EXECUTIVE SUMMARY



Beginning in 2001, we expanded our business strategy to include the design and development of a line of mobile data software products based on SMS or text messaging technology. To date, we have not yet realized significant revenues from these SMS applications. Commencing in February 2004 with our acquisition of EPL, we began providing SMS aggregation services. Revenues from these SMS aggregation services have become a significant contributor to our total revenues. Management expects that revenues from our SMS aggregation services will continue to be the dominant contributor for the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2005.



In addition to the sales of our SMS aggregation services, the sales of Zim IDE Software continued at the same levels as prior periods with an increase in subsequent maintenance contracts. We expect to see decreases in our revenues for this segment of our operations in the future.



Highlights for the year include:



| | Integration of EPL operations;
|- | ------------------------------

| | Implementation of a 24-7 support team;
|- | --------------------------------------

| | Development of strategic relationships to allow us to connect with 46 international mobile operators;
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Implementation of ZIM Chat; and
|- | -------------------------------

| | Release of Zim 8
|- | ----------------





We believe that our operational performance and the development of strategic international relationships throughout fiscal 2005 have established a solid base for continued growth in fiscal 2006.

OVERVIEW



Historically we have been known as a developer and provider of the Zim Integrated Development Environment, or the Zim IDE software. Zim IDE software is currently used by companies in the design, development, and management of information databases and mission critical applications. The technology for Zim IDE software was developed at Bell Northern Research in Ottawa, Ontario in the 1980s and acquired by ZIM in 1996. The software is now licensed to thousands of customers through direct sales as well as an established network of VARs and distributors.



Beginning in 2001, we expanded our business strategy to include the design and development of a line of mobile data software products, known as SMS Office. ZIM designed these mobile data software products to take advantage of the existing wireless data network infrastructure known as SMS. SMS enables users to communicate person to person and application to person through cellular handsets and other SMS-enabled devices. SMS Office was well received by international mobile operators, resulting in contracts with several mobile operators, but did not receive market acceptance from end users. ZIM worked with the mobile operators to implement and launch SMS Office throughout the year. Subsequent to the launch of SMS Office, we have not experienced significant revenues. Management does not foresee any change in this trend, and as a result, we are no longer investing in sales or marketing initiatives relating to the
SMS Office products.



Another product, ZIM Chat, is being resold by mobile operators to their subscribers under the mobile operator's own brand. Rogers AT&T Wireless, a Canadian telecommunications company, launched ZIM Chat, allowing real time chats between computer users and Rogers AT&T Wireless customers. The product, labeled Rogers Desktop TXT, brings instant messaging to wireless phones by enabling users to communicate easily from a computer with mobile contacts in real time using two-way text messaging.



In February 2004, ZIM completed the purchase of EPL. This acquisition allowed ZIM to expand into the global SMS market for premium, bulk, location-based and interactive two-way SMS delivery and to become an SMS aggregator. Aggregators transmit a broad variety of messaging, content, and applications worldwide. ZIM is now providing an operator-grade, high-volume delivery infrastructure that is scalable, with detailed reporting available to our mobile content customers. Our goal is to continue to expand our network, allowing our customers to send their messages and campaigns internationally, with reliance that the messages are being successfully delivered.



RESTATEMENT OF STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

As a result of input from the SEC, discussions with our independent registered public accounting firm and the Audit Committee, management determined it necessary to restate the previously issued financial statements due to a change in our revenue recognition policy for premium messaging transactions.  Since February 2004, when we acquired EPL Communications and E-Promotions (together referred to as EPL), we have been recording revenues on a gross basis, as a result of our initial analysis of EITF Report No. 99-19 ("Reporting Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent"), which was also consistent with the method EPL and other UK aggregators had been using. After further evaluating EITF Report No. 99-19, management has determined that net accounting is the more appropriate treatment of its premium messaging revenue.



In a premium messaging transaction, ZIM sends mobile content from a third partys internet portal to a mobile operator.  The mobile operator then sends the mobile content to the end users mobile phone.  In our consolidated statements of operations, ZIM previously recorded the fee received from the third party mobile phone operators as revenue.  ZIM pays the mobile content provider an agreed upon amount under a revenue share agreement.  The revenue share amount was previously recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as a cost of revenue.  We have concluded that ZIM is not the primary obligor in the transaction and as a result, the revenue we record should be limited to the revenue we receive from the mobile operators, net of the amount of revenue shared with the mobile content provider.



The restatement of the revenue and cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the ten months ended March 31, 2004 resulted in the following adjustments:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES



We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On an ongoing basis, management reviews our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. While management believes that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material.



The following supplemental information on our critical accounting policies, while fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, contain significant judgments and estimates as described below.



VALUATION ALLOWANCES



We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Judgments regarding realization of deferred tax assets and the ultimate outcome of tax-related contingencies represent key items involved in the determination of tax expense and related balance sheet accounts. We have currently recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Should we determine that a reduction in the valuation allowance is appropriate, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.



LONG-LIVED ASSET IMPAIRMENT



The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever indicators exist. Examples of these indicators include current period losses combined with a history of losses, or a projection of continuing losses, or a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset group. If an indicator exists, the asset group held and used is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value to the sum of expected future cash flows directly attributable to the asset group. If the asset group is not recoverable through cash flows or if the asset group is to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset group. A high degree of judgment is required in developing estimates related to these evaluations and various factors are considered,

including projected revenues and cost and market conditions.



We have recorded an impairment of long-lived assets of $232,270 for the UK technology platform. We do not anticipate recovering any funds from this asset. See further details of this impairment in the analysis of the expenses and in Note 6 to the ZIM Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements.



GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT



Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination accounted for under the purchase method. As a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" ("FAS 142"), that was effective for the Corporation as of the beginning of fiscal year 2003, goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least annually. We perform an annual review in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired.



The annual evaluation of goodwill associated with ZTI do Brasil Ltda. performed during the fourth quarter of 2005 resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $530,000. See further details of this impairment in the analysis of the expenses and in Note 8 to the ZIM Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements.



There was no impairment in the goodwill associated with the acquisition of EPL as we expect to derive our future revenues from SMS aggregation services internationally.



IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS



During the fourth quarter of 2005, we recorded an impairment loss related to certain identifiable intangibles acquired in the February 2004 acquisition of EPL, specifically the core technology and customer list. The loss was calculated in accordance with SFAS 142 and totaled approximately $967,000.



See further details of this impairment in the analysis of the expenses and in Note 7 to the ZIM Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements.



