Discontinued Operations
On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Cancable Holding Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Cancable”) and Cancable and Dependable Hometech, LLC (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold its equity interest in Cancable to Purchaser for a consideration of US$1.00 on such date. In connection with such sale, the Company assigned certain of its liabilities and obligations to Cancable, including (i) a secured term note of the Company dated February 13, 2006, for an original principal amount of US$8.25 million, which is currently held by Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (“VUS”), Valens Offshore SPV I, Ltd. and PSource Structured Debt Limited (“PSource”), (ii) a secured term note of the Company dated June 24, 2008, for an original principal amount of US$800,000, which is currently held by VUS, and (iii) a secured term note of the Company dated June 24, 2008, for an original principal amount of US$1,700,000, which is currently held by Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp. (such holders of the term notes listed in clauses (i) to (iii), collectively, the “Holders”, and such term notes, collectively, the “Notes”). The aggregate outstanding amount owed under the Notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) was approximately US$9,800,000 as of September 16, 2011. The Holders also (a) terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interest and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to approximately US$1,500,000 of indebtedness owed to the Holders by certain other subsidiaries of the Company, (b) cancelled their warrants and options to purchase approximately 15,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, as well as the stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and (c) terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interest and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to approximately US$5,100,000 of indebtedness owed to the Holders by Cancable and its subsidiaries. In addition, in connection with the sale of Cancable to Purchaser, the Company assigned its rights in certain receivables owed to the Company by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Cancable, totaling approximately US$4,800,000 as of September 16, 2011. The Holders are affiliates of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”)

Liquidity and going concern
Our consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have an accumulated deficit of $21,988,750, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,373,291 and a working capital deficit of $ 416,515 at September 30, 2011, and at such date have current maturities of term loans aggregating to $1,548,207 (“Iview Note”) to Laurus which the Company does not currently have the ability to pay. As a result of the sale of Cancable Group as discussed above, the Holders of the Iview Note terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interests and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to the Iview Note.
Assuming that Laurus does not demand repayment of their term loans, management believes that its existing capital will be sufficient to sustain its operations. Management plans to seek additional capital in the future to fund operations, growth and expansion through additional equity, debt financing or credit facilities. The Company has had early stage discussions with investors about potential investment in the Company at a future date. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders. The Company has increased its rates for services provided by AC Technical to improve gross margins. This is in line with our competitors. The Company also expects to see the benefits of its research and development efforts within the next 12 months as it starts to introduce its own line of customized products to the industry. These products and technologies are expected to improve gross margins. The Company believes that it will be eligible for research and development tax credits at year end for its research and development efforts during the year and these are additional sources of cash flow for the Company. Finally, the Company is also negotiating longer credit terms with its suppliers from 45 days to 60 to 75 days. For all the reasons mentioned above, we believe that we have adequate capital and short term borrowing capability and that we will be able to sustain our operations and continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, although there can be no assurance of this. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Inventory
Inventory consists of parts, materials and supplies and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the first in, first out basis. The inventory is net of estimated obsolescence ($100,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010), and excess inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of debt using the treasury stock method. Adjustments to earnings per share calculation include reversing interest related to the convertible debts and changes in derivative instruments. During periods when losses are incurred dilutive common shares are not considered in the EPS computations as their effect would be anti-dilutive. There were no common equivalent shares included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 because we had losses from operations for such periods and therefore such common equivalent shares were anti-dilutive.

Deferred Financing Costs, Net
|
Deferred financing costs, net are associated with the Company’s term notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the amortization of deferred financing cost was approximately $2,179 (2010 - $19,502). The deferred financing costs were fully amortized by September 30, 2011.
In 2008, the Company established credit facilities with a Canadian chartered bank to provide for borrowings by its subsidiaries, AC Technical and Cancable Inc. As a result of the sale of Cancable Group as discussed above, the credit facility for Cancable was removed. The credit facility for AC Technical is $500,000 and bears interest at the bank’s domestic prime rate plus 1.5% for Canadian dollar amounts. Interest is payable monthly. The facility is secured by a first security interest in book debts, inventory, certain other assets and life insurance. As at September 30, 2011, the interest rate of the Canadian dollar amount was 4.0%. At September 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and the average borrowing outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $127,656. The agreements contain financial covenants pertaining to maintenance of tangible net worth and debt service coverage ratio. In the event of default, the bank could at its discretion cancel the facilities and demand immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts.
