PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited condensed financial statements set forth at the end of this Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2003, starting on page F-1, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information in this report, including the following discussion, may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends the disclosure in these sections and throughout this report on Form 10-QSB to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. All statements regarding Sure Trace Security Corporation's (the "Company") expected financial position and operating results, its business strategy, its financing plans, and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes by identified by the Company's use of words such as "may", "believe", "plan", "will", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", and other phrases of similar meaning. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-lo oking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions.
Plan of Operation
At present, based on current operations, the Company does not have sufficient cash and liquid assets to satisfy its cash requirements on a monthly basis. While the Company does generate income from the operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Identification Technologies Inc., these proceeds are not sufficient to meet the Company's current monthly overhead.
The Company's operational plans call for the expenditure of approximately $700,000 over the next twelve months on ongoing sales and marketing, technical support, including salaries paid to employees and consultants. The Company does not intend to participate in any further research and development.
The Company anticipates that its subsidiary, Identification Technologies Inc., will hire an additional 12 employees during the upcoming twelve months.
Results of Operations
Comparison of quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 Sure Trace incurred losses of $360,053 and $202,892, respectively.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2003 the losses increased significantly as compared to the same three month period ended March 31, 2002 as a result of an increase primarily in consulting fees of $148,256, wages and benefits of $115,455 and professional fees of $47,851. The Company's total expenses for the period ended March 31, 2003 were $367,565, compared to total expenses of $243,863 for the same period from the previous year. These increased costs occurred primarily as a result of the operations of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Identification Technologies Inc., which was acquired in January 2003. Additionally the Company expects wages and benefits, professional fees, travel, sales and marketing expenses, consulting fees and administrative expenses incurred during the current fiscal year to be substantially increased over figures reported for comparative periods from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 as a result of the continuing operations of Identification Tec hnologies and the ongoing costs which may be required by the parent to source additional financing.
2
Gross profits to offset operating expenses decreased over the comparative periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 by approximately 82% to $7,512 from $40,971. This decrease in revenues is primarily the result of the Company, in August 2002, ceasing the operations of the business reflected in its March 31, 2002 financial statements and the acquisition of Identification Technologies in January 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Summary of Working Capital and Stockholders' Equity
As of March 31, 2003, Sure Trace had negative working capital of $716,057 and Stockholders' Deficit of $716,057, compared with negative working capital of $13,205 and Stockholders' Deficit of $13,205 as of December 31, 2002.
The increase in Stockholders' Equity at March 31, 2003, as compared to the figures reported for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 is primarily due to the addition of goodwill in the amount of $803,764 attributable to the acquisition of Identification Technologies Inc. in January 2003. As of March 31, 2003. The Company also had capital assets of $65,797, cash of $792, accounts receivable of $4,544 and prepaid deposits of $4,020, compared to no assets as of December 31, 2002. Such goodwill and other assets was partially offset by losses from operations incurred during the three month period in the amount of $360,053, and an increase in liabilities to the amount of $892,122 over liabilities of $716,057 as of December 31, 2002. Financing activities during the three month period resulted in an increase to loans payable from related parties to $281,895 from $259,926 as at the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company's accounts payables also increased to $320,780 as of March 31, 2003 from $252,552 as of December 31, 2002. This increase was also due to the operations of the Company's subsidiary Identification Technologies.
The majority of the Company's financing activities subsequent to March 31, 2003 have been by way of private investor's loans and subscriptions for shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company was unable to obtain additional capital investment in amounts sufficient to fund operating losses and cash used as described in our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2003.
Liquidity
The Company will require additional capital up to $25 million over the next twenty-four (24) months to fully implement our business plan, which includes significant marketing efforts, expansion of our current market, development of new markets and acquisitions. To the date of this report the Company has been successful in raising funds required to meet our existing shortfall for the funding of our operations. Funds have been raised through private loans and equity financing. The Company anticipates revenues generated from the business of Identification Technologies to cover the Company's operating expenses on an accrual basis commencing in September 2003 and on a cash flow basis commencing in January 2004. The realization of such revenues will reduce the requirement for additional funding to cover expenses associated with the Company's operations but will not be sufficient to expand the Company's operations. Moreover, we cannot be certain the Company will be successful in achieving revenues from those operations. Furthermore we cannot be certain that we will be able to raise any additional capital to fund our ongoing operations.
3
Sources of Working Capital
During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, Sure Trace's primary sources of working capital have come from the net proceeds from the sale of 4,397,664 shares of common stock or the exercise of outstanding stock options. A total of $258,361 was realized from such issuances. These proceeds were allocated to ongoing operations of the Company and Identification Technologies Inc.
Sure Trace has been identifying and reviewing potential acquisition candidates. As of this time, no letters of intent have been executed with any acquisition candidates. In the event of any acquisition, Sure Trace will most likely have to finance the acquisition with either additional equity or debt capital or through the issuance of additional shares of common stock.
Report of Management's Responsibility
The Company's sole executive officer, Mr. Peter Leeuwerke, who serves as the Company's principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, has implemented the Company's disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known Mr. Leeuwerke. Mr. Leeuwerke has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date (the "Evaluation Date") of this quarterly report.
Based on such evaluation, Mr. Leeuwerke has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting him on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Moreover, there were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of such recent evaluation.
Prior to the filing date of this quarterly report, the Company had not adopted a complete set of written policies, controls and procedures. The Company is now developing such written document and expects that in the process of such undertaking it will discover internal control policies and practices that the Company should implement and follow that are not part of its current practice.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
On January 29, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Identification Technologies, Inc. Under the terms of such acquisition, 1 million shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock were issued to the shareholders of Identex. The Company's Series B Preferred Stock allows the holders thereof to convert such shares into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the ratio of 178 shares of common stock for every one share of Series B Preferred Stock. Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, the shareholders of Identex converted their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The issuance of these shares was done in compliance with Reg. D and Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. No commissions or finders fees were paid in connection with this offering.
On March 6, 2003, the sole holder of Sure Trace's Series A Preferred Stock, Ingenuity Marketing (2000) Ltd. exercised its right to convert 890,000 of the 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Sure Trace's common stock. As a result of such conversion, Sure Trace issued 11,866,667 to Ingenuity Marketing 2000 Ltd. Ingenuity Marketing then elected to return the remaining 110,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to treasury for cancellation. Ingenuity Marketing is an Alberta corporation that is owned and controlled by Sure Trace's CEO, Mr. Peter Leeuwerke. The issuance of these shares was done in compliance with Reg. D and Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. No commissions or finders fees were paid in connection with this offering.

