TECHNOLOGY
This is a complete list of patents owned by Xxx. Xxxx Xxxx and or QMAN.
Patent numbers for gas, fire and earthquake detection:
Patent Canadian - 2170561
US - 08-811059
European - 97913052.3
Canadian patent for excess gas flow, earthquake, gas and smoke detection and shut off valve – 2308938
Gas - There are four gas product models available. Here is a brief description of one of them:
The 2000 Series Gas and Carbon Monoxide detector sends out a wireless RF signal to the valve if an alarm occurs. This signal format for the wireless valve is standardized with the Gas Guardian™ Gas Leak Protection System, which means that any sensor that works with the Gas Guardian™ Gas Leak Protection System is fully compatible with this wireless valve and can be easily added to the system. The wireless valve is powered by an internal battery which will last more than 5-years under normal operating conditions.
Seismic - There are three seismic products available. Here is brief description of one of them:
QMI reduces the concern with the RF Quake™ wireless system, designed to shut-off your gas in the event of an earthquake. Linked to a wireless gas valve, your gas system is automatically turned off when a dangerous earthquake is detected.
The RF Quake™ system is a very low powered device, powered by a 9-volt wall adapter with internal battery backup, which insures that the RF Quake™ will remain on guard of you even if the power goes off. When a dangerous earthquake is detected, the RF Quake™ sends a wireless RF signal to the valve, causing it to shutoff, preventing potential fires or explosions that could result from burst or damaged gas lines in the building. This signal format for the wireless valve is standardized with the Gas Guardian™ Gas Leak Protection System, which means that any sensor that works with the Gas Guardian™ Gas Leak Protection System is fully compatible with this wireless valve and can be easily added to the system. The wireless valve is powered by an internal battery which will last more than 5-years under normal operating conditions.

Exhibit 4.6 – Page 60
QMI Technologies Inc
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period Ending July 31, 2010
1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
QMI Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in June 16, 2009, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company’s head office is located at 202 – 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxxxx XX. The Company reports its financial results in Canadian dollars and under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
During the month of July 2010, it entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with its parent company QMI Manufacturing Inc and issued 20,400,000 shares having a value of $5,100,000 for the assets, which it received
2. Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
(a) Basis of presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of QMI Technologies Inc. at the time of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
(b) Use of estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Canadian GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
(c) Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue from equipment sales, and it is expected, technical support contracts. Revenue is only recognized when the product is shipped or when the service is complete, and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for estimated losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which the losses are determined.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers short term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Bank borrowings are considered to be financing activities.
Exhibit 4.6 – Page 61
QMI Technologies Inc
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period Ending July 31, 2010
(e) Inventory
Parts and work in progress inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value following the specific item method.
(f) Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the term of the useful lives, as follows:
Computer and other equipment 3 years
(g) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the term of the useful lives, as follows:
Patents 7 years, Customer Contracts 1 to 3 years
Trade and Certification Marks 10 years, Customer Relationship 5 years
Technical Drawings, Trade Secrets 5 years
Proprietary software 5 years Employment Contracts 3 years
Other assets 5 years
(h) Goodwill
Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the sum of the amounts allocated to the assets acquired based on their fair values. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually. Goodwill impairment is assessed based on comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to the underlying carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill.
When the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any permanent impairment is written off against earnings in the year that such a loss becomes evident.
No good will was generated during the recent Asset Purchase Agreement between QMI Manufacturing Inc. and QMI Technologies Inc.
(i) Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include equipment, patents, trademarks, licenses, customer contracts, customer relationship, and technical drawings, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate in management’s judgement, that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. When such a determination is made, recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in management’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows used to determine recoverability of an asset and the estimate of an asset’s future value used to calculate the amount of any impairment.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated Financial Statements
(j) Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures related to specific products or processes that are proven to be technically and economically feasible are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the product or process. Government assistance received in the form of grants for research and development activities are applied as a reduction of the cost of the related property and equipment or as a reduction of the applicable research and development expenses when there is reasonable assurance of their ultimate realization.
No research or development costs were transferred during the recent Asset Purchase Agreement between QMI Manufacturing Inc. and QMI Technologies Inc.
(k) Translation of foreign currencies
The Company follows the temporal method to translate foreign currency balances and transactions Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange in effect at year-end and the other items in the balance sheet and statement of operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are included in net earnings. Translation gains and losses relating to the self-sustaining operations are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the recent Asset Purchase agreement, foreign currency translation occurred between US$, UK £ and Turkish Liras with Canadian dollars, while valuing various industrial certifications.
(l) Financial Instruments
All financial assets are classified as held for trading or loans and receivables categories. Also, all financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. On initial recognition, financial instruments are measured and recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. After initial recognition, the financial instruments are
measured at amortized cost except for those held for trading which should be measured at fair value.
The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as held for trading. All other financial assets are classified as loans and receivables and are accounted for at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are classified as other liabilities and are accounted for at amortized cost. Gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents are presented in financial expenses in the consolidated earnings.
The Asset Purchase Agreement did add to the financial liabilities classification.
(m) Forward exchange contracts
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to manage portions of its currency risk exposure on an as needed basis. The Company does not account for these forward contracts using hedge accounting and forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair values are included in the financial expenses, in consolidated earnings.
The Company has not entered into any forward exchange contracts during the Asset Purchase Agreement.
(n) Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes future tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted, or substantively enacted, tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the Company expects to recover or settle those temporary differences. The Company recognizes the effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates in earnings in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. Future income tax assets are limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
The Company has not recorded any tax assets or liabilities.
(o) Per share amounts
The Company computes basic per share amounts by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company computes diluted per share amounts in the same manner as basic per share amounts, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. The Company calculates the number of additional shares by assuming exercise of outstanding stock options and use of the proceeds from such exercises plus the unamortized stock-based compensation cost to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting period. No earnings have been recorded.

