Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10Q and Rule 10-1 of the United States Securities Act of 1933 or Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and certain adjustments to reserves and allowances considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2003.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
As at December 31, 2002, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $282,893, has incurred a net loss of $287,765 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002, and has an accumulated deficit of $20,675,999.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent on achieving profitable operations, commercialising its Biochex technology and continuing development of new technologies, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time. Accordingly, the Company will require, for the foreseeable future, ongoing capital infusions in order to continue its operations, fund its research and development activities, and ensure orderly realization of its assets at their carrying value. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments in carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue in the normal course of operations.
The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from existing shareholders and by the issuance of shares of the Company for cash consideration.

Biochex.com is a project initiated by the Company's subsidiary, 1388755 Ontario Inc. The project involves the design and development of a prototype of a wireless and portable Internet appliance for medical data logging system.
During the period ended December 31, 2002, no further expenditure was incurred. The company's application for an investment and innovation tax credit on the expenses incurred during the fiscal 2001 was approved and a refund of $46,688 was assessed and received subsequent to the period end. At the period-end, the refund was set up as receivable and was reduced from the cost of the project as per the stated accounting policy.
At December 31, 2002, the management reviewed the status of the project. It concluded that the prototype was unlikely to be completed in the near future due to the fact that its completion date continued to be postponed for over a year. While the Chief technology officer maintained that his team was working on the prototype, no details were available of either the problems currently being encountered or the real state of the prototype. Management was unable to obtain any realisable value for the project at the period end and have therefore decided to write off the costs.

(i) Convertible loans are funds advanced to a related public corporation, bearing interest at 5% per annum and payable on demand. The advances are convertible, at the option of the Company into the common shares of the related entity at $0.10 USD per share.
On December 31, 2002, the entire balance of the convertible loan of $4,082 was acquired by a shareholder corporation and reduced from the balance payable to the said corporation.
(ii) Taxes receivables comprise investment tax credit and innovation tax credit allowed on the expenses incurred on the Biochex project for the fiscal year 2001.
(a) The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a shareholder corporation on October 1, 2001. The agreement required the corporation to provide financial services. The consulting fee was US $10,000 per month payable in advance. The agreement expires on March 31, 2003 and is subject to automatic renewal unless cancelled in writing by either party. However, the fee was revised down to $5,000US per month effective April 1, 2002.
(b) The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a corporation, which has common management and directors on April 1, 2000. The agreement required the corporation to provide investor relations services for a monthly fee of $10,000.The agreement expired on March 31, 2002 and was originally renewed for another year up to March 31, 2003. However, the agreement was terminated effective October 1, 2002 by a mutual consent of both the parties.
(c) The company cancelled its existing lease on February 15, 2002 and moved to another location as a sub-tenant effective April 1, 2002 without any long-term lease Commitment. Subsequent to the period end, the company received a Notice of Termination dated February 6, 2003 from the landlord, wherein the landlord claimed rent arrears of $28,924 and current plus next three months rent and damage for the loss of rent for the remaining term of the lease. The management is of the opinion that they have a strong case against the landlord for not paying such rent and penalty and considers the existing provision of approx. $37,000 adequate to cover any liability arising from the lease termination.

(Unaudited)
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada. The principles adopted in these interim financial statements conform in all respects to those generally accepted in the United States except as follows:
Under Canadian GAAP, product development costs incurred during each period are capitalized and the accumulated amount is reported on the balance sheet. Under United States GAAP, these costs are expensed in each period.
The following table summarizes the effect of this difference in accounting principle:

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated (unaudited) financial statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in Canada. A summary of material adjustments to conform to U.S. GAAP is set out in Note 8 to the consolidated (unaudited) financial statements.

There was no revenue during the nine-month period to December 31, 2002. Revenue for the corresponding period in the previous fiscal year represented, mainly, operating services fee of $60,000. The fee was charged at the rate of $10,000 per month to a shareholder corporation for management services. No such services were rendered during the fiscal 2003.
Income for the three months to December 31, 2002 was $nil. The income for the corresponding previous period was $nil. The management services agreement discussed above was canceled effective October 1, 2001. Hence during the three months ended December 31, 2001, no revenue was earned from these sources.
Overall expenses other than the investment losses declined by 73% to approx. $134,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $509,000 for the three months period in the previous year. Decline for the nine month period was about 61%.
The major components of expenses are as follows:
Three months to | |||||||