At September 30, 2011, the Company was contingently liable under an irrevocable letter of credit issued by our bank in November 2010 in the amount of $150,000 which will expire in November 2011. The letter of credit was issued to a customer as a security for the performance of a preventive maintenance contract awarded to AC Technical.
In January 2006, concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of Cancable Inc., the Company entered into a series of agreements with Laurus whereby Cancable issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Cancable Note”) in the amount of $6,865,000 and Cancable Holding issued to Laurus a related option to purchase up to 49 shares of common stock of Cancable Holding (up to 49% of the outstanding shares of Cancable Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Option”). The loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company, subject to the bank’s security interest. The Cancable Note was assigned to Cancable as a result of sale of Cancable on September 16, 2011.
In February 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries, Iview Holding and Iview DSI entered into a series of agreements with Laurus pursuant to a refinancing transaction whereby the Company issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Company Note”) in the amount of $8,250,000 and Iview DSI issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Iview Note”) in the amount of $2,000,000. Concurrently, the Company issued to Laurus a related warrant to purchase up to 2,411,003 shares of common stock of the Company (up to 7.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company) at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Warrant”) and Iview Holding issued to Laurus a related option to purchase up to 20 shares of common stock of Iview Holding (up to 20% of the outstanding shares of Iview Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Option”). As a result of the sale of Cancable on September 16, 2011, the Company Note was assigned to Cancable.
The Iview Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 7%. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Per the original terms of this note, the minimum monthly payments on the term note were $8,333 through the original maturity date (February 1, 2011), with the balance of $1,600,000 payable on such date. As a result of the sale of Cancable, the loans are no longer guaranteed and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries; however, the note is still outstanding at September 30, 2011 in the amount of $1,548,207.
The options held by Laurus to acquire 49% of Cancable Holding and 20% of Iview Holding are accounted for as noncontrolling interests. As a result of the sale of Cancable on September 16, 2011, the options have been cancelled by Laurus.
The Company Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 7%. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Per the original terms of this note, the minimum monthly payments on the term note were $137,500 commencing March 1, 2007 to February 1, 2011, with a balance of $4,950,000 payable on the maturity date. However, as allowed by the debt agreement, since March 2007, the Company has deferred such monthly payments until maturity by issuing warrants to purchase up to 4,860,000 shares of common stock of the Company at per-share prices from $0.03 to $2.84. As a result of the sale of Cancable, the Company Note was assigned to Cancable and all warrants issued were cancelled.
In June 2008, the Company and its subsidiary,
Cancable Inc., entered into a financing transaction whereby the Company issued to Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp. (“Valens Offshore”) and Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (“VUS.”) secured term notes in the amount of $1,700,000 and $800,000, respectively (collectively, the “Company Second Notes”). Valens Offshore and VUS are entities related to Laurus. The Company also issued to Valens Offshore and VUS warrants to purchase up to 1,333,333 and 627,451 shares, respectively, of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share. The loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to the bank’s security interest. As a result of the sale of Cancable, the term loans were assigned to Cancable and all warrants issued were cancelled.
Interest on the term notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $419,138 (2010: $466,642).
As a result of the sale of Cancable, the term loans assigned to Cancable Group were as follows:

Note Payable to Related Parties
|
Notes payable to related parties consists of two notes payable for $750,000, each bearing interest at 3% per annum and having no fixed terms of repayment. However, pursuant to the Laurus Financing, these notes have been subordinated to the Company’s obligations to Laurus and they are classified as non-current. The notes are due to Malar Trust Inc. (the Company’s chairman is the shareholder of Malar Trust Inc.).
Interest expense recognized for the nine months period ended September 30, 2011 was $40,987 (2010 - $39,781).
