SAND TECHNOLOGY INC.

Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the Fiscal Year EndedJuly 31, 2012

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, we make oral and written statements that may
be considered "forward looking statements" (rather than historical facts). We
are taking advantage of the "safe-harbour" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements we may make
from time to time, including the forward-looking statements in this Annual
Report.

You can identify these statements when you see words such as
"may", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", and other
similar expressions. These forward-looking statements relate, among other items,
to:

- our future capital needs;·
- future expectations as to profitability and operating results;
- our ability to further develop business relationships and revenues;
- our expectations about the markets for our products and services;
- acceptance of our products and services;
- competitive factors;
- our ability to maintain operating expenses;
- our ability to attract and retain employees;
- new products and technological changes;
- our ability to develop appropriate strategic alliances;
- protection of our proprietary technology;
- our ability to acquire complementary products or businesses and integrate
  them into our business;
- our ability to increase revenue from existing products and services;
- our ability to expand the scope of our product offering.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our
current plans and expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Our actual results
could differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements
as a result of the factors described in the Risk Factors included elsewhere in
this Annual Report, including, among others:

- the fluctuation of interest rates, credit worthiness of our clients and
  fluctuations of foreign currencies;
- our history of losses;
- the timing of our future capital needs and our ability to raise additional
  capital when needed;
- potential fluctuations in our financial results and our difficulties in
  forecasting;
- volatility of the stock markets and fluctuations in the market price of
  our stock;
- the ability to buy and sell our shares on the Over the Counter Bulletin
  Board;
- our ability to compete with other companies in our industry;
- our dependence upon a limited number of customers;
- our ability to retain and attract key personnel;
- risk of significant delays in product development;
- failure to timely develop or license new technologies;

- v -

---

- risks relating to any requirement to correct or delay the release of
  products due to software bugs or errors;
- risk of system failure or interruption;
- risks associated with any further dramatic expansions and retractions in
  the future;
- risks associated with international operations;
- problems which may arise in connection with the acquisition or integration
  of new businesses, products, services, technologies or other strategic
  relationships;
- risks associated with protecting our intellectual property, and
  potentially infringing the intellectual property rights of others;
- risks to holders of our common shares following any issuance of our
  preferred shares; and
- the ability to enforce legal claims against us or our officers or
  directors.

Except as required by applicable laws, we undertake no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

*B.**Capitalization and Indebtedness*

Not applicable.

*C.**Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds*

Not applicable.

*D.**Risk factors*

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to
a variety of risks. The following risk factors describe the most significant
events, facts or circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon
our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement
our business plan and the market price for our securities. Many of these events
are outside of our control. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones
we face. Additional risks not presently known or currently considered
insignificant may also have a material adverse effect upon our business,
financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business
plan and the market price for our securities.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS:

We have a history of losses.

While we realised a profit following the sale of a division
this year, we had not experienced a profitable year since fiscal year 2003, when
we had a gain from the sale of a subsidiary. On July 31, 2012 we had a working
capital of $97,140 and an accumulated deficit of $42,130,308. In order to become
profitable, we will need to generate significant additional revenues to offset
our cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development and selling,
general and administrative expenses. We may not achieve or sustain our revenue
or profit objectives and our losses may continue or increase in the future in
which case you might lose your entire investment. If we are not able to fund our
operations through product sales in the immediate future or raise additional
financing, we will have to cease operations.

We may not be able to obtain additional financing when
needed or on acceptable terms.

There is no assurance that additional financing, when required,
will be available or, if it is, whether it will be available on acceptable
terms. Our inability to obtain additional financing when required, or the terms
on which it may be available, could have a material adverse effect on our
business and require us to suspend or cease our operations. If we are required
to cease our operations, you could lose your entire investment.

We have incurred substantial debt which could affect our
ability to obtain additional financing and may increase our vulnerability to
economic and/or business downturns.

On April 18, 2008, the Company issued secured convertible
debentures ("Convertible Debentures") on a private placement and received gross
proceeds of $1,009,819 (U.S.$1,002,600) representing a total of 1,114 units.
Each unit consists of one 8% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2017, having
a nominal value of U.S.$900, redeemable at the option of the Company if the bid
price of the common share has been above U.S.$1.50 for 60 consecutive trading
days, and convertible at the option of the holder into class A common shares
at U.S.$0.45 per share, and 1,000 share purchase warrants of the Company. Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (warrant
share) of the Company at a price of U.S.$0.70 per warrant share at any time
until the earlier of the close of business day which is either thirty six (36) months from April 18, 2008 or the bid price of the stock
has been above U.S.$1.50 for sixty (60) consecutive trading days. Interest is
calculated at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in common shares at a rate of
U.S.$0.45 per share. Before the warrants expired on April 18, 2011, certain
holders exercised 780,000 warrants and 334,000 warrants expired. The interest is
due on each conversion date (date when the principal amount is being converted)
subsequent to January 1, 2009 or on the maturity date. The financing is secured
by a first rank hypothec on all of the Companys property and assets, movable
and immovable, corporeal and incorporeal, present and future, for the principal
accrued interest amounts. The proceeds from the private placement were used for
marketing and advertising and for expansion of the business.

- 8 -

---

As a result, we are subject to the risks associated with
substantial indebtedness, including:

-**** it may
be more difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financing, if
available at all;

-**** we are
more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations in interest rates, less
able to withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes
in our industry and general economic conditions; and

-**** if we
default under any of our existing indebtedness or if our creditors demand
payment of a portion or all of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient
funds to make such payments.

If we default under our financing agreements, we may have to
forfeit our rights to our assets.

We have pledged all of our assets, including the assets of our
subsidiaries, as security to holders of our Convertible Debentures. A default
under our Convertible Debentures, if not waived or cured, would permit the
holders of our Convertible Debentures to foreclose on the collateral and we
could lose all our rights in the collateral, which would have a materially
adverse effect on our business. As a result, we could have to suspend or cease
our operations and you could lose your entire investment.

We are highly dependent on our key employees.

We rely heavily on our key employees for providing services and
for continued business development. We have employment agreements which contain
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions with certain key employees. Our
business could be materially adversely affected if a number of key employees
were to leave us and if we were unable to enforce the non-competition and
non-solicitation agreements or to attract and retain qualified replacements.

If we cannot deliver the features and functionality our
customers demand, we will be unable to attract customers, and that will result
in a loss of income and eventually a termination of our operations.

As a provider of business intelligence management information
technology, our future success depends largely upon our ability to determine the
features and functionality our customers demand and to design and implement
products that meet their needs in a cost efficient manner. Although we have
often been a leader in introducing new products and technologies, maintaining
that leadership while responding to downward pressures on price is an ongoing
challenge. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully determine
customer requirements or that our current or future products and services will
adequately satisfy customer demands. If we cannot meet our customers demands,
we will not generate revenues from this business and we may have to cease or
suspend key operations.

- 9 -

---

Our business depends on the protection of our intellectual
property and proprietary information.

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality
procedures, contractual provisions and patent laws to protect our proprietary
rights in our products and technology. These measures may not be adequate to
protect our trade secrets and proprietary technology. As a result, unauthorized
third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology.
To enforce and defend our intellectual property rights and our proprietary
rights, we may have to engage in litigation, either domestically or in other
countries, and we could face substantial costs and diversion of resources,
including managements attention, regardless of the outcome of that litigation.
Our attempts to enforce our intellectual property rights may not be successful,
may result in royalties that are less than the cost of such enforcement efforts
or may result in the loss of the intellectual property altogether. Furthermore,
we may not have adequate funds available to prosecute actions to protect or
defend our proprietary rights, in which case those using our proprietary rights
may continue to do so in the future. Even if we succeeded in protecting our
intellectual property, others may independently develop similar technologies or
products that do not infringe on our intellectual property.

Third parties may claim that our current or future products
or services infringe their proprietary rights or assert other claims against
us.

Any claims filed against us alleging that we infringe
third-party proprietary rights could result in significant expenses or
restrictions on our ability to provide our products and services. As the number
of entrants into our market increases, the possibility of an intellectual
property or other claim against us grows. Any intellectual property or other
claim, with or without merit, would be time-consuming and expensive to litigate
or settle and could divert managements attention from focusing on our core
business. As a result of such a dispute, we may have to pay damages, incur
substantial legal fees, develop costly non-infringing technology, if possible,
or enter into license agreements, which may not be available on terms acceptable
to us, if at all. As a result, our business and operating results could be
materially adversely affected. No such claims have been filed against us at this
time.

Competitive conditions could materially adversely affect our
businesses.

The markets in which we do, and intend to do business are
highly competitive. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends, in
part, upon our ability to develop and commercialize efficient and effective
products based on our technologies. We compete against established companies as
well as numerous independently owned small businesses. Many of our competitors
are capable of developing products based on similar technology, have developed
and are capable of continuing to develop products based on other technologies,
which are or may be competitive with our products and technologies. There are
many competitors in all market segments in which we operate, some of which have
significantly greater resources or capital than us, or have better reputations
among potential customers in the delivery of particular services or products.
Our competitors may succeed in developing competing products and technologies
that are more effective than our products and technologies, which may render our
existing and new products or technology uncompetitive, uneconomical or
obsolete.

We may be exposed to liability claims.

We have general liability insurance coverage for $5,000,000.
However, if a judgment is rendered against us in excess of the amount of our
coverage, we may have to cease operations. If we are sued for any reason, we
will have to rely on our liability insurance to pay any judgment rendered
against us.

- 10 -

---

Although we maintain a general liability insurance of
$5,000,000, there is no assurance that:

-   our insurance will provide adequate coverage
against potential liabilities if a product or a service we provide causes harm
or fails to perform as promised;

-   adequate liability insurance will continue to be
available in the future; or

-   our insurance can be maintained on acceptable
terms.

The obligation to pay any liability claim in excess of whatever
insurance we are able to obtain would increase our expenses and could greatly
reduce our assets or cause us to cease operations. If a judgment is rendered
against us for any amount over our coverage of $5,000,000, we may have to cease
operations.

Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could result
in decreased revenues and increased operating expenses.

While our functional currency is the Canadian dollar and we
report our results in Canadian dollars, we have revenues and operating expenses
outside of Canada. Fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar are
difficult to predict and can cause us to incur currency exchange costs.
Although, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our
future operating results, any material changes could cause our operating results
to be materially adversely affected.

Our existing shareholders can exercise effective control
over us.

To the knowledge of the Company, our major shareholders own
approximately 47.8% of our Class A Common Shares. Arthur G. Ritchie our former
Chairman of the Board beneficially owns approximately 17.8% of SANDs Class A
Common Shares. Thomas ODonnell, former Chief Executive Officer of SAND and a
director of SAND, beneficially owns approximately 8.7% of SANDs Class A
Common Shares. Carol Shattner, the wife of the late Jerome Shattner (Jerome
Shattner was the late Executive Vice President of the Company), beneficially
owns 5.2% of our Class A Common Shares. Two other shareholders, Irwin Zalcberg
and Carol Fiala beneficially own approximately 10.3% and 5.8% of SANDs Class
A respectively. These shareholders may, as a practical matter, continue to be
able to control the election of a majority of the directors of SAND and the
determination of many corporate actions. This concentration of ownership could
also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of SAND.

Our ability to issue Class B Shares could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire us to the detriment of holders of Class
A Common Shares.

Our articles of incorporation provide for an unlimited number
of Class B Shares which, if ever they are issued, may make it difficult for a
third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be
beneficial to our shareholders. Our board has the authority to attach special
rights, including voting or dividend rights, to the Class B Shares. However,
the voting rights of a Class B Share cannot exceed those of a Class A Common
Share. Class B shareholders who possess these rights could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire our Company.

- 11 -

---

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON SHARES:

The market for our common shares is limited.

The market for our common shares is limited and you may not be
able to resell your common shares. There is currently only a limited trading
market for our common stock. Our common shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board
operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. under the
symbol SNDTF. Trading volume of OTC Bulletin Board stocks has been
historically lower and more volatile than stocks traded on an exchange. As a
result, you may not be able to resell your securities in open market
transactions.

There are a large number of outstanding stock options and
warrants issued that if exercised may be available for future sale and the sale
of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

As of November 28, 2012, 20,209,076 shares of our common stock
were outstanding and 5,738,382 shares are issuable upon conversion or exercise
of our outstanding Convertible Debentures, warrants and stock options. The entry
of this substantial number of shares into the public market, or the mere
expectation of the entry of those shares into the market could adversely affect
the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to obtain
capital through securities offerings.

Our common shares are subject to penny stock rules which
restrict the liquidity of your investment.

Our common shares are now and may continue to be in the future
subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (Exchange Act). These rules regulate broker/dealer practices for
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions. The penny stock
rules require broker/dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks
in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and
offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information
must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the
transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the
customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior
to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a special written
determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser
and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These
additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome, discourage
investor interest, and may reduce the trading activity in the market for our
common stock. As long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules,
holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

Our operating results have and may continue to vary from
quarter to quarter, and as a result, we may fail to meet the expectations of our
investors and analysts, which may cause our stock price to fluctuate or
decline.

As a software vendor, our contract flow is sometimes
unpredictable, and to the extent that if we do not generate new business upon
completion of existing contracts, our revenue will decline. Due to these
factors, our revenue and operating results have fluctuated and may continue to
fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Due to these risks, you should not rely on
period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of
future performance.

- 12 -

---

Ineffective internal controls could have a material adverse
effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose
confidence in our financial reporting.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements because of their inherent limitations, including the
possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or
fraud. Even effective internal controls can only provide reasonable assurance
with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls, including the failure to
implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in
their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we
could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could cause
investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a
material adverse effect on our stock price.

ITEM 4.       INFORMATION
ON THE COMPANY

*A.**History and Development of the Company*

SAND Technology Inc. was incorporated on December 10, 1982
under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") and carried on business
under the name Sand Technology Systems (Canada) Inc. until 1988. From 1988 until
1999, we used the name Sand Technology Systems International Inc. On January 1,
2000, we changed our name to SAND Technology Inc. Our principal place of
business is located at 4115 Sherbrooke St. West, Suite 500, Westmount, Quebec,
Canada H3Z 1B1 and our phone number is (514) 939-3477.

Until 1999, an important part of our business was the sale and
service of mainframe peripheral products manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. of Japan,
through Hitachi Data Systems Inc. ("HDS Canada"). HDS Canada marketed a broad
range of information processing solutions, including enterprise servers, storage
subsystems, peripheral products and professional services. SAND was the legal
and beneficial owner of 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of HDS Canada.
Hitachi Data Systems Company ("HDSC") of Santa Clara, California was the legal
and beneficial owner of the remaining 60%. In August 1999, SAND sold its
interest in HDS Canada to HDSC and withdrew from the mainframe computer market
and the peripheral hardware market.

