Stockgroup Information Systems Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial media and technology company that provides various financial software solutions, tools, content and services to media, corporate, and financial services companies.

The Company also provides Internet communications products for publicly traded companies and an online research center for the investment community through its Stockhouse and Smallcapcenter financial web sites.

The Company was incorporated under the laws of Colorado on December 6, 1994.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.

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

3. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company measures compensation expense for all of its Stock Option Plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by Statement of Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 148”).

The following table provides pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense:

For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the stock options is amortized over the stock options’ vesting period.

The pro forma effects of applying SFAS 123 for the periods presented are not likely to be representative of the pro forma effects of future periods as the number of stock options, their fair value at the date of grant and the vesting schedules thereof vary widely from quarter to quarter.

The weighted average assumptions used and the resulting estimates of weighted average fair value of stock options granted are as follows:

4. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires a public business enterprise to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. The Company has concluded that its business activities fall into one identifiable business segment with the following sources of revenue:

During the first three months of 2004 and 2003 the Company had no customers from whom revenue received by the Company represented greater than 10% of total revenue, and no customers which constituted greater than 10% of accounts receivable at the end of each three month period.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is currently involved in litigation with a customer to collect amounts owing pursuant to a contract entered into in September 2000. The defendant provided a $100,000 deposit and contracted the Company to provide certain advertising services. The Company delivered the requested services throughout October and November 2000; however, the defendant defaulted on all additional payments. The Company is suing the defendant for the $351,800 balance owing, plus interest and costs. The defendant has filed a statement of defense and counterclaim to recover the $100,000 deposit. No court date has been set at this time. Although management currently believes the outcome of the litigation will be in the Company’s favor, they have not elected to aggressively pursue the litigation at this time. The Company has made no provision for the counterclaim in the financial statements and any settlement or final award will be reflected in the statement of operations in the period the litigation is resolved.

In addition, the Company is subject to various other legal matters in the ordinary course of business. It is not possible at this time to predict with any certainty the outcome of such litigation. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) and in December 2003 issued a revision to FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests in a variable interest entity to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A variable interest entity is an entity that has (1) equity investment at risk that is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from the other parties, (2) a group of equity owners that are unable to make substantive decision’s about the entity’s activities, or (3) equity that does not absorb the entity’s losses or receive the benefits of the entity. FIN 46, as applied to small business issuers, is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The initial adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For variable interest entities that are not special purpose entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46R is effective for the Company’s first reporting period after December 15, 2004. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this adoption of FIN 46R will have on its results of operations and financial condition; however, it does not expect the adoption of FIN 46R will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND MARCH 31, 2003

While our services can be categorized into two major divisions, there are two basic commonalities between them -- the stock markets and the internet. Popular interest in the stock markets is very important to our business. Our audience at Stockhouse is closely correlated with the popularity of the markets, and accordingly a larger audience may translate into larger advertising revenues for us over the long term. Our Financial Software and Content Systems business is driven by the demand for market information by our clients’ user base. Our Public Company Disclosure and Awareness Products are in greater demand when there is greater overall activity in the stock of small companies.

The Internet is the delivery vehicle for virtually all of our products. We believe it has not yet reached maturity and continues to reach new levels of sophistication. Increasing numbers of people are using the Internet as a source of stock market information. As a result, financial content is becoming an expected standard offering for media and financial websites. Our Financial Software and Content Systems clients, including large news Web sites, brokerages, portals, and other media are encountering competitive pressures to improve their financial content. This market expansion has driven demand for our services and has resulted in continued sales growth over the past 12 months.

Financial Software and Content Systems (FSCS) revenue has grown by 80% when comparing Q1 04 to Q1 03. The reason for the growth is that our licensing agreements are generally two years in duration, with successive renewal periods of one year each. Each month we add new monthly licensing agreements which layer onto the existing agreements, producing steady revenue growth.