As a result of prior large net operating losses, the gain on sale of Cancable resulted in no income taxes payable. The Company has unutilized taxable losses in the United States available for carry forward to reduce net income of approximately $3,000,000, which expire in various years between 2028 and 2030. In addition, the Company has unutilized taxable losses in the Canadian taxes available for carry forward to reduce net income of approximately $1,000,000 otherwise payable in future years which begin to expire in 2015 through 2020.

Shareholders’ (Deficit)
|
Options
In conjunction with the issuance of the Cancable Note and Iview Notes in 2006, the Company had granted Laurus options to purchase up to 49% of Cancable Holding Corp. and 20% of Iview Holding Corp. As a result of the sale of Cancable on September 16, 2011, the options mentioned above were cancelled.
The Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives for key employees, directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company by encouraging their ownership of the common stock of the Company and to aid the Company in retaining such key employees, directors, consultants and other individuals upon whose efforts the Company’s success and future growth depends and in attracting other such employees, directors, consultants and individuals.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or its Compensation Committee. The Plan allowed for the issuance of 4,000,000 options to purchase shares of common stock and shares of common stock covered by options which terminated or expired prior to exercise were available for further options under the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that were allowed to be issued under the Plan as “incentive stock options” was 3,500,000 shares.
The Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe the terms and conditions of the options to be granted under the Plan, which terms and conditions need not be the same in each case, subject to the following:
a.
|
Option Price. The price at which each share of common stock covered by an option granted under the Plan may not be less than the market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant of the option. The date of the grant of an option shall be the date specified by the Committee in its grant of the option, which date will normally be the date the Committee determines to make such grant.
|
b.
|
Option Period. The period for exercise of an option shall in no event be more than five years from the date of grant. Options may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made exercisable in installments during the option period.
|
c.
|
Exercise of Options. For the purpose of assisting an Optionee to exercise an option, the Company may make loans to the Optionee or guarantee loans made by third parties to the Optionee, on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may authorize.
|
d.
|
Lock-Up Period. Without the consent of the Company, an Optionee may not sell more than fifty percent of the shares issued under the Plan for a period of two years from the date that the Optionee exercises the option. The Committee may also impose other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, on the grant or exercise of options, as it deems advisable.
|
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. The Company has assumed that the life of the options will be equal to one-half of the combined vesting period and contractual life (i.e., that employees will exercise the options at the midpoint between the vesting and expiry date of the options). The risk-free rates used to value the options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
At September 30, 2011, options to purchase 360,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. These options vest ratably in annual installments, over the four year period from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2011, there was $15,216 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.04 years. The cost recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $6,169 (2010: $46,200) which was recorded as general and administrative expenses.
A summary of option activity under the Plan during the period ended September 30, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is presented below:

As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options outstanding and expected to vest was $0 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options was $0. The intrinsic value of each option is the difference between the fair market value of the common stock and the exercise price of such option to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $0.05 closing stock price of the common stock on September 30, 2011, the last trading day of the second quarter of fiscal 2010. There were no in-the-money options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2011.
Since there were no options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2010 or the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there was no intrinsic value of options exercised.
The total fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0 (none were granted in 2011 and 2010).

Warrants
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants issued to non-employees, based on the market price of our common stock at the time the warrants are issued. All outstanding warrants may be exercised by the holder at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in connection with financing, the Company issued warrants to purchase 648,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants of $13,506 was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.17% to 1.78%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 140%, exercise prices of $0.02 to $0.03 and the life of the warrants 4 years. As a result of the sale of Cancable, total issued warrants to purchase 15,444,983 shares (including the 648,000 warrants mentioned above) of common stock were cancelled. Total outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2011 were 200,000 issued to a non-employee for consulting service with the expiry date of December 31, 2014.

|
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed therein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to the need for additional funds, the rapid growth of our operations and our ability to operate profitably a number of new projects. Except as required by law, we do not intend to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.
