PART I
ITEM 1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nature of Operations
Urbanesq.com Inc. (“Urbanesq”) was incorporated August 25, 2000 under the laws of the Province of Ontario.
Effective October 18, 2001, Urbanesq completed a merger with Koala International Wireless Inc. (“Koala”), a public company incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 18, 1999. This merger constituted a reverse takeover of Urbanesq by Koala resulting in the operations of Urbanesq being reported by the Company from the commencement of operations of Urbanesq.
The Company changed its name to KIWI Network Solutions Inc. on December 23, 2003.
On November 4, 2004 the Company announced a reverse stock split of the Corporation’s common stock of one new share for each one hundred shares outstanding in the name of such shareholder; and authorized any fractional shares to be rounded to one share.
On February 11, 2005 the Company approved its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, changed the name of the Company to Trimax Corporation (“Trimax”or the “Company”), and increased the number of its authorized capital to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.001 per share.
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a reorganization agreement by and among PLC Network Solutions Inc. (“PLC”), a private company incorporated in the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Business Corporations Act, and Trimax, Trimax Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common stock of PLC. In July of 2008 the Company sold its interest in PLC for $1.00.
On July 29, 2005 the Company entered into an Exclusive Supply Agreement with a technology supplier (the "Partner"), a privately-held corporation based in Toronto, Ontario. This agreement provided the Company with the exclusive right to sell Switzerland based Ascom broadband over power line communication access products ("Products") in Canada and non-exclusive rights world wide, which Partner represented that it had secured itself from Ascom. In accordance with the agreement, Partner agreed not to sell or supply Products to any other person or legal entity in Canada with the exception of any hydro organizations. In consideration for these rights the Company paid the Partner an annual license fee of $100,000 in Canadian dollars for five years commencing on August 1, 2005.
Subsequent to the signing and the advancement of funds for the Exclusive Supply Agreement the Company was made aware that the technology supplier had no right to grant a sub-license from Ascom. Furthermore, the supplier was previously in default and was never in any position to grant any sub-license on its own license. Due to these events, Trimax has since developed relationships with other vendors for BPL products, whom the Company considers to be more cost effective while possessing similar performance characteristics. As well, no annual license fees are required to be paid by Trimax.
On March 22, 2006 Trimax filed an action in The Superior Court of Ontario against Electrolinks Corporation alleging damages of $1,250,000, subsequently received a court ordered judgment in the Company’s favour of $132,000, received $25,000 and is awaiting payment of a further $107,000 plus applicable legal fees and interest. Collection of the balance of this judgement remains doubtful.
On June 1, 2006, pursuant to a reorganization agreement by and among Multi-Source Inc. (“MSI”), a private company incorporated in the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Business Corporations Act, and Trimax, Trimax Corporation acquired all of the outstanding common stock of MSI in exchange for 120,000 shares of Trimax’s common stock.
In March of 2007, Trimax terminated its acquisition of Multi-Source on the grounds of Breach of Contract and cancelled the 120,000 shares previously issued.
3
On August 14, 2007, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between Cybersonics Broadcast Services Inc., a company incorporated in the Province Of Ontario under the Business Corporations Act, and Trimax, 80,000 shares of Trimax common stock were issued as a deposit towards the acquisition of assets known as Multi-Media Management Distribution Technology. In June of 2008 the Company terminated this agreement and cancelled the 80,000 shares previously issued.
Overview
Trimax attempted to become a broadband over power line (“BPL”) integrator and service provider. Using existing powerline infrastructures, it tried to deliver innovative data, voice and video communications to commercial, residential and other markets. BPL technology has evolved from 85 mbps to where new generation chip sets now deliver applications at 225 mbps transfer rates. New applications such as video streaming, online gaming and IPTV need sufficient bandwidth to operate. BPL’s fiber-like speeds are now considerably faster than cable or DSL without the corresponding costs. Utility companies have been slow to adopt the technology as further test pilots are required for any eventual broad scale deployment.
A hydro utilities main asset, its electrical distribution infrastructure, is in most cases used only to deliver power. New Millennium Research recently reported that approximately 20 percent of U.S. utilities are considering investments in BPL technology. Utilities are implementing Automatic Meter Reading (“AMR”) and other real-time performance monitoring services to create a ‘smart electrical grid’.
In pursuit of companies and technologies that can deliver a revenue base which will eventually allow it to be self sufficient, Trimax entered into on going negotiations for BPL digital signage and content management technology with Cybersonics Broadcast Services Inc. Trimax hopes its efforts will lead to contracts for digital signage and content management.
The Company has since been involved in several projects with an assortment of potential clients for BPL enhanced digital signage screens and content management. These projects have not yet become revenue generating and remain at the demonstrational stage. Trimax has been showcasing a complete digital signage solution, including content management software and remote management tools for administrators to manage larger scale deployments which can be further enhanced and be made more cost effective with the use of BPL technology.
As a result of its efforts, Trimax contributed to the purchase of 126 digital signage screens for an anticipated initial order totalling $226,000. Trimax has caused to be advanced a further $90,000 to Cybersonics Sound Technologies Inc. in the effort to further the Company’s business.This Media venture did not come to fruition and the Company has written its investment off.
On July 01, 2008 Trimax sold all of its interest in its subsidiary, PLC Network Solutions Inc., to a third party for a nominal fee of $1.00. PLC’s assets included the deposit on the transaction Trimax entered into with 3One Networks Inc. on 17 May 2006.
Recent changes by the FCC in the United states have instilled certain obstacles that make it less likely to allow Broadband Over Powerlines to have any significant impact within North America and Hydro companies within. Due to these changes most BPL companies such as Trimax have suffered. Subsequently, Trimax decided to divest itself from its wholly owned subsidiary PLC Network Solutions Inc. and sold the company to a third party for a nominal fee. The Company has been searching and evaluating other business opportunities, but continues to attempt to collect on funds owed to Trimax such as Cybersonics and Electrolinks.

