ALR TECHNOLOGIES INC.
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
($ United States)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
ALR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 24, 1987 as Mo Betta Corp. On December 28, 1998, the Company changed its name from Mo Betta Corp. to ALR Technologies Inc. The Company has developed a line of medication compliance reminder devices and compliance monitoring systems that will assist people with taking their medications and treatments on time and allow for health care professionals to remotely monitor and intervene as necessary if a person is non-compliant.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
Several adverse conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has incurred significant losses over the past several previous fiscal years (three-month period ended March 31, 2010: $717,142; 2009: $540,042; 2008: $526,207), is currently unable to self-finance its operations, has a working capital deficit of $7,584,748 as at March 31, 2010, $7,324,143 as at December 31, 2009 (2008: $12,324,804), a deficit of $30,987,410 as at March 31, 2010, $30,180,268 as at December 31, 2009 (2008: $27,979,967), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow, no assurance that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further product development and operations, debts comprised of accounts payable, payroll payable, interest and promissory notes payable totaling $5,367,157 currently due or considered delinquent, no assurance that the Company will not face additional legal action from creditors regarding delinquent accounts payable, payroll payable, promissory notes and interest payable, and there is no assurance the Company’s current projects will be commercially viable or profitable. Any one or a combination of these above conditions could result in the failure of the business and require the Company to cease operations.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations, fund working capital, and overhead requirements, fund the development of the Company’s product line and the Company’s ability to achieve profitable operations. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of shares on the exercise of options, through future common share private placements and/or through obtaining a line of credit. While the Company is currently negotiating a line of credit and has received an advance of $91,824, the terms have yet to be finalized and the outcome cannot be predicted at this time. Obtaining short-term financing is critical to the Company’s completion of product development activities and, ultimately, the distribution of their product line and the execution of their business plan. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependent upon the realization of management's plans. There can be no assurance provided the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital from the sources described above, on satisfactory terms. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining short-term financing or in achieving long-term profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations.
All of the Company's debt is either due on demand or is overdue and now due on demand, while continuing to accrue interest at its stated rate. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of the outstanding promissory notes payable and related interest thereto, until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. In the past, creditors have successfully commenced legal action against the Company to recover debts outstanding. In those instances, the Company was able to obtain financing from related parties to cover the verdict or settlement; however, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain the same financing in the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing to cover any potential verdicts or settlements, the Company will be required to cease operations.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements then adjustments may be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

2. Significant accounting policies
The information included in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented, have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
a) Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its integrated wholly-owned subsidiary, ALRTech Health Systems Inc. (incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, April 15, 2008). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
b) Stock-based compensation
The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
c) Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards that are available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. When it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.
The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

2. Significant accounting policies: (continued)
d) Basic and diluted loss per common share
Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted loss per common shares when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
e) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring management estimates include the recoverable amount of the Company's inventories; the fair value of common shares issued as settlement of promissory notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities; the fair value of promissory notes payable and interest payable; and assumptions used in the determination of the financing costs of stock options issued in consideration of promissory notes payable, the extension of their due dates and the modification of previous stock option. Management believes the estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
f) Recent accounting pronouncement adopted
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”). This update provides amendments to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”, for the fair value measurement of liabilities when a quoted price in an active market is not available. ASU 2009-05 is effective for reporting periods beginning after August 28, 2009. The Company has adopted this pronouncement, which has had no material effect on its consolidated financial statements, except as to increased disclosure in note 11.

