On November 7, 2003, the Company changed its name to Bulldog Technologies Inc. and merged with Bulldog Nevada such that after closing the consolidated entity consists of Bulldog Technologies Inc. (formerly Northward Ventures, Inc.) and its subsidiary, Bulldog BC.
In accordance with provisions governing the accounting for reverse acquisitions, the accounts are presented as a continuation of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada, combined.
In September 2005, Bulldog BC incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Bulldog Technologies Mexico, S.A. de C.V., to conduct business in Mexico. As of May 31, 2006, Bulldog Technologies Mexico, S.A. de C.V. was inactive.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Bulldog Technologies (BC) Inc. and Bulldog Technologies Mexico, S.A. de C.V. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company is currently in the development stage and presents its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of May 31, 2006, the Company has accumulated consolidated operating losses since inception of $10,249. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the successful completion of development and marketing of its security systems, the continuing support of creditors and stockholders as well as achieving a profitable level of operations. In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with four (4) investors to raise $2,100 through the issuance of convertible notes (Note 9). This financing was funded in September 2005 and the Company received proceeds of $1,883, net of transaction costs of $217. In February 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with ten (10) investors to raise $2,000 through the issuance of additional convertible notes (Note 9). In February 2006 and March 2006, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $1,874, net of transaction costs of $126. In July 2006, the Company raised $750 pursuant to a subordinated secured promissory note which is due on September 28, 2006 (Note 13). Management believes it will require approximately $3,900 over the twelve (12) month period ending May 31, 2007 to continue operations. We intend to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt; and through the negotiation of strategic relationships that may provide funding as a result of distribution, technology or product development, or licensing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business. Amounts raised, if any, will be used to continue the development, marketing and sales of the Companys products; and for general working capital purposes.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that managements plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future if the Company can attract additional financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2005 included in the Companys 10-KSB Annual Report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when products are shipped, the title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonable assured. Revenue generated through the provision of consulting services is recognized as the services are provided.
Stock Option Compensation
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation to account for stock options granted to non-employees using the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123. Stock option compensation for non-employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date until options vest.
The Company has elected to continue to measure compensation cost for employees under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, including interpretations provided in Interpretation (FIN) No. 44. Generally, under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized for options granted to employees and directors (for their services as directors) only if the option price is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.
SFAS No. 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share as if compensation cost for the Companys stock options granted to employees had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123.
The Company has not adopted the fair value method of accounting under SFAS No. 148 for stock-based compensation to employees. Consequently, related pro forma information as required under SFAS No. 123 has been disclosed below in accordance with SFAS No. 148.

During the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 the Company granted 1,360,000 options to fourteen employees at a weighted average exercise price of $1.48 per option. Of these options granted, 20,000 were forfeited subsequent to the date of grant but prior to May 31, 2006. The options expire between December 1, 2010 and December 26, 2010. The weighted average fair value of the options granted was $1.54 per option estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 186%, risk free rate of 5.0% and an expected life of 5 years. Such amount is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of 36 months.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the previous year ended August 31, 2005 to employees was $1.60 per option estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 186%, risk-free rate of 4.18% - 4.40% and an expected life of 5 years. Such amount is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods ranging from 10 to 36 months.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) would require the Company to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. For public entities that file as a small business issuer, SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. Among other things, SFAS No. 155 permits the election of fair value remeasurement for certain hybrid financial instruments that would otherwise require bifurcation under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These hybrid financial instruments would include both assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue 05-7 (EITF 05-7), Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues. According to EITF Issue 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, an exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms (or a substantial modification of the terms of existing debt) is deemed tantamount to a debt extinguishment.
In EITF 05-7, the Task Force provides the following additional guidance in the application of EITF 96-19. In determining whether a substantial modification has been made to a convertible debt instrument (and thus whether an extinguishment has occurred), the change in fair value of the related embedded conversion option should be included in the EITF 96-19 analysis, with such change calculated as the difference between the fair values of the option immediately before and after the modification. The modification of a convertible debt instrument should affect subsequent recognition of interest expense with respect to changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion option. A new beneficial conversion feature should not be recognized nor should an existing one be reassessed upon modification to a convertible debt instrument (i.e., the only value associated with the modification of the embedded conversion option to be accounted for should be the change in its fair value). The foregoing consensus is effective for future modifications of debt instruments beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN No. 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect, if any, of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on the financial statements.
The Company has not yet determined the effect of future implementation of these new standards on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Recapitalization
In November 2003, the Company closed an agreement with the stockholders of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada (companies under common control) whereby the Company acquired the issued and outstanding shares of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada on a one-for-one basis in exchange for 710,000 and 9,081,500 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively. At the acquisition date, all of Bulldog Nevadas shares had been
8
exchanged while 695,800 of Bulldog BCs common shares had been exchanged leaving 14,200 common shares of Bulldog BC still to be exchanged. As of May 31, 2006, only 2,000 shares still had to be exchanged.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as applicable to reverse acquisition because the former stockholders of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada controlled approximately 51% of the Companys common stock immediately upon conclusion of the transaction and the continuing business is that of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the post-acquisition entity is accounted for as a recapitalization of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada.
4. Comprehensive Income or Loss
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income or loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in equity including such items as unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities classified as available-for-sale, foreign currency translation, adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, the Companys only item of other comprehensive income or loss was a result of the effect of foreign currency translation.

7. Bank Loan
The Company had a demand operating line of credit of approximately $386 (CDN$450) (August 31, 2005 - $379 (CDN$450)) which bore interest at 5% per annum and was payable monthly. The Companys line of credit agreement was collateralized by short-term investments. The Company had not previously used this credit facility. In January 2006, the Company terminated the operating line of credit.
8. Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
The Company entered into agreements with two directors for services commencing November 17, 2003 whereby the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 275,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly of which 23,000 shares were issued in November 2003 and 69,000 shares were issued in June 2004. The
9
remaining 183,000 shares were issued during the nine month period ended May 31, 2005. During the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2005 the Company recorded $Nil and $102, respectively, as compensation expense related to the shares earned by the directors under these agreements based on the quoted market price of $1.50 per share of common stock on the agreement date. As of May 31, 2005, all common shares had been issued to the directors of the Company pursuant to this agreement and the Company had no further obligations in respect of this arrangement.
Related party transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the amount established and agreed to by the related parties.
9. Convertible Notes
August 2005 Convertible Notes
In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with four (4) accredited investors (the August 2005 Investors) to sell an aggregate of $2,100 of 6% convertible notes (the August 2005 Notes) which entitle the investors to convert all or any part of the principal outstanding under the convertible notes into common shares at $1.06 per share, subject to adjustment according to the terms of the note agreement. In connection with the February 2006 Notes, as further described herein, the conversion price was reduced to $1.00 per share pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the August 2005 Notes. In September 2005, the Company received net proceeds from this transaction of approximately $1,883, net of transaction costs for placement agents, legal and accounting of approximately $217. The interest payable on the principal amount outstanding under the convertible notes is payable quarterly in cash or common shares, at the option of the Company, with the number of shares to be determined by dividing the interest payable by the market price as defined in the August 2005 Notes agreement. The Company may elect to make the quarterly interest payments in shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the then current market price, which is equal to the closing sale price of our Companys common stock (or if no closing sale prices are reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices) for the 20 day period immediately prior to the date of the interest payment. The August 2005 Notes will mature on August 29, 2010.
In connection with the issuance of the August 2005 Notes, each investor also received detachable share purchase warrants. Each share purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one share of common stock and is exercisable for a period of five (5) years, at an exercise price per warrant of $1.25, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the warrant. In connection with the February 2006 Notes, as further described herein, the exercise price was reduced to $1.15 per warrant pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the August 2005 Notes. The Company issued 792,453 warrants to the August 2005 Investors in September 2005 and an additional 166,415 warrants to a placement agent on the same terms.
In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement executed in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 29, 2005 (See Note 10), the Company was required to use its best efforts to file and cause the registration statement of the Companys common stock to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as promptly as possible, but in any event, no later than the earlier of the 90th calendar day following the closing date of the agreement and the fifth (5th) trading day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments (the Effective Date). The Company is also required to keep the registration statement continuously effective for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Date in respect of the August 2005 Notes agreement.
Consequently, the warrants issued in connection with these private placements are deemed to require net-cash settlement and are classified as liabilities in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19. Accordingly, the Company initially recorded the fair value of these warrants as a liability. Subsequently, such amount is being re-measured on each balance sheet date based on the then fair value of the warrants with the adjustment charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The proceeds of the convertible notes have been allocated to the notes, warrants and beneficial conversion option in accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (EITF 0027). Accordingly, $448 was allocated to the notes and $836 was allocated to the embedded conversion option and $816 was originally allocated to the detachable warrants. The issuance cost of the convertible notes amounted to $388 (inclusive of the fair value of $171 related to 166,415 warrants issued to the
10
placement agent, the agent fees paid in cash and the legal and accounting expenses incurred as described above) is recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as deferred financing costs and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of debt. The amount allocated to the embedded conversion option is also amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of debt. The fair value of the warrants was calculated as described in Note 10.
As a result of the February 28, 2006 change in conversion price noted above, an additional amount had been allocated to the embedded conversion option of $125.
February 2006 Convertible Notes
On February 24, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with ten (10) investors to sell an aggregate of $2,000 of convertible notes (the February 2006 Notes) which entitle the investors to convert all or any part of the principal outstanding under the convertible notes into common shares at $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment according to the terms of the February 2006 Notes agreement. The February 2006 Notes bear interest on the outstanding principal amount until the February 2006 Notes are paid in full at an annual rate of the greater of six percent (6%) or LIBOR plus 300 basis points (8.12% at May 31, 2006). Pursuant to the terms of the February 2006 Notes agreement, the February 2006 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock. The total principal of $2,000 is to be repaid in 14 monthly instalments commencing on June 24, 2006. These repayments may be payable in cash or in shares of common stock at the market price, as further defined in the February 2006 Notes agreement. Interest accrues on the unpaid balance of the principal amount of each note, is payable on a quarterly basis commencing on March 31, 2006 and may be payable in cash or in shares of common stock at the market price at the option of the Company. Market price is defined in the note to equal 90% of the volume weighted average trading price per share for the 20 day period immediately prior to the date the principal repayment or the interest payment is due. The Company may not make a principal repayment or interest payment in shares of common stock unless the closing price on the day the principal repayment or interest is due, as the case may be, is greater than the volume weighted average trading price for the 20 trading days preceding such principal repayment or interest payment date. All principal and interest on the February 2006 Notes shall be due on August 24, 2007.
On June 24, 2006, the Company paid in cash its first monthly principal amortization and quarterly interest payment of $143 and $41, respectively, on the February 2006 Notes.
In connection with the February 2006 Notes, the Company received aggregate proceeds of $1,874 through fundings in February 2006 and March 2006, net of legal and placement agent fees of $126. In February 2006, eight (8) investors provided the initial $1,500 portion of the February 2006 Notes and the balance of $500 was funded by two (2) investors in March 2006.
In connection with the issuance of the February 2006 Notes, each investor also received detachable share purchase warrants. Each share purchase warrant entitles the investor to purchase one share of common stock and is exercisable for a period of five (5) years, at an exercise price per warrant of $1.15, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the warrant. The Company issued 1,500,000 share purchase warrants to the eight (8) investors in February 2006 and the remaining 500,000 share purchase warrants to the other two (2) investors in March 2006.
In consideration of the August 2005 Investors agreement to participate in the February 2006 Notes financing, the Company agreed to issue to the August 2005 Investors an additional 1,307,547 share purchase warrants, pro rated based on the principal amount of notes held by the respective investor on February 24, 2006. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.15, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the warrant and are exercisable for a period of five (5) years.
