LOREX TECHNOLOGY INC. 3

The Company in the latter part of 2006 committed to anextensive restructuring plan that included sku and productrationalization, closure of its Chinese joint venture,reducing its presence in Hong Kong, consolidating itsbrand names from four to one and offering severancepackages in order to reduce its overhead costs.

Our LOREX division will continue its efforts to capitalizeon the hard work and benefit from the opportunities ofits restructuring plan. The product lines for 2007 havebeen identified, new designs are in place, new vendors aremanufacturing product and the company is entertainingnew avenues to sell its product. We continue to pursueopportunities that enhance our position in the industry,enabling us to leverage our sales, marketing andoperational potential.

Our Digimerge professional division has been bolstered by hiring senior operational personnel, allowing for theimplementation of changes to accommodate present and future growth. To that end, we are in the process ofdelivering increased efficiencies from our operations, todrive and improve margins and customer support. We are also expanding our product assortment to allow ourmarketing and sales group to offer a greater range ofchoice to our distribution network.

The security industry is growing worldwide, and theoperating demographics of the marketplace have changeddramatically in recent years. The global security industryis in the middle of a technology shift from anolog-basedvideo systems to digital or a hybrid of both. The combinationof these factors has presented the Company with significantopportunities. We will spend considerable time and effortin fiscal 2007 in these areas and will be seeking productpartners to leverage our revenue growth.

The integration of our new executive staff and supportpersonnel is almost complete. Cost efficiency and excellentcustomer service remain our goals, and we are confidentthat we have the right people and strategies in place tocontinue our long record of growth, enabling LOREX toonce again deliver solid results.

Our Board of Directors, the executive management team andLOREX employees remain dedicated to LOREX’s success.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend sincere thanksto all members of the LOREX team and I look forward tocontinued growth for LOREX and all stockholders.

BUSINESS & FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS

During the past year, the following significant developments impacted the Company’s operations and financial results:

• The Company changed its name to LOREX Technology Inc. in the second quarter of 2006 to take advantage of the name recognitionpreviously established by LOREX.

• Henry Schnurbach was appointed CEO in the third quarter, replacing Chairman and CEO Bernie Klein due to illness, with a mandateto enhance relationships with customers and suppliers, improve operational effectiveness and return the Company to profitability.

• The Company restructured its operations in recognition of the need to focus on more profitable core operations and to improve the procurement, purchasing and inventory management processes. Highlights of these efforts include restructuring LOREX’sexecutive group, closing its manufacturing venture in Hong Kong and making changes to several key staff in the organization.

• In the third and fourth quarters, Management conducted a thorough assessment of inventory and concluded that given theCompany’s plans to discontinue certain product lines, the anticipated changes in product mix and changing dynamics of theindustry, certain inventory skus required markdowns to reduce cost to its net realizable value.

• In the fourth quarter the Company introduced a new line-up of high-performance digital video recorders with broad feature sets and enhanced storage capacities under the Digimerge brand.

• At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company terminated its contract with Sylvania. The contract previously allowed LOREX to sellproducts under the Sylvania brand. Termination of this contract is consistent with the Company’s efforts to focus its retail businessusing the LOREX brand. All expenses related to royalty payments and termination of the contract have been included in the 2006results.

• Following a detailed assessment of the Company’s warranty service cost, Management determined that certain of the Company’srepair service arrangements with its suppliers required an increase in its repair costs for the year. The Company is currently increasing its quality control review of products prior to acceptance from suppliers in an effort to reduce repair costs in the future.

SUMMARY OF KEY INDICATORS

The Company’s revenue for fiscal 2006 was $44.7 million as compared to $43.0 million in fiscal 2005. The sales increases were attributableto the growth of the Digimerge professional product line and direct Internet sales activities. This increase was partially offset by the lossof a large club customer in the third quarter. International sales were affected by a change in Management early in 2006 and subsequentlack of local leadership. In 2007, the LOREX sales team plans to broaden its customer base to reduce customer concentration andincrease revenue through the addition of new products. In order to support expansion plans and realize LOREX’s full potential in theinternational marketplace in 2007, Management has contracted with a European sales and logistics partner.

