Intermap Technologies Corporation

President’s Message

Financial information as discussed herein is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

To our shareholders,

1

I am pleased to formally address the shareholders of Intermap Technologies® since joining the Company 
as President and Chief Executive Officer on December 6, 2010 and I thank you for your support during 
these uncertain times. As we work through the challenges ahead of us, I am convinced that Intermap has 
substantial value and its market opportunity is even greater than I had initially imagined. 

Despite larger operating losses than anticipated in 2010, it’s encouraging to note that net cash used in 
operations during the year was significantly lower than the operating net loss for the year. In response to lower 
revenues during the year, we significantly cut operating expenses – by more than $17 million annually – and 
restructured the size of the organization to coincide with 2011 revenue expectations. In terms of the 2011 
revenue outlook, contracts in process at year end are valued at approximately $17.0 million, the majority of 
which is deliverable during 2011 and recognized as revenue. 

Three important changes were required to move the company forward, and we have already started to 
implement them. These three changes are to: 

•  Provide affordable access to more customers through a low-cost delivery approach using cloud-based 

web services

•  Aggregate the best data available into NEXTMap, allowing for maintenance and recurring revenues

• 

 Expand the use of channels to get better coverage around the world

In our revised go-to-market strategy, we will aggregate 3D terrain information from third parties into our 
database and then disseminate it to our customers through a low-cost web-based delivery mechanism. 
This approach will allow us to rapidly and more economically distribute multiple data layers in specific areas 
of interest, with high-quality and reduced file sizes. We will also aggressively pursue our mapping services 
business, which has been the historical foundation of the Company and will further expand the terrain 
information available to our customers.

By implementing this approach, Intermap will be among the first to commercialize broad access 
to 3D terrain information by partnering with data providers throughout the world to offer LiDAR, 
photogrammetry, satellite, and other geospatial information to the Company’s customers and partners. 
Intermap has decades of experience integrating data derived from a number of different sensor 
technologies, and we plan to be the go-to company for all types of 3D terrain information. 

In conjunction with this strategic shift, we have changed our pricing philosophy to a per-user, per-month 
plan through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. This is a subscription-based, recurring revenue customer 
model that is currently in use for both our existing telecommunications and insurance risk management 
customer base. Our goal is to continuously update our 3D terrain database with new types of data to 
drive revenue and maintenance fees. This enables us to build a recurring revenue stream, something that 
Intermap has not effectively done before in its history.

Change is required to make this strategy work and increase shareholder value, including a new culture, a 
new customer- and partner-centric sales and marketing approach, and stakeholders that share this vision. 
We now have a strong organization in place with the right leadership focused on executing our new 
strategy. On behalf of all of Intermap’s committed employees, I thank our shareholders for their support 
during this transformation.

Todd Oseth 
President and CEO, Intermap Technologies

in this MD&A, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. All subsequent forward-
looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to Intermap or persons acting on the Company’s 
behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Intermap is a digital mapping company creating uniform, high-resolution 3D digital models of the earth’s 
surface. The Company has proactively remapped entire countries and built uniform national databases 
called NEXTMap®, consisting of elevation data and orthorectified radar images with high accuracy. Digital 
maps are used in a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to geographic information 
systems (GIS), engineering, GPS maps, insurance risk assessment, oil and gas, renewable energy, hydrology, 
environmental planning, wireless communications, transportation, and 3D visualization. The products are 
also used to improve the positional accuracy of airborne and satellite images. Working for private industry, 
governments, and individual consumers worldwide, Intermap employs interferometric synthetic aperture 
radar (IFSAR) mapping technology, which provides the ability to digitally map large areas accurately and 
quickly and acquire data at any time of the day including overcast and dark conditions. 

NEXTMap® 

The NEXTMap program is included in the Company’s multi-client data library (MCDL), which was built from the 
acquisition and processing of elevation data and orthorectified radar images. The NEXTMap datasets include 
terrain elevation and imagery data. The Company maintains all ownership rights to the data, and sells licenses 
to the data on a non-transferable basis. The program includes NEXTMap® USA and NEXTMap® Europe. 

NEXTMap USA, the largest NEXTMap program to date, was completed during the second quarter of 2010. The 
program covers an area of nearly 8.0 million square kilometers of the contiguous United States and Hawaii.

The NEXTMap Europe dataset was completed in 2009 and represents 2.5 million square kilometers of area 
and includes the 17 countries of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, 
Irish Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Scotland, Switzerland, 
and Wales. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had invested $81.1 million and $39.3 million into the 
NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets, respectively.

In December 2010, a strategic review of the Company’s approach to selling the NEXTMap datasets in the 
United States and Europe was undertaken by the new executive management of the Company. Upon 
completion of this review, it was determined that the historical pricing strategy of the NEXTMap datasets 
required downward adjustment and the Company could no longer afford to invest the resources necessary 
to exploit certain previously identified target markets. These changes, coupled with the Company’s history 
of losses, led the Company to perform an asset impairment review to determine if the carrying value of 
the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe asset groups were recoverable. The Company determined that 
the future expected cash flows of the datasets were insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, 
resulting in a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $52.8 million. Of this amount, $36.9 million applied 
to the NEXTMap USA asset and $15.9 million applied to the NEXTMap Europe asset. Subsequent to the 
impairment charges, the net book value of the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets at December 
31, 2010 were $12.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The net book value of the NEXTMap USA and 
NEXTMap Europe datasets at December 31, 2009 was $56.3 million and $29.0 million, respectively.

Contract Services

The Company’s contract services business typically involves a client requesting digital map data for 
a specific location outside of the NEXTMap area of collection. In previous years, this contract services 
business has typically been one of the larger sources of revenue for the Company and results primarily from 
government funding in the areas of national mapping and national defense. However, in 2010, revenue

$17.0 million in revenue from existing contracts to be recognized in future periods ($12.9 million in contract 
services and $4.1 million in MCDL license contracts).

for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in revenue from mapping

projects in Southeast Asia where the Company had $17.3 million in revenue during 2009, compared to  
$1.0 million in 2010. The remaining contract services revenue for 2010 related primarily to a mapping project 
in the United States totaling $2.1 million. 

MCDL license revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $9.7 million, compared to $10.2 million 
for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of lower revenue associated with the sale 
of data in Asia and from the NEXTMap USA dataset, offset by higher sales from the NEXTMap Europe dataset 
in 2010. During 2010, approximately 54% of MCDL license revenue was associated with the NEXTMap Europe 
dataset, 19% was associated with the NEXTMap USA dataset, and 27% was associated with the Company’s 
Asia dataset. For the same period in 2009, approximately 36% of the MCDL license revenue was associated 
with the NEXTMap Europe dataset, 31% was associated with the NEXTMap USA dataset, and 33% was 
associated with the Company’s Asia dataset. 

World economic difficulties continued to affect the Company’s revenues during 2010. We believe existing 
and potential customers have maintained a cautious approach to their businesses, conserving cash by 
deferring previously planned projects and re-evaluating their short-term operating budgets. Although the 
Company is continuing to see proposal activity, we believe the current challenging economic environment 
will continue to impact the Company’s ability to enter into new contract services arrangements and to 
monetize the NEXTMap datasets in the foreseeable future. 

Operations

Operations expense includes aircraft costs, employee compensation, data processing costs, and third-party 
expenses related to the collection, processing, and editing of Intermap’s mapping data. 

Gross operations expense (prior to capitalization) for the years ended December 2010 and 2009 was 
$15.0 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The decrease in gross operations expense was primarily the 
result of the reduction in production operations (see “Personnel and Restructuring Costs”) that reflects the 
completion of the NEXTMap Europe and NEXTMap USA programs. Net operations expense for the year 
ended December 31, 2010 totaled $10.5 million, compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2009. 
Capitalized costs decreased from $10.9 million in 2009 to $4.5 million in 2010 due to the completion of the 
NEXTMap Europe and NEXTMap USA programs. 

