Special note regarding forward-looking statements

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this MD&A constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information

under applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements or information typically contain statements with words such as “anticipate”,

“believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “estimate”, “propose”, or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook.

Forward looking statements or information in this MD&A include but are not limited to expectations regarding future revenues, earnings, capital

expenditures, and operating and other costs; business strategy and objectives; market trends; acquisition and disposition plans; the suffi ciency

of cash and working capital for future operations; the timing and the completion of various development projects; and the acquisition of

intellectual property from business combinations.

Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect. In addition to

other assumptions identifi ed in this MD&A, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the Company’s transition to new

products and releases; the number of customer transactions; the length of the sales cycles; the competitive environment; the ability to

maintain or accurately forecast revenue from the Company’s products or services; the ability of the Company to identify, hire, train, motivate

and retain qualifi ed personnel; currency fl uctuations; the ability of the Company to develop, introduce and implement new products as well

as enhancements or improvements for existing products that respond, in a timely fashion, to customer/product requirements and rapid

technological change; risks associated with operations; the impact of any changes in the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the

Company operates; the effect of new accounting pronouncements or guidance; and the ability of the Company to make all required payments

pursuant to its agreements with Computershare Inc.

Although the Company believes that the expectations refl ected in such forward-looking statements or information are reasonable, undue

reliance should not be placed on forward looking statements or information because the Company can give no assurance that such

expectations will prove to be correct. The forward-looking statements and information are based on Solium’s current expectations, estimates

market(s); actions of competitors and partners; the regulatory environment; the corporate governance environment and regulatory reporting

requirements for Solium’s clients; product capability and acceptance; the Company’s ability to generate suffi cient cash fl ow from operations

to meet its current and future obligations; and the Company’s ability to access external sources of fi nancing if required. A more detailed

assessment of the risks that could cause actual results to materially differ from current expectations is contained in the Risk Assessment

section of this MD&A. The foregoing is not exhaustive and other risks are detailed from time to time in other continuous disclosure fi lings of the

Company. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward looking statements

or information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.

Overall performance

The Company’s revenues from operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 were consistent with those in the same

periods of 2011. Revenue was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $11.4 million) and $24.6 million for the six month period

ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $24.5 million). Earnings from operations increased to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $1.1

million) and to $4.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $4.0 million).

Excluding the impact of the Computershare matter discussed below, adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012

(2011: $2.2 million) and to $6.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $6.2 million), and net earnings were $0.5 million in

the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $0.5 million) and $2.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $2.8 million).

Inclusive of all items, net earnings were $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $0.5 million) and $10.3 million in the six month period

ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $2.8 million).

The key factors affecting the results in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are:

• Computershare - On April 3, 2012, the Company received notice from Computershare of its decision to retain a stock options and

restricted stock administration business that it acquired on December 31, 2011 as part of a larger transaction. As a consequence of this

decision, effective April 3, 2012, the U.S. $17.3 million amount due to Computershare as at December 31, 2011 was extinguished and

ceased to be an obligation of Solium. The impact of this on the Company’s second quarter income statement is a gain of $15.6 million

partially offset by a charge to intangible assets and goodwill of $7.8 million.

• Strategic initiatives - The Company incurred signifi cant expenses during the fi rst six months of 2012 in establishing its new operations

in the UK, obtaining a brokerage license in Canada, and pursuing other potential business opportunities.

• SRED ITC’s - In the second quarter of 2012, the Company applied for investment tax credits under the Canadian and Alberta

governments’ scientifi c and experimental development (“SRED”) programs. The application represented a claim for 2011 SRED

expenditures. Based on the history of successful SRED claims made in previous years, the Company accrued $645,000 as a reduction

to operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $Nil), and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $Nil)

relating to SRED claims.

Results from operations

Revenue

Revenue was $11,916,176 in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $11,400,255), and $24,568,848 in the six month period ended June 30, 2012

(2011: $24,457,134). This represents an increase of $515,921 over the results from the second quarter of 2011 and $111,714 over the results

from the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Revenue from Canadian operations was $5,868,494 in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $5,511,581) and $12,557,363 in the six month

period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $12,102,378), while revenue from U.S. operations was $6,047,682 in the second quarter of 2012 (2011:

$5,888,674) and $12,011,485 in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $12,354,756).

