With the Company edging towards profitability in 2024 and into 2025 along with this working capital infusion, the Company should be able to attract further equity capital as needed.
1.7 Capital Resources
The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. Capital is required for growth, and for completion of some in-house product development projects. Management may find it necessary to consider further equity financing.
1.8 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

1.10 Proposed Transactions
There are currently no proposed transactions by the Company.
1.11 Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption
January 1, 2010 was the date of transition to IFRS (Transition Date). Previously, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("Canadian GAAP")
1.12 Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, an asset-based loan, shareholder loans, merchant advance loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The asset-based loan from Pivot Financial in Toronto is secured by the Company's accounts receivable.
Because a high percentage of the Company's sales are made in United States, and also because the Company has three important suppliers based in Europe, there is an element of risk related to any large fluctuation in the relationship between the Euro, the Canadian dollar and the US dollar.
1.13 Share Data
The number of common shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this filing is 64,512,144.
1.14 Evaluation and Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under National Instrument 52-109 management is now required to certify that they have caused the company to design suitable controls over external disclosure and financial reporting. Management must also undertake reviews of the effectiveness of such controls and discuss areas of significant weakness and the associated risks as well as their plans to address them.
The company has not had sufficient financial resources to maintain dedicated internal financial reporting and qualified professional accounting personnel. Accordingly, financial reporting controls and internal transaction controls are designed and provided primarily by management with limited involvement from external consultants and professionals. This approach has been determined by management to be the most cost effective to date.
Management and the audit committee have discussed and identified areas that need to be improved as the company expands its scope of operations and strives to meet current market and regulatory expectations relating to the effectiveness of controls.
When control weaknesses are identified there is increased risk of release of inappropriate disclosures. There is also increased risk of misstatement in financial reporting through errors, omissions or fraudulent activity that could occur and go undetected. The Company intends to direct additional resources to improving identified deficiencies and improve the overall control environment and governance processes within the company where deemed required.
The Company recognizes that its existing control measures do not comply with a recognized internal control framework such as COSO. The Company believes such a framework is not viable at this time due to the limited number of personnel, volume of transactions, and lack of financial resources.
1.15 Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a competitive market. The Company needs to deliver high quality, cost effective, components to market and meet the timelines required by customers. The Company must develop next generation components to satisfy the future needs of their customers. Should the Company be unable to continue to manufacture and develop their products or should a competitor beat them to the market this would adversely affect future sales.
The Company has been able to acquire increased working capital, but it will still require additional capital to fully carry out its business plan going forward and financing its anticipated growth will continue to represent a significant risk factor as the required financing may not be available when it is needed.
The Company does not have significant environmental risk and in fact makes a very positive contribution to improving the environment.