We then fully shifted and have since maintained our focus on
the design, development, marketing and support of software products,
collectively known as the SAND Product Suite, that enable users to retrieve
usable business information from large amounts of data and on providing
specialized systems integration services in connection with those products.

Initially, SAND offered products mainly as part of a systems
integration model. At the end of the 2002 fiscal year, we consolidated the
systems integration portion of our business which had been growing in importance
and subsequently re-branded it with the name ClarityBlue. ClarityBlue Limited
(previously named Sand Technology (U.K.) Limited) ("ClarityBlue") concentrated
on developing a strong competitive practice utilizing the SAND/DNA Analytics
precursor product as an engine for its Customer Analytic offering, and was able
to attract high profile customers particularly in the telecommunications and
financial services markets in the United Kingdom. ClarityBlue was sold on July
31, 2003 to a group of investors which included members of the senior management
of ClarityBlue.

During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company undertook a
major restructuring of its activities and mission:

- In October, 2011, the Company successfully sold its SAP ILM Product Line
  to Informatica Corporation and realized a gain of $8,571,967;
- In June 2012, the Companys Board of Directors and management team
  initiated a review of the business, including consideration of all available
  strategic options, with the objective of maximizing value for shareholders. As
  a result, the Company chose to reduce its sales initiatives and its product
  development and refocused its activities on a range of associated services,
  including maintenance, support, training and system implementation consulting
  to better service its existing client base. Furthermore, the Company reduced
  its work force eliminating 20 positions, the United Kingdom, the U.S.
  Australia and Germany in an effort to contain costs.

*B.**Business Overview*

1)Business
Description

SAND is involved in the design, development, marketing and
support of software products and services that deliver usable business
information from Big Data. The software products, collectively known as the SAND
Analytic Platform, are designed to provide an efficient and cost effective way
for business users to make fast and easy inquiries of large data sets without
the intervention of specialist information technology professionals.

Our revenues consist of license fees for software products and
fees for a range of associated services, including software maintenance and
support, training and system implementation consulting. Our plans to achieve
profitability in the future will continue to require us to devote substantial
financial resources to continue the development, marketing and the distribution
of our products and services and generally support our operations.

2)Products and
Services

The SAND Analytic Platform is based on our patented tokenized
columnar database engine. It is an enterprise platform technology that enables
organizations to maximize the business value of corporate information by
supporting better business decisions through intuitive interactive data access
which allows keeping more data available for analysis. Our products permit more
timely and accurate decisions across an entire organization making "business
intelligence" a key component of operational excellence.

SAND Analytic Platform

SAND Analytic Platform is substantially faster than any
traditional relational database and can be searched directly by business users
using standard business intelligence tools. This is a breakthrough technology
and has particular impact on the current information technology environment
where volumes of corporate data are growing at an exponential rate.

During fiscal 2011 and 2012, the focus of the R&D work was
associated with enhancing in-database analytics, performance enhancements and
scalability with the introduction of the Massively Parallel Processing (MPP)
architecture. The support of the PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language)
standard enables processing complex statistical and mathematical models inside
the database engine. The MPP architecture enables the SAND database to scale to
many terabytes and still deliver great performance.

3) Key Business Segments and Uses of
Our Software Solutions

Our customers in Canada, the United States and Europe use
SANDs solutions for:

a)**** Analytical and operational purposes, including market
segmentation, CRM analytics, Web analytics, Business Performance Management and
strategic planning, and

b)**** Regulatory and compliance applications, including efficient
storage and retrieval of large amounts of historical data.

In particular, the SAND Analytics Platform is used to provide
fast measurable business benefits in the retail, finance, healthcare,
transportation, telecommunication, manufacturing, government and insurance
sectors. Customers, often at the recommendation of systems integrators or
platform partners, use our products in support of strategic corporate
initiatives including e-business, customer relationship management, reporting,
supply chain management, risk analysis and management, product trend and
profitability analysis, fraud detection, emerging markets, information lifecycle
management, competitive analysis and quality control. Increasingly as
organizations shift the competitive landscape from operations to intelligence,
these information-intensive decisions are not stand-alone, but a core part of an
integrated information management infrastructure.

4) Business Locations

a)**** Our corporate headquarters are located in Westmount, Canada. We
have offices in Kenilworth, New Jersey and Pasadena, California, through our
wholly-owned subsidiary Sand Technology Corporation, to provide for the

5)Key partners

We now have marketing, sales and technical arrangements in
place with a number of recognized systems integration partners who have trained
personnel in the marketing and deployment of our products.

6) Company Strategy

Our long term direction for our high performance analytical and
intelligent information management products has always been to ensure that these

In June 2012, the Companys Board of Directors and management
team initiated a review of the business, including consideration of all
available strategic options, with the objective of maximizing value for
shareholders. As a result, the Company chose to reduce its sales initiatives and
its product development and refocused its activities on a range of associated
services, including maintenance, support, training and system implementation
consulting to better service its existing client base. Furthermore, the Company
reduced its work force eliminating 20 positions in Canada, the United Kingdom,
the U.S., Australia and Germany in an effort to contain costs.

7) Competition

We compete in the highly competitive computer software
industry. The market in which we operate is still developing and is intensively
competitive, highly fragmented, and characterized by rapidly changing technology
and evolving standards. Our current and potential competitors offer a variety of
solutions and generally fall within several categories:

- vendors that offer data warehouse appliances which operate specifically
  with their proprietary platform such as IBM / Netezza, Teradata and Oracle;
- other companies that may in the future announce offerings of enterprise
  information management solutions.

Our competitive position in our market is uncertain and
changing due principally to the variety of current and potential competitors and
the emerging nature of the market. We expect additional competition as other
established and emerging companies enter into the intelligent information
management software market and new products and technologies are introduced.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders,
reduced gross margins, longer sales cycles, and loss of market share.

We compete primarily on the basis of product features, lower
total cost of ownership, return on investment , time to market, ease of use,
product performance, product quality, user scalability, open architecture,
customer support and price. While we believe we presently compete favorably with
respect to each of these factors, our market is evolving at a rapid pace.

8) Proprietary Rights

We currently rely primarily on a combination of copyright and
trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and
contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We seek to protect our
software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and
copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. We currently have nine
United States patents and thirty-two foreign patents.

In 1994, SAND acquired all the rights, title and interest in
the Nucleus Database Engine Subsystem in addition to trademarks, trade names and
other proprietary rights, their interests included patents related to bit vector
compression and Boolean operation processing capability.

In October 1997, SAND acquired the Advanced Technology Group of
XDB Systems, Inc. as well as the rights to the source code of Quantum Leap.
Quantum Leap was designed to provide a more flexible architecture for
customization and incorporation of new technology quickly and effectively using
small footprint engines.

The Company has been issued nine United States patents and
thirty-two foreign patents which provide protection for the SAND Analytic Server
and the SAND Searchable Archive which incorporate the Nucleus database engine
and other Nucleus derived products.

The Company has also filed applications in accordance with the
Patent Cooperation Treaty (the "PCT"). The PCT is a multilateral treaty that was
concluded in Washington in 1970 and entered into force in 1978. It is
administered by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (the "WIPO"), headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The PCT
facilitates the obtaining of protection for inventions where such protection is
sought in any or all of the PCT contracting states. It provides for the filing
of one patent application (the "international application"), with effect in
several contracting states, instead of filing several separate national and/or
regional patent applications. At the present time, an international application
may include designation for regional patents in respect of contracting states
party to regional patent treaties. The PCT does not eliminate the necessity of
prosecuting the international application in the national phase of processing
before the national or regional offices, but it does facilitate such prosecution
in several important respects by virtue of the procedures carried out first on
all international applications during the international phase of processing
under the PCT. The formalities check, the international search and (optionally)
the international preliminary examination carried out during the international
phase, as well as the automatic deferral or national processing which is
entailed, give the applicant more time and better basis for deciding whether and
in what countries to further pursue the application.

The Company holds registered trademarks and trademarks. SAND
Technology, N-Vector, Sandonline and Nucleus are registered trademarks, and SAND
DNA Analytics, SAND Analytic Server, and all related SAND − and Nucleus-based
marks and designs are trademarks of the Company.

On October 5, 2011 SAND sold its SAP Information Lifecycle
Management or ILM Product Line to Informatica Software, Inc.

9) Seasonality

The Companys operations are not seasonal and its operations
are carried out year round.

10) Impact of Governmental
Regulations

Other than government regulations of general application, no
government body has specific authority to regulate the business of the Company.

Revenues for 2011 and 2012 are
presented net of revenues generated from discontinued operations

The decrease in revenue for the year ended July 31, 2012 is
attributable to the decrease in sales efforts following the corporate
restructuring and lay-off of employees and because of the completion of a higher
amount of sales of high value software licenses in Europe during the first half
of Fiscal 2011 than during the first half of Fiscal 2012.

|Year-over-year variation        |   | -53.8%     | 

In Canada, sales for the year ended July 31, 2012 were slightly
higher because the Company was able to maintain similar levels of maintenance,
support and increase its consulting and service revenue. In the United States,
sales for the year ended July 31, 2012 were lower than the comparative previous
years sales due to increased competition and decreased sales opportunities
resulting from the continued sluggish US economy.

In Europe, despite a relatively good third quarter compared to
the same period in 2011, sales for the year ended July 31, 2012 were lower than
the previous years sales results due to the overall decrease in the sales of
product licenses and services because of stiff competition.

---

During the year ended July 31, 2012, cost of sales and product
support decreased compared to the previous year amounts mostly as a result of
the reduced level of activities and the change in the mix of revenues as the
Company generated fewer sales of software fom all its product lines following
the sale of the SAP ILM Product Line in the first quarter.

During the year ended July 31, 2012, net research and
development costs increased slightly because the amount of tax credits revenue
netted against R&D expenses were lower than in the previous year. Also, the
Company only progressively rationalized its workforce following the sale of the
SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Product Line realized in the fall of
2011. During the fourth quarter, the Company announced that it has reduced its
workforce eliminating a number of positions in Canada, the United Kingdom, the
US and Germany in an effort to contain costs, some of which were in R&D.

The increase in Amortization of Capital Assets in fiscal year
2012 from the amortization in fiscal year 2011 was due to the increase in total
fixed assets, mainly due to the addition of leasehold improvement.

During the
  year ended July 31, 2012, the decrease in selling, general and administrative
  expenses was 6.9% when compared to the year ended July 31, 2011. While selling
  and administrative expenses remained stable during the first 9 months of the
  year, as a result of sale of the SAP ILM Product Line in the first quarter and
  the restructuring announced at the end of the third quarter, the level of
  expenses started to decrease. It is the objective of the company to decrease its
  selling, general and administrative expenses as the Company maintains its
  continued focus on controlling costs by keeping the headcount to an optimal
  level, spending selectively and effectively and controlling travel and
  entertainment.

Interest expense of $108,860 for fiscal year 2012 was 63.5% lower
  than the previous year amount of $297,878 as a result of the reimbursement of
  the Due to Shareholders made during the year and lower accretion expense on the
  convertible debentures.

The foreign exchange loss of $368,887 for fiscal 2012 was
significantly higher than the amount of $72,146 recorded for fiscal 2011. The
increase is due primarily to its significant holding of US cash and a US
receivable from the sale of its SAP ILM Product Line at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2012 and the crystallization of the foreign exchange impact at
that time.

    operations
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The loss before the sale of the discontinued operations was
$6,047,930 compared to $3,660,356 in 2011. The increase in the loss is due
primarily to the decrease in sales of new software licenses and the resulting
decrease in gross margin. In addition, the decrease in sales efforts following
the sale of the SAP division in the first quarter and the restructuring announced during the
4thquarter impacted our ability to generate new clients. The
fluctuation in exchange rates also negatively impacted income for fiscal year
ended July 31, 2012.

- 22 -

---

The gain on sale of a business segment in the amount of
$8,571,967 is in relation to the sale of our SAP ILM Product Line to Informatica
Corporation in October 2011. The Company realised income of $279,660 from its
discontinued operation in 2011 compared to $1,453,364 during the year ended July
31, 2011.

As a result of the gain on sale of a business segment, we
recognized a net income of $2,803,697 for the year ended July 31, 2012 compared
to a loss of $2,206,992 for fiscal 2011.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on the Companys
operations.

Impact of Foreign Currency

Since we currently earn revenues and incur expenses in United
States dollars, British pounds, Euros, Australian Dollars and Canadian dollars,
exchange rates for these and other local currencies in countries where we may
operate in the future may fluctuate in relation to the Canadian dollar and such
fluctuations may have an adverse effect on our earnings or assets when United
States dollars, British pounds, Euros, Australian dollars or local currencies
are exchanged for Canadian dollars. We have not entered into forward foreign
exchange contracts. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of revenue
and expenses denominated in United States dollars, British pounds, Euros and
Australian dollars into Canadian dollars have been included in our results of
operations in to the audited consolidated financial statements.

Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact on our
results of operations for fiscal year 2012. While the average rate of the US$
was 1.008 compared to $0.9943 in 2011, an important loss on foreign exchange was
realized in the first quarter as a result of its significant holding of US cash
and a US receivable from the sale of its SAP ILM Product Line in October 2011.
Our results were also negatively affected by the important decrease of the Euro
which averaged 1.2752 for the year ended July 31, 2012 compared to 1.3666 for
the same period in 2011. The variation of average rates for the British pound
and the Australian dollars were not significant.

Summary of Quarterly Results

The following tables set forth the unaudited statements of
operations for each of the quarters of fiscal years 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
The quarterly results, in managements opinion, have been prepared on a basis
consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements and include the
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information.

Sales of the Companys products and services are not subject to
seasonal variations. Historically, the Companys operating results have
fluctuated on a quarterly basis. The Companys revenues, expenses and operating
results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter because of a number of
factors. These factors may include the timing of product sales and the length of
the sales cycle. As a result, period-to-period comparisons may not be meaningful
comparisons of the Companys results nor are they necessarily indicative of the
future results of the Company.

*B.****Liquidity
and Capital Resources*

Our cash balance as at July 31, 2012 was $811,655 compared to
$810,745 as at July 31, 2011 and $579,270 at August 1, 2010.

The changes in cash are as follows:

|                                                |   | For

The increase from July 31, 2011 to July 31, 2012 is
attributable to the Companys sale of its SAP ILM Product Line to Informatica
Corporation for a consideration of US$8,000,000 offset by the use of funds for
operations and for the reimbursement of payables and debt.

