PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplements carefully, especially the sections entitled "Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements," "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplements related thereto, before deciding to purchase shares of our common stock.
Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd.
Depending upon the context, the terms "Rampart Detection", “Rampart”, "Company," "we," "our" and "us," refers to either Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd. alone, or Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd. and its subsidiaries collectively.
Organizational History
The parent company, Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd., was formed in British Columbia in January of 2009, and obtained, by license and patent application assignments, rights to use of the electromagnetic detection technology (the “Technology”) from the inventor and patent holder. Thereafter, Rampart Detection Systems expanded its operations into the United States, and sub-licensed a Nevada corporation, Rampart Reconnaissance, Inc., for all applications of the technologies, but only in the US territory. Applications outside of the United States would remain with the parent company. During April, 2010, the parent company essentially acquired complete control and ownership of Rampart Reconnaissance through several exchanges of common stock with the then-holders of Reconnaissance shares, such that Rampart Detection today owns 100% of the common stock of Rampart Reconnaissance (the Nevada subsidiary).
Rampart Reconnaissance, as owner of the sublicense for all activities in the United States, in turn sub-licensed a separate Nevada corporation, Rampart Defense, Inc., and granted to that entity exclusive US rights to the technology as it applies to Military use in the United States, and a non-exclusive use in territories around the world where the US Military is active. Rampart Reconnaissance owns approximately 81% of Rampart Defense.
5
During 2010, Reconnaissance also issued a separate and exclusive license to Rampart Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed for the purpose of exploiting newly developed technology for the electro-magnetic crimping of gas and oil pipes, and owns approximately 69% of the entity.
In Europe, Rampart Detection Systems (Parent) entered into a sublicense agreement with a UK corporation, Rampart Industries Limited for development of all applications of the Technology within the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, save only Israel, owning approximately 78% of the equity interests of that entity.
Rampart Detection also owns 70% of Rampart Defence, Ltd., a British Columbia corporation, which has rights to develop and exploit the Technology, for Canadian military purposes only.
The Company commenced operations on January 9, 2009 and as of July 31, 2010 has an accumulated deficit of $960,538. It is currently in the development stage and has not generated any revenues in 2010 or 2011. As indicated in the Notes to the Company’s financial statements, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund ongoing operations and carry out its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. To date the Company has funded its initial operations primarily by way of convertible note financing and advances from related parties. The Company currently has no employees other than its officers, directors and certain full-time contractors.
For a complete description of our business, please see the section entitled "Our Business".
Summary of the Offering
The shares being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement are shares to be distributed by Regal One Corporation to its shareholders as part of a dividend. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the subsequent sale of these shares by the dividend recipients. Due to the fact that the Company is not currently listed on any public market, there is no set price at which these shares could be sold. Therefore, until such time as a public market exists, sales by the dividend recipients, if any, will be privately negotiated and transferred without any input from the Company.

Summary Financial Data

Therefore, you should carefully read all of the information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including the financial statements and their explanatory notes and the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," before making a decision to invest in our common stock. The information contained in the following summary are derived from our financial statements for the six month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 and the years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.

Market Data and Industry Information
We obtained the market data and industry information contained in this prospectus from internal surveys, estimates, reports and studies, as appropriate, as well as from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. Although we believe our internal surveys, estimates, reports, studies and market research, as well as industry publications are reliable, we have not independently verified such information, and as such, we do not make any representation as to its accuracy.
Risk Factors
We were incorporated on January 9, 2009 and have a limited operating history. There is no basis upon which you can evaluate our proposed business and prospects and to date we have been involved primarily in organizational and research activities.
·
There is no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether we will be able to operate our proposed business successfully.
·
If our business fails to develop in the manner we have anticipated, you will lose your investment in the shares.
·
If our business develops, management may be unable to effectively or efficiently operate our business unless we are able to employ sufficient and trained professional personnel to assist us in the operation of our business, in which event, you will lose your investment in the shares.
We are a newly-formed company and, as such, we may encounter extraordinary risks and unforeseen problems.
·
As we have not yet commenced production or sales of our products, our prospects for success must be considered in the light of the extraordinary risks, unforeseen expenses and problems that newly-formed companies normally encounter.
·
The creation, execution and maintenance of our plans for our business operation are based solely upon the opinion of our management and they may not have adequately anticipated unforeseen expenses and other problems that newly formed companies normally encounter. If we have failed to adequately address business commencement risks, our business will not develop or grow, and you will lose your investment in the shares.
·
New companies, such as ours, are traditionally subject to high rates of failure.
·
New companies, such as ours, can be expected to encounter unanticipated problems relating to additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
As a newly formed company, we will be required to implement our proposed business, and if we are unable to do so, you will lose your investment in the shares.
·
The likelihood of success must be considered in the light of problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the planned design and development of our products.
·
We can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.
·
If we are unsuccessful in implementing our plans or those plans prove unsuccessful our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment in the shares.
As a newly formed company, we will be required to anticipate and handle potential growth and we may not be able to do so in which event you will lose your investment in the shares.
·
If our business model and products prove successful, our potential for growth will place a significant strain on our technical, financial and managerial resources. We may have to implement new operational and financial systems and procedures, and controls to expand, train and manage employees and to coordinate our technical and accounting staffs, and if we fail to do so you will lose your investment in the shares.
8
·Because of the limited capital available to us for the foreseeable future, we may not have sufficient capital to fully implement our business plan.
We are obligated to pay our operating expenses as they arise, including required annual fees of $100 to British Columbia and $125 to the State of Nevada. We will also incur legal and accounting expenses to comply with our reporting obligations to the SEC. If we fail to pay any of the foregoing, we may be forced to cease our reporting obligations and possibly business operations unless terms are renegotiated.
As of September 1, 2011, we had approximately $350,000 in cash; $115,000 in sales tax refund due and $90,000 in a pledged loan or investment for a total available cash position of approximately $555,000. This amount excludes approximately $107,000 in deferred management and bonus payments and approximately $ 96,000 due in management fees (but deferred) to an officer of the company’s UK subsidiary, as well as certain nominal accounts payable. Based on the projected monthly expenses which we believe are required to bring the company to operating cash flow, the cash-on-hand and due would be only adequate for up to 5 months of company operation. Total projected monthly expense is approximately $115,000 per month, which is based on actual operating costs incurred during 2011 and is exclusive of certain deferred management costs and bonuses.
We anticipated that with the pending conclusion of the company’s first phase of research and development, the company’s BeltGard conveyor belt inspection system; the EMRAC power loss and theft detection system and the threat detection portal could shortly be ready for demonstration and marketing. These events are anticipated to assist the company in the raising of working capital through private equity placement or private loans; will reduce the demand for the raising of capital through the production of positive cash flow and reduce those amounts historically spent on research and development activities, although none of this can be guaranteed.
If we need to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available when we need them. We may be required to provide rights senior to the rights of our shareholders in order to attract additional funds and if we use equity securities to raise additional funds dilution to our shareholders will occur.
To the extent that we require additional funds, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms or at all, and if the funds are not available when we need them, we may be forced to terminate our business.
If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced; and those equity securities issued to raise additional funds may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of the holders of our common stock.
Additional working capital could be required beyond the projected amount should the company be required to accelerate product development in order to meet unanticipated market demand and / or should the company decide to expand its research and development program.
Most, if not all, of our competition will be from larger, more well-established and better financed companies, and if we are unable to successfully compete with other companies our business will fail.
·
If we are able to implement our business operations, substantially all of our competitors will have greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do.
·
If we are unable to overcome such competitive disadvantages, we will be forced to cease our business operations.
We currently have no employees other than our Officers, full-time contractors and Directors, some of whom serve on a part-time basis, and we do not always pay them cash compensation. If they were to leave our employ, our business could fail.
Because our ability to engage in business is dependent upon, among other things, the personal efforts, abilities and business relationships of our Officers and Directors, if they were to terminate employment with us or become unable to provide such services before a qualified successor, if any, could be found, our business could suffer.
Our current Directors do not provide full time services to us. Company directors receive no direct financial compensation, other than the issuance of options, as described elsewhere in this document. Officers are compensated as detailed in the compensation chart. The officers work full-time for the Corporation while the directors apply themselves on an as-needed basis. The company officers and directors have significant professional and business backgrounds which are of value to the Corporation and which are described in the Management section. The company retains full-time contractors in lieu of direct employees for much of its business activity. This practice has no negative impact on the company’s capability to research and develop products and establish business relationships. We anticipate that many of the current full-time contractors will become full-time employees by year-end as the products are delivered to the marketplace.
9
We do not maintain "key person" insurance on our Officers and Directors, and if any of them were to die or become disabled, we do not have any insurance benefits to defer the costs of seeking replacements.
Market factors are out of our control. As a result, we may not be able to market any of our products which may be developed.
·
The detection industry, in general, is intensively competitive, and we are unable to provide any assurance that a ready market will exist for the sale of our products. The detection industry is generally composed of companies specifically involved in the non-destructive testing of industrial components or the production and application of specialized sensing systems. In both cases companies tend to be large and well established in their particular field of expertise. We believe it is unusual for a new start-up company to attempt to enter this highly competitive market where long-term business relationships generally form the basis of business activity. Government regulations generally establish the parameters to be met for non-destructive testing as well as specific sensing applications. There is no assurance that we can develop and apply our technology to meet those government regulations
·
Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any products developed. These factors include market fluctuations and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices and taxes.
·
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the impact of any one or a combination thereof may result in our inability to generate any revenue, in which event you will lose your entire investment in the shares.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
We are not listed or quoted on any exchange and we may never obtain such a listing or quotation.
·
There may never be a market for stock and stock held by our shareholders may have little or no value. There is presently no public market in our shares. While we intend to contact an authorized OTC Bulletin Board market maker for sponsorship of our securities, we cannot guarantee that such sponsorship will be approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. Even if our shares are quoted for sale, buyers may be insufficient in numbers to allow for a robust market, and it may prove impossible to sell your shares.
·
Even if we obtain a listing on an exchange and a market for our shares develops, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by certain stockholders may result in significant downward pressures on the price of our common stock and could affect your ability to realize the then-current trading price of our common stock.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.
·
Currently, we have outstanding a total 47,822,727 shares of common stock. Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of common stock.
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC.
·
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities may be limited, which could make transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
·
Because our stock is not traded on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and because the market price of the common stock may be less than $5.00 per share, the common stock is classified as a "penny stock.” The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
·
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and:
10
·
Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which:
Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and;
That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
·
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
A decline in the future price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
Even if we are able to successfully list our stock for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, we can have no assurances that a market will ever develop and if a market does develop we will have no control over the market price of our common stock. Any market price that does develop is likely to be highly volatile. Factors, including regulatory matters, concerns about our financial condition, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to current or future agreements or title to our claims may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock, causing the market price to decline. In addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by shareholders and by us could also have an adverse effect on the price of our securities. Such a decline would seriously hinder our ability to raise additional capital and prevent us from fully implementing our business plan and operations.
68.01% of our shares of Common Stock are controlled by Principal Stockholders and Management.
68.01% of our Common Stock is controlled by 6 stockholders of record. This figure includes stock controlled by directors and officers (20,184,265 shares) who are the beneficial owners of about 42.21% of our Common Stock. Such ownership by the Company's principal shareholders, executive officers and directors may have the effect of delaying, defending, preventing or facilitating a sale of the Company or a business combination with a third party.
Even taking into account the limitations of Rule 144, the future sales of restricted shares could have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company’s securities in any market, which may develop.
The 47,822,727 shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding, as of the date hereof, are “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and in the future may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act. Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person, who has not been an affiliate of the issuer for the past 90 days and has held restricted securities for six months of an issuer that has been reporting for a period of at least 90 days, may sell those securities so long as the Company is current in its reporting obligations. After one year, non-affiliates are permitted to sell their restricted securities freely without being subject to any other Rule 144 condition. Rule also 144 provides that an affiliate of an issuer who has beneficially owned the issuer’s restricted ordinary shares for at least six months is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of the shares that does not exceed the greater of either of the following (i) 1% of the number of the issuer’s ordinary shares then outstanding; and (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the issuer’s ordinary shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. These sales are also limited by the manner of sale, notice and current public information about the issuer provisions of Rule 144.After the shares registered herein are freely traded, holders of the restricted shares may, following the 1% rule as outlines above, each sell approximately 478,227 shares during any ninety-day (90 day) period after the registration statement becomes effective. Sales under Rule 144 or pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the Act, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our securities in any market, which may develop for such shares. The Company has a series of Lock-up agreements with 38 of its shareholders, covering 39,385,000 shares, pursuant to which the respective shareholders have agreed to hold their shares for a minimum of 24 months following the initial listing of these shares on any trading market, unless all shares subject to the Lock-up agreements are allowed to trade, or a portion of them, by a committee established by the Company, with all shares subject to Lock-up treated in a pro-rata manner should any amount be released from the restrictions prior to the lapse of the two-year period.

If shareholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the value of our shares would most likely decline.
The Company had 39,985,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2011, and 47,822,727 outstanding as of April 30, 2011, all of which will eventually become freely tradable, subject to compliance with certain exemptions allowing restricted securities to have their legend removed. The availability for sale of a large amount of shares may depress the market price for our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the public sale of Common Stock. The Company has no arrangement with any of the holders of our shares to address the possible effect on the price of the Company's Common Stock of the sale by them of their shares. A large number of the outstanding shares are subject to Lock-up agreements executed between the Company and the shareholder, preventing the shareholder from selling the shares, in general, prior to two years from the date they acquired them. This agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.3.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we were incorporated on January 9, 2009, and we do not have a history of earnings, and as a result, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to complete equity or debt financings or generate profitable operations. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the dividend of the common stock held by Regal One Corporation to the Regal One shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
An existing shareholder, Regal One Corporation, will be distributing 300,000 of its shares to its shareholders of record and will not sell any of its remaining shares in the open market without compliance with terms its lock-up agreement with the Company Upon the lapsing of the lock-up period (2 years), Regal One Corporation will not sell any of its remaining shares without compliance with the terms of Rule 144 or pursuant to a future registration statement which may be filed by the Company. We ( the Company) are not offering any shares for sale. Therefore, the price of $0.40 shown earlier in this Registration Statement, solely for the calculation of registration fees, was determined from the last private placement price.
Our common stock is not presently traded on any market or securities exchange, and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. We anticipate seeking sponsorship for the trading of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the OTCBB or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. The Regal One Corporation share dividend recipients will sell at privately negotiated prices until such time as a public market becomes available.
DILUTION
The common stock to be held by the dividend recipients is common stock that has already been issued to Regal One. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table provides, as of the date of the declared effectiveness of this Registration Statement, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by the selling shareholder, including:

Information on the Company
History and development of the Company
Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd. (“Rampart” or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 9, 2009 in Canada. The Company was formed with a single focused objective: to become a global leader in the development and marketing of a wide range of detection systems based on the technical capability to locate and identify specific inherent or induced/stimulated electromagnetic radiation signatures common to electronic systems, metallic ordnance, and even human organisms.
Business Overview
This corporate goal is only made possible through Rampart's ownership of proprietary electromagnetic radiation detection technologies. The core technology which serves as the basis of Rampart’s corporate development program is currently in industrial application, thereby the Company believes, significantly reducing development risk for expansion of the technology into other critically important fields of use.
The technology can be applied in many areas including, but not limited to, future improvements towards Security; Police; Defense; Military and Industrial applications throughout the world.