Revenue in 2012 increased over 2011 mainly due to the addition of the CapMX business acquired from SVB Analytics, Inc., net of lower

transactions activity in the second quarter.

5Management’s discussion and analysis

Expenses

Total expenses, including income tax expense, in the second quarter of 2012 were $11,420,899 (2011: $10,853,567) and $22,104,349 in the

six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $21,651,022). Operating expenses were $10,256,472 in the second quarter of 2012 (2011:

$10,267,924) and $19,974,724 in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $20,423,665).

The Company applied for investment tax credits under the Canadian and Alberta governments’ scientifi c and experimental development

(“SRED”) programs. During the second quarter of 2012, the claim for 2011 SRED expenditures was made. Based on the history of successful

SRED claims made in previous years, the Company has accrued $645,000 as a reduction to operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012

(2011: $Nil), and $1,270,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $Nil) relating to SRED claims. The Company expects to recognize

an additional $600,000 of SRED credit in the third and fourth quarters of 2012 for 2012 SRED expenditures.

Staff and infrastructure costs associated with the transition of the Computershare business in the U.S. during the fi rst six months of 2011 did

not re-occur in the fi rst six months of 2012 as a result of the successful integration of the Computershare business during 2011.

The Company incurred signifi cant expenses during the fi rst six months of 2012 in establishing its new operations in the UK and obtaining its

Canadian brokerage license, which were not applicable in the same period of 2011.

Foreign exchange gain or loss

A foreign exchange gain of $137,087 was recorded during the second quarter of 2012 (2011: gain $82,415) and a gain of $123,267 for the

six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: gain $456,500). The foreign exchange gain during the second quarter of 2012 refl ects the

weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar during the period.

Extinguishment of amount due to Computershare and charge to intangibles and goodwill

On April 3, 2012, the Company received notice from Computershare of its decision to retain a stock options and restricted stock administration

business that it acquired on December 31, 2011 as part of a larger transaction. As a consequence of this decision, effective April 3, 2012, the

U.S. $17,638,081 amount due to Computershare as at December 31, 2011 was extinguished and ceased to be an obligation of Solium. The

impact of this on the Company’s second quarter income statement is a gain of $15,630,180 partially offset by a charge to intangible assets and

goodwill of $7,796,894.

Income taxes

$1,210,800 of income tax expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $325,102) and $1,842,655 for the six month period

ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $981,117). The Company’s U.S. operations have become taxable during 2012.

Other comprehensive income

A foreign currency translation gain of $885,177 resulting from the translation of the Due to Computershare liability and the Company’s assets

and liabilities in its U.S. subsidiaries was included in other comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2012 (2011: loss $99,717) and

$493,099 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: loss $1,040,898).

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

Cash and working capital

Cash on hand as at June 30, 2012 was $16,204,443 (December 31, 2011: $16,934,218). Working capital as at June 30, 2012 was

$14,576,615 (December 31, 2011: $9,645,362).

Notes:

1. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-IFRS fi nancial measure which does

not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other

issuers. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to users as it refl ects the net earnings prior to the effect of non-operating expenses

such as fi nance costs, income tax, amortization, foreign exchange gain or loss, gain on extinguishment of amount due to Computershare,

and intangibles and goodwill charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in measuring the fi nancial performance of the Company.

Management monitors Adjusted EBITDA against budget and past results on a regular basis. The measure is a component in determining

the annual bonus pool for staff and management.