Overview and Recent Developments
On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Cancable Holding Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Cancable”) and Cancable and Dependable Hometech, LLC (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold its equity interest in Cancable to Purchaser for a consideration of US$1.00 on such date. In connection with such sale, the Company assigned certain of its liabilities and obligations to Cancable, including (i) a secured term note of the Company dated February 13, 2006, for an original principal amount of US$8.25 million, which is currently held by Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (“VUS”), Valens Offshore SPV I, Ltd. and PSource Structured Debt Limited (“PSource”), (ii) a secured term note of the Company dated June 24, 2008, for an original principal amount of US$800,000, which is currently held by VUS, and (iii) a secured term note of the Company dated June 24, 2008, for an original principal amount of US$1,700,000. which is currently held by Valens Offshore SPV II, Corp. (such holders of the term notes listed in clauses (i) to (iii), collectively, the “Holders”, and such term notes, collectively, the “Notes”). The aggregate outstanding amount owed under the Notes (including accrued and unpaid interest) was approximately US$9,800,000 as of September 16, 2011. The Holders also (a) terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interest and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to approximately US$1,500,000 of indebtedness owed to the Holders by certain other subsidiaries of the Company, (b) cancelled their warrants and options to purchase approximately 15,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, as well as the stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and (c) terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interest and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to approximately US$5,100,000 of indebtedness owed to the Holders by Cancable and its subsidiaries.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2011
to Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2010
For purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, we compared the three month period ended September 30, 2011 to the comparable period in 2010.
Sales
: Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased 16.6% to $1,471,300 from $1,763,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decline in contract revenue to $1,136,400 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 from $1,471,700 for the corresponding period in 2010. The decline in contract revenue primarily resulted from less contracts being completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and less contracts were received during this quarter. The service revenue was $334,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $291,400 for same period in 2010.
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization)
: Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $734,000 or 49.9% of revenues compared to $1,175,000 or 66.7% of revenues for same period in 2010. The material cost was $436,200 or 29.7% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $794,600 or 45.1% of revenues in the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in percentage of material costs was primarily a result of certain contracts having lesser material needs. Labor and subcontractor cost decreased to $285,000 or 19.3% of the revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $344,900 or 19.6% of revenues for the corresponding period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in labor and subcontractor cost resulted primarily due to the decrease in revenues.
Project expenses
: Project expenses increased to $292,100 or 19.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $235,500 or 13.4% for the same period in 2010. The balance mainly includes the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to $185,500 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $153,700 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in balance was mainly due to the increase in headcount. In addition, automobile and travel expenses increased to $78,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $57,300 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase in gas prices.
Selling expenses
: Selling expenses were $226,100 or 15.4% of revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $231,300 or 13.1% of revenues for the same period in 2010. The balance for the three months ended September 30, 2011 is mainly comprised of salaries and commission to salespersons of $170,470 compared to $168,800 for the same period of fiscal 2010. Advertising and promotion and trade show expenses were $35,000 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $39,900 for the same period of fiscal 2010.
General and administrative expenses
: General and administrative expenses were $737,700 or 50.1% of revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $230,900 or 13.1% for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 these costs were mainly comprised of $187,300 of professional fees related to preparation of quarterly reports and other corporate and legal matters, compared to $105,000 for the same period in 2010. Total salaries and benefits to administrative staff were $104,400 for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $90,100 for the corresponding period of 2010. Additionally, the balance also included unrealized exchange losses related to translation of intercompany balances in the amount of $144,400 for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to unrealized exchange gain of $60,800 for the same period of fiscal 2010. Total expenses for research and development were $46,500 for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to net benefit of $201,500 for the corresponding period of 2010 as we have received the government credit in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The government credit for 2011 was received in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Depreciation
: Total depreciation of property, plant and equipment was $12,900 for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $20,400 for the same period in 2010.
Amortization of intangible assets
: Amortization of customer relationships and trade name was zero for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $50,000 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the trade name, which was acquired in 2006, being fully amortized.
Interest and other expenses (income)
: Interest and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $242,800 or 16.5% of revenues compared to $162,200 or 9.2% of revenues for the same period in 2010. The balance for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily comprised of net financing expenses of $120,900 or 8.2% of revenues compared to $191,400 or 10.8% of revenues for the same period of 2010. The interest due with respect to the Company’s credit facilities was $107,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $160,300 for the same period in 2010. The decrease in balance was mainly due to the decrease of term loans in the amount of $7,287,500 after the sale of Cancable in September 2011. Additionally, the foreign currency translation loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $121,900 compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $35,700 for the same period of 2010. The change was related to the foreign currency translation of term notes which resulted from the Canadian dollar trading lower than the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.
