PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
The Company was incorporated May 11, 1998 as Scientific Technologies,
Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware. The name of the Company
was changed to Northstar Electronics, Inc. (NEI) in
September, 1999. Subsequently, there has been no material
reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of any
significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of
business. There have been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceedings.
The business of the Company is primarily that of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Northstar Technical Inc. (NTI) and
Northstar Network Ltd. (NNL).
NTI develops, manufactures and sells undersea wireless sonar
communications systems and produces, under contract, defense and
aerospace electronic systems.
NNL was incorporated to pursue defense, aerospace and homeland security
contract manufacturing opportunities.
Sonar Products and Technologies
NTI developed a wireless communications technology with undersea
applications. The technology is used in underwater sensing devices
and can send information from one place in the ocean to another
place. The electronic sensors take certain measurements that are then
transmitted using underwater sound waves to a receiving unit, which
processes the data and displays it on a computer monitor. The
technology has many potential uses in a variety of industries
including offshore oil and gas, defense, marine transportation,
oceanography, environmental and fishing.
Homeland Security and Military Defense
The Company expects that design and manufacture of
homeland security and anti-terrorism systems will grow to become a
major component of Northstar’s business over the next five
years as the United States Department of Homeland Security and the
United States Navy launches and ramps up its efforts to protect
ports, shore side high value assets, and ships from terrorists.
Northstar Electronics has designed and is manufacturing sonar
hardware for homeland security and military defense systems. These
systems are designed to detect and track combat divers and explosive
laden underwater vehicles and are intended to protect naval ships,
harbors and ports.
Research and Development - AQUACOMM
AQUACOMM is a $2.5Million fully funded in-house
research and development program at Northstar that was created
specifically to develop new, leading edge multiple application sonar
technologies and products for a variety of industries, including:
defense, offshore oil and gas, commercial fishing, oceanography,
marine environment and marine transportation. The Company has
received funding for this project from the Canadian Federal
Government’s Atlantic Innovation Fund and the National Research
Council, as well as from equity investment. Scheduled to last until
March 31, 2006, Northstar believes that AQUACOMM will result in the
development of several new technologies during this period. To date,
Northstar has expended $2,165,273 on this development program and has
recovered $1,441,832.
Northstar intends to use its Venture Technology
Business Model to maximize the success of AQUACOMM technologies. In
this model, a technology developed through AQUACOMM will be partnered
with an established company in a specific industry sector. One
example could be the co-development of a military underwater
communications system. Northstar would develop the “wet”
end and an established defense contractor would be responsible for
the “dry” end. Since the defense contractor is well
established in the field, it would be the defense contractor that
would undertake the product introduction, marketing and sales
efforts. Another example of the type of technology that could be
developed under AQUACOMM is the development of a Subsea wireless
communications system for the offshore oil and gas industry.
Northstar expects to develop such a system and intends to market the
system through a strategic alliance with an international oil field
communications company.
Northstar believes it can build on its expertise
in sonar technology and marine engineering to become a Commercial Sonar Center
of Excellence upon the completion of its AQUACOMM program.
The NETMIND System
The first application of NTI’s core technology is the NETMIND
system. NTI developed, manufactures and markets this product for the
world’s commercial fishing industry.
The NETMIND Market
NETMIND was introduced to the fishing industry in late 1996. To date,
approximately 230 systems have been sold in North America, Europe,
Ireland, Spain, New Zealand and Russia. The targeted customers have
been strategic in that they are industry leaders and government
agencies. They include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) in the United States, the United States
Department of the Interior and the Federal Department of Fisheries
and Oceans and Fishery Products International in Canada. Customer
feedback has shown that the NETMIND system enhances efficiency,
reduces gear damage and improves catch quality.
Raw Material Sources and Availability
Raw materials for the manufacture of the NETMIND system are available
from various sources. The principal suppliers are as follows:
Compass Ltd. - stainless steel chamber and end caps for sensors, mounting
flanges for hull mounted hydrophone and other miscellaneous stainless
steel parts
MF Composites - polyurethane, resin and hardener
Battery Specialists - battery chargers
Mercury Wire Products - tow cable for hydrophone
Electrosonic - electronic components
Future Active Inc. - electronic components
UPE - circuit boards
Enerpower - battery packs
To date, NTI has received parts, supplies and materials from these
suppliers in a timely fashion and has met its production schedules.
In our efforts to reduce costs, we now produce transducers and other
components in house.
Major Customer Dependency – NETMIND
NTI has sold approximately 230 NETMIND systems to over 150 different
customers with no dependence on one or a few major customers.