As a result of the execution of a registration rights agreement, with terms and conditions similar to the August 2005 Notes, the warrants issued in connection with the February 2006 Notes require net-cash settlement and are classified as liabilities in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19.
The proceeds of the February 2006 Notes of $2,000, of which $1,500 was received in February 2006 and $500 was received in March 2006, have been allocated to the notes, warrants and beneficial conversion option in accordance with EITF 00-27. Accordingly, $Nil was allocated to the notes and $789 was allocated to the embedded conversion option and $1,211 was allocated to the 2,000,000 detachable warrants. The issuance cost of the convertible notes which amounted to $1,646 (inclusive of the fair value related to the 1,307,547 additional warrants of $1,520, the agent fees, legal and accounting expenses incurred as described above) is
11
recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as deferred financing costs and is amortized on a straight line basis over the term of debt. The amount allocated to the embedded conversion option is also amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of debt. The fair value of the warrants was calculated as described in Note 10.

In connection with the August 2005 Note and February 2006 Note (the Notes), the Company incurred aggregate transaction costs of $2,033, which have been recorded as deferred financing costs in the balance sheet and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective Notes. As of May 31, 2006, deferred financing costs was $1,701. For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2006, amortization of deferred financing costs was $294 and $332, respectively.
As collateral for payment and satisfaction of all of Companys obligations under the notes issued on February 24, 2006 and August 2005, the Company granted a continuing first priority security interest in and to all of its assets (presently owned and those that are to be acquired in the future) to the holders of the notes.
10. Capital Stock
April 2004 Private Placement of Shares and Warrants
In April 2004, the Company completed a private placement and issued 2,219,611 units for gross proceeds of approximately $4,994 (the April 2004 Financing). Each unit consisted of one (1) common share, 1/4 Series A share purchase warrant, and 1/2 Series B share purchase warrant. The Company issued 554,902 Series A share purchase warrants exercisable at $3.50 per share for a period of five (5) years, which were subsequently repriced to $1.25 in September 2005 in connection with certain anti-dilution provisions as a result of a convertible note issuance in August 2005 (See Note 9). The Company also issued 1,109,806 Series B share purchase warrants in connection with the April 2004 Financing, which were exercisable at $2.25 per share until the earlier of fourteen (14) months after April 14, 2004 or eight (8) months after a registration statement is declared effective. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 2, 2004. In connection with the April 2004 Financing, the Company paid a placement fee of approximately $300. Additionally, the Company has accrued and paid six percent (6%) of any monies received on the exercise of these warrants. The Series B share purchase warrants expired on February 2, 2005.
On November 5, 2004, holders of the Series B share purchase warrants exercised 309,806 of those warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $589. The Company paid a placement fee in cash of approximately $35, or 6% of the gross proceeds, as required under the original private placement agreement to the placement agent who originally identified the investors in April 2004. As an inducement to early exercise, the Company temporarily reduced the exercise price of the Series B share purchase warrants to $1.90 per share if exercised on
12
or before November 5, 2004. All other terms and conditions of the warrants remained unchanged. As of November 5, 2004, approximately $293 was recorded as additional paid-in capital on revaluation of the liability for warrants subject to registration rights. This balance represented the prorated amount of the liability on the exercise date of November 5, 2004. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at that date with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 186%, risk-free interest rate of 3.51% and an expected life of 10 months for the exercised Series B warrants.
In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement executed in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 2004, the Company was required to use its best efforts to file and cause the registration statement of the Companys common stock to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as promptly as possible, but in any event, no later than the earlier of the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the closing date of the agreement and the fifth (5th) trading day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments (the Effective Date). The Company is also required to keep the registration statement continuously effective for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Date.
Consequently, the warrants issued in connection with April 2004 Financing are deemed to require net-cash settlement and are classified as liabilities in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-19. Accordingly, the Company initially recorded the fair value of these warrants as a liability. Subsequently, such amount is being re-measured on each balance sheet date based on the then fair value of the warrants with the adjustment charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
As of May 31, 2006, the Company has 4,808,817 (Note 11) share purchase warrants outstanding composed of the following: (i) Series A warrant exercisable into 542,402 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.25 per share, (ii) August 2005 Notes detachable warrants exercisable into 958,868 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.15 per share, and (iii) February 2006 Notes detachable warrants exercisable into 3,307,547 shares of the Companys common stock at $1.15 per share. As of May 31, 2006 the liability for the fair value of the warrants recorded on the balance sheet was $2,843 (August 31, 2005 - $499). For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2006, the Company recorded a gain on revaluation of liability for warrants subject to registration rights of approximately $2,092 and $1,372, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2005, the Company recorded a gain on revaluation of liability for warrants subject to registration rights of approximately $126 and $537, respectively.
The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

11. Stock Options and Warrants
Stock Option Plan
In March 2004, the Board of Directors approved the Companys 2004 Stock Option Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of stock options to key employees, directors and consultants to purchase up to 5,000,000 common shares of the Company. Under the 2004 Plan, the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Board of Directors. For incentive options, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the grant date. In the case of options granted to an employee who owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of the Companys stock on the date of grant, the option price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. Options granted may be exercised over a term not to exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (five (5) years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of all classes of the Companys common stock), subject to the terms of the 2004 Plan. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, stock options shall vest at the rate of 25% per year starting one year following the granting of options.
The 2004 Stock Option Plan was amended and, effective November 17, 2004, authorized the issuance of a maximum of 7,000,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Stock Options
The Company follows SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires compensation costs associated with stock options granted to non-employees to be recognized based on the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation for non-
14
employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date until such options vest. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option-vesting period. Unvested stock options are re-measured on each balance sheet date for the purpose of determining stock option compensation, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of 10 months.
As of May 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the following weighted average assumptions:

For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2005, the Company recorded compensation expense in connection with options issued to consultants of $53 and $279, respectively.