1. Operations and going concern |
|
Cormax Business Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated July 22, 1983 under the laws of Utah for the purpose of obtaining capital to seek potentially profitable business opportunities. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in several different organizational activities. In 1997, the Company acquired two entities: Watchout, a California corporation, and Goldpoint International, a limited liability company. In November of 1998, the corporation changed its name to Watchout! Inc. In February 2001, the Company changed its name to Cormax Business Solutions, Inc. In March 2001, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of Expanded System Solutions, Inc. (ESSI). ESSI is engaged in the installation of networking and communication facilities and a reseller of networking and communication equipment. On January 29, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Identification Technologies Inc. ("Identex") (Note 3). Immediately f ollowing the acquisition of Identex, the Company changed its name to Sure Trace Security Corporation. |
|
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred significant operating losses over the last two years and has yet to secure significant sales. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to raise capital and achieve profitable operations. It is management's intention to continue to pursue market acceptance for its product and identify alternate equity funding sources until such time that there is sufficient operating cash flow to fund operating requirements. |
|
The Company has raised and management feels will continue to raise sufficient capital on a monthly basis to fund the Company's operating requirements. There can be no assurance that such capital will be successfully obtained. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient capital, it will need to reduce expenses and/or curtail operations accordingly. |
|
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. |
|

2. Summary of significant accounting policies |
|
Basis of presentation |
|
These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |
|
The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows as of March 31, 2003 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 have been made . |
|
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2002 Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. |
|
Principles of consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Expanded Systems Solutions Inc. and Identification Technologies Inc., both incorporated under the Company Act of the Province of Alberta, Canada. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated subsequent to its acquisition. |
|
Foreign currency translation |
|
The Company considers the Canadian dollar its functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in effect at the time of the acquisition or issue. Revenue and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Resulting translation gains and losses are accumulated in a separate component of shareholder's equity. (continued) |
F-6
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
|
Capital assets |
|
Capital assets are recorded at cost. The rate of amortization applied on a declining balance basis to write off the cost of computer equipment and furniture and fixtures over their estimated lives of 30% and 20%, respectively. |
|
Use of estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Goodwill |
|
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standard No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to annual impairment testing, which compares the carrying value to the fair value and when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to the fair value. |
|
Financial instruments |
|
The Company has various financial instruments that include cash, accounts receivable, cheques in excess of cash on deposit, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and loans payable. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of the amounts due to related parties or the loans payable due to their uncertain repayment terms. The carrying values of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value due to their relatively short period to maturity. |
|
Income taxes |
|
Deferred income taxes result from significant carry forwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined by applying presently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. (continued) |
F-7
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
|
Net loss per share |
The Company reports basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants and other convertible securities were exercised or converted into common stock. For all periods presented, all outstanding warrants were anti-dilutive. |