Competition – NETMIND
The system has one main competitor, Scanmar in Norway, which is a private
company. Little information is available to the public on Scanmar;
however, we believe that NETMIND has technical advantages over their
system. This belief is based on our testing program, which
established our technical specifications, and on information gleaned
from Scanmar. We have no direct access to any competitor’s test
data.
The NETMIND and Scanmar systems consist of wireless acoustic sensors used
underwater and both systems operate by illustrating how the fishing
net is behaving while being towed. However, unlike its competitors,
NETMIND sensors are fully serviceable. The electronic circuitry is
contained in stainless steel cylinders within each component and is
easily removed for repair by opening the end cap.
We believe that NETMIND components have a longer battery life and a more
effective communication over a longer distance than its competitor.
We believe the rugged design of various NETMIND components has
surpassed competitor’s designs in that NETMIND’s unique
components require very little maintenance.
While NETMIND continues to expand its market presence, we believe the
Company is smaller in size and resources when compared to its
competitor. NTI’s staff numbers nineteen while we believe
Scanmar employs many times that number. Also, we believe the
competitor’s facilities are substantially larger and more
costly than NTI’s.
Distribution of the NETMIND System
NETMIND is sold directly to customers by our own sales staff and through
marine electronics dealers. We have dealer representation in Canada,
the United States, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain,
Denmark and South Africa. We support all sales efforts with product
brochures, pamphlets, and customer testimonials and with booths at
trade shows such as Fish Expo in Seattle, Washington. We also
advertise in trade magazines, notably ‘The Navigator’ and
‘Fishing News International’. Articles on the NETMIND
have appeared recently in ‘National Fisherman’, Alaskan
Fisherman’s Journal’ and ‘SEA Technology’.
Technology Protection – NETMIND
Since commercializing NETMIND in 1996, NTI has made many enhancements to
its system. These activities have resulted in an optimum design for
which a patent application may be submitted. The technology is
difficult to replicate because of its sophistication and, regardless
of patent protection, it is expected it would take several years for
a new player to reach parity with the present system.
The Company has obtained Canadian trademark rights to the name NETMIND
effective for fifteen years from August 24, 1999. No other
intellectual property related applications have been filed or
prepared. In the meantime, NTI continues to develop new and
innovative NETMIND products.
Need for Government Approvals – NETMIND
There are no Government approvals required for the NETMIND system in the
areas it is currently sold.
Effect of Existing or Probable Government regulations – NETMIND
There is no effect on the Company’s sales arising from government
regulations and the Company does not anticipate any change to this in
the future.
Research and Development Expenditures – NETMIND
NTI has carried out research and development activities on NETMIND
enhancements in 2004. None of these costs were borne directly by
customers nor did these costs directly affect NTI’s pricing
structure.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws – NETMIND
NTI has incurred no costs nor suffered any effects to maintain compliance
with any environmental laws.
CONTRACT MANUFACTURING (CM)
NEI’s second business activity, conducted
through both its subsidiary companies (NTI and NNL) is contract
manufacturing where the Company produces electronic systems under
contract to the defense and aerospace industry (called ‘build
to print’). We build products according to designs provided by
our customers. The Company’s main customer is currently
Lockheed Martin, for whom Northstar provides production engineering,
sourcing and procurement of parts, assembly of parts into systems,
testing and shipping. The Company has manufactured submarine
control consoles under several contracts with Lockheed Martin Naval
Electronics in Manassas, Virginia.
The Company markets its
services in this area primarily through a network of contacts in the
industry, attendance at trade shows and at conferences and special
missions sponsored by the Department of Defense. In the past
Northstar has attended defense and aerospace exhibitions in the
United States and Canada and has participated in several missions to
meet prime contractors involved in the Joint Strike Fighter Program
in the United States.
The CM Market
NTI has focused attention on the North American military market. The
United States and Canada have many programs where NTI’s
services could be used. This includes programs to manufacture control
consoles for submarines, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. For
example, Canada announced the award in 2004 of a contract for the
US$2Billion Maritime Helicopter Project (MHP) that will require the
type of console displays NTI can manufacture.
NTI signed a US$2Million contract with Lockheed Martin, Manassas,
Virginia in 1999 to assemble, test and deliver control consoles for
the Canadian Navy’s Victoria Class submarines. Since NTI
successfully completed the project to the satisfaction of both
Lockheed Martin and the Navy, Lockheed Martin has awarded follow-on
contracts to NTI. In 2003, Lockheed Martin and NTI signed a
Manufacturing License Agreement approved by the US State Department.
