8. PURCHASE OF 1280884 ONTARIO INC.
In February 1998, the Company acquired all the shares of 1280884 Ontario
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary North York Leasing Limited. The Company
issued 3,720,000 Common Shares to the vendors of these companies at a price of
25 cents per share representing a cost of $930,000 and is required to issue
additional shares to these vendors, if during any one consecutive 60-day trading
period between April 1998 and February 1999, the average closing price of the
Company's Common Shares is less than 25 cents, so that the total consideration
is the equivalent of $930,000. The Company has instituted legal action against
the legal firm that represented all the parties in the above transaction and
that acted as escrow agent for the above shares and is claiming that these
shares should be cancelled and that damages be paid to the Company. No provision
has been made for the issue of any additional shares to the vendors of these
companies.
The Company sold the above companies in June 1998 to an unrelated party for
a nominal sum. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the purchaser and the
secured creditors of 1280884 Ontario Inc. and North York Leasing Limited granted
the Company a full release of all its obligations concerning 1280884 Ontario
Inc. and North York Leasing Limited. The Company wrote off its investment in
these companies at the end of March 1998.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation
Results of Operations
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements and
projections. Because these forward-looking statements and projections are based
on a number of assumptions and are subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control, there is no
assurance that they will be realized, and actual results may vary significantly
from those shown.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
The Company is a development stage company with a limited history of
operations. It was incorporated on January 12, 1996.
The Company recorded no revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to sales of $9,710 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The sales
for the prior year were comprised of the sale of certain VideoBank products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 were $95,747 as compared to $349,211 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. This decrease is due to the closing of the California office in
September 1997 and a reduction in staff due to the outsourcing of research and
development activities.
The net loss before extraordinary items for the three months ended June 30,
1998 was $101,446 compared to a loss of $411,346 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The loss for 1998 is due to the lack of revenue, as the Company was
not able to sell any products during this period and, accordingly, was unable to
recover any of its expenses. The loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998
was lower than the loss for the corresponding period for the prior year, because
the Company had lower operating costs as a result of the closing of the
California office in September 1997 and the outsourcing of research and
development activities.
-8-
Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
The Company recorded no revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to sales of $521,179 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Most of
the sales for the prior year arose from a one-time barter sale which was
reversed at the end of 1997. The Company was unable to recover the proceeds of
this sale and credited the sale in the fourth quarter of the 1997 fiscal year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30, 1998 were $170,884 as compared to $370,626 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. This decrease is due to the closing of the California office in September
1997 and a reduction in staff due to the outsourcing of research and development
activities.
The net loss before extraordinary items for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was $170,884 as compared to a loss of $370,626 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The loss for 1998 is due to the lack of revenue, as the Company
was not able to sell any products during this period and, accordingly, was
unable to recover any of its expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash on hand and in trust of $109,975 at June 30, 1998. In
order to finance future operations, the Company needs to raise additional funds
through the issue of additional shares and debt.
Plan of Operation
The Company's efforts continue to center on the development and
distribution of its Global Positioning Satellite tracking devices and VideoBank
and VideoBank-Remote video surveillance products. The Company has worked on
developing and solidifying its manufacturer's representative network by entering
into distribution or sales representation agreements with manufacturers and
developers of software-based video surveillance systems, developing its
advertising and promotional materials and customer database, and planning a
public relations campaign, and will continue to work on all of these activities.
The Company currently plans to continue using its existing marketing and
distribution methods; but, also is reviewing and evaluating these methods in
order to determine whether better or more efficient practices may be available.
The Company also will continue to concentrate on generating revenues from
existing relationships with businesses that are already familiar with the
Company's products and have expressed a willingness to buy. The Company will
continue to concentrate particularly on consolidating its distribution networks,
cementing its client relationships, and establishing an image and brand-name
recognition for the Company in the marketplace in which it competes.
The Company does not currently have any intentions to acquire a plant or
any significant equipment, as the Company's warehouse and production facility
-9-
requirements are minimal. The Company may increase the number of its employees
as it continues to grow and further solidifies and consolidates its distribution
networks.
The Company intends to raise additional funds on an as-needed basis to
finance its future activities through the issuance and sale of additional shares
of stock, the sale of new products and assumption of additional debt.
Purchase of 1280884 Ontario Inc.
In February 1998, the Company acquired all the shares of 1280884 Ontario
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary North York Leasing Limited (collectively,
the "1280884 Group"). The Company issued 3,720,000 Common Shares to the vendors
of the 1280884 Group at a price of 25 cents per share representing a cost of
$930,000 and is required to issue additional shares to these vendors if during
any one consecutive 60 day trading period between April 1998 and February 1999,
the average closing price of the Company's shares is less than 25 cents, so that
the total consideration is the equivalent of $930,000. The Company has
instituted a legal action against the legal firm that represented all the
parties in the above transaction and that acted as the escrow agent for the
above shares and is claiming that these shares should be canceled and that
damages be paid to the Company.
The Company sold the 1280884 Group in June 1998 to an unrelated party for a
nominal sum. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the purchaser and the
secured creditors of the 1280884 Group granted the Company a full release from
all its obligations concerning the 1280884 Group. The Company wrote off its
investment in the 1280884 Group at the end of March 1998.
