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 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 escrow agents for the above shares and is claiming that these shares be
canceled 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 wrote off its investment in the above companies in March 1998,
as there were insufficient funds to finance their operations, and the value of
the investment had materially declined.
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 1998 as
compared to sales of $511,469 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Most of
the sales for the prior year arose from a one-time barter sale. 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 three months ended
March 31, 1998 were $63,789 as compared to $326,287 for the three months ended
March 31, 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 March
31, 1998 was $69,438 compared to a profit of $40,720 for the three months ended
March 31, 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 of $22,347 at March 31, 1998. In order to
finance future operations, the Company needs to raise additional funds through
the issuance of additional shares and debt. The Company raised $247,123 during
the first six months of 1998 through the issuance of additional shares.
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
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.

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 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 escrow agents for the above shares and is claiming that these shares be
canceled and that damages be paid to the Company.
At the time of the purchase, the Company anticipated that 1280884 Ontario
Inc. and North York Leasing Inc. ("1280884 Group") would be able to raise
sufficient funds to finance their operations. However, the 1280884 Group was not
able to raise the required financing, and the Company was unable to finance
these operations. As a result, the Company began to search for a purchase for
the 1280884 Group. The value of the 1280884 Group materially declined, and the
Company accordingly decided to write off its investment in the 1280884 Group at
the end of March 1998.