12. Contingent Liabilities
During the normal course of business activity, the Company was involved in litigation proceedings, certain lawsuits and other claims at May 31, 2006. Two (2) of these lawsuits were settled subsequent to May 31, 2006.
On June 21, 2001, Reliability Engineering Associates Limited commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry No. S013516) against Bulldog Technologies (BC) Inc. claiming CDN$85,600 (for a design fee of CDN$80,000 plus goods and services tax), $12,198 (on account of delay costs), general damages, special damages, court ordered interest and costs for services performed pursuant to a written agreement dated for reference October 30, 2000. On October 17, 2001, Bulldog Technologies (BC) filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. Bulldog Technologies (BC)s defense alleges that the services were not performed or were performed negligently or inadequately and as a result no monies are owing to Reliability. Bulldog Technologies (BC)s counterclaim alleges that since Reliability did not provide the services contracted for, it should return 200,000 shares that we issued to Reliability in advance towards payment. Accordingly, we are seeking an order that Reliability return 200,000 shares of our common stock or, alternatively, that the shares be cancelled; in the alternative, damages for breach of contract; costs and court ordered interest. On February 8, 2005, Reliability commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry No. S050718) against our company claiming damages for conversion and punitive damages for failing to deliver the shares that form the subject matter of the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia under Vancouver Registry No. S013516. In May 2006, these matters were settled as evidenced by a Settlement Agreement dated May 9, 2006 executed by the parties whereby Bulldog Technologies (BC) agreed to pay Reliability CDN$22,500 and Reliability agreed to return 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Bulldog Technologies (BC) remitted to Reliability a check for CDN$22,500 on April 25, 2006 and Reliability returned 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock on June 2, 2006. The effect of this settlement is included in accounts payable with the corresponding charge to professional fees in the consolidated statement of operations.
In early May 2004, Ronald G. Cranfield put our Company on notice that he is contemplating measures to enforce an oral agreement that he claims he has entered into with us. Mr. Cranfield commenced an action against Bulldog BC and its President, John Cockburn, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, New Westminster Registry File Number S95050, on October 25, 2005. Mr. Cranfield alleges breach of a written contract dated June 11, 2001, and subsequent addenda dated December 11, 2001, March 25, 2002, June 11, 2002, October 11, 2002, January 10, 2003 and January 13, 2003. Mr. Cranfield is seeking, among other things, issuance to himself of 82,000 shares in the capital stock of our company and grant to his company, R.G.C. & Associates Travel Ltd., of exclusive distribution rights of our Companys products in Japan and Korea. On February 1, 2006, a Consent Dismissal Order was granted dismissing the action against John Cockburn, as a prior agreement between the parties bars an action against Mr. Cockburn. Our Company has filed an Appearance to the action and on January 17, 2006 filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. In our Counterclaim, we seek damages for breach of contract by Mr. Cranfield, for failing to provide fundraising services to our Company. On May 9, 2006, the matter was settled and the parties entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement. In consideration of this agreement, Bulldog BC agreed to issue 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock, subject to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. The 50,000 shares were issued to Cranfield on June 21, 2006. The effect of this settlement is included in accounts payable at the prevailing market rate of $0.63 per share, the closing quoted price on the date of settlement, with the corresponding charge to professional fees included in the consolidated statement of operations.
17
The outcome of the remaining matters is subject to future resolution. Managements evaluation and analysis of such matters indicates that, individually and in the aggregate, the probable ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The outcome of these other matters is presently indeterminable. Any settlement resulting from resolution of these contingencies will be accounted for in the period of settlement.
13. Subsequent Events
On June 1, 2006, we issued 25,585 shares of common stock to four (4) accredited investors as interest payments on convertible notes issued on August 29, 2005. The value attributed to the common stock was $19, or $0.76 per share, based on the average of the quoted market price for the twenty (20) day period prior to the June 1, 2006 settlement date.
On June 6, 2006, the Company executed a financial advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with a strategic advisor (the Advisor) to advise and assist management and the Board of Directors in the development and execution of a restructuring plan. The Advisory Agreement provides for cash compensation of $20 per month for the three month period ending August 31, 2006, which may be extended upon mutual agreement of the parties on a month-to-month basis. In connection with the Advisory Agreement, the Company granted to the Advisor a ten (10) year option to exercise 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock pursuant to the 2004 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, which was $0.46 per share. The option vests on August 31, 2006.
On June 26, 2006, the Company executed a one-year employment agreement with Mr. Paul G. Harrington, who was appointed the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2006. The employment agreement, provides Mr. Harrington a base salary of $150, a guaranteed bonus of $75 to be earned on the one-year anniversary of the execution date of the employment agreement, an additional bonus of $75 to be earned upon the achievement of performance criteria, and an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys stock, vesting over three (3) years and exercisable for a period up to ten (10) years from the date of grant.
As of June 30, 2006, Mr. John Cockburn, the Companys then Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer and entered into a settlement agreement and release of all claims (the Settlement Agreement) with the Company. In consideration of the Settlement Agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Cockburn a total of $42, payable in four (4) equal monthly instalments of $10.5 beginning July 1, 2006. On August 4, 2006, Mr. John Cockburn resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and as its Director of Global Sales. Mr. Cockburns resignation was a result of his desire to pursue other personal interests. In connection with Mr. Cockburns resignation there were no disagreements with the Companys Board of Directors or management.
On July 10, 2006, the Company executed a Note Purchase Agreement and Ninety (90) Day Subordinated Secured Promissory Note (collectively, the Note) with an investment group (the Investor). This short-term financing, which was dated as of June 30, 2006, provides the Company with $750 in immediate working capital to facilitate the restructuring of the Company. The Note, which bears interest at the rate of one percent (1%) above the prime lending rate (8.25% as of June 30, 2006), requires principal and accrued interest to be repaid on September 28, 2006. In connection with the Note, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement, which provides the Investor with a security interest and lien in and to all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Secured Obligations). Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Investor has agreed to subordinate the payment and lien of any and all Secured Obligations to any and all Senior Debt, including any security interests and liens afforded to the investors in the February 2006 Notes.

