Notes:

1. Grant based participants include participants in stock option plans,
   share appreciation rights plans, share unit plans and restricted stock
   award plans. Participants may be utilizing more than one product module
   at once. Consequently, the total number of unique participants utilizing
   Shareworks is lower than the sum of all participants noted in the above
   table.
2. Transaction administration revenue includes transaction administration
   fees, brokerage access and administration fees, money movement fees and
   foreign currency margin.
3. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
   is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have any standardized
   meaning prescribed by Canadian GAAP (generally accepted accounting
   principles) and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar
   measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA provides useful information
   to users as it reflects the net earnings prior to the effect of
   non-operating expenses such as interest, tax, depreciation and
   amortization. Management uses EBITDA in measuring the financial
   performance of the Company as this measure reflects results that are
   controllable by management in day-to-day operations. Management monitors
   EBITDA against budget and past results on a regular basis. The measure is
   a key component in determining the annual bonus pool for staff and
   management. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net earnings:

KEY ASPECTS OF 2009 THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH PERFORMANCE

- Strong organic growth:

-- Growth in direct sales clients brought access fee revenue to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - $3.1 million) and $10.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $8.5 million), increases of 15% and 26% over the comparable periods of 2008.

-- Canadian plans with annual access fees of approximately $450,000 and U.S. plans with annual access fees of approximately US$720,000 were implemented onto Shareworks during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

-- New plans were partially offset by client attrition representing annual access fees of approximately $450,000 in Canada and US$240,000 in the U.S. The attrition results were mostly attributable to the bankruptcy of a single large client in Canada, and to the reorganizations and bankruptcies of a number of clients in the U.S.

- Operational efficiency improvements:

-- The Company's continued focus on improving operational efficiencies allowed for the addition of recurring access fee revenue at a greater rate than the addition of costs to service the business.

-- As a result of operational improvements made in 2008 and during the first nine months of 2009, salaries and wages and general and administrative costs together increased by only 4% between the comparable nine month periods in 2008 and 2009, while recurring access fee revenue grew by 26%.

- Reduced trade activity:

-- Transaction administration revenue was $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - $724,295) and $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $2.9 million).

-- Participant trade activity in Canada during the third quarter of 2009 displayed a marginal increase compared to the second quarter of 2009. However, participant trade activity relative to the number of direct sales participants in the third quarter of 2009 was only 64% of the average 5-year annual historical level, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was only 53% of the average 5-year annual historical level.

-- Brokerage access and administration fees were $328,638 (2008 - $216,729) in the third quarter of 2009, and $940,157 (2008 - $795,111) in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. These fees were constrained by the lower than normal trade activity relative to historical levels.

- Transition of Canadian channel relationship:

-- GRS Securities Inc. ("GRS Securities") largely wound down its equity administration business and transitioned toward a focus on core non-equity products during 2008. This new focus resulted in GRS Securities significantly reducing its direct use of Solium's Shareworks technology. As a result, channel revenue decreased to $63,332 in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - $136,853), and $181,404 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $763,691).

- Foreign exchange loss:

-- The converted value of the Company's U.S. operations is impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar. In the third quarter of 2009, the Canadian dollar appreciated on average relative to the U.S. dollar.

-- The Company's net earnings were unfavorably impacted by $128,638 in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - gain $71,457) and by $162,958 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - gain $74,776) due to fluctuations in this exchange rate.

-- The foreign exchange loss associated with the translation of net monetary assets for presentation in the Company's consolidated balance sheet on September 30, 2009 is an unrealized loss and makes up the majority of the foreign exchange loss recorded in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

- Income taxes:

-- Positive operating results in the Canadian operations resulted in income tax expense of $359,179 in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - $142,867) and $961,210 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $442,127).

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

- Cash on hand as at September 30, 2009 was $4,431,305 (December 31, 2008 - $2,249,317).

- Net increase of cash of $918,529 was generated during the third quarter of 2009 (2008 - decrease $917,257) and $2,181,989 was generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - decrease $398,507). Cash flow from operating activities was $1,259,584 in the third quarter of 2009 (2008 -$511,080) and $2,952,105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (2008 - $1,712,606). Note that the decrease in net cash in the third quarter of 2008 was due to the final cash payment of US $1,000,000 in connection with the 2007 acquisition of Solium Capital LLC (formerly known as Allecon Stock Associates LLC).

- Working capital as at September 30, 2009 was $3,732,763 (December 31, 2008 - $2,611,310).

- Long-term debt as at September 30, 2009 was $969,248 (December 31, 2008 - $1,836,985).

- The Company has a credit facility of $1.5 million available to be drawn from a Canadian bank. To date, the Company has not drawn from this facility. As at September 30, 2009, all financial covenants associated with the credit facility were fully met.

- During the second quarter of 2009, the Company initiated a Normal Course Issuer Bid program to purchase, for cancellation, up to 502,000 common shares. 61,400 common shares were purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 at a cost of $74,610. A further 4,500 common shares were purchased in October 2009 at a cost of $4,980.