The Company generated a negative cash flow of $4,994,066 from
operating activities during the year ended July 31, 2012 as compared to a
negative cash flow of $979,269 from operating activities during the year ended
July 31, 2011, resulting from sale of the SAP division and the reduced level of
activities. The overall decrease in cash flows from operating activities is the
result of lower sales and gross margin from the remaining activities and from
discontinued operations compared to the same period in 2011.

Changes in working capital items for the year ended July 31,
2012 represented a decrease of $203,896 while they was an increase $870,119 for
the same period a year earlier mostly because of a decrease in deferred revenue
and payables in the current period.

Investing activities for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011
were composed of capital expenditures of $209,568 and $57,436 respectively and
of the proceeds from sale of discontinued operations in the amount of $7,433,530
in 2012.

Financing activities represent funds provided by shareholders
and private investors and the issuance of share capital or units and the
repayment of debt. The Company generated a negative cash flow of $2,016,519 from
financing activities during the year ended July 31, 2012 as compared to a
positive cash flow of $444,434 from financing activities during the year ended
July 31, 2011. For the year ended July 31, 2012, the negative cash flow is
mainly attributable to the significant payment made to the Companys former
President and Chief Executive Officer from the initial proceeds of the sale of
the SAP ILM Product Line in the amount of $1,914,837. The Company also
reimbursed the bridge loan of $1,000,000 that had been raised in the first
quarter.

During the same period in 2011, the Company had raised $448,558
through the issuance of units related to private placements and cash inflows in
the amount $362,067 from advances from shareholders which were offset by
reimbursements of $304,028 made during the year.

Working Capital

As of July 31, 2012, there was a working capital surplus of
$97,140 as compared to a working capital deficiency of $1,248,354 as of July 31,
2011. Working capital surplus (deficiency) has been calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
The significant improvement in working capital between July 31, 2011 and July
31, 2012 is mainly attributable to the proceeds generated from the sale of the
SAP ILM Product Line to Informatica Corporation for a consideration of US
$8,000,000 which were used in part for the repayment of debt, borrowings and
payables.

| | b) | Convertible debentures consisting of 1,114 Units issued
      as part of a private placement transaction on April 18, 2008. Each unit
      consists of one 8% Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2017, having a
      nominal value of U.S.$900, redeemable at the option of the Company if the
      bid price of the common share has been above $1.50 for 60 consecutive
      trading days, and convertible at the option of the holder into class A
      Common Shares at U.S.$0.45 per share, and 1,000 share purchase warrants of
      the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional
      common share (warrant share) of the Company at a price of U.S.$0.70 per
      warrant share at any time until the earlier of the close of business day
      which is either thirty six (36) months from April 18, 2008 or the bid
      price of the stock has been above U.S.$1.50 for sixty (60) consecutive
      trading days. Interest is calculated at the rate of 8% per annum, payable
      in Common Shares at a rate of U.S.$0.45 per share. Before the warrants
      expired on April 18, 2011, certain holders exercised 780,000 warrants and
      334,000 warrants expired. The interest is due on each conversion date
      (date when the principal amount is being converted) subsequent to January
      1, 2009 or on the maturity date. The financing is secured by a first rank
      hypothec on all of the Companys property and assets, movable and
      immovable, corporeal and incorporeal, present and future, for the
      principal accrued interest amounts. The redemption value of the
      convertible debentures on the maturity date, December 31, 2017, is
      U.S.$1,777,944.

*C.**Research
  and Development, Patents and Licenses*

Our research and development activities focus on enhancing its
current products to exceed customer expectations and to develop new products to
maintain our competitive advantage in the market.

Our research and development activities are central to fueling
its existing and potential business. We engage in research and development
activities relating to the introduction of new features, enhancements and new
packaged products.

We maintain our main research and development facility in
Westmount, Canada. We also have a network of research and development
technologists in the United States and the United Kingdom. As of November 28,
2012, there are 5 technologists. After research and development tax credits,
SAND spent $1,441,537 in 2012 and $1,223,963 in 2011 on research and
development.

We will continue to focus on research and development efforts
that are key to responding to changing technology.

Research and development expenses consist mainly of salaries
and other personnel-related costs of technical and engineering personnel
associated with our research and product development activities, including the
enhancement and localization of existing products, quality assurance, and
testing.

Research and development expenses, before research and
development tax credits, were $1,616,537, an increase of 4.3% over the
$1,549,671 that was spent for the same period a year earlier. The Company only
progressively rationalized its workforce following the sale of the SAP
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Product Line realized in the fall of
2011. During the fourth quarter, the Company announced that it had reduced its
workforce eliminating a number of positions in Canada, the United Kingdom, the
U.S., Australia and Germany in an effort to contain costs, some of which were in
R&D. Research and development expenses are expected to decrease in the
following year.

*Trend Information*

Revenue growth in fiscal year 2012 was lower than expected due
to (a) customers cut in IT spending due to the slowdown in the economy, and (b)
a cautious attitude of customers towards investing in long-term solutions. We
will continue to monitor these trends and factors in the current fiscal year
ending July 31, 2013.

Executive Compensation Analysis

General Principles of Executive Compensation

Although the Company has not adopted a formal compensation
program, remuneration plays an important role to attract, motivate and retain
key members of the management team required for its success and to drive
strategic growth. Compensation is designed to reward for services provided and
to provide an incentive for the executive management team to implement
strategies aimed at increasing share value and creating economic value. The
compensation is also established according to the duties and responsibilities
that rest on the individuals and their own level of performance. The total
compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the
constraints under which the Company operates and that it is a technology company
without a history of earnings.

Determining Compensation

The compensation of the Named Executive Officers identified in
Compensation of Executive Management below is established by the Board, upon
the recommendation of the Governance, Nomination, Human Resources and
Compensation Committee (Compensation Committee) (please refer to section C 
Board Practices for more details on the role and responsibility of this
committee). The compensation of the Named Executive Officers, with the exception
of the Chief Executive Officer, is proposed by the Chief Executive Officer to
the Compensation Committee, which recommends the adoption by the Board of
Directors. The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is established by the
Compensation Committee which recommends adoption to the Board of Directors.

Components of Overall Compensation

When assessing total direct annual compensation, the Company
focuses on four key components which are intended to collectively make up most
of an executive total compensation opportunity. There are two fixed components 
base salary and participation in the collective insurance plans. There are two
variable components  incentive bonus and the grant of common share stock
options or common share awards of the Company.

---

Base Salary

The Named Executive Officers receive a base salary which is
based primarily on the level of responsibility of the position, the
qualifications and experience of the officer and market conditions. The base
salary may be paid to the Named Executive Officer in the form of cash, a
consulting fee or in shares.

Incentive Bonus

The amount of bonus is based on factors relating to both
corporate and individual performance, including business development and
profitability.

Option-Based or Share-Base Award Plans

The stock option or share plans are the only long-term
incentive plans (LTIP) of the Company. Stock options or share awards ensure that
the Named Executive Officers are motivated to achieve long-term growth of the
Company and increases in shareholder value, and provide capital accumulation
linked directly to the Companys performance. Stock options or share awards are
made by the Board of Directors, after recommendation by the Compensation
Committee. Stock options or share awards are established, among other things,
according to the role and responsibilities associated with the participants
position and his or her influence over appreciation in shareholder value. The
terms of the plans are described below under section E  Share Ownership.

Other Compensation

The Named Executive Officers have the right to receive the
benefits from any collective insurance plans in force of the Company.

Compensation of Executive Management

The following table sets forth information concerning the
compensation paid to the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer and

The Audit Committee is comprised of two directors, all of whom
are independent under applicable Canadian requirements and the rules of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Based on their
profiles (please see Item 6A  Directors, for more details), the education and
experience of each Audit Committee member is relevant to the performance of his
responsibilities as a Committee member. All the members of the Committee are
"financially literate" and have the ability to read and understand a set of

During fiscal 2012, following the resignation of two Directors,
the announcement of a restructuring and the departure of Senior management
including the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial
Officer and the Vice-president of Research and Development, the Board of
Directors retained the services of a strategic advisor and a financial
consultant to assist them in fulfilling the responsibilities normally associated
with these positions.

The Audit Committee meets on a quarterly basis and holds
special meetings as circumstances require. During the year ended on July 31,

meetings of the Audit Committee held during the last fiscal year.

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

The Company has reviewed its corporate governance practices in
light of the guidelines contained in

Regulation 58-101 respecting Disclosure of Corporate
Governance Practice("Regulation 58-101") of the Canadian Securities
Administrators. A description of the Companys corporate governance practices is
set out below in response to the requirements of Regulation 58-101.

Board of Directors Delegation

The Board had delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and
senior management the responsibility for day-to-day management of the business
of the Company, subject to compliance with the plans approved from time to time
by the Board of Directors. In addition to those matters, which must by law or by
the Articles of the Company be approved by the Board, the Board retains
responsibility for significant changes in the Companys affairs such as approval
of major capital expenditures, debt and equity financing arrangements and
significant acquisitions and divestitures.

The Board oversees the identification of the principal risks of
the Companys business and the implementation by management of appropriate
systems to manage such risks. The Board reviews from time to time organizational
matters such as succession planning.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the following
directors are "independent" pursuant to National Policy 58-201 Corporate
Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") as they qualify as "independent"
directors, as such term is defined in Regulation 52-110 respecting Audit
Committees: Wayne Musselman, Duncan Painter and George Wicker.

Up until his resignation as Chief Executive Officer on June 30,
2012, Thomas M. ODonnell was not independent.

During fiscal 2012, following the resignation of two Directors,
the announcement of a restructuring and the departure of Senior management
including the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial
Officer and the Vice-president of Research and Development, the Board of
Directors retained the services of a strategic advisor and a financial
consultant to assist them in fulfilling the responsibilities normally associated
with these positions.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board of Directors of the Company takes the following steps
to ensure that all new directors receive orientation regarding the role of the
Board, its committees and its directors, and the nature and operation of the
Company.

The first step is to assess a new directors set of skills and
professional background. This allows the orientation to be customized to that
directors needs since different information regarding the nature and operations
of the Companys business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.
Once determined, one or more existing directors, who may be assisted by the
Companys management, provide the new director with the appropriate orientation
through a series of meetings, telephone calls and other correspondence.

Orientation and education of directors is an ongoing matter. As
such, ongoing informal discussions between management and members of the Board
are encouraged.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Company is committed to promote the highest standard of
ethic and integrity in the pursuance of all of its activities. Furthermore, the
directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to act and to hold
their office within the best interests of the Company. The Company expects all
directors to act in compliance of all laws and regulations applicable to their
office as director of the Company.

In the event any transactions or agreements occur in respect of
which a director or executive officer has a material interest, the matter must
be initially reviewed by the Audit Committee and is then submitted to the Board
of Directors. The Board may implement any measures that it finds necessary in
order to ensure the exercise of independent judgment. In the event a director
has a material interest in any transaction or agreement, such director will
abstain from voting in that regard.

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company does not feel it is
necessary to increase the number of directors on the Board at this time. Also
with the current absence of a Chairman, the Board of Directors, under the Canada
Business Corporations Act, is not mandated to have a Chairman of the Board of
Directors but is currently in the process of determining whether a replacement
will be nominated. A Chairman of the Board, under the Canada Business
Corporations Act, does not have any inherent extra powers over other members of
the Board.

The Governance Committee seeks qualified candidates to be
considered for nomination as directors. Proposed nominations are subject to
review and approval by the Board.

Any new appointees or nominees to the Board of Directors must
have a favourable track record in general business management, special expertise
in areas of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time
required and a willingness to serve as a director.

Compensation

The Governance Committee evaluates the adequacy of compensation
of the directors and the Companys management. After sufficient review and
analysis, the Governance Committee recommends the compensation of the directors
and the Companys management to the Board for approval.

Other Board Committees

As of the date hereof, the Audit Committee and the Governance
Committee are the only Board committees created by the Board of Directors.

Assessments

The Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the
individual and collective effectiveness of the Board and selecting new
directors.

Arrangements Involving the Employees in the Capital of the
Company

The Company has an informal employee compensation plan, which
also applies to management, pursuant to which, if employees fulfill stated goals
with respect to sales revenue, new account penetration, profit contribution and
other criteria, their incomes will increase proportionately above the guaranteed
base until the specified target income is earned or exceeded. The informal
employee compensation plan is not based upon a mathematical formula in the case
of management, but is rather subject to individual discussion.

1996 Stock Incentive Plan

On July 8, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") pursuant to which the beneficiaries
selected by a committee of the Board of Directors may be granted options to
subscribe for Common Shares. The Incentive Plan was confirmed, approved and
ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the annual and special meeting of
the shareholders held on December 17, 1996. On November 9, 1999, by resolution,
the directors of the Company amended the Incentive Plan to increase the maximum
aggregate number of options to purchase Common Shares which may be granted under
the Incentive Plan. This resolution of the directors was confirmed, approved and
ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the annual and special meeting of
the shareholders held on December 17, 1999. The total number of Common Shares of
the Company authorized for grants of options is 1,100,000 (as adjusted to
reflect the share subdivision on a two-for-one basis on December 31, 1996)
subject to adjustment to take into account changes in the capital structure of
the Company.

On November 21, 2005, the Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan to extend the life of the Incentive
Plan for an additional period of ten (10) years. This amendment was confirmed,
approved and ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the annual and
special meeting of the shareholders held on December 15, 2005. On October 3,
2006, the Board of Directors provided for the amendment of each Stock Incentive
Agreement between an optionee and the Company whereby the options granted and
outstanding thereunder became exercisable for a period of ten (10) years from
July 7, 2006 with immediate vesting for all those outstanding options which have
vested on or prior to July 7, 2006.

The Incentive Plan is administered by the Governance Committee
of the Board of Directors. The former Options Committee has been dissolved.

- 42 -

---

The term and number of Common Shares covered by each option, as
well as the permitted frequency of exercise of such options, are determined by
the Governance Committee at the time the options are granted to the recipients.
The number of Common Shares which may be subject to option in favour of a single
recipient may not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company. The
exercise price of each option for Common Shares may not be less than the closing
price of the Common Shares on the trading day prior to the day the option is
granted or, if there was no transaction on that day, the average of the bid and
ask prices on that day, less any discount as decided by the Board of Directors
within the extent permitted by the applicable regulatory provisions. Options
granted under the Incentive Plan may not be assigned or pledged. No financial
assistance is available to recipients in connection with the exercise of an
option. The Company may terminate the Incentive Plan at any time, subject to
vested rights.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, no stock options
were granted, no stock options expired, 357,000 stock options were forfeited and
no stock options were exercised under the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.