REVENUE RECOGNITION



Revenues are mainly derived from SMS messaging services, SMS fee-based services, and proprietary software products and licenses.



Bulk messaging



Bulk messaging revenue is derived by selling our customers a set of messages.  Smaller customers may purchase approximately 5,000 credits from our internet site.  These customers pay by credit card and there is no refund of credits if they are unused.  Revenue is recognized as the credits are used.



Other customers purchase larger allotments of messages.  These customers contract with ZIM for service levels, prices and payment terms.  Under these contracts, revenue is recognized when our customer uses their credits, sends their message and revenue is considered collectible.



All costs associated with sending these messages are included in costs of revenue.



Premium messaging



SMS premium messaging services revenues are derived principally from providing mobile content providers connections to mobile operators and allowing their end users to expand on their SMS capabilities and other services. These services include news and other content subscriptions. Revenues from SMS messaging services are recognized based on fees received from the mobile operator, after all payments to the mobile content providers. Such revenues are recognized by ZIM in the period in which



8



---





the service is performed, provided that no significant Company obligations remain, the collection of the receivables is reasonably assured and the amounts can be accurately estimated.



We contract with mobile content providers and third party mobile operators for billing and transmission services related to the mobile value-added services. The mobile operator collects the fee from the end users and sends ZIM a pre-determined portion.  ZIM then pays the mobile content provider their portion of the fee.  The portion paid to the mobile content provider is referred to as a revenue share.  We record the net amount as our revenue.  The net amount is calculated as the amount received from the mobile operator less the revenue share paid to the mobile content supplier.  We considered EITF 99-19 in determining whether we should recognize such revenues at gross or net of the revenue shared with mobile content providers for billing and transmission services. We believe that based on our arrangement with third parties, as stipulated in our agreements with them, the net approach is appropriate.



To date, we rely on the billing statements from third party mobile operators to record revenues. These statements are agreed to internally generated statements. Due to the time lag of receiving billing statements from third-party mobile operators, revenues may have to be estimated based on our internal records of billings and transmissions for the month, adjusting for prior period confirmation rates with mobile operators and prior period discrepancies between internally estimated revenues and actual revenues confirmed by mobile operators. We apply confirmation rates based on the average of the recent actual historical rates. To date, there has been no significant adjustment to any estimates. To the extent that such revenues cannot be accurately estimated, we rely on the billing statements from the mobile operators to record revenues.



Other SMS services and products



Fee-based services, including LSB, virtual mobile and SMS Mail, allow our users to subscribe for services on our web sites. Revenues from these services are recognized in the period in which the service is performed, provided that no significant Company obligations remain, collection of the receivables is reasonably assured and the amounts can be accurately estimated.



SMS Chat and SMS Office are offered to end users by the mobile operators.  We recognize revenue from these products when messages are sent by the end user and the message is acknowledged as successful from the mobile operator.



Other services mainly include paging services and marketing campaigns. Revenues are recognized in the period in which the service is performed, provided that no significant Company obligations remain, collection of the receivables is reasonably assured and the amounts can be accurately estimated.



Zim IDE



Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized primarily on the delivery of software products to end users, resellers, distributors, retail merchants and original equipment manufacturers ("OEM"). We deliver our software products under software licenses. Revenues from sales of software products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, shipment is made and collectibility is reasonably assured. We recognize revenues in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9.



OUTLOOK FOR 2006



We believe that SMS will continue to grow as an accepted means of communication. We believe that the driving forces of our revenue growth in fiscal 2006 will continue to include our ability to provide our SMS aggregation services at competitive rates, the improved stability of our technology and our ability to offer international connections to our customers. To capitalize on the existing market opportunity, we will continue to focus on our ability to attract new customers, our ability to expand our international connections and the reliability of our technology.

INTERNAL CONTROLS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting and for the timeliness and reliability of the information disclosed. At the end of our fiscal period ended March 31, 2004, our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm provided our Audit Committee with a letter outlining material weaknesses encountered during the course of the audit. Their primary concern was the adequacy of review of supporting schedules that result in adjusting journal entries being entered into the accounting systems that were inaccurate or disclosures in the notes to the financial statements that were incorrect. These inaccuracies were not detected by the control procedures of management reviewing the schedules and supporting documentation, resulting in errors appearing on the financial statements and subsequent detection in the audit. Their other area of concern was the
segregation of duties among the administrative staff. This issue was partly alleviated by the hiring of a controller in March 2004. During fiscal 2005, we directed our efforts towards implementing additional review procedures, including reviews of all journal entries and detailed reviews of monthly financial information. We also implemented a Sarbanes-Oxley Committee as well as software to document, review and test the design and effectiveness of internal controls, and have begun documenting our internal controls. During the next fiscal year, our efforts will be directed at completing the documentation, and reviewing and testing the design and effectiveness of our internal controls. Our goal is to establish internal controls that are effective in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. In order to meet this target, we plan to implement, in fiscal 2006, additional automated processes in order to replace some of our
reliance on manual spreadsheets. Continuous improvement and monitoring of our business processes will likely identify other possible changes related to internal controls. All of these efforts will ensure that we are effectively utilizing our available resources and that the processes in place are efficient and scalable in order to support our future growth.



The change in our revenue recognition policy and the resulting restatements of our consolidated statements of operations reported in the Form 10-KSB/A-3 were prompted by our conclusion that the new policy is more consistent with GAAP, including EITF Report No. 99-19.  Our previous reliance on the former policy may be considered to have indicated a weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which would contribute to a conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE TEN MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004



The following discussion includes information from the audited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the audited consolidated statements of operations for the ten months ended March 31, 2004. The information for the year ended March 31, 2005 in management's opinion, has been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 and includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of information presented. These operating results are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. You should not rely on them to predict our future performance.



All financial information is prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States and is stated in US dollars.

Total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2005 were $4,342,321 as compared to $1,703,415 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in revenues is entirely attributable to our SMS offerings.



This increase in our SMS revenues is a result of our ability to enter new relationships with mobile content providers and other aggregators. EPL's offering was focused on the four main SMS services being LBS, Virtual Mobile, bulk and premium. Subsequent to the acquisition, ZIM focused on the bulk and premium offerings and attracted new customers through competitive pricing and service. Commencing in second quarter of 2005, ZIM also began offering 24-7 technical support for its customers. This support improved the quality of our service offering, creating higher customer loyalty.