During 2006, given changes in product mix, discontinuation of certain product lines and changing dynamics in the industry, the Companymade provisions to inventory value to reflect Management’s best estimates of the realizable value of its inventory. As a result of theincreased provision allowance, gross profit was 32.9% as compared to 35.1% in fiscal 2005. Management has made adjustments to itsproduct development, purchasing and sales processes to increase inventory turns and reduce the risk of obsolescence.

In 2006, the Company experienced a net loss from continuing operations of $(4.2) million as compared to net income from continuingoperations of $1.6 million in fiscal 2005. The net loss in 2006 resulted from the decreased margin discussed above and an increase in fixedcosts to $18 million from $13 million in fiscal 2005. The increase in fixed expenses was partially a result of higher freight, warehousing and repair costs in 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005. Management has focused on improving the quality of product procured by workingwith existing suppliers and developing relationships with new suppliers that meet stringent manufacturing and quality control practices.In 2006, Management has further made efforts to provide technology and installation assistance to end customers in order to simplifyinstallation to reduce product returns. In addition to the increased expenses listed above, increases were due to the development of a fixedcost infrastructure to support prior Management’s anticipation of higher revenues in 2006. In order to manage costs effectively in relation to revenue expectations, Management made changes to staffing in the third quarter, which resulted in restructuring costs of $495,000.

In addition, given the cumulative loss position of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, Management recorded a provision of $2.3 millionin the third and fourth quarters against certain of the Company’s future tax assets as the asset no longer met the accounting criteria ofbeing more likely than not to be recognized. The Company continues to carry forward tax losses in excess of two million dollars, the taxbenefit of which has not been realized.

The Company projects increased revenues in 2007 by expanding its LOREX customer base and increasing and altering its assortment of products at the retail and professional level. In addition, Management expects to introduce several new products to change both itsproduct and sales mix. The Company will introduce inventory management programs to attain higher gross margin dollars. Theinventory management programs should lower obsolescence cost and reduce carrying costs and warehouse expense. Expenses in 2007are projected to be in line with 2006 with the exception of certain variable components related to the direct cost of sales.

Further explanation of changes in revenue, gross margins and expenses are provided below in the comments on Consolidated Resultsof Operations.

2006 compared to 2005Revenue increased in 2006 compared to 2005 as a result of increased sales of digital-based products including digital video recorders andexpansion of sales through the Internet. The Company expects to continue to expand its customer base in fiscal 2007 and increase salesto key customers by extending its assortment of surveillance equipment and enhancing the product mix. Management projects salesgrowth in excess of 10% in fiscal 2007.

Sales of the Company’s professional products under the Digimerge brand to security distributors in the commercial market increased to$6.8 million in fiscal 2006 from $5.1 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of 34%. Management projects sales of Digimerge products tocontinue to experience double-digit growth in 2007 as a result of the continuing introduction of several next-generation digital videorecorders and observation cameras.

2005 compared to 2004Revenue increased in 2005 compared to 2004 as the result of the Company adding several new customers and introducing a number ofnew digital-based products, including IP (Internet protocol) based observations systems and IP cameras and new lines of digital videorecorders. The Company experienced revenue growth of 79% in fiscal 2005 compared to 2004. The addition of a major warehouse clubduring the third quarter had a significant impact on the Company’s revenue in the second half of the year.

Sales of the Company’s professional products under the Digimerge brand to security distributors in the commercial market increased to approximately $5.1 million in fiscal 2005 from $2.3 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of 122%. This increase in revenue resulted from the addition of several new customers in the United States and the commencement of shipping of Digimerge products to a majorcustomer in Europe.

Gross ProfitYear ended September 30

2006 2005 2004

Gross profit 32.9% 35.1% 34.8%

Cost of sales includes the cost of manufactured products based on FOB factory prices, freight, duty and provisions to record inventory to its net realizable value.

The Company outsources its manufacturing to third parties in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China.

Gross margins in 2006 were lower than 2005 as the result of the inventory write-downs recorded as a result of plans to discontinuecertain product lines, anticipated changes in product mix and the changing dynamics of the industry. The Company anticipates anincrease in gross margin in 2007 as a result of change in customer and product mix. Management recognizes the risk that this increase in gross profit may be negatively affected by older inventory being sold at lower margins.