Overview
History
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 18, 2002. Until we effected the acquisition of Bulldog BC and the merger with Bulldog Nevada, our focus was on the exploration of a mineral claim known as the North Manchester Property, located in the Sudbury Mining Division, Province of Ontario, Canada. To date, we have not undertaken any exploration activity on the North Manchester Property and we do not intend on expending any more funds on this property.
On November 10, 2003, we completed the acquisition of 695,800, or 98%, of the shares of Bulldog BC in exchange for issuing 695,800 shares of our common stock. The stockholders of Bulldog BC were entitled to receive one share of our common stock for each share of Bulldog BC. After the acquisition closed on November 10, 2003, Bulldog BC became our subsidiary.
The merger of Bulldog Nevada and Bulldog Acquisition Corp. was completed effective as of November 10, 2003. As a result of the merger, we acquired 9,081,500 issued and outstanding shares in Bulldog Nevada in exchange for agreeing to issue 9,081,500 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Bulldog Nevada. The stockholders of Bulldog Nevada were entitled to receive one share of our common stock for each share of Bulldog Nevada. After the merger closed on November 10, 2003, Bulldog Nevada became our wholly-owned subsidiary. After completion of this merger, we merged Bulldog Acquisition Corp. with our Company. As part of this merger, we changed our name from Northward Ventures, Inc. to Bulldog Technologies Inc. to reflect our newly acquired business.
Our business involves the development, manufacture and sale of the Bulldog Online Security System, which is commonly referred to as BOSS, designed to prevent cargo theft from cargo containers, tractor-trailers, cargo vans, tanker trucks, storage yard containers and other transportation and storage equipment.
We are still in our infancy as a viable commercial entity, and consequently our focus has been on the identification of market needs, the development of products and services to meet these needs, and the branding of our company and our services. We anticipate that the expected growth in revenues will assist us in attracting additional financing to allow us to add the needed resources in order to further support the growth of our operations. Despite our expectations, there are no assurances that an increase in our revenues can be achieved, or that we will be
19
able to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Should we be unable to achieve the anticipated revenue growth or to attract additional financing on acceptable terms, our ongoing business and future success may be adversely affected.
Explanation of Comparative Periods
As discussed above, we acquired Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada effective on November 10, 2003. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as applicable to reverse acquisitions because the former stockholders of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada controlled approximately 51% of our common stock immediately upon conclusion of the transaction (including the private placement completed in connection with this transaction) and the continuing business is that of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada. Under reverse acquisition accounting, the post-acquisition entity is accounted for as a recapitalization of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada.
Accordingly, the historical financial statements and financial information presented in this quarterly report prior to the share exchange are those of Bulldog BC and Bulldog Nevada.
Plan of Operations
Explanation of Plan of Operations
To date, we have not generated any significant revenues. All revenues prior to and including the quarter ended November 30, 2005 were generated primarily from incidental consulting services. We commenced generating revenues from the sale of our BOSSTM systems during the six months ended May 31, 2006. As a result, we have included a discussion of our plan of operations for the twelve (12) month period ending May 31, 2007 as such discussion is more informative to our shareholders.
Cash Requirements
We anticipate that we will expend approximately $3.9 million on our BOSSTM product business during the next twelve-month period to secure initial product orders, build market channels, support customer trials, complete independent product evaluations, recruit senior engineers and marketing staff, conduct continued research and development on our new products, launch a marketing program, ramp up our manufacturing capabilities, and purchase equipment. The estimated expenditures are in tandem with our business plan to generate sales of our products in North America, Latin America and Europe. These estimated expenditures required during the twelve (12) month period ending May 31, 2007 are as follows:

Sales and Marketing
We are targeting four (4) major primary markets: (i) retail, (ii) pharmaceutical, (iii) high technology, and (iv) government. We are focused on selling our products to the manufacturers of goods in three (3) of those commercial markets. Government sales will be handled through a value added reseller. Currently, we are working on business opportunities in North America, Latin America and Europe. We are promoting our products through multiple channels, namely industry trade shows, distributors, security consultants and our own sales team. We currently have distributors covering markets in North America and Latin America, and anticipate engaging new distributors, resellers and sales agents. We believe we have made progress in Mexico and Ecuador through the appointment of Value Added Resellers. There has been interest in our products, especially for the RoadBoss, which could ease the flow of containers through the borders between Mexico and the United States.
We are currently negotiating with several potential customers for the sale of our MiniBoss and RoadBoss products for pilot programs. We anticipate that we will expend approximately $400,000 during the next twelve-
20
month period on sales and marketing activities such as trade shows, conducting pilot projects, advertising and other marketing activities.
Research and Development
We have commercialized our MiniBoss product line for commercial deployment and are in the process of commercial deployment for our new RoadBoss II line. At the same time, we are also improving the product features and components with the intention of upgrading their performance. We are expending a significant amount of resources in developing our own proprietary AVL software and radio frequency design. We are planning to continue our research and development on the following new products:
- Commercial Vehicle/Cargo Tracking. We have completed the integration of the hybrid global positioning system (GPSOne) protocol into our existing security systems, but the hybrid global positioning system (GPSOne) is currently only available on Sprints North American network. We are also working with various GSM based assisted global positioning system (GPS) capabilities as well. GSM is the globally deployed cellular technology, and by completing this technology development, we could open global markets to our products, as well as continue to reduce cost and improve functionality.
- Automated Vehicle Location, (AVL) software. We have completed the initial development of our new asset management and security monitoring application, and we plan to continue to improve the functionality of this software offering.
- Asset Management Products. We have commenced the commercial deployment of our integrated long range radio frequency identification products, and will continue the research and development effort to support emerging wireless communication standards, such as Zigbee, which could allow our security systems to be operationally combined with asset management systems with the view to providing increased functionality and a better return on investment model.