The Rampart Science
James Clerk Maxwell first formally postulated electromagnetic waves. These were subsequently confirmed by Heinrich Hertz. Maxwell derived a wave form of the electric and magnetic equations, thus uncovering the wave-like nature of electric and magnetic fields, and their symmetry. According to Maxwell's equations, a spatially varying electric field causes the magnetic field to change over time. Likewise, a spatially varying magnetic field causes changes over time in the electric field. In an electromagnetic wave, the changes induced by the electric field shift the wave in the magnetic field in one direction; the action of the magnetic field shifts the electric field in the same direction. Together, these fields form a propagating electromagnetic wave. A quantum theory of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter such as electrons is described by the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
All machinery; electronics; ferrous and non-ferrous metallic components and even living organisms either have a naturally occurring emission of electromagnetic radiation or are capable of being stimulated to generate their own unique and specific identity of radiation. The signature of that electromagnetic radiation, whether naturally occurring or artificially induced, provides valuable clues as to object composition. It represents a unique fingerprint that once detected, isolated and interpreted, offers the capability for identifying and tracking the function and/or object emitting the radiation as well as the detection of any associated anomalies. (see Tipler, Paul (2004) “Physics for Scientist and Engineers” and Jackson, John David (1999), “Classical Electodynamics.”) That capability represents the core of the Rampart Science.
Historic Technology Challenges to the Detection of Electromagnetic Radiation
The creation of viable operating electromagnetic radiation detection systems able to take full advantage of this natural occurring phenomenon have generally failed because of two significant technical challenges:
1.
The targeted object does not generate any natural emission of electromagnetic radiation.
2.
The targeted object naturally emits a specific electromagnetic radiation signal but it is so weak that it becomes lost in the general electromagnetic noise common to the targets surroundings.
The Rampart Technology Solution
All Rampart Detection products have their developmental roots in one of the basics of Rampart’s science: the capability to sense, analyze, classify and identify naturally occurring emissions of electromagnetic radiation. All naturally occurring electromagnetic radiation contains specific signatures aligned with the generation source. Analysis of these emission signatures permits classification and identification of the source. Alternatively, we have the capability, in the case where no naturally occurring electromagnetic emissions can be monitored, to create an electromagnetic field that covers the target area. Distortions to this electromagnetic field resulting from the absorption and/or reflection from target objects of specific material class compositions are unique. As a result, Rampart can identify those specific material classes through the identification and classification of their specific absorption and/or reflection signatures. (see, for example, Allen Taflove and Susan C. Hagness (2005).Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method,
Rampart’s Two “Technical Pillars”
1.
The proven stand-off capability to induce, detect and interpret an electromagnetic radiation signature generated by a targeted object.
2.
The ability to detect the weakest of naturally generated electromagnetic radiation and classify it independently of all surrounding electromagnetic clutter at a meaningful distance from a mobile platform.
Rampart Products
Rampart’s Current Product Portfolio includes existing, proven technology and applications and pending applications still in research or laboratory formulation.
Each product will have gone through several phases to reach the ultimate consumer market:
a)
Initial Design Stage, which is the formulation of the concept such that developers and research scientists can attempt to create a product of this description having the desired characteristics and performance parameters;
18
b)
Laboratory Proof of Concept, which indicates that the research teams and the persons responsible for actual construction or manufacture of the product have made a working model, which functions in laboratory conditions;
c)
Demonstration Stage, which allows for the working laboratory model to be shown to outside, or third-party viewers to demonstrate the efficacy of the product, although it remains subject to additional refinements and improvements, in part based upon results of these demonstrations and feedback from the viewers or end-users; and
d)
Deliverable Stage, which is the final rendition of the product, suitable for manufacturing by an independent third party manufacturer, and ultimate delivery to the end-user for retail usage or deployment in the actual environment of the end user or purchaser.

Selected Rampart Sample Product Profiles
The High-Speed Inspection of Steel Cord Conveyor Belts
Development Status: Demonstration Stage
Fifteen years ago, Rampart’s Chief Research Advisor invented the patented and revolutionary BELT CAT steel cord conveyor belt inspection system. That original system established a new standard within the industry. It permitted operators to detect and evaluate conveyor belt flaws ahead of costly breakdowns which could threaten to close down total production operations. The system has been successfully deployed at 100’s of the world’s largest mine sites for the past decade or more. The BELT CAT product is not owned or distributed by the Company.
Current competitive market:
The original BELT CAT patent portfolio is due to expire. Numerous companies worldwide have attempted to offer competitive conveyor belt inspection systems. In all cases they have failed to meet the operating standards of the proprietary BELT CAT system. That situation could change upon the expiration of the BELT CAT patents as the system’s underlying technology advantages enter the public domain. In anticipation of this occurrence, Rampart has designed a completely new generation of a conveyor belt inspection system that is separately patentable, technologically distinct and state of the art: The BELTGARD System. Rampart believes that the novel features of the BELTGARD Inspection System will permit the company to assume a global leadership role in steel cord conveyor belt inspection. Unlike the original licensee of the BELT CAT system, who only offered an inspection service, Rampart intends to sell, install and manage permanent onsite BELTGARD Systems. Rampart believes there are over 2000 potential customers who could use 3-4 BELTGARD Inspection Systems per location.
The High-Speed Inspection of Rail Lines
Development Status: Laboratory Proof of Concept
Current rail line inspections are generally based on the use of a mix of sensing techniques such as Ultrasound, Eddy Current and Radiography. Unfortunately, conventional rail line inspection is limited to a maximum speed of less than 70 kph and generally requires the mounting of extensive equipment on an independent, rail-mounted conveyance. These conventional systems are prone to missing rail line flaws; require a number of technically-competent support personnel and are expensive to operate and maintain.
Rampart is developing a rail line inspection system capable of being permanently mounted directly on a train’s locomotive with the capability to detect and evaluate the majority of flaws commonly occurring on and in rail lines and their integral components. This system should have the ability to accomplish this in real time, at high train speeds of up to 550 kph. The Rampart High-Speed Rail Line Inspection System will be capable of immediately alerting train personnel as to the nature of the detected flaw and its severity. Rampart’s capability would permit the global railway industry to establish modern and cost effective Rail Defect Management Systems capable of internal operation and management without the costs and inefficiencies often encountered with contracted rail line inspections.
Magnetic Crimping System
Development Status: Laboratory Proof of Concept
In direct response to the environmental catastrophe caused by the deep water BP oil pipe rupture in the Gulf of Mexico, Rampart Detection Systems Ltd. (Rampart) developed a proprietary system capable of automatically reacting to such an event by permanently crimping the oil or gas pipe and preventing the runaway flow of oil or gas. The BP oil pipe failure vividly illustrated the complete failure of conventional failsafe systems designed to prevent such occurrences.
Rampart believes that its proposed Magnetic Crimping Technology could become the basis of the ultimate failsafe system to be incorporated in all existing and future oil and gas drilling; pipeline and storage operations.
Rampart’s Magnetic Crimping Technology is grounded in the proven physics of Classical Electrodynamics. Rampart’s research and development team has modified generic scientific principles to provide a novel and patentable application capable of instantaneous response in the event of a catastrophic failure within marine and land-based oil and gas drilling platforms, related pipelines and containment infrastructure. The Rampart system can be applied in two functions:
22
(1) New Installations
Rampart has designed a specially engineered and constructed section of wellbore casing which is installed just before the wellhead or, alternatively, a modular unit designed to replace the conventional Blow Out Preventer (“BOP”) which can be fitted at the wellhead itself. Both unit designs contain magnetic field generating coils; electric current injection zones and crimp force interaction zones. The requisite electrical power for both the magnetic field and current injection is designed to be provided by dense pulsed power sources such as superconducting magnetic energy storage systems, electromechanical flywheel generators or explosively pumped generators.
(2) Retrofit of Existing Installations
For the sealing of wellbores or pipes that have not been pre-equipped with Rampart’s proprietary Magnetic Crimping System, a special portable clamp-on version can be deployed and installed onto an existing wellhead infrastructure or a leaking pipe. Once the Rampart System is activated all further leakage will be terminated at the pipe crimp.
Mine Rescue Beacon
Development Status: Initial Design Stage
Rampart’s Research and Development Team has determined that EMRAC can serve as the receiver platform for an innovative and novel Mine Rescue Beacon system capable of transmitting a wireless signal through more than 2500 feet of bedrock. Conventional mine emergency communications systems are incapable of such a wireless transmission range. Rampart Rescue Beacons would be located within the emergency shelters / mine rescue chambers / muster stations generally located throughout the subterranean mining area. In the event of an emergency, a miner would engage an activation lever on the Rescue Beacon. The resulting transmitted signal will clearly identify the location of the miner(s), as well as confirm the presence of survivors to potential rescuers, much like the Emergency Locator Transponder that commercial aircraft carry and deploy as necessary.
As was illustrated in the recent Chilean mine disaster, rescue teams can generally only guess at the location and possibility of survivors.
Soft Tissue Anomaly Imaging
Development Status: Initial Design Stage
The Development Team has ascertained that because of developments in non-contact electrodynamic sensing and the pseudo-imaging of both conductive and non-conductive (dielectric) materials and composite objects embodying the same, specifically in the areas of person-borne contraband / IED screening and detection, Rampart can apply these technologies and techniques to the development of an augmentative//alternative pre-screening adjunct to detection of soft tissue anomalies, such as utilized in current breast cancer detection methods.
Rampart’s innovation could offer medium-resolution soft-tissue imaging at high-speed throughput, with reasonable false-positive and false-negative rates. Utilizing an electrodynamic bulk volume interrogation method that is completely different from current techniques, and employing novel polytomographic reconstruction methods and algorithms (due to the nature of the novel sensing method), soft-tissue, particularly female breast tissue, may be scanned and examined for the direct presence of volume-borne tumors and anomalies. We are now entering the preliminary research phase towards adaptation of this electrodynamic technique towards potential medical applications.
If successful, the key advantages to this approach are: no ionizing radiation employed (X-ray or CT); no breast compression needed (as in X-ray); no galvanic (electrical) contact is used (as in EIT); and no liquid interfacial is necessary (as in FIR optical). In essence, this technical innovation would permit screening without the use of radiation or the acute discomfort currently common to standard mammographies.
23
Geophysical Survey System
Development Status: Initial Design Stage
As a direct result of recent research and development in the areas of covert tunnel detection, Rampart has concluded the initial design calculations on what promises to be a completely new and innovative replacement for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). If fully developed, Rampart’s novel “Ground Penetrator” could eventually represent a technology shift in man’s capability to visually penetrate the earth’s surface, to greater depths, for the detection and identification of targeted anomalies such as forensic evidence; mineral and water deposits; architectural remains and geophysical functions. The current physical limitations of standard GPR include highly complex functioning and data processing needs; restrictions on the mobility of use; electrical power restraints and limited vectoring and depth capabilities. All of these problems have the potential of being eliminated by use of “Rampart’s Ground Penetrator.” Development of this new Rampart exploration system could have global significance in the seeking of water and mineral deposits in developing countries.
Electrical Utility Applications
Development Status:Deliverable Stage
Rampart’s proprietary EMRAC (Electromagnetic Radiation Analyzer and Classifier) technology can be used by electrical utilities to detect and analyze all the various electromagnetic harmonic signatures re-radiated from power utility distribution transformers (i.e., reflected back from various non-linear loads in residential, commercial and industrial settings.)
Additionally, EMRAC can detect and analyze the electromagnetic signatures indicative of unsafe power feeds (excessive net or neutral currents), faulty streetlight ballasts and leaky distribution transformers.
Capabilities include:
•
Detection of power theft
•
Detection of excessive/unsafe power consumption
•
Detection of excessive/unsafe net currents
•
Net current mapping
•
Detection of excessive/unsafe neutral currents
•
Neutral current mapping
•
Detection of buried HV feeders
•
Detection of buried LV feeders
•
Transformer feed-point tracing
•
Power quality assessment
24
The “Brick” Computer
Development Status: Deliverable Stage
Rampart’s electro-dynamic sensing and signal processing systems are wholly dependent upon the use of computers. After investigating the available vehicular, marine and military processing platforms, Rampart’s research team elected to design and build a “rugged” mobile processing platform that provides the necessary software execution capability, power consumption, storage capacity and physical size. The result is the “Brick” mobile processing platform.
Although initially designed and configured as part of Rampart’s proprietary EMRAC System, (Electromagnetic Radiation Analyzer and Classifier) the “Brick” computer has the immediate potential to become Rampart’s first retail product with applications in police; security; defense and the general consumer market where there is currently a substantial void in mobile processing platforms offering the inherent operating characteristics of the “Brick”.
Although Rampart has determined that its mobile processing platform can be utilized in various industry applications and application areas, which include: (1) Man-borne signal processing; (2) Vehicle, marine or aircraft-borne Signal Processing; (3) Police, public safety and military; (4) General high-speed and deep data acquisition; (5) Mobile music recording; (6) Mobile video recording; and (7) Rugged media/data vault and server.
This product's salient features include:
• Configurable with i5 or i7 (non-mobile) cores for maximum computing power
• Smallest possible form factor
• Completely passively cooled
• No moving components (no fans or HDD’s)
• Rugged (rated IP65)
• -30C to +50C ambient temperature range
• 10VDC to 28VDC at 155W power consumption (with <7V start ride through)
• Intelligent power sequencing on ignition startup and shutdown
• Runs applications autonomously
• Massive I/O count

