As of December 31, 2003, our company was still in a development stage and we had just started to generate commercial sales. We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collection is reasonably assured.
Our company is also continuing to develop prototypes for testing by potential customers, which are being billed for a portion of the costs incurred. We record these cost recoveries as a credit to the respective expense in the statement of operations.
Our company is in the development stage and all costs relating to research and development are charged to operations as incurred. An acquired intangible asset that represents technology that has reached technological feasibility is capitalized at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over four years and recorded commencing in the first quarterly period following acquisition. Acquired in-process research and development will be expensed on acquisition. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets".
Our company's equipment and property are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated on the declining balance method, except for the leasehold improvements where the straight-line method is used, at the following annual rates or period:
We have elected to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price of our employee stock options is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation for employees is recognized on the straight-line basis over the vesting period of the individual options. Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based awards, and recognizes compensation expense based on the fair market value of the stock award or fair market value of the goods and services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, companies that elec t to account for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 are required to disclose the pro forma net income (loss) that would have resulted from the use of the fair value based method under SFAS 123.
Acquisition of Assets
The financial statements for December 31, 2003 reflect the 2003 purchase of all assets and intellectual property relating to C-Chip technology and share restructuring related thereto. A valuation analysis was applied to determine the purchase price and its allocation in compliance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations".
Income Tax
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. We have adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" as of our inception. Pursuant to SFAS 109 we are required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because we cannot be assured it is more likely than not we will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Results of Operations
In the three-month period ending December 31, 2003 we recorded our first revenue: $148,036 from the sales of Credit Manager to a USA distributor. We expect to realize additional revenue from our acquired technology in 2004 and beyond, although we are unable to forecast volumes at this time.
On the acquisition of all of the assets related to the C-Chip technology we discontinued our mineral exploration business and have reallocated all relevant development costs, totaling $602,606 to Loss from Discontinued Operations.
Our company posted a net loss of $605,634 for the three months ending December 31, 2003. The net loss for the six month period ending December 31, 2003 was $2,311,732. Significant non cash expenses incurred during the six month period were: $1,418,451 for the discount on conversion of our Debenture; $137,000 for stock issued in payment of consulting fees; $164,584 for stock based compensation and $88,232 for depreciation and amortization. Had we determined stock based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant for employee stock options, the net loss would have increased to $749,036 for three months December 31, 2003 and to $2,530,672 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. There are no prior period comparisons for our present operations.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our acquisition of all of the assets related to the C-Chip technology in early 2003, our company has been engaged in the development and the marketing of wireless solutions that offer complete remote access, control and the management over targeted equipment and services.
As part of interim financing by shareholders, we have purchased management services from Capex Investments Limited, the vendor in the C-Chip asset purchase transaction. Capex and other related parties also paid certain operations expenses directly and advanced funds for working capital. The amounts due are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and have no fixed terms of repayment. The amount due Capex at December 31, 2003 was $223,824 (June 30, 2003: $193,325). $29,552 was due to other related parties at December 31, 2003 (June 30, 2003: $40,241).
In December 2003 we loaned an unrelated company $93,023 (C$120,000) for interim financing as part of an anticipated transaction to acquire the company for shares of C-Chip.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2003, our company had used net-cash of $532,657 for its operations. This compared to net-cash used of $10,498 in the comparable 2002 period. Until our company is able to generate sufficient cash flow to sustain its ongoing business activity, management plans to obtain capital through sale of its common stock.
As of December 31, 2003 current assets were $634,396, including cash of $537,956. This compares with our current assets of $20,281 at June 30, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, we had working capital of $254,728 compared to a deficiency of $828,127 at June 30, 2003. The substantial improvement in working capital is primarily attributable to proceeds from our private placement of common shares and conversion of a $500,000 Promissory Note to 909,090 shares and 909,090 share purchase warrants.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The requirements of SFAS No. 150 apply to issuers' classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of non-p ublic entities. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The transition provisions did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS N o. 148 on January 1, 2003.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The Company adopted SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. The effect of adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

The FASB has also issued SFAS No. 145, 147 and 149 but they do not have any relationship to the operations of the Company therefore a description of each and their respective impact on the Company's operations have not been disclosed.