Risk Factors
The risks and uncertainties described below are those that the Company currently deems to be material and that it believes are specific to the Company and the industry in which it competes. In addition to these risks, the Company’s business may be subject to risks currently unknown to the Company.
The Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Since inception through September 30, 2008 the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $16,557,926 and has never generated enough funds through operations to support its business. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses through 2009.
The Company’s losses to date have resulted principally from:
| | |
| - | research and development costs relating to the development of its previous technologies which was categorized as a Personal Digital Assistance device |
| | |
| - | costs and expenses associated with distribution and marketing of the Company’s products; |
| | |
| - | Costs associated with the marketing and acceptance of its products within developed and emerging markets |
| | |
| - | Costs associated with deploying test pilots for potential customers and clients within various markets around the world; |
| | |
| - | general and administrative costs relating to the Company’s operations; |
The Company has not yet generated any meaningful revenues from the sale of its products, is currently unprofitable and the possibility exists that it may never become profitable. Since inception, the Company has funded its research and development activities primarily from private placements of equity and debt securities, a bank loan and short term shareholder advances from certain executive officers. As a result of its substantial research and development expenditures and limited product revenues, the Company has incurred substantial net losses. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend primarily on its ability to successfully commercialize its BPL solutions.
Potential fluctuations in operating results could have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s common stock.
The Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside the Company’s control, including:
| | |
| - | The level of use of the Internet; |
| | |
| - | the acceptance of BPL to be a viable alternative to existing technologies; |
| | |
| - | the demand for high-tech goods; and |
| | |
| - | the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the Company’s operations. |
Acquisitions
3One Networks Inc.
On May 17, 2006, Trimax entered into a purchase and sale agreement with 3One Networks Inc. (“3One”). 3One is a technology and service company that has commercialized BPL technologies that transmit digital signals through the electrical power line infrastructure.
3One markets products for (Industrial) Power Grid Management and (Commercial) In-building Broadband Access. 3One’s energy saving BPL Power Grid Management Solutions combine advanced hardware and software to enable the remote and real- time monitoring and control of electrical power grids. 3One’s BPL
5
In-Building Access products provide low cost methods to deliver broadband Internet to end-users within commercial and multi-tenant buildings.
Trimax has made a deposit towards the purchase of a High Speed Internet Access (“HSIA”) service business, including a portfolio of 50 Hotels consisting of approximately 4,600 rooms and all existing service contracts and related assets for providing HSIA services to these hotels, motels and resorts. The acquisition would allow for the potential to upgrade the services, technology, IP applications and broadband provisioning to these hotel sites. The purchase price was $220,230 CDN. Trimax has paid initial deposits and payments totalling $94,600 USD. The company has halted further payments while in negotiations with 3One for possible mutually beneficial changes in its relationship on a going forward basis. Therefore, remaining, payments pertaining to the purchase and sale agreement have yet to be fulfilled and the rights to these assets do not transfer to the company until fully paid, the deposits and payments paid were reflected in the balance sheet under prepaid expenses a nd deposits. No additional deposits and payments have been paid subsequent to year end. The agreement also provides for 3One to deliver certain BPL equipment based on normal distribution pricing.
On July 01, 2008 Trimax sold all of its interest in its subsidiary, PLC Network Solutions Inc., to a third party for a nominal fee of $1.00. PLC’s assets included the deposit on the transaction Trimax entered into with 3One Networks Inc. on 17 May 2006.
Multi-Media Management Distribution Technology
On August 14, 2007, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement by and between Cybersonics Broadcast Services Inc., a company incorporated in the Province Of Ontario under the Business Corporations Act, and Trimax, 80,000 shares of Trimax common stock were issued as a deposit towards the acquisition of assets known as Multi-Media Management Distribution Technology and issued 48,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a supply chain agreement to purchase certain digital signage screens. This Media venture did not come to fruition and the Company has written its investment off.
Intellectual Property
The nature of patent and trademark registration is very complex and requires legal expertise. To date, no applications have been prepared to patent any of the Company’s assets or concepts.
Government Regulation
The FCC has ruled that BPL-enabled internet access services have been classified as an information service in the US instead of its previous telecommunications service label. The CRTC in Canada has taken a similar stance with telecommunication regulation with the intent to reduce barriers to competition. This helps to promote BPL technologies and applications, but has yet to be widely adopted by Hydro compay's.
Employees
The Company currently has no employees. The Company looks to its directors and officers for their combined entrepreneurial skills and talents, and to outside subcontracted consultants. Management plans to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary.
A portion of any future employee compensation package likely would include the right to acquire stock in the Company, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of the Company's common stock.