Gross margins in 2005 were lower than 2004 as the result of increased international sales that are completed at lower overall grossmargins. The Company negotiates lower prices on these international sales as it does not incur costs similar to those for sales in North America. In addition, the Company recorded higher amounts for product rationalization expenses in 2005 as a result intransitioning certain products from analog to digital.

Marketing and Selling ExpensesYear ended September 30

($000) 2006 2005 2004

Marketing and selling expense 11,238 7,798 5,349

As a percentage of sales 25.1% 18.2% 22.3%

The principal components of marketing and selling expenses are freight and distribution costs associated with product shipments,warranty/repair service costs and salary and commission expenses for both internal and external sales and support personnel. Othercosts include sales display and detailing costs to ensure the Company’s products are displayed to LOREX’s sales standards.

The increase in marketing and selling expenses in 2006 compared to 2005 resulted primarily from an increase in warranty/repair servicecosts as compared to prior periods. Management expects that the return rates in most products should decrease due to changes inproduct development and quality assurance programs. In addition, prior Management’s expectation of increased volume did notmaterialize and therefore the revenue base was not realized.

The increase in marketing and selling expenses in 2005 compared to 2004 resulted primarily from higher freight costs and salescommissions related to increased sales. Also, the addition of a major warehouse club customer in the third quarter resulted in increasedsales display and detailing expenses.

For fiscal 2007, the Company expects to maintain its marketing and selling expense structure in anticipation of increased revenue.

Administration expenses 3,185 2,457 2,351

As a percentage of sales 7.1% 5.7% 9.8%

The main components of administrative expenses are wages and benefits, professional fees, general and office expenses and costsassociated with the public company reporting requirements.

The increase in 2006 is due in part to an overlap in executive salaries for a portion of the year. In addition, the increase in administrationcost as a percentage of sales was due to the incurrence of fixed costs in anticipation of sales that did not materialize.

For fiscal 2007, the Company expects its administration expense to be similar to those of 2006.

The increase in 2005 versus 2004 was due to higher salaries, including the addition of a new President and COO hired in the second quarter.

As a percentage of sales 4.1% 4.0% 4.7%

Research and development expenses include the wages and benefits paid to individuals in the Company’s product development group,subcontractors and the amortization costs associated with capitalized tooling and product design costs.

The increase in 2006 related to new product development, the benefit of which is expected to be realized in 2007.

The Company increased its expenditures in research and development during fiscal 2005, as it continues to invest in product developmentto support future sales growth. Several new products were introduced in fiscal 2005, including the introduction of new IP-based productsand digital video recorders. In 2004, the Company introduced its Digital Video Monitoring line for Internet-based remote monitoring.

Income TaxesYear ended September 30

2006 2005 2004

Income tax rate (32.4%) 29.4% 30.9%

In fiscal 2006, a valuation allowance was provided against the benefit of certain tax loss carry-forward balances previously recordedthat no longer met the accounting criteria for recognition. As at September 30, 2006 a valuation allowance of $2.6 million has beenprovided against certain of the Company’s future income tax assets.

In 2005, the primary factor causing the income tax rate to be less than the Canadian statutory tax rate of 36.12% was the impact of the Company’s foreign operations being subject to different tax rates. This resulted in a reduction of approximately 10% fromCanadian statutory tax rates. The tax rate was increased as a result of certain permanent tax differences, primarily the non-deductibilityof stock option expenses.

In 2004, the primary factor causing the income tax rate to be less than the Canadian statutory tax rate of 36.25% was the tax impact of the non-deductible portion of the write-down of the deferred development costs and investment that reduced the rate by 4%.