The Agreement allows for NTI to manufacture command and control
consoles for Lockheed Martin on projects they have anywhere in the
world. As well, NTI is permitted to offer Lockheed Martin’s
console technology directly to the Canadian Armed Forces.
Competition – CM
For control consoles produced for Lockheed Martin, NTI’s
competition would be primarily similar sized companies as NTI in the
United States, Canada or abroad. We are not aware, at this time, of
any companies in particular that are direct competitors. However, we
expect that, dependent upon the economic and political factors
influencing Lockheed Martin, there will indeed be strong competition
for future contracts. NTI’s main competitive advantages are
price (our labor and overhead rates are low compared to many other
jurisdictions) and quality (we have proven performance) based on the
success to date of the submarine control console contract.
Marketing – CM
With respect to other Lockheed Martin divisions and with other prime
contractors, we expect to use our success on the submarine console
contract to showcase our expertise. The benefits of our marketing
efforts are contacts made through networking in the industry and
attendance at trade shows, conferences and special missions sponsored
by the department of defense. In 2004, we continued to attend defense
and aerospace exhibitions in Canada and the United States and we
participated in several missions to meet prime contractors involved
in the Joint Strike Fighter Program in the United States.
Technology Protection – CM
NTI currently owns no proprietary technology requiring protection with
respect to its CM activities.
Raw Material Sources and Availability – CM
Materials and parts are available on an as needed basis from a variety of
sources in the United States and Canada.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers – CM
NTI currently depends to a great extent on Lockheed Martin for its
contracts. Lockheed Martin is comprised of many semi-autonomous
divisions, which have many customers. We are dealing with four
divisions regarding contract opportunities which is similar to
dealing with four independent companies. We are attempting to reduce
our dependency on these Lockheed Martin divisions by contacting other
large prime contractors about CM opportunities with them. We expect
this activity will result in NTI developing new business in addition
to business with Lockheed Martin in the future.
Need for Government Approvals – CM
There are no government approvals applicable to our CM activities, except
any required as part of a contract. In that event, the requirement
would be passed down from the prime contractor as a part of the
statement of work
Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations – CM
Commerce between the United States and Canada in the defense and aerospace
industry is governed by some general rules and regulations. These
typically require a prime contractor, such as Lockheed Martin, to
obtain certain United States government clearances before providing
NTI with potentially sensitive information. Similarly, a Canadian
prime contractor would need Canadian government clearances to give
classified information to a United States subcontractor. To date,
these clearances have not caused any problems for our CM activities
and we do not anticipate any in the foreseeable future.
Research and Development Expenditures – CM
NTI has incurred no expenditures in fiscal 2004 on CM research and
development activities.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws – CM
The Company has incurred no costs or adverse effects in its compliance
with any environmental laws.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
NNL carries out multifaceted contracts that require several subcontractors to perform specialized
tasks. This ability to integrate the work of several components to
create one complete system is one of Northstar’s main areas of
business – system integration.
As a result of its capabilities and expertise, NNL has developed a unique approach to
securing and executing large defense contracts. NNL will bring
together a number of Small Medium Size Enterprises (SME) affiliate
companies thereby being able to present a capability to prime defense
contractors. A major potential project in this area is the $2Billion
Canadian Maritime Helicopter Project. Because NNL offers ‘one
stop shopping’ for 25 companies with a wide range of relevant
expertise, it is anticipated that some contract work for the Maritime
Helicopter Project will flow to NNL. Verbal commitments have been
made by the sub contractors working on the MHP, however, no firm
contracts have been signed.
NNL has signed a memorandum of interest (MOI) with three separate Lockheed Martin companies in the
United States and with four major subcontractors of Lockheed Martin,
for potential work on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program.
This program is a $200Billion + multinational program led by the United States Government to design
and produce the next generation fighter aircraft, in order to replace
existing fleets of F-16, F-18, A-10 and Harrier
aircraft worldwide. Sales are predicted to exceed 3,000 aircraft in
the US and UK alone, with an additional export market of 3,000
aircraft expected.
The JSF contract is the
largest defense contract ever awarded and it will continue for 35
years or longer. Northstar has developed relationships with Lockheed
Martin, Harris Corporation, TRW, BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman,
which the Company expects will lead to contract work on the JSF
program.
In 2003, NNL as prime contractor, with TYCO International, submitted a bid to provide the
dual mode fiber optic assemblies for the JSF. Prototype test
assemblies were provided to the customer and extensive testing was
carried out on them as well as on the assemblies of competing
companies. As a result of the testing, the NNL cables are one of
three cables selected for use in the program. The application is
expected to continue for the lifetime of the JSF program with the
first contract award now expected in 2005.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2004 the Company had a total of 25 full time employees.