Total Expenses | | $ | 949,844 | | | $ | 244,373 | |
Advisory and directors fees includes amounts paid or accrued to Ken Swaisland Paul McClory, who are both senior executives of the Company. These fees increased as a result of the Company entering into advisory and directors fee agreements as described below more fully under “Material Commitments”.
Development costs include all amounts directly attributable to the development of technology owned or licensed by the Company. These costs include amounts paid to both contractors and employees for research and development activities and for materials consumed during these activities. These costs increased from 2010 to 2011 as a direct consequence of the Company’s increased efforts to develop its technology.
Office and miscellaneous includes corporate overhead costs such as rent, telephone and other office costs. These costs increased as a direct result of the Company’s increased level of operations.
Professional fees includes all fees paid or accrued to legal counsel and for accounting and auditing services. These fees increased as a direct result of the Company increased level of operations,.
In general, costs have increased in all categories comparing 2011 to 2010 due to the greater level of activity in the Company to develop and market its technology.
Operating Income (Loss).
We had an operating loss during 2010 of $949,844 compared with $44,373 for the period from inception (January 9, 2009) to July 31, 2009. The reasons for this increase are discussed above.
Foreign exchange (gains) losses.
The foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the impact of different foreign exchange rates applied to balance sheet accounts, versus those applied to income statement accounts, was a loss of $3,553 for 2010, which contrasts with a gain of $11,648 for the period from inception (January 9, 2009) to July 31, 2009.
28
Total Net Loss.
For the 2010 year end period, we had a total net loss of $989,872 compared with a total net loss for the period from inception (January 9, 2009) to July 31, 2009 of $44,373. This increase was the result of the increase in operational expenses as described above.
Net Loss Per Share.
Net loss applicable to common stock holders was $0.03 per share in 2010 compared with $0.00 per share for the period from inception (January 9, 2009) to July 31, 2009. The change in income per share is reflective of the expense increase as the number of common shares subscribed has not changed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of July 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $669,982, compared to a working capital deficit of $8,657for the period from inception (January 9, 2009) to July 31, 2009. The increase is due principally to an increase in research and development commitments made during that time period.
On June 21, 2010 RES, a subsidiary of the Company, advanced $25,000 to an arm’s length corporation. The advance was secured by a promissory note containing the following terms which was due on the earlier to occur of (a) the completion of a round of equity financing by the borrower with aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000, or (b) September 19, 2010.
As of July 31, 2010, $225 of accrued interest (at 8% per annum) had been recorded in connection with this note receivable. On November 9, 2010 the $25,000 principal amount of the loan was repaid.
Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to meet its cash flow requirements through revenues from operations, issue of convertible debt and bank financing, if necessary..
Sources of Capital.
We expect our revenues generated from operations to cover our projected working capital needs; however, if additional capital is needed, we will explore financing through options such as convertible debt issues, bank financing and shareholder loans. Shareholder loans are without stated terms of repayment. We have no formal agreement that ensures that we will receive such loans.
Material Commitments
Effective May 1, 2009 the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Company’s then-president, Kenneth Swaisland. The term of the agreement was 24 months at a rate of $10,000 CDN Dollars per month. If during the term of the agreement the Company completed a private placement of at least $1,000,000, the amount of the monthly fee would increase to $15,000 CDN Dollars per month or such other amount upon which the parties agree. As of February of 2011, this contract was altered to a base fee of $15,000 CDN Dollars per month, with an increase to $20,000 CDN Dollars per month if certain financial targets are met and a public listing is secured for the Company. A funding bonus was included which has accrued to $90,907 for the year ending July 31, 2011, which remains unpaid, and which will be recorded in that financial. The funding bonus is calculated as 4% of the first $1,000,000 in net funds raised (either by way of share or convertible debt issue) plus 3% of net amounts raised over $1,000,000. The funding bonus may only be paid if in the opinion of management the Company has sufficient working capital on hand to meet six months of estimated expenses.
The Company also entered into an agreement with its current president, Andrew Schwab, for $6,000 per month (increasing to $8,000 per month if financial targets and public listing are attained), and granted him 150,000 options at $0.40 per share, vesting immediately.
The Company has a consulting services agreement with David Crawford, who is president of the Rampart Reconnaissance subsidiary, under which he receives $8,000 per month, increasing to $12,000 per month 120 days after the Company becomes listed and trading in the United States, and 250,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.40 per share, which become fully vested after 10 months of service.
Effective June 25, 2010 the Company entered into a lease on premises for its offices. The term of the lease is for 3 years commencing September 1, 2010 at rate of $5,249.22 per month for the first year and $2,979 per month for years two and three. The Company paid a deposit of $15,146 to be applied against first, second and last month's rent.