During the period August 1, 2012 to November 28, 2012, no stock
options were granted, expired, forfeited or exercised under the 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan.

Share Award Plan

On November 2, 2006, the Board of Directors of SAND established
a Share Award Plan pursuant to which up to 1,000,000 Common Shares of the
Company are issuable through direct and immediate issuances without any
intervening option grants. Each such share issuance shall be evidenced by a
Share Award Agreement that complies with the terms and conditions of the Share
Award Plan, and which state the number of Common Shares being awarded, the
restrictions imposed on the shares awarded under such Share Award Agreement and

which the beneficiaries selected by a committee of the Board of Directors may be
granted stock options or share awards in the Company. The 2010 Incentive Plan
was approved and ratified by the shareholders of the Company at a special
meeting of the shareholders held on January 25, 2011. The maximum number of

The 2010 Incentive Plan is administered by the Governance
Committee of the Board of Directors.

The term and number of Common Shares covered by each stock
option or share award, as well as the permitted frequency of exercise of such
stock options or share awards, will be determined by the Compensation Committee
at the time the stock options or share awards are granted to the recipients. The
number of Common Shares which may be subject to stock options or share awards in
favour of a single recipient may not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares
of the Company. Stock options or share awards granted under the 2010 Incentive
Plan may not be assigned or pledged. No financial assistance is available to
recipients in connection with the exercise of a stock option or share award.
Stock options or share awards which expire or are terminated or surrendered or
unexercised are thereafter available for the granting of other stock options or
share awards. The Company may terminate the Incentive Plan at any time subject
to vested rights.

On January 10, 2012, the Shareholders adopted a resolution to
increase the authorized amount of Class A Common Shares subject to awards or
options under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan from 4,000,000 to 8,000,000.

As at November 28, 2012, 3,863,256 options had been granted and

forfeited and 390,000 stock options were exercised under the 2010 Incentive
Plan.

      conditions pertaining to a loan obtained from Arthur G. Ritchie. The loan
      originated from amounts owed by the Company to Arthur G. Ritchie by virtue
      of his previous employment contracts as President and Chief Executive
      Officer. Arthur G. Ritchie ceased to be President and Chief Executive
      Officer on October 31, 2009. The total amount owing under the loan

      The loan bears interest at 15% that is payable semi-annually on January 1
      and June 30 of each year. The amount may be prepaid at any time by the
      Company without penalty. In the event of default to pay an amount when

      loan agreement. As at July 31, 2011 $1,685,411 including accrued interest

| |     | In conjunction with the original loan agreement, the
      Company also issued 103,061 warrants to Arthur G. Ritchie, with each
      warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Common Share of the
      Company at a price of US$0.44 per share and each warrant being valid for
      the term of the agreement. The residual valuation method was used to
      allocate the proceeds between the debt and equity components of the
      shareholder loan. It was determined that the value of the debt component
      would comprise the entire face value of the loan since the loan had no
      maturity date. Hence, the value of the equity component was determined to
      be nil. These warrants expired during the fiscal year 2010.

was signed between Arthur G. Ritchie (loans disclosed under a), b) and c) above)
and the holders of the Convertible Debentures (collectively the parties), at
the time when the Company issued the Convertible Debentures. The parties agreed
that the sums owing under the Convertible Debentures will be paid by the Company
to the Convertible Debenture holders in priority to the sums owed by the Company
to Arthur G. Ritchie. Specifically, for every $2 paid to the Convertible
Debenture holders, the Company shall remit $1 to Arthur G. Ritchie, representing
the repayment of principal only. The Inter-Creditor Priority Agreement was
amended on October 31, 2009 pursuant to which the parties agreed that the sums
owing under the Convertible Debentures will be paid by the Company to the
holders of the Convertible Debentures pari passu to the sums owing by the
Company to Arthur G. Ritchie such that for every $1 paid to the
Convertible Debenture holders, the Company shall remit $1 to Arthur G. Ritchie.

total of 1,114 units. Each unit consists of one 8% Convertible Debenture due
December 31, 2017 and 1,000 share purchase warrants of the Company. Each warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (Warrant Share) of
the Company at a price of U.S.$0.70 per share. Interest is calculated at the
rate of 8% per annum, payable in Common Shares at a rate of U.S.$0.45 per share.
The financing is secured by a first rank hypothec on all of the Companys
property and assets, movable and immovable, corporeal and incorporeal, present
and future, for the principal accrued interest amounts.

In November 2009, the Company completed a non-brokered private
placement where the Company issued 785,715 units for U.S.$0.70 per unit, for
total gross proceeds of $587,835 (U.S.$550,000) to investors, one of whom is
Thomas M. ODonnell, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Each unit
consists of two Class A Common Shares and one warrant to purchase one Class
A Common Share for an exercise price of U.S.$0.50 per share.

In March 2011, the Company completed a non-brokered private
placement where the Company issued 1,071,432 units for U.S.$0.70 per unit, for
total gross proceeds of $775,073 (U.S.$750,000) to investors, one of whom is
Thomas M. ODonnell, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Each unit
consists of two Class A Common Shares and one warrant to purchase one Class
A Common Share for an exercise price of U.S.$0.50 per share.

During the fourth quarter, Senior management including the
Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer and the
Vice-President of Research and Development left the Corporation. The Board of
Directors retained the services of a strategic advisor and a financial
consultant to assist them in fulfilling the responsibilities normally associated
with these positions.

ITEM
8.       FINANCIAL INFORMATION

*A.**Consolidated
  Statements and Other Financial Information*

Consolidated Financial Statements

The Companys consolidated financial statements are set out
under Item 18.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to claims and lawsuits in the normal
course of business, which are being contested. In the opinion of management, the
outcome of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material effect on the
Companys financial results and position, and accordingly, no amounts have been
recorded as at July 31, 2012.

Dividend Record and Policy

The Company has never paid any dividend on its Common Shares.
The Companys present policy is to retain any earnings to finance future growth.
Dividends on the Common Shares paid to non-residents of Canada would generally
be subject to withholding tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) at the
rate of 25%. Such rate may be subject to reduction under the provisions of a tax
treaty between Canada and the country in which the recipient is resident. The
Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980) (the "Convention") provides for a
general reduction in the rate of withholding tax to 15% on dividends paid on
shares of a Company resident in Canada (such as the Company) to a resident of
the United States, and also provides for a further reduction to 5% where the
beneficial owner of the dividend is a Company, resident in the United States, which owns at least 10% of the
voting shares of the Company paying the dividend.

B.Significant Changes

Subsequent to July 31, 2012, the Company had the following
significant events:

During the year, the Company had to
delay the filing of its interim financial report and related managements
discussion and analysis for the interim period ended April 30, 2012 beyond the
filing deadline of June 29, 2012 due to the departure of the Chief Financial
Officer in early June 2012.

The Company was then advised by the
Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the AMF) that, in accordance with the
guidelines set out in Policy Statement 12-203 respecting Cease Trade Orders for
Continuous Disclosure Defaults, it had issued a cease trade order that prohibits
all trading of the securities of the Company. The cease trade order was lifted
by the AMF in October 2012.

B.Plan of Distribution

Not applicable.

C.Markets

The Companys Common Shares have been traded in the United
States on the OTCBB since August 9, 2005, under the symbol "SNDTF". Before
August 9, 2005, the Companys Common Shares were listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market System.

In 2008, the management of SAND had learned that its Common
Shares had been listed for trading on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange (the
"Berlin Exchange") under the symbol "SD1A", without the Companys prior
knowledge, consent or authorization. Any authorized broker may list a company on
the Berling Exchange by filing an application with the administration of the
exchange for a permit to trade a companys stock already listed on and regulated
by other markets. SAND does not anticipate that this will materially affect the
price of its Common Shares.

On January 30, 2008, SAND applied to the Autorité des
marchés financiers (the "AMF"), the securities regulatory authority in the
Province of Québec in Canada to become reporting issuer in the Province of
Québec in order to allow its securities to be freely tradeable in the province
(subject to applicable resale restriction periods). On April 15, 2008, the
application was granted and SAND became a reporting issuer in the Province of
Québec and is now subject to the disclosure requirements of the AMF.

ITEM 10.     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A.Share Capital

Not applicable.

B.Memorandum and Articles of Association

SAND was incorporated on December 10, 1982 under the provisions
of the CBCA. The articles of the Company place no restrictions upon the
Companys objects and purposes.

Directors Powers

Pursuant to the articles and the by-laws of the Company and the
requirements of the CBCA, the Board of Directors must consist of not fewer than
three (3) and not more than eleven (11) directors. A majority of the number of
directors appointed constitutes a quorum at any meeting of directors, provided,
however, that no business may be transacted at a meeting of directors unless at
least one-quarter of the directors present are resident Canadians. The duty of
the directors is to manage or supervise the management of the business of the
Company.

There is no provision in the by-laws that imposes a requirement
in respect of a directors power to vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract
in which the director is materially interested. The CBCA provides that a
director must disclose to the Company, in writing or by requesting to have it
entered in the minutes of meetings of directors or of meetings of committees of
directors, the nature and extent of any interest that he or she has in a
material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, with the
Company, if the director (a) is a party to the contract or transaction; (b) is a
director, or an individual acting in a similar capacity of a party to the
contract or transaction; or (c) has a material interest in a party to the
contract or transaction.

The by-laws of the Company state that the directors may fix the
remuneration of the directors and that the directors shall be paid such
remuneration for their services as the board may from time to time determine.
The directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for travel and other expenses
properly incurred by them in attending meetings of the board or any committee of
the Board of Directors. Nothing in the by-laws precludes any director from
serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving remuneration for such
services.

The articles of the Company state that without limiting the
borrowing powers of the Company as set forth in the CBCA, the board may from
time to time on behalf of the Company without authorization of the shareholders
(a) borrow money upon the credit of the Company; (b) issue, reissue, sell or
pledge debt obligations of the Company; (c) to the extent permitted by the CBCA,
give a guarantee on behalf of the Company to secure performance of an obligation
of any person; and (d) mortgage, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise create a
security interest in all or any property of the Company owned or subsequently
acquired to secure any obligation of the Company.

The directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any
by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of the Company. Any resolution
making, amending or repealing any by-laws of the Company must be submitted to
the next following shareholders meeting for ratification by the shareholders who
may by ordinary resolution confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or
repeal.

The powers of the directors set forth in the articles of the
Company may be amended by special resolution. A special resolution is a
resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by shareholders of the Company who being entitled to
do so, vote in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Company. Under the CBCA, an ordinary resolution of
shareholders requires approval by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy.

Election and Qualifications of Directors

The directors of the Company stand for election at the annual
meeting of shareholders and there are no staggered terms. There is no cumulative
voting for directors of the Company. There is no provision in the articles or
by-laws that imposes a requirement for retirement or non-retirement of
directors.

There is no provision in the Companys articles or by-laws that
a director be required to hold a share in the capital of the Company as a
qualification for his office, but he must be qualified to become or act as a
director as required by the CBCA. The CBCA provides that no person is qualified
to act as a director if that person is less than 18 years of age; is a person
who has been found to be a person of unsound mind by a court in Canada; a person
who is not an individual; or is a person who has the status of bankrupt.

The CBCA provides that a director of a Company may be removed
if the shareholders by ordinary resolution at a special meeting vote to remove a
director or directors from office.

Meetings

The CBCA provides that the Company must call an annual meeting
of its shareholders not later than 15 months after holding the last preceding
annual meeting but no later than 6 months after the end of the Companys
preceding financial year. The Company must give notice of any meeting to its
shareholders entitled to receive notice not more than 60 days prior to and not
less than 21 days before the date of meeting. The CBCA requires the directors of
a company to provide with the notice of a general meeting a form of proxy for
use by every member entitled to vote at such meeting as well as an information
circular containing prescribed information regarding the matters to be dealt
with and the conduct of the meeting.

Under the CBCA, the directors of the Company may call a meeting
of shareholders and one or more shareholders holding not less than 5% of the
issued voting shares of the Company may give notice to the directors requiring
them to call and hold a meeting.

Limitations on Ownership of Securities

Except as described below under "Exchange Controls", there are
no limitations on the right to own securities imposed by foreign law to the
Companys knowledge or by the articles of the Company.

Change in Control of Company

There are no provisions in the Companys articles or by-laws
that would have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in
control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger,
acquisition or corporate restructuring of the Company or its subsidiaries.

Ownership Threshold

There are no provisions in the articles or by-laws governing
the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

| |  | Dissolution: In the event of the dissolution,
      liquidation or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or
      involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of the Company among its
      shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, subject to the
      prior rights of the holders of the Class B Shares and any other shares
      ranking senior to the Class A Common Shares with respect to priority in
      the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or
      distribution for the purpose of winding-up, the holders of the Class A

| |  | Directors Authority to Issue in One or More
      Series: The Board of Directors of the Company may issue the Class B
      Shares at any time and from time to time in one or more series. Before the
      first shares of a particular series are issued, the Board of Directors of
      the Company must fix the limited or unlimited number of shares in such
      series and must determine, subject to the limitations set out in the
      articles, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions
      to be attached to the shares of such series including, without limitation,
      the rate or rates, amount or method or methods of calculation of dividends
      thereon, the time and place of payment of dividends, whether cumulative or
      non-cumulative or partially cumulative and whether such rate, amount or
      method of calculation shall be subject to change or adjustment
      in the future, the currency or currencies of payment of dividends, the
      consideration and the terms and conditions of any purchase for
      cancellation, retraction or redemption rights (if any) (but in no event
      shall the voting rights attributable to a Class B Share exceed those
      attributable to a Class A Common Share), the conversion or exchange
      rights attached thereto (if any), the voting rights attached thereto (if
      any), and the terms and conditions of any share purchase plan or sinking
      fund with respect thereto. Before the issue of the first shares of a
      series, the Board of Directors of the Company shall send to the Director
      (as defined in the CBCA) articles of amendment containing a description of
      such series including the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions
      and conditions determined by the Board of Directors of the
  Company.

| |  | Ranking of Class B Shares: No rights, privileges,
      restrictions or conditions attached to a series of Class B Shares may
      confer upon a series a priority in respect of dividends or return of
      capital over any other series of Class B Shares then outstanding. The
      Class B Shares are entitled to priority over the Common Shares of the
      Company and over any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the
      Class B Shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends and
      the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or
      winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other
      distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the
      purpose of winding-up its affairs. If any cumulative dividends or amounts
      payable on a return of capital in respect of a series of Class B Shares
      are not paid in full, the Class B Shares of all series must participate
      rateably in respect of such dividends, including accumulations, if any, in
      accordance with the sums that would be payable on such shares if all such
      dividends were declared and paid in full, and in respect of any repayment
      of capital in accordance with the sums that would be payable on such
      repayment of capital if all sums so payable were paid in full; provided
      however, that in the event of there being insufficient assets to satisfy
      in full all such claims to dividends and return of capital, the claims of
      the holders of the Class B Shares with respect to repayment of capital
      must first be paid and satisfied and any assets remaining thereafter must
      be applied towards the payment and satisfaction of claims in respect of
      dividends. The Class B Shares of any series may also be given such other
      preferences over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking
      junior to the Class B Shares as may be determined in the case of such
      series of Class B Shares.

