PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

GENERAL

CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. (referred to herein as “we”, “CTI”, “the Company” or “our Company”) changed its business focus in early fiscal 2003. In January 2003, we converted a significant portion of our outstanding debt to equity, secured new financing and adopted a new business plan. Our new mandate is to realize enhanced capital appreciation for our stockholders, by providing our expertise to emerging companies offering timely product solutions and/or strategic investment opportunities in the petroleum production and service industries.

We are in the start-up phase of our operations, and we have not yet realized any revenues from our proposed products or services.

History

CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. (formerly Unique Bagel Co., Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 11, 1998. On January 10, 2001 we changed our name to CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. ("CTI") and pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement effective February 16, 2001, we acquired 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Cobratech Industries, Inc. ("Cobratech"), a private company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Cobratech conducted its operations primarily through Cobratech Industries Limited, (“CIL”) a 100% controlled subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong. CIL also had 100% control over Cobratech Industries Japan Limited (“CIJL”), a company incorporated in Japan to conduct Cobratech’s operations in Japan.

By August 2001, we had reached the decision to cease all of our Asian operations. It was apparent that our plan to introduce our planned products and services into Asia was no longer the opportunity it was earlier thought to be. We closed our offices in both Hong Kong and Tokyo, terminated all of our employees and vacated our premises. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we wrote down our investment in Cobratech to $nil from $1,198,911 and recorded a provision for the costs of winding up the operations of $200,000. No formal steps to complete the windup of our subsidiaries conducting the Asian business have yet been undertaken.

In May 2001, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Sentry Telecom Systems, Inc. (“Sentry”), to purchase a 34% equity interest. The Sentry purchase expired on August 15, 2001. Prior to the expiration, we paid $250,000 as a non-refundable, convertible deposit to Sentry and, between May 15 and August 15, 2001 advanced by way of promissory notes approximately $224,000 to Sentry. The non-refundable deposit was converted into

3


1,000,000 units of Sentry at $0.25 per unit, each unit comprised of one common share and one warrant to purchase an additional common share for $0.25 each. The warrants all expired on January 31, 2002.

As the next step, we entered into an agreement in January 2002 to acquire 7,160,000 common shares (80%) of Sentry, directly from the founding shareholders of Sentry, in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock of CTI. This agreement closed on April 15, 2002. The purchase agreement provided for the immediate issuance of 150,000 shares and the release of the balance of 350,000 shares over a period of one year, subject to the completion of certain milestones. Including the 1,000,000 shares of Sentry that were received pursuant to the conversion of a deposit in 2001 , we then owned 90.7% of the outstanding common stock of Sentry.

Sentry is a private British Columbia company that was developing a unique and patented new telecommunications security product. We saw this new technology as having significant market potential and the ability to become the core security product to attract existing, established distributors, since this product would not be in direct competition with their present security solutions. Sentry had the proprietary new product that we were seeking and needed ongoing funding in order to complete its development. Additionally, Sentry had very experienced management that we believed would be an significant asset to us in developing our business plan.We believed this initial proprietary product would provide a foundation for a family of significantly more advanced and diversified securities systems products.

Prior to the beginning of 2002, Sentry had ceased operations, due to a lack of funds. We received $277,654 in the first four months of 2002 in financing from an outside party, which allowed us to commence re-starting Sentry's operations in late March. We advanced $24,800 to Sentry during the period January 1, 2002 to March 31, 2002, and advanced a further $110,000 in April 2002. These funds were augmented by approximately $275,000 that Sentry received from Canadian income tax authorities as a refund of the previous year's scientific research and development expenditures.

The aggregate of these funds allowed us to re-commence Sentry's operations in April, 2002. In late March 2002, Donald Farnell, resigned his positions at Sentry and was re-appointed a director, President & CEO of our company and Marlene Gaudry was re-appointed our Chief Financial Officer. Concurrently, Mark Godsy, who had become a significant shareholder of our company, was appointed a Director and agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board. These management changes were augmented in early April by the nomination of Douglas A. Mazur as a director and President and CEO of Sentry and the additional appointment of Mark Godsy as a director and Chairman of Sentry.

By June, 2002, we had not been successful in our attempts to raise additional funding. Accordingly, we were unable to advance promised additional funding to Sentry that would allow Sentry to hire additional development and marketing personnel. As a direct consequence of this funding shortfall, in June 2002 Mr. Mazur resigned as a director and President & CEO of Sentry, Ms. Gaudry resigned as Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Godsy resigned as a director and Chairman of both the Company and Sentry. Mr. Farnell re-assumed the positions of President & CEO of Sentry and Chairman of our Company on an interim basis.

In August 2002, the working capital of both Sentry and our Company had been totally depleted. As a consequence, the operations of Sentry ceased in August and the offices of the Company were temporarily relocated to premises owned by a director of the Company. Neil Cox resigned from his positions in Sentry at this time. Fixed assets comprising the furniture and some office equipment of the Company were abandoned by the Company as it was determined that the proceeds of sale would be less than the cost of removal, or moving to an auction site and costs of sale. The write off of asset carrying values required to give effect to this specific change are reflected in the interim financial statements of our Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

OUR REVISED BUSINESS PLAN

When it became apparent that capital markets were no longer receptive to emerging high technology companies such as Sentry, which forced us to cease Sentry’s operations, we began to revise our business plan to better position our company to take advantage of positive trends in the oil and gas industry. During 2002 and 2003 to date, we were successful in converting $1,309,214 of outstanding debt to equity, and raised approximately $1.4 million in new working capital through an unsecured loan (See Item 12 “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions”).