The change in income per share is reflective of the expense increase as the number of common shares subscribed has not changed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of July 31, 2010, we had working capital of $669,982, compared to working capital of $1,272,924 as of January 31, 2011. The decrease is due principally to an increase in operating costs, funded by convertible notes.
Over the next 12 months, we will require additional working capital
Sources of Capital.
We expect our revenues generated from operations to cover our projected working capital needs; however, if additional capital is needed, we will explore financing through options such as shareholder loans. Shareholder loans are without stated terms of repayment. We have no formal agreement that ensures that we will receive such loans. In the event shareholder loans are not available, we may seek long or short term financing from local banks.

Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions
Effective May 1, 2009 the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Company’s then-president, Kenneth Swaisland. The term of the agreement was 24 months at a rate of $10,000 per month. If during the term of the agreement the Company completed a private placement of at least $1,000,000, the amount of the monthly fee would increase to $15,000 per month or such other amount upon which the parties agree.
During February 2011, the Company modified the advisory and strategic planning agreement with Swaisland, setting the monthly fee at $15,000, which may increase to $20,000 provided certain financial targets and public listing requirements are met. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a funding bonus equal to 4% of the first $1,000,000 (net of expenses) of funds raised by the Company (whether by way of debt or equity and calculated from inception of the Company) through his involvement, decreasing to 3% of net funds raised over $1,000,000. The funding bonus becomes effective once $1,500,000 net funds have been received by the Company. To date, $90,907 in fees have been earned but not paid under this arrangement which will be recorded in the quarter ending April 30, 2011.
In February 2011, the Company entered into a contract with David Crawford, to serve as president of Reconnaissance, for base monthly fees of $6,000, which may increase to $8,000, provided certain financial targets and public listing requirements are met.
31
On April 30, 2009 the Company issued a total of 13,340,000 common shares at an estimated fair value of $7 as consideration for the buy down of the royalty owed to the licensor (Querent Technologies) under the original technology license between the Company and that licensor.