Research and Development

Research and development (R&D) expense includes engineering personnel and their associated costs. For 
the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, R&D expense was $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. 
The decrease in R&D expense for 2010 resulted from fewer costs incurred on the Company’s NEXTMap 
services solutions, including consumer electronics and data products. The R&D costs incurred in 2010 
are primarily for both web services development and software development efforts associated with the 
continued development of internal data editing and processing tools. The R&D costs incurred during 2009 
were primarily attributable to software development efforts associated with the continued development of 
internal data editing and processing tools and the expansion of the Company’s NEXTMap services solutions 
(including risk management, data products, and consumer electronics applications). 

Sales, General and Administrative 

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense includes employee compensation, database 
infrastructure costs, business development, sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources, 
and facilities. For the year ended December 31, 2010, SG&A expense was $22.2 million, compared to $25.8 
million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in SG&A expense for 2010 resulted primarily from a 
reduction in personnel-related costs (see “Personnel and Restructuring Costs”) and a reduction in external 
consulting and professional services expenses. 

6

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Personnel and Restructuring Costs

Consolidated active employee headcount was 509 (including 330 in Jakarta, Indonesia) at December 31, 
2010, a decrease from 714 (including 437 in Jakarta, Indonesia) at December 31, 2009. The decrease was 
primarily driven by a decrease in operations personnel by approximately 28%, or 139 full-time personnel. 
The decrease in operations personnel resulted from the Company’s completion of the NEXTMap Europe and 
NEXTMap USA programs. R&D and SG&A personnel decreased by 30%, or 66 employees, during the year. 
Salaries and related personnel expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $20.2 million 
and $24.4 million, respectively. Salaries and related personnel expenses decreased primarily due to workforce 
and salary reductions initiated in the fourth quarter of 2009 and throughout 2010. In September 2010, the 
Company initiated further workforce reductions, which resulted in approximately $1.4 million in related 
severance and termination costs. On an annualized basis, the net impact on total expenses (after severance-
related costs) of the workforce reductions made in 2010 will be a reduction of approximately $4.6 million of 
personnel-related expenses. 

In January 2011, the Company made further workforce reductions and expects to incur $845 in related 
expenses during the first quarter of 2011. On an annualized basis, the net impact on total expenses 
(after severance-related costs) of the workforce reductions made in January 2011 will be a reduction of 
approximately $5.5 million of additional personnel-related expenses.

was $0.6 million in 2010, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2009. The capitalization 

of depreciation expense relates to the creation of the MCDL, and specifically relates to the 

dedication of internal resources (i.e., aircraft, radar, and production equipment) for the purpose of 

collecting and processing NEXTMap data. The decrease in the capitalization of depreciation is 

directly related to the ramp down of production associated with the creation of the NEXTMap 

datasets.

respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily the result of certain NEXTMap dedicated 
assets reaching the end of their useful lives. The capitalization of depreciation was $0.6 million in 2010,

capitalization of depreciation is directly related to the ramp down of production associated with the creation 
of the NEXTMap datasets.

Amortization of MCDL 

Amortization expense relating to the MCDL for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased to $14.7 million 
from $10.1 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in amortization expense was primarily due to 
the expansion of the underlying MCDL asset during 2010 and the application of the Company’s amortization 
policy (see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – MCDL”).

Loss (Gain) on the Disposal of Equipment

In June 2010, the Company closed its Ottawa office resulting in the write-off of the associated leasehold 
improvements and the disposal of equipment that could not be further utilized. A loss of $72 thousand 
relating to the disposal of equipment was recorded. On June 15, 2009, the Company sold one of its aircraft. 
Proceeds on the sale of the aircraft totaled $1.0 million and a gain was recognized on the sale of the aircraft 
of $119 thousand. 

Impairment of Multi-client Data Library

An impairment review was performed to determine if the carrying value of the NEXTMap USA and 
NEXTMap Europe asset groups were recoverable. The Company determined that the fair value of the 
datasets were insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, resulting in a pre-tax asset impairment 
charge of $52.8 million (see “NEXTMap”). 

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income is generated from investment of cash in only low-yield government-backed securities (see 
“Liquidity and Capital Resources”). The investment of these funds earned the Company $8 thousand in 
interest income during the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $24 thousand during the same 
period in 2009. The decrease in interest income in 2010 compared to 2009 is the result of a decrease in the 
amount of cash available for investment. 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $150 thousand, compared to $223 thousand 
for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense in 2010 compared to 2009 is due to the 
reduction of principal resulting from recurring payments on long-term debt and a term loan being paid in full 
on August 9, 2010.

Loss on Foreign Currency Translation

The Company continuously monitors the level of foreign currency assets and liabilities carried on the 
balance sheet in an effort to minimize as much of the foreign currency translation exposure as possible. 
Steps taken to minimize translation effects have included the movement of cash and cash equivalents 
between Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Euro, and United States dollar currencies. The result is a partial 
natural currency hedge for the Company.

8

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

During the year ended December 31, 2010, a foreign currency translation loss of $0.3 million was 
recognized, compared to a gain of $0.4 million for the same period in 2009. The loss for 2010 was primarily 
the result of losses on the amounts receivable balances held in foreign currencies and cash held in Euros as 
a result of the strengthening of the United States dollar. 

Income Tax

Current income tax expense of $58 thousand was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2010, 
compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2009. This expense relates to taxable income 
generated from the Company’s Indonesian, Slovak Republic, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, and 
Australian subsidiaries. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, a future income tax recovery of $22 thousand, compared to 
$7 thousand income tax expense for the same period in 2009, was recognized as a result of future tax 
expense related to the German subsidiary and a future income tax recovery resulting from the amortization 
of intangible assets held in the Czech Republic subsidiary, which have no tax basis. The Company did not 
recognize any income tax expense on any other operations during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 
2009 due to losses incurred in the United States and Canada. The benefit of unused tax losses in Germany 
have been recognized in the financial statements as it was determined that the German subsidiary was 
more likely than not to be able to realize the benefit from these losses. The benefit of unused tax losses from 
all other subsidiaries have not been recognized in the financial statements as the potential benefit has been 
offset by a valuation allowance.

Amounts Receivable and Unbilled Revenue

Work is performed on contracts that provide invoicing upon the completion of identified contract 
milestones. Revenue on certain of these contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion 
method of accounting based on the ratio of costs incurred to date over the estimated total costs to 
complete the contract. While an effort is made to schedule payments on contracts in accordance with work 
performed, the completion of milestones does not always coincide with the costs incurred on a contract, 
resulting in revenue being recognized in excess of billings. These amounts are recorded in the balance sheet 
as unbilled revenue. 

Amounts receivable and unbilled revenue decreased to $5.2 million at December 31, 2010 from $12.6 million 
at December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a collection in January 2010 of cash related to one 
large project totaling $6.8 million. These amounts represent 120 days’ sales at December 31, 2010, compared 
to 116 days’ sales at December 31, 2009, and reflect specific project billing milestones on current contracts 
that were in progress on those dates. 

The deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2010 increased by $4.2 million from December 31, 2009.  
This increase was primarily due to $4.5 million of payments received from customers on revenue contracts 
for which the Company has not yet fulfilled its obligations or which the necessary revenue recognition 
criteria has not been met. The revenue associated with these contracts is expected to be recognized during 
the first half of 2011.