Reduced sales and the resulting loss in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 2005 were primarily the result of a major club customerremoving the Company’s products from its current listings. Further to sales returns for credit, expenses were higher than average in thequarter and the company recorded non-recurring expenses relating to discontinued operations, restructuring expenses and the terminationof the Sylvania contract of approximately $380,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In 2006, cash decreased by $106,000 due to a combination of positive cash flow from operations offset by negative cash flow fromfinancing and investment activities. Cash flow from operations increased primarily due to decreased accounts receivable and inventory.Cash flow from financing activities decreased primarily as a result of decreased bank borrowings. Cash flow from investing activitiesdecreased primarily as a result of purchases of capital assets during the year.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had a Cdn. $15,000,000 credit facility for revolving credit loans that bore interest at the bank’s primerate plus 0.45% for Canadian-dollar-denominated advances and the bank’s US dollar base rate plus 0.45% for U.S.-dollar-denominatedadvances. The credit line is secured by the accounts receivable and inventory of two of the Company’s subsidiaries. At September 30, 2006,the amount of borrowings under this facility was U.S. $4,307,000 and Cdn. $2,878,000.

In addition, a separate credit facility of Cdn. $750,000 has been established for Digimerge Technologies Inc. At September 30, 2006,borrowings outstanding under this facility was U.S. $79,000 and Cdn. $106,000.

At September 30, 2006, the available credit under these facilities based on security pledged was $9,276,000, leaving an unused credit balanceof $2,050,000.

As at September 30, 2006, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity included unrestricted cash of $874,000, trade accounts receivableof $5.2 million and unutilized borrowing availability of $2.0 million under the Company’s bank credit facilities. The Company believesthat working capital requirements for expected growth may require additional financing, and the Company is actively pursuing varioussources of additional capital for this planned growth.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company was in violation of its debt to tangible net worth covenant under its $15,000,000 facility. Thebank has not waived its rights under this facility. The future ability of the Company to operate in the normal course is dependent on its current lender not demanding payment as a result of the covenant default, meeting its financial covenants in the future and obtainingadditional financing through its current or a new lender combined with other financing initiatives.

Management is in discussion with its current lenders and has requested that the covenants be amended to reflect the Company’s budgetfor fiscal 2007. Concurrently, Management believes that subordinated debt or equity financing is available and has commenced discussionswith third-party lenders/investors. Management is confident that the financing will be sufficient through 2007 to meet the Company’sfinancial requirements. Notwithstanding, there is no certainty that the current lender will amend its covenants or that other financingwill be available. The Company in its review of projections may require support for letters of credit in the second quarter to support salesgrowth. The Company’s cash flow projections indicate that the current loan facility would provide sufficient working capital throughfiscal 2007 and that if the Company’s earnings projections are realized the Company would be in compliance with the current loan facilitycovenants by the third quarter of 2007.

WORKING CAPITAL

Accounts ReceivableThe Company’s accounts receivable balance decreased from $7.8 million at September 30, 2005, to $5.2 million at September 30, 2006,due to the decrease in comparable fourth quarter revenue. Days sales outstanding were 53 days at September 30, 2006, versus 55 days atSeptember 30, 2005. The decrease in days sales outstanding was due to improved collection efforts and a change in customer mix wherecertain new customers have trade terms that promote faster payments.

InventoryThe Company’s inventory balance decreased during the year from $15.3 million at September 30, 2005, to $13.5 million at September30, 2006. The decrease was a result of markdowns taken on certain skus to reduce cost to net realizable value and as a result of the salesforce focusing on the sale of existing inventory.

Accounts Payable and Accrued LiabilitiesThe Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $482,000 from $8.8 million at September 30, 2005, to $8.3 millionat September 30, 2006.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES

Capital assets, net of accumulated amortization, decreased by $80,000 to $1.4 million at September 30, 2006. Additions to capital assetswere $691,000.

For fiscal 2007, the Company anticipates similar spending on capital asset purchases. This investment should be funded from cash flow from operations.

CAPITAL STOCK AND DIVIDENDS

As at September 30, 2006, the Company had 26,954,083 common shares outstanding. During 2006, the Company issued 317,166 commonshares as a result of the exercise of stock options realizing proceeds of $90,000. In addition, the Company issued 52,850 common sharesunder its Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company has not declared any dividends on its common shares over the past three fiscalyears and does not plan to declare or pay any dividends on its common shares in the next 12 months.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The Company has entered into operating leases for office premises and equipment. The future minimum operating lease commitmentsfor the next five years are as follows:

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 2006, the Company had an agreement in place with a video-streaming development company (Core Video Inc.) in which the Company’sformer Chief Executive Officer had a 40% equity interest. The agreement calls for equally sharing the development costs of new productsbased on Core Video’s technology and sharing the profit or paying royalties on the Company’s sales of products utilizing the technology.