Income taxes
: No income taxes were paid and/or owed during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, which was mainly due to the Company’s losses carried forward to offset all income generated by the Company. Because of this and because we have fully reserved our deferred income tax assets, there was no provision and/or benefits for income taxes.
Loss from operations
: Loss from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $531,600 compared to $179,600 the same period in 2010. The increase in loss from operations was attributable to the decline in revenue and also increases in general and administration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Loss from continuing operations
: Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $774,400 compared to $341,800 the same period in 2010. Loss from continuing operations for three months ended September 30, 2011 was higher which was mainly due to the increase in operating losses.
Net Income
: Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $11,646,500 compared to a net income of $633,344 for the same period in 2010. The net income for the three months ended September 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $247,800 and gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $12,173,000. The Company’s operating loss was $531,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $179,600 for the corresponding period of 2010. The year-over-year increase in net income was primilary due to the sale of Cancable Group.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011
to Period Ended September 30, 2010
For purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations”, we compared the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to the corresponding period in 2010.
Sales
: Sales for the nine month period ended 2011 increased 10.0% to $5,917,800 from $5,378,000 for the nine month period ended 2010. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in contract revenue for the nine month period ended 2011 to $4,858,0000 compared to $4,248,500 for same period in 2010. The increase in contract revenue was primarily due to more contracts being received in the first nine months compared to the same period in 2010. The service revenue was $1,058,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1,126,500 for same period in 2010.
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization)
: Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $3,076,500 or 52.0% of revenues compared to $3,001,600 or 55.8% of revenues for same period in 2010. The material cost was $2,019,400 or 34.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,739,300 or 32.3% of revenues in the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in percentage of material costs was primarily a result of some contracts requiring more material. On the other hand, labor and subcontractor cost decreased to $1,004,000 or 17.0% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,177,400 or 21.9% of revenues for the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease in labor and subcontractor cost was mainly due to some contracts requiring less labor hours.
Project expenses
: Project expenses increased to $879,200 or 14.9% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $699,400 or 13.0% of revenue for the same period in 2010. The balance mainly includes the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to $532,400 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $460,200 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to the increase in headcount. Automobile and travel expenses increased to $228,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $176,200 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase in automobile and travel expenses was due to the increase in gas prices and travel by the staff.
Selling expenses
: Selling expenses were $722,400 or 12.2% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $701,500 or 13.0% of revenues for the same period in 2010. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is mainly comprised of salaries and commissions to salespersons of $564,500 compared to $488,300 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increase in commission expenses as a result of increased revenues. Advertising, promotion and trade show expenses were $93,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $136,100 for the same period of fiscal 2010.
General and administrative expenses
: General and administrative expenses were $1,610,700 or 27.2% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,336,900 or 24.9% for the same period in 2010. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was mainly comprised of $447,000 of professional fees related to preparation of quarterly reports and other corporate matters compared to $190,800 for the same period in 2010. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to the increase in legal cost for corporate matters and the sale of Cancable. Total salaries and benefits to administrative staff increased to $291,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $274,200 for the corresponding period of 2010. Total expenses for research and development were $167,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $79,500 for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase in expenses was mainly due to the Company receiving a higher government credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 than the government credit received in 2011.
Depreciation
: Total depreciation of property plant and equipment was $54,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $61,600 for the same period in 2010.
Amortization of intangible assets
: Amortization of customer relationships and trade name was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $150,000 for the same period of fiscal 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the trade name acquired in 2006 being fully amortized.