Work in Process

Work in process generally results from the collection and processing of data for future licensing.  
The Company has recorded the costs incurred for this data collection as work in process, and such costs will 
be expensed (i) once a contract has been received and the data is delivered; or (ii) if it is determined that 
the costs are greater than the net realizable value. Work in process for the year ended December 31, 2010 

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

decreased to $59 thousand from $2.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily the result of a 
$1.8 million write down of previously collected mapping data in a specific region as it was determined that 
the recorded costs were greater than the net realizable value. The write down was charged to operations 
expense in 2010.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities generally include trade payables, project-related accruals, and 
personnel-related costs. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased slightly from $5.9 million in 2009 
to $6.0 million in 2010. Accounts payable at December 31, 2010 includes $1.6 million that was converted to a 
promissory note during 2010 that defines the payment terms of the outstanding accounts payable balance. 
The balance is payable during the first half of 2011. Accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010 include $0.8 
million of expenses related to a reduction in work force that occurred in the third quarter of 2010 and $0.3 
million related to the closure of the Company’s Ottawa office during 2010. At December 31, 2009, accrued 
liabilities include $0.5 million in costs related to a reduction in work force that occurred in the fourth quarter 
of 2009.

Assets Held for Sale and Deposit for Sale of Assets

During 2010, the Company committed to sell one of its IFSAR enabled aircraft, which is no longer required 
subsequent to the completion of the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets. The aircraft and IFSAR 
radar equipment (including associated processing technology and software tools) have a net book value of 
$1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The aircraft and associated IFSAR radar equipment are available 
for immediate sale and are presented as assets held for sale at December 31, 2010. The Company received 
payments totaling $4.0 million from the purchaser in December 2010, and such payments are presented 
as deposit for sale of assets at December 31, 2010, pending delivery of the aircraft and associated radar 
equipment to the customer. 

Capital Lease Obligations and Long-term Debt

Capital lease obligations and long-term debt totaled $1.4 million at December 31, 2010, compared to 
$2.9 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in capital lease obligations and long-term debt in 2010 
are due primarily to the maturing of two outstanding term loans in August 2010. The terms of these loans 
called for final payments totaling $0.6 million and such payments were made in August 2010. 

Other Long-term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities totaled $0.5 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $nil at December 31, 2009. 
In June 2010, the Company closed an office in Ottawa, Canada, resulting in the recognition of a liability for 
future lease payments of $0.8 million. Of the total obligation, $0.5 million was recorded as other long-term 
liabilities and $0.3 million was included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2010.

SG&A expense was $5.2 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in SG&A 
expense for 2010 resulted primarily from a reduction in personnel-related costs and a reduction in external 
consulting and professional services. These reductions were offset partially by an increase in rent expense 
related to the closure of the Company’s Ottawa, Canada office. The office closure resulted in the recording of 
an expense for future lease payments totaling $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2010, which is net of 
any estimated future sub-lease revenue.

Depreciation of Property and Equipment

For the fourth quarter of 2010, depreciation expense decreased by approximately $0.5 million, compared 
to the same period in 2009. The decrease in depreciation expense is primarily the result of certain NEXTMap 
dedicated assets reaching the end of their useful lives. The capitalization of depreciation was $52 thousand 
for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2009. The capitalization 
of depreciation expense relates to the creation of the MCDL, and specifically relates to the dedication 
of internal resources (i.e., aircraft, radar, and production equipment) for the purpose of collecting and 
processing NEXTMap data. 

Amortization of MCDL 

Amortization expense relating to the MCDL during the fourth quarter of 2010 increased to $3.9 million from 
$3.3 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in amortization expense was primarily due to the 
expansion of the underlying MCDL asset during 2010 and the application of the Company’s amortization 
policy (see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – MCDL”).

Cash used in operations during the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $8.2 million, compared to 

cash used in operations of $12.0 million during the same period in 2009. The decrease of total cash

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Cash used in operations during the year ended December 31, 2010 totaled $8.2 million, compared to cash 
used in operations of $12.0 million during the same period in 2009. The decrease of total cash used in 
operations during 2010 was the result of changes in working capital during 2010, specifically a decrease 
in amounts receivable of $8.1 million and an increase in deposits for sale of assets and deferred revenue 
totaling $4.4 million. 

Net cash generated by financing activities totaled $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, 
compared to net cash generated in financing activities totaling $7.5 million during the same period in 2009. 
The net cash generated by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily due to 
the completion of a share issuance of 8,125,000 shares for total gross consideration of $6.2 million  
(C$6.5 million). Cash generated from the share issuance was offset by cash used in the amounts of $0.7 million 
relating to securities issuance costs and $1.4 million for the repayment of long-term debt. Cash generated from 
financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 is primarily due to the completion of a share 
issuance of 5,750,000 units (each unit consists of one Class A common share of the Company and one-half 
of one common share purchase warrant) for total gross consideration of $9.5 million (C$11.5 million). Cash 
generated from the share issuance was offset by $0.8 million of securities issuance costs and $0.9 million from 
the repayment of long-term debt. 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared 
to $12.9 million during the same period in 2009. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended 
December 31, 2010 was primarily for investment in the MCDL of $4.6 million and the purchase of property 
and equipment of $1.1 million, compared to investment in the MCDL of $12.6 million and the purchase 
of property and equipment of $1.3 million during the same period in 2009. These amounts were offset by 
proceeds of $4.0 million and $1.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, 
generated from the sale of the Company’s aircraft. For the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the 
same period in 2009, investment in the MCDL decreased as the NEXTMap Europe and the NEXTMap USA 
datasets neared completion. Following the completion of the NEXTMap datasets, Management expects 
capital resources to be limited primarily to property and equipment required to support the Company’s 
information technology infrastructure and storage requirements for the MCDL. 

The cash position of the Company at December 31, 2010 (cash and cash equivalents) was $4.4 million 
compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2009. Working capital decreased to a negative $3.4 million as of 
December 31, 2010 from a positive $18.1 million as of December 31, 2009.

The negative working capital position at December 31, 2010 is primarily driven by deposits for sale of 
assets of $4.0 million and deferred revenue of $4.8 million. The deposits for sale of assets resulted from the 
receipt of payments for the purchase of an aircraft and radar system in the fourth quarter of 2010 for which 
the Company expects to deliver the assets to the purchaser in the second quarter of 2011. At December 
31, 2010, $4.5 million of the deferred revenue balance relates to payments received from customers on 
contracts for which the Company expects to recognize revenue during the first half of 2011. Management 
believes these two current obligations will not negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet financial or 
operational obligations during 2011 and the ultimate relief of the obligations, combined with anticipated 
improved operating results and / or financing activities, is expected to result in the Company returning to a 
positive working capital position during 2011. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss of $96.8 million and had negative 
cash flow from operations of $8.2 million. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $175.3 
million and its continuing operations are dependent on its ability to generate future profitable operations, 
sell excess capacity assets, or obtain additional financing to fund future operations and, ultimately, generate 
positive cash flows from operations.

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

13

The above factors raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
Management has taken actions to address these issues including several organizational restructurings, 
new senior management, sale of excess capacity assets, and a company-wide cost-reduction program. 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on Management’s ability to 
successfully generate a profit from operations, sell assets, or raise additional financing. Failure to achieve 
one or more of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial 
condition and / or results of operations. 

The Company cannot be certain that cash generated from its operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity 
requirements and it may need to continue to raise capital by selling additional equity and / or by securing 
credit facilities. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not 
limited to, the market acceptance of its products and services. No assurance can be given that any such 
additional funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership, including managerial involvement have been transferred to the buyer; (iii) the 
amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and (iv) costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured 
reliably. Billings in excess of revenue are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue recognized in excess of 
billings is recorded as unbilled revenue.

Goods Sold:
Revenue from the sale of MCDL licenses in the ordinary course is measured at the fair value of the 
consideration received or receivable. 

Fixed-price Contracts:
Revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, based 
on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated final costs. The use of the percentage of completion method 
requires estimates to determine the cost to complete each contract. These estimates are reviewed monthly 
and adjusted as necessary. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which the 
loss is determined. Contract losses are measured in the amount by which the estimated costs of the related 
project exceeds the estimated total revenue for the project.

