NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
7
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.
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.
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 had 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.
Recent changes by the FCC in the United States have instilled certain obstacles which has allowed Trimax to believe that it is less likely that Broadband Over Powerlines will 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 consequently been searching and evaluating other business opportunities, but continues to attempt to collect on funds owed to Trimax such as Cybersonics and Electrolinks.
8
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.
Deposits toward Acquisition
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 BPLIn-Building Access products provide low cost methods to deliver broadband Internet to end-users within commercial and multi-tenant buildings.
Trimax had 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.
Recent changes by the FCC in the United States have instilled certain obstacles which has allowed Trimax to believe that it is less likely that Broadband Over Powerlines will 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 consequently been searching and evaluating other business opportunities, but continues to attempt to collect on funds owed to Trimax such as Cybersonics and Electrolinks.
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.

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.
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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PLC, and 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.
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' deficiency and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company's inception.
Deferred Financing Costs
The costs of financing are capitalized and amortized by the straight-line method over the term of the related debt. If any or all of the related debt is repaid prior to its maturity date, a pro-rata share of the related deferred financing costs are written off and recorded as amortization expense in the period of the repayment in the consolidated statement of operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets of acquired businesses, 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.
Convertible Debenture
On May 15, 2006 Trimax secured financing from a private accredited group of investors. The commitment of $1,500,000 is available to be drawn down in $300,000 tranches at Trimax's option. If drawn down, the loans would 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. On 10 October 2006 the Company drew down $150,000 of the available loan under the terms of the supplementary and amending agreement to the convertible debenture. This draw down was simultaneously used as proceeds for the issuance of 750,000 restricted common shares and warrants for an additional 750,000 common shares exercisable at $0.20 to May 14, 2009. There are
10
currently no obligations owing towards this transaction.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report, and in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis set forth in (1) our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2008.
Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws,
which generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding revenues we might earn if we are successful in implementing our business strategies.
The forward-looking statements and associated risks may include, relate to or be qualified by other important factors. You can identify forward-looking statements generally by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “pro forma,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “continues,” or other variations of those terms, including their use in the negative, or by discussions of strategies, opportunities, plans or intentions. You may find these forward-looking statements in this Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as throughout this quarterly report. A number of unforeseen factors could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect. Although we believe that the assumptions and estimates reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve our plans, intentions or expectations. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ in significant ways from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Any of the factors described in this quarterly report, and other factors unknown to the Company at this time, could cause our financial results, including our net (loss) or growth in net income (loss) to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
In addition, readers are also advised to refer to the information contained in our filings with the SEC, especially on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB and 8-K, in which we discuss in more detail various important
11
factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.
Plan of Operations
Trimax through its previously wholly owned subsidiary PLC Network Solutions Inc. were providers of BPL communication technologies. The Company was attempting to specialize in the development, distribution, implementation, and servicing technologies that use the power grid to deliver 128-bit encrypted high-speed symmetrical broadband for data, voice and video transmission.
In 2006, the Company completed pilot projects, deployed test equipment, begun negotiations of contracts worldwide including North and South America, Africa, India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Anticipated interest for deployment of its devices and bundled services in the 2007 calendar year did not materialize for the Company. The Company anticipated securing some noteworthy contracts in fiscal 2007 for its devices and bundled services in emerging markets but did not. Consequently the company is reviewing other potential business acquisitions.
The Company had 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 had 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 had purchased 126 digital signage screens for an anticipated initial order totalling $226,000. Trimax has further invested thus far $90,000 to Cybersonics Sound Technologies Inc. in the effort to further the Company’s businesswhich has included the anticipation of securing contracts and orders stemming from various test pilot projects that have been ongoing. Cybersonics has yet to be awarded any contracts which has been contrary to its claims and expectations. Subsequently, Trimax has made requests from Cybersonics for further updates on these anticipated contracts and its business in general, but has failed to receive a response. Due to the lack of response, Trimax anticipates sending a formal letter to Cybersonics demanding payment in full on its loan plus interest costs.
In September of 2007, the company initiated a BPL deployment on a project located in Hamilton, Ontario. The project was a University student residence by the name of West Village. It called for a deployment of BPL for the purpose of distributing internet connectivity throughout the building via broadband over powerlines. No revenues have resulted from this project due to a dispute over technical issues
Recent changes by the FCC in the United States have instilled certain obstacles which has allowed Trimax to believe that it is less likely that Broadband Over Powerlines will 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 consequently been searching and evaluating other business opportunities, but continues to attempt to collect on funds owed to Trimax such as Cybersonics and Electrolinks.
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. Due to the sale of PLC the company is reviewing other potential business acquisitions, and expects to have a decision made on its new business direction very shortly.
For the three months ended December 31, 2008 the Company incurred a loss in the amount of $8,868 (2007 -$168,760). The expenses incurred during this period were for basic monthly corporate expenses.
12
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has not been successful in its business of Broadband over power lines and consequently has 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. There can be no assurances that any additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, 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, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls 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.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Four weaknesses in our internal controls were identified during the completion of our year end September 30, 2006 and detailed in our form 10KSB disclosure for the year ended September 30, 2006. The four weaknesses were resolved by the implementations and changes disclosed in the 10KSB.
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the requisite evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter 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
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.
