Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in United States dollars)
(Prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles)
Three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited)
1.
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the United States generally accepted accounting principles for a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have not been reviewed by our independent auditors. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008 or for any other period.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Unity Wireless Corporations (the Corporation) annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. Except as indicated in note 2(c), the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interims consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements filed with the Corporations annual report.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Operations to date have been significantly financed by debt and equity transactions. At March 31, 2008, the Corporation requires additional financing to continue to operate at current levels throughout the year. Accordingly, the Corporations future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent debt and equity financing, the continued support of creditors and stockholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that the Corporation will be successful. If it is not, the Corporation will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. The Corporation will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.
Significant accounting policies:
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in the Corporations financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 except as noted in note 2(c).
(a) Use of estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, particularly the recoverability of inventory, equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, and liabilities (particularly product warranty) and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(b) Comparative figures:
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.
(c)
Recent accounting pronouncement:
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FAS 115 ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company.

Recent accounting pronouncement (continued):
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 entitled Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). This statement clarifies the definition of fair value to provide greater consistency and clarity on existing accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements, provides a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to its financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008, which did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Assets or liabilities that have recurring measurements include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash which the Company has determined that the fair values, based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, are equal to the values recorded on the Companys balance sheet as at March 31, 2008.
3. Intangibles:
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, intangible amortization was nil (2007 - $738,910)

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Corporation recorded $337,093 as a write-down of raw materials, due to obsolete inventory, which was recorded as a charge to cost of goods sold.

Contingent liabilities:
(a)
The Corporation is currently a party to six actions in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, brought by six different suppliers of the Corporation for approximately $970,000 in total.
The Corporation provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. It is the opinion of management, based in part on advice of legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of these contingencies, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation.
(b)
Contingent liability on sale of products:
(i)
Under a license agreement, the Corporation is committed to make royalty payments based on the sales of products using certain technologies. Royalties are calculated based on 5% to 6% of sales of licensed products sold integrating the XNN Technology into various products to a minimum of $150,000 within twelve months subsequent to the first commercial sales of the integrated product. No such sales have occurred to March 31, 2008.
(ii)
Under an agreement with the Governments National Research Council Canada IRAP (IRAP) program, the Corporation received conditionally repayable government assistance amounting to $368,275 (CDN$483,491) to support the development of a multi-carrier linear power amplifier. Under the terms of the agreement, an amount up to a maximum of $534,000 (CDN$725,236) is to be repaid at a rate of 1.5% of quarterly gross revenue commencing on September 1, 2003, on a quarterly basis.
(iii)
Under an agreement with the Canada Israel Industrial Research & Development Foundation, the Corporation is eligible to receive conditionally repayable government assistance amounting to $262,078 (CDN$350,000) to support the development of a multi-carrier linear power amplifier. To date, the Corporation claimed gross proceeds of $98,622 (CDN$ 116,667) in 2005, which have been recorded as government grant income as a reduction of expenses incurred. Under the terms of the agreement, commencing with the first commercial transaction, the assistance is repayable to the extent of 2.5% of yearly gross sales until 100% of the grant has been repaid. As of March 31, 2008, the Corporation has not yet commenced the commercialization of such product, and thus no repayment is required.

Contingent liability on sale of products (continued):
(iv)
The Corporate Israelis subsidiaries were granted by Canada Israel Industrial Research & Development Foundation (CIIRDF) and by the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade (the OCS) approval for CIIRDF grants and OCS participation in the cost of several research programs. In return the Corporate Israelis subsidiaries are committed to pay royalties at a rate of 3% to 5% of the sales of the approved products, up to 100% of the amount of the grants received, with the addition of interest at LIBOR. Under certain conditions, the Corporate Israelis subsidiaries commitment to pay royalties at the rates mentioned above and the total obligation for royalties shall increase. The Corporate Israelis subsidiaries are committed to pay increased royalties for income derived from the above mentioned sale of rights.
The grants are deducted from research and development expenses. The Corporate Israelis subsidiaries are entitled to the grants only upon incurring research and development expenditures. The Corporate Israelis subsidiaries are not obliged to repay any amount received from the OCS if the research effort is unsuccessful or if no products are sold. However, under certain limited circumstances, the OCS may withdraw its approval of a research program or amend the terms of its approval. Upon withdrawal of approval, the Corporate Israelis subsidiaries may be required to refund the grants, in whole or in part, with or without interest, as the OCS determines.
The maximum amount that could be repaid under this program for royalties, based on royalty-bearing government participation, totaled approximately $14,344,000 as of March 31, 2008. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Corporation recorded $49,000 (2007 $59,000) as royalty expense in its statement of operations.
Such amount excludes potential increase resulting from the above-mentioned sale of rights.