8 Solium Capital 2012 Second Quarter Report

Management’s discussion and analysis

Factors contributing to quarterly results

Participant activity

The transaction administration fees collected from participants are affected by several factors, some of which are seasonal. These factors

include: (i) grant vesting dates; (ii) grant termination dates; (iii) the pattern of the Canadian population of making retirement contributions in the

fi rst quarter of every year; (iv) the stock trading prices for a corporate client relative to an employee participant’s associated option exercise

price; and (v) employee participant perceptions of future stock trading prices. Historically, the fi rst three factors contribute to higher transaction

based fees in the fi rst quarter of a given year. However, the actual magnitude of transaction based fees for a specifi c quarter or year is diffi cult

to predict, primarily due to the last two factors.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the consolidated fi nancial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated fi nancial statements and

reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are

based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the

circumstances. Actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a signifi cant risk of causing material adjustment to the amounts recognized in the

consolidated fi nancial statements are:

Useful lives of property and equipment

The Company estimates the useful lives of property and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available

for use. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous

estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the relevant assets. In

addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment are based on internal technical evaluation and experience with similar

assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates brought about by

changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these

factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment would increase the recorded expenses and

decrease the non-current assets.

Fair value of fi nancial instruments

The estimated fair value of fi nancial assets and liabilities, by their very nature, are subject to measurement uncertainty.

Impairment of non-fi nancial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its

fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales

transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The

value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash fl ow model. The cash fl ows are derived from fi nancial forecasts and do not include

restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or signifi cant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of

the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash fl ow model

as well as the expected future cash infl ows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

Taxes

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant

factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future

date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the fi nal outcome of these tax-related matters is different from

the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

9Management’s discussion and analysis

Share-based payment transaction

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the

date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation

model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about

the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility and dividend yield of the share option.

Future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements

In June 2012, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12). The amendments clarify the

transition guidance in IFRS 10 and provide additional transition relief for all three standards by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted

comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after

January 1, 2013. The Corporation will apply these amendments along with the adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 on January 1, 2013.

On December 16, 2011 the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued

common disclosure requirements that are intended to help investors and other users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting

arrangements on a company’s fi nancial position. The new requirements are set out in ‘Disclosures-Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 7)’. The IFRS 7 amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’ was issued in November 2009 as the fi rst step in a project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition

and Measurement’. IFRS 9 requires all recognized fi nancial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement’ to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. The most signifi cant effect of IFRS 9 regarding the classifi cation

and measurement of fi nancial liabilities relates to the accounting for changes in the fair value of a fi nancial liability (designated as at fair value

through profi t or loss) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability and the elimination of the cost exemption for derivative liabilities to

be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments. IFRS 9 is applied prospectively with transitional arrangements depending on the date of

application. The Standard is not applicable until annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, but is available for early adoption. The

Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In June 2011, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 that changes the presentation of items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive

income. This amendment requires the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to be presented in two separate groups, based

on whether or not the components may be recycled to the consolidated statement of earnings in the future. Companies will continue to have

a choice of whether to present components of OCI before or after tax. Those that present components of OCI before tax will be required to

disclose the amount of tax related to the two groups separately. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1,

2012, is applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment to IAS 1 on

its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In May 2011, the IASB published IFRS 13, a comprehensive standard on how to measure and disclose fair values. IFRS 13 applies to IFRSs

that require or permit fair value measurement, but does not address when to measure fair value or require additional use of fair value. The new

standard requires disclosures similar to those in IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’, but applies to all assets and liabilities measured at

fair value, whereas IFRS 7 applied only to fi nancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning

on or after January 1, 2013, is applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in which it is adopted, with early adoption

permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

Financial instruments

Exposure to counterparty credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk arises in the normal course of the Company’s business. The

Company currently does not enter into derivative fi nancial instruments to reduce exposure to fl uctuations in any of the risks impacting the

Company’s operations.

10 Solium Capital 2012 Second Quarter Report

Management’s discussion and analysis

The Company has credit risk as a result of its trade accounts receivable. The Company mitigates this risk by dealing with fi nancially sound

companies and, accordingly, does not anticipate any signifi cant credit losses.

The Company has foreign exchange risk because it is exposed to foreign currency fl uctuations due to its operations in the United States.

The Company currently has no interest rate risk as the Company has no long-term debt outstanding.