ITEM 2.DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company had previously been leasing a 2,000 square foot office facility with principal address located at 2 Lombard Street, Suite 204, Toronto, Ontario, M5C-1M1. Currently the lease is month-to-month and there is no commitment.
ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 22, 2006 Trimax filed an action in The Superior Court of Ontario against Electrolinks Corporation alleging damages of $1,250,000. Subsequently, Trimax received a court ordered judgment, and is awaiting payment of $107,000 plus applicable legal fees and interest.
On May 22, 2006, Trimax was notified of an action out of the district court of Clark County Nevada whereby 16 plaintiffs registered an action for $120,000 against the Company. All of the plaintiffs are former shareholders of PLC Network Solutions Inc., a Canadian company, which is no longer owned by Trimax. Both parties previously agreed to a settlement, although no actions have been taken in this regard for the past three years. The initial proposed settlement had consisted of a payment of $25,000 from the Company to PLC, with Electrolinks Corporation paying Trimax $25,000 in exchange for a full release by Trimax. Trimax has received no further correspondence from the plaintiffs and no other actions have taken place. The Company has not had any indications that this action will progress further.
ITEM 4.SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
PART II
ITEM 5.MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The Company's common shares, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”) were approved for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC-BB) under the symbol KTLR on August 24, 2001. In connection with the change of the Company's name to Koala International Wireless Inc., the Company's trading symbol was changed to KIWI on December 10, 2001.

