Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2009 and for the period from March 6, 1999 (inception) to March 31, 2009.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we incurred a net loss of $97,321, compared to a net loss of $153,414 during the same period in 2008. Our net loss from inception to March 31, 2009 was $1,700,899. Our net loss per share did not change during these periods, nor did we experience any net loss per share.

Our total operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 were $93,942, compared to total operating expenses of $105,992 for the same period in fiscal 2008. Our total operating expenses from our inception on March 6, 1999 to March 31, 2009 were $1,331,938.

Our total operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 consisted of $983 in depreciation, $4,198 in foreign exchange losses, $86,828 in general and administrative expenses and $1,933 in research and development expenses. We did not incur any other operating expenses during this period.

Our total operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 consisted of $1,355 in depreciation, $668 in foreign exchange gains and $105,305 in general and administrative expenses. We did not incur any research and development expenses or any other operating expenses during this period.

Our total operating expenses from our inception on March 6, 1999 to March 31, 2009 consisted of $12,428 in depreciation, $21,704 in foreign exchange losses, $1,234,951 in general and administrative expenses and $62,855 in research and development expenses.
The decrease in operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in our general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2009 we had cash of $29,826 in our bank accounts. As of March 31, 2009 we also had property and equipment in the amount of $13,939, for total assets of $43,765.

As of March 31, 2009 we had a working capital deficit of $49,793. Our accumulated deficit from our inception on March 6, 1999 to March 31, 2009 was $1,700,899 and was funded primarily through equity financing.

We are dependent on funds raised through our equity financing. Our net loss of $1,700,899 from our inception on March 6, 1999 to March 31, 2009 was funded primarily through equity financing and advances from related parties.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we spent net cash of $95,425 on operating activities, compared to net cash spending of $76,884 during the same period in fiscal 2008. The increase in expenditures on operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in our accounts payable and a decrease in our accretion of discounts on convertible debentures.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we did not receive any net cash from financing activities, compared to net cash received of $165,000 during the same period in fiscal 2008. The decrease in receipts from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the sale of our common stock.

We estimate our planned expenses for the next 12 months (beginning May 2009) to be approximately $385,000, including $165,000 for research and development costs and $220,000 for other operational costs. Our other operational costs include sales and marketing expenses, manufacturing and engineering expenses and general and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees, transfer agent fees, investor relations expenses and general office expenses. Our professional fees include legal, accounting and auditing fees, and are related to our regulatory filings throughout the year.

Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of approximately $355,000 (a total of $385,000 less our approximately $30,000 in cash as of March 31, 2009) to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.

Future Financings

We have not generated any revenues, have achieved losses since our inception, and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations. We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, and we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations. Our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


We will require approximately $385,000 over the next 12 months in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, including paying our ongoing expenses. These expenses include sales and marketing, research and development, manufacturing and engineering, and general and administrative expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months (approximately $355,000) from private placements, shareholder loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing, and there is no guarantee that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our operations and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. If we do not secure additional financing our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and for the next 12 months, even if we do decide to scale back our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible securities using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS and the weighted average number of common shares exclude all dilutive potential shares since their effect is anti-dilutive. As at March 31, 2009, we had 5,552,538 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.


Inflation

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