As noted previously, our new mandate is to realize enhanced capital appreciation for our stockholders, by providing our expertise to emerging companies offering timely product solutions and/or strategic investment opportunities in

4


the petroleum production and service industries. Although there can be no assurance of future success, we intend to carry out our new mandate by:

  1.
Investing primarily in companies or products where early stage product development has been completed. Early stage product development generally means any basic research surrounding a potential product or service and the development of working prototypes. This will enable us to minimize risks associated with early stage start ups, reduce both the time frame and amount of capital required for commercialization of proposed products, and thus maximize any potential return to our stockholders.
     
  2.
Generally acquire a controlling or majority equity position to fully participate in the target company’s strategic business plan and corporate governance.
     
  3.
Contribute our business expertise to assist in the further development of the target company’s business and operations. We believe that a combination of our skills in conjunction with the target’s skills will maximize the probability of potential success.

We currently have no revenue from operations, we are in a start-up phase with our existing assets and we have no significant assets, tangible or intangible. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues in the future, or that we will be able to operate profitably in the future, if at all. We have incurred significant net losses in each fiscal year since inception of our operations.

In order to continue with our revised business plan, we will require additional equity or debt funding within approximately 6 months if we do not complete any acquisitions, and we may require funding sooner if we identify and complete an acquisition or investment. There can be no assurance we will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favourable terms, if at all. We have limited funds to maintain our own ongoing expenses, and we currently have significant current liabilities that will need to be paid in the ordinary course of business. Without an infusion of new capital, the Company will not be able to maintain current operations beyond these periods.

We are also continuing to experience negative cash flows from operations. We will likely be required to place additional securities in new financings to make up for such negative cash flow. Such transactions may have a negative or depressing effect on the trading prices for our publicly-traded common stock.

Rapid growth often places considerable operational, managerial and financial strain on a company. To ensure the success of our new business plan, we must do the following on a proactive basis:

  1. Improve, upgrade and expand our business infrastructure
     
  2. Hire, train and retain key management for our company and ensure any target company does the same
     
  3.
Advance the commercialization development programs for target companies so they become cash flow positive as soon as is practically possible
     
  4. Maintain adequate financial resources

Our Company's future opportunities for success greatly depends on the continued employment of and performance by senior management, including the successful hiring of a permanent Chief Executive Officer experienced in the oil and gas industry, and key personnel at any potential target companies. We would be materially adversely affected if one or more of the senior management team do not continue to perform in their present positions, if we are unable to hire an experienced President and CEO, or if we or potential targets are unable to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified management, professional, technical and regulatory personnel.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES AND PROPOSED ACQUISITION

On February 28, 2003, Mr. Donald E. Farnell resigned as our acting Chief Financial Officer. On March 5, 2003, Mr. Alfred Comeau and Mr. Terry Mereniuk were appointed to our Board of Directors. On March 31, 2003, Mr. Farnell resigned his positions as Director, Chairman, President and CEO. On April 9, 2003, Mr. John Anderson, a Director of our Company, was appointed interim President and CEO, replacing Mr. Farnell. Mr. Terry Mereniuk was appointed Chief Financial Officer. On April 24, 2003, Mr. Anderson was appointed Secretary/Treasurer.

On March 27, 2003 we announced our intention to proceed with our first acquisition. We entered into a Memorandum of Agreement dated March 27, 2003 with Flowray Inc. ("Flowray") and Flowstar Technologies Inc. ("Flowstar") under which we have advanced $1,290,000 Canadian dollars (approximately $877,000) by way of a loan to Flowray and Flowstar for operating purposes. Flowray and Flowstar, as borrowers, have provided our Company with a promissory note for each advance. The borrowers have agreed to pay us interest on the promissory notes at the rate of 5% per annum, calculated monthly on the last day of each month, not in advance, from the date of each promissory note on the outstanding balance. The promissory notes are due as follows: 25% of the outstanding balance of the promissory notes on March 30, 2004, a further 25% on September 30, 2004, a further 25% on March 30, 2005, and the balance together with all accrued interest on September 30, 2005.

As security for the repayment of the promissory notes, Flowray and Flowstar have granted us a security interest in all of their present and after-acquired personal property. The President, director and a shareholder of each of Flowray and Flowstar, has agreed to postpone his rights as holder of security interests and security agreements on the personal property of the borrowers to all rights and security interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the postponement, he is entitled to repayment of shareholders loans up to $65,032.70 Canadian dollars (approximately $44,000) advanced previously to the borrowers, and reimbursement from the borrowers of expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Source of proceeds to Company for loans made to Flowray and Flowstar.

We obtained the funds that were advanced to Flowray and Flowstar through a loan from AHC Holdings Inc., a private Alberta company wholly owned by Comeau Industries Ltd., of which Mr. Alfred Comeau is the majority shareholder. Under the terms of a loan agreement, AHC agreed to make available up to $2,000,000 Canadian dollars or approximately $1,370,000. As at April 14, 2003, we had borrowed $1,437,661.83 Canadian dollars, or approximately $985,000. All advances under the loan are secured by promissory notes. We have agreed to pay interest to AHC at the rate of 15% per annum. The principal and all accrued and unpaid interest are due on December 31, 2005. As a bonus for the loan, we issued AHC a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share until March 6, 2006. We also issued a warrant to Terry Mereniuk, of Edmonton, Alberta, for his services to the Company in facilitating the loan from AHC. The warrant entitles Terry Mereniuk to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share until March 6, 2006.