Our Public Company Disclosure and Awareness Products (PCDAP) revenue includes general advertising. The 71% growth between Q1 03 and Q1 04 is due in part to increased market demand for public company exposure. Public companies often are faced with the problem of communicating their results and future prospects to the investment community at a minimum of cost. We have developed a certain level of access to the investment community through our Stockhouse and Smallcapcenter Web sites, and through direct contact with investors. Other reasons for the growth are our larger, more experienced sales staff compared to one year ago, and increased general awareness in the marketplace of the types and value of our services. Our access and Stockhouse brand name give us the ability to provide a range of exposure for smaller companies. This exposure is highly valued, and is normally sold as a comprehensive monthly program which gives the client sustained and multi-faceted exposure to potential investors. Commercial advertising on Stockhouse consists of various types of banner and box ads which appear on a rotating basis on the Stockhouse and Smallcapcenter Web sites.

Our cost of revenues consists of bandwidth, data feeds, and direct production labor. Bandwidth costs are correlated with our Stockhouse traffic, both of which have increased from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2004. We have incurred a number of incremental increases in our data feed costs as we have procured higher quality data from our vendors over the past six months. In addition, the various stock exchanges have recently charged new or increased fees for data access. To date the stock exchange fees have not had a material impact on our overall costs. Overall, the increases in data feed costs we have experienced have been small compared to our sales growth.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $158K for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 when compared with the same period in fiscal 2003 due primarily to an increase in the number of sales staff from 10 to 14 full time members. The compensation and training expense arising from this increase in sales staff accounts for the increase in sales and marketing expense year over year, and we believe this will increase revenue in the long term. In addition, we experienced increased commissions expense due to increased sales.

General and administrative expense increased by a total of $51K for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in fiscal 2003. This increase is due to several factors, most notably payroll for our increased staff size and rent for our expanded Toronto location.

Cash interest expense for Q1 of fiscal 2004 consists of interest on capital leases, and in Q1 of fiscal 2003 it consisted of interest on capital leases and notes payable. The $213K of Non-cash interest for Q1 03 arose out of the conversion of our 8% convertible notes in January 2003 and the related acceleration of the amortization of the debt discount. Other income consists of gains on marketable securities.

No income tax expense was recorded in either Q1 of fiscal 2004 and Q1 of fiscal 2003, due to our net loss position in each quarter. As at December 31, 2003, we had tax loss carry forwards of $4,836K in Canada which expire as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net loss for the first three months of 2004 was $58K compared to a loss of $468K in the first three months 2003, a decrease in the loss of $410K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ended Q1 04 with cash and cash equivalents of $1,493K, an increase of $93K from December 31, 2003. Our cash from (used in) operations for the past 4 quarters is as follows:

Q2 2003

(222K)

Q3 2003

(152K)

Q4 2003

288K

Q1 2004

127K

We finished Q1 04 with no debt, other than $15K in capital lease payments due in Q2 2004.

Our cash balance is expected to provide enough liquidity to help us through the next stage of our growth and to finance any planned asset acquisitions, including computer hardware upgrades.

We do not foresee declaring any cash dividends in the immediate future.

You should be cautioned that there can be no assurance that revenue, margins, and profitability will increase. There is a risk that our current cash balance will not be adequate for our long term needs, in which case we would need to raise additional financing through equity or debt issues. See the Risks section of this document for additional risk areas.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe the following critical accounting policies require significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

Financial Software and Content Systems services consist of managing, licensing, and delivering financial market information. Examples of financial market information are real time stock quotes, stock charts, public company profiles, investment information and technical stock analysis. We use formal service agreements, which are typically for 24-

Page 13 of 25

Stockgroup Information Systems Inc.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

month terms. Under the service agreements we normally charge our clients a set up fee, a fixed monthly fee, and additional fees for usage beyond the threshold specified in the agreement. Usage usually refers to Web site page views by the client’s end users. Revenue from set up fees and fixed monthly licensing fees for ongoing use of financial tools and content is recognized ratably over the agreement term.