Product development, design and support service fees of $378,093 were paid or accrued to Core Video Inc.

The Company shares premises with a company in which the former Chief Executive Officer has a 33% equity interest. The Company hassigned a sublease for the portion of space it occupies at a rate per square foot equal to the rate paid by the company related to the landlord.Payments made to the related company for shared resource costs were $40,000.

Related-party transactions have been recorded at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed by the related parties.

Management expects this relationship with Core Video Inc. to be reduced as future development expertise is being brought in-house.In addition, due to the change in executive officers, Core Video and the lease payments will not be considered related-party in 2007.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue for the fourth quarter decreased by $3.9 million compared to the same period last year. This decline was primarily a result of the Company not receiving orders from a major club customer in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Gross margin was 35.6% compared to 33.2% in the prior year fourth quarter. The increase was due to the change in customer and productmix that LOREX is working to maintain as the Company starts the 2007 fiscal year.

Operating expenses were $4.9 million or 60% of revenue compared to $3.2 million or 26.9% in the prior year quarter. The increase inoperating expenses resulted primarily from the increased warranty service costs accrued and the cost of the termination of the Sylvaniacontract in the fourth quarter of 2006. Management expects warranty service costs to decrease as a percentage of sales in 2007 as a result of improvements in product quality, quality control and improved efficiencies in inventory management.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada.Significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements are described in note 1 to the Company’s2006 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of the policies are more significant than others and are therefore consideredcritical accounting policies. Accounting policies are considered critical if they rely on a substantial amount of judgment in their applicationor if they result from a choice between accounting alternatives and that choice has a material impact on reported results or financialposition. The policies identified as critical to the Company are discussed below.

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to makeestimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Companyevaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis, based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Significant estimatesare used in, but not limited to, determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the provision for returns, the provision for inventoryobsolescence, the provision for warranty accrual, the income tax valuation allowances, the useful lives and valuation of intangible assetsand the fair values of reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment tests. Actual results could differ materially from thoseestimates and assumptions.

Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives its revenue from direct sales to retail customers and end-users as well as through distributors and system integrators.Customers typically issue standard purchase orders to the Company. The Company recognizes product revenue when goods are receivedby the customer as performance has occurred, all specified acceptance criteria have been met, and the earnings process is consideredcomplete. Product returns from customers are deducted from revenue along with a provision for anticipated returns pertaining to priorproduct sales. The provision for returns is based on historical results.

Inventory ValuationThe Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of itsinventory value taking into consideration factors such as inventory aging, future demand for the inventory, expected new productintroductions, competitive pressures and numerous other factors. A change to these assumptions could have an impact on the valuation of inventory and have a resulting impact on margins.

Income TaxesThe Company records a valuation against future income tax assets when Management believes it more likely than not that some portionor all of the future income tax assets will not be realized. Management considers factors such as the projected future taxable income ineach jurisdiction, the nature of income tax assets, the carry-forward periods of use and tax planning strategies. Management discretionis utilized in this determination unless accounting or tax rules prevail. A change in these factors could have an impact on the estimatedvaluation allowance and income tax expense.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Comprehensive Income:The CICA issued section 1530 of the CICA Handbook, Comprehensive Income. The section is effective for fiscal years beginning on orafter October 1, 2006. It describes how to report and disclose comprehensive income and its components.

Comprehensive income is the change in a company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sourcesother than the company’s shareholders. It includes items that would not normally be included in net earnings, such as:

• Changes in the currency translation adjustment relating to self-sustaining foreign operations;• Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments; or• Gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.

The CICA also made changes to section 3250 of the CICA Handbook, Surplus, and reissued it as section 3251, Equity. The section is alsoeffective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The changes regarding the reporting and disclosure of equity and changesin equity are consistent with the new requirements of section 1530, Comprehensive Income.