On March 5, 2003, we appointed both Alfred Comeau and Terry Mereniuk to our Board of Directors. On April 9, 2003 Mr. Mereniuk was appointed Chief Financial Officer of our Company.

Business of Flowstar and Flowray.

Flowray and Flowstar are private companies incorporated in Alberta, Canada. Since inception, Flowray has been developing a new system for measuring the flow of gas in upstream petroleum production applications. This system is known as the Digital Chart Recorder or “DCR-900”. The DCR-900 system consists of a turbine based flow measurement signal generating device, temperature and pressure probes and a flow computer, which performs all of the flow calculations. This system has recently received approval from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and has received independent verification of accuracy from Southwest Research Institute in Houston Texas.

The companies are currently in the process of field-testing the product. DCR-900 units are now being installed in customer applications for testing. There have been no commercial sales of the product as of the date hereof. The companies anticipate that they will be in a position to generate commercial sales in the next several months.

Flowstar has secured the right to manufacture, market and distribute the products that have been developed by Flowray, in exchange for a 10% royalty on sales. Flowstar also represents and distributes independent third party products, and is positioning itself to be a leading supplier of flow measurement equipment to the petroleum industry. Flowray and Flowstar currently have no significant tangible assets. The intellectual property assets of Flowray include a US provisional patent application filed on or about March 3, 2003 for the technology used in the DCR-900 system. Flowray also has an exclusive worldwide marketing agreement with Hoffer Flow Controls Inc. for a gas turbine under a private label arrangement with Flowstar. Flowray also holds the intellectual property for liquid based totalizers, burner igniters, and windows based gas flow calculation software, all of which Flowstar markets. Flowstar also markets a line of liquid turbines for which there is no intellectual property, as the patents expired long ago.

6


Flowray has given Cal-Scan Services Ltd. ("Cal-Scan"), a private Canadian company, a right of first refusal to engineer, supply or manufacture the DCR-900 product according to Flowray's specifications. One of the shareholders of Flowray and Flowstar is also a principal of Cal-Scan. Cal-Scan is also the owner of a trade secret, which is incorporated in the design of Flowray's DCR-900 system. For each DCR-900 unit purchased from Cal-Scan, Flowray has agreed to pay Cal-Scan a $200 Canadian dollar (approximately $130) fee for use of the trade secret. Details of Cal-Scan's trade secret will be provided to a mutually agreeable trust agent, to be held in escrow and not disclosed to Flowray, except if any of the following events occur:

  a) Cal-Scan is declared bankrupt;
     
  b)
Cal-Scan refuses to perform any manufacturing or engineering of the DCR-900 product and refuses to allow a third party or Flowray to manufacture the produce or refuses to supervise a third party or Flowray to continue the engineering of the product.

Flowray has also granted Cal-Scan an irrevocable, exclusive license to use Flowray's technology related to differential pressure orifice plate system flow measurement, in oil field production well testing. Cal-Scan's license will permit it to manufacture, market, and sell flow measurement products, or sub-license or assign these rights, in markets other than turbine based flow measurement. The term of Cal-Scan's license will continue for the life of Flowray’s patent. If Flowray fails to purchase at least 100 units within the first two years from January 1, 2003, 200 units in year three and 300 per year thereafter, then Cal-Scan's license to use Flowray's technology will be extended to its entire subject matter without any restriction on the market. If Flowray is declared bankrupt, Flowray has agreed to assign to Cal-Scan all its rights to the flow measurement technology, including patents and patent applications. Flowray also granted Cal-Scan a distributorship for the DCR-900 product. Any cost savings resulting from revisions to the product will be split equally between Flowray and Cal-Scan.

Details of intended acquisition by Company of up to 51% of Flowray and Flowstar.

Under a letter of intent dated February 6, 2003, we have agreed to acquire up to 51% of the issued and outstanding share capital of both Flowray and Flowstar. It is intended this will be accomplished by way of transfer of previously issued shares from the current shareholders of the companies and by the purchase of shares from treasury of Flowray. The consideration we are to pay pursuant to the acquisition includes:

  1.
the issuance to the shareholders of Flowstar of an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.13 per share in exchange for the transfer of 51% of the issued shares of Flowstar;
     
  2.
the payment of an aggregate of $750,000 Canadian dollars or approximately $512,000, to Flowray in consideration of the issuance of treasury shares to the Company;
     
  3.
the payment of an aggregate of $1,000,000 Canadian dollars or approximately $683,000 to the shareholders of Flowray in consideration of the transfer of certain of their shares of Flowray; and
     
  4.
the issuance to the shareholders of Flowray and Flowstar of such number of additional shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to $500,000 Canadian dollars or $341,000, calculated at the average market price for two months prior to the date of issuance and discounted by 20%.

Two shareholders each hold 50% of the current issued share capital of Flowray and Flowstar. The acquisition of 51% of Flowray and Flowstar may complete in stages. The first closing of the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent will not occur until the parties have signed a formal share purchase and subscription agreement and all closing conditions have been fulfilled or waived by the parties. We may make the cash payments in instalments required to be paid on or before certain deadlines over the period ending January 15, 2004. Should we proceed, we will issue the first allotment of 750,000 shares on the first closing date. The second allotment of shares worth $341,000 is due on or before January 15, 2004.

All shares of common stock to be issued to the shareholders of Flowray and Flowstar are to be registered or qualified for sale under applicable securities laws within 120 days of the date of issuance.