5. Interest, advances and promissory notes payable
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company received a total of $91,824 from a relative of a director on advance of an operating line of credit under negotiations. The amount borrowed bears interest at 1% per month, is due on demand and is secured by a floating charge against the assets of the Company, which is substantially the same terms as the other promissory notes issued to this creditor.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company received proceeds of $154,879 from a director and a relative of a director in exchange for the issuance of promissory notes payable. The promissory notes issued are due on demand with interest at 1.0% per month and are collateralized by a floating charge against assets of the Company. As further consideration, 620,000 options exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of five years were granted to the lenders and the fair value of these stock options was recorded as interest expense totaling $54,044. These options were fully vested once granted. As of December 31, 2009, these 620,000 stock options were cancelled as part of the agreement for subscribing for shares at the price of $0.05 per share completed in December 2009. There was no accounting impact on the cancellation of these options.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2010 the Company accrued advances payable totalling $64,853 as follows:
·
|
$51,892 from a director
|
·
|
$12,961 from an officer.
|
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company accrued advances payable totaling $563,830 as follows:
·
|
$166,345 from a director
|
·
|
$337,485 from a Company controlled by a director and a relative of a director
|
·
|
$60,000 from an officer.
|
On September 4, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Credit to Judgment from the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, whereby the Company was ordered to pay two creditors holding promissory notes payable (the “plaintiffs”) an aggregate payment of $1,988,000 for principal, interest and legal fees incurred. Subsequent to the verdict, the Company, two directors, a relative of a director (the “Purchaser”) and the plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby a relative of a director acquired $1,313,000 of debts from the plaintiffs in a private transaction. The remaining $675,000 due to the plaintiffs was converted into common shares of the Company as part of a separate debt for shares settlement (note 6(d)). As part of the Settlement Agreement, a second director, not related to the Purchaser, assigned unsecured advances payable of the Company with no stated terms of interest, totaling $425,000, to the plaintiffs. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to the following repayment terms:
·
|
$300,000 repayable at a rate of $25,000 per month (note 7); and
|
·
|
$125,000 repayable in whole by January 15, 2011.

The agreements were completed on September 30, 2009 and the common shares were issued in December 2009. In total, the Company issued 135,249,463 common shares at $0.05 per share for a total amount of $6,762,473. As part of the terms of the subscription agreement, subscribers agreed to cancel 41,948,000 stock options previously granted to them by the Company at the exercise price of $0.25 per share. The stock options cancelled had previously vested and there was no accounting impact on the cancellation. The following table describes the details of payments of the entire subscription:

7. Contingencies
The Company is currently being sued by a creditor for $300,000 of promissory notes payable plus the associated costs and legal fees of the lawsuit. The Company was supposed to make principal payments of $25,000 per month commencing in October 2009. To date, the Company has not repaid any of the loans and the loan is considered to be in default. The full amount of debt has previously been recorded. No further amounts related to any associated costs or legal fees have been recorded at March 31, 2010 as the additional amounts are not determinable at this time.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2010 include $180,666 (2009: $180,666) of amounts owing to a supplier, which the Company is in the process of disputing. The outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time. Any adjustment will be recorded in the period that an agreement with the supplier is reached and the amount becomes determinable.
On July 21, 2009, two notes payable creditors commenced legal action against the Company to enforce repayment of all outstanding notes payable and interest. On September 4, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Credit to Judgment from the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina, whereby the Company was ordered to pay the two notes payable creditors an aggregate payment of $675,000, being partial payment of total interest outstanding as of June 30, 2009 plus $40,000 legal fees. On the same date, this partial judgment was assigned to a relative of a director. All liabilities and fees incurred have been recorded as discussed in note 5.
In previous years, a note payable creditor commenced legal action against the Company to enforce repayment of all outstanding notes payable and interest. As of March 31, 2010, the total outstanding notes payable and interest payable was $44,700. The Company has agreed to settle this balance in an amount equal to the legal liability owning at the time the amount is repaid and is waiting for final approval by Superior Court Judge. The payment on settlement will be recorded when paid.

9. Commitments:
During 2000, the Company entered into three-year contracts with certain executive officers and directors providing the following annual compensation.
The contracts are automatically renewed annually after the initial three-year term, and may be terminated by the Company at any time, effective thirty days after delivery of notice, without any further compensation.
The terms of Mr. Chan's contract also provides for a commission of 1% of net sales during the term of the agreement as well as a bonus payment on commencement of commercial production of the Pet Reminder. In addition, if more than 50% of the Company's stock or assets are sold, Messrs. Chan, Cruitt and Tichy will be compensated for entering into non-compete agreements based on the selling price of the Company or its assets as follows:
2% of sales price up to $24,999,999 plus
3% of sales price between $25,000,000 and $49,999,999 plus
4% of sales price between $50,000,000 and $199,999,999 plus
5% of sales price in excess of $200,000,000.
The terms of Mr. Cruitt's contract was amended in 2008 as a result of his resignation as President on June 16, 2008. Mr. Cruitt was originally entitled to 4,000,000 options with a five-year term exercisable at $0.25 per share of which 2,000,000 stock options vested immediately and the remaining 2,000,000 options subject to sales and performance targets were cancelled in 2008.
The amount distributed to each key employee is also to be determined by the Board of Directors.

