1,455,327 primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and loans to related parties and other investments.  The decrease was caused by a write-off of over-due accounts receivable of $62,997 (See ITEM 4. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS – Vencash vs. Sebastian), and other investments from Camrose Convention Inn Inc. in the amount of $72,203 as it was determined by the management as bad debt.  For consolidation purposes, the decrease was offset by investments in Trac Pos Processing Inc. which consisted of loans from related parties in the amount of $101,909, and other investments of $172,660.  

As of December 31, 2004, Westsphere's current liabilities totaled $532,628 and consisted of accounts payable of $85,181 to suppliers for the purchase of ATM machines and POS machines, Officers and Directors bonuses payable in the amount of $60,773, surcharge and interchange payables in the amount of $146,283, accounting and legal payables in the amount of $49,619 and $190,772 due for consulting services, office expenses and various other general fees and charges.  

Long term liabilities as at December 31, 2004 consisted of a bank loan totaling $123,252 for funds to pay down accounts payable to a major supplier, convertible debentures totaling $120,332 for funds advanced for general working capital by various related and unrelated parties, and $374,243 for outstanding accounts due to shareholders of Westsphere. Westsphere's shareholder loan of $184,145 has an interest rate of 18% on the outstanding balance and is a demand loan.  The remaining balance of shareholder loans totaled $190,098 with no specific terms of repayment; which was advanced by 5 Crowns Investment Inc. and Beasley Ranching who are both shareholders of Westsphere as of December 31, 2004.

Shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2004 was $294,452, inclusive of an accumulated loss from operations of $1,512,982, as compared to shareholders equity of $668,999 as of the same date from the previous year. Total issued and outstanding share capital as of the year ended December 31, 2003 was 1,478,303 common shares as compared to a total of 1,731,183 common shares as of December 31, 2004.

During fiscal year 2005, total assets increased to $1,918,206 primarily due to an increase in cash, accounts receivable, and inventory of ATM machines and POS machines.   The increase in cash is mainly due to a collection of funds from the sales-type lease agreements during the year in the amount of $209,019.  The accounts receivable increase of $114,561 is primarily due to Westsphere’s subsidiary Cash Direct Financial Services Ltd.’s business operations which consist of  distributorship fees of $24,491, and $37,903 from cash advances to 1105725 Alberta Ltd. operating as  Personal Financial $olutions Store #1, (first Beta site).

The remaining balance of the increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to the current portion of minimum lease payment receivables of $33,092 and Canadian goods and services tax receivables of $11,344.

The increase in inventory is caused by the purchase of inventory for resale/lease and upgrade kits for ATMs to maintain adequate levels of inventory on hand at year end.  As of December 31, 2005, Westsphere's current liabilities consist of accounts payable of $935,644 and accounts payable to related parties of $132,773.  Accounts payable includes payables of $284,929 to suppliers for the purchase of ATM machines and POS machines, $208,699 is payable for the return of surcharge and interchange, accounting and legal payables in the amount of $58,688, current portion of lease payable in the amount of $11,486, long term lease payable to ATM suppliers in the amount of $211,197, and $160,645 due for consulting services, office expenses and various other general fees and charges.  

Accounts payable to related parties consists of Officers’ and Directors’ bonuses payable carried forward from year 2002 in the amount of $65,671, a loan advanced from Westsphere’s President in the amount of $36,809, a cash advance from KSD Group Ltd. of $13,052 which is controlled by Westsphere officers, and a cash advance from Westsphere’s Vice President in the amount of $17,241 which was repaid in January 2006.  



19




Long term liabilities as at December 31, 2005 consisted of a bank loan totaling $72,615 for funds to pay down accounts payable to a major supplier, convertible debentures totaling $124,979 for funds advanced for general working capital by various related and unrelated parties, and $256,636 for outstanding accounts due to shareholders of Westsphere. Westsphere's shareholder loans related to TRAC of $137,896 and a Vencash related loan of $34,483 have interest rates of 18% and 12%, respectively. They both are demand loans.  The remaining balance of shareholder loans total $84,257 with no specific terms of repayment.

Shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2005 was $391,188, inclusive of an accumulated loss from operations of $1,489,537, as compared to shareholders equity of $294,452 as of the same date from the previous year. Total issued and outstanding share capital as of the year ending December 31, 2004 was 1,731,183 common shares as compared to a total of 621,939 common shares and 1,215,721 preferred shares as of December 31, 2005.  The conversion from common to preferred shares during the year is a result of the shareholder’s resolution, approved at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 7, 2002.  The Company converted 1,215,721 common shares into 1,215,721 preferred shares during the year.  As of March 15, 2006, the Company finalized its conversion and has a total of 1,285,958 preferred shares and 551,702 common shares issued and outstanding.


Liquidity

Westsphere expects that its need for liquidity will increase in 2006 in anticipation of expending funds to develop its growth plan.  Westsphere was able to raise $209,019 from the collection of sales-type lease agreements.  The cash is used for circulation in Vencash’s owned ATMs.  Westsphere was unable to raise the funds last year necessary to grow Vencash Capital due to the condition of Corporations’ financial market.


Short Term

On a short term basis, Westsphere's subsidiary Vencash Capital will generate sufficient revenues to meet overhead needs.  In order to meet its growth plan, Westsphere will continue to be dependent on equity funds raised, joint venture arrangements and/or loan proceeds. Westsphere believes that it will continue as a going concern with the present revenues from its subsidiary Vencash Capital Corporation but it would be unable to meet its market growth projections without further funding outside of the ongoing revenue from operations of Vencash.


Westsphere's current assets of $1,211,708 are higher than its current liabilities of $1,068,437 as at the year ending December 31, 2005.  The current liabilities include the accounts payable to related parties of $132,773 which consist of the bonuses to Officers and Directors payable carried forward from year 2002 in the amount of $65,671, cash advance from KSD Group Ltd. of $13,052 which is controlled by Westsphere officers, cash advance from Westsphere’s President in the amount of $36,809, and a cash advance from Westsphere’s Vice President in the amount of $17,241 which was repaid in January 2006.


Long Term

As mentioned above, Westsphere believes that its subsidiary, Vencash Capital, generates sufficient ongoing revenue to ensure that Westsphere is a going concern.  It is anticipated that operations will have substantial increases in net cash flow at the fiscal year end December 31, 2006.  In addition, Westsphere believes that further substantial cost savings will occur with the new program system implemented to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations. Westsphere will remain reliant on the

Successful development and marketing of the products related to its business for possibility of future income.

Capital Resources

The primary capital resource of Westsphere is the operations of Vencash Capital, its wholly owned subsidiary.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm




Board of Directors

Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control 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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the consolidated results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 – Organization and Principles of Consolidation


Westsphere Asset Corporation, Inc. (Company) was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1998 as Newslink Networks TDS, Inc. and changed its name to Westsphere Asset Corporation Inc. on April 29, 1999.


The Company’s primary business is the sale and operation of cash vending (ATM) and point of sale (POS) machines in Canada.


On December 12, 1998, the Company acquired 41% of Vencash Capital Corporation (Vencash), a Canadian Corporation, and then on December 17, 1999 acquired the remaining 59% of the outstanding stock of Vencash. The Vencash stock was acquired by exchanging the Company’s common stock with shareholders of Vencash. Vencash is in the business of selling and installing cash vending machines (ATM machines) throughout Canada. Because certain shareholders were shareholders of both corporations, the Company accounted for its acquisition of Vencash as a reverse acquisition, which are a capital transaction and not a business combination.


On May 18, 1999, the Company formed a wholly owned Alberta subsidiary, Westsphere Financial Group Ltd. (Financial), which was organized to lease cash vending machines. During the period from June 1999 through October 2001 the Company acquired 99% of Kan-Can Resorts Ltd. (Kan-Can), an Alberta company by exchanging stock. On May 16, 2000, Vencash ATM/POS Services Inc., (formerly VC/POS/ATM Services Inc.) and Westsphere Systems Inc. (formerly 880487 Alberta Ltd.) (Systems) were incorporated as wholly owned Alberta subsidiaries of the Company. During 2000 and 2001, the Company acquired a 90% interest in E-Debit International Inc. (E-Debit), a company engaged in the development of online payment systems, and which has no other operations. On September 23, 1998, Vencash Capital Corporation incorporated Vencash Financial Corporation (Financial) in Alberta. Vencash Financial has had no business activity. In January of 2003 the company incorporated two wholly owned subsidiaries, Westsphere Development Corporation to pursue real estate development opportunities, and Westsphere Entertainment Corporation to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industries, both of which have had no business activity to date. During 2004, the Company formed a wholly owned Alberta subsidiary, Cash Direct Financial Services Ltd (Cash Direct), as a holding company for a 51% interest in 1105725 Alberta Ltd DBA Personal Financial Solutions, an Alberta Corporation, to pursue opportunities in check cashing, payday loans, and similar businesses.


