1.
Basis of presentation:
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ending March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004 or for any other period.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Unity Wireless Corporations (the Corporation) annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. Except as indicated in note 2(a), the accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements filed with the Corporations annual report.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Operations to date have been significantly financed by short-term debt and equity transactions. At March 31, 2004, the Corporation requires additional financing to continue to operate at current levels throughout the next year. Accordingly, the Corporations future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the continued support of creditors and stockholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that the Corporation will be successful. If it is not, the Corporation will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. The Corporation will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Significant accounting policies:
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in the Corporations financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, except for note 2(a):

Significant accounting policies (continued):
(a)
Stock-based compensation:
On January 1, 2004, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Corporation, the employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2004 is the same as that which would have been recognized for the current three month period had the recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, been applied from its original effective date. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
Had compensation cost been retroactively determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for those options issued to employees and consultants, consistent with the method described in SFAS No. 123, the Corporations loss and loss per common share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations of Unity Wireless Corporation should be read in conjunction with our most recent financial statements and notes appearing: (1) in this Form 10-QSB; and (2) the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed on March 29, 2004.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Operations to date have been primarily financed by borrowing and equity transactions. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the continued support of creditors and stockholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful. If we are not, we will be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements. The auditors' report on the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 contained in the 10-KSB filed on March 29, 2004, includes an explanatory paragraph that states that as we have suffered recurring losses from operations, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audited consolidated financial statements or the interim quarterly unaudited consolidated financial statements included with this quarterly report do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.