- Tanker Security System. We are planning to continue additional functionality development on our tanker security system, which we believe will allow for the monitoring of liquids transported in industrial tanker trucks.
- Sensor Monitoring Products. We have leveraged our design competencies in radio frequency identification with the standardization of Zigbee to create asset monitoring tags which should give our customers the ability to monitor asset location, temperature, and other valuable sensor information with our monitoring infrastructure.
We anticipate expending approximately $500,000 during the next twelve-month period on research and development activities on our BOSS product line.
Manufacturing and Engineering
We expect to spend $300,000 in the next twelve-month period on materials, moulds and engineering services in ramping up the manufacturing process and in improving our engineering capabilities. We expect to incur costs in the development and commercialization of our new models of the Mini BOSSTM and Road BOSSTM.
General and Administrative Expenses
We expect to spend $550,000 during the next twelve-month period on general and administrative expenses including legal and auditing fees, insurance, investor relations, rent, office equipment and other administrative related expenses. These expenses relate to operating costs of our offices in Richmond, British Columbia and Bellingham, Washington. Our office in Bellingham provides technical support for provisioning our products onto the Sprint network for air-time services related to the MiniBoss. We have set up computer servers for the air-time services.
We have incurred $48,000 in patent fees to protect our patents in eight countries that we have or intend to have business interests. Our company has been granted a patent in the United States, and has filed an international application claiming priority from the United States patent with the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization under the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT), for the invention of our continuous feedback security system for cargo containers. The PCT patent application is in good standing and is currently pending.
21
Capital Expenditure
We intend to invest $200,000 during the next twelve-month period in laboratory and testing equipment, computer software, and manufacturing equipment.
Employees
We expect that we will spend $1.9 million in salaries during the next twelve months. Our Company currently employs 30 employees.
Future Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going-Concern
We have incurred accumulated losses of approximately $10,249 from inception on September 23, 1998 through May 31, 2006.
As noted above, management of our Company projects that we require approximately $3.9 million to fund our ongoing operating expenses, and working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. In August 2005 and February 2006 we completed convertible note financings resulting in gross proceeds of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In July 2006, we executed a $750,000 subordinated secured promissory note with an investment group that provides for the repayment of principal and accrued interest on September 28, 2006. Although we commenced generating revenues from the sale of our BOSSTM systems during the six months ended May 31, 2006, we will be unable to generate sufficient sales revenues to meet our operating expenses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, until we achieve positive operating cash flow generated through the generation of substantial sales, we will require additional financing to bring our products into commercial operation, finance working capital, provide for operating expenses and capital expenditures, and repay the subordinated secured promissory note. We intend to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt; and through the negotiation of strategic relationships that may provide funding as a result of distribution, technology or product development, or licensing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
Our ability to continue as a going concern and the continuation of our business is dependent upon successful and sufficient market acceptance of our current product offerings and any new product offerings that we may introduce, the continuing successful development of our products and related technologies, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities or convertible debt instruments by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors report on the August 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2005. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) would require our Company to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. For public entities that file as a small business issuer, SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. Among other things, the SFAS No. 155 permits the election of fair value remeasurement for certain hybrid financial instruments that would otherwise require bifurcation under Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These hybrid financial instruments would include both assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.
In September 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue 05-7 (EITF 05-7), Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues.
22
According to EITF Issue 96-19, Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, an exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms (or a substantial modification of the terms of existing debt) is deemed tantamount to a debt extinguishment.
In EITF 05-7, the Task Force provides the following additional guidance in the application of EITF 96-19. In determining whether a substantial modification has been made to a convertible debt instrument (and thus whether an extinguishment has occurred), the change in fair value of the related embedded conversion option should be included in the EITF 96-19 analysis, with such change calculated as the difference between the fair values of the option immediately before and after the modification. The modification of a convertible debt instrument should affect subsequent recognition of interest expense with respect to changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion option. A new beneficial conversion feature should not be recognized nor should an existing one be reassessed upon modification to a convertible debt instrument (i.e., the only value associated with the modification of the embedded conversion option to be accounted for should be the change in its fair value). The foregoing consensus is effective for future modifications of debt instruments beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period commencing after December 15, 2005, with early application permitted.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN No. 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect, if any, of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on the financial statements.
The company has not yet determined the effect of future implementation of these new standards on our consolidated financial statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We have accumulated a deficit of approximately of $10,249,000 from the inception of Bulldog Technologies (BC) through May 31, 2006. In the long-term, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. We have historically satisfied our working capital needs primarily by issuing equity and debt securities. As of May 31, 2006, we had cash and short-term investments of $659,000. In July 2006, we executed a $750,000 subordinated secured promissory note with an investment group that provides for the repayment of principal and accrued interest on September 28, 2006. We intend to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt; and through the negotiation of strategic relationships that may provide funding as a result of distribution, technology or product development, or licensing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Research and development
All costs pertaining to research and development are charged to expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when products are shipped, the title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue generated through the provision of consulting services is recognized as the services are provided.
Stock Compensation
Prior to recent financings, to conserve cash, we engaged in a number of transactions where we have used our common stock as consideration for services or in settlement of debt and payables. In such situations, the value attributable to the service or debt settlement is largely determined based on the quoted market price of our common
23
stock around the respective agreement dates. To the extent we may offer stock to consultants at a discount to the quoted market price in settlement of debt, a loss is recognized in our Statement of Operations.
Stock Options
We apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for all stock option plans. Under APB Opinion 25, compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted to employees when the option price is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and disclosure, requires our Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income as if compensation cost for our stock option plans had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. To provide the required pro forma information, we estimate the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We have elected to continue to account for stock based compensation to employees under APB No. 25.
We apply SFAS No. 123 in valuing options granted to consultants and estimate the fair value of such options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recorded as consulting expense as services are provided. Options granted to consultants for which vesting is contingent based on future performance are measured at their then current fair value at each period end, until vested.