Of the $877,000 loan to Flowray and Flowstar noted previously, $519,000 will remain a loan to Flowray and Flowstar. The balance of the loan will be applied to the purchase price for the acquisition of Flowray shares by our Company. In addition to the loan of $519,000, we have agreed to increase the loan by an additional $505,000, for a total loan of $1,024,000 or $1,500,000 Canadian dollars. The loan will be secured by the general security agreement already signed by the borrowers and will bear interest at 5% per annum. The loan may be repaid depending upon the cash flow of Flowray and Flowstar and at the discretion of the boards of directors of the borrowers.

7


On the first closing date, the board of directors of each of Flowray and Flowstar will be comprised of three directors, two of whom will be nominated by our Company and one of whom will be nominated by the two existing shareholders.

Upon our acquisition of 51% of the issued shares of Flowray and Flowstar, we will have the option to purchase the remaining 49% of the issued shares of Flowray or Flowstar, or both, at the fair market value based on a valuation prepared by an independent business valuator. Our option to purchase the remaining 49% may be exercised at any time without an expiry date. If the existing shareholders of Flowstar and Flowray receive an offer from a third party to purchase their remaining 49% interest, we will have the right of first refusal to purchase the interest on the same terms as the offer.

We have not yet completed the transaction to acquire the interest in Flowstar and Flowray. Completion is subject to satisfactory due diligence and completion of documentation, among other things. There can be no assurance that we will complete this transaction on terms described herein, or at all.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Because of the adoption of our new business plan and past circumstances described herein, we do not currently offer any products or services, and we do not conduct any sales or marketing activities. We consider our new Plan too general at this time to estimate the exact products and services that we may derive from any future acquisition. Additionally, we have not yet been able to define our potential customer base or principal suppliers. Our research and development activities ceased in 2002 with the closure of Sentry.

We anticipate that all future business and research and development activities will be carried out by all of our potential target acquisitions, including Flowstar and Flowray, should this transaction close on terms that are acceptable.

In all likelihood some of our activities will incur costs for environmental compliance, because our intended business focus is on the oil and gas industry.

COMPETITION

Any competition experienced by our Company would be through our potential target companies, including Flowstar and Flowray, if the acquisition is completed. We cannot yet discuss any related competition, due to the contingent nature of the acquisition.

The petroleum service industry is populated with many specialized companies providing a host of services to producing companies. Many of these companies are significantly larger than our company, with far greater financial resources and widely accepted product and service offerings.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting any competition for any new future product and service offerings we may acquire or develop, or that we can successfully differentiate our offerings.

EMPLOYEES

We currently do not have any employees. Mr. John Anderson, our President & CEO, and Mr. Terry Mereniuk our CFO, currently devote approximately 15% and 20% of their time to our business respectively, as we are in the start up phase of our revised plan. We anticipate that this may increase as we develop our revised business plan.

As we grow, there will be a need to hire additional employees and consultants. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in attracting and retaining these required additional employees. Any delay in hiring these people could have a significant impact on our ability to complete the development of our business. The competition is intense for qualified executive and technical personnel and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in hiring the right individuals

All of our past employees and consultants have executed non-disclosure agreements, and we maintain an ongoing policy that all new employees and consultants are required to execute our non-disclosure agreement prior to commencing work on our behalf.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We currently do not hold any intellectual property, other than that for Sentry. Given the nature of our revised business, it is likely that a potential target company will directly hold intellectual property, which may consist of patents, licences, drawings or other proprietary rights to the product or service.

REGULATORY

We are currently not subject to any regulatory matters related to our business, as we are in the start up phase of our operations.

Any potential acquisition of a target company or interest in a target in the oil and gas industry, will be subject to standardized safety tests and must be certified as explosion proof prior to commercialization of any product. These tests are conducted by the Underwriters Laboratory, and if in Canada, the Canadian Standards Association.

Any potential product that is involved in the measurement of flows or quantities of natural gas or petroleum liquids or products will also likely be subject to certification by regulatory authorities to ensure that the product accurately measures quantities in a production setting.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Principal Business Offices

Prior to August, 2002, our business, executive and operational offices were located at 8525 Commerce Court, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 4N3. Our rental costs were approximately $5,600 per month.

By August 2002, our working capital had been totally depleted. As a consequence, our operations ceased in August and the offices of the Company were temporarily relocated to premises owned by a director and our president. Fixed assets comprising the furniture and some office equipment were abandoned, as it was determined that the proceeds of sale would be less than the cost of removal. The write off of asset carrying values required to give effect to this specific change are reflected in our financial statements.

Concurrent with the adoption of our revised business plan, we temporarily relocated our offices to 8709 – 50 Ave, Edmonton, Alberta, T6E 5H4, which are also the offices for Flowstar. We currently occupy approximately 750 square feet and, the premises are rent free. As we proceed with the further implementation of our business plan, we will likely relocate to larger premises under a commercial lease arrangement.

We do not have any plants and have minimal equipment for the operation of our office.

We do not intend to invest in real estate but may acquire interests in oil and gas properties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

CTI, along with Cobratech, have been sued in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada by Rajesh Taneja, an ex-contractor of Cobratech. The action was commenced on December 20, 2001. Mr. Taneja is suing the company for unspecified damages for wrongful dismissal. The Company disputes the claim and has filed a Statement of Defence denying the allegations of wrongful dismissal. We intend to vigorously defend the claim. No trial date has been set, and no Examinations for Discovery have been conducted.

