Liquidity	NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY The Company’s liquidity is closely monitored by management. The Company uses cash flow forecasting linked to production forecasts and existing and projected credit and bank facilities, to ensure there are sufficient resources to fulfil its short term needs and strategic plans. At December 31, 2014, the Company had a three-year term loan in the U.K. with Lloyds Bank on which the balance reduces each month until it is extinguished in April 2017. The original loan was for $1.8 million ($1.7 million using the exchange rates as at December 31, 2014) and at December 31, 2014, the balance outstanding was $1.3 million. This loan has a covenant that links to the net worth of the UK holding company. The Company was in compliance with the covenants existing at both December 31, 2014 and 2013. Short-term credit facilities are heavily dependent upon the sales and underlying profitability of the Company’s subsidiaries. Credit facilities for the operating subsidiaries are a function of accounts receivable. There are no major capital expenditure plans which will absorb working capital and management considers that the current level of working capital is adequate for the Company’s current requirements. The majority of the Company’s cash is held by its foreign subsidiaries. The net worth covenant which pertains to the Lloyds Bank loan, described above, imposes practical limitations on the amounts that may be repatriated for use in paying corporate expenses and paying corporate debt. The overseas companies pay management charges to the parent Company for management services and brand name use and also pay dividends if and when appropriate. As a result of the combination of forecasted cash flows from operations and existing financing arrangements, the Company believes that as a stand-alone business it has sufficient funding to support its working capital requirements during the next 12 months. The Company has a substantial backlog as of December 31, 2014 and March 21, 2015 and the Company continues to experience good booking levels to support future shipments. In order to support future expected growth, the Company plans to reinvest a substantial amount of cash from operations back into the business for inventory purchases, engineering and product development. The Company recognizes the need to closely manage cash from operations to meet the operational needs of the business and satisfy near-term debt service obligations. The Company’s ability to support its business plan is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, manage costs and satisfy long-term debt service obligations. Taking these factors into consideration, management believes the Company will be able to satisfy its long-term debt service obligations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, and meet its short term obligations and commitments. As explained below in Note 20, since the year end the Company has agreed to sell its electronic devices segment for a gross sale price of $22 million. These proceeds will be reduced by the requirement to repay debt and settle other liabilities but the cash remaining is expected to be sufficient to meet any other liabilities and ensure a dividend to shareholders. This sale and plan for a subsequent liquidation dividend to shareholders requires shareholder approval.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.