Fair value
The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, and certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments.
Certain accounts payable have been outstanding longer than one year. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the period the payables have been outstanding for longer than one year, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital. The calculated amount represents the implicit compensation for the use of funds beyond a reasonable term for regular trade payables.
For the purposes of fair value analysis, promissory notes payable can be separated into three classes of financial liabilities.
i. Interest-bearing promissory notes and related interest payable
ii. Non-interest-bearing promissory note past due
iii. Non-interest-bearing promissory notes due in the future.
The interest-bearing promissory notes payable are all delinquent and have continued to accrue interest at their stated rates. The Company currently does not have the funds to extinguish these debts and will continue to incur interest until such time as the liabilities are extinguished. There is not an active market for delinquent loans for a Company with a similar financial position. Management asserts the carrying values of the promissory notes and related interest payable are a reasonable estimate of fair value as they represent the Company’s best estimate of their legal obligation on these debts. As there is no observable market for interest rates on similar promissory notes, the fair value was estimated using level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The non-interest-bearing promissory note payable past due is several years delinquent and there have been no renegotiated repayment terms. There is not an active market for default loans not bearing interest nor is there an observable market for lending to companies with a financial position similar to the Company. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the promissory notes, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds. Management asserts the payment date for these amounts cannot be reasonably determined. Management further asserts there is not a determinable interest rate for arm’s-length borrowings based on the current financial position of the Company and asserts the carrying value is the best estimate of the Company’s legal liability and represents the fair value for the promissory note. This would be considered a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy.
The non-interest-bearing promissory notes payable due in the future are the result of the Settlement Agreement whereby certain advances payable were assigned to the plaintiffs. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to repayment terms for these non-interest-bearing amounts. Since these amounts now have fixed repayment terms, the Company considers amounts as promissory notes as opposed to advances. Since the settlement, the Company has not made the required payments on one promissory note where repayments were required prior to year-end (note 8). Based on the Company’s current financial position and the maturities of these promissory notes, it is likely the Company will default on the other promissory notes payable in this class. These loans were originally based on the advances received by the Company. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the promissory note, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds. Management’s assertion is the carrying value is the best estimate of the Company’s liability and represents the fair value for the promissory note. This would be considered a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of advances payable cannot be determined as there are no stated terms of repayment. The Company has recorded imputed interest at a rate of 1% per month over the life of the advances payable, with a corresponding amount recognized in additional paid-in capital representing the implicit compensation for the use of funds.

11. Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. As the Company only has minimal cash and has recognized an allowance to reduce accounts receivable to $0, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of two components:
a) To the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, the Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk.
The Company is exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on promissory notes payable of $500,000, which incur a variable interest rate of prime plus 1%. A hypothetical change of 1% on interest rates would increase or decrease net loss and comprehensive loss by $5,000.
b) To the extent that changes in prevailing market interest rates differ from the interest rate on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, the Company is exposed to interest rate price risk.
The Company’s promissory notes payable consist of $500,000 of variable interest rate notes and $4,867,157 of fixed interest rate notes. All of these notes are past due and are currently due on demand while interest continues to accrue. Due to the delinquency of the fixed interest rate promissory notes payable, fluctuations in market interest rates do not have a significant impact on their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2010, the effect on the net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 1% in market interest rate cannot be reasonably determined.
ii. Foreign currency risk
The Company incurs certain accounts payable, advances payable and expenses in Canadian dollars and is exposed to fluctuations in changes in exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. As at March 31, 2010, the effect on net loss and comprehensive loss of a hypothetical change of 10% between the US and Canadian dollar would not be material. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
The following information must be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Except for the description of historical facts contained herein, the Form 10Q contains certain forward-looking statements concerning future applications of the Company's technologies and the Company's proposed services and future prospects, that involve risk and uncertainties, including the possibility that the Company will: (i) be unable to commercialize services based on its technology, (ii) ever achieve profitable operations, or (iii) not receive additional financing as required to support future operations, as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the accounting polices that are most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and involve management's judgment and/or evaluation of inherent uncertain factors are as follows:
Basis of Presentation.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize on its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements. As described in note 1 to the interim financial statements, at March 31, 2010, there are certain conditions which raise substantial doubt about the validity of this assumption. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital and its ability to achieve profitable operations. The Company will seek to obtain creditors consent to delay repayment of its outstanding promissory notes payable until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated from operations, replacement debt or from equity financing through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of additional debt, the issuance of shares on the exercise of options and warrants and through future common share private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future years to achieve profitable operations. Failure to achieve management's plans may result in the Company curtailing operations or writing assets and liabilities down to liquidation values, or both.
Prepaid expenses and deposits.
Prepaid expenses and deposits primarily consist of prepaid commission expenses for market development purposes.

