FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements (pages F-1 through F-3)
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete
presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows and
stockholders' deficit in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the results of operation and financial position have
been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Operating results for the quarter ended August 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending May 31, 1999.
ITEM 2. Management's Plan of Operation.
Pursuant to an Agreement made and entered into on February 25th 1998
Grandeur Inc. (the "Company") issued and delivered on February 26, 1998,
12,848,300 shares of its Common Stock bearing a restrictive legend to 3127575
Canada Inc., a Canadian Corporation, in exchange for which issuance, it acquired
all of the outstanding shares of 3127575 Canada Inc. Through 3127575 Canada
Inc., the Company has become the exclusive licensee of the del-ID technology for
personal identification by means of electronic scanning of finger
characteristics. 3127575 Canada Inc., obtained these exclusive rights by the
Exclusive License Agreement dated November 12, 1997 between it and Pierre de
Lanauze, inventor of the del-ID technology.
The transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. Also, because the
12,848,300 shares were issued solely to non-U.S. persons, the transaction
qualified for exemption under Rules 901 et seq.
of Regulation S.
Following the above transaction the former shareholders of 3127575 Canada
Inc. owned 92.78% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
The del-ID technology permits precise and positive authentication of
the identity of any living individual and is applicable to a wide range of
financial transactions where authentication of the individual is necessary to
eliminate fraud and other improper use of services. The del-ID system collects
biological data from the finger image of the individual and transfers the image
to a unique electronic signature called the "del-gram". The del-gram is not a
digitized bitmap image of the finger, but a synthesized subset of biological
data sufficient to identify the individual.
Patent protection is currently pending for the del-ID system in the
United States. The International Preliminary Examination Report was issued in
accordance with the Patent
<PAGE>
Cooperation Treaty application (PCT) that included 82 countries. The Examiner
has recognized and acknowledged the inventive step, the novelty and the
industrial applicability by accepting all of the 11 claims represented by the
technology.
In April 1998, 3127575 Canada Inc. signed an agreement with the "Centre
de Recherche en Informatique de Montreal (CRIM)" for a scientific evaluation of
the technology. The evaluation holds two topics. The primary one covers
theoretical and accurate applications. The secondary covers the implementation
of a study in a controlled laboratory environment. Here are the following
details of the laboratory :
- - The basic analysis of the technology ( technical specifications).
- - Practical applications in simulated commercial environment such as
banking, telephony, e-commerce etc.
The primary topic analysis has been done by the CRIM in collaboration
with a major American University. The positive results have been published and
shall be available soon on the delSecur web site at delsecur.com.
The secondary topic is presently in the making and will be done in
collaboration with majors firms who are well recognized in their fields of
activity. These majors firms will sponsor part of the implementation costs of
the laboratory studies. For the time frame and more details about this section,
we refer the reader to the delSecur web site.
Commercial applications of the del-ID technology are numerous and
include access to the information highway/internet, identification of employees
working from a home office and requiring access to certain databases or
informations, health cards, social insurance cards, drivers' licenses, passport
control encryptions and access to confidential files, control of payment by
debit or credit payment systems such as credit cards, smartcards, authentication
of oral telephone ordering, access control to sensitive areas, hotel room
access, cellular and digital telephone controls, automobile entry and
protection, census and election control, door locks, vault locks, residential
alarm system controls, timesheet management, student file management and many
others.
The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in the
business in which it proposes to engage. It is likely that the competing
entities will have significantly greater experience, resources, facilities,
contacts and managerial expertise than the Company and will, consequently, be in
a better position than the Company to obtain access to and to engage in the
proposed business. Therefore it is to our advantage to associate ourselves to
such major firms by gaining credibility and recognition. This enables us to use
their know how, their resources and networking.
The Company will not manufacture del-ID cards or card readers directly.
This will tend to minimize the capital requirements of the Company, its
principal activities being limited to marketing the del-ID system to
manufacturers and/or users internationally. Anticipated sources of revenue are
license fees payable by government agencies and
<PAGE>
corporate entities for the right to manufacture, use or sell cards and card
readers incorporating the del-ID system, as well as royalty payments by such
entities for each card and reader employed in a del-ID system. We anticipate the
first commercial revenue in twelve months from the present.
As of August 31, 1998, the Company's balance sheet showed an
accumulated deficit of $2,168,895, an increase of $282,051 during the first
quarter. Operations to date have been financed principally by loans from senior
management and others. Additional unsecured loan facilities continue to be
available and are believed by management to be sufficient to finance operations
over the next several months, pending the anticipated initial receipt of
contract revenues during the second half of the 1999 fiscal year. No financing
involving the issuance of additional shares is presently contemplated.
The Company had a net loss of $282,051 for the three months ended August
31, 1998.
The Company will continue to seek marketing opportunities for product
licensing with governmental agencies and corporate entities on a world-wide
basis.
As the Company will be engaged in securing licensing contracts for use
of its existing del-ID technology, no significant expansion of the physical
plant, equipment or number of employees is foreseen for the period of the next
twelve months.