Disclosure controls

The Company has a Corporate Disclosure Policy in place to ensure that communications with the public about the Company are timely, factual

and accurate; disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements; and that all material information in respect of the

Company is communicated to the Chief Executive Offi cer and the Executive Vice President (EVP), Finance, and where appropriate, the Board of

Directors and/or committees thereof. The Company’s Chief Executive Offi cer and EVP, Finance have concluded that the Company’s disclosure

controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual

fi lings, interim fi lings or other reports or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time

periods specifi ed in the securities legislation and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed

in the annual fi lings, interim fi lings or other reports fi led or submitted under securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to the

Company’s management, including its certifying offi cers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that while the Chief Executive Offi cer and EVP, Finance believe that the disclosure controls and procedures will provide a

reasonable level of assurance and that they are effective, they do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors

and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives

of the control system are met.

Internal control over fi nancial reporting

The Chief Executive Offi cer and EVP, Finance of Solium are responsible for designing internal controls over fi nancial reporting or causing them to

be designed under their supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of fi nancial reporting and the preparation of

fi nancial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over fi nancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also,

projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over fi nancial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the

controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may

deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the

criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting was

effective based on the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Also, management determined that there were no

material weaknesses in Solium’s internal control over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

No changes were made in the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, that have

materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting.

11Management’s discussion and analysis

Outstanding share data

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. As at the date of

this MD&A, there were 41,773,462 common shares outstanding.

Employees, directors, offi cers and consultants have been granted options to purchase common shares under a stock option plan. As at the

date of this MD&A, there were options outstanding to purchase 3,198,069 common shares.

Employees have been granted rights to receive common shares under a share award incentive plan. As at the date of this MD&A, there were

327,410 restricted share units outstanding.

Risk assessment

Management defi nes risk as the evaluation of probability that an event might happen in the future that could negatively affect the fi nancial

condition and/or results of operations of the Company. The risks that could affect the Company have been described in the MD&A of the

Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011. The risks identifi ed therein do not constitute an exhaustive list of all

possible risks as there may be additional risks of which management is currently unaware of. As it is diffi cult to predict whether any risk will

happen or its related consequences, the actual effect of any risk on the business could be materially different from anticipated.

(Unaudited, expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. General informationSolium Capital Inc. was incorporated in October of 1999 under the laws of the Province of Alberta. Solium Capital Inc. and its

subsidiaries (together the “Company” or “Solium”) are Software as-a-Service (SaaS) companies specializing in technology and services

for the administration and execution of equity-based incentive and savings programs for corporations and their employees. Solium’s

technology platforms, Shareworks, StockVantage and Transcentive, are leading online solutions that integrate the management of

multiple equity plan types including stock options, share units, share appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and employee share

purchase plans on one comprehensive platform for a client. The address of the registered offi ce is 1500, 800 – 6th Avenue SW,

Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3G3.

2. Basis of preparationStatement of complianceThese condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements present Solium’s fi nancial results of operations and fi nancial position

using accounting policies under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as at and for the three and six month periods

ended June 30, 2012, including 2011 comparative periods. The condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements are on a basis

consistent with the Company’s annual audited consolidated fi nancial statements issued under IFRS for the year ended

December 31, 2011. These condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim

Financial Reporting’. The condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements do not include all information required for full annual

fi nancial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Company as at December 31,

2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

These condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies

disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

3. Recent accounting pronouncementsIn June 2012, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements

and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12). The amendments

clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 and provide additional transition relief for all three standards by limiting the requirement to

provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. The amendments are effective for annual periods

beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Corporation will apply these amendments along with the adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 on

January 1, 2013.

4. Business combinationsOn May 15, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all the assets related to the operations of the CapMX

business of SVB Analytics, Inc. for total cash consideration of $5.27 million (U.S. $5.25 million). CapMX provides record keeping

services for grant based incentive plans and awards to private companies and venture capital investors in the United States (the

“Business”). The Acquisition positioned the Company to better compete in the equity administration of private companies and expand

its services in the United States. The goodwill recognized on acquisition is primarily attributed to the expected future cash fl ows to be

derived from synergies which will contribute to operational effi ciencies.

