EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is filed to amend the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of 180
Connect Inc. (the
Company
) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 (the
Initial Filing
)
in order to correct an error in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2007 and as of
December 31, 2006. We determined that the long-term debt for our revolving credit facility should
be reclassified as current in accordance with EITF-95-22. These restatements to reclassify certain
amounts of long-term debt as current portion of long-term debt had no impact on the amounts of
total debt previously reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, the amount of the net loss and comprehensive
income (loss) reported in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the statements of shareholders equity and cash
flows for each of the above noted periods. As a result of these reclassifications, the current
portion of long-term debt increased by $17,122,530 and $20,534,422 as of September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively, with a corresponding decrease of the same amount to long-term debt
for each of the respective periods.
Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A, the other Items in the Initial
Filing remain unchanged and are not restated herein. This Amendment No. 1 continues to reflect
circumstances as of the date of the Initial Filing and the Company has not updated the disclosures
contained therein to reflect events that occurred at a later date, except for the items relating to
the restatement.

180 Connect Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On August 24, 2007 (the Effective Date), the plan of arrangement (the Arrangement)
pursuant to the arrangement agreement (the Arrangement Agreement), dated as of March 13, 2007, as
amended, by and among Ad.Venture Partners, Inc. (AVP), 180 Connect Exchangeco Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company (Purchaser) and 180 Connect Inc., a corporation incorporated
under the laws of Canada (180 Connect (Canada)) was consummated pursuant to which the Purchaser
(i) acquired all of the outstanding common shares of 180 Connect (Canada) in exchange for either
shares of Company common stock, exchangeable shares of Purchaser that are exchangeable into shares
of Company common stock at the option of the holder (exchangeable shares), or a combination of
Company common stock and exchangeable shares of Purchaser, and (ii) outstanding options to purchase
180 Connect (Canada) common shares were exchanged for options to purchase Company common stock. As
a result of the closing of the Arrangement, based on an exchange ratio of 0.6, the 180 Connect
(Canada) stockholders were issued an aggregate of 13,643,183 shares of Company common stock, and
2,779,260 shares exchangeable into shares of common stock. The AVP shareholders held 9,577,709 of
common shares of the Company immediately after the consummation of the Arrangement. Effective upon
the consummation of the Arrangement, AVP changed its name to 180 Connect Inc. (the Company).
Because the consummation of the Arrangement resulted in more than 50% of the voting securities
of the Company being held by the shareholders of 180 Connect (Canada), the Arrangement has been
accounted for under the reverse acquisition application of the equity recapitalization method of
accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for accounting and
financial reporting purposes. Under this method of accounting, AVP was treated as the acquired
company for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with guidance applicable to these
circumstances, the Arrangement is considered to be a capital transaction in substance. Accordingly,
for accounting purposes, the Arrangement was treated as the equivalent of 180 Connect (Canada)
issuing stock for the net monetary assets of AVP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net
monetary assets of AVP were recorded at their fair value, essentially equivalent to historical
costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The accumulated deficit of 180 Connect
(Canada) has been carried forward after the closing. Operations prior to the closing for all
periods presented are those of 180 Connect (Canada). All common shares, warrants, options and
earning per share amounts related to transactions and periods prior to August 24, 2007 have been
restated in these financial statements to reflect the 0.6 exchange ratio applied to 180 Connect
(Canada)s equity instruments.
The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to interim consolidated financial statements and include
180 Connect Inc. (formerly known as Ad.Venture Partners, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (the
Company). The notes presented in these interim consolidated financial statements include only
significant events and transactions occurring since the Companys last fiscal year and are not
fully inclusive of all matters normally disclosed in the Companys annual audited consolidated
financial statements. As a result, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006, included as an exhibit to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC on August 30, 2007.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Companys results for the
interim periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by management using the same accounting policies
and methods of application as the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the
Company except as described in Note 2 below.
6
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Seasonality
The Companys revenue is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our customers subscriber growth,
and thus the revenue earned by the Company, trends higher in the third and fourth quarters of the
year. While subscriber activity is subject to seasonal fluctuations, it may also be affected by
competition and varying amounts of promotional activity undertaken by the Companys customers.
Change in Accounting Estimate
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company changed its depreciation period on its leased
vehicles from 48 months to 60 months, resulting in a decrease of approximately $0.7 million and
$2.1 million in depreciation expense and an increase of $0.03 and $0.12 in earnings per share for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. This change in accounting
estimate was adopted to better reflect the useful life of the asset and was applied prospectively
from January 1, 2007.
2. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). This Statement:
|
|
|
Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains
an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation.
|
|
|
|
|
Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to
the requirements of Statement 133.
|
|
|
|
|
Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to
identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.
|
|
|
|
|
Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not
embedded derivatives.
|
|
|
|
|
Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial
interest other than another derivative financial instrument.
|
SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of
the Companys fiscal year that commences on January 1, 2007. The application of this pronouncement
had no material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is currently reviewing SFAS 157, but has not yet determined the impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity
to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
7
The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
The Company is currently reviewing SFAS 159, but has not yet determined the impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Companys financial statements in accordance with
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a minimum recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax provision taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and were adopted by the Company
effective January 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of FIN 48 is disclosed in Note 12.
3. RESTRICTED CASH
As at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had restricted cash, in the form
of term deposits of approximately $11.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively. These term
deposits are used to collateralize obligations associated with its insurance program and for
contractor licensing surety bonds in several states. Interest earned of 3% to 5% on these funds is
received monthly and is not subject to restriction.
On February 8, 2007, as a result of a reduction in its insurance obligations, the Company
negotiated a reduction in its required letter of credit (LOC). The LOC requirement, which is
collateralized with the Companys restricted cash, has been reduced by $3.2 million. This
reduction in the Companys restricted cash balance has been offset by a $1.6 million increase in
restricted cash as collateral for a $1.6 million bond for the Boise Airport project currently in
progress by the Companys Network Services operation.