REVENUE ANALYSIS BY SERVICE/PRODUCT OFFERING



BULK MESSAGING



Our bulk SMS messaging revenue increased from $57,221 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $1,000,271 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Bulk SMS messaging gives our customers the ability to send out a single message concurrently to a wide distribution list. New significant customers pre-pay for a set number of messages. We recognize revenue on these messages once the messages are sent to the end user.



Smaller customers may purchase bulk messaging credits from our on-line portals, referred to as "Text-Out" or "Text-Force".



Management expects to see our bulk SMS revenues grow in fiscal 2006.

PREMIUM MESSAGING



Our premium SMS messaging revenue increased from $80,338 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $1,648,494 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Premium SMS messaging works through the use of short codes (short, easy to remember phone numbers) and a corresponding tariff, typically between 25(cent) and $5, that is assigned to each number. End users are charged on their monthly bill or from their pre-paid balance, once they receive the message. The tariff is then shared between the mobile operator, ZIM and the mobile content provider. Revenue is realized once no obligations remain, collection of the receivables is reasonably assured and the amounts can be accurately estimated.



Management expects to see continued growth in this area as premium SMS messaging is now being used for more content and for higher tariffs. The industry is growing quickly as end users are now downloading games, music, ring tones, horoscopes, alerts and others.



OTHER SMS SERVICES



Our other SMS services revenue increased from $205,330 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $266,420 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Included in other SMS services are 2-way SMS services to replace pagers, miscellaneous marketing campaigns, LBS and Virtual Mobile revenues.



Management expects the focus of ZIM to continue with bulk and premium messaging. We have not yet seen market acceptance for these other SMS services. Although we will continue to service our existing customer base, we do not expect growth in these areas.



SMS PRODUCTS



Revenues from our key products increased from $3,702 in the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $162,949 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Our key products, ZIM SMS Office and ZIM Chat, are resold by mobile operators to their subscribers under the mobile operator's own brand. Currently our applications are being offered to subscribers of Rogers in Canada, StarHub in Singapore and Digi in Malaysia. We do not expect significant revenues from SMS Office as consumer behavior indicates a lack of interest in the product. ZIM Chat continues to receive significant attention from end users, and management would like to further develop strategic relationships with mobile operators to expand the use of ZIM Chat.



SOFTWARE, MAINTENANCE AND CONSULTING



We generate revenues from the sale of our database product as well as the subsequent maintenance and consulting fees. Management expected a decrease in software sales for the first six months of the fiscal year as we expected our customer base to be waiting for the release of a new version of the software. During the year, we released Zim 8. Although there were subsequent sales, we did not see a significant increase for the balance of the year. As a result, revenues from software sales decreased from $536,123 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $338,143 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The market for database software has expanded substantially over the years and customers have migrated to other competitors that have larger market share. Management expects to see further deterioration of its customer base and as a result, further decreases in the sales of Zim IDE software.



In addition to the sale of the software, we are generating revenue from software maintenance and consulting. The maintenance revenues for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 of $820,651 increased slightly to $926,044 for the year ended March 31, 2005. Management expects this level of revenue to continue in the short term while our customers continue to use the Zim IDE product. However, as customers migrate to other software products, our maintenance revenue will also start to decrease.



We will continue to put the appropriate resources to the maintenance and development of our database products while we continue to generate revenues from this product line. Although we do not see growth in this segment, we are still committed to serving our existing customers.

Expenses have increased substantially from $3,194,135 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $8,306,428 for the year ended March 31, 2005. This increase in expenses is due to the impairment charges recorded on long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, the increase in costs of revenue due to the increased revenues and the costs associated with operating a business in the UK.



COST OF REVENUE



Included in the cost of revenue are costs related to the sale of Zim IDE and costs relating to SMS revenues.

Gross margins for SMS applications decreased from 32% for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to 23% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Since premium and bulk messaging were the majority of SMS revenues for both periods, the decrease in margin can be assigned to these services.



Included in the cost of SMS applications are fees paid to the mobile operators and other aggregators. .During the 2005 fiscal year, the industry underwent a consolidation. In particular, several of the larger aggregators merged. The result of these mergers is that the resulting entities were able to offer extremely competitive pricing due

to their volume discounts.   In addition, in order to improve our service offering, we commenced offering 24-7 support in the second quarter of 2005. There was no corresponding expense in the 2004 fiscal periods.



Also, the margins in fiscal 2004 only reflect messaging services in the UK, whereas the fiscal 2005 results include other European countries and Canada. Each country has a unique price point, resulting in a different margin. We are unable to predict the margins for fiscal 2006, as the margins are dependant on external and internal pressures, including our competitors' pricing, our volumes and resulting volume discounts and the countries we are operating in.



Gross margins for software, maintenance and consulting sales decreased from 87% for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to 80% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Included in the cost of revenue for software, maintenance and consulting are salaries relating to supporting the Zim IDE software and costs for the distribution of the software. The decrease in the margin on software sales is a result of the decrease in revenue, without a corresponding decrease in direct expenses such as salaries.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE



Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended March 31, 2005 were $2,577,898 and $2,970,315 respectively. The difference of $392,417 is partially attributable to the difference in accounting periods. The monthly average expenditure in fiscal 2005 was $247,526 as compared to $257,790 for the fiscal 2004 period.



Although we incurred additional expenses related to operating the UK office, management was committed to cost management during the year. As a result, there were minimal expenses relating to travel and several support positions were eliminated. In addition, during the 2005 fiscal year, ZIM relocated its Brazilian and UK offices to smaller locations without rental commitments.



Management expects to see increased expenditures in fiscal 2006 as the Company prepares for compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT



Research and development expenses remained relatively flat when comparing the ten months ended March 31, 2004 and the year ended March 31, 2005. Research and development expenses were $536,156 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $708,147 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. During fiscal 2005, several of the development team positions that were working on the SMS Office project were eliminated. These positions were replaced with engineers with expertise in SMS messaging and connections.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS



With the acquisition of EPL, we acquired new intangible assets. The amortization of the customer lists increased from $61,891 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 to $359,197 for the year ended March 31, 2005. This increase is due to the acquisition of the customer list in the EPL acquisition. Core technology purchased in the acquisition is allocated to the cost of revenue for the months subsequent to February 10, 2004.



We originally estimated the life of the core technology as five years and the customer relationships as eighteen months. As discussed below, we recorded an impairment on these assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.



IMPAIRMENT CHARGES



We have recorded non-cash impairment charges relating to both intangible and long-lived assets in the UK reporting unit and goodwill in the Brazil reporting unit.