Any approval of the holders of Class B, Series A Shares with
respect to the modification of the rights, privileges, restrictions and
conditions attached to the Class B, Series A Shares or to any other matter
requiring the consent of the holders of the Class B, Series A Shares shall be
given in such manner as may then be required by law, subject to a minimum
requirement that such approval be given by resolution passed by the affirmative
vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Class B, Series
A Shares who voted in respect of that resolution at a meeting of the holders of
the Class B, Series A Shares duly called for that purpose at which the holders
of at least fifty per cent (50%) of the outstanding Class B, Series A Shares are
present in person or represented by proxy, or, if such quorum is not present at
such meeting, at an adjournment thereof at which the holders of twenty-five per
cent (25%) Class B, Series A Shares then present in person or represented by
proxy shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. The formalities to be observed
with respect to proxies, the giving of notice and the conduct of any such
meeting or any adjourned meeting shall be those from time to time prescribed by
the articles and by-laws of the Company or otherwise prescribed by law with
respect to meetings of shareholders. On every poll taken at every meeting of
holders of Class B, Series A Shares, each holder entitled to vote thereat shall
be entitled to one vote for each Class B, Series A Share held by such holder.

Conversion Rights

The holders of the Class B, Series A Shares shall have the
right at any time to convert the Class B, Series A Shares into a number of Class
A Common Shares of the Company equal to the amount received by the Company
upon the initial issue of each Class B, Series A Share plus all accrued and
unpaid cumulative dividends divided by the conversion price of $0.40 per Class
B, Series A Share (the "Conversion Price").

The conversion privilege herein provided for may be exercised
by notice in writing given to the Company at its registered office, accompanied
by the certificate or certificates representing the Class B, Series A Shares in
respect of which the holder thereof desires to exercise such right of
conversion. Such notice shall be signed by such holder or his duly authorized
attorney and shall specify the number of Class B, Series A Shares which the
holder desires to have converted. If less than all the Class B, Series A Shares
represented by a certificate or certificates accompanying any such notice are to
be converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the
Company, a new certificate representing the number of Class B, Series A Shares
comprised in the certificate or certificates surrendered as aforesaid which are
not to be converted.

On any conversion of Class B, Series A Shares the share
certificates for Common Shares of the Company resulting therefrom shall be
issued in the name of the registered holder of the Class B, Series A Shares
converted or in such name or names as such registered holder may direct in
writing, provided that such registered holder shall pay any applicable security
transfer taxes. In either instance the transfer form on the back of the
certificates in question shall be endorsed by the registered holder of the Class
B, Series A Shares or his duly authorized attorney, with signature guaranteed in
a manner satisfactory to the Company, provided that the Company may waive the
requirement for any such guarantee.

In the event that the Company issues Class A Common Shares,
Class B Shares or other securities at a price which is less than the then
current conversion price of the Class B, Series A Shares, the conversion price
of the Class B, Series A Shares shall be reduced to the price at which the Class
A Common Shares, Class B Shares or other securities are issued. The following
issuances of securities shall not bring about the foregoing reduction in the
conversion price: (i) securities issued upon the conversion of any Class B,
Series A Shares; (ii) securities issued upon the conversion of any debenture,
warrant, option or other convertible security; and (iii) Class A Common Shares
of the Company (or options or rights or purchase such Class A Common Shares) issued or issuable to
employees, directors, officers or consultants pursuant a plan approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company.

  Company agreed to not, and to ensure that its affiliates do not, engage in
  certain activities competitive with the business sold under the Asset Purchase
  Agreement for a period of two years after the date of the Restricted Covenants
  Agreement. The Company collected an additional US$3,000,000 during the year

D.Exchange Controls

Other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act
(Canada) (the "Investment Act"), there are currently no limitations imposed by
Canadian laws, decrees or regulations that restrict the import or export of
capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of
dividends to non-resident holders of the Companys securities. However, any such
remittances of dividends paid to United States residents are subject to
withholding tax at a rate equal to a maximum of 15% of the amount paid (see
Section E  Taxation under Item 10  Additional Information).

The following discussion summarises the material features of
the Investment Act, in its present form, for a non-resident of Canada who
proposes to acquire Common Shares of the Company. The Investment Act regulates
the acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian as defined
under the Investment Act. With respect to the Company, an acquisition of control
is considered to be the acquisition of the majority of its Common Shares.
However, if a non-Canadian acquires more than one-third of the voting shares of
the Company, but less than a majority, there is a presumed acquisition of
control unless it can be established that the Company is not controlled in fact
by the acquirer. All acquisitions of control of a Canadian business are
notifiable (which requires that a notification form be submitted to Investment
Canada within thirty days after the implementation of the investment) unless the
investment is reviewable. If the investment is reviewable, the investment may
not be implemented until the Minister responsible for the Investment Act is, or
has been deemed to be, satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net
benefit to Canada.

Where either the acquirer is, or the Company is presently
controlled by, a WTO investor (as that term is defined in the Investment Act), a
direct acquisition of control of the Company will only be reviewable if the
value of the Companys assets, as shown on its audited financial statements for
the most recently completed fiscal year, is equal to or greater than $223
million. This amount varies each year based on the rate of growth in Canadian
gross domestic product. Other direct acquisitions of control are reviewable if
the value of the assets of the Company, as calculated above, is equal to or
greater than $5 million. The $5 million threshold for review also applies with
respect to the acquisition of control of any Canadian business that provides any
financial services or transportation services, is a cultural business, or is
engaged in the production of uranium and owns an interest in or producing
uranium property in Canada.

Indirect acquisitions of control (acquisitions of control of an
entity which in turn controls the Company) are not reviewable under the
Investment Act if the acquirer is a WTO investor or if the Company is controlled
by a WTO investor. Otherwise, an indirect acquisition will be reviewable if the
value of the Companys assets is $50 million or more, or if the value of the
Companys assets acquired in the total transaction are in Canada or the
acquisition is not effected through the acquisition of control of a foreign
Company.

Certain types of transactions are exempt from application of
the Investment Act including acquisitions of control of the Company:

| | a) | by the acquisition of voting shares or the voting
      interests by any person in the ordinary course of that persons business
      as a trader or dealer in securities;                        
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                    
| | b) | in connection with the realization of security granted
      for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related
      to the Investment Act;                                 
| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                    
| | c) | for facilitating its financing and not for any purpose
      related to the Investment Act on the condition that the acquirer divest
      control within two years after control was acquired;
and

- 58 -

---

| | d) | by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or
      corporate reorganization following which the ultimate or indirect control
      in fact of the Company through the ownership of voting interests remains
      unchanged.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are currently no limitations on the right of foreign or
non-resident owners of Common Shares to hold or vote such securities imposed by
Canadian law or the Companys charter or other constituent documents.

E.Taxation

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

The discussion under this heading summarises the material
Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of
Common Shares of the Company for a shareholder of the Company who is not
resident in Canada but is resident in the United States who benefits from the
provisions of the Convention and who will acquire and hold Common Shares of the
Company as capital property for the purpose of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) (the "Tax Act"). This summary does not apply to a shareholder who
carries on business in Canada through a "permanent establishment" situated in
Canada or who has a fixed tax base regularly available to him through which he
or she performs independent personal services in Canada if the shareholders
holding in the Company is effectively connected with such permanent
establishment or fixed base. This summary is based on the provisions of the Tax
Act and the regulations thereunder and on the Companys understanding of the
administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency and takes into account all
specific proposals to amend the Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of
Finance of Canada to November 28, 2012. It has been assumed that there will be
no other relevant amendment of any governing law although no assurance can be
given in this respect. This discussion is general only and is not a substitute
for independent advice from a shareholders own Canadian and U.S. tax advisors.

The provisions of the Tax Act are subject to income tax
treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Convention and the Protocols
to the Convention.

Dividends on Common Shares

Under the Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally
subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on dividends paid or
deemed to have been paid to him by a Company resident in Canada. The Convention
limits the rate to 15% if the shareholder is resident in the United States and
the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to him, and to 5% if the
shareholder is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting
shares of the payer company. The Convention generally exempts from Canadian
income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or
charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated
exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or
plan, if the organization is resident in the United States and is exempt from
income tax under the laws of the United States.

Disposition of Common Shares

Under the Tax Act, a taxpayers capital gain or capital loss
from a disposition of Common Shares of the Company is the amount, if any, by
which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the
aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of
disposition. One-half of a capital gain (the "taxable capital gain") is included
in income, and one-half of a capital loss in a year (the "allowable capital
loss") is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year. The
amount by which a shareholders allowable capital loss exceeds the taxable
capital gain in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the
shareholder in the year or in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject
to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.

- 59 -

---

In the case of a shareholder that is a company, the amount of
any capital loss otherwise determined may be reduced, in certain circumstances,
by the amount of dividends previously received in respect of the shares disposed
of, unless the company owned the shares for at least 365 days prior to
sustaining the loss and (together with companies, persons and other entities
with whom the company was not dealing at arms length) did not, at the time the
dividends were received, own more than 5% of the shares of any class of the
capital stock of the company from which the dividend was received. These loss
limitation rules may also apply where a company is a member of a partnership or
a beneficiary of a trust that owned the shares disposed of.

A non-resident of Canada is not subject to tax under the Tax
Act in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of shares unless
the shares represent "taxable Canadian property". Common shares of the Company
will not generally constitute taxable Canadian property. Common shares of the
Company will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a
particular time if the shareholder used or held the shares in carrying on a
business in Canada, or if more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares
was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of:

| | a) | Real or immovable property in Canada                           
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------
| | b) | Canadian resource properties                                   
| | c) | Timber resource properties; and                                
| | d) | Options in respect of any property described in a) to
      c).

Where a United States resident realises a capital gain on a
disposition of shares that constitute "taxable Canadian property", the
Convention relieves the United States resident from liability for Canadian tax
on such capital gains unless:

| | a) | the value of the shares is derived principally from "real
      property" in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural
      resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to
  production,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
| | b) | the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months
      during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding the disposition, was
      resident in Canada at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding
      the disposition, the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be
      resident in Canada and the shares were not property that the shareholders
      was treated as having alienated by reason of ceasing to be a resident of
      Canada, or
| |    |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
| | c) | the shares formed part of the business property of a
      "permanent establishment" that the shareholder has or had in Canada within
      the 12 months preceding the disposition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Notwithstanding the potential exemption from Canadian tax
provided under the Convention, where a nonresident of Canada disposes of Common
Shares of the Company that are "taxable Canadian property", the non-resident is
required to file a Canadian income tax return in respect of any such
dispositions.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarises the material United States
federal income tax consequences to certain U.S. Holders (as defined below) of
the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Companys Common Shares. This
discussion assumes such holders hold the Common Shares as capital assets for
United States Federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not address
consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of federal income tax
law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial
institutions, life insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated
investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign
companies, shareholders actually or constructively owning Common Shares
representing 10% of the vote and value of the Company, a person that holds
shares as part of a straddle or hedging or conversion transaction, or a person
liable for alternative minimum tax. In addition, this discussion does not
address any state, local or foreign tax consequences.

- 60 -

---

The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), final, temporary and proposed Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that
are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely
changed, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this discussion does not
consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial of recently proposed
legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive
basis, at any time. The following discussion is for general information only and
is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to
any holder or prospective holder of the Companys Common Shares and no opinion
or representation with respect to the United States federal income tax
consequences, to any such holder or prospective holders is made. Accordingly,
holders and prospective holders of the Companys Common Shares should consult
their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local foreign tax consequences
of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of Common Shares of the Company.

U.S. Holders

As used in this Report, the term "U.S. Holder" means a
beneficial owner of Common Shares that is (i) a citizen or resident individual
of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organised
under the laws of the United States, or any political subdivision thereof, (iii)
an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax
regardless of source, or (iv) a trust subject to the primary supervision of a
United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Distributions on Common Shares

Dividends (without reduction for Canadian income tax withheld)
paid to a no corporate U.S. Holder in taxable years beginning before January 1,
2011 that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to such holder at
a maximum tax rate of 15% provided that the non corporate U.S. Holder holds
shares for more than 60 days during the 121 day period beginning 60 days before
the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements. A U.S. Holder
must include the dividend in its taxable income when the holder receives the
dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the
dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect
of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. The amount of the dividend
distribution that a U.S. Holder must include in its income will be the U.S.
dollar value of the payments made, determined at the spot rate on the date of
the dividend distribution, regardless of whether the payment is in fact
converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency
exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the U.S. Holder includes
the dividend payment in income to the date it converts the payment into U.S.
dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for
the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss
generally will be income or loss from sources within the U.S. for foreign tax
credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated
earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will
be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of U.S. Holders
basis in the shares and thereafter as capital gain.

- 61 -

---

Subject to certain limitations, the Canadian tax withheld will
be creditable against a U.S. Holders United States federal income tax
liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation
with respect to dividends that are subject to the maximum 15% tax rate. To the
extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to a U.S. Holder, the amount of
tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against the U.S.
Holder United States federal income tax liability.

Disposition of Common Shares

A U.S. Holder will recognize United States source gain or loss
upon the sale of Common Shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the
amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the
shareholders tax basis in the Common Shares. This gain or loss will be capital
gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. Holder,
and such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder
has held the Common Shares for more than one year. Gains and losses are netted
and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain
or loss for a particular tax year. Deductions for net capital losses are subject
to significant limitations.

Other Considerations

In the following circumstance, the above discussion may not
describe the United States federal income tax consequences resulting from the
holding and disposition of the Companys Common Shares:

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Special rules are applicable to U.S. Holders owning shares in a
passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC"). A foreign company will be
classified as a PFIC if at least 75% of its gross income for the taxable year is
passive income or if the value of assets held by it during the taxable year
which produce passive income represents at least 50% of the value of its assets.
In determining whether a foreign company is a PFIC, if the foreign company owns
25% or more (by value) of the stock of another company, the foreign company is
treated as if it (i) held its proportionate share of the assets of such other
company, and (ii) received directly its proportionate share of the income of
such other company.