Cobratech, along with various alleged guarantors, was sued in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, by Unity Wireless Corp. (“Unity”) for repayment of certain funds advanced to Cobratech. The action was commenced on October 24, 2001. In November 2000, Unity advanced $200,000 to Cobratech, evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a general security agreement covering the assets of Cobratech. The loan bears interest at 1% per month. On July 31, 2002 we settled with Unity. The settlement amount was $85,610, for which we issued 428,053 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.20 per share. The value equated to the market price of our stock at the time of the settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, Unity forgave $15,366 of interest that had accrued but remained unpaid on the loan. Mr. Godsy, the Chairman and a director of our company for a period while the lawsuit was

outstanding, was also a director of Unity. See, Item 12 “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below for further details.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

We did not hold a stockholders meeting in 2002, or submit matters to a vote of stockholders in 2002.

(1) These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commissions, and may not reflect actual transactions.

Our common stock is classified as a penny stock and as such, broker dealers dealing in our common stock will be subject to the disclosure rules for transactions involving penny stocks, which require the broker dealer to determine if

10


purchasing our common stock is suitable for a particular investor. The broker dealer must also obtain the written consent of purchasers to purchase our common stock. The broker dealer must also disclose the best bid and offer prices available for our stock and the price at which the broker dealer last purchased or sold our common stock. These additional burdens imposed on broker dealers may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could make it difficult for an investor to sell their shares.

At April 21, 2003, there were 19,783,375 common shares outstanding. At April 21, 2003, there were 71 holders of record of our common stock, 5 holders of 3,104,150 of our outstanding warrants, and 1 holder of an option to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock.

We have not distributed any dividends on our common stock and although not an established policy, we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors will determine any future dividend policy in light of conditions then existing, taking into consideration our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements. There can be no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future, or if we do so, the amount or frequency thereof.

We do not currently offer any form of equity compensation plan for our employees or directors.

     (c)      Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends since inception. We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in our business operations.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

We have not generated any revenues from products, services or operations since the inception of our company. As such, we are including herein a discussion of our plan of operation for the next 12 months for our revised business plan.

In addition, though not required for regulatory purposes, we are also including some additional summary analysis and information regarding our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. This analysis should be read jointly with the financial statements, related notes, and the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, which appear elsewhere in this filing.

Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months

Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the continued support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful which would significantly affect our ability to roll out our revised business plan. If not, we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements.

Our auditor's report on the December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph that states that as the Company has suffered significant losses from operations, substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our plan over the next several weeks is to complete the Flowstar and Flowray acquisition on terms described previously (See Item 1 “Proposed Acquisition”). If we do complete, our company will require additional cash of approximately $1,300,000 to fully complete the transaction. Additionally, we are currently experiencing a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,100,000. We also anticipate that we will require $30,000 monthly for corporate costs or $360,000 annually, for all of which we will need to raise additional funding.

These estimates may differ significantly after our needs are more fully developed. Our operations have been funded to date by debt and equity financing. We are relying on these sources of funding in order to provide our company with sufficient capital to continue our development and operational plans. There can be no assurance that the past trend will continue, which would significantly affect the financial condition of our Company and our ability to close the Flowstar and Flowray transaction.

Over the next 12 months, we also plan to closely monitor and implement solutions to successfully manage our proposed future growth. This will include:

14




  1.
Improve, upgrade and expand our business infrastructure. Identify a permanent office and acquire all necessary office equipment to ensure smooth operations and minimize ongoing corporate operating costs
     
  2.
Ensure that all target acquisitions hire, train and retain key management to ensure future success and maximize cash flows
     
  3.
Promote the advancement of commercialization development programs for target companies so they become cash flow positive as soon as is practically possible

Cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.

We believe our existing cash balances are sufficient to carry our normal operations for the next six months, before any cash requirements that may be needed for target investments or acquisitions, which will accelerate our need to raise additional cash. To the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may sell additional equity or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to our company or on acceptable terms.

We do not anticipate making any major purchases of capital assets in the next 12 months, or conducting any research and development. Our current corporate employee count is expected to remain the same for the next 12 months. Given the change in our business plan, we anticipate that any change in capital assets, research and development and employees would be subject to change in any targeted operating business we may acquire, including that of Flowstar and Flowray, should we complete the purchase.

Results from Operations – 2002 Compared to 2001

We incurred a net loss for the 2002 fiscal year of $1,703,039 compared to a net loss of $4,823,584 for 2001. The net loss for fiscal 2002 is comprised of a loss from operations of $695,261, and a loss from other items of $1,007,778.

The Company's operating loss for fiscal 2002 consist of general and administrative costs and totalled $695,261 compared to $650,819 for fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily due to an effort to reduce management and administrative levels as well as investor relations programs, travel and consulting costs until funding could be stabilized. In August 2001, the Company moved it's administrative offices and head office from its rented office space in Vancouver to the Sentry offices in Burnaby. In October 2002, after the shut down of Sentry, the Company moved its offices to the CEO and Director’s home. The Company did not compensate Sentry or it’s Director for use of their facilities as office space for the Company.

The Company had a loss from other items of $1,007,778 for the 2002 fiscal year compared to $4,172,765 for fiscal 2001. The loss from other items for fiscal 2002 consists primarily of valuation adjustments recorded for goodwill arising from the acquisition of Sentry and Cobratech.

