IGEN Networks Corp
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Six Months ended June 30, 2011
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
IGEN Networks Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 14, 2006. The Company has been in the development stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. The Company’s principal business is providing high-speed Internet, Phone and Data services to rural communities.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues since inception, has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to develop and expand its broadband licensed technology. As at June 30, 2011 the Company has a working capital deficit of $751,274 (December 2010 - $674,586) and has accumulated losses of $3,476,480 (December 2010 - $3,399,792) since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its common stock and possible loans from related parties to fund operation over the next twelve months. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States expressed in US dollars and in management’s opinion have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated expenses, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted earnings per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted earnings per share exclude all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the effect of conversion of the Company’s dilutive securities is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
d) Financial Instruments
In 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements”. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
- Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets.
- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
- Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder’s loans approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility to these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Financial instrument that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions.
e) Foreign Currency Transactions/Balances
The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar and these financial statements are presented in United States dollar unless otherwise stated. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates, except for items carried at market value, which are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)
f) Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10. FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable or deductible temporary. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
g) Changes in Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. Under FASB ASC 105 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification supersedes all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The Company changed the Company’s references to U.S. GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance announced the release of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112. This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Specifically, the staff is updating the Series in order to bring existing guidance into conformity with recent pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, namely, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007) (ASC Topic 805), Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (ASC Topic 810), Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The statements in staff accounting bulletins are not rules or interpretations of the Commission, nor are they published as bearing the Commission's official approval. They represent interpretations and practices followed by the Division of Corporation Finance and the Office of the Chief Accountant in administering the disclosure requirements of the Federal securities laws.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)
In April 2009, an update was made to the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, that provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the assets or liability have significantly decreased. This update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In April 2009, an update was made to FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. This update is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB announced the issuance of FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, formerly referenced as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. FASB ASC 855 should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, FASB ASC 855 introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained. The Company has already adopted this policy and its full disclosure is included in Note 8.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718)”, which addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. The Update provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment award that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the financial statements.
(h) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
i) Comprehensive loss
FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at June 30, 2011, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
j) Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 stock based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of its stock based awards which requires various judgmental assumptions including estimating stock price, volatility and expected life.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)
The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. In addition, the Company considers many factors when estimating expected life, including types of awards and historical experience. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation model change significantly, stock based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.
k) Impairment of Intangible and Other Long-lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets. Impairment losses are recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exits, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Based on its review, the Company believes there were no impairments of its intangible and other long-lived assets as of June 30, 2011.
3. Technology License
On May 7, 2010, and amended September 28, 2010, the Company obtained an exclusive license from Machlink Inc. (“Machlink”), for rights to its proprietary technology in wireless broadband Internet, pursuant to a memorandum of understanding the parties entered into on April 13, 2010. The License is for a period of ten years, renewable in ten year increments thereafter. Under the amended agreement, IGEN is exclusively licensed to sell, distribute, sub-license and market Machlink’s System, Platform and proprietary information in all countries and global markets excluding: Mexico, Belize, Bahamas, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Ectel Countries of the SE Caribbean. Furthermore, IGEN is licensed to market Machlink technology in Canada, Australia, Europe, South America and the United States, on a non-exclusive basis.
In consideration, the Company issued two million common shares on April 13, 2010, pertaining to the memorandum of understanding, and carried this consideration forward in the signing of the May 7, 2010 license agreement and the amended agreement dated September 28, 2010. Two million common shares of the Company were issued at fair value of $0.65 per share and recorded at $1,300,000. The Company also paid $267,000 on October 1, 2010, under the terms of the amended agreement, for a new system from Machlink. This is in addition to the $200,000 consideration paid to Machlink under the terms of the original May 7, 2010 agreement, composed of $50,000 on agreement, $50,000 paid on July 23, 2010 and $100,000 paid on September 17, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, IGEN had total liabilities of $757,054, which are all current liabilities, and is an increase of $81,722 as compared to $675,332 liabilities recorded at December 31, 2010. The increase in liabilities is due primarily to an increase in the loan to a related party.
The Company's total assets at June 30, 2011, consisted of $5,780 in current assets and $1,767,000 in capital assets. The current assets are comprised of cash, which increased by $5,034 from $746 as at December 31, 2010.
The capital assets consist $1,767,000 in technology license rights which includes $467,000 in cash payments and $1,300,000 by issuance of 2,000,000 common shares at $0.65 per share. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $751,274 at June 30, 2011 compared to a working capital deficiency of $674,586 as of December 31, 2010.
Management continually reviews its overall capital and funding needs to ensure that the capital base can support the estimated needs of the business. These reviews take into account current business needs as well as the Company’s future capital requirements. Based upon these reviews, to take advantage of strong market conditions and to fully implement our expansion strategy, management believes that the Company will continue to increase our net capital through the proceeds from sales of our securities. In the past, the Company has maintained minimal cash balances which were generally funded by management and shareholder loans to satisfy monthly cash requirements in the interim of continued attempts to raise external funding.
The Company will undertake issuance of private placements of its securities and/or debenture financing to facilitate expansion in its development phase and maintain commitments under its license agreement. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional shares or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company. It is the intent of management and controlling shareholders to generate sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.

Item 4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
The management of IGEN Networks Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). The Company's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and reliability of financial reporting. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. Management also takes steps to ensure that information and communication flows are effective, and to monitor performance, including performance of internal control procedures.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of June 30, 2011, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