Pursuant to the original terms of the debt agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd (Laurus),
the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary 180 Connect, Inc. (180 Connect Nevada), had
available a maximum amount of $57 million of debt comprising a term facility of $20 million and a
combined revolving credit facility and over-advance facility of up to $37 million. The revolving
credit facility is subject to the Companys eligible trade receivables and inventory as per the
debt agreement. For the period of August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) was able to
draw in excess of the eligible trade receivables and inventory an over-advance amount up to $9
million but not to exceed an aggregate amount of $37 million. After July 31, 2007, the over advance
became part of the revolving facility, this date was further extended to August 24, 2007. The
interest rates on the new debt range from prime plus 3% to prime plus 5%, subject to a minimum
interest rate of 10% to 12%, and are therefore subject to risk relating to interest rate
fluctuations. Monthly term loan repayments commenced February 1, 2007 for $666,667.
The debt agreement states that there are no financial covenants of the Company with respect to
such facilities but includes other covenants and events of default typical for credit facilities of
this nature. This facility is collateralized by a security interest in all of the assets of 180
Connect Nevada. 180 Connect Nevada obtained a waiver from Laurus, with regards to the Arrangement,
as such transaction may have constituted a change of control as defined in the debt agreement.
9
In connection with the debt agreement, in August, 2006 the Company issued warrants to Laurus
to purchase up to 1,200,000 common shares for nominal consideration of Canadian $0.01 per share,
having a term of seven years. Laurus agreed not to sell any common shares of the Company issuable
upon exercise of the warrants for a period of 12 months following the date of issuance of the
warrants. Thereafter, Laurus may, at its option and assuming exercise of the warrants, sell up to
150,000 common shares of the Company per calendar quarter (on a cumulative basis) over each of the
following eight quarters. On April 2, 2007, Laurus exercised its right under the warrants to
purchase the 1,200,000 common shares (Note 8).
The common stock purchase warrants were valued at $3,286,967, net of issuance costs of
$299,165, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following variables: volatility of
76.64%, expected life of seven years, a risk free interest rate of 4.5% and a dividend of nil. The
fair value of the loan was measured using a three-year maturity and the present value of the cash
payments of interest and principal due under the terms of the debt agreement discounted at a rate
of 17.5% which approximates a similar non-convertible financial instrument with comparable terms
and risk. Under Emerging Issues Task Force No.00-19 and APB Opinion No.14, the fair value of
warrants issued in connection with the stock purchase warrants would be recorded as a reduction to
the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, with the offset to additional paid-in capital.
At September 30, 2007, the Company had recorded $1,635,511 of accretion expense in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company paid $3,515,471 of issuance
costs to complete the long-term debt financing, these costs are in other assets and are being
amortized over the three-year period to maturity of the debt agreement with Laurus.
On July 2, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) entered into an amendment agreement with Laurus securing
additional interim financing to fund working capital until August 24, 2007.
Pursuant to the terms of the amendment agreement, Laurus agreed to provide an additional $8.0
million to 180 Connect (Canada) as an increase to the $37.0 million revolving loan, for a total
revolving loan of $45.0 million. As part of this arrangement, Laurus also agreed to extend the
maturity of the existing $9.0 million over-advance on the revolving loan from July 31, 2007 until
August 24, 2007.
Certain shareholders of AVP (the AVP Shareholders) agreed to provide a limited recourse
guaranty for the additional financing Laurus provided to 180 Connect (Canada) by placing $7.0
million in a brokerage account pledged to Laurus which was to be used solely to purchase shares of
common stock of AVP. As consideration for the guaranty and pledge, 180 Connect agreed to reimburse
the AVP Shareholders up to $150,000 for their fees and expenses in connection with the guaranty and
pledge.
On July 2, 2007 in connection with the amendment agreement, 180 Connect (Canada) issued Laurus
warrants to purchase 600,000 common shares of 180 Connect (Canada) with a five-year term,
exercisable at $4.35 per share, the adjusted market price of 180 Connect (Canada)s common stock at
the time of issue, with the shares issuable thereunder subject to a one-year lock-up. The common
stock purchase warrants were valued at $1,525,639, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
using the following variables: volatility of 61%, expected life of five years, a risk free interest
rate of 4.25% and a dividend of nil. On August 24, 2007 the Company issued an additional 250,000
warrants exercisable at $4.01, the closing price on the first date after consummation of the
Arrangement, which were valued at $558,258 using the same pricing model and variables as the
600,000 warrants described above. At September 30, 2007, the Company had recorded an expense in
interest and loan fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)
for $2,083,897 and a credit to paid in capital, respectively, as the bridge financing loans have
expired.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company and Laurus entered into a settlement with regard
to a dispute over an alleged misrepresentation and event of default under the provisions of the
Laurus debt agreements that Laurus alleged occurred as a result of the repayment of the convertible
debentures after consummation of the Arrangement. Under the settlement, the Company agreed to
reduce the exercise price of the 850,000 warrants that Laurus holds in the Company. Of the original
600,000 warrants issued to Laurus on July 2, 2007, 450,000 warrants were re-priced with the
exercise prices reduced from $4.35 to $0.01 and 150,000 warrants were re-priced with the exercise
prices reduced from $4.35 to $3.00. The 250,000 warrants issued on August 24, 2007 were re-priced
with the exercise price reduced from $4.01 to $3.00. The common stock purchase warrants were
re-valued immediately before and after the re-pricing, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
using the following variables:
10
volatility of 61%, expected life of five years, a risk free interest rate of 4.25% and a
dividend of nil. The re-pricing of the warrants increased the fair value of warrants by an
additional $1,003,763 and is recorded as an expense in interest and loan fees in the consolidated
statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and a credit to paid-in capital.
Laurus also received a 2.5% management fee on the $8.0 million increase to the revolver or
$200,000 and a $1.4 million commitment fee which was paid on August 27, 2007, and expensed in
interest and loan fees in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss).
Upon consummation of the Arrangement, the Company had no outstanding balance on the additional
$8.0 million revolving loan or the existing $9.0 million over-advance facility. Additionally, the
Company paid down $5.0 million of principal on its term loan. For the three months ended September
30, 2007 the Company repaid a total of $7.0 million of term debt, $10.4 million of convertible debt
and a portion of the Companys revolving credit facility, which may be re-borrowed subject to the
provisions of the debt agreement.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys audited and unaudited consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, respectively, the Companys management determined that an error existed in
previously issued consolidated balance sheets. The Company determined that the long-term debt for
the Revolver credit facility should be classified as current in accordance with EITF-95-22,
Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that
Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lockbox Arrangement (EITF 95-22)
. As a
result, the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007 have been
restated from amounts previously reported in Form 8-K dated August 24, 2007 and in the Form 10-Q
dated November 14, 2007, respectively. The restatement had no impact on the previously reported
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity or cash
flows. A summary of the effects of these restatements are as follows:

The Companys revolving credit facility (the Revolver) requires a lockbox arrangement, which
provides for all receipts to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding under the credit
facility. This arrangement, combined with the existence of a subjective acceleration clause in the
revolving credit facility, requires that the borrowings under the Revolver be classified as a
current liability on the balance sheet in accordance with EITF 95-22. The acceleration clause could
allow the Companys lender to forego additional advances should they determine there has been a
material adverse change in the Companys financial position or prospects reasonably likely to
result in a material adverse effect on the Companys business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance or properties. The Company believes that no such material adverse change
has occurred; further, as of March 27, 2008, the Companys lender had not informed the Company that
any such event had occurred.
6. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On March 22, 2006, the Company completed a private placement with a group of qualified,
accredited institutional investors of $10,686,101 of convertible debentures and warrants (Note 7).
During the second quarter of 2007, one of the convertible debentures holders exercised its option
to convert in total $2,024,785 of principal under the convertible debentures into 510,000 common
shares.
11
The consummation of the Arrangement constituted an event of default under 180 Connect
(Canada)s convertible debentures. In the third quarter of 2007, the convertible debenture holders
exercised their right to redeem the convertible debentures in full. The Company paid the holders of
the convertible debentures $10,393,577 which included outstanding principal and a 20% redemption
premium, excluding accrued but unpaid interest.
7. WARRANTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The warrants issued in connection with the Companys March 22, 2006 private placement (the
PIPE Warrants) are presented as a liability because they do not meet the criteria of EITF 00-19,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys
Own Stock, for equity classification. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The PIPE Warrants, which
have a four-year term, are exercisable into 942,060 common shares of the Company at an exercise
price of $4.3311 per share.
The Company determined the fair value of the PIPE Warrants at September 30, 2007 using a
Black-Scholes pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes pricing
model: an expected life of 2.5 years, volatility of 61% and a risk-free rate of 4.25%.
Each of the publicly traded warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of
AVP (the public warrants) and the unit purchase option issued to the underwriters in connection
with such initial public offering, were classified as a derivative liability, as required under
EITF No. 00-19, because in the absence of explicit provisions to the contrary in the warrant and
purchase option agreement, the Company must assume that it could be required to settle the warrants
and the unit purchase option on a net-cash basis, thereby necessitating the treatment of the
potential settlement obligation as a liability. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Company
entered into a Warrant Clarification Agreement which amended the warrant agreement governing the
public warrants to clarify that no obligation exists for cash settlement of the public warrants; a
similar amendment was entered into with respect to the unit purchase option (Note 19).
Under the provisions of EITF No. 00-19, a contract designated as an asset or a liability must
be carried at fair value on a companys balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in
the companys results of operations. The fair value of the public warrants and the unit purchase
option are shown on the Companys balance sheet as fair value of derivative financial instruments
and the changes in the fair values of these derivatives are shown in the Companys consolidated
statements of operations as Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Since
the public warrants are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the fair value of the public
warrants was determined based on the market price of the warrants at the end of each period. To the
extent that the market price increases or decreases, the Companys derivative liability will also
increase or decrease, impacting the Companys consolidated statement of operations. As of September
30, 2007, the closing sale price for the warrants was $0.40, resulting in a total warrant liability
of $7,200,000.
The Company determined the fair value of the unit purchase option at September 30, 2007 using
a Black- Scholes pricing model adjusted to include a separate valuation of the embedded warrants.
The following assumptions were used for the Black Scholes pricing model: an expected life of 2.9
years, volatility of 62% and a risk-free rate of 4.02%. Valuations derived from this model are
subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. Selection of these inputs
involves managements judgment and may impact net income (loss). The volatility factor used in the
Black-Scholes model has a significant effect on the resulting valuation of the derivative
liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet. For the embedded warrants, the Company
based the valuation on the closing sale price for the public warrants as of September 30, 2007
adjusted by the percentage difference between the valuations obtained using a Black-Scholes pricing
model (with the same assumptions) for the public warrants and the embedded warrants.
The Company determined the fair value of the unit purchase option at August 24, 2007 using a
Black-Scholes pricing model adjusted to include a separate valuation of the embedded warrants. The
following assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes pricing model: an expected life of 3.01
years, volatility of 63% and a risk-free rate of 4.31% resulting in a valuation of $636,225. As of
August 24, 2007, the closing sale price for the public warrants was $0.35, resulting in a total
warrant liability of $6,300,000. The fair market value of the total derivative of $6,936,225
was recorded as a credit to the fair value of derivative financial instruments and a debit to
paid-in capital, as it represents the fair market value of the derivative liability just prior to
the Arrangement.
12
In connection with the Arrangement, two unrelated third parties agreed with180 Connect
(Canada) to purchase 400,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively, of common stock of AVP and to vote
these shares in favor of the Arrangement at the August 24, 2007 AVP shareholders meeting. 180
Connect (Canada) agreed to a make whole formula with these individuals to be settled within 30 days
of consummation of the Arrangement. One of the individuals also received an option to acquire
16,000 AVP shares for $0.01 per share from Messrs. Balter and Slasky (initial stockholders and
officers and directors of AVP and, after consummation of the Arrangement, directors of the
Company).
At the maturity date of this arrangement, which was the 30
th
day following
consummation of the Arrangement, the Companys make whole liability was $2.8 million, and the
Company agreed with each of such parties, in lieu of satisfaction of the make whole arrangement, to
repurchase the shares and the option held by such parties for $3.0 million. The transaction
resulted in a loss of $2.8 million on the settlement of derivative liabilities and $0.2 million has
been recorded as a stock repurchase. The option remains outstanding.
13
The following tables show the changes in the fair values of derivative instruments recorded in
the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
September 30, 2006, respectively.