ITEM 6.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Certain statements in this report and elsewhere (such as in other filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), press releases, presentations by the Company of its management and oral statements) may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and "should," and variations of these words and similar expressions, are intended to
7
identify these forward-looking statements. Actual results may materially differ from any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, competitive pressures and constantly changing technology and market acceptance of the Company's products and services. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included herein. Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements, as discussed above. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Several factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of this Form 10-K.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
With the exception of the following, the Company has abandoned its previous intended acquisitions and business strategies in the broadband over Powerline business. In the Company's judgment, these former projects did not fit in with the Company's new direction or were not commercially feasible.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 the Company incurred a loss in the amount of $914,860. Most of the expenses incurred during this period were for basic monthly Company expenses including administration and expenses incurred in managing a reporting issuer. Operation costs over the next year are expected to be financed mainly through various private placements and additional loans. No sources of funds are currently in place or available to the Company.
Recent Developments and Discussions
The company had been involved in several pilot projects with an assortment of potential clients for BPL enhanced digital signage screens and content management. Trimax through its investment into Cybersonics Technologies had been showcasing a complete digital signage solution, including content management software and professional remote management tools for administrators to manage larger-scale deployments which tools can be enhanced and more cost effective with the use of the Broadband over Power Lines technology (BPL). Trimax had purchased 126 Digital Signage Screens for anticipated orders and has invested thus far $90,000 to Cybersonics Sound Technologies Inc., a company established in the distribution of advertising content to off sight locations via radio and streaming video over the internet. The Company continues to negotiate with Cybersonics Sound Technologies for a mutually beneficial business arrangement. However, Cybersonics has not delivered on any sales and has not responded to Trimax for repayment of its loans. Trimax is now in the process of launching an action against Cybersonics
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the consummation of the acquisition of PLC Network Solutions Inc. the Company has raised funds through a convertible debenture and private placement funds through various investors. The Company has not been successful in its business of Broadband over power lines due to changes by the FCC in regard to BPL technologies and consequently not been able to raise any further funds.
The forecasted expenses of implementing the Company's business plan will exceed the Company's current resources. The Company therefore will need to secure additional funding through an offering of its securities or through capital contributions from its stockholders.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management; however, the Company hopes that it can draw down on funds through a previously executed convertible debenture agreement executed on May 15, 2006. This commitment is non binding; there can be no assurances that any additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The agreement is with a private accredited group of investors. The commitment of $1,500,000 is available to be drawn down in $300,000
8
tranches at Trimax's option. The loans mature on May 14, 2009 and bear an annual interest rate of 12%. At the investor's option, the loan is convertible to common shares at the prior 20 day average price. Each common share has one purchase warrant attached, with each warrant exercisable for one common share at $1.25 until May 14, 2009. In October 2006 the Company and the investors agreed to allow the Company to draw down two increments of $150,000 of the available funds. The Company has drawn down a total of $300,000usd from this financing convertible debenture agreement. The finance group has elected to convert to equity, and as a result Trimax has issued shares for the funds received. There are presently no interest charges accruing or fees owed by Trimax.
Effect of Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates
The Company's reporting and functional currency is the US dollar. Currently, most of the Company's assets are located in Canada. Transactions in Canadian dollars have been translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method, such that assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange during the appropriate fiscal period. As a result, the carrying value of the Company's investments in Canada is subject to the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. Additionally, any revenues received from the Company's international operations in other than US dollars will be subject to foreign exchange risk. To date, there have been no international operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements:
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain the financing and strategic alliances necessary to attain profitable operations. Management is pursuing various sources of financing and intends to raise equity financing through a private placement with a private group of investors in the near future.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Foreign Translation Adjustment
The accounts of the Company were translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52 transaction gains and losses on these assets and liabilities are included in the determination of income for the relevant periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements from their functional currencies to United States dollars are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and have not been included in the determination of income for the relevant periods.
9
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets of acquired businesses are stated at cost less write down to estimated recoverable value. The intangibles have limited lives which the Company has determined to be five years. Other intangible assets include deferred financing fees. The Company evaluates intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support a definite useful life.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