Multiple Component Arrangements:
When a single sales transaction requires the delivery of more than one product or service (multiple 
components), the revenue recognition criteria are applied separately to identifiable components. A 
component is considered to be separately identifiable if the product or service delivered has stand-alone 
value to that customer, and the fair value associated with the product or service can be measured reliably. 
The amount recognized as revenue for each component is the fair value of the element in relation to the fair 
value of the arrangement as a whole.

MCDL

The Company maintains an MCDL, which results from the acquisition and processing of digital map data.  
All ownership rights to this data are retained by the Company, and the data is licensed to customers on 
a non-transferable basis. All of the direct costs of acquiring and processing the data are capitalized as an 
investment in the MCDL. These costs include direct overhead associated with the acquisition and processing 
of the data and the depreciation of the property and equipment used in the production of the data. 

14

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For NEXTMap programs, capitalized costs are amortized based on the percentage of total estimated costs 
to total estimated sales, multiplied by actual sales in the period. In the event the percentage changes as a 
result of a change in the estimate of total costs and / or total sales, amortization is adjusted accordingly. 

Any costs that remain unamortized 18 months after being capitalized are amortized on a monthly basis at 
the greater of (i) a straight-line monthly amortization charge over 60 months; and (ii) the calculated charge 
based on sales during the period. The amortization period of 60 months represents the minimum estimated 
useful life over which benefits from the data are expected to be derived.

The carrying value of the MCDL is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable through future cash flows. The Company has 
determined that the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets represent separate asset groups for 
impairment testing purposes. The Company has identified addressable markets for each of these datasets 
and has estimated future MCDL License sales and cash flows within these addressable markets. The forecasts 
of estimated MCDL cash flows are reviewed each quarter taking into account economic and market trends, 
technical advances, competitive developments, and actual sales versus forecasts. In December 2010, a 
strategic review of the Company’s approach to selling the NEXTMap datasets in the United States and Europe 
was undertaken by the new executive management of the Company. Upon completion of this review, it was 
determined that the historical pricing strategy of the NEXTMap datasets required downward adjustment 
and the Company could no longer afford to invest the resources necessary to exploit certain target markets 
previously identified. These changes, coupled with the Company’s history of losses, led the Company to 
perform an asset impairment review to determine if the carrying value of the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap 
Europe asset groups were recoverable. The Company determined that the future expected cash flows of the 
datasets were insufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, resulting in a pre-tax asset impairment 
charge of $52.8 million. Of this amount, $36.9 million applied to the NEXTMap USA asset and $15.9 million 
applied to NEXTMap Europe asset. Subsequent to the impairment charges, the net book value of the 
NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets at December 31, 2010 were $12.9 million and $10.1 million, 
respectively. The net book value of the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets at December 31, 2009 
was $56.3 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The impairment loss is included in impairment of multi-
client data library on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Work In Process

Work in process is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Management reviews the work 
in process regularly, and if in the estimation of management the net realizable value of the work in 
process is less than cost, a provision is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the work in process, and a 
corresponding expense is recognized thereby reducing the net income for the period. In the fourth quarter 
of 2010, the Company determined that the costs associated with data totaling $1.8 million were greater 
than the net realizable value, resulting in a write down of the work in process, and the write down was 
recorded to operations expense in 2010.

NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

In December 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issued EIC-175, “Multiple 
Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This Abstract addresses some aspects of the accounting by a vendor 
for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the 
Abstract addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains 
more than one unit of accounting. The provisions of EIC-175 must be applied on a prospective basis 
beginning in the first annual fiscal period commencing on or after January 1, 2011, but early adoption 
is permitted. When the period of adoption is not the first reporting period of the fiscal year, the abstract 
should be applied retroactively from the beginning of the fiscal year.

The criteria in the new standard for identifying deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement that 
represent separate units of accounting has been changed and entities are no longer required to 
have objective and reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable. The allocation of arrangement 
consideration amongst the separate units will now be based on a hierarchy of selling prices that includes 
(i) vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE), if available; (ii) third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price, if 
VSOE is unavailable; and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (BESP), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. 
VSOE is generally limited to the price charged when the same or similar product is sold separately. If a 
product or service is seldom sold separately, it is unlikely VSOE can be determined. TPE is determined based 
on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. The Company determines BESP for data 
licenses by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, ongoing pricing strategy and policies, 
market conditions, and historical pricing practices. 

Management believes it is appropriate to adopt EIC-175 early and on a prospective basis since it results in 
the measurement and recognition of revenues and cost of sales associated with data sales on a basis that is 
consistent with the way that Management measures and monitors the performance of the Company. 

Prior to the adoption of EIC-175, the Company applied EIC-142, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple 
Deliverables,” in concluding whether its sales arrangements containing multiple deliverables could be 
accounted for as separate units of accounting. The Company reviewed each deliverable to determine 
whether they represented separate units of accounting, and reviewed the evidence of fair value for each 
unit. The Company previously applied the residual method to determine the arrangement consideration 
allocated to delivered MCDL licenses in multi-element sales arrangements in which objective and reliable 
evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements existed. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into licensing agreements for its 
MCDL. These MCDL sales also included consulting services and data hosting services in the arrangement. 
The Company has applied the recommendations in EIC-175 to these MCDL license arrangements, and 
arrangement consideration has been allocated to the various deliverables based on their relative selling 
prices, as they were determined to be separate units of accounting. The selling price for contract services 
was determined using VSOE, for data hosting services using TPE, and for data licenses using BESP. Generally, 
revenues for MCDL sales are recognized on delivery, and for consulting services and hosting services 
revenues are recognized as the services are provided. Had EIC-142 been applied, the Company would have 
used the residual method to determine the arrangement consideration allocated to data licenses. 

The adoption of EIC-175 did not have a significant impact on the amount, pattern, and timing of revenue 
recognized during 2010 or 2009. The adoption of the standard may result in revenues being recognized 
earlier in future periods as a result of the simplified criteria to be used in determining units of accounting 
and the use of the relative selling price method.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The conversion from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will be applicable to the 
Company’s reporting for the first quarter of 2011, for which the current and comparative information will be 
prepared under IFRS.

The Company commenced its IFRS conversion project in 2008. The project consists of three main phases: 
project plan and scoping, evaluation and design, and implementation and review. 

The Company has completed the first two phases, which include development of a conversion program, 
a comprehensive analysis of the major differences between GAAP and IFRS applicable to the Company, 
identification of accounting policy alternatives, and a review of the information technology systems and the 
impact of the conversion on the business activities and internal control environment. 

16

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Company has commenced phase three, which consists of an implementation of all differences 
between GAAP and IFRS, documentation of processes and controls related to the changes, and preliminary 
preparation of the consolidated financial statements and notes.

The Company has determined the differences between the standards, along with preferred accounting 
policies under IFRS. The areas affected by the conversion, as well as the impact to the financial statements, 
are as follows: 

First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 1) – The adoption of IFRS will require the 
application of IFRS 1, which provides guidance of an entity’s initial adoption of IFRS. IFRS 1 generally requires 
that an entity apply all IFRS effective at the end of its first IFRS reporting period retrospectively. However, IFRS 
1 does not include certain mandatory exceptions and limited optional exemptions in specified areas of certain 
standards from this general requirement. The following are the significant optional exemptions available 
under IFRS 1 that the Company expects to apply in its first financial statements under IFRS: (i) business 
combinations – the Company has elected to not apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” retrospectively to past 
business combinations. Accordingly, the Company has not restated business combinations that took place 
prior to the transition date; (ii) borrowing costs – the Company has elected to apply IAS 23, “Borrowing Costs,” 
prospectively as of the date of transition. Accordingly, the Company has not restated borrowing costs that 
were expensed prior to the transition date; (iii) fair value or revaluation as deemed cost – the Company has 
elected not to record property, plant, and equipment at fair value at the date of transition and will continue 
to use a historical cost basis; and (iv) cumulative translation differences – the Company has elected to set 
the previously accumulated cumulative translation account, which was included in accumulated other 
comprehensive income, to zero at January 1, 2010 and absorbed the previously accumulated cumulative 
translation balance into retained earnings. This exemption has been applied to all subsidiaries. The remaining 
optional exemptions are not expected to be significant to the Company’s adoption of IFRS.