There are no loans from the company to any of its officers or directors, or even any of its consultants.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of Common Stock to permit the distribution of these shares of Common Stock by Regal One and the subsequent resale of these shares, at the discretion of each recipient from time to time after the dividend is distributed and should exemptions from registration not be available to these recipients.. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the distribution of the dividend by Regal One, nor the sale by the Regal One dividend recipients of the shares of Common Stock.
Each Regal One dividend recipient (potentially a “Selling Shareholder”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board or any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·
privately negotiated transactions;
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
·
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Shareholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by a Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Regal One Corporation has agreed to pay the fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.
32
Any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed dividend and possible resale shares by the Selling Shareholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities.
Our Articles and Bylaws provide to the fullest extent permitted by Canadian law, that our directors and officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles and Bylaws is to eliminate our right and the right of our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles and By-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act” or “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director or officer as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.
PART II – INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the registrant, directors and officers will be indemnified for any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, or criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action arising by or in the right of the registrant), if such director or officer has been wholly successful on the merits or
34
otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, directors and officers will be indemnified for reasonable expenses in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions or suits by or in the right of registrant if such director or officer has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, except in the case of certain findings by a court that such person is liable for negligence or misconduct in his or her duty to the registrant unless such court also finds that such person is nevertheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
Item 7.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the fiscal year August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010, and in the six-month period ending January 31, 2011, the Company, and its subsidiaries, Rampart Reconnaissance, Inc. (“Reconnaissance”) and Rampart Defense Ltd. (“Defense”) undertook a series of common share issuances and other acquisition transactions.
Acquisition of Reconnaissance
By January 31, 2009, the Company had acquired 24,390,000 of the original 28,500,000 founding common shares of Reconnaissance (incorporated on January 14, 2009 in Nevada), representing an 85.6% interest, at a price of $0.0001 per share for total consideration of $2,439. Reconnaissance had minimal operations and had generated no income. Between September 3, 2009 and November 4, 2009, Reconnaissance issued a total of 5,013,333 of its common shares in connection with the following transactions:
·
2,330,000 common shares at $0.0001 per share for cash proceeds of $233
·
1,200,000 common shares at $0.001 per share for cash proceeds of $1,200
·
1,400,000 common shares at $0.01 per share for services with an estimated fair value of $14,000
·
83,333 common shares at $0.25 per share on conversion of $25,000 in Reconnaissance convertible debt
These shares were all issued under the auspices of Rule 4(2), and bear suitable restrictive legends.
The result of these transactions was an increase in net equity of Reconnaissance and a dilution in Detection’s (the parent’s) holdings in Reconnaissance from 85.6% to 72.8%.
Reconnaissance’s acquisition of equity interest in Defense
Effective April 20, 2010, Reconnaissance entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 12,500,000 outstanding common shares of Defense from a then-shareholder of Defense (Kenneth Swaisland) who is today a director of Reconnaissance. Prior to this transaction, Reconnaissance and Defense were not under common control. The Defense common shares represent approximately 38.7% of the outstanding common shares of Defense. As consideration, Reconnaissance issued a total of 4,166,666 common shares on a 1 for 3 basis in exchange for the Defense common shares.
Rampart Detection Systems’ acquisition of 100% of the non-controlling interests in Reconnaissance in April 2010. On April 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the then non-controlling interests in Reconnaissance by way of a share exchange whereby the former Reconnaissance shareholders received 1 common share of the Company in exchange for every 2 common shares of Reconnaissance. The Company issued a total of 6,645,000 common shares in exchange for the 13,290,000 outstanding common shares of Reconnaissance. Accordingly, as of April 21, 2010 the Company owned 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Reconnaissance.
Reconnaissance acquisition of controlling interest in Defense July 2010. Effective July 15, 2010, Reconnaissance entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 13,700,000 additional outstanding common shares of Defense from an arm’s length shareholder of Defense, Array Capital. The Defense common shares represent approximately 42.3% of the outstanding common shares of Defense bringing Reconnaissance’s holdings in Defense to approximately 81.0% of the outstanding Defense common shares. As consideration, Reconnaissance issued a total of 500,000 shares of redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) with an estimated fair value of $273,600.
The Reconnaissance Preferred Shares are redeemable for cash, along with any unpaid dividends and interest, at a rate of $1.00 per Preferred Share, on the fifth anniversary of issuance. The Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends at a rate of 7% per annum payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. Any balance of unpaid dividends originally payable in cash bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum also payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. In addition to being redeemable on the fifth
35
anniversary, the preferred shares are convertible into common shares of Reconnaissance at the option of the holder provided Reconnaissance has a publicly traded class of common stock. The conversion price is the greater of the 60-day volume weighted average price of Reconnaissance’s common stock, as determined for the first 60 days post initiation of trading, and $0.50 per common share. Based on an assessment of the likelihood of Reconnaissance having a publicly traded class of common stock prior to the fifth anniversary date, it has been determined that the most probable outcome is a redemption of the Preferred Shares for cash on the redemption date. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these Preferred Shares are a liability and accordingly 100% of the fair value has been classified as a preferred share liability. The issue date fair value of this preferred share liability was estimated to be $273,600 based on a fair value analysis of comparable debt having an estimated fair value interest rate of 20%. Over the period from the issue date to the fifth anniversary of the issue date, the carrying value of the preferred share liability will be accreted, by way of charges to interest expense, to the estimated future carrying value of the redeemable face amount of the Preferred Shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends and interest. This issuance was exempt from registration under Rule 4(2)
Royalty Buy-Down. On April 30, 2009 the Company issued a total of 13,340,000 common shares at an estimated fair value of $7 as consideration for the buy down of the royalty owed to the licensor under the original technology license between the Company and licensor. As a result, the royalty required under the original license was reduced from 40% to 5%. The fair value for the buy down was recorded as a development cost during 2009. This issuance was under the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S as the Issuer and the recipient were both foreign entities (or individuals) at the time of the transaction. This transaction was accomplished under Regulation S, between two foreign entities
Convertible Notes.
Between February 16, 2010 and July 31, 2010, the Company issued convertible notes (the “notes”) in the aggregate amount of $1,398,600 maturing between February 13, 2013 and May 31, 2013 all of which bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. At any time prior to maturity, the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may, at the option of the Company, be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at rates ranging from $0.20 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the note financing, the Company paid a total of $110,000 in commissions. In addition, at issuance, each note holder received warrants entitling them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.50 per share to $0.75 per share for periods ending between September 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. A total of 837,500 warrants were issued at various ratios to the original notes. These private placements were exempt from registration under Rule 506 and Rule 4(2).
Between August 1, 2010 and January 31, 2011, the Company received $1,152,000 in exchange for the issue of convertible notes having similar terms to those described above. The notes bear interest at 8%, are convertible into common stock of the Company at $0.40 per share (including accrued interest) at the sole option of the Company, and have warrants attached (in the aggregate) allowing for the issue of 716,948 shares at $0.75 per share, expiring November 30, 2012. This placement was conducted under Rule 4(2).
All notes were retired, by conversion, effective April 30, 2011, causing 7,837,727 common shares to have been issued in payment of $2,696,900 principal and $128,825 in interest.
Common stock issuances
On April 9, 2009 the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0000005 per share for total proceeds of $1.
On April 10, 2009 the Company issued 18,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.00000005 per share for total proceeds of $1.
On April 30, 2009 the Company issued 13,340,000 shares of common stock at an estimated fair value of $7 ($0.0000005 per share) in connection with the technology license royalty buy down (Note 4(c) to the financial statements).
On April 21, 2010 the Company issued 6,645,000 shares of common stock on acquisition of 100% of the non-controlling interests in RRI (Note 3(c) to the financial statements).
Effective February 10, 2011, the Company granted options to directors, key employees and consultants to acquire 1,310,000 common shares. The options are exercisable at $0.40 per share after one year from the grant date. The options expire three years after the date on which they become exercisable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Rampart Detection Systems Ltd. (a development stage company)
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rampart Detection Systems, Ltd. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2010 and the periods from January 9, 2009 (inception) through July 31, 2009 and the period from January 9, 2009 (inception) through July 31, 2010. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2010 and the period from January 9, 2009 (inception) through July 31, 2009 and the period from January 9, 2009 (inception) through July 31, 2010 in conformity 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 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2010
(Audited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Rampart Detection Systems Ltd. (the “Company” or “RDSL”) was incorporated January 9, 2009 in the province of British Columbia, Canada, is a development stage company and is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing a new business. That business has primarily been focused on detection system technology. The Company conducts a portion of its operations through certain subsidiaries all engaged in the same business in defined geographical market areas.
Going concern
The Company commenced operations on January 9, 2009 and as of July 31, 2010 has an accumulated deficit of $949,438. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund ongoing operations and carry out its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. To date the Company has funded its initial operations primarily by way of convertible note financing and advances from related parties.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows. Unless otherwise noted in Note 3, the Company commenced consolidation of the results of operations of the subsidiaries on their date of incorporation.
| | | |
| Jurisdiction of Incorporation | Date of Incorporation | Ownership Interest |
| | | |
Rampart Reconnaissance, Inc. (“RRI”) | Nevada | January 14, 2009 | 100% |
Rampart Defense Ltd. (“RDL”) | Nevada | March 15, 2005 | 81% by RRI |
Rampart Industries Limited (“RIL”) | United Kingdom | June 3, 2009 | 78% |
Rampart Environmental Solutions Inc. (“RES”) | Nevada | June 3, 2010 | 69% |
Rampart Defence Ltd. (“RDL-BC”) | British Columbia | June 17, 2009 | 70% |
(b)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions relate to determining the fair value of non cash stock-based issuances and the useful lives of long-lived assets.
(c)
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by SFAS 7,Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises(codified in ASC 915,Development Stage Entities). The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing a new business. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d)
Accounts Receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are carried at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per year, based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts.
(e)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computer software and equipment and office equipment are depreciated over 24 to 36 months. Leasehold improvements on the Company’s rented office space are depreciated over the term of the lease plus one renewal.
(f)
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue to date consists of amounts earned in connection with a product development agreement between RRI and RDL whereby RRI was required to conduct further development on the technology previously licensed to RDL. Amounts were recognized on completion of the services as agreed to by the parties.
(g)
Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the provision of SFAS 142,Goodwill and Intangible Assets, (codified in ASC 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized and are tested for impairment annually. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to book value of the Company.
(h)
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties and shareholders to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
(i)
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS 128,Earnings per Share(codified in ASC 260,Earnings Per Share), which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) before and after discontinued operations, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period, including contingently issuable shares where the contingency has been resolved. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if- converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
(j)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS 52,Foreign Currency Translation(codified in ASC 830,Foreign Currency Matters), using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
(k)
Product Development Costs
Product development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730,Research and Developmentunless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life, or written off if a product is abandoned. At July 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no deferred product development costs.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(l)
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, (codified in ASC 740,Income Taxes) as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is 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 the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The Company complies with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(“FIN 48”), (codified in ASC 740-10-25,Income Taxes). FIN 48 prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold.
Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.
The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of July 31, 2010 or 2009 that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of July 31, 2010 or 2009.
(j)
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, (codified in ASC 220,Comprehensive Income) establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at July 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
(k)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from parties other than employees in accordance with SFAS 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18, (codified in ASC 505,Equity). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.
(l)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 codified all previously issued accounting pronouncements, eliminating the prior hierarchy of accounting literature, in a single source for authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, now ASC Topic 105-10Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 810 (formerly SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”). The revised guidance establishes new accounting, reporting and disclosure standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other requirements, FASB ASC Topic 810 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires that the net income to be reported include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling net income to be reported include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest.
New authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. FASB ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 855 became effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND SUBSIDIARIES
During the year the Company, Rampart Reconnaissance, Inc. (“RRI”) and Rampart Defense Ltd. (“RDL”) undertook a series of common share issuances and other acquisition transactions as outlined below. These activities were part of an overall corporate reorganization. At the time of the transactions, it was determined that neither RRI nor RDL constituted a business such that business combination purchase accounting is not appropriate. Accordingly, the acquisition transactions have generally been accounted for as reorganization transactions whereby the value of the non-monetary consideration assigned to the common stock issuance has been the carrying value of the underlying net assets acquired.
As further outlined below, in certain instances the acquired assets had a negative carrying value which would have otherwise resulted in a negative value being assigned to the common stock consideration. In these situations, the common stock consideration was assigned a $NIL carrying value which resulted in the initial recognition of an intangible asset on acquisition. Given the development stage of all of the entities and technologies involved, these initially recognized intangibles do not meet the criteria for ongoing capitalization and were immediately impaired and recorded as development costs during the period.
(a)
RRI issuance of common shares to non-controlling interests
Effective January 31, 2009, the Company acquired 24,390,000 of the original 28,500,000 founding common shares of RRI, representing an 85.6% interest, at a price of $0.0001 per share for total consideration of $2,439. Between September 3, 2009 and November 4, 2009, RRI issued a total of 5,013,333 common shares in connection with the following transactions:
·
2,330,000 common shares at $0.0001 per share for cash proceeds of $233
·
1,200,000 common shares at $0.001 per share for cash proceeds of $1,200
·
1,400,000 common shares at $0.01 per share for services with an estimated fair value of $14,000
·
83,333 common shares at $0.25 per share on conversion of $25,000 in RRI convertible debt