The preliminary allocation of the components of total consideration to the net assets acquired is as follows:

(a) Payments made to Computershare in Canadian dollars were nil (2011: $4,311,517).

In conjunction with this transaction, the Company has recorded $0.1 million of applicable transaction costs to general and

administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Net working capital includes trade receivables with

a fair value of $681,136 and a gross contractual value of $690,577. The best estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash fl ows

not expected to be collected is $9,441.

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements incorporate the results of operations of the acquired CapMX business

from May 15, 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded revenue from the CapMX business

of $0.5 million and earnings before income taxes of $0.1 million. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, for the six

months ended June 30, 2012, the Company estimates that its pro forma sales and earnings before income taxes would have been

approximately $26.2 million and $12.6 million, respectively.

5. Due to Computershare

In connection with an acquisition in November 2010, the Company had an obligation to pay Computershare an aggregate of U.S. $22

million over fi ve years. The amount outstanding as at December 31, 2011 was U.S. $17.3 million. On April 3, 2012, the Company

received notice from Computershare of its decision to retain the stock options and restricted stock administration business that it

acquired on December 31, 2011 as part of a larger transaction. As a consequence of Computershare’s decision, pursuant to the Asset

Purchase Agreement dated November 7, 2010 between Solium and Computershare, the U.S. $17.3 million due to Computershare as

at December 31, 2011 was extinguished and ceased to be an obligation of the Company. U.S. $1.25 million of this amount was paid

to Computershare in the fi rst quarter of 2012. Computershare refunded this payment in April 2012.

18 Solium Capital 2012 Second Quarter Report

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements

The extinguishment of the U.S. $17.3 million due to Computershare resulted in a gain of U.S. $15.7 million in the second quarter of

2012, and will result in U.S. $1.5 million of fi nance costs that would have otherwise been recorded through November 2015 to no

longer be recorded.

Also in connection with the acquisition of the business, the Company has an obligation to pay additional cash consideration

(“Contingent Payments”) of up to U.S. $3 million if the revenue generated by Solium from the clients acquired from Computershare

during the 12 most recently completed calendar months preceding the third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition is greater than

or equal to U.S. $17,116,055. If the consideration is payable, three contingent cash payments will be paid to Computershare in the

amount of U.S. $1 million each (the “Contingent Payments”), on January 21, 2014, and at or prior to each of November 7, 2014 and

November 7, 2015.

The fair value of the amounts due to Computershare and Contingent Payments was calculated using a discounted cash fl ow model

using a discount factor of 6.5%. The difference between the face value of the amounts due to Computershare and Contingent

Payments a nd the fair value (the accretion amount) is recognized as fi nance costs over the term which payments are due. As at

June 30, 2012, the accretion on the outstanding obligation resulted in $90,715 (U.S. $89,833) being recorded as fi nance costs for the

three months ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $342,956 or U.S. $354,447) and $410,237 (U.S. $401,212) for the six months ended June

30, 2012 (2011: $702,740 or U.S. $719,316).

18,042,950 24,599,346 12,467,346 10,112,382

As a result of Computershare’s decision to retain the stock options and restricted stock administration business that it acquired

on December 31, 2011, the Company reviewed the carrying value of its U.S. assets and recorded a charge to intangible assets of

$7,595,392 and to goodwill of $201,502 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012.

The charge was determined using a discounted cash fl ow model. Signifi cant key assumptions included estimated cash fl ows covering

a fi ve-year period, a discount rate of 15.4% and terminal growth rate in line with historical infl ation at 2%. This charge does not affect

the Company’s operations, its liquidity, taxes, or its bank credit agreements.

If the future were to adversely differ from management’s best estimate of key assumptions and associated cash fl ows were to be

materially adversely affected, the Company could potentially experience future material impairment charges in respect of its intangible

assets and goodwill.