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in United States dollars.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements



The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and to report amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


F-7



Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable to related parties reflected in the financial statement approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair value of the mortgage receivable (a debt investment being held to maturity), based on estimated current interest rates for comparable instruments, and is $133,357 compared to its carrying value of $171,084.


Inventory


Inventory consists primarily of cash vending and POS machines, which are valued at the lesser of cost (on a first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.


Earnings (Loss) per Share


Earnings (loss) per share are computed dividing the net (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.  


Valuation of Long-Lived Assets


The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The assets consist of intellectual property acquired in the acquisitions of E-Debit and Trac POS. The company has determined that these assets do not have a determinable useful life, and therefore are subject to review at least annually for impairment.


During 2004, the company determined that the carrying account of the intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Trac POS exceeded their fair value, based on the estimate of future cash flows from the assets, and accordingly the company recognized an impairment loss of $491,205.


Revenue Recognition


Revenues are recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  Under SAB 101, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.


Revenues from sales, leasing and servicing of individual cash vending machines are recognized when substantially all significant events to be provided by the Company have been performed. Interchange and residual revenues from the operation of vending and point-of-sale machines are recognized when the transaction is processed and due to the company.

F-8



The company rents ATM machines to customers on a month-to-month basis. The carrying value of property rented to customer as of December 31, 2005 is $62,298. Because all rental agreements are on a month-to-month basis, there are no minimum future rentals.


The Company offers no warranties or right of return beyond manufacturers’ warranties.


Foreign Currency


The functional currency of the Company and its’ subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates amounts into United States dollars using the current rate method.  Under this method, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period, and equity account are translated at the historical rate.  Related translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.


Income Taxes


The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.


Minority interests in the income and equity of consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned are recorded except when the subsidiary has a deficit and there are no agreements for the minority shareholders to contribute additional capital. As of December 31, 2005 all minority-owned subsidiaries had deficits and therefore no minority interest is recorded.


Other


The Company has elected December 31 as its fiscal year end.


The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred and the total amounts for 2005 and 2004 where nominal.


The Company paid no dividends during the years presented.


Certain comparative figures for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 4 – Investments


The company has acquired an interest in Trac TRAC P.O.S. Processing, Inc. (Trac POS) as part of its effort to expand its presence in point of sale processing. On January 22, 2002, the Company bought a 10% interest in Trac POS for $47,137. The purchase of the 10% interest was from a related party. The Company subsequently purchased an additional 26% interest in exchange for common stock, valued at $66,258 based on quoted market prices, which gives the Company a 36% interest in TRAC POS. During 2003, the Company settled debt in the amount of $50,965 by exchanging a 5% interest in Trac POS Processing, Inc. This reduced the Company’s holding in Trac POS Processing, Inc. to 31% of the outstanding shares of Trac POS Processing, Inc.


During July 2004, the Company purchased an additional 25% interest in Trac POS for 236,042 shares valued at $141,958 ($.60 per share) based on market value of the stock at the transaction date. This brought the Company’s ownership interest in Trac POS to 56%, which is a controlling interest, with a cumulative purchase cost of $244,502. For the year ended 2004, the company recorded the acquisition as a step purchase in accordance with ARB 51, and consolidated income for the year ended December 31,

Upon conversion of a common share to a preferred share, the preferred shareholders will have the right to convert such preferred share to a share of common stock (1:1) upon delivery of 21 days written notice to the Company, at a price of $1.00 per share payable to the Company.  However, share certificates will be issued with the following share trading restrictions: 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of six (6) months from the date of conversion; 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of one (1) year from the date of conversion; 1/3 of the total shares to be converted will be restricted from trading for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of conversion.