On April 2, 2007, Laurus exercised its right under the warrants held by it to purchase
1,200,000 common shares for $17,260, resulting in a debit to cash for $17,260, and a credit to
paid-in capital of $17,260. During the second quarter of 2007, one of the holders of the
convertible debentures and PIPE warrants exercised its option to convert in total $2,024,785 of
principal under the 9.33% convertible debentures into 510,000 common shares. This was recorded as a
debit to convertible debt and embedded derivative liabilities and a credit to paid-in capital of
$2,452,205. In addition, $158,975 of the associated issuance costs were reclassified from other
assets to paid-in capital.
On August 24, 2007, the Arrangement was consummated. The Arrangement is accounted for under
the reverse acquisition application of the equity recapitalization method of accounting in
accordance with U.S. GAAP for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result of the
transaction, the Company received $37,933,165 in proceeds net of AVPs transaction costs related to
the Arrangement and incurred $6,976,440 in issuance costs attributed to equity. The acquisition of
the net assets of AVP reduced paid-in capital by $6,797,958 primarily for the net fair value of
derivative financial instruments associated with the public warrants that existed before the
Arrangement (Note 7).
In the third quarter, the Company re-purchased 500,000 shares of common stock resulting in a
charge to equity of $224,019 (Note 7), and issued a total of 850,000 warrants to Laurus for
$3,087,660 (Note 5). The Company also recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of
$227,019 upon approval of the Long-Term Share Compensation Plan (Note 9).

9. STOCK -BASED COMPENSATION
During 2007, the Company established the Long-Term Share Compensation Plan (the LTIP) for
the benefit of executive officers and key employees. The LTIP was approved by the shareholders in
conjunction with the consummation of the transaction with AVP. Outside directors of the Company and
consultants to the Company are not entitled to participate in the LTIP. The LTIP was designed to
strengthen the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified officers and employees which
the Company and its affiliates require; encourage the acquisition of a proprietary interest in the
Company by such officers and employees, thereby aligning their interests with the interests of the
Companys shareholders; and focus management of the Company and its affiliates on operating and
financial performance and total long-term shareholder return by providing an increased incentive to
contribute to the Companys growth and profitability. Pursuant to the LTIP, the Board of Directors
may grant options to purchase common shares, share appreciation rights and restricted stock units
up to 2,000,000 shares, of which 1,980,000 were granted during the three months ended September 30,
2007.
In addition to the LTIP, during the fourth quarter of 2006, 180 Connect (Canada)s Board of
Directors granted 167,999 share appreciation rights to several of the Companys officers and senior
management. The share appreciation rights have an exercise price of $2.50, expire December 6, 2011
and are settleable in common shares of the Company. The fair value of the share appreciation rights
is measured at the date of approval and compensation expense is recorded in the period. The share
appreciation rights were measured at August 24, 2007 (the date of approval) and vest over a
four-year term ending December 6, 2010. 180 Connect (Canada) had previously issued stock options or
other stock-based compensation which was assumed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Arrangement.
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock
options, restricted stock units, and share appreciation rights and used the ratable method to
amortize compensation expense over the vesting period of the grant. Pursuant to the LTIP certain
senior executives were granted accelerated stock options and restricted stock units on September 5,
2007 that vest over a three-year term. The remaining stock options and restricted stock units also
granted on September 5, 2007 vest over a four-year term.
Total non-cash stock compensation expense recorded as operating expense for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007 was $227,019.
16
The fair value of each stock option, restricted stock unit and share appreciation right
granted was estimated using the following assumptions for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007:

In connection with the 2003 acquisition of the remaining 7% interest in Cable Play Inc., the
Company exchanged 2,726,592 of its options for 3,181,922 options of those previously granted by
Cable Play Inc. The Company applied FASB interpretation No.44 (FIN44), Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation. The fair value of the unvested options granted at the
date of acquisition of $4,126,541 was recognized as compensation cost over the remaining vesting
periods and the Company recorded compensation expense of nil and $91,214, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As at September 30, 2007, the Company had 2,471,478 total options, restricted stock units and
share appreciation rights outstanding to employees and directors of the Company (as of December 31,
2006 the Company has 349,946 stock options outstanding) to purchase an equal amount of common
shares. The options have a life of up to 10 years from the date of grant. Vesting terms and
conditions are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant and vesting terms range
from three to five years. On October 2, 2007, 20,000 stock options granted as part of the Cable
Play acquisition were exercised.

The Company recorded a current income tax expense of $0.1 million and a $0.1 million recovery
for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 respectively, and a $0.4
million tax expense and a $0.06 million recovery for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
September 30, 2006, respectively.
The adoption of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 resulted in an increase of tax liabilities of
$387,212 and a corresponding decrease of the valuation allowance of $276,608 and an income tax
expense of $110,604 as at January 1, 2007.
As of the date of adoption, the Companys total gross unrecognized benefit is $1,153,269 of
which $110,604, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. There are no material changes
to the total gross unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The
Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
income tax expense. The Company is not subject to, and therefore, has not accrued an amount in
respect of interest and penalties.
As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, tax years 2004 through 2007 remain subject to
examination in the U.S. and tax years 2001 through 2006 remain subject to examination in Canada.
The Company does not currently anticipate that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change within the next 12 months. Therefore, the FIN 48 liability is recognized as a non-current
liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is derived by using the
weighted average number of common shares during the period plus the effect of dilutive stock
options and warrants using the treasury stock method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007
and September 30, 2006, respectively, the diluted net income (loss) per share is equivalent to
basic net income (loss) per share as the outstanding options, and warrants are anti-dilutive. The
potential dilution of warrants, employee stock options, restricted stock units and share
appreciation rights could result in an additional 23.6 million common shares of the Company
outstanding.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company has a gain of $7,336, and
a loss of $491,884, respectively, on the disposal of leased vehicles (three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006 loss of $135,696 and $205,726, respectively).
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company sold its remaining interest in Control F-1
Corporation. This resulted in net proceeds of $1,327,693. The investment had been previously
written down to nil in 2004 due to prevailing market conditions. However, during the first quarter
of 2006, an agreement was reached between the Company and Computer Associates International, Inc.

Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $1,320,193 on the sale of the investment in the first quarter
of 2006.
15. OTHER EXPENSE
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had $4.4 million in other
expense, primarily attributed to bonuses of $3.6 million earned by certain of the Companys
directors and employees as a result of the closing of the Arrangement and $0.8 million related to
Magnetar Capital Master Fund, Ltds (Magnetar) support of 180 Connect (Canada)s proposed
Arrangement (Note 19).

17. CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiaries Ironwood Communications, Inc. and Mountain Center, Inc. are
party to three class action lawsuits in federal court in Washington, California and Oregon brought
by current and former employees alleging violations of state wage and hour laws and a class action
suit alleging violations of state paycheck laws in federal court in California. The Company has
established a reserve for estimated costs of $2.5 million for the Washington class action, of which
$1.5 million was remaining as of September 30, 2007.
In September 2007, the Company was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit in
federal court in Orlando, Florida. The claims relate to alleged violations of the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act. The purported class action period relates back to September 2004 and seeks to
certify a nationwide class of similarly situated employees.
21
In October 2007, our subsidiary, Ironwood Communications, Inc., was named as a defendant in a
purported class action lawsuit in state court in Los Angeles, California brought by current and
former employees. The claims relate to alleged violations of California wage and hour laws. The
purported class action period allegedly relates back to October 2003, although the class period may
be limited to after June 30, 2004 by virtue of settlement of previous wage and hour class action
litigation in California.
The Company intends to vigorously contest each of these claims. Other than with respect to
the Washington class action, no reserves have been recorded for these cases as the Company is
unable to estimate the amounts of probable and reasonably estimable losses.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to a number of individual
employment-related lawsuits. No reserve has been recorded for these cases as the Company is unable
to estimate the amount of probable and reasonably estimable loss. These lawsuits are not expected
to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company provides installation, integration and fulfillment services to the home
entertainment, communications and home integration service industries. As such the revenue derived
from this business is part of an integrated service offering provided to the Companys customers
and thus is reported as one operating segment.
The Companys operations are located in the United States and Canada. Revenue is attributed to
geographical segments based on the location of the customers.
The following table sets out property, plant and equipment, goodwill and customer contracts
from continuing operations by country as at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and revenue

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 20, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) offered to pay Magnetar $800,000 in connection with
Magnetars support of 180 Connect (Canada)s proposed Arrangement and, as a shareholder of AVP, for
Magnetar to agree to vote the shares it held in AVP in favor of the Arrangement at the August 24,
2007 AVP shareholders meeting. On August 23, 2007, Messrs. Balter and Slasky (initial stockholders
and officers and directors of AVP and, after consummation of the Arrangement, directors of the
Company) agreed to issue to Magnetar an option to acquire 160,000 shares of AVP for $0.01per share
in satisfaction of 180 Connect (Canada)s agreement with Magnetar and
180 Connect (Canada) agreed to reimburse Messrs. Balter and Slasky for such issuance, but such
option was never issued. On November 9, 2007, the Company issued Magnetar a warrant exercisable
for 356,952 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of amounts owing by the
Company to Magnetar. Such warrant was valued at $800,000 on November 9, 2007. In connection with
such issuance, the Company withheld 90,559 of the shares underlying the warrant in order to satisfy
U.S. tax withholding requirements and remitted $202,961 to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf
of Magnetar. Accordingly, the warrant will only be exercisable for 266,393 shares.
Subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Company entered into a Warrant Clarification Agreement
which amended the warrant agreement governing the public warrants to clarify that the Company will
have no obligation, under any circumstance, to pay the registered holder of a public warrant any
cash or other consideration or otherwise net cash settle any public warrant. A similar amendment
was entered into with respect to the unit purchase option issued to the underwriters in connection
with AVPs initial public offering.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of 180 Connect Inc. (the Company) is
prepared as of November 9, 2007 and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 and
the related notes thereto. You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with the Companys selected consolidated
historical financial information and its audited consolidated financial statements and the related
notes included as an exhibit to the Companys current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
August 30, 2007.
Certain information included herein is forward-looking and based upon assumptions and
anticipated results that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these
uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions and estimates prove incorrect,
actual results may vary significantly from those expected. Reference should be made to the section
entitled Forward-Looking Statements. Reference should also be made to the section 1A Risk
Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company provides installation, integration and fulfillment service to the home
entertainment, communications and home integration services industries. Our customers include
providers of satellite, cable and broadband media services as well as home builders, developers and
municipalities.
180 Connect generates substantially all of its revenue in the United States (U.S.) for which
it receives payment in U.S. dollars. 180 Connect prepares its interim consolidated financial
statements in U.S. dollars and in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar
amounts in this MD&A are expressed in U.S. dollars. References to $ and US$ are to U.S.
dollars.
As used in this section, we, us, our, 180 Connect Inc., the Company and words of
similar import refer to the consolidated business of 180 Connect Inc. (formerly known as Ad.Venture
Partners, Inc.).
Certain amounts have been reclassified from the consolidated financial statements previously
presented to account for discontinued operations.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company
items and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Companys results for the
interim periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by management using the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most
recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company.

On August 24, 2007 (the Effective Date), the Arrangement was consummated pursuant to which
the Purchaser (i) acquired all of the outstanding common shares of 180 Connect (Canada) in exchange
for either shares of Company common stock, exchangeable shares of Purchaser that are exchangeable
into shares of Company common stock at the option of the holder, or a combination of Company common
stock and exchangeable shares of
Purchaser, and (ii) outstanding options to purchase 180 Connect (Canada) common shares were
exchanged for options to purchase Company common stock. As a result of the closing of the
Arrangement, based on an exchange ratio of 0.6, the 180 Connect (Canada) stockholders were issued
an aggregate of 13,643,183 shares of Company common stock and 2,779,260 exchangeable shares. The
AVP shareholders held 9,577,709 of common shares of the Company immediately after the consummation
of the Arrangement. Effective upon the consummation of the Arrangement, AVP changed its name to 180
Connect Inc.
Because the consummation of the Arrangement resulted in more than 50% of the voting securities
of the Company being held by the shareholders of 180 Connect (Canada), the Arrangement has been
accounted for under the reverse acquisition application of the equity recapitalization method of
accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for accounting and
financial reporting purposes. Under this method of accounting, AVP was treated as the acquired
company for financial reporting purposes. In accordance with guidance applicable to these
circumstances, the Arrangement is considered to be a capital transaction in substance. Accordingly,
for accounting purposes, the Arrangement was treated as the equivalent of 180 Connect (Canada)
issuing stock for the net monetary assets of AVP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net
monetary assets of AVP were recorded at their fair value, essentially equivalent to historical
costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The accumulated deficit of 180 Connect
(Canada) has been carried forward after the Closing. Operations prior to the Closing for all
periods presented are those of 180 Connect (Canada). All common shares, warrants, options and
earning per share amounts related to transactions and periods prior to August 24, 2007 and have
been restated in these financial statements to reflect the 0.6 exchange ratio applied to 180
Connect (Canadas) equity instruments.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Seasonality

and thus the revenue earned by the Company, trends higher in the third and fourth quarters of the
year. While subscriber activity is subject to seasonal fluctuations, it may also be affected by
competition and varying amounts of promotional activity undertaken by the Companys customers.
Selected Financial Highlights Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2007
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September
30, 2006:
Third Quarter Highlights
|
|
|
Revenue grew to $102.5 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 14.0%, compared to
revenue of $89.9 million in 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
EBITDA from continuing operations
(1)
was $8.4 million, an increase of
$1.9 million or 29.5% compared to $6.5 million in 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
Total cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million, an increase of $7.1
million from the cash used by operating activities of $6.3 million in 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
Loss from continuing operations was $8.8 million, a decrease of $13.8 million
compared to income from continuing operations of $5.0 million in 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
Net loss was $8.8 million, a decrease of $13.3 million compared to net income of
$4.5 million in 2006.
|
25
|
|
|
Net income (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
September 30, 2006, respectively, is as follows:
|
|
|
|
Net income (loss) from continuing operations, was a loss of $(0.44) per share
basic and diluted compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.34 basic
and $0.33 diluted per share, respectively, in 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
Net income (loss), was a loss of $(0.44) per share basic and diluted compared to
net income of $0.30 per share basic and $0.29 diluted per share, respectively, in
2006.
|
(1) EBITDA from continuing operations excludes depreciation, amortization of customer
contracts, interest, and loan fees, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on
the extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on sale of investments and assets, other expense and
income tax expense (recovery). EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure and
does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA from continuing
operations is not likely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
See Non-GAAP Measures. Management believes that this term provides a better assessment of
cash flow from the Companys operations by eliminating the charges for depreciation and
amortization, which are non-cash expense items, (gain) loss on sale of investments and
assets, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on the extinguishment of debt,
and other expense which is not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity.
The comparative GAAP measure is income (loss) from continuing operations. A reconciliation
of EBITDA from continuing operations to income (loss) from continuing operations is
contained in this MD&A under EBITDA from continuing operations.
Comparison of Quarters Ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006
Selected Financial Information

Companys administrative functions, professional fees, office rent and other corporate related
expenses.

Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $102.5 million from $89.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This 14.0% increase reflects continued
growth in revenue resulting from DIRECTVs initiatives to promote high definition products sales
and upgrades as well as growth in our Canadian cable operations, 180 Home and Network Services
businesses. Work order volume from DIRECTV for the three months ended September 30, 2007,
increased by 13.9% from the three months ended September 30, 2006. In addition to the benefits of
this increase in volume, there was also a rate benefit realized in the quarter due to the rate
increases initiated in the second quarter of 2007. Different rates are earned for each type of
service completed and the mix of services (installations, upgrades and service) impact both the
revenue per call and number of service calls that may be completed.
27
Revenue from the majority of our customers is recognized when work orders are closed. Our
contracts with our customers also include mechanisms whereby we are not paid for certain work that
is not completed within the specifications of the contract. Based upon historical payments, the
Company calculates and estimates a reserve
against revenue each month. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, $1.2 million (1.1%
of revenue) was recorded as a deduction to revenue as compared to $1.2 million (1.4% of revenue)
for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, cable operations continued to grow,
particularly in Rogers Communications which experienced an increase of 61%, partially offset by a
reduction in revenue at certain other cable operations. Overall Cable revenues grew by $0.9 million
or 6%, over the prior year. Revenue for our Network Services business increased by 37% over the
prior year primarily due to our municipal fiber projects in Boise, Idaho, Ontario, and Santa Clara
and Shafter, California. Revenue in our 180 Home business grew by 58% over the comparable period
last year.
Direct Contribution Margin
DCM, defined as revenue less direct operating expenses, increased by $1.4 million, or 12.6%,
from $11.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 to $12.6 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2007. The increase in DCM is primarily due to revenue growth discussed above and a
reduction in insurance expense which was partially offset by increased training and recruiting
costs required to meet volume demands and by higher support costs associated with our customer
satisfaction initiatives. DCM, as a percentage of revenue, decreased in the quarter to 12.3% in
2007 from 12.5% in 2006.
DCM is a non-GAAP measure. The comparable GAAP measure is income (loss) from continuing
operations. Loss from continuing operations of $8.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007
decreased by $13.8 million compared to income from continuing operations of $5.0 million in the
quarter ended September 30, 2006. See reconciliation of DCM to income (loss) from continuing
operations, the comparable GAAP measure.

General and Administrative Expenses and Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation
General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, a
decrease of $0.7 million or 14.0% from the three months ended September 30, 2006. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.0% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 from 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in general
and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in consulting expense.
Non-cash stock-based compensation was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2007, as a result of the grant of employee stock options, restricted stock units, and share
appreciation rights during the quarter. There was no stock-based compensation for the comparable
period last year.
EBITDA from Continuing Operations
EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from continuing operations for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased to $8.4 million from $6.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 an increase of $1.9 million or 29.5%, primarily attributed to an increase
in direct contribution margin discussed above and a decrease in general and administrative
expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, EBITDA includes $0.2 million in non-cash
compensation expense related to the Companys Long-Term Share Compensation Plan. Excluding this
non-cash charge, EBITDA would have been $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The comparable GAAP measure is income (loss) from continuing
operations. Loss from continuing operations of $8.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007
decreased by $13.8 million compared to income from continuing operations of $5.0 million in the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, depreciation expense of $3.1 million
represents a decrease of $0.4 million from the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease
is primarily attributable to the change in the estimated useful life of the Companys vehicles from
48 months in 2006 to 60 months in 2007 in order to better reflect the useful life of the asset.
Amortization of customer contracts of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007
was unchanged from the three months ended September 30, 2006.
29
Other Income and Expense
Interest and loan fees were $7.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
represent an increase of $4.9 million from the three months ended September 30, 2006. This
increase is due in part to a $1.4 million commitment fee and $0.2 million management fee paid to
Laurus for the amendment agreement to secure
additional financing to fund working capital prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.
The amortization of deferred financing costs, the re-pricing of warrants, and the accretion
attributed to the warrants associated with the convertible debentures and Laurus long-term debt
financing also increased interest and bank charges by approximately $3.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2007.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized a gain of $1.2
million on the extinguishment of debt that it had with a previous lender. The gain was a result of
the Companys negotiations with its prior lender reducing the amount of its final payment including
any accrued interest to an agreed upon amount below what had previously been recorded by the
Company.
The loss on fair value of derivative liabilities was $0.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2007; a decrease of $5.5 million compared to a gain of $4.6 million from the three
months ended September 30, 2006. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, the convertible
debt holders redeemed their notes for cash resulting in a gain on the fair market value of the
embedded derivatives of $0.7 million, compared to a gain on the embedded derivatives of $3.4
million in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The gain on the fair value of the convertible
debt warrants was $1.7 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and
September 30, 2006, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 the loss on the
fair value of the warrants in connection with AVPs initial public offering was $0.6 million as
compared to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2006. In connection with the Arrangement,
two unrelated third parties agreed with 180 Connect (Canada) to purchase 400,000 and 100,000
shares, respectively, of AVP and to vote these shares in favor of the Arrangement at the August 24,
2007 AVP shareholders meeting. 180 Connect (Canada) agreed to a make whole formula with these
individuals to be settled within 30 days of consummation of the Arrangement. The consummation of
the Arrangement resulted in a $2.8 loss on the fair value of derivative liabilities for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to nil for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had $4.4 million in other expense,
primarily attributed to bonuses of $3.6 million earned by certain of the Companys directors and
employees as a result of the closing of the Arrangement and $0.8 million related to third-party
support of 180 Connect (Canada)s proposed Arrangement.
Income Tax Expense (Recovery)
The Company recorded a current income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.1 million recovery
for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.
Income (loss) from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.8 million
compared to income from continuing operations of $5.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2006.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was nil compared to
a loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006
related to the closure of operations at certain non-profitable branches as well as certain
operations where the contracts with the customers were not renewed. The revenue and expenses of
these locations have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Net Income (loss)
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $8.8 million compared to net income of
$4.5 million for the comparable period of 2006.

DCM consists of revenue less direct expenses and excludes general and
administrative expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), non cash stock-based compensation,
depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, interest and loan fees, (gain) loss on
sale of investments and assets, gain (loss) on fair market value of derivatives, gain on
extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (recovery). DCM is a
non-GAAP measure. See Non-GAAP Measures. The comparative GAAP measure is loss from
continuing operations. For a reconciliation of DCM to loss from continuing operations,
see Direct Contribution Margin.

Revenue
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $283.6 million from $239.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This 18.6% increase reflects continued growth
in revenue resulting from DIRECTV channeling more work through their home services provider network
and increased customer demand resulting from DIRECTVs initiatives to promote high definition
products sales and upgrades as well as growth in our Canadian cable operations, 180 Home and
Network Services businesses. Work order volume from DIRECTV for the nine months ended September
30, 2007, increased by 18.1% from the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In addition to the
benefits of this increase in volume, there was also a rate benefit realized in the quarter due to
the rate increases initiated in the second quarter of 2007. Different rates are earned for each
type of service completed and the mix of services (installations, upgrades and service) impacts
both the revenue per call and number of service calls that may be
completed.
31
Revenue from the majority of our customers is recognized when work orders are closed. Our
contracts with our
customers also include mechanisms whereby we are not paid for certain work that is not
completed within the specifications of the contract. Based upon historical payments, the Company
calculates and estimates a reserve against revenue each month. For the nine months ended September
30, 2007, $2.6 million (0.9% of revenue) was recorded as a deduction to revenue as compared to $3.1
million (1.3% of revenue) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cable operations continued to grow, particularly
in Rogers Communications and Time Warner which experienced increases of 69% and 41%, respectively,
partially offset by a reduction in revenue at certain other cable operations. Overall Cable
revenues grew by 10% year over year. Revenue for our Network Services business increased by 68%
over the prior year primarily due to our municipal fiber projects in Boise, Idaho, Ontario and
Santa Clara and Shafter, California and revenue of our 180 Home business grew by 178% off a
relatively small base.
Direct Contribution Margin
DCM, defined as revenue less direct operating expenses, increased by $5.6 million, or 24.2%,
from $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $28.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in DCM is primarily due to the revenue growth
discussed above and reductions in insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in fuel
prices. DCM, as a percentage of revenue, increased in the period to 10.1% in 2007 from 9.7% in
2006.
DCM is a non-GAAP measure. The comparable GAAP measure is loss from continuing operations.
Loss from continuing operations of $21.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007
increased by $16.4 million compared to loss from continuing operations of $5.2 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. See reconciliation of DCM to loss from continuing operations,
the comparable GAAP measure.