Based on the nature of the income, assets and activities of the
Company, it is not certain whether the Company could be classified as a PFIC for
any taxable year. While the Company believes that it presently not a PFIC there
can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully
challenge our position or that we will not become a PFIC in a future taxable
year, as PFIC status is tested each year and depends on our assets and income in
such year.

If the Company was treated as a PFIC at any time during a U.S.
Holders holding period for the Common Shares, such U.S. Holder might be subject
to additional tax as well as certain interest charges in respect of the deferral
of tax for the period during which such Common Shares were held. Any such
additional tax and interest charges would apply to the disposition of the Common
Shares or the receipt of certain dividends that are considered "excess
distributions" under the Code. Additionally, any gain realized on the
disposition of such Common Shares would be treated as ordinary income rather
than as capital gain and the tax basis of the Common Shares held by a U.S.
Holder generally would not be stepped up to fair market value at death. U.S.
Holders and prospective holders of Common Shares should consult their own tax
advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to the Company.

New Reporting Requirements

U.S. federal income tax legislation enacted in 2010 generally
requires a U.S. individual to report to the IRS certain interests owned by such
individual in stock or securities issued by a non-U.S. person (such as our Class A Common Shares) if the aggregate value of all such
interests exceeds U.S.$50,000. The failure to report the information required
under this legislation could result in substantial penalties. U.S Holders should
consult their tax advisors with respect to their obligations under this new
legislation.

- 62 -

---

Backup Withholding

Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to backup
withholding at a rate of 28% on taxable distributions with respect to the Common
Shares and the proceeds of a disposition of the Common Shares. Backup
withholding will apply only if the U.S. Holder (i) fails to furnish its Taxpayer
Identification Number ("TIN") which, in the case of an individual, would be his
or her social security number, (ii) furnishes an incorrect TIN, (iii) is
notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest
or dividends or (iv) under certain circumstances, fails to certify, under the
penalty of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and has not been
notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding. Under newly issued
U.S. Treasury regulations, in the case of interest paid after December 31, 1999,
a U.S. Holder generally will be subject to backup withholding at a 28% rate
unless certain IRS certification procedures are complied with, directly or
through an intermediary. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors
regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the
procedure for obtaining such an exemption if applicable.

F.Dividends and paying agents

Not applicable.

G.Statements by experts

Not applicable.

H.Documents on Display

The Company is subject to certain of the information
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), and in accordance therewith, files reports and other information with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a foreign private
issuer, the Company is exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing
the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and
principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit
recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign
private issuer, the Company is not required to publish financial statements as
frequently or as promptly as United States companies.

We file annual reports and other information with the SEC. You
may read and copy any of these documents at the SECs Public Reference Room at
Judiciary Plaza, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain
information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
(800) SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy
and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.

Any shareholder may also inspect any of the documents or
Exhibits referred to in this Report or any other disclosure by making a request
to the Company in writing.

I.Subsidiary Information

Information relating to the Companys subsidiaries is described
in  Information on the Company  particularly under "Organizational Structure"
in Item 4 and in "Exhibit 8.1" to this Annual Report on Form 20-F/A.

ITEM 11.     QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to credit risk as a result of our cash and
accounts receivable balance. We minimize this risk by placing our cash with
major banks that are considered to be at low risk of loss and we sell software
licenses, maintenance and consulting with short credit terms. On a regular
basis, we also monitor the financial condition of our customers.

We are subject to currency risk as we are an international
company. Since we currently earn revenues and incur expenses in United States
dollars, British pounds, Euros and Canadian dollars, exchange rates for these
and other local currencies in countries where we may operate in the future may
fluctuate in relation to the Canadian dollar and such fluctuations may have an
adverse effect on our earnings or assets when United States dollars, British
pounds, Euros or local currencies are exchanged for Canadian dollars. We have
not entered into forward foreign exchange contracts. Losses and gains resulting
from the translation of revenue and expenses denominated in United States
dollars, British pounds, or Euros into Canadian dollars have been included in
our results of operations. We minimize this risk by paying the expenditures
incurred in the local operations using the monies received in the local
currency.

We are subject to liquidity risk, the risk that we may not be
able to meet our financial obligations as they fall due. We manage this risk by
regularly evaluating the liquid resources available to fund the current and
long-term obligations in a cost-effective manner using budgets and cash flow
estimates.

We are not subject to fluctuations in cash flow due to interest
rate risk, as a majority of the companys debt is at fixed rates.

Please see Note 17 in the audited consolidated financial
statements for more details on each of the risks above.

ITEM 15.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of July 31, 2012, an evaluation was carried out, under the
supervision of and with the participation of management, including a Director
performing the functions similar to those performed by the Chief Executive
Officer ("CEO") and a another Director performing the functions similar to those
performed by the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined in National Instrument
52-109 -Certification of Disclosure in Issuers Annual and Interim
Filing and in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our Directors performing the
functions similar to those performed by the CEO and the CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management, including its CEO and CFO, or persons performing similar functions,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

B.Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting

During fiscal 2012, following the resignation of two Directors,
the announcement of a restructuring and the departure of Senior management
including the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial
Officer and the Vice-president of Research and Development, the Board of
Directors retained the services of a strategic advisor and a financial
consultant to assist them in fulfilling the responsibilities normally associated
with these positions.

Our Directors performing the functions similar to those
performed by the CEO and the CFO are responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for
external purposes in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining
records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and disposition of our assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing
reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company are made in
accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance
that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could
have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance
that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

Our Directors performing the functions similar to those
performed by the CEO and the CFO, assisted by their consultants, conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
based on the framework inInternal Control - Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on this evaluation, they concluded that the Companys internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2012.

The changes made to our internal controls over financial
reporting during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 have not materially
affected, or are not reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
controls over financial reporting.

Independent Auditors
  Report

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLPSuite 2000National Bank Tower600 De La Gauchetière Street WestMontréal, Québec H3B 4L8To the Shareholders ofSAND Technology Inc.
      Telephone: 514-878-2691Fax: 514-878-2127www.rcgt.com


We have audited the accompanying
  consolidated financial statements of SAND Technology Inc. which comprise the
  consolidated balance sheets as at July 31, 2012, and 2011 and August 1, 2010,
  and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements
  of changes in shareholders equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for
  the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, and a summary of significant accounting
  policies and other explanatory information.

Managements responsibility for the
  consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the
  preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in
  accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
  International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as
  management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated
  financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
  fraud or error.

Auditors responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an
  opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We
  conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing
  standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
  (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical
  requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
  whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
  misstatement.

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

2

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated
  financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
  position of SAND Technology Inc. as at July 31, 2012, and 2011 and August 1,
  2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended July
  31, 2012 and 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
  as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw
  attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicate
  that the Company has continuing losses and negative cash flows from operations.
  Accordingly, there exists a material uncertainty that cast significant doubt
  about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.

Other matter

SAND Technology Inc. is not required
  to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits 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 SAND Technology Inc.s internal control over financial
  reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

SAND Technology Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJuly 31, 2012 and 2011(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise
      stated)

1 -NATURE AND GENERAL BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

SAND Technology Inc. is the ultimate
  parent company. It is domiciled in Canada and is a federally incorporated
  company under the Canada Business Corporations Act. SAND Technology Inc.
  maintains its registered office at 4115 Sherbrooke St. West, Westmount, Quebec,
  Canada, and is a publicly-traded company listed on the Over-the-Counter (OTC)
  Bulletin Board in the United States under the symbol SNDTF. Its fiscal year
  end is July 31.

SAND Technology Inc. and its
  wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the Company) are involved in the
  design, development, marketing and support of software products and services
  that reduce large amounts of data into a small footprint and enable users to
  retrieve usable business information from large amounts of data.

2 -GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements
  have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of
  presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the
  foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its
  liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

With the exception of the gain in the
  amount $8,571,967 realized from the sale of its SAP Information Lifecycle
  Management (ILM) Product Line, the Company has incurred operating losses in the
  past years and has accumulated a deficit of $42,130,308 as at July 31, 2012. The
  Company has also generated negative cash flows from operations. Historically,
  the Company financed its operating and capital requirements mainly through
  issuances of debt and equity. The Companys continuation as a going concern is
  dependent upon, amongst other things, attaining a satisfactory revenue level,
  the support of its customers, a return to profitable operations and the
  generation of cash from operations, the ability to secure new financing
  arrangements and new capital. These matters are dependent on a number of items
  outside of the Companys control. These material uncertainties cast significant
  doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern..

During the year ended July 31, 2012,
  the Company addressed some of the uncertainties described above by the following
  transactions:

| | 1. | It successfully sold its SAP ILM Product Line and
      realized a gain of $8,571,967;                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | 2. | It reimbursed the due to shareholders in the amount of
      $1,914,837;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
| | 3. | The Companys board of directors and management team
      initiated a review of the business, including consideration of all
      available strategic options, with the objective of maximizing value for
      shareholders.                                                                               
| | 4. | The Company reduced its workforce eliminating 20
      positions in Canada, the United Kingdom, the U.S., Australia and Germany
      in an effort to contain costs. This initiative allows the Company to
      further preserve capital while maintaining a core team to support the
      ongoing business;

The Company can give no assurance that
  it will achieve profitability or be capable of sustaining profitable operations.
  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
  to the recoverability and classification of the carrying amounts of assets or
  the amount and classification of liabilities that might result if the Company is
  unable to continue as a going concern.

|   | The consolidated financial statements present the
      Companys consolidated balance sheets as at July 31, 2012, July 31, 2011
      and August 1, 2010, as well as its consolidated income, comprehensive
      income, cash flows, and changes in shareholders equity for the years
      ended July 31, 2012 and 2011. Until July 31, 2011, the Companys
      consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with
      Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that applied
      prior to the conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards
      (IFRS). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management
      applied IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
      Standards and amended certain recognition and measurement methods to
      comply with IFRS. The consolidated financial statements of the Company
      have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The comparative figures for
      2011 were restated to reflect these adjustments. Certain reconciliations
      and descriptions of the effect of the transition from Canadian GAAP to
      IFRS on shareholders equity, comprehensive income and cash flows have
      been provided in Note 25.

|   | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
      in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates
      and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the
      reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Significant
      changes in the underlying assumptions could result in significant changes
      to these estimates. Consequently, management reviews these estimates on a
      regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the
      period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods
      affected. Information about these significant judgments, assumptions and
      estimates that have the most significant effect on the recognition and
      measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are summarized
      below:

|   | At the end of each reporting period the Company performs
      a test of impairment, if there are indicators of impairment. An impairment
      loss is recognized when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating
      unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which in turn is the higher of its
      fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The value in use is
      based on discounted estimated future cash flows. The cash flows are
      derived from the budget or forecasts for the next five years and do not
      include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to
      or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the
      asset or cash generating unit being tested. The value in use will vary
      depending on the discount rate applied to the discounted cash flows, the
      estimated future cash inflows, and the growth rate used for extrapolation
      purposes.

Deferred income taxesDeferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and tax credits
  to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against
  which the losses can be utilized. These estimates are reviewed at every
  reporting date. Significant management judgment is required to determine the
  amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely
  timing and the level of the reversal of existing timing differences, future
  taxable income and future tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 19 for more
  information regarding the income tax provisions.

Fair value measurement of financial
  instrumentsWhere the fair value of financial assets and financial
  liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets,
  they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash
  flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where
  possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in
  establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as
  liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these
  factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer to
  23 for more information regarding the fair value measurement of financial
  instruments.

LeasesIn applying the
  classification of leases in IAS 17, Leases,management considers its
  leases of buildings and equipment as operating leases. In some cases, the lease
  transaction is not always conclusive, and management uses judgement in
  determining whether the lease is a finance lease agreement that transfers
  substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

Allowance for doubtful accounts and
  revenue adjustmentsEach reporting period, the Company makes an
  assessment of whether accounts receivable are collectible from customers.
  Accordingly, management establishes an allowance for estimated losses arising
  from non-payment and other revenue adjustments, taking into consideration
  customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and past experience. If
  future collections and trends differ from estimates, future earnings will be
  affected. Refer to Note 8 and Note 23 for more information regarding the
  allowance for doubtful accounts and the related credit risks.

Research and development tax creditsThe Companys management monitors whether the recognition requirements
  for research and development tax credits receivable continue to be met. The
  Company has made estimates of the recoverable amounts but research and
  development tax credits must be examined and approved by the tax authorities and
  the amount allowed may differ from the amount recorded.