During the year, the Company completed the acquisition of 90.7% of the common stock of Sentry. Sentry did not have any other source of financing, did not generate any sales, and was dependent upon CTI for all operating funds. In September 2002, management decided to close the Sentry office, abandon its assets and cease all operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources – 2002 Compared to 2001

Since inception, we have been dependent on investment capital and debt financing from our shareholders as our primary source of liquidity. We have not generated any revenue or income from our operations. We had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2002 of $6,539,091, primarily as a result of a loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 of $4,823,584. Our loss from operations for fiscal 2002 was $1,703,039 and $9,474 for 2000. The significant loss from operations in fiscal 2001 reflects the Company's decision to write down several of its long term

16


investments to their estimated market values, as well as the closure of the foreign operations of our subsidiary, Cobratech.

During 2002, our cash position increased nominally to $1,422 from $949. We used $630,021 for operations in fiscal 2002 compared to $608,234 in 2001. We also used $2,375 in investing activities for the purchase of capital assets during the 2002 year. The net cash used in operating and investing activities was financed by $551,457 from financing activities, resulting in a net increase in our cash position for the year of $473. The sources of cashflow from financing activities for the year consisted of a net increase in notes payable of $495,568 and advances from shareholders of $55,889.

During the year we issued stock valued at $1,274,689 in settlement of notes payable of $586,399, in settlement of amounts due to shareholders of $670,419 and $17,871 in settlement of accounts payable. During the year, we issued stock valued at $110,000 in exchange for common stock of Sentry and $48,610 to seed capital shareholders of Cobratech.

At the end of fiscal 2002, we had current assets totalling $1,422 compared to $1,288 at the end of fiscal 2001. Our fixed assets at the end of fiscal 2002 were $7,193 compared to $35,758, reflecting our decision to write down our abandoned assets.

The Company had $1,109,082 in current liabilities at the end of fiscal 2002 compared to $520,168 at the end of fiscal 2001. The increase is due to the consolidation of approximately $752,469 of net liabilities acquired on the acquisition of Sentry. We had long term liabilities of $ nil at the end of fiscal 2002 compared to $638,018 at the end of fiscal 2001. The decrease in long term liabilities is a result of the settlement of these debts for common stock during the year.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We believe our market risk exposures arise primarily from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates. We presently only transact business in Canadian and US Dollars. We believe that the exchange rate risk surrounding the future transactions of the Company will not materially or adversely affect our future earnings. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage risks or for speculative or trading purposes.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Following the transaction with Sentry Telecom Systems Inc., David J. Maxwell Ltd, our Company’s principal accountant was dismissed on March 11, 2002, and was replaced by the chartered accountants utilized by Sentry Telecom Systems Inc. The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors.

There were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former accountants satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

A new accountant has been engaged as the principal accountant to audit the issuer’s financial statements. The new accountant is Moore Stephens - Ellis Foster Chartered Accountant and was engaged as of March 11, 2002. Neither our Company nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted the new accountant regarding:

  (1)
The application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the small business issuer’s financial statements, as part of the process of deciding as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or
     
  (2) Any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or event identified in above.

Our Company has provided the former accountant with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to this Item. We have requested the former accountant furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating that is agrees with the statements made by the Company. We previously filed the letter as an exhibit to the 2001 Form 10-KSB.

Compensation of Directors

In February 2002, Mr. Palsenbarg and Mr. John Anderson, were each issued 150,000 stock purchase warrants, for services rendered as directors. The warrants have a cashless exercise price. In lieu of exercising this warrant, the holder may elect to receive shares of common stock equal to the “Value” of the warrant. “Value” is calculated as follows;

       X = Y(A-B)/A
       
  X = the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the holder
       
  Y = the number of shares of common stock purchasable under this warrant
       
  A =
the fair market value of one share of common stock. The fair market value is based on the average of the closing bid and ask prices for the stock for the 5 trading days prior to the date of the determination of fair value if quoted on an exchange, otherwise the fair market value is determined by an independent appraiser.
       
  B = Warrant price
       
     
The exercise price of all such warrants are subject to adjustment to protect against dilution in the event of stock dividends, splits, combinations, subdivisions, and reclassification.

On July 31, 2002 we settled with Unity. During 2001 we repaid $122,222 of the then outstanding loan, leaving a balance of $94,153 as at December 31, 2001. The settlement amount was $85,610, for which we issued 428,053 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.20 per share. The value equated to the market price of our stock at the time of the settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, Unity forgave $15,366 of interest that had accrued but remained unpaid on the loan. Mr. Godsy, the Chairman and a Director of our Company for a period while the lawsuit was outstanding, was also a director and beneficial shareholder of Unity.

On January 15, 2003, Mr. Jack Huber advanced our Company $5,000 Canadian dollars (approximately $3,180) under a promissory note. The note which bears interest at 12% per annum, was subsequently repaid.

On January 15, 2003, Mr. Jack Huber and Mr. William Cooper personally guaranteed payment of $100,000, being a portion of a loan to Sentry originally advanced under a loan agreement dated July 3, 2001. The loan was from an unrelated party and is secured by certain property of Sentry. The payment was due from Sentry on January 15, 2003, but remains unpaid as of the date hereof.

On January 28, 2003, we entered into an agreement with AHC Holdings Inc., under which AHC would lend our Company up to $2.0 million Canadian dollars or the approximate equivalent of $1,273,000 US dollars. AHC is a private company beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Alfred Comeau, a Director of our Company. The loan has been structured as a borrowing facility, is unsecured and all advances bear interest at 15% per annnum. All advances, regardless of the date advanced, are due on December 31, 2005. As of the date hereof, we have borrowed $1,435,161 Canadian dollars (approximately $913,000). As a bonus for providing the loan, AHC also received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of our stock at a price of $0.15 per share. The warrant is exercisable at any time prior to March 6, 2006.