UK IMPAIRMENTS:



After the acquisition of EPL, we relied solely on the technology purchased to provide our aggregator services to the UK. Initially the technology was able to perform at reasonable levels. As we continued to add new customers and increased the load of messages, we experienced technical difficulties with this purchased platform. After several attempts to stabilize the platform and with the hiring of a new Chief Technology Advisor in January 2005, the decision was made to rebuild the platform in Canada using new technologies, thereby abandoning the UK platform by the first quarter of 2006. We therefore performed an impairment test on this asset during the fourth quarter using the discounted future cash flows method, and as a result of this test, we have determined that the technology platform is fully impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $232,000. This impairment is reported under
the SMS segment.



The core technology intangible asset associated with the above physical platform purchased was also determined to be fully impaired during the fourth quarter. The carrying amount of this intangible asset was compared to its fair value using the discounted future cash flow method. The facts and circumstances leading to this impairment are the same as noted in the paragraph above. The amount of the impairment loss amounted to approximately $830,000. This impairment is also reported under the SMS segment.



On February 10, 2004, at the time of the EPL acquisition, a customer list intangible asset was recorded. The amount originally assigned to the acquired customer list was based on the costs that we would have otherwise incurred to establish these relationships. At that time, we believed that the value of these customer relationships is that it would enable us to sell our SMS Office products to the mobile operators in the UK. However, as noted earlier, even though SMS Office was well received by these international mobile operators, this product did not receive market acceptance from end users and we therefore ceased all sales efforts for this product. In addition, due to the instability of the UK platform as mentioned above, we were unable to reliably service some of the customers acquired in the acquisition, resulting in reduced revenues by the fourth quarter of the year. Although some of the customers still
exist, we do not expect to see significant future value from these relationships. Based on these events, we performed an impairment test on this asset during the fourth quarter using the future discounted cash flow method. This test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $134,000 in the SMS segment rendering the asset fully impaired.



The annual evaluation of the goodwill associated with our UK reporting unit is performed during the fourth quarter. No impairment charges resulted from this evaluation since the fair value, as determined by discounted cash flows, exceeded the book value of this reporting unit. In performing this impairment test, management considered ZIM's projected cash flows from the aggregator business rather than just the UK operations, as the EPL acquisition enabled ZIM to move into this market. Despite the impairments noted above, management anticipates the discounted future cash flows from the aggregator business to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill reported on the balance of $2,068,881.

BRAZIL IMPAIRMENTS:



The annual evaluation of goodwill associated with our Brazil reporting unit is performed during the fourth quarter. The impairment test indicated that the recorded book value of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as determined by discounted cash flows; this resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $530,000. During the year, the Brazil operations experienced a substantial decline in operating performance when compared to prior year performance and budgeted 2005 result. Management expected to see a return to historical levels subsequent to the release of ZIM 8 in the fall of 2004, however results for the third and fourth quarter failed to meet expectations. Further, as we are no longer focused on the database market and as the database market has become increasingly competitive, management made the decision to limit sales initiatives in Brazil or in the database market and focus on the
SMS segment. Management will continue to support their existing ZIM IDE software customers but we are not forecasting significant new revenues or new customers in this segment. Management also decided during the year to close the office in Brazil and terminate three of the six employees. As a result of the lack of sales, the increased competition and management's decision to downsize the Brazilian office, we have determined that the goodwill associated with the Brazil reporting unit is fully impaired.



LOSS ON DISPOSABLE OF FIXED ASSETS



As a result of our decision to terminate employees and to close the Brazil and UK offices, we have incurred a loss on the disposable of fixed assets of $33,561.



INTEREST EXPENSE



For the ten and twelve months ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred interest on the debt held by our Chief Executive Officer and a related party at 5% per annum. This debt was converted into shares in January 2004, and as a result, there are no significant interest expenses for the year ended March 31, 2005. Our operations in Brazil received interest income on their surplus funds for the period.

Included in income taxes are taxes paid on revenues earned in Brazil as well as investment tax credits ("ITC") on research and development expenditures in Canada. During the 2005 fiscal year we changed the nature of certain research projects, which disallow them for ITCs. As a result, the income taxes recovered are substantially lower for the year ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the ten and twelve months ended March 31, 2004.



As a result of the factors described above, the net loss for the year ended March 31, 2005 was $3,964,107 as compared to $1,672,597 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



At March 31, 2005, ZIM had cash of $737,888 and working capital of $ 1,120,710, as compared to cash of $870,520 and working capital of $ 568,219 at March 31, 2004. This improved financial position is a result of the increase in revenues generated from our SMS services, as well as a private placement of common shares in June, July and October 2004.



Cash flows for the fiscal periods were as follows:





|                                            |  |             | Year ended March 31, 2005 |             | Ten months ended March 31, 2004

|Cash flows used in investing activities     |  | (42,917)    |                           | (402,648)

ZIM used $1,762,459 in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $1,687,579 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004.



ZIM used $402,648 of cash in its investing activities during the ten months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $42,917 for the year ended March 31, 2005. Of this amount in 2004, $320,028 related to the purchase of EPL and $82,620 was used in the purchase of fixed assets. In the 2005 fiscal year, we decreased our fixed asset purchases to $42,917. This is a result of reduced staff and office space.



ZIM increased its cash by $1,621,326 from private placements and the exercise of options in fiscal 2005. For the ten-month period ended March 31, 2004, we increased our cash by $2,423,332, also from private placements and stock option exercises.



Accounts receivable increased from $1,022,626 as at March 31, 2004 to $2,174,148 as at March 31, 2005. This change is a result of the increase in SMS messaging traffic in fiscal 2005. Also, in March 2004, we relied on direct connections with mobile operators to send the majority of our messages. By March 2005, we had expanded our international connections through indirect connections to mobile operators through other aggregators. In general, mobile operators in the UK pay within 35 days of the month end, and Canadian operators pay up to 90 days after month end, on a quarterly basis. For other international connections, we rely on other aggregators that pay up to 60 days after month end. Each of the mobile operators and aggregators has signed contracts with us outlining the terms of their payments.



Credit terms for software, maintenance and consulting services have remained consistent from prior periods at 30 days.



As at March 31, 2005, approximately 63% of all related receivables are current, 33% are between 1 and 30 days past due, with the balance spread over 31 to 90 days overdue. We review all accounts regularly for collection and believe that the allowance is sufficient.



