Dear Shareholder,


The 2007 Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of Ableauctions.com, Inc. will be held at 11:00 am local time on Friday, September 28, 2007, at Suite 1000 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.   In addition to the items set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement, we will report on current activities and will provide you with an opportunity to discuss matters of interest to you as a shareholder.


We hope that you will be able to attend our Annual Meeting.  However, whether or not you plan to attend, please sign, date, and promptly return the enclosed proxy by mail, or fax it to us to ensure that your shares are represented.


2006 In Review - 2006 was a year of growth and in the process, we made significant progress towards accomplishing many of our objectives and milestones, and we laid the foundation for a number of long term investments that we believe will benefit the company positively in subsequent years.  


Live Auctions and Technology - In the area of live auctions and technology, 2006 was a year of significant achievements.  Auction sessions from our iCollector operations grew over 70% from the previous year, facilitating 951 auction sessions.  Auction sessions from our NAALive operations grew over 100%, facilitating 297 auction sessions.  For the quarter ending June 30, 2007, live auction divisions iCollector and NAALive set a record for the number of auction sessions facilitated in a single quarter.  The operations  reported over 450 auction sessions for the second quarter of 2007, surpassing all previous quarterly numbers.   


We increased revenues from live auctions in 2006 by 80% to approximately $937,000 compared to approximately $500,000 in the previous year.  


Liquidation Business - Revenues from our liquidation business increased.  Revenues from our liquidation business increased by 50% to $4,917,198 from the previous year and accounted for 78% of total revenues.  


Acquisitions and Investments - We have not been successful in finding suitable companies to acquire.  In order to increase shareholder value, we will continue to grow organically and invest any excess capital we have.   As of June 30, 2007 we had working capital of $5,944,569.  On July 23, 2007 we announced that we had decided to use some of our cash to repurchase our common stock from the market because we believe that our common stock is currently undervalued and that retiring shares will benefit our stockholders.  As of the date of this report, we have purchased 244,100 shares at a total cost of $47,891.85.  We intend to continue buying back our common stock from time to time, at the discretion of the board of directors, with our available cash resources.


Our shareholders’ equity in 2006, defined as the carrying amount of the Company’s assets minus its liabilities, increased to $12,890,232 at December 31, 2006.

  

Overall, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we had revenues of $6,243,865 as compared to $4,428,912 during the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 41%.   Our net income for 2006 decreased as we incurred additional operating expense in order to facilitate expansion.   Net income for 2006 was $167,233 as compared to a net income of $437,182  for the year ended December 31, 2005.




Outlook - Over the course of the past few years, we have accomplishing many of our objectives and milestones while maintaining profitability.  We believe that the Company has emerged with an impressive business model and has subsequently laid a solid foundation on which to build an exciting technology company going forward.  The Company is moving forward to expand the Company’s live auction and liquidation businesses, as discussed below.  


The Company’s objective is to become a leading provider of merchandising services through our auction and liquidation channels.  We believe that the long term success in this area of its business depends on our continued innovation and integration of technologies and services for auctioneers and liquidators worldwide.  In order to accomplish this and maintain positive cash flow, we will continue to rely on revenues from our other operations and from our investments.  In 2006, we formed Axion Investment Corporation to manage and expand the Company’s investment business, including real property development and lending.  The return on these investments is expected to help support the development of our liquidation and auction businesses, including the development of new technologies for use by on-line businesses.


In 2006, the we saw significant growth in our live auction services and we expects to continue attracting some of the world’s leading auction houses and service providers to partner with it in delivering our technology and services.  We continue to develop innovative technology that we continuously refine, enabling auction houses to broadcast auctions on the Internet.   We have an established and experienced management team and board of directors, all dedicated to building a significant global technology company.


Looking forward, we plan to increase its services to shareholders in 2007 and to continue to look for ways in which to expand, either by partnering with, or by acquiring, companies that add breadth to our core competencies and enhance our business model.  We look continuously for new ways to produce revenue streams that will benefit the Company in years to come.


With innovative technology, good management and the support of our shareholders, we look forward to achieving our goals in the coming years.



Yours Faithfully,



/s/ Abdul Ladha

The decision to change our independent accountant from Cinammon Jang Willoughby & Company, Chartered Accountants to Telford Sadovnick, PLLC was approved by our Audit Committee.


The report of Cinammon Jang Willoughby & Company, Chartered Accountants on our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion.  During the periods ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and the interim period from January 1, 2006 through the date of dismissal, we did not have any disagreements with Cinammon Jang Willoughby & Company, Chartered Accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cinammon Jang Willoughby & Company, Chartered Accountants, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS


During 2006, the Board of Directors held 15 meetings and all directors were present at each such meeting.  During 2006, the Board of Directors also acted by written consent in lieu of holding meetings.


COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


Our directors did not receive any compensation for their services during the last fiscal year.


Each director is eligible to participate in the 1999 Stock Option Plan and in the Ableauctions.com, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan for Directors (the “Directors’ Plan”).  Grants of options from both the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the Directors’ Plan are discretionary and are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.


COMMUNICATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for shareholders to send communications to its members.  Any shareholder may send a communication to any member of the Board of Directors, in care of our address and we will forward any such communication to the Board member.  If the shareholder would like the communication to be confidential, it should be so marked.


ATTENDANCE OF BOARD MEMBERS AT ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING


We do not have a policy regarding attendance by the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meeting.  The annual meeting held in the 2006 fiscal year was attended by three of our directors.


REPORT ON COMMITTEES


The Board of Directors has one standing committee, which is the Audit Committee.  Information regarding the functions of the Audit Committee, its present membership and the number of meetings held by the Audit Committee during the 2006 fiscal year is described below.


Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors the selection of independent public accountants to audit our books and records annually, to discuss with the independent auditors and internal financial personnel the scope and results of any audit, to review and approve any nonaudit services performed by our independent auditing firm, and to review certain related party transactions.  The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Barrett Sleeman and Dr. David Vogt.  The Audit Committee met five times during the 2006 fiscal year.


The Audit Committee is currently composed of two directors who are independent directors as defined under Rule 121 of the American Stock Exchange.  The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors.  We do not believe that any of the members of the Audit Committee would qualify as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as defined by Item 401 of Regulation SB promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  However, members of our audit committee each have some of the attributes of an audit committee financial expert, and we believe that the collective experience and education of the members of our audit committee provide us with the expertise that an audit committee financial expert could provide.  We are in compliance with section 121 of the Rules of the American Stock Exchange, which requires that at least one member of our Audit Committee is financially sophisticated.  We believe that both Mr. Barrett Sleeman and Dr. David Vogt meet the criteria of financial sophistication.


REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE


The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.  Management is responsible for our financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls.  The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.  In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements that have been included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.


The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.  In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from the Company and its management including the matters in the written disclosures provided to the Audit Committee as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.


The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the 2006 fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Members of the Audit Committee


/s/Barrett Sleeman

/s/Dr. David Vogt


NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS


We do not have, nor are we required by the rules of the American Stock Exchange to have, a standing nominating or compensation committee.  Our Board of Directors is made up of four members, three of whom are deemed to be “independent”, as that term is defined in the rules of the American Stock Exchange.  Nominees to the Board of Directors were selected and approved by our three independent Board members, Mr. Barrett Sleeman, Dr. David Vogt and Mr. Michael Boyling.


The Board of Directors, acting as a Nominating Committee, does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by shareholders.  The Board of Directors has made no determination as to whether or not such a policy should be adopted.  The Board of Directors will consider candidates recommended by shareholders.  Shareholders wishing to recommend a candidate for membership on the Board of Directors should submit to us the name of the individual and other pertinent information, including a short biography and contact information, in the manner described below in this Proxy Statement in the section titled “Shareholder Proposals”.


Some, but not all, of the qualifications that may be considered by the Board of Directors in choosing a director are:


·

Minimum, relevant employment experience;

·

Familiarity with generally accepted accounting principles and the preparation of financial statements;

·

Post secondary education or professional license;

·

Previous experience as a Board member of an operating company; and

·

The ability to commit the number of hours per year necessary to discharge his or her duty as a member of its Board of Directors.


A candidate for director must agree to abide by our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.


Our goal is to seek to achieve a balance of knowledge and experience on our Board.  To this end, we seek nominees with the highest professional and personal ethics and values, an understanding of our business and industry, diversity of business experience and expertise, a high level of education, broad-based business acumen, and the ability to think strategically.  Although we use the criteria listed above as well as other criteria to evaluate potential nominees, we do not have a stated minimum criteria for nominees.  The Board does not use different standards to evaluate nominees depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our shareholders.  To date, we have not paid any third parties to assist us in finding director nominees.


The Board of Directors has not received a nominee from a shareholder who is not also an officer or director of Ableauctions.  Each nominee to our Board of Directors expressed a willingness to serve during the 2007 fiscal year and, based on a review of his qualifications, each was deemed to be a suitable candidate for nomination.

The number of shares shown as beneficially owned in the tables below are calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Rule 13d-3(d)(1), shares not outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by such person, but not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed.