On January 28, 2003 we issued a warrant to purchase 500,000 common shares of our stock to Mr. Terry Mereniuk, the CFO and a Director of our Company. The warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share at any time prior to March 6, 2006. The warrant was issued as a finders fee for the AHC loan noted above.

On October 31, 2002, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1,000,000 shares to each of Mr. Donald Farnell and Mr. John Anderson, for services rendered as Directors. The issuance was valued at $0.01 per share, or $10,000. As of the date hereof, the shares have not yet been issued. Any issuance will be subject to applicable resale restrictions.

Mr. Farnell a Director, and President, and CEO of CTI from March 26, 2002 to March 31, 2003, was paid $8,478 for April 2002 through July 2002, and $nil thereafter (2001 - $nil). He was paid through Communication Management Group Ltd. (“CMGL”), a company owned by his wife. Mr. Farnell also served as President and CEO for Sentry from September 12, 2000 until October 3, 2001 under a monthly contract of $12,000 Canadian dollars per month (approximately $7,600 US dollars) with CMGL. As at October 31, 2002, CMGL was owed approximately $211,000 for these services to Sentry, which was forgiven by CMGL as of this date.

EXHIBIT 10.1

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

This Audit Committee Charter (Charter) has been adopted by the Board of Directors (the Board) of CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. ("CTI"). The Audit Committee of the Board (the Committee) shall review and reassess this Charter annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

1.        Role and Independence: Organization

The Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices of CTI. It may also have such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to it by the Board. The membership of the Committee shall consist of at least three directors, who are each free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, may interfere with such member's individual exercise of independent judgment. Each Committee member shall also meet the independence and financial literacy requirements for serving on audit committees, and at least one member shall have financial management expertise, all as set forth in the applicable rules of the Securities Exchange Commission. The Committee shall maintain free and open communication with the independent auditors and Company management. In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter relating to CTI's accounting, internal control or financial reporting practices brought to its attention, with full access to all Company books, records, facilities and personnel. The Committee may retain outside counsel, auditors or other advisors.

One member of the Committee shall be appointed as chair. The chair shall be responsible for leadership of the Committee, including scheduling and presiding over meetings, preparing agendas, and making regular reports to the Board. The chair will also maintain regular liaison with the CEO, CFO and the lead independent audit partner.

The Committee shall meet at least two times a year, or more frequently as the Committee considers necessary. At least once each year the Committee shall have separate private meetings with the independent auditors and management.

2.        Responsibilities

Although the Committee may wish to consider other duties from time to time, the general recurring activities of the Committee in carrying out its oversight role are described below. The Committee shall be responsible for:

·            Recommending to the Board the independent auditors to be retained (or nominated for shareholder approval) to audit the financial statements of CTI. Such auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee, as representatives of the shareholders.

·            Evaluating, together with the Board and management, the performance of the independent auditors and, where appropriate, replacing such auditors.

·            Obtaining annually from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and CTI, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard Number1. The Committee shall actively engage in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditors and shall take, or recommend that the Board take, appropriate actions to oversee and satisfy itself as to the auditors' independence.

·            Reviewing the audited financial statements and discussing them with management and the independent auditors. These discussions shall include the matters required to be discussed under Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 and consideration of the quality of CTI's accounting principles as applied in its financial reporting, including a review of particularly sensitive accounting estimates, reserves and accruals, judgmental areas, audit adjustments (whether or not recorded), and other such inquiries as

35


the Committee or the independent auditors shall deem appropriate. Based on such review, the Committee shall make its recommendation to the Board as to the inclusion of CTI's audited statements in CTI's Annual Report on Form 10K.

·            Issuing annually a report to be included in CTI's proxy statement as required by the rules of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commissions.

·            Overseeing the relationship with the independent auditors, including discussing with the auditors the audit process, receiving and reviewing audit reports, and providing the auditors full access to the Committee (and the Board) to report on any and all appropriate matters.

·            Discussing with a representative of management and the independent auditors any issues arising from the independent auditors review of the quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of CTI's Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.

·            Discussing with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of and compliance with CTI's internal controls.

·            Discussing with management and/or CTI's general counsel any legal matters (including the status of pending litigation) that may have a material impact on CTI's financial statements, and any material reports or inquiries from regulatory or governmental agencies.

The Committee's job is one of oversight. Management is responsible for the preparation of CTI's financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Committee and the Board recognize that management and the independent auditors have more resources and time, and more detailed knowledge and information regarding CTI's accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices than the Committee does; accordingly the Committee's oversight role does not provide any expert or special assurance as to the financial statements and other financial information provided by CTI to its shareholders and others.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc.
(formerly Unique Bagel Co., Inc.)

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. (formerly Unique Bagel Co., Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended and cumulative data for the period from August 11, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and cumulative data from August 11, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue on as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)



1.
  

Incorporation

CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. (“CTI”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 11, 1998. CTI changed its business focus in early fiscal 2003. The Company’s new mandate is to realize enhanced capital appreciation for it’s stockholders, by providing expertise to emerging companies offering timely product solutions and/or strategic investment opportunities in the petroleum production and service industries. CTI intends to carry out it’s new mandate through investments in companies or products where early stage product development has been completed. Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into a letter of intent to purchase a 51% interest in two companies involved in the development of products for the petroleum industry (see Note 13).The Company is in the start-up phase of operations, and has not yet realized any revenues from their proposed products or services.

   
2.
  

Continuance of Operations

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with the assumption being that the Company will continue on a going concern basis and that it will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2002, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,107,660 (2001 - $518,880) and accumulated deficits totalling $6,539,091 (2001 - $4,836,052).