Share-based paymentsThe
  estimation of share-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate
  valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation
  model chosen. The Company has made estimates as to the volatility of its own
  shares, the life of stock options and warrants granted and the time-period of
  exercise of those stock options and warrants. The model used by the Company is
  the Black-Scholes valuation model.

|   | Impairment of trade receivables is constantly monitored.
      Evidence of impairment may occur when the financial difficulties of a
      debtor become known or payment delays occur. Impairments are based on
      historical values, observed customer solvency, the aging of trade
      receivables and customer-specific and industry risks. In addition, the
      Company reviews external credit ratings as well as bank and trade
      references when available. As at July 31, 2012, July 31, 2011 and August

|   | Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated
      depreciation and provisions for write-downs. When the cost of a part of an
      item of capital assets is significant in relation to the total cost of an
      item and the items have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
      separate items (major components) of capital assets.

|   | Assets are tested for recoverability when events or
      changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be
      recoverable. Assets are assessed at the end of each reporting period to
      determine if any indication of impairment exists. If any such indication
      exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For the purpose of
      impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped
      together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows
      from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of
      other assets. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less
      costs to sell (FVLCS) and value in use (VIU). Recoverability is
      measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the higher of
      its FVLCS and its VIU. VIU is calculated using the estimated discounted
      future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The estimation
      and discounting of cash flows involves key assumptions that consider all
      information available on the respective testing date. Management uses its
      judgment, considering past and actual performance as well as expected
      developments in the respective markets and in the overall macro- economic
      environment and economic trends to model and discount future cash flows.
      The Company estimates FVLCS based upon current prices for similar assets.
      If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated recoverable
      amount, the difference is recognized as an impairment charge. Capital
      assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss
      previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment charge is
      reversed if the cash-generating units recoverable amount exceeds its
      carrying amount.

|   | Trade and other payables and accrued liabilities are
      obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the
      normal course of business. Trade and other payables and accrued
      liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within
      one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
      Accounts payables and accrued liabilities are recognized initially at fair
      value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost
      using the effective interest method.

|   | For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per
      share, the Company shall assume the exercise of dilutive stock options,
      warrants, debt conversion and interest expense paid in kind. The assumed
      proceeds from these instruments shall be regarded as having been received
      from the issue of common shares at the average market price of common

      per common share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per
      share.

|   | The Company uses the liability method of accounting for
      income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are
      recognized for the estimated 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 carryforwards. However, deferred tax is not provided on the
      initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset
      or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or
      affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
      measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates in effect for
      the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
      or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
      in tax rates is recognized as part of the provision for income taxes in
      the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax liabilities are
      always provided for in full. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the
      extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against
      future taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only
      when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets
      and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

|   | The component parts of compound financial instruments
      (convertible debenture) issued by the Company are usually classified
      separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the
      substance of the contractual arrangements. Usually, the conversion option
      that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash for a fixed
      number of the Companys own equity instruments is classified as an equity
      instrument. Since the instrument does not meet the fixed for fixed test,
      the conversion option is classified as a separate other financial
      liability.

      for similar non-convertible instruments. Subsequently, the debt component
      is measured at amortized cost.

|   | The value of the conversion option classified as other
      financial liability is determined at fair value at the date of issue. This
      amount is re-measured at every balance sheet date. When and if the
      conversion option is exercised, the liability component of convertible
      debentures will be transferred to share capital. If the conversion option
      remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible debenture, the
      liability component of the convertible debentures will be transferred to
      contributed surplus.

|   | The Companys functional and reporting currency is the
      Canadian dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the
      functional currency are converted into Canadian dollars using the exchange
      rate in effect at the date of the transaction or the average rate for the
      period in the case of recurring revenue and expense transactions. Monetary
      assets and liabilities are revalued into the functional currency at each
      balance sheet date using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet
      date, with any resulting exchange gains or losses being credited or
      charged to the profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are
      recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at
      the date of the transaction and are not revalued for subsequent changes in
      exchange rates.

|   | The Company generates revenues principally through the
      sale of software licences and services. Software licence revenues are
      normally generated from licensing the perpetual use of the Companys
      software products. Service revenues are generated from sales of
      maintenance, implementation, consulting and training services performed
      for customers that licence the Companys products.

|   | Revenue from the sale of software licence agreements is
      recognized upon delivery of the software if persuasive evidence of an
      arrangement exists, collection is probable and the fee is fixed or
      determinable. Sale of software is recognised when the Company has
      transferred to the buyer the significant risk and rewards of ownership of
      the good supplied. Significant risks and rewards are generally considered
      to be transferred to the buyer when the customer has taken undisputed
      delivery of the goods.

|   | The Company is entitled to scientific research and
      experimental development tax credits (research tax credits) granted by
      the Canadian federal government and the government of the province of
      Quebec. Federal research tax credits, which are non-refundable, are earned
      on qualified research and development expenditures and can only be used to
      offset federal income taxes otherwise payable. Provincial research tax
      credits, which are refundable, are earned on qualified research and
      development expenditures incurred in the province of Quebec. Research tax
      credits must be reviewed and approved by the tax authorities and it is
      possible that the amounts granted will differ from the amounts
      recorded.

|   | Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when
      the Company is committed demonstrably, without realistic possibility of
      withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan or through a contractual agreement,
      to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to
      provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage
      voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are
      recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer of voluntary
      redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number
      of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more
      than twelve months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to
      their present value.

|   | The Company has a share-based employee compensation plan
      that grants stock options to executive officers, directors, full-time
      employees and consultants. This plan is classified as an equity-settled
      plan. The fair value of the service is measured indirectly by reference to
      the fair value of the equity instruments granted as at the date of the
      grant. The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the options
      granted, and is recognized as an expense in earnings with a corresponding
      credit to contributed surplus. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of
      the grant and are included in the measurement of the expense and are
      subsequently adjusted to reflect actual events.

|   | At the end of each reporting period, the Company
      re-assesses its estimate of the number of stock options that are expected
      to vest and recognizes the impact of any revisions in earnings. No
      adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if the
      options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on

      obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present value,
      where the time value of money is material.

|   | Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
      when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
      financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by
      transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit
      or loss which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequent measurement
      of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below.
      Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash
      flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all
      substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is
      derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or
      expires.

|   | All financial assets except for those at fair value
      through profit or loss (FVTPL) are subject to review for impairment at
      least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective
      evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is
      impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each
      category of financial assets, which are described below. All income and
      expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or
      loss are presented within net finance expense, finance income or other
      financial items, except for the impairment of trade receivables which is
      presented within selling, general and administrative expenses.

|   | Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets
      with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
      market. After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost
      using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
      Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The
      Companys cash, trade and other receivables, except for sales tax
      receivable fall into this category of financial instruments.

    unless otherwise stated)

The levels of fair value hierarchy are
  as follows:

| |  | Level one  Unadjusted quoted
      market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;                                                                                               
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | Level two  Inputs other than
      level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and                                                                                            
| |  | Level three  Unobservable inputs developed using
      estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and
      reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

      been issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning
      January 1, 2015. Further chapters dealing with impairment methodology and
      hedge accounting are still being developed. The Companys management have

      can comprehensively assess the impact of all

Consolidation StandardsA
  package of consolidation standards are effective for annual periods beginning or
  after January 1st, 2013. Information on these new standards is
  presented below. The Companys management have yet to assess the impact of these
  new and revised standards on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
  Statements (IFRS 10)
  IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate
  Financial Statements (IAS 27) and SIC 12 Consolidation  Special Purpose
  Entities. It revised the definition of control together with accompanying
  guidance to identify an interest in a subsidiary. However, the requirements and
  mechanics of consolidation and the accounting for any non-controlling interests
  and changes in control remain the same.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in
  Other Entities (IFRS 12)IFRS 12 integrates and makes consistent the
  disclosure requirements for various types of investments, including
  unconsolidated structured entities. It introduces new disclosure requirements
  about the risks to which an entity is exposed from its involvement with
  structured entities.

7  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 4, 2011, the Company
  completed the sale of its SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Product
  Line to a third party for a consideration of $8,439,200 (US$8,000,000). After
  deductions for earn-out milestones, customers consent holdback, an escrow
  amount relating to representations and warranties and other amounts, the Company
  received proceeds of $7,443,530 (US$7,200,000) during the year ended July 31,
  2012. The Company anticipates it will be able to meet all its obligations under
  the asset purchase agreement governing this transaction to collect the remaining
  amount due from the sale and an amount $790,320 (US$800,000) was recorded in
  other receivables.

As a result of this transaction, the
  Company recorded a gain of $8,571,967 taking into account the full proceeds from
  the sale that are expected to be recovered (including the transfer of deferred
  revenues and other working capital elements of $350,650), reduced by a small
  amount of capital assets transferred and legal and personnel expenses incurred
  of $217,883. The Company will not have any income taxes to pay on this
  transaction as it has sufficient income tax loss carryforwards from prior years
  to offset the gain.

As a result of the sale of its SAP
  Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) Product Line, the Company has presented,
  for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, the net earnings from this business

11 BRIDGE LOAN

On September 7, 2011, the Company
  completed a bridge loan with a group of investors. The bridge loan consisted of
  a loan of $1,000,000 to the Company in exchange for a promissory note of
  $1,000,000 and 500,000 warrants. The promissory note had a maturity date of
  November 30, 2011 with an interest rate of 15%. The interest on the promissory
  note was prepaid from the proceeds of the loan. Each of the 500,000 warrants
  issued allowed the investors to purchase 1 common share at a price of $0.50 per
  warrant. The warrants expire on September 7, 2014. The bridge loan was repaid in
  its entirety at the maturity date of November 30, 2011.

The Company allocated the proceeds from
  the bridge loan between the loan and the warrants according to their relative
  fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair
  value of the warrants. The fair value allocated to the loan was estimated at
  $779,679 and was recorded in current liabilities. The fair value allocated to
  the warrants was estimated at $220,321 and was recorded in contributed surplus.
  The fair value of the warrants at the time of the completion of the bridge loan
  was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
  assumptions:

| | Share price             | $0.58  
| | ----------------------- | -------
| | Dividend yield          | -      
| | Expected volatility     | 252%   
| | Risk free interest rate | 3.00%  
| | Expected life           | 3 years

Expected volatility was calculated
  using the average closing price change on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
  for 3 years prior to the issue date of the warrants.

| | (b) | During fiscal year 2009, the Company formalized the
      conditions pertaining to a loan obtained from a significant shareholder.
      The loan originated from amounts owed by the Company to the shareholder by
      virtue of his previous employment contracts as President and Chief
      Executive Officer. The significant shareholder ceased to be President and
      Chief Executive Officer on November 1, 2009. The total amount owing under
      the loan agreement as at November 1, 2009 was $1,466,677. Under the terms
      of the loan agreement, the loan is repayable in three (3) principal annual
      instalments of $488,892 over 3 years on January 1, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
      The loan bears interest at 15% that is payable semi-annually on January 1
      and June 30 of each year. The amount may be prepaid at any time by the
      Company without penalty. In the event of default to pay an amount when
      due, the significant shareholder shall have the right to convert all
      outstanding amounts owed to him hereunder into common shares of the
      Company based on the average closing price of the shares on the OTC
      Bulletin Board for the month immediately preceding the month in which such
      right is exercised. In addition and also upon
      default, the significant shareholder shall have
      the right to require the Company to purchase all common shares in the capital
      stock of the Company owned directly or indirectly by the significant shareholder
      at a purchase price per share equal to the greater of:

During fiscal year 2008, an
  inter-creditor priority agreement was signed between the former President and
  Chief Executive Officer and significant shareholder (loans disclosed under b),
  c) and d) above) and the holders of the secured convertible debentures
  (collectively the parties), at the time when the Company issued the secured
  convertible debentures described in Note 14. The parties agreed that the sums
  owing under the secured convertible debentures will be paid by the Company to
  the convertible debenture holders in priority to the sums owed by the Company to
  the principal shareholder. Specifically, for every $2 paid to the convertible
  debenture holders, the Company shall remit $1 to the significant shareholder,
  representing the repayment of principal only. Following the formalization of the
  loan received from the significant shareholder, including the scheduled
  repayment as described in Note 13b), the inter-creditor priority agreement was
  amended on October 31, 2009 pursuant to which the parties agreed that the sums
  owing under the convertible debentures will be paid by the Company to the
  holders of the convertible debentures pari passuto the sums owing by the
  Company to the significant shareholder such that for every $1 paid to the
  convertible debenture holders, the Company shall remit $1 to the significant
  shareholder.

Mr. ODonnell, former Chief Executive
  Officer of the Company, purchased in April 2008, 334 units of the convertible
  debentures issued at that time. Please refer to note 14  Convertible

14- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On April 18, 2008, the Company issued
  secured convertible debentures ("Convertible Debentures") on a private placement
  basis and received gross proceeds of $1,009,819 (US$1,002,600) representing a
  total of 1,114 units. Each unit consists of one 8% Convertible Debenture due
  December 31, 2017, having a nominal value of US$900, redeemable at the option of
  the Company if the bid price of the underlying common share has been above
  US$1.50 for 60 consecutive trading days, and convertible at the option of the
  holder into class "A" common shares at US$0.45 per share, and 1,000 share
  purchase warrants of the Company. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase
  one additional common share (Warrant Share) of the Company at a price of
  US$0.70 per warrant share at any time until the earlier of the close of business
  day which is thirty six (36) months from April 18, 2008 or the date on which the
  bid price of the stock has been above US$1.50 for sixty (60) consecutive trading
  days. Interest is calculated at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in common
  shares at a rate of US$0.45 per share. The interest is due on each conversion
  date (date when the principal amount is being converted) subsequent to January
  1, 2009 or on the maturity date. The financing is secured by a first rank
  hypothec on all of the Companys property and assets, movable and immovable,
  corporeal and incorporeal, present and future, for the principal accrued
  interest amounts. The proceeds from the private placement were used for
  marketing and advertising and for expansion of the business.

Certain warrant holders exercised their
  Warrant Shares associated with the secured convertible debentures prior to their
  expiry date of April 18, 2011. As a result of ratchet provisions contained in
  the warrant security, the exercise price was reduced from US$0.70 per Warrant
  Share to CDN $0.01 per Warrant Share. On May 5, 2011, the Company issued 780,000
  common shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants for proceeds of $6,879
  (US$7,800) while 334,000 warrants expired.

For accounting purposes, the debenture
  contains both a debt component and other financial liability component being the
  share warrants, the conversion option and the interest payable in shares. The
  Company allocated the proceeds from the convertible debenture between the debt
  component and the other financial liability according to their relative fair
  value:

| |  | The debt component of the Convertible Debentures was
      originally calculated at fair value. The effective interest rate
      determined at the time was 15% and the amount calculated at the issue date
      was $461,735. The carrying value of the debt is being accreted to its face
      value over its life to maturity. The accretion expense, being the
      amortization of the convertible debenture discount, is included in net
      finance expense in the statement of comprehensive income. The accretion
      expense recorded for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was $137,407
      and $49,640 respectively.

| |  | The other financial liabilities component of the
      Convertible Debenture was originally calculated at fair value.
      Subsequently, the other financial liabilities are revalued at fair value
      at every balance sheet date. The amount calculated at the issue date was
      $548,084. The change in fair value of the other financial liabilities
      component is recorded in net finance expense in the statement of
      comprehensive income.