When the Company adopts these sections it will report the following additional items in the audited consolidated financial statements:

• Comprehensive income and its components; and• Accumulated other comprehensive income and its components.

The Company has not yet quantified the impact of the implementation of this new accounting pronouncement on its financial results.

RISK FACTORS

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risk factors affecting the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties notpresently known to the Company or that are currently deemed immaterial also may impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company could be materially andadversely affected.

Business RisksAlthough the market for the Company’s products appears to be expanding, its ability to remain competitive is dependent upon assessingchanging markets and providing new products and functionality. The Company believes that its future success depends upon its abilityto enhance current products and develop and introduce new product offerings with enhanced performance and functionality at competitiveprices. While there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to develop new products to meet changes in the marketplace orthat the sale of such new products will be profitable, the Company pays close attention to and anticipates changes in the market.Management also meets regularly with its customers to identify current and anticipated end-user requirements.

Supplier RisksThe Company currently purchases the majority of its products from a number of select manufacturers in the Far East in U.S. dollars.The Company depends on these sources to meet its needs and on their quality and reliability. If a supplier discontinued or restrictedsupplying a product, which the Company could not replace in a timely manner, the Company’s business may be harmed by the resultingproduct manufacturing and delivery delays. In addition, the failure of the Company’s products to perform to customer/consumerexpectations could give rise to warranty claims or returns. To minimize this production risk, the Company contracts with a number ofsources to perform its manufacturing requirements and performs quality assurance testing in the Far East and in North America.

Competitive and Industry RisksThe Company expects that additional competition may develop from existing companies in the security monitoring business and fromnew entrants as demand for similar products expands and the market for these products becomes more established. Certain of theCompany’s competitors have greater financial resources than the Company and may be able to sustain recurring losses to establish marketshare at the Company’s expense. Competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders and reduced gross margins.

There can be no assurances that the market for the Company’s existing products will continue to grow. If the markets in which theCompany’s products compete fail to grow, or grow more slowly than the Company currently anticipates, the Company’s revenue and netincome growth may be lower than expected.

Customer Concentration RisksThe Company is dependent on a few customers for the majority of its products. In the current year, two customers accounted forapproximately 40% of sales, and 10 customers accounted for approximately 78% of sales. If any significant customer discontinues itsrelationship with the Company for any reason or significantly reduces expected purchase commitments for the Company’s products,the business prospects and corresponding financial condition could be materially adversely affected. During the past year the Companyhas added to its customer base in order to reduce its customer concentration risk and plans to continue this expansion in 2007.

Page 20: CHANGE MONITORING. - LOREX TECHNOLOGY

18 LOREX TECHNOLOGY INC.

Foreign Exchange RisksThe Company generates approximately 90% of its revenues in U.S. dollars and most product purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars.As a result, beginning in fiscal 2004, the Company began to report its financial results in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to theimpact of foreign currency fluctuation of U.S. dollar transactions in the Canadian companies. Changes in the value of the Canadiandollar versus the U.S. dollar impact the financial results reported by the Company. The Company does not currently enter into anyforeign exchange contracts to hedge against currency risk.

Reliance on Key Employees and Third-Party RelationshipsThe Company’s ability to develop its products will depend, to a great extent, on its ability to attract and retain highly qualifiedpersonnel and to develop and maintain third-party relationships for assistance in the conduct of research efforts, product developmentand manufacturing. The Company is highly dependent on the principal members of its management staff as well as its third-partyrelationships, the loss of whose services might impede the achievement of development objectives. The people working with theCompany are affected by a number of influences outside of the control of the Company. The loss of key employees may affect the speedand success of product development. Although the Company believes that its partners will have an economic motivation to commercializethe Company’s product included in any collaborative agreement, the amount and timing of resources diverted to these activities generallyis expected to be controlled by the third party. During the past year the Company replaced its Chief Executive Officer, Chief OperatingOfficer and CFO to strengthen its management team.

