Flowray and Flowstar, as borrowers, have provided the Company with a promissory note for each advance. The borrowers have agreed to pay interest to the Company on the promissory notes at the rate of 5% per annum, calculated monthly on the last day of each month, not in advance, from the date of each promissory note on the outstanding balance. The promissory notes are due as follows: 25% of the outstanding balance of the promissory notes on March 30, 2004, a further 25% on September 30, 2004, a further 25% on March 30, 2005, and the balance together with all accrued interest on September 30, 2005.

5. Business of Flowstar and Flowray.
Flowray and Flowstar are private companies incorporated in the province of Alberta in Canada. Since inception, Flowray has been developing a new system for measuring the flow of gas in upstream petroleum production applications. This system is known as the "DCR-900" (DCR stands for Digital Chart Recorder). The DCR-900 system consists of a turbine based flow measurement signal generating device, a flow computer "head", and a temperature and pressure probe. This system has recently received approval from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and has received independent verification of accuracy from Southwest Research Institute. The first batch of DCR-900 units is now being installed in customer applications.
Flowstar has secured the right to manufacture, market and distribute the products that have been developed by Flowray, in exchange for a 10% royalty on sales. Flowstar also represents and distributes independent third party products, and is positioning itself to be a leading supplier of flow measurement equipment to the petroleum industry.
Flowray and Flowstar have no significant tangible assets. The intellectual property assets of Flowray include a US provisional patent application filed on or about March 3, 2003 for the technology comprised in the DCR-900 system. Flowray also has an exclusive worldwide marketing agreement with Hoffer Flow Controls Inc. for a gas turbine they manufacture under a private label arrangement with Flowstar. Flowray also holds the intellectual property for liquid based totalizers, burner igniters, and Windows® based gas flow calculation software, all of which Flowstar markets. Flowstar also markets a line of liquid turbines for which there is no intellectual property as the patents expired long ago.
Flowray has given Cal-Scan Services Ltd. ("Cal-Scan"), a private Canadian company, a right of first refusal to engineer, supply or manufacture the DCR-900 product according to Flowray's specifications. One of the shareholders of Flowray and Flowstar is also a principal of Cal-Scan. Cal-Scan is also the owner of a trade secret, which is incorporated in the design of Flowray's DCR-900 system. For each DCR-900 unit purchased from Cal-Scan, Flowray has agreed to pay Cal-Scan the sum of CDN$200 as a fee for use of the trade secret. Details of Cal-Scan's trade secret will be provided to a mutually agreeable trust agent, to be held in escrow and not disclosed to Flowray, except if any of the following events occur:
| a) | Cal-Scan is adjudged bankrupt; |
| | |
| b) | Cal-Scan refuses to perform any manufacturing or engineering of the DCR-900 productand refuses to allow a third party or Flowray to manufacture the produce or refuses tosupervise a third party or Flowray to continue the engineering of the product. |
Flowray has also granted Cal-Scan an irrevocable, sole license, for a nominal fee, to use Flowray's technology as it relates to flow measurement using differential pressure orifice plate systems, in oil field production well testing. Cal-Scan's license will permit it to manufacture, market, and sell flow measurement products, or sub-license or assign these rights, in markets other than turbine based flow measurement. The term of Cal-Scan's license will continue for the life of Flowray’s patent. If Flowray fails to purchase at least 100 units within the first two years from January 1, 2003, 200 units in year three
- 5 -
and 300 per year thereafter, then Cal-Scan's license to use Flowray's technology will be extended to its entire subject matter without any restriction on the market. If Flowray becomes adjudged bankrupt, Flowray has agreed to assign to Cal-Scan all its rights to the flow measurement technology, including patents and patent applications.
Finally, Flowray has granted Cal-Scan a distributorship for the DCR-900 product. Any cost savings resulting from revisions to the product will be split equally between Flowray and Cal-Scan.