All Financial Software and Content Systems services are delivered via the Internet from our Web servers to the clients’ Web sites on a continuous real time basis. Revenue is earned starting on the day the service is activated by our production department. We monitor usage from the day the service is activated and record any usage-based revenue on a monthly basis as it occurs. Many agreements contain service level agreements which specify minimum service standards and remedies, such as billing reductions, for deficiency of service. In cases where a billing adjustment occurs due to a service level deficiency, we reverse the applicable revenue in the month where the deficiency occurred.

Public Company Disclosure and Awareness Products consist of investor relations Web page tools, client profiling on our investment-oriented Web sites, e-mail services, sponsorships and Internet advertising services. These services are sold either individually or bundled together into comprehensive programs.

Investor relations Web page tools, sold under the name IntegrateIR, are delivered to the client’s investor relations page of their Web site via an Internet data feed, in real time and on a continuous basis for an agreed period of time, normally 12 months. Revenue is recognized evenly, according to the agreed fixed rate, on a monthly basis once the IntegrateIR data feed has been activated. Setup fees, if any, are recognized ratably over the initial term of the agreement, on a monthly basis.

Client advertising on our investment-oriented Web sites consists of continuous or rotating client profiles on various specialized Web pages within Stockhouse.com, Smallcapcenter.com and Investormarketplace.com. Delivery of these profiles is based either on a certain number of days appearing on the Web pages or a certain quantity of page views, profile views or click-throughs, depending on the agreement. A page view is a single instance of an Internet user viewing the page which contains the client’s name and/or logo. A profile view is a single instance of an Internet user clicking on the client’s profile link. A click-through is a single instance of an Internet user clicking on the client’s profile and being redirected to the client’s Web site. Revenue is recognized on such client profile programs based on delivery, and delivery is organized and measured to equal the agreed monthly fee in each month the client is profiled on the Web pages.

E-mail services are mailings to a targeted list of e-mail addresses, with delivery consisting solely of transmitting the mailing to the e-mail targets. E-mail services may be bought on a per-transmittal basis, for which revenue is recorded when the transmittal occurs, or on a fixed-fee monthly basis in which the client receives access to a fixed number of transmittals per month. We record the revenue on the fixed-fee monthly e-mail services on a pro rata basis over the term of the agreement.

Internet advertising on our Web sites are delivered and revenue earned on a page-view basis, as this term is defined above. Advertising insertion orders are obtained from clients and advertisements are delivered in a set rotation on www.stockhouse.com, www.stockhouse.ca, and others. At the end of certain specified period, usually monthly, the client is given a page-view delivery report and billed according to the number of page-views delivered.

All sources of revenue are recorded pursuant to SAB 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of services has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Pursuant to EITF 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, when the services are provided in a multiple elements arrangement, revenue is allocated to each respective deliverable based on its relative fair value and recognized when the criteria under SAB 101 have been met.

Page 14 of 25

Stockgroup Information Systems Inc.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

Payments received in advance of services provided, including deposits, are recorded as deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues is recorded if the cost relates directly to the services we sell or to our revenue-generating Web sites, namely Stockhouse.com/ca, Smallcapcenter.com, and InvestorMarketPlace.com. Cost of revenues consist of subscription fees for access to data feeds of financial and business databases, Internet bandwidth, direct advertising purchases, and direct labor. Data feeds are a key component of many of our Financial Software and Content Systems services, as well as a key input into our revenue-generating Web sites. Bandwidth is consumed by our revenue-generating Web sites, by our Financial Software and Content Systems services, by our IntegrateIR service, and by our e-mail mailing services. Direct labor is the hourly labor cost of certain programmers and designers who implement or maintain licensed client feeds, design advertising for clients, and produce e-mail mailings for clients. Direct labor costs are fully recognized as cost of revenues in the period in which the associated revenue is recognized. All other costs of revenues are recognized in the period incurred.