Interest and other expenses (income)
: Interest and net other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $559,400 or 9.4% of revenues compared to $587,800 or 10.9% of revenues for the same period in 2010. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily comprised of net financing expenses which decreased to $473,600 or 8.0% of revenues compared to $591,400 or 11.0% of revenues for the same period of 2010. The interest due with respect to the Company’s credit facilities was $419,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $466,700 for the same period in 2010. The decrease in balance was mainly due to the decrease of term loans in the amount of $7,287,500 after the sale of Cancable in September 2011. Additionally, the foreign currency translation loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $83,600 compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $23,100 for the same period of 2010. The change was related to the foreign currency translation of term notes which resulted from the Canadian dollar trading lower than the U.S. dollar at September 30, 2011 as compared to the reverse situation at September 30, 2010.
Income taxes
: No income taxes were paid and/or owed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, which was mainly due to the Company’s losses carried forward to offset all income generated by the Company. Because of this and because we have fully reserved our deferred income tax assets, there was no provision and/or benefits for income taxes.
Loss from operations
: Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $425,000 compared to $573,000 the same period in 2010. The year-over-year decrease in loss from operations was primilary due to the increase in revenue and decrease in cost of sales. The improvement was offset with the increase in general and administration expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Loss from continuing operations
: Loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $984,300 compared to $1,160,800 the same period in 2010. Loss from continuing operations for nine months ended September 30, 2011 was lower which was mainly due to the decrease in operating losses and net financing expenses.
Net Income/Loss
: Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $11,640,200 compared to a net loss of $433,400 for the same period in 2010. The net income for the nine months ended September 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $451,500 and gain on disposal of discontinued operations of $12,173,000. The Company’s operating loss was $425,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to an operating loss of $573,100 for the same period of 2010. The year-over-year increase in net income was primarily due to the sale of Cancable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our operations through bank debt, loans and equity from our principals, loans from third parties and funds generated by our business. At September 30, 2011, we had $1,190,904 in cash. We have an accumulated deficit of $21,998,750, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,373,291 and a working capital deficit of $416,515 at September 30, 2011, and at such date we have current maturities of term loans aggregating $1,548,207. We believe that cash from operations and our credit facilities with Laurus will continue to be adequate to satisfy our ongoing working capital needs as we do not expect Laurus to demand acceleration of the loans extended to the Company. As a result of the sale of Cancable Group, Laurus also terminated and cancelled all guarantees, security interest and other obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries related to approximately US$1,548,207 of indebtedness owed to Laurus by certain other subsidiaries of the Company. During Fiscal Year 2011, our primary objectives in managing liquidity and cash flows are to ensure financial flexibility to support growth and entry into new markets and improve inventory management and to accelerate the collection of accounts receivable.
In addition, we have increased our rates for services provided by AC Technical to improve gross margins. This is in line with our competitors. Finally, we expect to realize additional benefits of our research and development efforts within the next 12 months as we start to introduce our own line of customized products to the industry in Iview DSI. These products and technologies are expected to improve gross margins. We plan to seek additional capital in the future to fund operations, growth and expansion through additional equity, debt financing or credit facilities. We have had early stage discussions with investors about potential investment in our company at a future date however no assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available that it would be on terms acceptable to us.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
. Net cash used by operating activities amounted to $295,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13,400 for the corresponding period of 2010. The changes were primarily a result of a decrease in net loss from continuing operations as well as factors discussed below.

Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable decreased to $996,700 as at September 30, 2011 compared to $1,129,900 as at December 31, 2010. The fluctuation in balance was mainly due to the decrease in revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Inventory
Inventory at September 30, 2011 was $387,300 compared to $477,000 as at December 31, 2010. The decrease in balance was mainly due to the decrease in contract revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Accounts payable decreased to approximately $1,582,900 as at September 30, 2011 from $1,748,600 as at December 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly due to fluctuations in the timing of payments to our suppliers.
Deferred Income

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates: accounts receivable allowances, contract revenues, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation and financial instruments. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

However, forward-looking statements in this document are based on management’s current views and assumptions and may be influenced by factors that could cause actual results, performance or events to be materially different from those projected. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Important factors, some of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include impact of general economic conditions in North America, changes in laws and regulations, fluctuation in interest rates and access to capital markets.
Our actual results or performance could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, we cannot predict whether any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition.
