Note 8. POWERLOC ACQUISITION
On March 29, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Power Point
Micro Systems Inc. and PowerLOC Technologies, Inc, both of which are based in
Toronto, Ontario. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method. PowerLOC Technologies, Inc. is a research and development company that
has developed a low-cost, miniature mobile-location GPS unit that transmits its
position to a base station through existing PCS, pager or cellular phone
wireless networks. Management has determined that there are alternative future
uses for the technology. Power Point Micro Systems Inc. is an international
telecommunications consulting firm specializing in wireless and wireline, voice
and data systems integration. Consideration was as follows:

Note 9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 1998, the Company acquired all the shares of 1280884 Ontario Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiary North York Leasing Inc. (the "Acquired
Companies"). The Company issued 3,720,000 Common Shares to the vendors of the
Acquired Companies at a price of 25 cents per share representing a cost of
$930,000 and was 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 was less than 25 cents, so
that the total consideration was the equivalent of $930,000. The Company has
instituted legal action against the legal firm who represented all the parties
in the above transaction and who was the escrow agents for the above shares and
is claiming that these shares be canceled and that damages be paid to the
Company. In February and March 2000, the Company obtained a release from certain
vendors of the Acquired Companies who held 3,255,999 Common Shares. These
vendors agreed to waive their rights to receive any additional shares in
connection with this transaction. No provision has been made in the financial
statements for the issuance of any additional shares to the vendors who own
464,001 Common Shares and who have not yet agreed to a release.
In March 2000 the Company was named as the defendant in lawsuits brought by
Luigi Brun and by Pines International, Inc. in Canada. The complaints seek
specific performance and monetary damages arising out of disputes relating to an
alleged obligation to issue common shares. The Company believes these claims are
without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits. It is not possible
at this time to predict the outcome of the lawsuits, including whether the
Company will be forced to issue common shares or to estimate the amount or range
of potential loss, if any.
In April 2000, the Company was named as the defendant in a lawsuit brought
Barrett Evans in the United States District Court, Central District of
California. The complaint seeks specific performance, monetary damages and
injunctive relief arising out of a dispute relating to the terms of a
convertible promissory note. The Company believes this claim is without merit
and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. It is not possible at this time to
predict the outcome of the lawsuit, including whether the Company will be forced
to issue common shares or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if
any.
NOTE 10. RECLASSIFICATION
Certain items in the interim financial statements have been reclassified and the
amounts for the prior period have been restated accordingly.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation
The discussion below contains certain forward-looking statements (as such
term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are
based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made
by, and information currently available to, the Company's management. The
Company's results, performance and achievements in 2000 and beyond could differ
materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any such forward-looking
statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 As Compared to the Three Months Ended March
31, 1999
The Company recorded no sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
March 31, 1999. The Company expects to start earning licensing revenue from the
patent agency agreement in the second quarter of 2000. The Company expects to
have its PowerLOC products ready for distribution towards the end of the current
fiscal year.
Selling, General and Administration Expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2000 were $271,740 as compared to $146,729 for the three months ended March
31, 1999. The increase is mainly due to higher professional fees and costs
related to the patent agency agreement. As a result of the acquisition of
PowerLOC Technologies, Inc., the Company expects to increase its operating
expenses substantially in the future by hiring additional staff and incurring
additional research and development, selling, marketing and administrative
costs. The Company also expects to incur additional licensing costs as it
increases its patent licensing activities.
The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 amounted to $298,685 as
compared to a loss of $157,317 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
higher loss is due to the increased selling, general and administration
expenses, higher interest charges and the amortization of the patent agency
agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had cash on hand of $1,003,837 at March 31, 2000. The Company
raised over $1,600,000 for cash during the first quarter, through the price paid
to exercise stock options and warrants and through the issuance of common
shares. As of May 9, 2000, the Company had approximately $700,000 cash on hand.
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 and the assumption of additional debt and government funding, although
there can be no assurance that such financing will be available when needed or,
if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company and its stockholders.
The Company does not have any commitments for capital expenditures and believes
that its current cash balances will be sufficient to meet its operating and
development needs for at least the next six months. If the Company has not
obtained additional financing prior to that time it will need to delay or
eliminate some of its development activities.
-12-
<PAGE>
Plan of Operation
The Company is the exclusive licensing agent for a broad based patent which
covers an invention comprising a portable locating unit useful both as a
cellular telephone and portable global positioning system that provides latitude
and longitude information remotely to a base unit display. The system includes a
small hand held receiver that receives signals from a satellite GPS and timing
and computing circuits to provide location information signals. The hand held
unit also includes a modem and transmitter to a cellular telephone network,
which is connected to the base unit computational system and display. The
location of an individual or object can thus be determined at the remote station
through the use of the cellular telephone network. The Company plans to license
parties using this process and expects to earn licensing revenue from these
agreements. The Company announced the signing of its first licensee in April
2000. As a result of the acquisition of PowerLOC Technologies Inc. and the
projected growth in wireless location services, the Company is increasing its
development activities relating to the miniature GPS tracking device. The
Company plans to negotiate distribution or sales representation agreements with
manufacturers and systems integrators to distribute these products and in May
2000 announced a strategic alliance with Compugen Systems Ltd. of Richmond Hill,
Ontario to distribute and license the PowerLOC products. The Company also plans
to hire a public relations and advertising firm.
The Company does not currently have any intentions to acquire a plant or
any significant equipment, as the Company plans to subcontract its manufacturing
activities. The Company plans to hire additional technical, sales and
administrative employees prior to December 2000 and is also considering the
acquisition of companies or businesses with complementary technologies.
Research and Development
A significant amount of time and effort was placed on research and
development at the Company's inception. The Company uses contractors and third
party companies to continue its research and development activities. The Company
plans to hire a number of engineers for its PowerLOC subsidiary, who will be
responsible for part of the development and who will supervise the work done by
the contractors and third party engineers.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