Property and Equipment

We evaluate, on a periodic basis, our property and equipment, to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. We base our evaluation on certain impairment indicators, such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If these impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, we then use an estimate of the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash flows to determine whether the asset is recoverable and measure the amount of any impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using valuation techniques such as market prices for similar assets or discounted future operating cash flows.

Amortization of property and equipment is on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated useful life.

Contingencies

From time to time, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to labor and other matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these contingencies as well as potential ranges of probable losses and establish reserves accordingly. We use professional judgment, legal advice, and estimates in the assessment of outcomes of contingencies. The amounts of reserve required, if any, may change in future periods due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach to a matter such as a change in settlement strategy.

We are currently involved in litigation with a customer to collect amounts owing pursuant to a contract entered into in September 2000. The defendant provided a $100,000 deposit and contracted us to provide certain advertising services. We delivered the requested services throughout October and November 2000; however, the defendant defaulted on all additional payments. We are suing the defendant for the $351,800 balance owing, plus interest and costs. The defendant has filed a statement of defense and counterclaim to recover the $100,000 deposit. No court date has been set at this time. Although our management currently believes the outcome of the litigation will be in our favor, they have not elected to aggressively pursue the litigation at this time. We have made no provision for the counterclaim in the financial statements and any settlement or final

Page 15 of 25

Stockgroup Information Systems Inc.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

award will be reflected in the statement of operations in the period the litigation is resolved.

In addition, we are subject to various other legal matters in the ordinary course of business. It is not possible at this time to predict with any certainty the outcome of such litigation. Our management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters would not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS MODEL

GENERAL

Stockgroup is a financial media and technology company. We license financial market data, content, and tools, which our customers use on their Web sites or intranets. We also operate Stockhouse.com and Stockhouse.ca. All of our services are delivered via the Internet.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

We have experience and understanding of Internet-based financial technology and media. Using a common technology infrastructure, we have developed two main revenue sources. They are Financial Software and Content Systems and Public Company Disclosure & Awareness Products.

Financial Software and Contents Systems

We have developed proprietary financial applications and tools we license to clients. The clients for Financial Software and Content Systems come from many different industries, such as news media, banking, stock brokerages, leasing, insurance and others. We provide the tools on a private-labeled basis, and they are typically sold in licensing contracts of 24 months. These long-term contracts generate stable, recurring revenue streams.

Many of the tools are data-feed driven. We either feed data from our own aggregated databases or from third parties. The advantage of using the Stockgroup tools is that the customer is able to receive data and information from a variety of different feeds all from point of contact and at a fraction of the cost of purchasing all feeds individually. We also add value by customizing, filtering and sorting data in the configuration the customer wants. We are able to use our economies of scale and automation to give a service that is efficiently delivered and customized, and at a substantial costs savings to having the customer build and manage it internally.

Examples of some of the providers of third-party data feeds include Zacks, Reuters, Marketguide, Comtex, Multex, Bell Globe Media and North American Quotations.

We sell our Financial Software and Content Systems services through content and application syndicates, such as YellowBrix, through channel resellers such as The Associated Press, The Canadian Press, and through our own direct sales team. These financial tools, applications and content systems cover the entire North American market including mutual funds, commodities and equities.

We have built and maintain our proprietary data processing solution that aggregates the multiple feeds, translates and builds a common database infrastructure. Our system then cleans, filters and maintains the data for use by our various data-driven services. We have a sophisticated server and security system which runs this content/data management system. The data is streamed continuously in real time to our proprietary software applications and our client Web sites, intranets, and print publications.

The following are just a few of our over 25 Financial Software and Content Systems services:

Page 16 of 25

Stockgroup Information Systems Inc.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

Real-time stock quotes on major U.S. exchanges;
North American 20-minute delayed stock quotes and indices;
Stock portfolio management, live portfolio updates and wireless portfolio updates;
Most active stock updates;
Stock watch lists;
Company fundamentals, regulatory filings;
Daily stock market winners/losers, most actives;
Company profiles, stock screening (investment data) and technical stock analysis; and
Employee stock option calculations.