General and Administrative Expenses, Restructuring Costs and Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation
General and administrative expenses were $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, a decrease of $0.1 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2006. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 from 5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
In addition to the general and administrative expenses above there was a restructuring charge
of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
September 30, 2006 respectively, due to the completion of the Companys relocation of its corporate
offices to Denver, Colorado.
Non-cash stock-based compensation was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, as a result of the grant of employee stock options, restricted stock units, and share
appreciation rights compared to $0.1 million for the comparable period last year.
Depreciation and Amortization of Customer Contracts
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, depreciation expense of $8.6 million represents
a decrease of $1.4 million from nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the change in useful life of the vehicles from 48 months in 2006 to 60 months in
2007 in order to better reflect the useful life of the asset. Amortization of customer contracts
was $2.8 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30,
2006, respectively.
EBITDA from Continuing Operations
EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased to
$14.6 million from $8.7 million in 2006, an increase of $5.8 million or 66.8% is primarily
attributed to an increase in direct contribution margin discussed above. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, EBITDA includes $0.2 million in non-cash compensation expense related to the
Companys Long-Term Share Compensation Plan. Excluding this non-cash charge as well as
restructuring and US listing costs incurred prior to the AVP merger, EBITDA would have been $15.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The comparable GAAP measure is loss from continuing operations.
Loss from continuing operations was $21.6 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Other Income and Expense
Interest and loan fees were $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
represent an increase of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase
is due in part to a $1.4 million commitment fee and $0.2 million management fee paid to Laurus for
the amendment agreement to secure additional financing to fund working capital prior to the merger.
The amortization of deferred financing costs, re-pricing of warrants, accretion attributed to the
warrants associated with the convertible debentures and Laurus long-term debt financing also
increased interest and loan fees by approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company recognized a gain of $1.2 million on the
extinguishment of debt that it had with a previous lender. The gain was a result of the Companys
negotiations with its prior lender reducing the amount of its final payment including any accrued
interest to an agreed upon amount below what had previously been recorded by the Company.
The (gain) loss on sale of investments and assets reflects a $1.6 million increase to the loss
from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period last year. In the first quarter of 2006, we sold our interest in Control F-1 Corporation
(Control F-1) to Computer Associates International, Inc. and Computer Associates Canada Company
for net proceeds of $1.3 million, which was recognized as a pre-tax gain of $1.3 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2006. The investment had been previously written down to nil in
2004 due to prevailing market conditions. In addition, the Company had a loss on the disposal of
assets of $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September
30, 2006, respectively.
The loss on fair value of derivative liabilities was $5.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to a gain on fair value of derivative liabilities of $3.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, the convertible debt
holders redeemed the convertible debt for cash. The loss on the fair market value of the embedded
derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $2.6 million, compared to a gain on
the embedded derivatives of $2.8 million in the comparable period in 2006. The gain on the fair
value of the convertible debt warrants was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 compared to a gain of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the loss on the fair value of the public warrants was $0.6 million
as compared to nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In connection with the
Arrangement, two unrelated third parties agreed with180 Connect (Canada) to purchase 400,000 and
100,000 shares, respectively, of AVP and to vote these shares in favor of the Arrangement at the
August 24, 2007 AVP shareholders meeting. 180 Connect (Canada) agreed to a make whole formula with
these individuals to be settled within 30 days of consummation of the Arrangement. The
consummation of the Arrangement resulted in a $2.8 loss on the fair value of derivative
liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to nil for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
34
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had $4.4 million in other expense,
primarily attributed to bonuses of $3.6 million earned by certain of the Companys directors and
employees as a result of the closing of the Arrangement and $0.8 million related to third-party
support of 180 Connect (Canada)s proposed Arrangement.
Income Tax Expense (Recovery)
The Company recorded a current income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.1 million recovery
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 respectively.
Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $21.6 million
compared to loss from continuing operations of $5.2 million for the comparable period of 2006.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.1
million compared to loss from discontinued operations of $1.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 related to the closure of operations at certain non-profitable branches as well
as certain operations where the contracts with the customers were not renewed. The revenue and
expenses of these locations have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $21.7 million compared to a net loss
of $7.0 million for the comparable period of 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of liquidity are its total cash provided by its operating
activities and its borrowings under its credit facilities. Cash provided by continuing operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $5.3 million and $4.3 million,
respectively.
On March 13, 2007, we entered into the Arrangement Agreement with AVP. On August 24, 2007, the
Arrangement was consummated and as a result, 180 Connect (Canada) became an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of AVP, which was re-named 180 Connect Inc.. The Company has applied for listing on
the American Stock Exchange.
As a result of the transaction, the Company received $37.9 million in proceeds and incurred
$7.0 million in issuance costs. The consummation of the Arrangement constituted an event of default
under 180 Connect (Canada)s convertible debentures. In the third quarter of 2007, the holders of
the convertible debentures exercised their right to redeem the convertible debentures in full. The
Company paid the holders of the convertible debentures $10,393,577, which included outstanding
principal, and a 20% redemption premium excluding accrued but unpaid interest. On August 24, 2007,
180 Connect (Canada) paid Laurus $5.0 million principal on the term note upon the consummation of
the Arrangement. The Company also used $0.2 million of the merger proceeds to purchase 500,000
shares of treasury stock and $2.8 million in settlement of derivative liabilities. The remaining
proceeds will be used to fund working capital and corporate expenses.
35
On August 1, 2006, 180 Connect (Canada), through its wholly-owned subsidiary 180 Connect, Inc.
(180 Connect Nevada), entered into a Security and Purchase Agreement with Laurus for the
refinancing of its long-term debt. The original agreement provided up to $57 million of debt
comprised of a $37 million revolving credit and
over-advance facility and a $20 million term facility, with an interest rate of prime plus 3%
on the revolving credit facility, subject to a minimum interest rate of 10%, an interest rate of
prime plus 5% on any over-advance under the revolving credit facility, subject to a minimum
interest rate of 11% and an interest rate of prime plus 5% on the term facility, subject to a
minimum interest rate of 12%. For the period from August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007, 180 Connect
(Canada) was able to draw in excess of the eligible trade receivables and inventory an over advance
amount up to $9 million but not to exceed an aggregate amount of $37 million. Availability under
the revolving facility fluctuates daily based on receivables and inventory. After July 31, 2007,
the over-advance became part of the revolving facility and this date was further extended to August
24, 2007. As of November 2, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) had availability of $5.1 million under the
revolving facility, and the total balance outstanding was $21.7 million. Monthly repayments on the
term loan of $666,667 commenced February 1, 2007. Repayment of 180 Connect (Canada)s indebtedness
to Laurus is secured by all of the assets of 180 Connect Nevada.
180 Connect (Canada) is not subject to any financial covenants with respect to the credit
facilities but is subject to other covenants including certain restrictions on its subsidiaries on
assuming or guaranteeing additional indebtedness, forgiving any indebtedness, issuing any preferred
stock, purchasing stock (other than of a subsidiary), making loans other than loans to employees or
to its subsidiaries, entering into a merger, consolidation or reorganization, materially changing
the nature of its business, changing its accounting practices and disposing of its assets. In
addition, the failure to make required payments under the facilities or other indebtedness, the
failure to adhere to a covenant or the occurrence of material adverse changes to its business,
bankruptcy, certain changes to its ownership or Board of Directors, among other events, could
result in an event of default under the facilities. The Companys revolving credit facility (the
Revolver) requires a lockbox arrangement, which provides for all receipts to be swept daily to
reduce borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. This arrangement, combined with the
existence of a subjective acceleration clause in the revolving credit facility, requires that the
borrowings under the Revolver be classified as a current liability on the balance sheet in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 95-22, Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit
Agreements that Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement (EITF
95-22). The amount outstanding under the Revolver was previously classified as long-term debt as
of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the balance sheets have been restated to correct
the classification of the amounts due under the Revolver to current portion of long-term debt as of
September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 increasing the current portion of long-term debt by
$17,122,530 and $20,534,422 respectively to $23,939,882 and $26,502,096 respectively from the
amount previously reported amounts of $6,817,35 and $5,967,674 respectively. These restatements had
no impact on the previously reported consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity,
or cash flows for the period and year ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 respectively.
The acceleration clause could allow the lender to forego additional advances should they
determine there has been a material adverse change in the Companys financial position or prospects
reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Companys business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance or properties. The Company believes that no such
material adverse change has occurred; further, as of March 27, 2008, the Companys lender had not
informed the Company that any such event had occurred.
As of September 30, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) was in compliance with the covenants of its
credit facilities. 180 Connect (Canada) obtained a waiver from Laurus with regards to the
Arrangement as it may have constituted a change of control as defined in section 19(1) of the
Security and Purchase Agreement.
In addition, in August, 2006, 180 Connect (Canada) issued a warrant to Laurus to purchase up
to 1,200,000 common shares for nominal consideration of CDN$0.01 per share, having a term of seven
years. On April 2, 2007, Laurus exercised its right under the warrant to purchase the 1,200,000
common shares. Laurus agreed not to sell any common shares issued upon exercise of the warrant
until July 31, 2007. Thereafter, Laurus may, at its election and assuming exercise of the warrant,
sell up to 150,000 common shares per calendar quarter (on a cumulative basis) over each of the
following eight quarters, subject to applicable securities laws restrictions and limitations.
36
On March 22, 2006, 180 Connect (Canada) completed a private placement to a group of
institutional investors. For an aggregate purchase price of $10.7 million, the investors purchased
convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 942,060 common shares. The convertible debentures
accrued interest at a rate of 9.33% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, based on a 360-day
year. The debentures were to mature on March 22, 2011. In
addition, the debentures were to accelerate to maturity upon the occurrence of a default on
the debentures by 180 Connect (Canada). The terms of the debentures allowed the investors, at their
discretion, to convert all or part of the debentures into its common shares. The aggregate number
of common shares to be delivered upon such conversion was approximately 2.7 million shares, subject
to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the debentures and subject to additional contractual
limitations as described in the debentures. During the second quarter of 2007, one of the
institutional investors of the convertible debentures and warrants exercised its option to convert
in total $2,024,785 of principal under the 9.33% convertible debentures into 510,000 common shares.
The consummation of the Arrangement constituted an event of default under 180 Connect (Canada)s
convertible debentures. In the third quarter of 2007, the lenders exercised their right to redeem
the convertible debentures in full. The Company paid the holders of the convertible debentures
$10,393,577, which included outstanding principal, and a 20% redemption premium excluding accrued
but unpaid interest.
The warrants to purchase 942,060 common shares issued to the investors in the private
placement are exercisable until March 21, 2010. The exercise price of the warrants is $4.331
subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the warrants (which adjustment is limited and
capped as described in the warrants). The warrants may be exercised through a cashless exercise if
there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares.
180 Connect (Canada) entered into agreements with third party leasing companies to lease
approximately 2,600 vehicles pursuant to its fleet expansion program. Under these agreements, 180
Connect (Canada)s lease payment obligations amounted to $43.7 million for the periods of 2005
through 2009. As at September 30, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) had a remaining contractual capital
obligation of $25.6 million. These vehicles have been recorded as capital leases.
On July 2, 2007, 180 Connect (Canada) entered into an amendment agreement with Laurus securing
additional interim financing to fund working capital until August 24, 2007. Pursuant to the terms
of the agreement, Laurus agreed to provide an additional $8.0 million to 180 Connect (Canada) as an
increase to the current $37.0 million revolving loan, for a total revolving loan of $45.0 million.
As part of this arrangement, Laurus also agreed to extend the maturity of the existing $9.0 million
over-advance letter on a revolving loan from July 31, 2007 until August 24, 2007. At August 24,
2007, 180 Connect (Canada) had no outstanding borrowings under either the additional $8.0 million
revolving loan or the existing $9.0 million over-advance facility.
In connection with the amendment agreement certain AVP shareholders agreed to provide a
limited recourse guaranty for the additional financing Laurus provided to 180 Connect (Canada) by
placing $7.0 million in a brokerage account pledged to Laurus which may be used solely to purchase
AVP shares.
Laurus also agreed to loan $10.0 million to a special purpose corporation for the purpose of
purchasing shares of AVP common stock. The special purpose corporation is a third-party
arms-length corporation to both 180 Connect (Canada) and AVP. Neither the special purpose
corporation nor Laurus agreed to make any specific amount of purchases or to vote any shares
purchased in any specific manner in connection with the Arrangement.
As consideration for the guaranty and pledge, 180 Connect (Canada) agreed to reimburse such
AVP Shareholders up to $150,000 for their fees and expenses in connection with the guaranty and
pledge.
On July 2, 2007 in connection with the amendment, Laurus received warrants to purchase 600,000
common shares of the Company with a five-year term, exercisable at $4.35 per share, the adjusted
market price at the time of issue, with the shares issuable thereunder, subject to a one-year
lock-up. On August 24, 2007 an additional 250,000 AVP warrants were issued to Laurus upon
consummation of the Arrangement. Laurus received a 2.5% management fee on the $8.0 million
increase to the revolver or $200,000 and a $1.4 million commitment fee in the third quarter of
2007.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company and Laurus entered into a settlement with regard
to a dispute over an alleged misrepresentation and event of default under the provisions of the
Laurus debt agreements that Laurus alleged occurred as a result of the repayment of the convertible
dentures after consummation of the Arrangement Agreement.
37
Under the settlement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the 850,000 warrants
that Laurus holds in the Company. Of the original 600,000 warrants issued to Laurus on July 2,
2007, 450,000 warrants were re-priced with the exercise prices reduced from $4.35 to $0.01 and
150,000 warrants were re-priced with the exercise prices reduced from $4.35 to $3.00. Laurus has
agreed not to sell any common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of the 600,000 warrants
for a period of twelve months following the date of issuance of the warrants. The 250,000 AVP
warrants issued on August 24, 2007 were re-priced with an exercise price reduced from $4.01 to
$3.00.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, cash provided by (used
in) operating activities was $0.8 million and $(6.3) million, respectively. In the third quarter
of 2007, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $19.9 primarily due to a seasonal
increase in the equipment payable with DIRECTV. Accounts receivable increased by $11.0 million
primarily due to an increase in the trade and equipment receivable with DIRECTV primarily
attributed to higher revenue, and inventory increased by $3.6 million primarily attributed to more
advanced equipment on hand. Insurance premium deposits were increased by approximately $3.3 million
due to the Companys payment arrangement with its insurance carrier. The loss on the settlement of
derivative liabilities of $2.8 million was related to the re-purchase of common shares in
connection with the agreements to have two third-parties vote their AVP shares in favor of the
Arrangement at the August 24, 2007 AVP shareholders meeting. Other changes in non-cash working
capital balances related to operations attributed to the remainder of the increase.
In the third quarter of 2006, accounts receivable increased $13.9 million as a result of
increased revenues, and inventory increased $5.0 million as a result of higher penetrations of
advanced equipment partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of
$9.5 million related to the Companys payment terms.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, cash provided by (used
in) operating activities was $(0.1) million and $0.2 million, respectively. In 2007, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities increased by $2.6 primarily due to an increase in the equipment
payable with DIRECTV. Restricted cash requirements were reduced by $2.6 million, primarily as a
result of the reduction in the insurance collateral requirements due to the Companys continued
satisfaction of its insurance obligations. Insurance premium deposits were reduced by
approximately $1.3 million due to the Companys payment arrangement with its insurance carrier.
These increases in operating cash flow were offset by an increase of $2.5 million in inventory
primarily attributed to more advanced equipment on hand. Accounts receivable increased by $3.1
million primarily due to higher revenue at the end of the quarter. The loss on settlement of
derivative liabilities of $2.8 million was related to the re-purchase of common shares in
connection with the agreements to have two third-parties vote their AVP shares in favor of the
Arrangement at the August 24, 2007 AVP shareholders meeting. Other changes in non-cash working
capital balances related to operations attributed to the remainder of the increase.
In 2006, accounts receivable decreased by $4.3 million as a result of a new bi-weekly payment
program with DIRECTV. Additionally, inventory decreased by $2.5 million as a result of improved
inventory management and reduction in equipment cost. These increases were more than offset by a
decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6.2 million related to the Companys
payment terms and an increase in insurance premium deposits of $2.8 million due to the Companys
payment arrangement with its insurance carrier.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Our historical investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of property, plant and
equipment and business acquisitions and divestments.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, cash used in investing
activities was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, from the purchase of property, plant,
and equipment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 cash used in
investing activities were $2.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, the Company realized net proceeds of $1.3 million for the sale of our remaining
interest in Control F-1 which was offset by the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $2.1
million.
38
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Our financing activities have historically consisted primarily of the use of revolving lines
of credit, term loans, debentures, capital leases and the issuance of equity. For the three months
ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, cash provided by financing activities was $0.2
million and $3.4 million, respectively. As a result of the merger with AVP, the Company received
$37.9 million in proceeds and incurred $7.0 million of issuance costs. The consummation of the
Arrangement constituted an event of default under 180 Connect (Canada)s convertible debentures. In
the third quarter of 2007, the lenders exercised their right to redeem the convertible debentures
in full. The Company paid the holders of the convertible debentures $10,393,577, which included
outstanding principal, and a 20% redemption premium excluding accrued but unpaid interest. On
August 24, 2007, the Company paid Laurus $5.0 million principal on the term note upon the
consummation of the Arrangement. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company reduced its long-term
debt by an additional $13.4 million, of which $2.0 million were scheduled term payments. The
Company also purchased 500,000 shares of treasury stock for $0.2 million and made $1.8 million in
scheduled vehicle lease payments.
In the third quarter of 2006, the refinancing of the Companys long term debt provided $42.1
million which was used to extinguish its previous debt of $32.9 million plus the issuance costs of
$3.4 million. $3.5 million was used for the payment of capital leases for the Companys new fleet.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006, cash provided by (used
in) financing activities was $0.3 million and $(2.3) million, respectively. As a result of the
merger with AVP, the Company received $37.9 million in proceeds and incurred $7.0 million in
issuance costs. In the third quarter of 2007, the convertible debt was redeemed in full at an
amount of 120% of the outstanding principal in the amount of $10.4 million, excluding any accrued
interest. On August 24, 2007, the Company paid Laurus $5.0 million principal on the term note upon
the consummation of the Arrangement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company has
repaid $10.3 million in term debt and $4.0 million in other long-term debt. The Company also
purchased 500,000 shares of treasury stock at cost of $0.2 million and made $9.2 million in
scheduled vehicle lease payments. The refinancing of approximately 1,020 vehicles with a
third-party leasing company under a capital lease resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.5
million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the refinancing of the long term debt
provided $42.1 million used to extinguish its previous debt of $32.9 million plus the issuance
costs of $3.4 million. In 2006, the Company completed a private placement of $10.7 million of
convertible debentures and warrants. This was offset by the payment of $11.4 million for capital
lease obligations primarily related to the Companys new fleet and the repayment of a portion of
the Companys long-term debt pursuant to agreements with the Companys lenders.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have any restricted cash invested in asset
backed commercial paper. An assumed one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates
would have the effect of increasing or decreasing interest expense by approximately $0.1 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
The working capital deficiency at September 30, 2007 was due, primarily, to the 30-45 day
payment terms for inventory purchased from DIRECTV and the approximately 20-day receivable terms
from DIRECTV for that inventory when it is installed in the consumers home.
We believe that cash flow from continuing operations and availability under existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term requirements for ongoing
operations and planned growth. However, we derive a significant portion of our revenue from a
limited number of customers. See Risk Factors in section 1A of this Report Form 10-Q. A decision
by a major customer to discontinue, in whole or in part, use of the Companys services in the
future may adversely affect the Companys capital resources.