Sale of amplifier business:
On February 25, 2008, Unity Wireless Corporation, through its subsidiary Unity Wireless Systems Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of the net assets and operations of its amplifier business to Moventis Wireless Inc (Moventis). In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price is $3,000,000 plus a royalty equal to 5% of annual gross sales over $5,000,000 generated by the assets of the acquired business for a period of three years. The Purchase Price will be paid and satisfied by way of an offset against outstanding debt owed from the Corporation and its subsidiaries to PTL Electronics Ltd. (PTL), which is a company related to Moventis. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, Unity and its subsidiaries also entered into a manufacturing services agreement with PTL under which Unity has committed to use PTL (or its related companies) as its exclusive manufacturer of printed circuit board assembly products for a period of 24 months, or until all debt owed from Unity and its subsidiaries to PTL is repaid in full. Closing of the above transaction is subject to receiving the approval of the transaction by certain lien holders on the Company's assets as well as other conditions to be met as specified in the agreement. As of June 20, 2008, the transaction had not closed.
As settlement of the remaining debt owed by Unity and its subsidiaries to PTL, Unity agreed to issue 12,000,000 common shares to PTL (or its nominee) and to enter into a promissory note agreement in the amount of $1,878,141 in favor of PTL. Unity will provide PTL with a piggy-back registration rights agreement for the common shares. The promissory note bears interest at 10% and is repayable over 24 months commencing May 15, 2008, with payments of $20,000 per month for the first twelve months and payments of $50,000 per month thereafter. The note will be secured by a general security agreement subordinated to existing security interests. Additionally, Unity has committed that, in the event that Unity or any of its related companies completes any equity or debt financing, then the lesser of 20% of such financing, or the outstanding balance of the promissory note shall be paid to PTL.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations of Unity Wireless Corporation should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing: (1) in this Form 10-QSB; and (2) the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed on May 15, 2008.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Operations to date have been primarily financed by borrowing and equity transactions. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the continued support of creditors and stockholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful. If we are not, we will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements. The auditors' report on the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 contained in the 10-KSB filed on May 15, 2008, includes an explanatory paragraph that states that as we have suffered recurring losses from operations, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audited consolidated financial statements or the interim quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "CDN$" refer to Canadian dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "Unity" mean Unity Wireless Corporation, unless otherwise indicated.