The Financial Software and Content Systems applications are delivered to customers in four different formats:

On a hosted basis where the content and private-labeled interface is hosted by Stockgroup and streamed to the customers’ Internet or Intranet site;
Through software objects residing on the customers’ servers which use a proprietary interface to retrieve data from our servers;
Through a secured Internet channel to a client’s proprietary interface; or
Through different wireless devices and modes including handheld devices, pagers and portals which have been built and maintained by us.

Public Company Disclosure and Awareness Products

We have developed and own a large array of Public Company Disclosure and Awareness Products. These services are used by clients to either (a) manage their investor relations and shareholder communications through their Web site, (b) generate awareness for their publicly listed company, (c) improve their U.S. and Canadian public disclosure compliance by automatically posting press releases and other disclosure items on their Web site or (d) advertise their products and services.

Products and services offered in this service area include the IntegrateIR investor relations Web page system, Investor Marketplace, News Blast, Sector Supplement, Internet advertising and other online investor marketing services. These services are either sold individually or as bundled comprehensive programs.

Public companies are increasingly outsourcing the Internet portion of their investor relations and awareness activities. In some cases this is because they lack the internal skills and resources, and in other cases it is more effective and cost efficient than in-house development and maintenance. Our understanding of this market segment has enabled us to develop a highly specialized bundle of services including: private label quotes, charts and database tools for building relationships with shareholders, and traffic reports to track investor usage of Web sites and inquiries.

Other awareness services for public companies include the following:

Investor Marketplace (IMP), a Web page which is actively marketed through advertising to draw readers, where companies can be featured online to prospective investors. Being featured on the IMP enables customers to get their name, profile and Internet link in front of a large investor audience that they may not otherwise be able to attain.

E-mail Services sold under the names Stockhouse News Blast, Special Situation Alert, and NewsHotline, which are purchased by our clients to help them disseminate their news releases and other information to a select list of investors. Our e-mail lists consist of subscribers who have opted to receive our mailings and confirmed their subscription a second time, a process known as ‘double opt-in’. We take great care to ensure that recipients actually want the e-mails we send them. Our policies regarding e-mail exceed the requirements of U.S. and Canadian unsolicited e-mail laws and other private agencies who attempt to regulate, filter, and prevent the use of unsolicited e-mail.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

Sector Supplements, which are a spotlight feature on a certain industry sector, such as energy, mining, biotech or technology, are an effective exposure tool for companies. In a Sector Supplement investors are drawn to a section of Stockhouse.com that features up to 15 companies and contains industry-specific news and information. Investors who visit this Web site can view each of the featured companies’ profiles, request information or link directly to the client’s own Web site.

Advertising, which is shown on Stockhouse.com and Stockhouse.ca on a prescribed rotation, is another way for clients to get the attention of a targeted investor audience, or to establish a brand presence or sales of their products.

The Stockhouse network offers content aggregation from hundreds of sources, a comprehensive equities database and the Internet’s first syndicated message forums, the BullBoards™. The three Web sites attract investors in a number of global markets, including the USA, Canada and Australia.

COMPETITION

The market for our Internet products and services is relatively new and has been highly fragmented, but we have seen a trend toward consolidation of the market in recent months. We compete intensely with other companies providing services similar to ours. Many of those services are commodity-like and not easily differentiated. Our competition includes direct competitors such as Big Charts, a division of CBS MarketWatch. We also compete with companies such as CCBN and Shareholder.com for the sale of our IntegrateIR disclosure and awareness services. Our competition in the advertising market includes other financial and business related Web sites such as TheStreet.com, Globeandmail.com and Yahoo! Finance. We expect our competitors to remain strong as the Internet industry further consolidates.

CORPORATE BACKGROUND

We are a United States reporting public company incorporated in 1994 and registered in Colorado. Our shares are quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol SWEB and are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SWB. Our head office is in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

From 1995 to 1999 we operated a financial markets publishing business and Web site aimed at small and micro-cap clients. It was essentially a smaller-scale version of what we do today with Stockhouse.