Property and Equipment – IFRS requires a “component” approach to classifying assets in which certain classes 
of assets may be separated into components and depreciated over separate useful lives. The main assets 
identified for further componentization are the Company’s aircraft. The Company has determined that the 
property and equipment balance will decrease by $78 thousand as of the transition date as a result of this 
approach to classifying assets.

Impairment – IFRS requires property, plant, equipment, intangibles, and goodwill to be assessed for 
impairment at the “cash-generating unit” level, rather than the reporting unit level considered by GAAP. 
Recognizing that the method to assess impairment is different from GAAP, the Company has evaluated the 
carrying value of its MCDL datasets under IFRS and determined that there is no impairment to the assets 
as of the transition date. Under GAAP, a two step approach is followed. In the first step the discounted cash 
flows are compared to the carrying value of the asset group to determine if there is any impairment. If the 
undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value then no second step is performed. If the undiscounted 
cash flows do not exceed the carrying value of the asset group then the fair value of the asset group is 
determined in order to assess the impairment charge. IFRS uses a single approach and the fair value of cash 
generating units is determined in order to assess any impairment charge. 

Multi-Client Data Library – The Company applied a sales forecast method to the MCDL under GAAP. Under 
IFRS the Company will amortize these assets on a straight-line basis over their useful life. Additionally, the 
net book value of the MCDL assets will be increased by $2.2 million as of the transition date to retroactively 
apply the Company’s amortization policy under IFRS to the MCDL. 

Provisions – Recognition and measurement differences exist with respect to thresholds for establishing 
liabilities and the determination of the amount of provisions to be recorded. For example, IFRS requires 
liabilities to be established as a result of past practice or actions even if no legal obligation exists. 
Management has identified restructuring provisions that would have to be recognized earlier under IFRS, 
compared to GAAP, which result in an increase in accrued liabilities of $0.7 million as of the transition date. 

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

17

Share-based Payments – IFRS requires that awards that vest in installments be measured and accounted 
for as though each installment is a separate award with the fair value being recognized over the vesting 
period of each installment. As a result, more compensation expense will be recognized under IFRS in the 
earlier portion of the vesting period than under GAAP. Additionally, the increase in expense will increase the 
Contributed Surplus balance by $1.0 million as of the transition date.

Functional Currency – IFRS requires each entity to determine its functional currency based on the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates. This assessment is made by first evaluating primary 
indicators, which include: (i) currency that mainly influences sales prices; (ii) currency that mainly influences 
labor, material, and other costs; and (iii) country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly 
determine sales prices. 

The following table identifies the impact of the transition from GAAP to IFRS as of the transition date of 
January 1, 2010:

Internal Control Risks

Internal controls over financial reporting have been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer, reviewed and evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls over 
financial reporting (as defined by Multilateral Instrument 52-109) and concluded that sufficient controls 
exist at December 31, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. There have 
been no changes in the design of internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year 
ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

The risks and uncertainties described below are not exhaustive. Additional risks not presently known or 
currently deemed immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operation. If any of the events 
described in the following business risks actually occur, overall business, operating results, and the financial 
condition of the Company could be materially adversely affected. 

Revenue Fluctuations

Intermap’s revenue has fluctuated over the years. Mapping projects, the purchase of archived data, and 
the purchase of geospatial solutions are all scheduled according to client requirements and the timing of 
regulatory and / or budgetary decisions. The commencement or completion of mapping projects within 
a particular quarter or year, the timing of regulatory approvals, operating decisions of clients, and the 
fixed-cost nature of Intermap’s business, among other factors, may cause the Company’s results to vary 
significantly between fiscal years and between quarters in the same fiscal year.

Availability of Capital

The Company cannot be certain that cash generated from its operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity 
requirements and it may need to raise capital by selling additional equity and / or by securing credit facilities. 
The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the 
market acceptance of its products and services. No assurance can be given that any such additional funding 
will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.

The Company currently has no commitments for additional working capital funding and therefore its ability 
to meet any unexpected liquidity needs is uncertain. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of 
equity securities, the Company’s shareholders may experience significant dilution. Furthermore, if additional 
financing is not available when required, or is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be 
unable to develop or market its products, take advantage of business opportunities, or may be required to 
significantly curtail its business operations.

The Company is uncertain what impact the current volatility in worldwide credit and equity markets may 
have on its ability to obtain future financing. Since 2008, there has been unprecedented turmoil in equity 
and credit markets, hedge fund closures, and massive market interventions by the United States and 
foreign governments. Because of the severity of these market events and because the markets currently 
remain volatile, the Company cannot predict what effect these events will have on its ability to obtain 
financing in the future, if required. 

Nature of Government Contracts

Intermap conducts a significant portion of its business either directly or in cooperation with the United States 
government, other governments around the world, and international funding agencies. In many cases, the 

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

19

terms of these contracts provide for cancellation at the option of the government or agency at any time. 
In addition, many of Intermap’s products and services require government appropriations and regulatory 
licenses, permits, and approvals, the timing and receipt of which are not within Intermap’s control. Any of 
these factors could have an effect on Intermap’s revenue, earnings, and cash flow.

General Economic Trends

The worldwide economic slowdown and tightening of credit in the financial markets may impact the 
business of our customers, which could have an adverse effect on Intermap’s business, financial condition, 
or results of operations. Adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major 
countries in which the Company does business could also adversely affect Intermap’s operating results.

Key Customers

During 2010, the Company had five key customers that accounted for 50% of the Company’s total revenue. 
In 2009, the Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 55% of the Company’s total 
revenue. To the extent that significant customers cancel or delay orders, Intermap’s revenue, earnings, and 
cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.

Executive Talent 

Intermap is in a repositioning phase in its markets. This repositioning, coupled with the development of 
new product lines, web services, and developing applications, requires the retention of executive talent.  
The Company will continue to invest in training and leadership development in response to the changes 
within the Company to retain talent. Although Intermap has a talented team of experienced executives, it 
may not be able to further develop executive talent internally or attract and retain enough executive talent 
to effectively manage the anticipated growth and changes within the Company.

Common Share Price Volatility 

The market price of the Company’s common shares has fluctuated widely in recent periods and is likely 
to continue to be volatile. A number of factors can affect the market price of Intermap’s common stock, 
including (i) actual or anticipated variations in operating results; (ii) the low daily trading volume of the 
Company’s stock; (iii) announcement of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its 
competitors; (iv) competition, including pricing pressures and the potential impact of competitors products 
on sales; (v) changing conditions in the digital mapping and related industries; (vi) unexpected production 
difficulties; (vii) changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding 
Intermap or its competitors; (viii) announcements by Intermap or its competitors of acquisitions, strategic 
partnerships, or joint ventures; (ix) additions or departures of senior management; and (x) changes in 
economic or political conditions. 

Additionally, in recent years, the stock market in general and shares of technology companies in 
particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been 
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these technology companies. These broad 
market and industry fluctuations may harm the market price of Intermap’s common stock, regardless of 
its operating results.