Our second development program is called AQUACOMM for which we are
receiving considerable financial support from the federal government
of Canada. The Company’s plans call for the commercialization
of several new products over the next year. At present we are putting
in place the technological infrastructure including new specialized
equipment, laboratory facilities and engineering personnel. With this
infrastructure established, we are able to draw on the particular
capabilities needed for the development of each product.
One example of the type of system we intend to develop is for the
offshore petroleum industry. Floating production systems, in the
shape of ships, are held in place by a large subsea buoy that is
moored to anchoring points on the ocean floor. It is important prior
to the mating of the ship with the buoy to monitor the motions of the
buoy in six degrees of freedom. Through our AQUACOMM program, we can
develop a system that measures these motions (heading, pitch and
roll) along with depth, water temperature, salinity and water current
speed. All of the data would be then transmitted via our sonar
communication link to a receiver on a support ship.
An important part of our AQUACOMM program is enhancements to our NETMIND
trawl monitoring system for the commercial fishing industry. These
enhancements would give NETMIND an advantage over our competitors
and, therefore, we expect to see resulting increased sales and
profits. We expect to introduce several AQUACOMM sonar products to
the marketplace in 2005.
Netmind
Sales of NETMIND systems decreased in 2004 from 2003 primarily because of
uncertain quota allocations in key European markets and also as a
result of delays in introducing new technologies into these markets.
We expect to resume our NETMIND sales growth in 2005 by launching an
aggressive international campaign in the spring of 2005, to be funded
in part by a conditionally repayable loan.
Sales of NETMIND systems increased in 2003 over 2002 primarily because new
markets opened up in Europe. In particular, the new dealership in
Spain is exceeding sales expectations.
Contract Manufacturing
Northstar remained active pursuing contract manufacturing opportunities during
2004. We expect to play a strong regional role in fulfilling the
extensive industrial benefit requirements of the $2billion Maritime
Helicopter Project. We also expect to carry out more submarine
console contracts for Lockheed Martin Naval Electronics and
Surveillance Systems in Manassas, Virginia, having signed a
Manufacturing License Agreement with them in 2003. We are also
actively pursuing business development for contract work on the Joint
Strike Fighter (JSF) program for which Lockheed Martin in Dallas-Fort
Worth is the prime contractor. The areas we have focused on to date
have been fiber optics, training and courseware. In particular, we
have bid to provide the dual mode fiber optic assemblies for the JSF.
Northstar has also been performing R&D work with an RFID company
by assisting them with the development of a Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) Pen Reader. NNL expects to sign a manufacturing
license agreement to manufacture this product in March 2005
Systems Integration
During 2002 and 2003 we carried out the development of the sonar hardware
and mechanical housing for the intruder detection system, as
mentioned above. We conducted the project as a system integration in
that Northstar Network was the project manager and contracted other
companies to perform sub-tasks. Northstar then brought all the
sub-tasks together to make and test the final system. We foresee
carrying out future system integration projects on the contract work
we expect on the Maritime Helicopter Project, the JSF and other
defense related projects. During 2004 we continued systems
integration work on the intruder detection system to prepare for
production orders. The Company continues to pursue further contract
business and is now anticipating several contracts in 2005.
Gross margins remained stable at 73% compared with 74% for 2003, 59% in
2002 and 44% in 2001. The percentage increase over prior years was
created by lower component costs and higher gross margins associated
with NETMIND sales, a decrease in the lower margined contract sales
volume and the inclusion of Aquacomm and other grants totaling
$633,268 in revenue (2003 - $633,731 and for 2002 - $218,597). A
significant cause of any fluctuation in the gross margin percentages
would be due to changes in the revenue mix where the Company is now
generating revenue with significantly less direct costs attached.
As mentioned previously, in 2002, the Company was successful in funding
its $2.5Million AQUACOMM product development program. In 2004 the
Company spent $707,697 on design engineering and prototype
development related to the development of underwater sonar technology
($848,277 in 2003 and $609,299 in 2002). The Company received
contract revenues of $122,489 in 2004 (2003 - $325,000 and 2002
-$179,269) and government incentives of $547,338 (2003 - $626,496 and
2002 -$218,597) during the current year to offset certain of these
costs. The direct result of extensive spending on design engineering
and prototype development during the current year has been a loss of
$(831,541) for 2004 compared to losses of $(693,145) for 2003
$(792,135) in 2002 and $(441,924) in 2001.
The Company expects that design and manufacture of homeland security and
anti-terrorism systems will be a major component of its business over
the next five years. The Company is expecting to receive production
contracts from a major US defense contractor for the sonar hardware
portions of detection systems.