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND SUBSIDIARIES (continued)
The result of these transactions was an increase in net equity of RRI and a dilution in RDSL’s holdings in RRI from 85.6% to 72.8%. The increase in the net equity of RRI conferred a benefit on RDSL of $34,602 which would normally have been recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital of RDSL. As this dilution was a component of the overall group reorganization, this amount was included in operations in the period and offset against the development cost charges resulting from the other reorganization transactions.
(a)
RRI acquisition of equity interest in RDL April 2010
Effective April 20, 2010, RRI entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 12,500,000 outstanding common shares of RDL from a shareholder of RDL who is also a director of RRI. Notwithstanding the relationship between RRI and the shareholder of RDL, prior to this transaction, RRI and RDL were not under common control. The RDL common shares represent approximately 38.7% of the outstanding common shares of RDL. As consideration, RRI issued a total of 4,166,666 common shares on a 1 for 3 basis in exchange for the RDL common shares.
The carrying values of the proportionate net assets acquired and resulting values assigned to intangible assets and the non-monetary common share consideration are as follows:

The results of operations of RRI, which are included in those of the Company, include those of RDL on an equity basis for the period from April 20, 2010 to July 15, 2010 (see Note 3 (d) below).
(b)
RDSL acquisition of 100% of the non-controlling interests in RRI in April 2010
Effective April 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the then non-controlling interests in RRI by way of a share exchange whereby the former RRI shareholders received 1 common share of the Company in exchange for every 2 common shares of RRI. The Company issued a total of 6,645,000 common shares in exchange for the 13,290,000 outstanding common shares of RRI. Accordingly, as of April 21, 2010 the Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of RRI.

RRI acquisition of controlling interest in RDL July 2010
Effective July 15, 2010, RRI entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 13,700,000 additional outstanding common shares of RDL from an arm’s length shareholder of RDL. The RDL common shares represent approximately 42.3% of the outstanding common shares of RDL bringing RRI’s holdings in RDL to approximately 81.0% of the outstanding RDL common shares. As consideration, RRI issued a total of 500,000 shares of redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) with an estimated fair value of $273,600.
The RRI Preferred Shares are redeemable for cash, along with any unpaid dividends and interest, at a rate of $1.00 per Preferred Share, on the fifth anniversary of issuance. The Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends at a rate of 7% per annum payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. Any balance of unpaid dividends originally payable in cash bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum also payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. In addition to being redeemable on the fifth anniversary, the preferred shares are convertible into common shares of RRI at the option of the holder provided RRI has a publicly traded class of common stock. The conversion price is the greater of the 60-day volume weighted average price of RRI’s common stock, as determined for the first 60 days post initiation of trading, and $0.50 per common share. Based on an assessment of the likelihood of RRI having a publicly traded class of common stock prior to the fifth anniversary date, it has been determined that the most probable outcome is a redemption of the Preferred Shares for cash on the redemption date. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these Preferred Shares are a liability and accordingly 100% of the fair value has been classified as a preferred share liability. The issue date fair value of this preferred share liability was estimated to be $273,600 based on a fair value analysis of comparable debt having an estimated fair value interest rate of 20%. Over the period from the issue date to the fifth anniversary of the issue date, the carrying value of the preferred share liability will be accreted, by way of charges to interest expense, to the estimated future carrying value of the redeemable face amount of the Preferred Shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends and interest.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Between February 16, 2010 and July 31, 2010, the Company issued convertible notes (the “notes”) in the aggregate amount of $1,398,600 maturing between February 13, 2013 and May 31, 2013 all of which bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. At any time prior to maturity, the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may, at the option of the Company, be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at rates ranging from $0.20 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the note financing, the Company paid a total of $110,000 in commissions. In addition, at issuance each note holder received warrants entitling them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.50 per share to $0.75 per share for periods ending between September 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. A total of 837,500 warrants were issued at various ratios to the original notes.
Management determined that the notes did not contain embedded beneficial conversion features and accordingly, the note proceeds were allocated solely between the notes (the debt component) and the warrants (the equity component). Given the relatively short history of the Company and the lack of any market for trading in the Company’s common stock, it was determined that there was no reliable basis for estimating the stand alone fair value of the warrants. Accordingly, the fair value of the debt component was estimated and the residual was allocated to the warrants. The estimated fair value of the debt component was determined based on analysis of comparable debt having an estimated fair value interest rate of 20%. The issue date allocation of the net proceeds was as follows:
| | | |
| Allocated to Notes | Allocated to Warrants |
Total |
| | | |
Convertible note proceeds | $ 1,024,200 | $ 374,400 | $ 1,398,600 |
Less: commissions | (80,700) | (29,300) | (110,000) |
| | | |
| $ 943,500 | $ 345,100 | $ 1,288,600 |
The amount allocated to the warrants was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount and portion of commissions allocated to the notes are being accreted over the term of the note using the effective interest amortization method. To July 31, 2010 the Company recorded accrued interest on the notes totaling $14,699 and accretion totaling $14,372 resulting in a carrying value of the notes of $957,872.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Rampart Detection Systems Ltd. (the “Company” or “RDSL”) was incorporated January 9, 2009 in the province of British Columbia, Canada, is a development stage company and is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing a new business. That business has primarily been focused on detection system technology. The Company conducts a portion of its operations through certain subsidiaries all engaged in the same business in defined geographical market areas.
Going concern
The Company commenced operations on January 9, 2009 and as of January 31, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of $1,690,058. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund ongoing operations and carry out its business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. To date the Company has funded its initial operations primarily by way of convertible note financing and advances from related parties.
Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form F-1. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2010 included in the Company’s filing on Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Form F-1. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2011.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and net earnings are reduced by the portion of the net earnings of subsidiaries applicable to non-controlling interests. The Company’s subsidiaries are as follows. Unless otherwise noted in Note 3, the Company commenced consolidation of the results of operations of the subsidiaries on their date of incorporation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(a)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions relate to determining the fair value of non cash stock-based issuances and the useful lives of long-lived assets.
(b)
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by SFAS 7,Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises(codified in ASC 915,Development Stage Entities). The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing a new business. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
(c)
Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the provision of SFAS 142,Goodwill and Intangible Assets, (codified in ASC 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) which revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized and are tested for impairment annually. The determination of any impairment would include a comparison of estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life with the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to book value of the Company.
(d)
Accounts Receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are carried at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per year, based on past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts.
(e)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computer software and equipment and office equipment are depreciated over 24 to 36 months. Leasehold improvements on the Company’s rented office space are depreciated over the term of the lease plus one renewal.
(f)
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue to date consists of amounts earned in connection with a product development agreement between RRI and RDL whereby RRI was required to conduct further development on the technology previously licensed to RDL. Amounts were recognized on completion of the services as agreed to by the parties.
(g)
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk
The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties and shareholders to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or relatively short maturity of these instruments. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
(h)
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS 128,Earnings per Share(codified in ASC 260,Earnings Per Share), which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) before and after discontinued operations, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period, including contingently issuable shares where the contingency has been resolved. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if- converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
(i)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS 52,Foreign Currency Translation(codified in ASC 830,Foreign Currency Matters), using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has had minimal transactions resulting in a nominal amount of Other Comprehensive Income and therefore none is reflected in the financial statements.
(j)
Product Development Costs
Product development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred in accordance with ASC 730,Research and Developmentunless they meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility, as determined by management, including but not limited to the establishment of a clearly defined future market for the product, and the availability of adequate resources to complete the project. If all criteria are met, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected useful life, or written off if a product is abandoned. At January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, the Company had no deferred product development costs.
(k)
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, (codified in ASC 740,Income Taxes) as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is 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 the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The Company complies with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(“FIN 48”), (codified in ASC 740-10-25,Income Taxes). FIN 48 prescribes recognition thresholds that must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold.
Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.
The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2011 or July 31, 2010 that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax issues as components of income tax expense. The Company did not recognize or have any accrual for interest and penalties relating to income taxes as of January 31, 2011 or July 31, 2010.
(j)
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, (codified in ASC 220,Comprehensive Income) establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010 the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock-Based CompensationThe Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from parties other than employees in accordance with SFAS 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18, (codified in ASC 505,Equity). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.
(k)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 810 (formerly SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”). The revised guidance establishes new accounting, reporting and disclosure standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other requirements, FASB ASC Topic 810 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company in the consolidated financial statements within the equity section, but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires that the net income to be reported include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling net income to be reported include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest.
New authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. FASB ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 855 became effective for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS AND SUBSIDIARIES
During fiscal 2010 the Company, Rampart Reconnaissance, Inc. (“RRI”) and Rampart Defense Ltd. (“RDL”) undertook a series of common share issuances and other acquisition transactions as outlined below. These activities were part of an overall corporate reorganization. At the time of the transactions, it was determined that neither RRI nor RDL constituted a business such that business combination purchase accounting was not appropriate. Accordingly, the acquisition transactions have generally been accounted for as reorganization transactions whereby the value of the non-monetary consideration assigned to the common stock issuance has been the carrying value of the underlying net assets acquired.
As further outlined below, in certain instances the acquired assets had a negative carrying value which would have otherwise resulted in a negative value being assigned to the common stock consideration. In these situations, the common stock consideration was assigned a $NIL carrying value which resulted in the initial recognition of an