The long-term debt amounts in the schedule above do not include interest because it is at
variable rates. The estimated interest expense for the remainder of 2007, 2008-2009,
2010-2011 and thereafter is $1,998,081, $5,395,437 and nil, respectively. The Company
estimated interest expense based on current interest rates, current balances and scheduled
repayments. The amounts due have been restated from the amounts previously presented as a
result of the reclassification of balances due under the Laurus Revolver facility being
reclassified to current.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet transactions entered into during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007. Off-balance sheet arrangements include any contractual arrangement with
an entity not reported on a consolidated basis with us. We did not have any obligations under
guaranteed contracts for financing instruments, a retained or contingent interest in assets
transferred to an unconsolidated entity, any obligations under derivative interests or any special
purpose entity transactions.
Transactions with Related Parties
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a one-year arrangement with a then
member of its Board of Directors for professional services to be provided in connection with the
Companys long-term debt refinancing and strategic alternatives process. The agreement provides for
maximum base compensation of $300,000. During 2006, in addition to base salary payments, the
director earned and was paid $240,000 in connection with the Companys debt refinancing and a
$210,000 discretionary bonus, of which $60,000 was paid in 2006 and $150,000 was paid in the first
quarter of 2007 and $185,000 was paid in the third quarter of 2007.
Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements which reflect managements expectations
regarding the Companys future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects
and opportunities. Statements about the Companys future plans and intentions, results, levels of
activity, performance, goals or achievements or other future events constitute forward-looking
statements. Wherever possible, words such as may, should, could, expect, plan, intend,
anticipate, believe, estimate, predict or potential or the negative or other variations
of these words, or other similar words or phrases, have been used to identify these forward-looking
statements. These statements reflect managements current beliefs and are based on information
currently available to management. Forward-looking statements involve significant risk,
uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, including those discussed under section 1A Risk
Factors of this Report Form 10-Q could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors
should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are
based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure
investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this MD&A, and the Company assumes no
obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by
law.