Note 7 – Income Taxes


The Company files United States income tax returns, and the Company’s operating subsidiaries file Canadian income tax returns.


The Company has estimated net operating loss carry-forwards of $1, 258,403, which expire as follows:

Estimated tax benefits resulting from U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards of $427,857 are offset by a reserve of the same amount because it is uncertain that the company will be able to utilize the carry-forwards before they expire.


The Company has no US income other than from its Canadian subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that foreign tax credits allowed for payment of Canadian taxes will be sufficient that there will be no US income tax liability for the parent company.


Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to Company’s actual income taxes as follows:

Note 8 - Stock Based Compensation


During 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Employees Stock Option and Stock Award Plan for directors, employees and consultants.

Additional provisions of the plan call for awards, exercise prices and vesting to be determined by the board of directors or its designated administrator.

As permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, the company applies the methods of APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options issued to employees and recorded no expense for these options. If the Company had expensed the fair value of employee options issued in 2005, the net income would have been decreased by $72,067 to ($48,623).

On April 7, 2004, the company sued Fred and Linda Sebastian to recover an outstanding loan of $80,000.00 (Cdn) plus interest and court costs. The Company has reserved this amount due to the uncertainty of recovery. The Defendants responded with the filing of a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim in the amount of $257,002.32 (Cdn). The company believes the counterclaim to be without merit and has not accrued a liability for the claim.


On May 28, 2004 Peter Gregory filed an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Vencash Capital Corporation.  Peter Gregory was a Vencash distributor and agent who filed the action related to a claim of wrongful dismissal from Vencash of $260,000.00 (Cdn).  On July 30, 2004 Vencash filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim in the amount of $1,600,000 for breach of contract, breach of confidence, breach of fiduciary duties, interference with economic relations, damages for inducing breach of contract, and punitive damages. The company believes the claim to be without merit and has not accrued a liability for the claim.

Note 10 – Related party transactions


The Company expensed $72,040 during 2005 for consulting and management services to a company that is controlled by the Company’s president.


The Company’s president is owed for a loan payable from Westsphere Group of Companies totaling $35,509.


Accounts payable includes $65,671 accrued for officer and employee bonuses.

Note 11 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R) (revised 2004) (“FAS 123(R)”). In addition, in March 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107) which provides interpretations regarding the interaction between FAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provided the staff’s views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. FAS 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, including stock option awards. FAS 123(R) revises FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. FAS 123(R) will require us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant-date fair value of such awards. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.  We will report such costs as part of our general and administrative expenses.  FAS 123(R) will be effective for us as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which will be our fiscal year ending July 31, 2007. We will recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this statement as of the effective date. Currently, the cumulative effect of initially applying FAS 123(R) has not been determined and is subject to change depending on future events.

F-15




In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, and an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“FAS 153”). FAS 153 eliminates the exception to recognize non-monetary transactions at fair value for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets previously allowed by APB Opinion No. 29, and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. FAS 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.


In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“FAS 154”), which changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle and carries forward without change the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 154 to affect future reporting or disclosures.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an Amendment of FASB Standards No. 133 and 140" ("FAS. 155"). This statement established the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other instruments. It simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under FAS 133 as well as eliminating a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity ("SPE") may hold under FAS 140. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations at December 31, 2005


In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain specified situations. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. Management believes the adoption of this statement will have no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations at December 31, 2005.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT


The following table sets forth information concerning the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common and preferred stock as of March 15, 2006 for: each of our directors and executive officers individually; each person or group that we know owns beneficially more than 5% of our common stock; and all directors and executive officers as a group.


Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act defines the term, "beneficial ownership". Under this rule, the term includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power.  The rules also deem common stock subject to options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the options but do not deem such stock to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  The applicable percentage of ownership for each shareholder is based on 551,702 shares of common stock and 1,285,958 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of March 15, 2006 together with applicable options for that shareholder.  Except as otherwise indicated, we believe the beneficial owners of the common stock listed below, based on information furnished by them, have sole voting and investment power over the number of shares listed opposite their names.