To our knowledge, none of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any 5% or greater shareholder of our common stock, or any associate or any such directors, officers or affiliates, is a party that is adverse to us in any material legal proceeding.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.


To our knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from the reporting persons, we believe that during our 2006 fiscal year our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table


Our compensation program consists of the following three components:


·

base salary;

·

bonuses; and

·

awards of options to purchase common stock from our 1999 Stock Option Plan and, for directors, our 2002 Stock Option Plan for Directors.


We believe that a combination of cash and options will allow us to attract and retain the services of the individuals who will help us achieve our business objectives, thereby increasing value for our shareholders.


In setting the compensation for our sole executive officer, our Board of Directors looked primarily at his responsibilities, at salaries paid to others in businesses comparable to ours, at his experience and at our ability to replace him.  We expect Mr. Ladha’s salary to remain relatively constant unless his responsibilities are materially changed.


Bonuses are used to reward exceptional performance, either by the individual or by the company.  Bonuses are discretionary.  No bonuses were granted to our executive officer during the 2006 fiscal year.


Option Grants in the Last Fiscal Year


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company did not grant stock options to its named executive officers or directors.

Employment Agreements


We have an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Abdul Ladha, which is dated April 1, 2002.  The term of the agreement commenced as of April 1, 2002 and will continue until Mr. Ladha dies or is permanently disabled, we terminate the agreement for cause, we and Mr. Ladha mutually agree to terminate the agreement, Mr. Ladha elects to terminate the agreement or we elect to terminate the agreement.  If Mr. Ladha elects to terminate the agreement, he must give us at least 90 days written notice of his intent to terminate.  If we elect to terminate the agreement, we must give Mr. Ladha written notice equal to no less than the greater of one year or two months for each year of completed service.  In lieu of such notice, we can pay Mr. Ladha compensation for the notice period.  Mr. Ladha’s cash compensation is $156,000 per year, which may be increased by the Board.  Mr. Ladha also receives an automobile allowance of $500 per month and, upon execution of the agreement, he was granted options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock.


Executive Compensation Standard


While we do not have an independent committee that sets compensation for our sole executive officer, Mr. Abdul Ladha, all the members of our Board, with the exception of Mr. Ladha, are independent as that term is defined by Rule 121 of the American Stock Exchange.  Mr. Ladha’s executive officer compensation is set by these three members, without Mr. Ladha’s participation.  All members of the Board participate when deciding on compensation to be paid for their services.



Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


The following transactions have taken place since the end of our last fiscal year and during the last two fiscal years:


At December 31, 2004, we leased 8,000 square feet of showroom and office space at 1963 Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam, British Columbia.  The monthly rental payments were $5,681.  The landlord was Bullion Reef Holdings Ltd., a private company wholly-owned by Hanifa Ladha, who is the wife of our President, Abdul Ladha.  The rent payments were below market, as verified independently by Burgess Austin valuators.


On February 24, 2005, we, through our assignee and wholly owned subsidiary 0716590 B.C. Ltd., exercised an option to purchase the property described above.  On the date of purchase, the building had two tenants besides us.  The purchase price was $2,221,316 and the effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2005.  We paid the purchase price in cash.  The property consists of 19,646 square feet of commercial space and 2,300 square feet of residential space and is located on approximately eight-tenths of an acre.  The property currently serves as our headquarters.  A portion of the property continues to be leased to the remaining two tenants.


In 2005, we obtained a bank operating line of credit with an authorized limit of $1,395,349.  Advances under the credit line bore interest at the bank’s prime rate.  The line of credit was secured by a provincial bond we held in the amount of $1,350,000 and was also guaranteed by Mr. Ladha.  During the 2006 year, the bond was sold and the proceeds were used to pay off the line of credit.


As at December 31, 2005, included in our accounts receivable was a balance of $33,234 owing from Mr. Ladha for various credit card advances made to him.   Mr. Ladha paid this amount in full to us during the 2006 fiscal year.


On January 1, 2007 we entered into a three year agreement to lease approximately 2,851 square feet of storage space at from Bullion Reef Holdings Ltd., a private company wholly-owned by Mr. Ladha’s wife.  The monthly rent on the property located at 3112 Boundary Road, is approximately $1,777 (or approximately $63,972 for the entire term of the lease).  The lease is triple-net.  While this transaction was not at arm’s length, we believe that we received fair value for this lease and that if we were to pay an independent provider for the lease, we would receive similar terms and pay approximately the same amount per month.


We market the condominium units being developed by our subsidiary, Axion Investment Corporation, using the brand name “Overture LivingTM”.  The mark, “Overture Living™” belongs to Mr. Ladha.  Mr. Ladha has received no compensation for the use of this mark.