Loss of Proprietary Information

Intermap does not hold patents on the technology used in its operations and relies principally on trade 
secrets, know-how, expertise, experience, and the marketing ability of its personnel to remain competitive. 
Although Intermap requires all employees, consultants, and third parties to agree to keep its proprietary 
information confidential, no assurance can be given that the steps taken by Intermap will be effective in 
deterring misappropriation of its technologies. Additionally, no assurance can be given that employees 

20

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

or consultants will not challenge the legitimacy or scope of their confidentiality obligations, or that third 
parties, in time, could not independently develop and deploy equivalent or superior technologies.

Information Technology Security

The success of the NEXTMap programs has resulted in the NEXTMap database becoming the single most 
valuable asset of the Company. While Intermap has invested in database management, information 
technology security, firewalls, and offsite duplicate storage, there is a risk of a loss of data through 
unauthorized access or a customer violating the terms of the Company’s end user licensing agreements and 
distributing unauthorized copies of its data. Intermap has, and will continue to, invest in both legal resources 
to strengthen its licensing agreements with its customers and in overall information technology protection.

Breakdown of Strategic Alliances

Intermap has fostered a number of key alliances over the past several years and intends to enter into new 
alliances in the future. The Company believes these new alliances will help enable access to significant 
scalable markets that would not otherwise be accessible in a timely manner. The breakdown or termination 
of some or all of those alliances could have a material impact on the Company. At this time, the Company is 
not aware of any material issues in its strategic relationships. Should any one of these companies be unable 
to continue its alliance with Intermap, or otherwise choose to dissolve the relationship, the Company would 
seek to replace the connection with other entities, but there is no guarantee such replacement would occur.

New Competing Technologies

It is possible that commercially available satellite images could, in the future, match the image resolution 
offered by the Company’s IFSAR technology. However, the Company believes that the technology to 
perform three-dimensional radar imaging from space at 1-meter resolution with postings every 5 meters 
is considered to be three or more years away. In any event, Intermap is developing modifications in its 
data collection capabilities to improve the performance of its IFSAR technology. Although there are only 
a few direct Intermap competitors currently, the industry is characterized by rapid technological progress. 
Intermap’s ability to continue to develop and introduce new products and services, or incorporate 
enhancements to existing products and services, may require significant additional research and 
development expenditures and investments in equipment. 

Another approach to production of digital elevation models is the use of auto correlation software to 
analyze common points in two or more optical images of the same area taken from different viewing angles. 
Essentially this is the same principle that is used by technicians as they extract elevation points using stereo 
photogrammetric techniques, but in this case it is automated using computer software image matching 
algorithms. This process is well known and has been used with limited success over small areas. Advances 
in computing power, coupled with massive storage solutions, may make this technology useful over larger 
areas in the future, and if so, could represent a significant competing technology.

Any required additional financing needed by the Company to remain competitive with these other 
technologies may not be available or, if available, may not be on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Exporting Products – Political Considerations

Intermap’s data collection systems contain technology that is classified as a defense article under the 
International Traffic and Arms Regulations. All mapping efforts undertaken outside the United States, 
therefore, constitute a temporary export of a defense article, requiring prior written approval by 
the United States Department of State for each country within which mapping operations are to be 
performed. The Company does not currently anticipate that requirements for export permits will have 
a material impact on the Company’s operations, although either government policy or government 

2010 Annual Report | Management’s Discussion and Analysis

21

relations with select foreign countries may change to the point of affecting the Company’s operational 
opportunities. The data produced by Intermap’s IFSAR system falls under Department of Commerce 
regulations and is virtually unrestricted.

Foreign Operations

A significant portion of Intermap’s revenue is expected to come from customers outside of the United States 
and is therefore subject to additional risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, agreements 
that may be difficult to enforce, receivables difficult to collect through a foreign country’s legal system, and 
the imposition of foreign-country-imposed withholding taxes or other foreign taxes. Intermap relies on 
contract prepayments or letters of credit to secure payment from certain of its customers when deemed 
necessary. The Company has in the past secured export credit insurance on certain of its international 
receivables, which greatly reduces the commercial and political risks of operating outside of North America.

Political Instability

Intermap understands that not every region enjoys the political stability that is taken for granted in 
North America. Developments in recent years in the Middle East and Asia illustrate this clearly. Political or 
significant instability in a region where Intermap is conducting data collection activities, or where Intermap 
has clients, could adversely impact Intermap’s business.

Regulatory Approvals

The development and application of certain of the Company’s products requires the approval of applicable 
regulatory authorities. A failure to obtain such approval on a timely basis, or material conditions imposed by 
such authority in connection with the approval, would materially affect the prospects of the Company.

Aircraft/Radar Lost or Damaged

Although the Company believes that the probability of one of the Company’s aircraft or radar sustaining 
significant damage or being lost in its entirety is extremely low, such damage or loss could occur. Now that the 
data collection associated with the Company’s NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe programs is complete, 
the Company is expected to have available to it, for data collection purposes, one additional aircraft at any 
given time. The risk to the Company of loss from the damage of an aircraft is therefore considered to be 
minimal. In the event that a radar mapping system is lost in its entirety through the destruction of the aircraft, 
the Company would take approximately six to nine months to replace the lost equipment, if required.

Global Positioning System (“GPS”) Failure

GPS satellites have been available to the commercial market for many years. The continued unrestricted 
access to the signals produced by these GPS satellites is a requirement in the collection of the Company’s 
IFSAR data. A loss of GPS would have such a global impact that it is believed that controlling authorities 
would almost certainly make another system available to GPS receivers in relatively short order.

Force Majeure

The Company’s projects may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including 
labor unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other 
catastrophes, epidemics, or quarantine restrictions. 

Additional Information

Additional risk factors may be detailed in the Company’s Annual Information Form, which can be found on 
the Company’s website at www.intermap.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Auditors’ Report to the Shareholders

23

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Intermap Technologies Corporation, 
which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the 
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit and cash flows for the years then 
ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal 
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We 
conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards 
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in 
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Corporation’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on 
the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness 
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well 
as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

Opinion

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a 
basis for our audit opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated  financial  position  of  Intermap  Technologies  Corporation  as  at  December  31,  2010  and

Emphasis of Matter

Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which 
describes that for the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company incurred a net loss of $96,872,000, had 
negative cash flow from operations of $8,160,000 and as at December 31, 2010 has an accumulated deficit 
of $175,377,000. These conditions, along with other matters described in Note 1, indicate the existence of a 
material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

$96,872,000, had negative cash flow from operations of $8,160,000 and as at December 31, 2010 has an 
accumulated  deficit  of  $175,377,000.  These  conditions,  along  with  other  matters  described  in  Note  1, 
indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability 
to continue as a going concern.

Intermap Technologies® Corporation (the Company) is incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada. 
Intermap® is a digital mapping company creating uniform high-resolution 3D digital models of the earth’s 
surface. The Company is mapping entire countries and building a uniform national database, called 
NEXTMap®, consisting of elevation data and orthorectified radar images.

1.	 Going	concern:	

These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. 
The going concern basis of presentation assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable 
future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course 
of business. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss of $96,872, and had 
negative cash flow from operations of $8,160. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of 
$175,377, and its continuing operations are dependent on its ability to generate future profitable operations, 
sell excess capacity assets, or obtain additional financing to fund future operations, and ultimately, generate 
positive cash flows from operations.

The above factors raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
Management has taken actions to address these issues including an organizational restructuring, sale of 
excess capacity assets, a company-wide cost reduction program, and a revised approach to pricing and 
selling the Company’s products and services. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is 
dependent on Management’s ability to successfully generate a profit from operations, sell assets, or obtain 
additional financing. Failure to achieve one or more of these requirements could have a material adverse 
effect on the Company’s financial condition and / or results of operations. 

The Company cannot be certain that cash generated from its operations will be sufficient to satisfy its liquidity 
requirements and it may need to continue to raise capital by selling additional equity and / or by securing 
credit facilities. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not 
limited to, the market acceptance of its products and services. No assurance can be given that any such 
additional funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company.