intangible asset on acquisition. Given the development stage of all of the entities and technologies involved, these initially recognized intangibles do not meet the criteria for ongoing capitalization and were immediately impaired and recorded as development costs during the period.
RRI issuance of common shares to non-controlling interestsEffective January 31, 2009, the Company acquired 24,390,000 of the original 28,500,000 founding common shares of RRI, representing an 85.6% interest, at a price of $0.0001 per share for total consideration of $2,439. Between September 3, 2009 and November 4, 2009, RRI issued a total of 5,013,333 common shares in connection with the following transactions:
·
2,330,000 common shares at $0.0001 per share for cash proceeds of $233
·
1,200,000 common shares at $0.001 per share for cash proceeds of $1,200
·
1,400,000 common shares at $0.01 per share for services with an estimated fair value of $14,000
·
83,333 common shares at $0.25 per share on conversion of $25,000 in RRI convertible debt
The result of these transactions was an increase in net equity of RRI and a dilution in RDSL’s holdings in RRI from 85.6% to 72.8%. The increase in the net equity of RRI conferred a benefit on RDSL of $34,602 ($38,139 for the period ended January 31, 2010) which would normally have been recorded as an increase in additional paid in capital of RDSL. As this dilution was a component of the overall group reorganization, this amount was included in operations in the period and offset against the development cost charges resulting from the other reorganization transactions.
(a)
RRI acquisition of equity interest in RDL April 2010
Effective April 20, 2010, RRI entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 12,500,000 outstanding common shares of RDL from a shareholder of RDL who is also a director of RRI. Notwithstanding the relationship between RRI and the shareholder of RDL, prior to this transaction, RRI and RDL were not under common control. The RDL common shares represent approximately 38.7% of the outstanding common shares of RDL. As consideration, RRI issued a total of 4,166,666 common shares on a 1 for 3 basis in exchange for the RDL common shares.
The carrying values of the proportionate net assets acquired and resulting values assigned to intangible assets and the non-monetary common share consideration are as follows:

Effective April 21, 2010, the Company acquired all of the then non-controlling interests in RRI by way of a share exchange whereby the former RRI shareholders received 1 common share of the Company in exchange for every 2 common shares of RRI. The Company issued a total of 6,645,000 common shares in exchange for the 13,290,000 outstanding common shares of RRI. Accordingly, as of April 21, 2010 the Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of RRI.

RRI acquisition of controlling interest in RDL July 2010
Effective July 15, 2010, RRI entered into an agreement to acquire, by way of a share exchange, 13,700,000 additional outstanding common shares of RDL from an arm’s length shareholder of RDL. The RDL common shares represent approximately 42.3% of the outstanding common shares of RDL bringing RRI’s holdings in RDL to approximately 81.0% of the outstanding RDL common shares. As consideration, RRI issued a total of 500,000 shares of redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) with an estimated fair value of $273,600.
The RRI Preferred Shares are redeemable for cash, along with any unpaid dividends and interest, at a rate of $1.00 per Preferred Share, on the fifth anniversary of issuance. The Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends at a rate of 7% per annum payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. Any balance of unpaid dividends originally payable in cash bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum also payable in cash or additional Preferred Shares. In addition to being redeemable on the fifth anniversary, the preferred shares are convertible into common shares of RRI at the option of the holder provided RRI has a publicly traded class of common stock. The conversion price is the greater of the 60-day volume weighted average price of RRI’s common stock, as determined for the first 60 days post initiation of trading, and $0.50 per common share. Based on an assessment of the likelihood of RRI having a

publicly traded class of common stock prior to the fifth anniversary date, it has been determined that the most probable outcome is a redemption of the Preferred Shares for cash on the redemption date. Accordingly, the Company has determined that these Preferred Shares are a liability and accordingly 100% of the fair value has been classified as a preferred share liability. The issue date fair value of this preferred share liability was estimated to be $273,600 based on a fair value analysis of comparable debt having an estimated fair value interest rate of 20%. Over the period from the issue date to the fifth anniversary of the issue date, the carrying value of the preferred share liability will be accreted, by way of charges to interest expense, to the estimated future carrying value of the redeemable face amount of the Preferred Shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends and interest.
The carrying values of the net assets acquired and the resulting value assigned to intangible assets are as follows:

Cash in bank | | $ 5 |
Accounts payable and accruals | | (1,096) |

The results of operations of RRI, which are included in those of the Company, include those of RDL on a consolidated basis for the period from July 15, 2010 to July 31, 2010.
During the period ended January 31, 2011, the Company recorded accretion of $30,927 resulting in an increase in the carrying value of the preferred share liability to $304,527 as of January 31, 2011 (July 31, 2010 - $273,600).

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Between February 16, 2010 and July 31, 2010, the Company issued convertible notes (the “notes”) in the aggregate amount of $1,398,600 maturing between February 13, 2013 and May 31, 2013 all of which bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. At any time prior to maturity, the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may, at the option of the Company, be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at rates ranging from $0.20 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the note financing, the Company paid a total of $110,000 in commissions. In addition, at issuance each note holder received warrants entitling them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.50 per share to $0.75 per share for periods ending between September 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. A total of 837,500 warrants were issued at various ratios to the original notes.
Between August 9, 2010 and January 18, 2011, the Company issued convertible notes (the “notes”) in the aggregate amount of $615,000 all of which mature May 31, 2013 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. At any time prior to maturity, the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may, at the option of the Company, be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at rates ranging from $0.30 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the note financing, the Company paid a total of $61,500 in commissions. In addition, at issuance each note holder received warrants entitling them to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.75 per share to November 30, 2012. A total of 254,323 warrants were issued at various ratios to the original notes.
Management determined that the notes did not contain embedded beneficial conversion features and accordingly, the note proceeds were allocated solely between the notes (the debt component) and the warrants (the equity component). Given the relatively short history of the Company and the lack of any market for trading in the Company’s common stock, it was determined that there was no reliable basis for estimating the stand alone fair value of the warrants. Accordingly, the fair value of the debt component was estimated and the residual was allocated to the warrants. The estimated fair value of the debt component was determined based on analysis of comparable debt having an estimated fair value interest rate of 20%. The issue date allocation of the net proceeds was as follows:
| | | |
| Allocated to Notes | Allocated to Warrants |

Convertible note proceeds | $ 1,024,200 | $ 374,400 | $ 1,398,600 |

Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any registration statement or prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the registration statement or prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for determining our liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering of our securities pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, we will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus that we file relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on our behalf or used or referred to by us;

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