Other sources of cash during the 2005 fiscal period were the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options by employees. We issued 305,000 common shares upon exercise of options, for gross and net proceeds of $81,050, for the year ended March 31, 2005. Also, on June 25, 2004, ZIM completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,010,555 units at $0.38 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $384,011 and net proceeds of $381,535. Each unit consisted of one common share and two common share purchase warrant. Each warrant may be exercised at any time prior to September 30, 2005 at an exercise price of $0.38. Subsequent non-brokered private placements were completed on July 30, 2004 and October 7, 2004 for 2,004,211 and 1,018,077 units respectively. The July 30, 2004 units were priced at $0.38 and consisted of one common share and two common share purchase warrants, exercisable for 15 months. The
October 7, 2004 units were priced at $0.39 and also consisted of one common share and two common share purchase warrants, exercisable for 15 months. There were no expenses associated with the private placements on July 30, 2004 or October 7, 2004.

In the 2004 fiscal period, we issued 728,300 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options by employees. On January 30, 2004, ZIM completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,150,006 units at $0.75 per unit, for total gross proceeds of $862,505 and net proceeds of $819,587. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant had an original expiry July 30, 2004 at an exercise price of $0.75. The warrant's original expiry was extended to July 31, 2005 by the Board of Directors due to the time involved with the registration of the underlying shares. In April 2005, we requested the SEC to withdraw the registration statement relating to these shares.



ZIM will need an estimated $1,800,000 in financing in order to fund its operating losses and other working capital requirements for the next 12 months. Subsequent to the year end, ZIM obtained a working capital line of credit for $250,000. We do not have any other bank credit facility under which ZIM may borrow funds for the estimated additional financing of $1,550,000. ZIM has not received any commitments from any third parties to provide additional financing.



Future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of business in existing operations and ZIM's ability to raise additional financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ZIM will be able to meet its working capital needs for any future period. As a result of some of the items noted above, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Report for the year ended March 31, 2005 indicated that there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.



If ZIM is unable to obtain the necessary funds, we may have to curtail or suspend certain of our business operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business relationships, financial results, financial condition and prospects.



The following is a summary of ZIM's contractual obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of March 31, 2005.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



(I) SFAS NO. 123R



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R"). This revised standard addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the new standard, companies will no longer be able to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB 25. Instead, companies will be required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in the consolidated statement of income. SFAS 123R will be effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and allows, but does not require, companies to restate the full fiscal year of 2005 to reflect the impact of

expensing share-based payments under SFAS 123R. The impact on ZIM'S financial statements of applying one of the acceptable fair-value based methods of accounting for stock options is disclosed in Note 3.



(II) SFAS 153



The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 ("SFAS 153"), "Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets" as an amendment to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29 ("APB 29"), "Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions." APB 29 prescribes that exchanges of non-monetary transactions should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged, while providing an exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception provided in APB 29 and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for all non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect there to be any material effect on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the new standard.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.



REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ZIM Corporation



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ZIM Corporation as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the ten months ended March 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ZIM Corporation as of March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the ten months ended March 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,964,107 and used $1,762,459 of cash from operations, during the year ended March 31, 2005. The Company also has generated negative cash flows from operations during each of the last five years. These factors, among others, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has restated its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2005 and the ten months ended March 31, 2004.

ZIM CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)



1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY



COMPANY OVERVIEW



ZIM Corporation ("ZIM" or the "Company") is a leading provider of mobile messaging and data services. In addition, the Company has designed and developed consumer and enterprise applications for the global SMS (Short Message Service) channel. Prior to entering the SMS or mobile messaging industry, ZIM was recognized as the developer and provider of the Zim Integrated Development Environment software, which continues to be used by companies in the design, development, and management of information databases.



BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT



ZIM was formed under the laws of Canada on October 17, 2002 in order to purchase ZIM Technologies International Inc. ("ZIM Technologies"), which was formed in 1997 to acquire the software technology now called the Zim Integrated Development Environment (the "Zim IDE software"). On February 10, 2004, ZIM purchased UK-based SMS service firms EPL Communications Limited and E-Promotions Limited (together referred to as "EPL"). ZIM is also the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies do Brazil Ltda., a company incorporated in Brazil that distributes the Zim IDE Software, and PCI Merge, Inc., a Florida based holding company with no operations. Until March 31, 2004, ZIM was the sole shareholder of ZIM Technologies, a Canadian federal corporation and the chief operating company of the ZIM group of companies. On April 1, 2004, ZIM Corporation and ZIM Technologies amalgamated into ZIM Corporation.



BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY



Historically, we have been known as a developer and provider of the Zim IDE software. Zim IDE software is currently used by companies in the design, development, and management of information databases and mission critical applications. The technology for the Zim IDE software was developed at Bell Northern Research in Ottawa, Ontario in the 1980s and acquired by ZIM in 1996. The software is now licensed to thousands of customers through direct sales as well as through an established network of value added resellers ("VARs") and distributors.



Beginning in 2001, we expanded our business strategy to include the design and development of a line of mobile data software products. We designed these mobile data software products to take advantage of the existing wireless data network infrastructure known as SMS. SMS, mobile messaging, or text messaging as it is also known, enables users to communicate person to person and application to person through cellular handsets and other SMS-enabled devices. The use of SMS is already considered an accepted form of communication throughout Europe and Asia and the market is now expanding in North America.



We began marketing our main SMS product, referred to as "SMS Office" in the summer of 2003. Although we were successful in establishing several relationships with mobile operators, the product did not receive significant market acceptance from end users. We continue to support these products but our main focus has shifted to our SMS aggregation service offering and to our chat applications.



Since the acquisition of EPL, we have focused on providing aggregation services to mobile content providers. Aggregators transmit a broad variety of messaging, content, and applications worldwide. ZIM is now providing an operator-grade, high-volume delivery infrastructure that is scalable, with detailed reporting available to our mobile content customers. Our goal is to continue to expand our network, allowing our customers to send their messages and campaigns internationally, with reliance that the messages are being successfully delivered.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)





LIQUIDITY



The Company has incurred a net loss of $3,964,107 during the year ended March 31, 2005. In addition, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of $1,762,459 for the year ended March 31, 2005 and has generated negative cash flows from operations during the last five years.



All of the factors above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to address these issues by continuing to raise capital through the placement of equity, obtaining advances from related parties and, if necessary, renegotiating the repayment terms of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is subject to management's ability to successfully implement the above plans. Failure to implement these plans could have a material adverse effect on the Company's position and/or results of operations and may necessitate a reduction in operating activities. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that may be required if the assets are not realized and the liabilities settled in the normal course of operations.