The Black-Scholes calculation uses assumptions and estimates, the determination of which is subject to managements judgment. Such assumptions upon which the calculation is based are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Warrants issued with Registration Rights
We issued warrants subject to registration rights as part of our 2006 and 2005 private placements of convertible notes and the 2004 private placement of shares in our common stock. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) 00-19, the value attributable to such warrants are to be presented as a liability on our balance sheet until the earlier of the date the subject warrants are exercised, expired or the date which is two years following the effective date of the respective registration statements covering the 2005 and 2004 private placements.
We value the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on expected fair value at the issuance date. On a quarterly basis, the warrants are revalued with the resultant change in value being reflected as a gain or loss on our statement of operations. At May 31, 2006, the value recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in respect of the warrants was approximately $2,843,000. Upon exercise or cancellation of the warrants, a pro rata amount of the liability will be reclassified to equity at the Black-Scholes value on that date.
As discussed above, the Black-Scholes calculation uses assumptions and estimates, the determination of which is subject to managements judgment. Such assumptions upon which the calculation is based are disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
The valuation of the warrants and stock options is calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model which is sensitive to the volatility and market price of the shares. The variables used in the Black Scholes option pricing model as at May 31, 2006 are the risk free rate: 4.14%-4.72%; volatility: 186%; dividend rate : 0%; and expected life of 3.10 to 5.00 years.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful life using the straight-line and declining-balance methods. Long-lived assets used by our Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We continuously evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated fair value of such long-lived assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing. If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we may face. The Company believes that this filing contains forward-looking
24
statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to regulatory and political uncertainties in those markets where the Company may sell its product; and risks related to the performance and acceptance of the Companys technology and products. Such statements are based on managements current expectations and are subject to facts that could cause results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. For further information, you are encouraged to review the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended August 31, 2005, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended November 30, 2005 and February 28, 2006. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information contained in this filing.
We have issued convertible notes and share purchase warrants, and our obligations under the convertible notes and the warrants pose risks to the price of our common stock and our continuing operations.
On February 24, 2006, we issued convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, which mature on August 24, 2007. In September 2005, we issued convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,100,000, which will mature on August 29, 2010. The convertible notes provide that the holder of the notes may convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock. We also have the option of paying interest on the notes in shares of our common stock. The purchasers of the convertible notes also hold an aggregate of 2,792,453 share purchase warrants. The placement agent received 166,415 share purchase warrants in connection with the private placement on August 29, 2005. In addition, we agreed to issue additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,307,547 of our common stock to the four (4) accredited investors who participated in the private placement on August 29, 2005.
The terms and conditions of the convertible notes and the share purchase warrants pose unique and special risks to our continuing operations and the price of our common stock. Some of those risks are outlined below.
The holders of the convertible notes have the option of converting the convertible notes into shares of our common stock, and we may elect to make principal repayments and/or interest payments under the convertible notes in shares of our common stock. The holders of the convertible notes may also exercise their common share purchase warrants. If the convertible notes are converted or the share purchase warrants are exercised, the debt outstanding will be reduced, however, there will be dilution of your shares of our common stock and you will own a smaller percentage of the Company.
The issuance of shares of our common stock as a result of (i) conversion of principal repayments on the convertible notes, or the payment of related interest in lieu of cash, and/or (ii) the exercise of the share purchase warrants, will result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock.
The principal amount of the convertible notes may be converted at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a set price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions as set forth in each of the convertible notes. In addition, we may elect to make principal repayments on the convertible notes issued on February 24, 2006 or interest payments on all of the convertible notes in shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the then current market price, which is equal to 90% of the closing sale price of our Companys common stock for the twenty (20) day period immediately prior to the date of the principal repayment or interest payment for the notes issued on February 24, 2006 and the closing sale price of our Companys common stock (or if no closing sale prices are reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices) for the twenty (20) day period immediately prior to the date of the interest payment for the notes issued on August 29, 2005.
Each convertible note and each share purchase warrant is subject to anti-dilution protection upon the occurrence of certain events. If, among other things, we offer, sell or otherwise dispose of or issue any of our common stock (or any equity, debt or other instrument that is at any time over its life convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock) at an effective price per share that is less than the conversion price of the convertible note or the exercise price of the share purchase warrant, the conversion price of the convertible notes or the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to a price which is equal to that lower effective price.
25
The convertible notes provide for various events of default that would entitle the holders to require us to immediately repay the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in cash. If an event of default occurs, we may be unable to immediately repay the amount owed, and any repayment may leave us with little or no working capital in our business.
We will be considered in default of the convertible notes if any of the following events, among others, occurs:
Notes Issued on August 29, 2005:
· we fail to pay any amount due under any of the convertible notes within fifteen (15) days of any notice sent to us by the holder of the convertible note that we are in default of our obligation to pay;
· we fail to comply with any of the other agreements contained in the convertible notes or other related agreements after we are given ten (10) days written notice of such non-compliance;
· any representation, warranty, certificate or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of our company in connection with the convertible note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect;
· we (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian over our company or our assets; (ii) are unable to pay our debts as they mature; (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors; (iv) are dissolved or liquidated in whole or in part; or (v) we or someone else commences a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding;
· we breach any of our obligations under any other bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness involving an amount exceeding $1,000,000; or
· one or more judgments for the payment of money in an amount in excess of $1,500,000 are rendered against our company, which judgments shall remain undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days.
Notes Issued on February 24, 2006:
· we fail to pay any amount due under any of the convertible notes immediately;
· we fail to comply with any of the other agreements contained in the convertible notes or other related agreements after we are given twenty (20) days notice of such non-compliance;
· any representation, warranty, certificate or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of our company in connection with the convertible note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect;
· we (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian over our company or our assets; (ii) are unable to pay our debts as they mature; (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors; (iv) are dissolved or liquidated in whole or in part; or (v) we or someone else commences a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceeding;
· we breach any of our obligations under any other bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness involving an amount exceeding $500,000;
· our common stock is not listed or quoted on a trading market for five (5) or more trading days;
· we fail to deliver a share certificate within five (5) trading days after delivery of such certificate is required;
· we fail to have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares available to issue upon conversion of the notes;
· we effect or publicly announce our intentions to effect any exchange recapitalization or other transaction that effectively rewards or requires physical delivery of share certificates; or
· the effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed in connection with the notes issued on February 24, 2006 lapses for five or more trading days.