General
We are in the business of designing, developing and manufacturing RF (radio frequency) subsystems including high power linear RF amplifiers and specialized integrated communications products targeting both the cellular and fixed wireless markets, referred to as wireless local loop. Wireless local loop networks are sometimes referred to as "the last mile" solution - unlike cellular phone systems which are mobile wireless networks, wireless local loop is designed to deliver voice and high speed data (e.g., Internet) services to fixed locations such as homes and small offices without the need for special wiring via wireless communication devices. Most of our products are high power amplifiers, defined as single and multi-channel power amplifiers used for sending signals from a network to a terminal such as a cell phone. Our products are used in base stations and repeaters that are used to extend coverage in cellular telephone networks. Some products are also used in base station equipment.
Results of Operations
Three months Ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003
Sales
Net sales in the first quarter of 2004 increased by 119% or $413,515, to $760,382 from $346,867 in the first quarter of 2003. This increase was largely the result of the realization of projects in our customer base and a general improvement in the telecommunications industry.
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses
Cost of goods sold during the first quarter of 2004 increased by 36%, or $138,429, to $519,748 from $381,319 in the first quarter of 2003. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold decreased from the first quarter of 2003 to the first quarter of 2004, primarily as a result of various efficiencies we introduced. Cost of goods sold includes stock-based compensation expense (recovery) of $919 in 2004 versus $nil in 2003.
The gross margin of $240,634, or 32% of net sales, for the first quarter of 2004 represented an increase from a gross margin of $(34,452) for the first quarter of 2003. This was largely due to various efficiencies we introduced. In addition, in 2003 we were not able to reduce certain indirect costs proportionately with lower revenues.
Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2004 increased by 19%, or $37,449, to $237,373 from $199,924 in the first quarter of 2003. Net of stock-based compensation, research and development expenses increased by $13,408. This increase was primarily due to increased research and development project and related expenditures resulting in additional engineering personnel on staff during the first quarter of 2004 versus the first quarter of 2003. Research and development expenses include stock-based compensation expense (recovery) of $6,804 in 2004 versus $(17,237) in 2003.
Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2004 increased by 47%, or $42,988, to $134,407 from $91,419 in the first quarter of 2003. Net of stock-based compensation, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $2,402. The decrease was a net effect of increased tradeshow and travel expenses to visit new customers and distributors offset by a decrease in commissions due to a lower commission structure. Sales and marketing expenses include stock-based compensation expense (recovery) of $25,584 in 2004 versus $(19,806) in 2003.
17
Exchange (gain) loss in the first quarter of 2004 increased by $25,264, to an exchange loss of $14,333 from an exchange gain of $(10,931) in the first quarter of 2003 due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rate between the U.S. and Canada. Our company's revenues are received in U.S. dollars, while the majority of expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars.
General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2004 increased by 210%, or $318,940, to $470,639 from $151,699 in 2003. Net of stock-based compensation, general and administrative expenses increased by $29,184. The change was the net result of an increase of $37,534 in corporate expenses due to additional financing and investor relation activities, an increase of $1,445 in facility expenses, and a decrease in other general and administrative costs of 10% or $9,795 to $86,062 from $95,857 largely resulting from general cost cutting measures. General and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation expense (recovery) of $260,716 in 2004 versus $(29,040) for 2003.
Loss in the first quarter of 2004 increased by $241,548, to $662,902, from $421,354 in the first quarter of 2003. Net of stock-based compensation expense (recovery) of $294,023 in 2004 versus $(66,083) in 2003, the loss for the 2004 period decreased by $118,558. The decrease was largely the result of improved gross margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have been dependent on investment capital as our primary source of liquidity. We had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2004 of $(19,165,982). During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss, after stock-based compensation, of $(662,902).
During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, our cash position decreased. The primary use of cash was for our continued operations. We currently are in various stages of discussion with our suppliers regarding extended payment terms for their respective outstanding March 31, 2004 accounts payable balances.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, we had no material investing activities
During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, we issued 113,405 common shares in settlement of $27,262 of accounts payable, 6,032,150 common shares upon exercise of warrants for cash proceeds of $603,215, 75,000 common shares upon exercise of options for cash proceeds of $11,942, 1,016,105 common shares upon private placement for cash proceeds of $152,416.
Subsequent to March 31, 2004, we issued 5,837,051 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $833,891 on the exercise of warrants. An additional 2,585,192 warrants were issued to the holders, exercisable at $0.50 per share until March 31, 2006.
Other than operating loan commitments and a commitment under existing leases for an aggregate of $413,000 through 2009, we have no material commitments, including capital commitments, outstanding at March 31, 2004.
Our capital requirements are difficult to plan in light of our current strategy to expand our customer base and to develop new products and technologies. Our operations to date have been primarily financed by sales of our equity securities. As of March 31, 2004, we had working capital of $42,827. Our operations presently are generating negative cash flow, and we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining further financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our current products and any new product offerings that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our products and related technologies, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial
18
loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
RISK FACTORS
For information on risk factors refer to Unity Wireless Corporations annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements control objectives. Management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching the level of reasonable assurance regarding managements control objectives.
The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon the foregoing, as of March 31, 2004, the Companys Chief Executive Officer along with the Companys Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys Exchange Act reports. There has been no change during the Companys fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that was identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
Other than as set forth below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
We, along with Sonic Systems Corporation and M&M Realty Incorporated, have been sued in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, by Integrated Global Financial Corporation. The lawsuit was commenced on January 5, 2001. Integrated Global alleges it has options to purchase 500,000 shares, with no expiry date, at an alleged exercise price of $1.00 per share, plus unspecified damages. We
19
dispute the allegations and are defending the claim. A trial date has been set in September 2004. No Examinations for Discovery have been conducted or have been scheduled. The matter is at a very preliminary stage. It is our view that the claim has little, if any, merit and we do not expect the proceeding to have any material adverse effect on us. It is our position that these options have expired and we have not included such options in our outstanding options at March 31, 2004.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
During the three month period ended March 31, 2004, the Corporation issued 113,405 common shares in settlement of $27,262 of accounts payable, 6,032,150 common shares upon exercise of warrants for cash proceeds of $603,215, 75,000 common shares upon exercise of options for cash proceeds of $11,942, 1,016,105 common shares upon private placement for cash proceeds of $152,416.
Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the Corporation issued 5,837,051 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $833,891 on the exercise of warrants. An additional 2,585,192 warrants were issued to the holders, exercisable at $0.50 per share until March 31, 2006.
These newly issued securities were issued in private placements in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Submissions of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
Item 5. Other Information.
Stockholder nomination procedures:

Under these procedures, a stockholder that proposes to nominate a candidate for director or propose other business at an annual meeting of stockholders, must give us written notice of such nomination or proposal not less than 60 days and not more than 90 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting (or, if less than 70 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given, then not later than the 15th day following the earlier of (i) the date such notice was mailed or (ii) the day such public disclosure was made).