ITEM 7.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Trimax Corporation and Subsidiaries
Toronto, Ontario M5C-1M1
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofTrimax Corporation and Subsidiaries (A Development Stage Company) at September 30, 2008 and 2007and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the cumulative period from inception to September 30, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessi ng the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trimax Corporation and Subsidiaries (A Development Stage Company) at September 30, 2008and 2007 and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' deficit for the years then ended and for the cumulative period from inception to September 30, 2008 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations since inception and is dependent on financing to continue operations, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
On February 11, 2005 Kiwi Network Solutions Inc. approved its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and changed its name to Trimax Corporation (“Trimax” or "the Company"), and increased its authorized share capital to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.001 per share.
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a reorganization agreement by and among PLC Network Solutions Inc. (“PLC”), a private company incorporated in the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and Trimax, Trimax acquired all of the outstanding common stock of PLC for the issuance of 876,000 shares of common stock.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
On July 1, 2008 the Company disposed of its interest in PLC for $1.00 and wrote off its investment for a net gain of $124,660.
On July 29, 2005, the Company entered into an Exclusive Supply agreement with a technology partner (the "Partner"), a privately-held corporation based in Toronto, Ontario. This agreement provided the Company with the exclusive right to sell Switzerland based Ascom broadband over power line communication access products ("Products") in Canada and non-exclusive rights world wide, which the Partner represented that it had secured from Ascom for itself. Subsequent to the signing and advancement of funds for the “Exclusive Supply Agreement” the Company was made aware that the product supplier had no right to grant a sub-license from Ascom. Furthermore, the supplier was previously in default and was never in any position to grant any sub-license on its own license. Due to these events, Trimax has secured product from other vendors for BPL products, which it considers to be more cost effective and possessing similar performance characteristics and for which no ann ual license fees are required to be paid by Trimax.
On March 22, 2006 Trimax filed an action in The Superior Court of Ontario against Electrolinks Corporation alleging damages of $1,250,000. Subsequently, Trimax received $23,925 towards settlement and is awaiting further payment of $107,000 plus applicable taxes and legal fees.
On May 17, 2006 Trimax entered into a purchase and sale agreement with 3One Networks Inc. ("3One"), a broadband over powerline provider ("BPL"), for the purchase of their High Speed Internet Access ("HSIA") service business, including all existing service contracts and related assets for providing HSIA services to their client list of hotels, motels and resort customers. Trimax paid initial deposits and payments totalling $94,594. As final payments pertaining to the purchase and sale agreement have yet to be fulfilled and the rights to these assets do not transfer to the Company until fully paid, the deposits and payments paid have been written off.
On June 1, 2006 Trimax entered into a Reorganization Agreement with the shareholders of Multi-Source Inc. ("MSI"), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
F-10
Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement the shareholders of MSI conveyed all of the issued and outstanding shares of MSI to Trimax in exchange for 120,000 shares of Trimax’s common stock. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of MSI have been consolidated subsequent to the acquisition date. Trimax allocated the purchase price to the acquired tangible net assets and liabilities.
| |
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued) |

The Company has been unable to find a customer for its advertising program and has determined to write down the value of its media program to $nil as the technology has aged.
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain the financing and strategic alliances necessary to attain profitable operations. Management is pursuing various sources of financing and intends to raise equity financings by private placements with a private group of investors in the near future.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. For the year ended September 30, 2007 the Company’s financial statements include the accounts of PLC Network Solutions Inc. (PLC). The Company disposed of PLC during March, 2008, wrote off all transactions for the year as a loss from discontinued operations and did not own or consolidate with any subsidiary companies for the year ended September 30, 2008.
The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations and accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise" as set forth in SFAS No. 7,Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Among the disclosures required by SFAS No. 7 are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operation, stockholders' equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception.

5. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of commercial accounts, trust accounts and interest-bearing bank deposits and are carried at cost, which approximates current value. Items are considered to be cash equivalents if the original maturity is three months or less.
Impairment of Investments
When the value of an investment has become less than its book value, management will determine the nature of the impairment in value and write the investment down to its estimated recoverable value.
Equipment and Depreciation
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the under noted annual rates and methods:
| |
Equipment | 20% straight line over five years |
Furniture and fixtures | 20% straight line over five years |
Computer | 25% straight line over four years |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's prepaid expenses and deposits on acquisitions, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, payables to related parties and other loans and advances payable approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Foreign Translation Adjustment
The accounts of the Company were translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, transaction gains and losses on these assets and liabilities are included in the determination of income for the relevant periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements from their functional currencies to United States dollars are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and have not been included in the determination of income for the relevant periods.
Comprehensive Income
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income is presented in the statements of changes in stockholders' equity, and consists of net income (loss) and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale marketable securities; foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in market value of future contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS 87.
F-12
SFAS No. 130 requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

5. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets of acquired business is stated at cost. The intangibles have limited lives, which the Company has determined to be five years. Other intangible assets include deferred financing fees. The Company evaluates intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support a definite useful life.
Earnings or Loss Per Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share pursuant to SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings or (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year.
Warrants convertible into 750,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they would be anti dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments for the period ended September 30, 2008 or 2007. Earnings per share have been calculated as follows:

Earnings (loss) per share
$(0.22) $(2.28)
Beneficial conversion feature
The Company has debt with conversion options that provide for a rate of conversion that is below the market value. This feature is normally characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which is recorded by the Company pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), accounting for Convertible Securities with beneficial conversion features of Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issued No. 98-05 to Certain Convertible Instruments. If a BCF exists, the Company records it as a debt discount. Debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early
F-13
adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts SFAS 157. We have not yet determined the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141( R ), “Business Combinations”, which established the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests which will be characterized as non controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest shareholders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 requires entities utilizing derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS No. 133 have been applied and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The Company does not have or utilize any derivative instruments and/or hedging activities and therefore SFAS 161 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In May 2008, the FASB ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 163,"Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60"("SFAS 163"). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

7. | NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES |
The advances from shareholders and directors of the Company, to facilitate the payment of debts, are interest bearing, unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment. The carrying value of the advances approximates their market value due to the short-term maturity of the financial instruments. The notes are convertible to common shares of the Company at $0.075 per share.

| | | | |
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and No. 00-27,Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, we recognize the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert his debt into common stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the day the loan is made to the Company. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of debentures and related accruing interest is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the interest method.
The fair value of the conversion option on the short-term notes and accounts payable to related parties of $554,102 as calculated using the intrinsic value method was recorded as a discount on the face value of the note. This amount will be amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the note. In 2008, the Company recorded $436,239 as interest expense due to amortization of the discount.

Effective January 1, 2006 we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, total compensation cost recognized in years beginning after December 31, 2005 includes compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation costs for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, compensation cost for issuance of warrants of $0 and $87,940 has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Compensation cost for issuance of warrants has been recognized as an equity issuance cos t during 2007 in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. We have recognized no tax benefit associated with these amounts and have not capitalized any such cost as an asset. We estimated the fair value of our stock purchase warrants issued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula. We record compensation expense for warrants ratably over the warrant’s period. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
The fair value of each warrant issued has been estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.80%, dividend yield of 0.00% for Common Stock warrants, effective expected volatility of 88.0% and expected lives of 3 years. The effects of applying SFAS 123 may not be representative of the effects on reported net earnings for future years.

12. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Related party transactions are in the normal course of operations and are recorded at amounts established and agreed between the related parties. Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:
The Company issued 320,000 common shares to directors of the Company in payment for services rendered to the Company and valued at $67,200 (2007 – 472,000 shares valued at $1,285,102).
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. Under SFAS No. 109 income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of tax payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes.
As at September 30, 2008 the Company has tax losses available to be applied against future year’s income as a result of the losses incurred in the current period as well as losses carried forward from Trimax. However, due to the losses incurred in the period and expected future operating results, management determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carry forward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Accordingly a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred income tax assets.
Components of future income tax assets are:

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2008 our disclosure controls and procedures are sufficient to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Management believes that the Company’s records provide the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of sim ple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Company's Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