We used the funds from a public offering in the spring of 1999 to provide the foundation for the development and mass marketing of our services. In October 1999 we launched Smallcapcenter.com. At that time we believed that a subscription/ advertising model centering around small cap content was viable. While parts of this business model did not prove to be profitable, the exercise of building Smallcapcenter and its related investment tools gave us certain experience and skills, and a suite of service products to sell commercially.

From 2001 to 2002 we expanded our awareness and disclosure service line to include Sector Supplements and automated investor relations Web page tools such as the IntegrateIR. We already had a public company customer base, so the transition into this area was a natural extension of our core competencies.

We entered the Financial Software and Content Systems market late in 2000 by licensing our proprietary financial tools, content and applications to customers who need to offer financial information to their customers or improve their content offering. We had access to an array of customers through our internal sales team as well as our reseller channels. Our licensed content model is attractive to customers because it is a comprehensive and cost effective alternative to in-house development.

On June 24, 2002, under an agreement with Stockhouse Media Corporation, we acquired a 65% interest in the Web site and certain related assets to run the Stockhouse brand Web sites. We issued 2,080,000 common shares in exchange for the interest in the Stockhouse Media Corporation assets and we control and manage the operations of the assets and receive the revenue to our account. Due to certain provisions in the agreement, we have the option of acquiring the remaining 35% of the assets for between 920,000 and 1,120,000 of our common shares based on a revenue/profit formula. The transaction was completed with an arms length party, although one of the principals of Stockhouse Media Corporation has since become one of our directors.

That transaction provided several key benefits to us including the addition of the Stockhouse brand product line to our service offering and the integration of assets into our business. The assets include Web site software systems, databases and programs needed to run Stockhouse.com.

On July 23, 2002 we became a reporting issuer in Canada and on December 17, 2002, we were listed and began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada.

Our corporate Web site is www.stockgroup.com.

DIVIDENDS

The Company has not declared any dividends since inception, and has no intention of paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The payment by the Company of dividends, if any, in the future, rests with the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon the Company's earnings, its capital requirements and its financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of inherent limitations on any systems of disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all errors or fraud, if any, within a Company may be detected.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently involved in litigation in British Columbia Supreme Court with a former customer, Pacific Capital Markets Inc. or PCMI, to collect amounts owing pursuant to a contract entered into in September, 2000. The defendant provided a $100,000 deposit and contracted us to provide certain lead generation services. We delivered the requested services throughout October and November, 2000, however, the defendant defaulted on all additional payments. We are suing the defendant for the $351,800 balance owing, plus interest and costs. The defendant has filed a statement of defense and counterclaim to recover the $100,000 deposit. As of the date of this filing no further action had been taken by either party and no court date has been set. Although we currently believe the outcome of the litigation will be in our favor, we have not elected to aggressively pursue the litigation at this time. We have made no provision for the counterclaim in the financial statements and any settlement or final award will be reflected in our statement of operations in the period the litigation is resolved.

We have been named as a defendant in a lawsuit in Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench by plaintiffs Black Strap Hospitality, Harold Lane and Derek Neis. The plaintiffs have brought the action seeking damages for defamation in the amount of C$100,000 plus pre-judgment interest. The alleged defamation was caused by certain members of our Bull

Page 20 of 25

Stockgroup Information Systems Inc.

Form 10-QSB March 31, 2004

Boards investment discussion forum on www.stockhouse.com/ca. We have responded to the action by providing, under court order, information on the Bull Boards members specified in the court order. We expect to be released from this litigation without incurring significant expense. We have been named in a similar lawsuit in British Columbia Supreme Court by plaintiffs Adanac Gold Corp., Molycor Gold Corp., and Larry Reaugh. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction against John Doe, as well as unnamed damages. We have responded to the action by providing, under court order, information on the Bull Boards members specified in the court order. We expect to be released from this litigation without incurring significant expense.