The Company used cash in operations of $(634,218) in 2004 compared to
cash used by operations of $(368,708) in 2003, $(589,419) during 2002
and cash used by operations of $(138,931) during 2001. In 2003, the
Company was successful in raising net equity financing of $1,096,040
and $706,793 in 2002 through a Regulation S common share issuance and
private placements but raised no equity funding during 2004.
The Company’s working capital and capital requirements will depend
on many factors, including the ability of the Company to increase
sales from marketing of the NETMIND system in order to generate
sufficient funds to cover the current level of operating expenses.
The Company further intends to create working capital from the
business to be generated pursuant to the Manufacturing License
Agreement with Lockheed Martin. During the most recent fiscal year
the Company increased its long-term debt by $168,764 (2003 -
$69,972). The Company is negotiating to secure an equity financing in
the short term and is in discussions with several financing firms.
The Company also expects to increase revenues in 2005 from sales of
its NETMIND system and related products. As well, the Company has
tendered proposals and price quotations on a submarine control
console manufacturing contract and an aircraft carrier anti terrorism
system manufacturing contract, both contracts of which are
anticipated to be awarded in 2005. The availability of sufficient
future funds will depend to an extent on product sales and the
obtaining of manufacturing contracts, estimated in the amount of
$2.3m, on a timely basis. Accordingly, the Company may be required to
issue securities to finance any working capital requirements. There
can be no assurance whether or not such future financings will be
available on satisfactory terms.
Certain statements in this report and elsewhere (such as in other filings by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
press releases, presentations by the Company of its management and
oral statements) may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Words such as "expects," "anticipates,"
"intends," "plans," "believes,"
"seeks," "estimates," and "should," and
variations of these words and similar expressions, are intended to
identify these forward-looking statements. Actual results may
materially differ from any forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause or contribute to such differences include, among others,
competitive pressures and constantly changing technology and market
acceptance of the Company's products and services. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements, which may be made to
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
OF NORTHSTAR ELECTRONICS, INC.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Northstar
Electronics, Inc. as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2004.
These 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in Canada and the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (PCAOB) (United States of America). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall 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 financial position of
Northstar Electronics, Inc., as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years ended December 31, 2004 in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working
capital deficiency and has sustained operating losses for the past
three years. These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

In January 2003 the FASB issued interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. Interpretation 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. Interpretation 46 applies to any business enterprise both private and public that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity. The Company has no investment in or contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity and therefore the adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
|
ii. |
On April 30, 2003 the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to Statement 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instruments with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. In addition, Statement 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative by providing guidance on the meaning of initial net investments related to derivatives. Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of Statement 149 did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
|
iii. |
On May 15, 2003 the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. Statement 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150 represents a significant change in practice in the accounting for a number of financial instruments, including mandatory redeemable equity instruments and certain equity derivatives that frequently are used in connection with share repurchase programs. Statement 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003 and to other instruments as of September 1, 2003. The adoption of Statement 150 on July 1, 2003 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
|
iv. |
In 2004, FASB issued a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. This revised pronouncement requires that all stock options and warrants be accounted for using the Fair Value Method. This pronouncement will impact on the Company, as the Company currently accounts for all options and warrants using the Intrinsic Value Method. |
|
v. |
FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, applies at different dates to different types of enterprises and entities, and special provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied Interpretation 46 prior to issuance of Interpretation 46(R). Application of Interpretation 46 or Interpretation 46(R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities (other than small business issuers) for all other types of entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Application by small business issuers to entities other than special-purpose entities and by non-public entities is required at various dates in 2004 and 2005. There is no impact on the Company’s financial statements. |

vi. |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.” The statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. |
|
i. |
Fair values The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of long term debt net of discount for interest free loans, the significant portion of long term debt being interest free or with fixed interest rates, and amounts due to related parties all approximate their fair values. |
|
ii. |
Interest rate risk The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities. |
|
iii. |
Credit risk The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable. The Company follows a program of credit evaluations of customers and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company maintains provisions for potential credit losses and any such losses to date have been within management’s expectations. |
|
iv. |
Foreign exchange risk The Company translates the results of foreign operations into US currency using rates approximating the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The exchange rate may vary from time to time. |

5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee
of the registrant's board of directors or persons performing the equivalent functions:
a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely
affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the registrant's
auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and
b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have
a role in the registrant's internal controls.
6. I have indicated in this annual report whether there were changes in
internal controls or in other factors that could affect internal
controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
