      5.   Convertible Debentures (cont'd)

      The remaining principalamount is convertible following 360 days after
      the initial closing.  During the fiscal year endedMarch 31, 2000, the

      shares ( see Note 10(b)(x)) and a three-year 12% convertible

      6.   Loans from Related Parties

      The loans from related parties are non-interest bearing, due on demand
      and were advancedto the Company in order to assist in certain working
      capital requirements.

      7. Contingent Liabilities

                  (a)  The Company has been served with a claim, with
respect to
      a
      breach of contract regarding the Company's rights under two specific
       joint venture and development agreements to use and distribute
various
       iterations of software components allegedly the sole property of the
      claimant.  The action claims damages for breach of contract along with
      copyright and trademark infringement.  The claim seeks a total of
      $15.85million in damages and is in progress in the Province of
Ontario.
      Management considersthat the prospects of a successful resolution are
      likely.

      Several other claims against the Company are in various stages of
      litigation.  Inmanagement's opinion, these claims are not material and
      accordingly no provision hasbeen made in the consolidated financial
      statements.

      Loss, if any, on the above claims will be recorded when settlement is
      probable and the amount of the settlement is estimable.

                 (b)  The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Indo WideCom
      International Ltd., in India, hasnot met export obligations for the
       fiscal year which may result in additional customs dutylevied by the
      authorities in India.  As at year end, this amount was not
determinable.

      8.   Investment in AffiliateSeptember 30,
      20002001

      3294340 Canada Inc.174066Nil

      In October 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement
      which resulted in the purchase of a 45% stake in 3294340 Canada Inc.,
      a Quebec based company, for approx. $1,875,000.  The investee carries
      on research and development activities in orderto develop
improvements,
      modifications, additions or alteration to the intellectualproperty and
      to develop new products. In connection with the transaction, the
Company
      Montreal ("Innovatech"), an economic development agency of the
      government of the Province of Quebec, pursuant to which Innovatech
      would be permitted, under certaincircumstances, to exchange its 45% I
      nterest for up to 63,250* common shares of the Company.

      During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000,  Innovatech had made a
      request to convert 80% of its shares in 329430 Canada Inc. into the
      Company's common stock.

      During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, the Company issued 50,600
      shares to Innovatech.As a result of another transaction with M.S.
Judge
      Systems, and with the other shareholders of329430 Canada Inc., the
      Company had no further stake in the affiliate.

      At the end of September 2001, the asset value of the Company's
      investment in its affiliate became nil, and the Company divested
itself
       of its stake in 329430 Canada Inc.

      Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

            Since inception, we have generated limited revenues from
operations
      and have not yet achieved significant profitability. Our revenues are
      primarily derived from product sales that are recognized for
accounting
      purposes when products are shipped.  We have limited revenue from
      operations, significant losses and have a significant deficit.  Due to
      limited cash resources, we have often relied on cash infusions from
      management to meet ongoing obligations.  There is no certainly that
such
      access to funds will be available to us in the future.  In order to
reduce
      our losses, we have significantly reduced Selling, General and
      Administrative costs.  We expect this to have a reduction on sales.

      Page 9

            While we received government grants in the past, we do not meet
the
      required pre-qualification for such grants subsequent to conducting
its
      public offering. In consideration of this fact, we shifted our
research
and
      development to an affiliated joint venture based in Montreal, Canada.

            In February 2000, we established a majority-owned subsidiary,
      Posternetwork.COM Inc., to engage in the business line of offering an
      online printing service. Posternetwork is currently engaged in
      organizational and financing activities.

      Results of Operations
      Quarter Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Quarter Ended September
30,
      2000

         Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $147,879, a
      decrease of
      $233,493 as compared to $381,372 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000.
       Net
      Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $111,799, a
      decrease of
      $186,142 as compared to $297,941 for the quarter ended September 30,
2000.
      The
      decline in revenue was attributed to a decrease in sales and
promotional
      efforts in order to conserve cash.

            Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 were
      $257,004
      a decrease of $95,695,  as compared to $352,699 for the quarter
      ended September 30, 2000.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses
      for the
      quarter ended September 30, 2001 were $121,106, decreased by $73.028,
      versus the same period in the previous fiscal year. This reduction in
      selling, general and administrative expenses is a result of our
efforts to
      preserve our cash resources. Reserch and development cost has been
      incresed
      to the tune of $62,050 compared to the previous fiscal period of
      comparison is
      due to the new reserch activities carring on for improvement of
product
      quality .
      Management fees and salaries are reduced by 77% due to voluntary
reduction

      of remunaration to President and Vice President

            Our share of the loss incurred by the research and development
      consortium (3294340 Canada Inc.) that had been formed on the second of
      October 1996, for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, amounted to
      $84,650 as
      compared to $78,227 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The
      accumulated
       loss from above investment has crossed the total investment in
3294340 .

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

            Our primary cash requirements have been to fund research and
      development activities, acquisition of equipment and inventories and
to
      meeting operations expenses incurred in connection with the
      commercialization of our products. We meet our working capital
requirements
      principally through the issuance of debt and equity securities,
government
      sponsored research and development grants and reimbursement and cash
flow
      from operations.

            Our cash requirements in connection with manufacturing and
marketing
      will continue to be significant. We do not have any material
commitments

      Page 10

      for capital expenditures. We believe, based on our current plans and
      assumptions relating to our operations, projected cash flow from
operations
      may not be sufficient to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements
for
the
      foreseeable future. We have relied on investments from management to
cover
      our short falls in the last fiscal year, such investment may not be
      available to us in the future.  In the event that our plans or
assumptions
      change, or prove to be incorrect, or if the projected cash flows
otherwise
      prove to be insufficient to fund operations (due to unanticipated
expenses,
      delays, problems or otherwise), we could be required to seek
additional
      financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance
that
      this additional financing will be available to us when needed, on
      commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

      Nasdaq

            The Company's Common Stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Small
Cap
      Market effective the close of business April 10, 2001 for failure to
meet
      certain minimum net tangible asset requirements.  The stock continues
to
      trade on the OTC Bulletin Board.