      US$0.70 per Unit, resulting in the issuance of 785,715 Units. Each Unit
      consists of two class A common shares and one share purchase warrant
      (Warrant) of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
      one additional common share (Warrant Share) of the Company at a price of
      US$0.50 per Warrant Share at any time until the earlier of the close of
      business day which is either thirty six (36) months from the closing date,
      November 6, 2009, or the date on which the bid price of the stock has been
      above US$1.50 for sixty (60) consecutive trading days. On April 6, 2011
      the exercise price was reduced from US$0.50 per Warrant Share to CDN $0.01
      per Warrant Share. The Company received $429,495 (US$400,000) from private
      investors and $158,340 (US$150,000) from the Chief Executive Officer. The

|   | The Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of
      the Units between the common shares and the warrants according to their
      relative fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
      determine the fair value of the warrants. The fair value allocated to the
      common shares was estimated at $445,667 and was recorded in share capital.
      The fair value allocated to the warrants was estimated at $142,168 and was
      recorded in contributed surplus. The fair value of the warrants at the
      time of issue of the Private Placement was estimated using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
      assumptions:

      amount of $775,073 (US$750,000) for Units in the Company at a price of
      US$0.70 per Unit, resulting in the issuance of 1,071,432 Units. Each Unit
      consists of two class A common shares and one share purchase warrant
      (Warrant) of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
      one additional common share (Warrant Share) of the Company at a price of
      US$0.50 per Warrant Share at any time until the earlier of the close of
      business day which is either thirty six (36) months from the closing date,
      March 17, 2011, or the date on which the bid price of the stock has been
      above US$1.50 for sixty (60) consecutive trading days. The Company
      received $448,558 (US$425,000) from private investors and $326,515
      (US$325,000) from the Chief Executive Officer. The Private Placement
      resulted in the issuance of 2,142,864 common shares and 1,071,432 warrants
      of the Company.

|   | The Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of
      the Units between the common shares and the warrants according to their
      relative fair value, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
      determine the fair value of the warrants. The fair value allocated to the
      common shares was estimated at $579,175 and was recorded in share capital.
      The fair value allocated to the warrants was estimated at $195,898 and was
      recorded in contributed surplus. The fair value of the warrants at the
      time of issue of the Private Placement was estimated using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
      assumptions:

Expected volatility was calculated
  using the average closing price change on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
  for 3 years prior to the issue date of the warrants.

|   | The Share Award Plan is intended to promote the interests
      of the Company by (i) aiding the retention of employees and facilitating
      the recruitment of personnel by providing incentive compensation
      opportunities; and (ii) matching employees financial interests with those
      of the Companys shareholders. The administrator of the Share Award Plan
      has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award
      granted. The Company granted 407,500 share awards on September 30, 2007
      upon the one condition that the recipient remain employed with the Company
      for a period of 3 years. As at July 31, 2010, as a result of terminations
      and resignations, there remained 302,500 shares that may be issued,
      subject to continued employment by the employees until September 30, 2010,
      under the Share Award Plan. At September 30, 2010, as a result of
      terminations and resignations, there remained 277,500 shares that may be
      issued under the Share Award Plan. On December 17, 2010, in lieu of
      issuing common shares for such share awards, the Board of Directors issued
      277,500 stock options from the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

    unless otherwise stated)

BasicThe calculation of
  basic earnings per share at July 31, 2012 was based on the net income
  attributable to common shareholders of the Company of $ 2,803,697 (July 31, 2011
   loss of $ 2,206,992) and a weighted average number of common shares
  outstanding of 19,466,896 (July 31, 2011  17,048,978).

The basic earnings per share for years
  ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

| |                                            |   | July 31,   |  |   | July 31,   |

DilutedThe calculation of
  diluted earnings per share at July 31, 2012 was based on net income attributable
  to common shareholders of $2,803,697 (July 31, 2011  loss of $ 2,206,992), and
  a weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to reflect the
  effects of all options. For the period ended July 31, 2012, 2,048,227 options,
  2,335,502 warrants, 2,228,000 shares from the potential conversion of the
  principal of the convertible debentures and 579,280 shares from the potential
  conversion of the interests of convertible debentures that may potentially
  dilute earnings per share in the future were not considered in the computation
  since the exercise price of these instruments was higher than the average market
  price. The diluted weighted average number of common share is calculated as
  follows:

| |                                            |  | July 31,   |  |  | July 31,   |

For the year ended July 31, 2011,
  1,857,147 warrants were not considered in the computation since the exercise
  price of these warrants was higher than the average market price. Because the
  Company experienced a loss in 2011, the impact of the options and the potential
  conversion of the principal and interest of the convertible debentures described
  above were not taken into account because to do so would have been anti-dilutive
  for the year ended July 31, 2011.

The Corporation recognized no income
  taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as it has
  accumulated losses available to reduce income taxes that would otherwise have
  been payable for the current period. Furthermore, no deferred tax assets were
  recognized because Management does not believe that it is more probable than not
  that these would be realized.

Unrecognized deductible temporary
  differences for which no deferred tax assets have been recognized are presented
  in the following tables. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect
  of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be
  available against which the Company can utilize the benefits there from.

22 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Companys capital management
  objectives are to ensure the Companys ability to continue as a going concern
  and to provide an adequate return to its shareholders through the optimization
  of the Companys debt and equity balances. The Companys capital consists of the

  shareholders deficiency. The Company manages its capital structure and makes
  adjustments to it in the light of its expected business growth and changes in
  economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the
  Company may issue new shares or return capital to shareholders or issue new debt
  or pay down existing debt.

23 FINANCIAL RISKS

Financial Risk Management

The objective of the Companys
  financial risk management is to minimize its risk exposure against various
  financial risks, which include interest rate risk, credit risk, currency risk
  and liquidity risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to
  minimize such risks.

a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the
  future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate
  because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's debt is at fixed
  rates thereby limiting the exposure to cash flow resulting from interest rate
  fluctuations. However, changes in interest rates may have an impact on the fair
  value of the debt. Management assesses the Companys interest rate risk to be
  low.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party
  to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligation and cause the
  other party to incur a financial loss. The Companys maximum exposure to credit
  risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recorded at the
  balance sheet date.

The Companys credit risk exposure is
  detailed as follows:

| |                   |   | July 31,  |  |   | July 31,  | 
| | ----------------- | - | --------- |  | - | --------- | 
| |                   |   | 2012      |  |   | 2011      | 
| |                   |   |           |  |   |           | 
| | Cash              | $ | 811,655   |  | $ | 810,745   | 
| | Trade receivables |   | 307,937   |  |   | 541,959   | 
| | Other receivables |   | 975,285   |  |   | -         | 
| |                   | $ | 2,094,877 |  | $ | 1,352,704 | 

The Company minimizes its exposure to
  credit risk by placing its cash with major banks. Management considers these
  major banks to be at low risks of loss.

The credit risk exposure of the
  Companys accounts receivable is mitigated by issuing invoices for software
  licenses, maintenance and consulting services with short credit terms which are
  generally net 30 days. Software maintenance contracts are generally fully paid
  at the inception of the service period. In the normal course of operations, the
  Company evaluates the financial condition of its customers. Since most of the
  Companys customers are relatively large companies in various industries and
  with a strong history of payment, the allowance for doubtful accounts is
  nominal. For the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company generated approximately
  49% of its revenues from three customers and $84,032 (€68,147) were outstanding
  from those customers as at July 31, 2012 (for the year ended July 31, 2011,
  three customers represented 42% of the revenues and $54,104 (€39,429) was
  outstanding from those three customers as at July 31, 2011). Management assesses
  the Companys credit risk to be low.

SAND Technology Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJuly 31, 2012 and 2011(Expressed in Canadian Dollars,
    unless otherwise stated)

c)Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the
  value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign
  exchange rates. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to risk from
  changes in foreign currency rates. The Company does not hold any financial
  instruments that mitigate this risk. Management minimizes this risk by paying
  expenditures in the currency of the local operation through which funds are
  generated as a result of local revenue invoicing. However, the Company is still
  highly exposed to risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates with respect
  to the financial statement translation of foreign operations denominated in the
  U.S. dollar, the Pound Sterling, the Euro and the Australian Dollar. The
  following table details the Companys sensitivity to a 10% strengthening of the
  U.S. dollar, the Pound Sterling, the Euro and the Australian Dollar (2011  30%
  strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the Pound Sterling and a 21% strengthening
  of the Euro) against the Canadian dollar on the net income (loss) of the
  Company. The sensitivity analysis includes adjustments to foreign currency
  denominated monetary assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses for the
  changes described above. For a weakening of the U.S. dollar, the Pound Sterling,
  the Euro and the Australian Dollar by the same percentages against the Canadian
  dollar, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the net income (loss) of
  the Company. For this reason, management assesses the Companys currency risk to
  be high.

  foreign currencies included in its consolidated financial statements:

d)Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the
  Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due or can do
  so only at excessive cost. The Company manages this risk by regularly evaluating
  its liquid resources to fund its current and long-term obligations in a
  cost-effective manner.

The Companys exposure to liquidity
  risk is mitigated through its continued ability to sell software licenses,
  services and software maintenance contracts and the prompt collection of
  accounts receivable. The Company controls its liquidity risk by managing its
  cash and cash flows using budgets and cash estimates.

The table below summarizes the

24 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value

Fair value is the estimated amount that
  parties dealing at arms length would accept to exchange in settlement of a
  financial instrument based on the current market for instruments with the same
  risk, principal and maturity date. These fair value estimates are affected by
  assumptions made about the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows,
  discount rates and terms of the contract. As a result, the fair values are not
  necessarily the net amounts that would be realized if such financial instruments
  were settled.

The fair value, as at July 31, 2012 and
  2011, of cash, trade and other receivables excluding sales tax receivable, trade
  and other payables excluding sales tax payable, approximates their respective
  carrying value given their short-term maturities.

The Company utilizes various types of
  financing to fund its business needs including convertible notes with warrants
  attached. The Company reviews these transactions of securities issued, including
  its warrants and conversion features, to properly determine their proper
  classification between the debt and equity components and whether they are
  classified as a liability at each reporting period until the amount is settled
  and reclassified into equity with changes, if applicable, in fair value
  recognized in current earnings

The fair value of the debt component of
  the convertible debentures was determined by discounting future cash flows using
  rates that the Company would otherwise use for convertible debentures with
  similar terms, conditions and maturity dates.

As at July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2011,
  the classification of financial instruments, as well as their carrying values
  and the fair values, is as follows:

| |                   |   | July 31, 2012 | 
| | ----------------- | - | ------------- |

25- TRANSITION TO INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL
  REPORTING STANDARDS

As stated in Note 3a), this is the
  Companys first year of consolidated financial statements being prepared in
  accordance with IFRS. The Company has adopted IFRS in accordance with IFRS 1,
  First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS
  1)with a transition date of August 1, 2010. The Companys audited
  annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending July 31, 2012 are
  the first audited annual consolidated financial statements that are prepared in
  accordance with the requirements of IFRS including the application of IFRS 1.
  Prior to the adoption of IFRS, the Company prepared its consolidated financial
  statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

The significant accounting policies
  described in Note 3 have been applied in preparing the consolidated financial
  statements for the year ended July 31, 2012 as well as for the comparative
  information presented for the years ended July 31, 2011 and in the preparation
  of an opening IFRS consolidated balance sheet as at August 1, 2010.

In preparing the opening IFRS balance
  sheet as at August 1, 2010 and the comparative information for the year ended
  July 31, 2011, the Company adjusted amounts previously reported in the
  consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP
  based on IFRS 1, elections and exceptions and IFRS policy choices. An
  explanation of how the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS has affected the
  Companys financial position and financial performance and cash flows is set out
  in the following reconciliations and explanatory notes that accompany the
  reconciliations. Reconciliations of the consolidated balance sheets,
  consolidated statement comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the
  respective periods are contained in this Note.

IFRS 1 - FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS

IFRS 1 requires retroactive application for all IFRS standards
  effective at the reporting date except for certain mandatory exceptions from
  retrospective application that are relevant to the Company, or optional
  exemptions from retrospective application that were elected by the Company.
  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on
  the accounting policies described in Note 3. The applicable mandatory exceptions
  and optional exemptions from retrospective application are described in this
  section. The impact of these exceptions and exemptions and all other adjustments
  arising from IFRS policy choices and other requirements are described further
  below in section e), along with explanatory notes to the reconciliations of
  equity and comprehensive income and balance sheet items in section f) below.

|a) | Mandatory Exceptions

|   | IFRS 1 prescribes mandatory exceptions to the
      retrospective application requirements of IFRS. The following mandatory
      exceptions apply to the Company:  
|   |

|   | In addition to the mandatory exceptions listed above, the
      Company has elected not to apply retroactively the following optional
      exemptions under IFRS 1.

| | i) | IFRS 3 - Business
      Combinations
| | -- | ------------------------------------

The Company has elected to not apply
  the requirements of IFRS 3 retrospectively to business combinations that
  occurred prior to the transition date. Under the business combinations
  exemption, the carrying amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
  under Canadian GAAP at the date of the acquisition became their deemed carrying
  amounts under IFRS at that date. Notwithstanding this exemption, the Company was
  required at the transition date, to evaluate whether the assets acquired and
  liabilities assumed meet the recognition criteria in the relevant IFRS, and
  whether there are any assets acquired or liabilities assumed that were not
  recognized under Canadian GAAP for which recognition would be required under
  IFRS. The requirements of IFRS were then applied to the assets acquired and
  liabilities assumed from the date of acquisition to the transition date.

|   | Under Canadian GAAP, the entity can consider the entire
      award as a group, determine the fair value using the average term of the
      instruments and then recognize the compensation expense on a straight-
      line basis over the vesting period. Additionally, under Canadian GAAP,
      forfeitures must be recognized as they occur.

|   | Pursuant to IFRS 2, each portion of an award with graded
      vesting options must be considered as a separate award with its own
      vesting date and fair value and must be recognized on that basis.
      Additionally, under IFRS, entities are required to estimate awards that
      are expected to vest and to revise that estimate if subsequent information
      indicates that actual forfeitures are likely to differ from initial
      estimates.

|   | Under Canadian GAAP, the component parts of compound
      financial instruments (convertible debenture) issued by the Company were
      classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance
      with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of
      a financial liability and an equity instrument. The conversion option that
      was to be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash for a fixed
      number of the Companys own equity instruments was classified as an equity
      instrument.

|   | Under IFRS, the conversion option that will be settled by
      the exchange of a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of the Companys
      own equity instruments is classified as a financial liability since the
      instrument does not meet the fixed for fixed test.

|   | As a result, the equity component in the amount of
      $446,027 and the value of the warrants credited to contributed surplus in
      the amount of $305,600 that were previously recognized under Canadian GAAP
      were written off. At conversion date, the liability portion of the
      financial instrument was adjusted to $647,321 and the derivative
      components were classified as other financial liabilities in the amount of
      $342,927. An adjustment of $209,688 was charged to deficit. For the year
      ended July 31, 2011, accretion expense was increased by
      $72,436.

SAND Technology Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsJuly 31, 2012 and 2011(Expressed in Canadian Dollars,
    unless otherwise stated)

26 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the year, the Company had to
  delay the filing of its interim financial report and related managements
  discussion and analysis for the interim period ended April 30, 2012 beyond the
  filing deadline of June 29, 2012 due to the departure of the Chief Financial
  Officer in early June 2012.

The Company was then advised by the
  Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the AMF) that, in accordance with the
  guidelines set out in Policy Statement 12-203 respecting Cease Trade Orders for
  Continuous Disclosure Defaults, it had issued a cease trade order that prohibits
  all trading of the securities of the Company. The cease trade order was lifted
  by the AMF in October 2012.