Recent accounting pronouncements |
|
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and it has not had a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations. |
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Account for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Management's preliminary assessment of this statement is that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. |
|
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" (FAS 148). The statement amends SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:" (FAS 123) to provide alternative methods of voluntarily transition to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. FAS 148 also amends the disclosure requirement of FAS 123 to require disclosure of the method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results in both annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure provisions will be effective for the Company beginning with the Company's quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and management's preliminary assessment is that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

|
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) |
|
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of SFAS 149 are required to be applied prospectively. |
|
|
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 4 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of certain guarantees. FIN 45 also requires disclosure about certain guarantees that an entity has issued. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. |
|
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management's preliminary assessment of this statement is that it will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. (continued) |

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) |
|
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) |
|
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The guidance in EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2003. This issue addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, EITF 00-21 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one earnings process and, if it does, how to divide the arrangement into separate units of accounting consistent with the identified earning processes for revenue recognition purposes. This issue also addresses how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. Management's preliminary assessment of this statement is that it wi ll not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. |

3. Acquisition |
|
On January 29, 2003, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Identification Technologies Inc. ("Identex"), an Alberta corporation with its principal offices located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, in exchange for 1,000,000 Series B preferred shares of common stock in the Company. Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, the shareholders of Identex converted their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 178,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. |

On December 23, 2002, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the "Settlement Agreements") with each of the following parties: John Bader, Wayne E. Williams and JAGI Capital Group, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Virginia. The Settlement Agreements were entered into to fully settle the litigation brought in the Tarrant County District Court in the State of Texas entitled John Bader, Wayne E. Williams and JAGI Capital Group vs. Watchout! Inc. and David Galoob and Robert Galoob for $259,926 plus interest accrued to December 31, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreements, the Company was to pay an aggregate of $22,500 to the plaintiffs on February 15, 2003 and another $22,500 on March 30, 2003. The Company has not made any portion of these payments. The Company is also obligated under the Settlement Agreements to issue to plaintiffs Bader and Williams such shares of its common stock that h as a value of $230,000 and issue to plaintiff JAGI Capital Group 250,000 purchase warrants giving JAGI the right to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The price of the shares to be issued to Bader and Williams and the purchase price for the warrants issued to JAGI are each to be equal 75% percent of the lowest market value of the Company's stock as of specific events. The Company is obligated to register the shares to be issued to Bader and Williams and the shares underlying the warrants issued to JAGI in a Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by February 28, 2003. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed such registration statement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite the fact that the Company has not made the cash payments or filed the registration statement as required under the Settlement Agreements, the plaintiffs have not taken further action against the Company. The Company's President has received verbal commitments from each of Bader, Williams and JAGI that they will forego any further action against the Company while the Company is attempting to locate financing.

6. Notes payable (continued) |
|
This loan from Malcap Investments Ltd., a company owned by shareholders of the Company, was renegotiated during the year. The loan is now unsecured and due on demand and therefore, is classified as a current liability. |
|
|
7. Income taxes |
|
The potential tax benefits of the losses carried forward offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount as it is not more likely than not that the losses carried forward will be utilized before their expiry. |
|
|
8. Capital stock |
|
On January 29, 2003, the 1,000,000 preferred shares were issued as consideration for the outstanding shares of Identification Technologies Inc. 2,000,000 preferred shares were then exchanged for 356,000,000 common shares. Also on that date, all of the issued and outstanding common shares were rolled-back on a 15:1 basis. This roll back is presented retroactively in these financial statements. After these transactions, there were 30,983,685 common shares and no preferred shares outstanding. |
|
During the period, 4,397,664 common shares were issued for cash consideration of $258,361. |