Non-GAAP Measures
The term Direct Contribution Margin (DCM) consists of revenue less direct expense and
excludes general and administrative expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), non-cash stock-based
compensation, (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, depreciation, amortization of customer
contracts, interest and loan fees, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on
extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (recovery). DCM, as referred to in
this discussion and analysis, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by
other issuers. We believe that this term provides a better assessment of the contribution of the
field operations dealing directly with our customers subscribers by eliminating: (1) the general
and administrative costs that are not part of the direct costs of generating revenue; (2) the
charge for customer contracts and depreciation which are non-cash expense items; and (3) (gain)
loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on extinguishment of
debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating
activity. Investors should be cautioned, however, that DCM should not be construed as an
alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as
an indicator of our performance. For a reconciliation of DCM to the comparable U.S. GAAP measure,
loss from continuing operations, see Direct Contribution Margin.
The term EBITDA from continuing operations refers to income from continuing operations
before deducting depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, (gain) loss in sale of
investments and assets, interest and loan fees, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives,
gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (recovery). EBITDA from
continuing operations, as referred to in this MD&A, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any
standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar
measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that EBITDA from continuing operations
provides a better assessment of cash flow from the Companys operations by eliminating: (1) the
charge for depreciation, and amortization of customer contracts which are non-cash expense items
and (2) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on fair market value of derivatives, gain on
extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of
operating activity. In addition, financial analysts and investors use a multiple of EBITDA from
continuing operations for valuing companies within the same sector, in order to eliminate the
differences in accounting treatment from one company to the next. Given that the Company is in a
growth stage, we believe the focus on EBITDA from continuing operations gives the investor or
reader of the Companys consolidated financial statements and MD&A more insight into the operating
capabilities of management and its utilization of the Companys operating assets. Management
further believes that EBITDA from continuing operations is also the best metric for measuring the
Companys valuation. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA from continuing operations
should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in
accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of the Companys performance. For a reconciliation of
EBITDA from continuing operations to the comparable GAAP measure, being income (loss) from
continuing operations, see EBITDA from Continuing Operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and fluctuations in
foreign currency rates. The Companys long-term debt is a variable rate credit facility that
exposes the Company to interest rate risk. The interest rates on the Companys long-term debt
range from prime plus 3% to prime plus 5%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 10% to 12%, and
are therefore subject to risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. An assumed one percentage
point increase in interest rates would have the effect of increasing interest expense by
approximately $0.1 million. The company has Canadian subsidiaries included in its consolidated
statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets and is subject to fluctuations in the
exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive
officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive
officer and chief financial and accounting officer initially concluded that as of September 30,
2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC).
41
Subsequently, due to the existence of a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting related to the proper classification of our debt, as discussed in the following
paragraph, our management carried out an additional evaluation, with the participation of our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2007.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in,
Internal Control-Integrated Framework,
issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This assessment identified a
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of
appropriate review in determining the proper classification of our debt. Specifically, we failed
to identify and properly apply the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-22,
Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements that
Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Arrangement (EITF 95-22). Based on
this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
ineffective as December 31, 2007.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On August 24, 2007, we completed a plan of arrangement, at which time 180 Connect (Canada)
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We are currently in the process of assessing and
integrating 180 Connect (Canada)s internal control over financial reporting into our internal
control over financial reporting. Other than with respect to such integration and the issue noted
above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three
months ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, internal control over financial reporting.