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was based on net earnings of $8,328,563

(2011: $546,688) and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 41,829,159 (2011: 41,612,830). The calculation

for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was based on net earnings of $10,297,785 (2011: $2,806,112) and a weighted average

number of common shares outstanding of 41,800,247 (2011: 41,617,815).

average shares outstanding calculation due to an anti-dilutive effect as a result of the exercise right being higher than the market price

of the stock in the period.

9. Financial instruments and risk managementFair value of fi nancial instruments

Cash is classifi ed as held-for-trading. Its fair value is equal to its carrying value and is classifi ed as a Level 1 valuation.

20 Solium Capital 2012 Second Quarter Report

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim fi nancial statements

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

• Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active market for identical assets or

liabilities.

• Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

• Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are

not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Risk management

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of fi nancial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (currency fl uctuations, interest

rates and commodity prices). The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of fi nancial markets

and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s fi nancial performance.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in fi nancial loss to the Company.

The Company has credit risk as a result of its accounts receivable. The Company mitigates this risk by dealing with fi nancially sound

companies and, accordingly, does not anticipate any signifi cant credit losses.

Total trade receivable (net of allowances) held by the Company at June 30, 2012 amounted to $6,792,213. Allowances are provided

against trade receivable based on estimated unrecoverable amounts. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the

Company considers the client’s fi nancial position, service history and payment history.

Trade receivable consists of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries. The Company does not have signifi cant

credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Of the trade receivable balance at June 30, 2012, one customer represented greater

than 5% of the balance.

Foreign Currency risk

The Company operates in Canada and the United States. The Company’s functional currency is Canadian dollars (CAD) and the

reporting currency is CAD. Foreign exchange risk arises because the amount receivable on revenue or payable on expenditures that

are denominated in U.S. dollars (USD) may vary when converted to Canadian dollars (CAD) due to changes in exchange rates arising

from timing differences between when the revenue or expense occurs and when actual payment is received or made (“transaction

exposures”) and because the USD denominated monetary net assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries may vary on consolidation

and revaluation into CAD (“translation exposure”).

Based on the balance of net monetary assets carried in the statement of fi nancial position of the Canadian operations as at

June 30, 2012, an increase of 1% in the exchange rate of USD to CAD would, everything else being equal, have had a positive effect

on earnings before taxes for the six months ended and retained earnings as at June 30, 2012 of approximately $82,000 (December 31,

2011: negative effect of $130,000).

On January 1, 2012, the Company designated the U.S. dollar denominated Due to Computershare as a hedge against the Company’s

net investment in its U.S. operations. This designation has the effect of mitigating volatility on net earnings by offsetting foreign

exchange gains and losses on the liability with foreign exchange gains and losses on its net investment in U.S. operations that are

presented in other comprehensive income. Based on the balance of net assets of the U.S. operations and the balance of Due to

Computershare carried in the statement of fi nancial position as at June 30, 2012, an increase of 1% in the exchange rate of USD to

CAD would, everything else being equal, have had a positive effect on other comprehensive income for the six months ended and

accumulated other comprehensive income as at June 30, 2012 of approximately $260,000 (December 31, 2011: positive effect of

$377,000).

have been converted to Canadian dollars in the above table at a rate of 1 U.S. dollar equal to 1.0181 Canadian dollars as at June

30, 2012.

(b) The contractual undiscounted payments due to Computershare relates to contingency payments payable if revenue generated

by Solium from the clients acquired from Computershare during the 12 calendar months preceding the third anniversary of the

closing of the acquisition is greater than or equal to U.S. $17,116,055.

Management believes that future cash fl ows from operations and availability under existing banking arrangements will be adequate to

support these fi nancial liabilities.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have suffi cient funds to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company’s

objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain suffi cient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any

point in time. The Company achieves this by maintaining suffi cient cash and cash equivalents balances and through the availability

of funding from committed credit facilities. As at June 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $16,204,443 on hand and a $1,600,000

credit facility available to be drawn against.

The table below summarizes the maturity profi le of the Company’s fi nancial liabilities at June 30, 2012 based on contractual

undiscounted payments.