2002 | 2001 | 2002 | 2001 | ||||

% of operating expenses | 20% | 83% | 49% | 74% | |||
page 12
Absence of any major new activity during the current period accounted for significant decline in travel, meals and entertainment costs, compared to the previous period.
Consulting and promotion costs include the following major charges -
2001 period costs also included a charge of $351,128 from a non-related corporation for promotion under a contract signed on August 15, 2001. This contract was terminated in October 2001. No such promotion activities were carried out in 2002.
Overall travel, meals and entertainment expenses have declined due to absence of any major new initiatives.
Professional fees for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 were $29,037 compared to $72,776 for the same period in 2001. The fee for both the periods mainly consisted of fees paid to a director for providing financial, accounting and corporate services. This fee declined from $69,000 in 2001 to $16,000 in 2002 due to lesser time being spent on the company's activities.
Fee for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 was $2,300 compared to $34,000 for the same quarter in the previous fiscal year.
See investment section under Liquidity and Capital Requirements for details of this cost.
Other operating costs mainly consist of rent, telephones, transfer agents, shareholders information, amortization and office costs.
These costs for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $13,401 compared to $38,030 for the same period in 2001. The costs for the nine months to December 31, 2002 were $26,190 compared to $101,308 for the previous period.
The major reduction was in rent, which was reduced from $33,589 in 2001 to $4,400 owing to the company canceling its expensive lease in February 2002 and moving to a smaller location as a sub-tenant. Another cost item was amortization of fixed assets and development costs which was $24,890 in 2001 and $ nil in 2002 since all the assets were written off at the end of the fiscal 2002.

Overall decline in operating costs reflect the company's efforts at keeping these costs to the minimum and is in line with decline in the activities of the company.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 include a sum of $5,534 representing part of input tax credit for the fiscal years 1999 through 2001 being disallowed as a result of an audit conducted by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. Since the amount involved was relatively small, the management decided it would not be cost effective to contest the assessment.
Cash on hand at December 31, 2002 was $106 compared to $47,708 at March 31, 2002 and $1,433 at December 31, 2001.
There was a deficit of $282,893 in the net working capital at December 31, 2002 compared to a deficit of $116,200 at December 31, 2001.
Major cause for increase in working capital deficit was increase in borrowings from shareholders to meet operational needs. These borrowings increased from $150,000 at December 31, 2001 to $266,000 at December 31, 2002.
During the nine months to December 2002, the company spent about $225,113 on operational activities (2001: $101,857) and $ nil on investments (2001: $38,980). The cash requirement was met by borrowing about $130,590 (2001: $101,533) from shareholders and using the cash on hand at the beginning of the period of $47,700. Another source was investment tax credit of $47,000 assessed on the research and development costs incurred during the fiscal 2001. This is more fully explained later.
The Company made no new investments or incurred any additional costs on the existing projects during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 (2001: $37,000). Most of the investments made during the fiscal 2000 and 2001 were either liquidated or written off at March 31, 2002. Full details of the investments by category are given in the management discussion and analysis accompanying the audited financial statements at March 31, 2002, which are included in the annual report, F-20 filed on September 11, 2002.
This project is handled through the company's wholly owned subsidiary, 1388755 Ontario Inc.
The project involves the design and development of a prototype of a wireless and portable Internet appliance for medical data logging system.
The company spent a total of $138,291 as at March 31, 2002. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, no further expenditure was incurred. The company's application for an investment and innovation tax credit on the expenses incurred during the fiscal 2001 was approved and a refund of $46,828 was assessed and received subsequent to the period end. At the period-end, the refund was set up as receivable and was reduced from the cost of the project as per the stated accounting policy.
At December 31, 2002, the management reviewed the status of the project. It concluded that the prototype was unlikely to be completed in the near future due to the fact that its completion date continued to be postponed for over a year. While the Chief technology officer maintained that his team was working on the prototype, no details were available of either the problems currently being encountered or the real state of the prototype. Management was unable to obtain any realisable
page 14
value for the project at the period end and was unable to assess whether the project would ever generate any future revenue source. The net book value of $91,463 was therefore fully expensed.
Should the work on the project progress in future, the management will, at that time, evaluate if it is appropriate and profitable to complete the project. No further production costs are anticipated until the beta testing is successfully concluded.
The commercial launch of this product will depend on the company's ability to attract more funds or other partners with marketing and operational facilities.
No major capital expenditure was incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2002.
The management focus during the fiscal 2003 will be to seek acquisition and merger possibilities as well as other new potential financial partners.

We hold no material financial instruments.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as we currently earn revenues and incur expenses in United States dollars and Canadian dollars, exchange rates for these currencies in the future may have an adverse effect on our earnings or assets when United States dollars are exchanged for Canadian dollars. We have not entered into forward foreign exchange contracts in an attempt to mitigate this risk. To date, losses and gains resulting from foreign exchange transactions have been included in our results of operations.
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of a date within 90 days before the filing date of this quarterly report. They concluded that as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
page 15
ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls so no corrective actions were taken.

Subsequent to the period end, the company received a Notice of Termination dated February 6, 2003 from the landlord, wherein the landlord claimed rent arrears of $28,924 and current plus next three months rent and damage for the loss of rent for the remaining term of the lease. The management is of the opinion that they have a strong case against the landlord for not paying such rent and penalty and considers the existing provision of approx. $37,000 adequate to cover any liability arising from the lease termination.
