Going Concern Note
12. Business Condition and Management Plan

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations during the past several years due primarily to decreasing sales of existing product lines and a general economic downturn in all markets the Company serves.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on improving the Company's profitability and cash flow and securing additional financing if needed. Management continues to review and revise its strategic plan and believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and profitability through increased sales of existing products and the introduction of new products to the market place. Management believes that the actions presently being taken by the Company will provide the stimulus for it to continue as a going concern, however, because of the inherent uncertainties there can be no assurances to that effect. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management took steps to reduce expenses throughout the Company in fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011 in the form of substantial reductions in personnel, wage reductions for all personnel and expenditure restrictions in most aspects of the Company’s operations. Anticipated cost savings were achieved during the past four years and management expects these measures to continue through fiscal 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012 management entered into two unsecured convertible loan agreements that have provided approximately $675,000 of cash to date. One of the convertible loan agreements was fully converted during fiscal 2012 and the other on December 28, 2012.

In addition, on December 30, 2012 management entered into an amended unsecured convertible loan agreement and an additional revolving line of credit which may provide approximately $717,000 of liquidity to meet on going working capital requirements. One agreement is an unsecured revolving line of credit with a major shareholder who is also an employee and the other is an unsecured convertible loan agreement with a major shareholder who is also a Director as discussed in Notes 4 and 5. These facilities are available through December 2013.

The above available financing resources together with management’s revised strategic plan to increase revenues and profitability through increased sales of existing products, the introduction of new products to the market place and the large order from a Tier 1 Supplier should provide the Company with the needed working capital for the foreseeable future.