In the longer term, the Company has to generate the level of sales which would result in cash self sufficiency and it may need to continue to raise capital by selling additional equity or by obtaining credit facilities. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to attract new customers, the market acceptance of its services or software, the level of its promotional activities and advertising required to support its activities. 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.



2 - RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, it was determined that our revenue recognition policy for premium messaging transactions should be modified to record revenues on a net basis which, the Company believes, will more accurately portray its operations.  In a premium messaging transaction, ZIM sends mobile content from a third partys internet portal to a mobile operator.  The mobile operator then sends the mobile content to the end users mobile phone.  In our consolidated statements of operations, ZIM previously recorded the fee received from the third party mobile phone operators as revenue.  ZIM pays the mobile content provider an agreed upon amount under a revenue share agreement.  The revenue share amount was previously recorded in our consolidated statement of operations as a cost of revenue. The Company has determined that a
more appropriate treatment, which is also more consistent with EITF Report No. 99-19 (Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent), is to record as revenue the fee received from the mobile operators net of the amount of revenue shared with the mobile content provider.  The Companys management and Audit Committee have discussed these changes with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm.

3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ZIM CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)



FISCAL YEAR



The Company changed its financial year end from May 31 to March 31 in 2004.



COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)



Comprehensive income (loss) includes net loss and other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"). OCI refers to changes in net assets from transactions and other events and circumstances other than transactions with shareholders. These changes are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders' equity and excluded from net income. The only comprehensive income item for the Company relates to foreign currency translation adjustments relating to the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency.



ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS



Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the age of the receivable, the financial stability of the customer, discussions that may have occurred with the customer and management's judgment as to the overall collectibility of the receivable from that customer. In addition, the Company may establish an allowance for all the receivables for which no specific allowances are deemed necessary. This general allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a percentage of the total accounts receivable with different percentages used based on the different ages of the receivables. The percentages used are based on the Company's historical experience and management's current judgment regarding the state of the economy. The Company writes off accounts receivable when
they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts in the period of recovery.



REVENUE RECOGNITION



The Company derives revenue from two sources: Short Message Service (SMS) services and applications and enterprise software, including maintenance and consulting services. SMS involves providing SMS applications and services. Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing, developing and manipulating database systems and applications.



SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE REVENUE RECOGNITION



Revenues from SMS services and applications are derived principally from providing aggregation services whereby ZIM sends messages from its customers through mobile operators to end users on their cell phones. In this situation, the Company contracts with its customers that can not connect directly to the mobile operators and with the third party mobile operators or other aggregators directly for the transmission of the messages. Fees are charged on a monthly or per message basis. Revenues and cost of revenues are recognized in the month in which the service is performed, provided no significant ZIM obligations remain. We rely on a number of mobile network operators and other aggregators globally to deliver our services. Generally, (i) within 15 to 30 days after the end of each month, ZIM receives a statement from each of the operators or aggregators confirming the amount of charges billed to that operator's
mobile phone users and (ii) within 30 to 90 days after delivering a monthly statement, each operator or aggregator remits the fees for the month to ZIM. ZIM arranges to pay the mobile content provider a set amount per message under a revenue share arrangement.  ZIM nets this revenue share fee against the revenue it receives from the mobile operators. Revenues are recorded on a net basis  as the mobile content provider is the primary obligor in the transaction as they manage and market the content, which
we then distribute.  Our role within the transaction is limited to providing transportation and a billing mechanism for the mobile content provider.

ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION



ZIM records revenues from the perpetual license of the Company's software products and the sale of related maintenance and consulting. The Company's standard license agreement provides a license to use the Company's products based on the number of licensed users. The Company may license its software in multiple element arrangements if the customer purchases any combination of maintenance, consulting or training services in conjunction with the license.



The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to the requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP 97-2") "Software Revenue Recognition", as amended by SOP 98-9 "Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions." Revenue is recognized using the residual method when Company-specific objective evidence of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more delivered elements. The Company allocates revenue to each undelivered element based on its respective fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold separately. The Company defers revenue for the undelivered elements and recognizes the residual amount of the arrangement fee, if any, when the basic criteria in SOP 97-2 have been met.



Under SOP 97-2, revenue is recognized when the following four criteria have been met:



|o | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
|- | ---------------------------------------------
|o | delivery has occurred;                       
|o | the fee is fixed and determinable; and       
|o | collectibility is probable.                  
|  |                                              



The Company records revenue as earned as evidenced by contracts or invoices for its services at prices established by contract, price list and/or fee schedule less applicable discounts. If at the outset of an arrangement the Company determines that the arrangement fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is deferred until the arrangement fee becomes due. If at the outset of an arrangement the Company determines that the collectibility is not probable, revenue is deferred until payment is received.



Collectibility is assessed based on the collection history of the client, current economic trends, customer concentrations and customer credit worthiness. Delivery of the software has occurred once the customer has accepted the product or has been provided with permanent keys to the file transfer protocol ("FTP") site. If an arrangement allows for customer acceptance of the software or services, the Company defers revenue recognition until the earlier of customer acceptance or when the acceptance right lapses.

MAINTENANCE AND CONSULTING REVENUE RECOGNITION



Maintenance revenues are recognized equally over the term of the maintenance contract.



Consulting revenue, which represents services provided on a per diem basis to customers, is recognized as the services are performed as there are no customer acceptance provisions involved in these types of arrangements.



In general, credit terms of 30 days are extended to customers.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES



Costs related to research, design and development of products and applications are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established, which generally occurs upon completion of a working model, and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. All subsequent costs are expensed as incurred. To date, completing a working model of the Company's products and the general release of the products has substantially coincided. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs since such costs have not been significant.



ADVERTISING



Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $42,311 for the year ended March 31, 2005 ($24,556 for the ten month period ended March 31, 2004).



INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS



Investment tax credits are accounted for using the cost reduction approach whereby they are recorded as a reduction of the related capital cost of the asset acquired when there is reasonable assurance that they will be realized.



GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE



Government assistance is recorded as a reduction of the related expense or the cost of the assets acquired. Government assistance is recorded in the accounts when reasonable assurance exists that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions of the approved grant program.



TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES



The Company's reporting currency is the US dollar and the functional currency is the Canadian dollar.



Assets and liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries, recorded in functional currencies other than Canadian dollars, are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses and cash flow amounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.