Inventories.
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value.
Revenue recognition.
The Company recognizes sales revenue at the time of delivery when title has transferred to the customer, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and the sales proceeds are collectible. Provisions are recorded for product returns based on historical experience. Sales revenue, in transactions for which the Company does not have sufficient historical experience, is recognized when the return privilege period has expired.
Stock-Based Compensation.
The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets
The Company assesses the potential impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Changes in the operating strategy can significantly reduce the estimated useful life of such assets.
Results of Operations
Management is focusing the majority of its efforts on introducing and marketing the ALRT Health-e-Connect System to the healthcare industry. Initially, marketing efforts will target diabetes. The Company has sponsored pilot programs and clinical trials. The outcomes are now becoming available. The results will be used to support the marketing and sales efforts.
Sales revenue
For the three months period ended March 31, 2010 were $Nil as compared to $Nil for the same period last year. There were no sales as the Company's new product is in the final stage of development and early stage of marketing campaign and as a result of the decision to de-emphasize sales and marketing activities of focus the Company’s resources on development of the CHC and development of business network of pilot programs.
Development costs were $46,500 for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 as compared with $68,750 for the same period last year. Development costs incurred during the three months of 2009 related to the allocation of additional programming resources required for the development of the ALRT500 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Med Reminders and the ALRT Interactive Response System (AIRS).
Interest expense was $584,646 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared with $318,925 for the same period last year.

Professional fees were $19,020 for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 as compared with $11,777 for the same period last year.
The selling, general and administrative expenses were $64,305 for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $141,088 for the same period last year.
Net loss of $717,142 for the three months period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a loss of $540,042 for the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Balances and Working Capital
As of March 31, 2010, the Company's cash balance was $505 compared to $658 as of December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $7,584,748 as compared to a working capital deficiency of $7,324,143 as of December 31, 2009.
Short and Long Term Liquidity
As of March 31, 2010, the Company does not have the current financial resources and committed financing to enable it to meet its overheads, purchase commitments and debt obligations over the next 12 months.
All of the Company's debt financing is due on demand or will be due in the next twelve months. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of these loans until it is able to replace these financings with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. The Company has faced litigation from creditors in the past and currently being sued by one creditor. There is no assurance that additional creditors will make claims against the Company in the future. Failure to obtain either replacement financing or creditor consent to delay the repayment of existing financing could result in the Company having to curtail operations.
The remaining contractual maturities of the financial liabilities of the Company on March 31, 2010 are as follows:

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its creditors and its ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital and its ability to achieve profitable operations. All of the Company's debt financing is either due on demand or is overdue and now due on demand. The Company will seek to obtain creditors' consents to delay repayment of these outstanding promissory notes payable until it is able to replace this financing with funds generated by operations, replacement debt or from equity financings through private placements or the exercise of options and warrants. While the Company's creditors have agreed to extend repayment deadlines in the past, there is no assurance that they will continue to do so in the future. Management plans to obtain financing through the issuance of shares on the exercise of options and warrants and through future common share private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future periods to achieve profitable operations. The resolution of the going concern issue is dependent upon the realization of management's plans. There can be no assurance provided that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, from the sources described above, on satisfactory terms. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining financing or in achieving profitable operations, the Company will be required to cease operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. The Company is currently financed by loans from a relative of a director of the Company.