Results of Operations
Three-month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:
Sales and Cost of Goods Sold
Sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $1,251,000, a decrease of 42.4% or $920,795, from $2,171,795 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in sales is primarily a result of temporary slow down in business in India, along with closing the facilities in China and preparations for manufacturing in India.
Cost of goods sold during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $1,487,000 resulting in a gross loss of $236,000, compared to cost of goods sold of $1,532,239 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 resulting in a gross margin of $639,556 or 29.45% of sales.
The decrease in gross margin is largely attributed to:
-
Decrease in Inventory due to write off of the inventory in China.
-
Closing of our manufacturing site in China caused short term increase in cost, as procurement is in small quantities until we complete setting up the manufacturing site in India;
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $563,786, a decrease of $ 179,939 or 24.2% from $743,725 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of the restructuring of the company, following the acquisitions in 2006.
Sales and Marketing
With the additional two new major product lines, and entering into new major markets such as India, Russia, and South East Asia, through the 2006 acquisition processes, our sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $126,000, a decrease of $393,756 or 75.6% from $519,756 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of the restructuring of the company which allowed us to reduce the sales personnel headcount.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 were $34,065, a decrease of $834,621, from $868,686 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of the write off of the intangible assets, at December 31, 2007, recorded relating to the acquired companies in 2006.
28
Exchange Loss
Exchange loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $147,808, an increase of $144,093, from $3,715 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between the U.S, Israel and Canada.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 increased by $254,447 to $491,345 from $236,898 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in interest expense related to the increased use of line of credits.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 slightly increased to $535,254, an increase of $2,462, from $532,792 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007.
Share compensation expense
Celletras share compensation expenses were $112,500 for the period ended of March 31, 2007. At the request of the Celletras former shareholders, 5% of the total consideration paid for the company, or 4,500 Preferred Shares, were issued to a trust controlled by the selling shareholders. The trust was instructed to issue the shares to current and former employees of Celletra if at any time within one year after the closing date, the price per share of the Companys common stock was equal to or exceeded $0.20 for a period of seven consecutive days. If this target share price was met, the shares were to be distributed. If this milestone was not achieved the shares would be returned back to the selling shareholders of Celletra. This milestone was not achieved and, as such, the shares were returned back to the selling shareholders of Celletra. These employees were not shareholders of Celletra. As a result of the shares issued to the Celletra selling shareholders, those selling shareholders became significant (ie: holding greater than 10%) shareholders of the Company. In accordance with FAS 123(R), the Company has calculated the fair value of compensation relating to these shares that may be issued to current and former employees, to be $450,000 and amortized the amount on a straight line basis over one year. The full amount has been amortized as of December 31, 2007.
Other Expenses
Accretion of Interest
Accretion of interest for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was nil, compared to $114,093 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. As at December 31, 2007 all interest had been accreted.
Loss for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2008
Loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 decreased by 14.3% or to $2,177,278 from $2,555,307 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007.
29
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have been dependent on investment capital and debt financing as our primary sources of liquidity. We had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2008 of $72,223,880. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $2,177,278.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, our cash position was decreased to $128,916. This decrease was primarily due to the repayment made to the trade payables and the short-term loan.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, we did not purchase any equipment.
Other than leases for premises, leased vehicles and equipment commitments for an aggregate of $340,000 through 2010, we have no material commitments outstanding at March 31, 2008.
Our capital requirements may increase in light of our current strategy to expand our customer base and to develop new products and technologies. Our operations to date have been primarily financed by sales of our equity securities and debt financing, and, the companys assets are pledged to secure convertible notes that we issued in August 2004, February 2005, March 2005, February 2006 and December 2006. For any additional financing that may be required in the near term, we may be required to obtain the consent of certain of our investors prior to the issuance of our common stock or common stock equivalents and prior to entering into an agreement to assume certain liabilities.
While convertible notes and warrant purchase Agreements dated August 31, 2004, February 11, 2005, March 24, 2005, February 28, 2006 and December 13, 2006 are outstanding, we cannot declare dividends on our common shares. As of March 31, 2008, we had working deficit of $22,135,395, our operations presently have net cash outflow of $381,520. Our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon one or more factors, that may include: our ability obtaining further financing; an increased rate of market acceptance of our current products and any new product offerings that we may introduce; the continuing successful development of our products and related technologies; and achieving a profitable level of operations Moving forward, although the issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders, obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitment. Our Auditors report on our 2007 consolidated financial statements includes an additional explanatory paragraph that states that our recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2008 (Evaluation Date). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures are not adequately designed and effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
More specifically, based on our managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008, we have identified the following internal control deficiencies that we considered to be material weaknesses:
1. Lack of segregation of duties. Due to our small employee base, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties. While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, budgetary considerations have not allowed the addition of more full time staff. As a result, this significant internal control deficiency has not been remediated as of the end of the year covered by this annual report, nor do we know if we will be able to remediate this weakness during the upcoming quarter or year. As a remedy to this deficiency, our Chief Executive Officer performs frequent reviews of financial information to ensure that transactions are properly recorded.
2. Lack of a permanent senior financial officer. In March 2007, our Chief Financial Officer resigned from the company. Since this time, we have obtained senior finance assistance on a contract basis to assist in preparing and filing our financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with other corporate finance matters as required on a project basis. While the absence of a permanent Chief Financial Officer is a material weakness, this weakness is partially mitigated by our Chief Executive Officer fulfilling many of the duties of the former Chief Financial Officer. Subsequent to March 31, 2008 the Corporation has hired a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
3. Lack of qualified staff and sufficient accounting records. In connection with the restructuring of the company in 2007, we reduced the number of accounting staff in Canada and moved the physical location of our main accounting function from Canada to Israel. This transition required the utilization of external contractors and our Israel-based accounting staff to perform accounting functions that were previously performed by internal staff based in Canada. The transition led to a disruption of our internal processes and procedures during 2007 which resulted in poor accounting records for certain company transactions and also resulted in a current lack of accounting staff who are adequately experienced with United States GAAP, taxation issues, and more complex accounting topics. While the impact of the disruption in internal processes has now subsided, we continue to experience challenges in recruiting accounting staff in Israel who possess adequate US GAAP experience. We are addressing this material weakness by actively recruiting for Israel-based accounting staff with the necessary skills, and we are temporarily obtaining the necessary skills from independent contractors based in Canada.
31
4. Code of conduct and whistleblower line not communicated. A code of conduct and whistleblower policy has been approved by the board of directors but has not been formerly communicated to employees. The Corporation intends to do this as part of there overall review, update and communication of internal controls and processes after taking into consideration the recent closure of its Canadian and China facilities and centralization of the Corporations main operational functions in Israel.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.
If we are unable to remediate the identified material weaknesses, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our SEC reports will not be prevented or detected, in which case investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital and could also have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses identified by management, we believe that the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operation and cash flows of the company as of, and for, the periods represented in this report.
We did not change our internal control over financial reporting during our first fiscal quarter of 2008 in connection with the results of managements report, nor have we made any changes to our internal control over financial reporting as of June 20, 2008 except for the hiring of a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