(p) Stock-based compensation
The Company has no stock option
3. New accounting standards
(a) Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting standards relating to goodwill and intangible assets issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). The new section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The new section also provides guidance for the recognition of internally developed intangible assets, including assets developed from research and development activities,
ensuring consistent treatment of all intangible assets, whether separately acquired or internally developed. The adoption of these standards did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(b) Financial Instrument Disclosure
Effective for the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company adopted the amended requirements of section 3862: Financial Instrument - Disclosure, in response to amendments issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Accounting Standard Board’s (AcSB) amendments are consistent with its strategy to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and to ensure the existing disclosure requirements for financial instruments are converged to IFRSs to the extent possible. The new disclosure standards require additional disclosure of fair values based on a fair value hierarchy as well as enhanced discussion and quantitative disclosure related to liquidity risk.
4. Future accounting standards
(a) Business Combinations and Consolidated Financial Statements
The CICA issued three new accounting standards in January 2009: section 1582, “Business Combinations”, section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and section 1602, Non-controlling interests. These new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the requirements of the new standards.
Section 1582 replaces section 1581, and establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination. It provides the Canadian equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standard IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The section applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Sections 1601 and 1602 together replace 1600 – Consolidated Financial Statements.
Section 1601, establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 applies to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
Section 1602 establishes standards of accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination which is not applicable to the Company. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and applies to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
5. Business combination
On July 28, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of QMI Technologies Inc. (“Q - Tech”). The acquisition was settled for a total of 20,400,000 common shares. Q-Tech is a specialist in seismic detection and applied technologies such as sonic warning, and emergency gas and water shut off. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting with the purchase consideration allocated as follows:

12. Income taxes

13. Capital management
The Company’s objectives in terms of capital management are to maintain a sound financial position and to ensure financial flexibility in order to maintain its capacity for growth. The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors both the demographic spread of shareholders, as well as the return on capital.
The Company’s capital is composed of its shareholders’ equity and its primary uses are to finance acquisitions, increases in non-cash working capital and capital expenditures for capacity expansion and research and development. The Company believes that current cash balances and future funds generated through its operations will be sufficient to meet cash requirements currently and for the foreseeable future. If the Company were to experience a significant reduction in its cash flows from operations, it currently has a variety of options for raising capital for short-term cash needs, including the issuance of a private placement.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended July 31, 2010.
14. Financial instruments and risk management
Financial instruments
The Company has designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.
Risk Management
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below: This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to particular risks and the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing those risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.
The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Company’s Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, where available, and in some cases bank references. The demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk.
Approximately 90% percent of the Company’s revenue in the year is attributable to sales transactions with a single customer. In addition the Company has three other major customers The Company does not require collateral from its customers, in respect of trade and other receivables.
At July 31, 2010, there were no past due receivables, in excess of 90 days. The Company has not as yet established an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from customers other than as noted above.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of $00.00 to settle current liabilities of $.4,000.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risk.
Interest rate risk
The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in deposits at credit worthy banking institutions..
Currency risk
The consolidated Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases and sales are transacted in Canadian dollars, US dollars and Chinese RMB. The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company’s foreign and domestic operations.
15. Commitments
There are no current commitments
16. Segmented information
At the present time the Company does not segment revenue.
17. Related party transactions
The Company currently has no related party transactions
18. Subsequent Events
At the present date there are no subsequent events to report.