The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption 
was not appropriate. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these financial statements, then 
adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and 
expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

2.	 Summary	of	significant	accounting	policies:	

a.	 Basis	of	consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly 
owned subsidiaries, Intermap Technologies Inc. and Intermap Federal Services Inc. (both U.S. corporations); 
Intermap Technologies GmbH (a German corporation); Intermap Technologies UK Limited (a U.K. corporation); 
Intermap Technologies PTY Ltd (an Australian corporation); Intermap Technologies s.r.o. (a Czech Republic 
corporation); Intermap Technologies s.r.o. (a Slovak Republic corporation); a 90% owned subsidiary,  
PT ExsaMap Asia (an Indonesian corporation); and a 49.9% owned joint venture, PASCOMap LLC.  
The PASCOMap joint venture was dissolved in December of 2010 (see Note 4).

b.	 Use	of	estimates:

Preparing financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles 
requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the 
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 
Significant management estimates are found in the impairment of and useful lives of long-lived assets, net 
realizable value of work in process, and in the estimated costs to complete contracts accounted for under the 
percentage-of-completion method.

c.	 Work	in	Process:	

Year ended December 31, 2010

(d) Property and equipment: 

Work in process is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. When work in process is sold, 
the carrying amount of the work in process is recognized as an expense in the period in which the 
related revenue is recognized. The amount of any write-down of work in process to net realizable value 
is recognized as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. During the year ended 
December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a write-down of work in process of $1,869 relating to 
previously collected mapping data in a specific region as it was determined that the recorded costs were 
greater than the net realizable value.

g.	 Impairment	of	long-lived	assets:

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, MCDL, and intangible assets, are grouped at the 
lowest level of independent cash flows and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Negative historical 
financial results, reduced revenue forecasts, and the Company’s ability to fund future product development 
activities are some of the indicators the Company uses in evaluating whether impairment may exist. The 
Company also makes assessments as to whether current revenue declines based on market and economic 
conditions are an indication of the expected long-term value realization of the long-lived assets. 

Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future 
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated 
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying value of the 
asset exceeds its fair value. 

h.	 Leases:

Leases are classified as either capital or operating in nature. Capital leases are those that substantially 
transfer the benefits and risks of ownership to the lessee. Assets acquired under capital leases are 
depreciated at the same rates as those described in Note 2(d). Obligations recorded under capital leases 
are reduced by the principal portion of lease payments. The imputed interest portion of lease payments is 
charged to expense.

i.	 Assets	held	for	sale:

Assets held for sale represent those assets for which the Company has commited to a plan to (i) sell the asset; 
(ii) are available for immediate sale; (iii) have actively sought to locate a buyer; and (iv) the sale is expected 
to be completed within one year. These assets are being marketed for a price that is reasonable in relation 
to the assets current fair value. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying 
amount or fair value less cost to sell and are not amortized while classified as held for sale. Interest and other 
expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be accrued.

j.	 Deferred	lease	inducements:

Deferred lease inducements represent the unamortized cost of lease inducements on certain of the 
Company’s leased commercial office space. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the lease and recognized as a reduction in rent expense.

k.	 Foreign	currency	translation:

The measurement currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States dollar. Integrated 
foreign operations and foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated using the 
temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing rates 
of exchange, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historic exchange rates, and revenue and 
expense items are translated at prevailing average exchange rates during the year. Exchange gains and 
losses are included in the statement of operations.

l.	

Income	taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. 
Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing 
assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using 
enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability 
settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the 
period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs.

value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until counterparty 

performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same 

manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. 

Upon exercise of a stock option, share capital is recorded as the sum of the cash proceeds 

received and the related amount of contributed surplus. 

(p) Loss per share: 

The basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares 

outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss 

per share, except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional 

shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of 

additional shares for stock options and warrants is calculated by assuming outstanding stock 

options and warrants were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire 

shares of common stock at the average market price during the year.  

(q) Financial instruments: 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and their subsequent 

measurement is dependent on their classification. The following is a summary of the 

classification the Company has applied to each of its significant categories of financial 

instruments outstanding:

The Company has not designated any financial assets as AFS.

2010 Annual Report | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

m.	 Revenue	recognition:

Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership, including managerial involvement have been transferred to the buyer; (iii) the 
amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and (iv) costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured 
reliably. Billings in excess of revenue are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue recognized in excess of 
billings is recorded as unbilled revenue.

Goods Sold:
Revenue from the sale of MCDL licenses in the ordinary course is measured at the fair value of the 
consideration received or receivable. 

Fixed-price Contracts:
Revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, based 
on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated final costs. The use of the percentage of completion method 
requires estimates to determine the cost to complete each contract. These estimates are reviewed monthly 
and adjusted as necessary. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which the 
loss is determined. Contract losses are measured in the amount by which the estimated costs of the related 
project exceed the estimated total revenue for the project.

Multiple Component Arrangements:
When a single sales transaction requires the delivery of more than one product or service (multiple 
components), the revenue recognition criteria are applied separately to identifiable components. A 
component is considered to be separately identifiable if the product or service delivered has stand-alone 
value to that customer and the fair value associated with the product or service can be measured reliably. 
The amount recognized as revenue for each component is the fair value of the element in relation to the fair 
value of the arrangement as a whole.

n.	 Research	and	development:

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed in the year incurred unless 
Management believes a development project meets the generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral 
and amortization. Funding received in respect of research and development agreements is recorded as a 
reduction of research and development expenses.

o.	 Stock-based	compensation:

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan which is described in Note 12(g). The Company 
accounts for all stock-based awards to employees and non-employees using the fair value based method. 
Under the fair value based method, stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value 
of the consideration received, the fair value of the equity instrument issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever 
is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically 
re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the 
period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity 
instruments. Upon exercise of a stock option, share capital is recorded as the sum of the cash proceeds 
received and the related amount of contributed surplus.

p.	 Loss	per	share:

The basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding 
during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except the 
weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise 
of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares for stock options and warrants is 
calculated by assuming outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and the proceeds from such 
exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the year.

Held-to-maturity (“HTM”)
HTM financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed 
maturity, other than loans and receivables; the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to 
maturity. These financial assets are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. 
The short-term deposits classified as HTM financial assets are recorded as cash and cash equivalents on the 
accompanying balance sheet. Interest earned on these instruments is included in interest income.

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Loans and 
receivables are recorded at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. The instruments classified 
as loans and receivables are recorded as amounts receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. 

Other liabilities
This includes all financial liabilities that are not required to be designated by the Company as held for 
trading upon initial recognition. Other liabilities are recorded at amortized cost, using the effective interest 
rate method. The instruments classified as other liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, 
other long-term liabilities, deposit for sale of assets, and long-term debt, and are recorded as such on the 
accompanying balance sheet.

r.	 Derivatives:

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had one derivative instrument, resulting from a written put option 
held by a non-controlling investor in the Company’s Indonesian subsidiary, P.T. ExsaMap Asia. The Company is 
required to recognize a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount of the put instrument 
held by the minority interest holder. The present value of the redemption amount at December 31, 2010 is 
approximately $21. However, based on terms set out in the agreement between the Company and the non-
controlling investor, the Company had provided the investor with an advance of $21on this redemption amount. 
As such, the Company has offset the financial liability against the advance on its consolidated balance sheet.

s.	 Comprehensive	income	(loss):

All exchange differences resulting from the Company’s adoption of the Unites States dollar as its reporting 
currency, effective January 1, 2005, were recorded in the cumulative translation account, which now forms 
part of accumulated other comprehensive income within the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company 
did not recognize any changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets or any self-sustaining 
subsidiaries in other comprehensive income during the period. 

t.	 Joint	venture:

The Company uses the proportionate consolidation method to account for its interest in PASCOMap LLC, 
as there is joint control over the related economic activity. The Company determines joint control when 
there is existence of a contractual agreement to share continuing power with other participating parties to 
determine strategic operating, investing, and financing activities of the joint venture.

u.	 New	accounting	policies:

In December 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issued EIC-175, “Multiple 
Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” This Abstract addresses some aspects of the accounting by a vendor 
for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, the 
Abstract addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains 
more than one unit of accounting. The provisions of EIC-175 must be applied beginning in the first annual 
fiscal period commencing on or after January 1, 2011, but early adoption is permitted.