The accounts of the Company's subsidiaries that are recorded in the Company's functional currency, the Canadian dollar, translate their foreign currency transactions as follows: gains or losses from foreign currency transactions such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables denominated in foreign currency, are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period and are included in the statement of operations of the current period. For the year ended March 31, 2005 and the ten months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recognized a foreign exchange gain of $31,768 and $8,765 respectively in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.



The translation of the Company's financial statements from the functional currency to its reporting currency is performed as follows: All assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses and cash flow amounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in comprehensive income/ (loss) in shareholders' equity.



INCOME TAXES



Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred 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 and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. When necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.



EARNINGS PER SHARE



Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to such shares at the later of the beginning of the period or the issuance date. The "if-converted" method is used to determine the dilutive effect of common shares. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of warrants. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money share purchase warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.



STOCK OPTION PLAN



Stock option grants are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price or in connection with the modification to outstanding awards and/or changes in grantee status.



No compensation expense is recognized for this plan when stock options are issued to directors and employees of the Company. Any consideration paid by the eligible participants on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital. If stock options are repurchased from eligible participants, the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock option cancelled is charged to shareholders' equity. Since the Company does not account for options granted to participants using the fair value method, it discloses pro forma information related to net income and earnings per share figures, which are calculated as if the entity applied the fair value method of accounting to stock options granted to participants.

Compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees is accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) which requires entities to recognize an expense based on the fair value of the related awards. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT



Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets using the following methods and rates:



|Computer equipment             | 40%     | Declining balance
|------------------------------ | ------- | -----------------
|Software                       | 40%     | Declining balance
|Technology platform            | 33%     | Declining balance
|Office furniture and equipment | 40%     | Declining balance
|Voice communications equipment | 1 year  | Straight line    
|Leasehold improvements         | 5 years | Straight line    
|                               |         |                  





Effective June 1, 2003, the Company changed its method of depreciating some property and equipment from the straight-line method to the declining balance method. The Company's management believes this method is preferable because it provides a better matching of costs with related revenues. The adoption of the declining balance method did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the prior periods therefore they have not been restated to apply the new method retroactively.



LEASES



Leases are classified as either capital or operating in nature. Capital leases are those which substantially transfer the benefits and risks of ownership to the Company. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized at the same rates as those described for property and equipment. 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. Operating leases are expensed as incurred.



LONG-LIVED ASSETS



Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when evidence of a decline in value exists and are adjusted to estimated fair value if the asset is impaired. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("FAS 144") requires that, whenever events and circumstances indicate that the Company may not be able to recover the net book value of its productive assets, the undiscounted estimated future cash flows from the expected use of those assets must be compared to their net book value to determine if impairment is indicated. FAS 144 requires that assets deemed impaired be written down to their estimated fair value through a charge to earnings. FAS 144 states that fair values may be estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market prices, together with other available information. Under the
provisions of FAS 144 the Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment to determine if there were events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through future cash flows.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS



Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives will continue to be amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.



Customer lists relating to ZTI do Brasil Ltda. are amortized over their estimated rate of customer attrition which has been assumed to be 40% in the first year, 50% of the then residual in the second and third years, and the remaining balance in the fourth year.



Customer relationships relating to E-Promotions Limited and EPL Communications (together referred to as "EPL") were being amortized on a straight-line basis over 18 months and the core technology relating to EPL was being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.



In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill and other intangible assets to be subject to an assessment of impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process prescribed in SFAS No. 142, whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any.



GOODWILL



Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination accounted for under the purchase method. As a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" ("FAS 142"), that was effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2003, goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but evaluated for impairment annually.



We perform an annual review in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. Our impairment process compares the fair value of ZTI do Brasil Ltda. and EPL to their respective carrying values, including the goodwill related to these reporting units.



OTHER



No remuneration has been recorded in these financial statements for the services of the Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder.



4 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS



ACQUISITION OF EPL



Effective February 10, 2004, ZIM acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EPL. EPL is a provider of wireless messaging solutions and is part of ZIM's international growth strategy. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed using estimates of their fair value. The results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The total purchase price of $3,606,247 included cash of $250,000, acquisition costs of $76,247 and $3,280,000 in common shares. 4,000,000 common shares were issued. These shares were valued at $0.82 based on the market price on February 10, 2004.

The Company reviewed its fixed assets for impairment to determine if there were events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through future cash flows. In February 2005, it was determined that the technology platform in the UK would no longer be required as it was being replaced with new technology and development in Canada. As a result, the technology platform purchased in the EPL acquisition in February 2004 no longer has any recoverable value.

After the acquisition of EPL, we relied solely on the technology purchased to provide our aggregator services to the UK. Initially the technology was able to perform at reasonable levels. As we continued to add new customers and increased the load of messages, we experienced technical difficulties with this purchased platform. After several attempts to stabilize the platform and with the hiring of a new Chief Technology Advisor in January 2005, the decision was made to rebuild the platform in Canada using new technologies, thereby abandoning the UK platform by the first quarter of 2006. We therefore performed an impairment test on this asset during the fourth quarter using the discounted future cash flows method, and as a result of this test, we have determined that the technology platform is fully impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $232,000. This impairment is reported under
the SMS segment.



The core technology intangible asset associated with the above physical platform purchased was also determined to be fully impaired during the fourth quarter. The carrying amount of this intangible asset was compared to its fair value using the discounted future cash flow method. The facts and circumstances leading to this impairment are the same as noted in the paragraph above. The amount of the impairment loss amounted to approximately $830,000. This impairment is also reported under the SMS segment.

On February 10, 2004, at the time of the EPL acquisition, a customer list intangible asset was recorded. The amount originally assigned to the acquired customer list was based on the costs that we would have otherwise incurred to establish these relationships. At that time, we believed that the value of these customer relationships is that it would enable us to sell our SMS Office products to the mobile operators in the UK. However, as noted earlier, even though SMS Office was well received by these international mobile operators, this product did not receive market acceptance from end users and we therefore ceased all sales efforts for this product. In addition, due to the instability of the UK platform as mentioned above, we were unable to reliably service some of the customers acquired in the acquisition, resulting in reduced revenues by the fourth quarter of the year. Although some of the customers still
exist, we do not expect to see significant future value from these relationships. Based on these events, we performed an impairment test on this asset during the fourth quarter using the future discounted cash flow method. This test resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $134,000 in the SMS segment rendering the asset fully impaired.



As a result, and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2005 of approximately $967,000 related to the core technology and customer relationships.



The remaining customer list will be fully amortized in fiscal 2006.

