                  To Purchase 25,000 Shares of Common Stock of

                           API ELECTRONICS GROUP INC.

          THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Kostas Papakostas (the
"Holder"), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on
exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
           , 2003 (the "Initial Exercise Date") and on or prior to the close of
-----------

Date (the "Termination Date") but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase
from API Electronics Group Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of

Shares"), no par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The
purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price") under this
Warrant shall be US$0.60. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares
for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided
herein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in that certain Subscription Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated Jan. 27th , 2003, between the Company and the Holder.

<PAGE>

1. Title to Warrant. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance
with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person
or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the
Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.

2. Authorization of Shares. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which
may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant,
be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes
in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

3. Exercise of Warrant.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 4 herein, exercise of the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant may be made at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by the surrender of
this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed, at
the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of
such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) and upon payment of the
Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier's
check drawn on a United States bank, or by means of a cashless exercise, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant
Shares so purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
delivered to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which
this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be
deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be
named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares
for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to
the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the
Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5 prior to the issuance of such shares, have
been paid.

     (b) If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall,
at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant
Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to
purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Shares to the extent
that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder (other than
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) plus (ii) the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, would be equal to or
exceed 4.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and
outstanding, including shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant held by
such Holder after application of this Section 3(c). As used herein, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(c) applies,
the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other
securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is
exercisable

                                       2

<PAGE>

shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice
of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether this
Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder)
and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to
such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder to exercise this
Warrant into Warrant Shares at such time as such exercise will not violate the
provisions of this Section 3(c). The provisions of this Section 3(c) may be
waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days'
prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 3(c) shall
continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the
Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). No exercise of this
Warrant in violation of this Section 3(c) but otherwise in accordance with this
Warrant shall affect the status of the Warrant Shares as validly issued,
fully-paid and nonassessable.

4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any
fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon
such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final
fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

5. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or
other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates
shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be
directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for
Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the
Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder; and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it
for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

6. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records
in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant.

7. Transfer, Division and Combination.

     (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, transfer of
this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered
on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of
this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written
assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly
executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any
transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. In the event that the
Holder wishes to transfer a portion of this Warrant, the Holder shall transfer
at least                      shares underlying this Warrant to any such
        ----------------------
transferee. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company
shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee
or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such
instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant
evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall
promptly be cancelled. A Warrant, if properly assigned,

                                       3

<PAGE>

may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without
having a new Warrant issued. Notwithstanding the above, the Holder shall not
transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder to any person or entity which is
then engaged in a business that is in the reasonable judgement of the Company is
in direct competition with the Company.

     (b) This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon
presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to
compliance with Section 7(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such
division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or
Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in
accordance with such notice.

     (c) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other
than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 7.

     (d) The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office, books for the
registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.

8. No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company
prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price or by means of a cashless exercise, the Warrant
Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the
record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date
of such surrender or payment.

9. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that
upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate
relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which shall not include the
posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or
stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant
or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of
such Warrant or stock certificate.

10. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or
such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday.

11. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares/Stock Splits,
etc. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a
dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common
Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common
Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock, then the

                                       4

<PAGE>

number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive
the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which
it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been
exercised in advance thereof. Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number
of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable
hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of
Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise
Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company
resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph
shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event
retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

12. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of
Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital
stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company
is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution
with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another
corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification,
merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of
the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by
or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to receive, at their option, (a) upon exercise
of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and
Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such event, or (b) cash equal to the value of this Warrant
as determined in accordance with the Black-Sholes option pricing formula. In
case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance
of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and
observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder,
subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in
good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to
provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 12. For purposes of this Section 12, "common stock of the
successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of
any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class
of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall
also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities
which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either
immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a
specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12 shall

                                       5

<PAGE>

similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers,
consolidations or disposition of assets.

13. Voluntary Adjustment by the Company. The Company may at any time during the
term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and
for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

14. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or
kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant or the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
promptly mail by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
Holder notice of such adjustment or adjustments setting forth the number of
Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares (and other
securities or property) after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by
which such adjustment was made. Such notice, in the absence of manifest error,
shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

15. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:

     (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for
the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or
any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right, or

     (b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the
Company to, another corporation or,

     (c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to Holder (i) at
least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be
selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to
vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii)
in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20
days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such
notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date
on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and
character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any
such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to exchange their Warrant Shares for securities or other property
deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each
such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to

                                       6

<PAGE>

Holder at the last address of Holder appearing on the books of the Company and
delivered in accordance with Section 17(d).

16. Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant
is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares
upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further
covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to
its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all
such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares
may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the principal market upon which the Common
Stock may be listed.

     The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation,
amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder
against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in
par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary
to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

     Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number
of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise
Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof,
or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or
bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

17. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall constitute a contract under the laws
of Ontario, without regard to its conflict of law, principles or rules, and be
subject to arbitration pursuant to the terms set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.

     (b) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired
upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions
upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

     (c) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to
exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of
such right or otherwise prejudice Holder's rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding all rights hereunder terminate on

                                       7

<PAGE>

the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply
with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the
Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys' fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in
collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its
rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

     (d) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to
be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in
accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

     (e) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability
of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.

     (f) Remedies. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific

damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the
defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors
and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to