When the period of adoption is not the first reporting period of the fiscal year, the abstract should be 
applied retroactively from the beginning of the fiscal year.

The criteria in the new standard for identifying deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement that 
represent separate units of accounting has been changed and entities are no longer required to 
have objective and reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable. The allocation of arrangement 
consideration amongst the separate units will now be based on a hierarchy of selling prices which includes 
(i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), if available; (ii) third-party evidence (TPE) of selling price if 
VSOE is unavailable; and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. 
VSOE is generally limited to the price charged when the same or similar product is sold separately. If a 
product or service is seldom sold separately, it is unlikely VSOE can be determined. TPE is determined based 
on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. The Company determines BESP for data 
licenses by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, ongoing pricing strategy and policies, 
market conditions, and historical pricing practices. 

Management believes it is appropriate to adopt EIC-175 early since it results in the measurement and 
recognition of revenues and cost of sales associated with data sales on a basis that is consistent with the 
way that Management measures and monitors the performance of the Company. 

Prior to the adoption of EIC-175, the Company applied EIC-142, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple 
Deliverables,” in concluding whether its sales arrangements containing multiple deliverables could be 
accounted for as separate units of accounting. The Company reviewed each deliverable to determine 
whether they represented separate units of accounting and reviewed the evidence of fair value for each 
unit. The Company previously applied the residual method to determine the arrangement consideration 
allocated to delivered MCDL licenses in multi-element sales arrangements where objective and reliable 
evidence of the fair value of all undelivered elements existed. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into licensing agreements for its MCDL 
that also included consulting services and hosting services in the arrangement. The Company has applied 
the recommendations in EIC-175 to these MCDL license sales and arrangement consideration has been 
allocated to the various deliverables based on their relative selling prices, as they were determined to be 

2010 Annual Report | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

33

separate units of accounting. The selling price for contract services was determined using VSOE, for hosting 
services using TPE, and for data licenses BESP was used. Generally, revenues for MCDL sales are recognized 
on delivery and for consulting services and hosting services revenues are recognized as the services are 
provided. Had EIC-142 been applied, the Company would have used the residual method to determine the 
arrangement consideration allocated to data licenses. 

The adoption of EIC-175 did not have a significant impact on the amount, pattern, and timing of revenue 
recognized during 2009. The adoption of the standard may result in revenues being recognized earlier in 
future periods as a result of the simplified criteria to be used in determining units of accounting and the use 
of the relative selling price method. 

3.	 Future	accounting	standards:

The conversion from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will be applicable to the 
Company’s reporting for the first quarter of 2011, for which the current and comparative information will be 
prepared under IFRS. The Company is on schedule to meet the required reporting date.

4.	

Joint	venture:

During 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with PASCO Corporation. The joint 
venture, PASCOMap LLC, was 49.9% owned by the Company and 50.1% owned by PASCO Corporation and 
was formed to develop, market, and license digital elevation model data using radargrammetry technology 
and satellite radar data. The joint venture was dissolved in December 2010. As of December 31, 2010, 
amounts included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements related to PASCOMap LLC were cash 
of $nil (2009 – $19), accounts payable of $nil (2009 – $56) and operating cost of $14 (2009 – $39). As of 
December 31, 2010, there are no material commitments or contingencies related to the joint venture. 

5.	 Asset	held	for	sale:

During 2010, the Company committed to sell one of its IFSAR-enabled aircraft, which is no longer required 
subsequent to the completion of the NEXTMap USA and NEXTMap Europe datasets. The aircraft and IFSAR 
radar equipment have a net book value of $1,354 and $346, respectively. The aircraft and associated IFSAR 
radar equipment (including associated processing technology and software tools) are available for immediate 
sale and are presented within current assets as assets held for sale on the December 31, 2010 consolidated 
balance sheet. The Company received payments totaling $4,000 from the purchaser in December 2010, and 
such payments are presented in the December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet within current liabilities as 
deposit for sale of assets, pending delivery of the aircraft and associated radar equipment. The assets held for 
sale were determined to have a fair value (less estimated costs to sell) in excess of the carrying value, and are 
therefore recorded at book value as of December 31, 2010.

The differences in the amounts deductible for tax and accounting purposes relate primarily to 

differences in the values of property and equipment on these bases. 

The recognition of intangible assets from an acquisition in 2007 resulted in a temporary difference 

between the assigned value for book purposes and the tax basis of the intangible assets. The carrying 

values of the intangible assets were grossed up, and a future tax liability of $505 was recorded to 

reflect this temporary difference. The future tax liability is utilized over a period of five years 

(consistent with the amortization of intangible assets) as future income tax recovery. 

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the future tax 

asset will not be realized. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the future tax 

asset due to the uncertainty of future Company earnings.

ii.	 Investments	in	securities

The Company manages its credit risk surrounding cash and cash equivalents by dealing solely with 
what Management believes to be reputable banks and financial institutions, and limiting the allocation 
of excess funds into financial instruments that Management believes to be highly liquid, low-risk 
investments. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents include $3,750 of money 
market investments in short-term treasury bills with a United States bank (year ended December 31, 2009 
– $5,441). The remaining balance at December 31, 2010 is held in cash at banks within the United States, 
Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia to facilitate the payment of operations in those jurisdictions. 

b.	 Market	risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will 
affect the Company’s income or the value of its holding of financial instruments.

i.	 Foreign	exchange	risk

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk from various currencies, 
primarily the Canadian dollar, Euro, British pound, Indonesian rupiah, Czech Republic koruna, and 
Australian dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from sales and purchase transactions as well as recognized 
financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar, 
which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Interest rate risk 

ii.	 Interest	rate	risk
ii.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate 
because of changes in market interest rates.

Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash 
flow interest rate risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid 
investments that earn interest at market rates. The Company does not have any debt instruments 
outstanding with variable interest rates at December 31, 2010.

Financial liabilities that bear interest at fixed rates are subject to fair value interest rate risk. No currency 
hedging relationships have been established for the related monthly interest and principle payments.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by minimizing financing costs on its borrowings and 
maximizing interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to 
conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. 

c.	 Liquidity	risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due.

INTERMAP TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share information)

The Company manages its liquidity risk by evaluating working capital availability and forecasting cash flows 
from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2010, the Company 
has a cash and cash equivalent balance of $4,356 (year ended December 31, 2009 – $10,355) and working 
capital of negative $3,350 (year ended December 31, 2009 – $18,091). All of the Company’s financial 
liabilities, other than the promissory note included with accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term 
debt and obligations under capital lease, have a contractual maturity of less than 45 days.

Year ended December 31, 2010

(d) Fair values 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, unbilled revenue, 

accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities, and deposit for sale of assets 

approximate their fair value given their relatively short period to maturity. The carrying value 

of long-term debt and obligations under capital lease approximates their fair value, as current 

market rates available to the Company are similar to those on the long-term debt and 

obligations under capital lease. 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified 

using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the 

measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: 

Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or 

liabilities;

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial 
instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered 
in measuring fair value.

There are no financial instruments measured at fair value other than cash which is classified as Level 1. 
During the year, there have been no transfers of amounts between any categories. There are no items 
classified in Level 2 or Level 3 as of December 31, 2010.