8 - GOODWILL



The annual evaluation of goodwill associated with our Brazil reporting unit is performed during the fourth quarter. The impairment test indicated that the recorded book value of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value, as determined by discounted cash flows; this resulted in a $530,270 non-cash impairment charge. During the year, the Brazil operations experienced a substantial decline in operating performance when compared to prior year performance and budgeted 2005 result. Management expected to see a return to historical levels subsequent to the release of ZIM 8 in the fall of 2004, however results for the third and fourth quarter failed to meet expectations. Further, as we are no longer focused on the database market and as the database market has become increasingly competitive, management made the decision to limit sales initiatives in Brazil or in the database market and focus on the SMS segment.
Management will continue to support their existing ZIM IDE software customers but we are not forecasting significant new revenues or new customers in this segment. Management also decided during the year to close the office in Brazil and terminate three of the six employees. As a result of the lack of sales, the increased competition and management's decision to downsize the Brazilian office, we have determined that the goodwill associated with the Brazil reporting unit is fully impaired.

ADDITIONAL PAID IN CAPITAL



During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued options to non-employees, in consideration for advisory services, and as a result, additional paid in capital has been increased by $334,422. In the ten months ended March 31, 2004, no options were issued to non-employees in consideration for advisory services.



The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:



|Dividend yield          | Nil        | 
|----------------------- | ---------- | 
|Expected volatility     | 80%        |

Under the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant options to its officers, directors and employees for up to 22,200,000 common shares. As at March 31, 2005, 16,551,871 (March 31, 2004, 12,550,071) options were outstanding under the Employee Stock Option Plan. In addition, 6,110,000 (March 31, 2004, 8,285,000) options were issued in prior periods outside of the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common shares' fair market value at the date of grant. Options are granted periodically and both the maximum term of an option and the vesting period are set at the Board's discretion.



Early in 2004, the Board of Directors reviewed directors' compensation. It was noted that, historically, the members of the Board were issued options but that, because of the Company's on-going need to comply with securities regulations and the time it took to establish a market for the underlying shares, there have been limited opportunities for members of the Board to exercise their options within the lifetime of the options. As a result, on February 5, 2004, the Board extended the life of 6,110,000 options to February 2007 without changing the exercise price. No compensation expense was recognized as the exercise price approximated the market price.



A summary of the status of the stock options is as follows:

The change in valuation allowance for originating temporary differences and losses available for carry forward, is calculated using an effective tax rate of 18.62%, based on the application of the Small Business Deduction. The rate at which such amounts may be realized as disclosed as part of a deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance takes into account the enacted tax rate decreases over the expected period of realization.



Income tax recovery of $121,421 for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $306,768 for the ten months ended March 31, 2004 relates to refundable income tax credits receivable, partially offset by income taxes paid by the Company's Brazilian subsidiary.



Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability are as follows:

15 - LOSS PER SHARE



For the purposes of the loss per share computation, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been used. Had the treasury stock method been applied to the unexercised share options and warrants, the effect on the loss per share would be anti-dilutive.



The following securities are considered "in the money" and could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future but have not been included in diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:



|              |           | March 31, 2005 | March 31, 2004
|------------- | --------- | -------------- | --------------
|              |           |                |               
|Stock options | 2,460,000 | 2,316,702     
|Warrants      | -         | -             



Total options outstanding at March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 22,661,871 and 20,835,071 respectively. Total warrants outstanding at March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 9,215,692 and 1,150,006, respectively.

During the year ended May 31, 2002, the Company received $101,653 from the Canadian International Development Agency for the purpose of undertaking a viability study of acquiring Zim Technologies do Brasil Ltda. The amount has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amount is repayable, based on 1% of Zim Technologies do Brasil Ltda.'s revenues from July 23, 2001 to May 31, 2005 to a maximum of $94,841, on revenues realized by Zim Technologies do Brasil Ltda. in excess of $4,133,500 cumulatively.

OTHER



The Company is committed to pay an arm's length third party $75,000 upon the listing of ZIM Company's common shares on a national securities exchange selected by ZIMs Board of Directors.



Zim Technologies do Brasil Ltda. may be subject to the Contribution of Intervention on Economic Domain tax on values remitted abroad. However, the Company's management intends to contest this assessment if issued. Consequently, no provision has been accounted for in that respect. If an assessment is issued and the Company is unsuccessful at contesting the assessment, the resulting settlement would not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

18 - SEGMENT REPORTING



Management has determined that the Company operates in two reportable segments: enterprise software and Short Message Service (SMS). Enterprise software involves providing enterprise software for designing, developing and manipulating database systems and applications. SMS involves providing SMS applications and services.



The Company considers all revenues and expenses to be of an operating nature and accordingly, allocates them to the segments.  Costs specific to a segment are charged directly to the segment.  Company office expenses are allocated to either of the segments based on gross revenues.  Significant assets of the Company include cash, working capital and goodwill.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of the significant accounting policies.



The following table sets forth external revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses and other amounts attributable to these product lines:

18 - COMPARATIVE FIGURES



Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.



19  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



On May 31, 2005 ZIM Corporation entered into an Agreement and Release with the former shareholders of EPL Communications Ltd. and E-Promotions Limited ("EPL Shareholders"). Due to ZIM's recent withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form SB-2, it was unable to register for resale the shares issued to the EPL Shareholders as specified in the EPL Purchase Agreement. Under the Agreement and Release, ZIM issued to the EPL Shareholders options to purchase an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares of ZIM common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, the market price on May 12, 2005.  In addition, the EPL Shareholders and ZIM released one another from any and all prior, current or future claims in connection with the EPL Purchase. ZIM has also entered into Consulting Agreements with certain of the EPL Shareholders, pursuant to which they agreed to provide ZIM with technical expertise.



20 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



(i) SFAS NO. 123R



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R"). This revised standard addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the new standard, companies will no longer be able to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB 25. Instead, companies will be required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in the consolidated statement of income. SFAS 123R will be effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and allows, but does not require, companies to restate the full fiscal year of 2005 to reflect the impact of
expensing share-based payments under SFAS 123R. Management believes the impact on ZIM'S financial statements of applying one of the acceptable fair-value based methods of accounting for stock options approximates the amounts disclosed in Note 3.

(ii) SFAS 153

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (SFAS 153), "Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets" as an amendment to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29 (APB 29), "Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions." APB 29 prescribes that exchanges of non-monetary transactions should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged, while providing an

exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception provided in APB 29 and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for all non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect there to be any material effect on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the new standard.