The future of the Company as a "going concern" is highly dependent upon the Company's ability to attract new equity or debt financing. The Company currently has no revenue from operations, is in a start-up phase with it’s existing assets and has no significant assets, tangible or intangible. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate revenues in the future, or that we will be able to operate profitably in the future, if at all. The Company has incurred significant net losses in each fiscal year since inception of operations. In order to continue with it’s revised business plan, the Company will require additional equity or debt financing. The Company will consider issuing additional equity or debt financing to fund its continued operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favourable terms, if at all.

Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments, if any that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which may differ from those shown in the financial statements.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)



3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     
  (a)
  

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTI Diversified Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cobratech Industries Inc. ("Cobratech") and its 90.7% owned subsidiary, Sentry Telecom Systems Inc. ("Sentry"), (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     
  (b)
  

Principles of Accounting

These financial statements are stated in US dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     
  (c)
  

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

     
  (d)
  

Long-Lived Assets Impairment

Effective January 1, 2002, certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances require consideration as to whether their carrying value has become impaired pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company evaluated long-term assets of the Company in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     
  (e)
  

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into US dollars at current exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts of these operations are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  (a) Fixed Assets
     
   
Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation of capital assets is calculated using the following methods and rates:
     
      Computer equipment - 30% declining balance basis
    Furniture and fixtures - 20% declining balance basis
       
 
Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets’ carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.
     
  (g)
  

Stock-based Compensation

The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to adopt a fair value based method for determining expense related to stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. The Company has no stock options granted, issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2002.

     
  (h)
  

Loss per share

Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share as the warrants to acquire 1,604,150 common shares that are outstanding at December 31, 2002 are anti-dilutive.

     
  (i)
  

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

     
  (j)
  

Advertising and promotion

The Company expenses advertising and promotion costs as incurred.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  (k)
  

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

     
  (l)
  

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Deficiency. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 did not change the current accounting treatments for components of comprehensive income.

     
  (m)
  

Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and special financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and due to shareholders approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

     
  (n)
  

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. The rescission of SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments, and SFAS No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements, which amended SFAS No. 4, will affect income statement classification of gains and losses from extinguishment of debt. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2002.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146 (SFAS No. 146), Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issued No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. SFAS No. 146 generally requires a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity to be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. The pronouncement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148 (SFAS No. 148), Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, to provide alternative methods for voluntary transition to SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also requires disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of indebtedness of Others – An Interpretation of FASB Statements of No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for and disclosures of certain guarantees issued and outstanding. FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee. FIN 45 is effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 will not have impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. This interpretation addressed the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary economic beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interest. The interpretation is intended to provide guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary. The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for VIEs in existence prior to January 31, 2003, outlines consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The company has reviewed its major commercial relationship and its overall economic interests with other companies consisting of related parties, manufacture vendors, loan creditors and other suppliers to determine the extent of its variable economic interest in these parties. The review has not resulted in a determination that the Company would be judged to be the primary economic beneficiary in any material relationships, or that any material entities would be judged to be Variable Interest Entities of the Company.

     
4.  Business Combinations
     
  (a)
  

Cobratech Industries Inc.

On February 16, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Cobratech Industries Inc. ("Cobratech"), a British Columbia private company involved in the security consulting industry.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized over their useful lives or estimate of their useful lives. Indefinite-life intangible assets will be tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if any events occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Intangible assets with a definite life are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated non-discounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the assets. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated by the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:

9. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency)

    (vi)
The Company entered into various share for debt settlement agreements and allotted 2,033,493 shares of common stock of the Company for settlement of certain promissory notes payable and amounts due to shareholders totalling $1,016,872.
       
  (b) Warrants
     
   

In February 2002, the Company issued 300,000 share purchase warrants, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and an expiry date of December 2006, to two directors of the Company. In lieu of exercising this warrant, the holder may elect to receive shares of common stock equal to the "value" of the warrant, calculated based on the fair market value of the shares in excess of the market price. The Company accounted for the issuance of 300,000 share purchase warrants in accordance with APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and recorded $33,000 as a stock based compensation expense.

Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) per share is required by SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its share purchase warrants under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The weighted average fair value of share purchase warrants granted to the directors of the Company during the year was $0.31 based on the Black-Scholes model; assumption: risk-free interest rate of 5.5%, dividend yield 0%, volatility of 135% and expected lives of approximately 4 years. Had the share purchase warrants been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the pro forma net loss will be increased to $1,764,126 and the basic and diluted net loss per share would be $0.09.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company has the following warrants outstanding:


      Number of       Exercise Expiry date  
      warrants     price    
                 
      702,770   $ 2.20 June 2003  
      601,380   $ 1.50 June 2003  
      300,000   $ 0.25 December 2006  
     
         
      1,604,150          
               
                 

10. Income Taxes
   
 

As at December 31, 2002, the Company has non-capital losses and undepreciated capital cost of approximately $3,440,000 and $109,000, respectively, which can be carried forward for tax purposes and used to reduce taxable income of future years. The non-capital losses expire commencing in 2006 and through 2009.

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:








 
      2002     2001  
 





 
  Undepreciated capital cost of capital assets over their net book            
  value $ 37,000   $ 26,000  
  Estimated tax loss carryforwards   1,204,000     1,091,000  
  Less: valuation allowance   (1,241,000 )   (1,117,000 )
 





 
$ -   $ -  
   
               
  The valuation allowance reflects the fact that realization of the tax assets is uncertain