Patents and Proprietary TechnologyThe Company believes it has minimal risk related to its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate withoutinfringing the rights of third parties. The Company has filed applications for patents in certain jurisdictions. There can be no assurancethat the Company’s existing patent applications will be allowed, that the Company will develop future proprietary products that arepatentable, that any issued patents will provide the Company with any competitive advantages or will not be successfully challenged byany third parties, or that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to do business. In addition,there can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicating some or all of the patent protectionheld by the Company. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the confidentiality of the Company’s trade secrets can be maintainedor that such trade secrets will not or have already been independently discovered by others.

In addition, the Company may be required to obtain licenses under patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. No assurance canbe given that any licenses required under such patents or proprietary rights will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If theCompany does not obtain such licenses, it could encounter delays in introducing one or more of its products to the market while it attemptsto design around such patents, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could beforeclosed. In addition, the Company could incur substantial costs in defending itself in suits brought against the Company on such patentsor in suits in which the Company attempts to enforce its own patents against other parties.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not used off-balance-sheet arrangements and does not expect to do so in the future. Management reviews its exposureto foreign exchange risk on an ongoing basis. While the Company purchases substantially all of its products from its third-partymanufacturers in U.S. dollars and sells the majority of its products in U.S. dollars, the Company can be exposed to foreign currencyrisk from assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars in its Canadian companies and from Canadian-denominated asset andliabilities in its self-sustaining subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. The Company has not entered intoexternal hedging instruments, but may use such instruments in the future if Management determines such instruments are the mosteffective manner to minimize its foreign currency exposure.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company’sdisclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the issuer. They are assisted in this responsibility by the senior Management team.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls andprocedures and the design of internal controls at September 30, 2006, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls andprocedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries would havebeen known to them.

Through the evaluation of the design of its internal controls the Company has identified certain pre-existing internal control weaknessesin the financial reporting close process, specifically a lack of segregation of duties in the consolidation process. While this deficiency insegregation of duties could have led to a material misstatement in the financial statements, no such misstatement occurred. Managementbelieves it has remediated this control weakness by enhancing the consolidation review process.

Beginning in the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter, the Company made changes to certain of its inventory managementprocesses that assisted in strengthening the controls for the existence, accuracy and valuation of inventory.

OUTLOOK

Management projects that the Company should achieve revenue growth in fiscal 2007 as a result of broadening its customer base and the anticipated growth in shipping Digimerge products in North America and internationally. The Company expects to be profitable as a result of increased revenues due to new product offerings, change in customer and product mix and the delivery of superior offeringsof quality product.

The Company continues to invest in product development and is committed to bring innovative products to market.

The Company believes that in fiscal 2007, LOREX could grow at a pace at least equal to market growth by having available market competitivequality products. The Company’s long-term outlook is to take advantage of its market presence and to introduce leading-edge productto its extensive customer base.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) Basis of Consolidation:The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: LOREX Canada Inc.(formerly Strategic Vista Technologies Inc.), LOREX Corporation (formerly Strategic Vista (USA), Inc.), Strategic Vista CorporationLimited (a Hong Kong corporation), Digimerge Technologies Inc., XBL Solutions Inc. and Strategic Vista Direct, Inc. (a U.S.corporation). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

In fiscal 2004, Strategic Vista Corporation Limited entered into a joint venture to construct and operate a manufacturing facility in China. In fiscal 2006 the operations of the joint venture seized. The Company is accounting for the joint venture as adiscontinued operation (see note 12).

As of September 30, 2006, the Company was in violation of its debt to tangible net worth covenant under its $15,000,000 facility.The bank has not waived its rights under this facility. The future ability of the Company to operate in the normal course isdependent on its current lender not demanding payment as a result of the covenant default, meeting its financial covenants in thefuture and obtaining additional financing through its current or a new lender combined with other financing initiatives.

(b) Foreign Currency Translation:Effective October 1, 2004, the U.S. dollar became the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries – DigimergeTechnologies Inc., LOREX Corporation and Strategic Vista Corporation Limited. For other U.S. subsidiaries that are consideredfully integrated foreign operations and foreign currency transactions, non-Canadian-dollar monetary assets and liabilities aretranslated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the consolidated balance sheet dates, while non-monetaryassets and liabilities are translated at historical rates of exchange. Revenues and expenses are translated into Canadian dollars at therate in effect at the date of transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are included in net earnings forthe year in which they occur.

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency for preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Under thismethod, the Company and its subsidiaries that use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency translate all assets and liabilitiesat the year-end exchange rate and all revenue and expense items are translated at an average rate of exchange for the year for U.S.dollar reporting. Exchange rate differences arising on translation are deferred as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents:Cash and cash equivalents include bank balances and highly liquid short-term investments with terms to maturity of less than 90 days at the time of acquisition.

(d) Inventory:Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

(e) Capital and Intangible Assets:Capital and intangible assets are stated at cost. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following terms:

Property, plant and equipment: Product development: Intangibles:Furnishings and Tooling 3 years Patents, trademarks and licenses 3 years

equipment 3 years Product design 3 years Purchased trademarks 5 yearsComputer hardware

and software 3 yearsWebsite 3 yearsLeasehold improvements 3 yearsDisplays 2 years

(f) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:The Company conducts its impairment test on long-lived assets, including intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstancesindicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows expected from its use and disposal. If there is an impairment, theimpairment amount is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, calculated usingthe discounted cash flows when quoted market prices are not available.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Expressed in U.S. dollars)Years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Page 28: CHANGE MONITORING. - LOREX TECHNOLOGY

26 LOREX TECHNOLOGY INC.

(g) Research and Development Costs:Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless the development project is for atechnically feasible product that management intends to produce and market and for which the intended market is clearly definedand adequate resources exist to complete the project. Deferred development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over athree-year period commencing with commercial production or use of the products under development.

(h) Employee Stock Purchase Plan:The Company has an employee stock purchase plan for employees, directors and consultants that are accounted for using the fairmarket value-based method. The Company expenses at a rate of 25% per year, straight-line, compensation cost on the date of grantwith a corresponding amount recognized in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. When the shares vest, the share certificates arereleased to the employee at which time the accrual is reversed to common shares. See note 6(b).

(i) Stock-Based Compensation:The Company accounts for stock option payments using the fair value method. Under the fair value method, stock-based paymentsare measured at the fair value of equity instruments determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and are amortizedover the vesting period. The offset to the recorded cost is contributed surplus.

(j) Revenue Recognition:The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from the sale of products to its customers. Revenue is recognized when titlepasses to customers, which is generally at the time goods are received by the customer, and when there is reasonable assurance ofthe consideration that will be received, taking into account the extent to which goods may be returned. Cash discounts, volumediscounts and certain marketing programs provided to customers are deducted from revenue when earned.

(k) Income Taxes:The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method,future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial statement values and taxvalues of assets and liabilities and are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates and laws expected to be in effect whenthe differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against future income tax assets if it cannotdemonstrate through the use of objectively verifiable available information that it is more likely than not that the future income taxasset will be realized.

(l) Earnings per Share:Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Thecomputation of diluted earnings per share assumes the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year isincreased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive commonshares had been issued. The dilutive effect of warrants and stock options is determined using the treasury stock method.

(m) Goodwill:Goodwill is the residual amount that results when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the sum of the amountsallocated to the assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, based on their fair values. The amount of goodwill disclosed on the balancesheets has changed during the year due to the change in the foreign exchange rate.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the asset might be impaired. The impairment test is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reportingunit is compared with its fair value. When the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reportingunit is considered not to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. The second step is carried out whenthe carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, in which case the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill iscompared with its carrying amount to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The implied fair value of goodwill isdetermined in the same manner as the value of goodwill is determined in a business combination, using the fair value of the reportingunit as if it was the purchase price. When the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of thegoodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess and is presented as a separate line in the statement ofearnings. The Company conducted its annual goodwill assessment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 andconcluded there was no impairment in the recorded value of the goodwill.

(n) Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Significant estimates are used in determining, but are not limited to, the allowancefor doubtful accounts, provision for returns, inventory valuation, income tax valuation allowances, the useful lives and valuation of intangible assets, and the fair value of the reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment costs. Actual results could differfrom those estimates.