If an event of default occurs, the holders of the convertible notes can elect to require us to pay all of the outstanding principal amount, plus all other accrued and unpaid amounts under the convertible notes.
26
Some of the events of default include matters over which we may have some, little or no control. If a default occurs and we cannot pay the amounts payable under any of the convertible notes in cash (including any interest on such amounts and any applicable late fees under the convertible notes), the holders of the notes may protect and enforce their rights or remedies either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, agreement or other provision contained in the convertible notes, in the related securities purchase agreement or in any document or instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to the convertible notes, or to enforce the payment of the outstanding convertible notes or any other legal or equitable right or remedy. This would have an adverse effect on our continuing operations, including the potential to go out of business.
All of our assets are secured and consequently if we default on the convertible notes and the promissory note, our continued operation will be adversely affected, including the risk that the Company could go out of business.
We are financing our operations primarily through the issuance of the equity and debt securities, including the convertible notes. The convertible notes have been secured primarily by all of our assets. If we default on any of these convertible notes, the holders would be entitled to seize all of our assets and take control of our business which events would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock could encourage short sales by the holders of the convertible notes or by others. Such short sales may in turn place additional downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
The convertible notes do not contain any restrictions on short selling. Accordingly, any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the noteholders sell shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the noteholders or others, subject to applicable securities laws. In turn, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by way of short sales could further depress the market price of our stock.
In an ordinary or uncovered short sale, a selling stockholder causes his or her executing broker to borrow the shares to be delivered at the completion of the sale from another broker, subject to an agreement to return them upon request, thereby avoiding the need to deliver any shares actually owned by the selling stockholder on the settlement date for the sale. Since the selling stockholder does not own the shares that are sold, the selling stockholder must subsequently purchase an equivalent number of shares in the market to complete or cover the transaction. The selling stockholder will realize a profit if the market price of the shares declines after the time of the short sale, but will incur a loss if the market price rises and he or she is forced to buy the replacement shares at a higher price. Accordingly, a declining trend in the market price of our common stock may stimulate short sales.
Assuming that the holders of the convertible notes and share purchase warrants convert their convertible notes or exercise their share purchase warrants, there will be substantial dilution of your shares of our common stock.
As disclosed above, the holders of the convertible notes may ultimately convert the full amount of the convertible notes and exercise all of their outstanding share purchase warrants and we may elect to pay the quarterly interest payments in shares of our common stock. This will result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock and, consequently, may contribute to a decline in the market price of the Companys common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling security holders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to realize the current trading price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. We had 24,904,787 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2006. In connection with the registration statement filed in connection with the issuance of the February 24, 2006 convertible notes, which was declared effective in March 2006, the selling security holders may convert their convertible notes and exercise their share purchase warrants. Under such circumstances, up to 8,325,318 shares will be added to the number of issued and outstanding shares of our company, not including any shares of common stock that may be issued as interest payments on the convertible notes and not including additional shares which may be issuable as a result of any adjustments that may be made to the conversion price of the notes or the exercise price of the warrants. As a result of this registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock may be issued and may be available for resale, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
To the extent any of the selling security holders convert any of their convertible notes or exercise any of their share purchase warrants, and then resell the shares of common stock issued to them upon such conversion or
27
exercise, as applicable, the price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares of common stock in the market.
Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling security holders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
We have had negative cash flows from operations. Our business operations may fail if our actual cash requirements exceed our estimates, and we are not able to obtain further financing.
Our Company has had negative cash flows from operations as we have not yet generated significant revenues. To date, we have incurred significant expenses in product development and administration in order to ready our products for market. Our business plan calls for additional significant expenses necessary to bring our BOSSTM systems to market.
We have estimated that we will require approximately $3.9 million to fund our ongoing operating expenses, and working capital requirements for the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2007. In August 2005 and February 2006 we completed convertible note financings resulting in gross proceeds of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In July 2006, we executed a $750,000 subordinated secured promissory note with an investment group that provides for the repayment of principal and accrued interest on September 28, 2006. Although we commenced generating revenues from the sale of our BOSSTM systems during the six months ended May 31, 2006, we will be unable to generate sufficient sales revenues to meet our operating expenses for the foreseeable future or repay our convertible notes or promissory notes. Accordingly, until we achieve positive operating cash flow generated through the generation of substantial sales, we will require additional financing to bring our products into commercial operation, finance working capital, provide for operating expenses and capital expenditures, and repay the convertible notes and subordinated secured promissory note. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:
· we incur unexpected costs in completing the development of our technology or encounter any unexpected technical or other difficulties;
· we incur delays and additional expenses as a result of technology failure;
· we are unable to create a substantial market for our product and services; or
· we incur any significant unanticipated expenses.
We intend to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and/or debt; and through the negotiation of strategic relationships that may provide funding as a result of distribution, technology or product development, or licensing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms that are favourable to us or in sufficient amounts to satisfy our requirements. If we require, but are unable to obtain, additional financing in the future, we will be unable to implement our business plan and our growth strategies, respond to changing business or economic conditions, withstand adverse operating results, and compete effectively. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible notes and promissory note, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products, implement our marketing plans and continue our current operations. If the stock price declines, there can be no assurance that we can raise additional capital sufficient to meet our obligations and as a result we may be forced to scale down or even cease our operations.
If we issue additional shares in the future this may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares up to the authorized
28
capital stated in the certificate of incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to obtain additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. It will also cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
There is a high risk of business failure due to the fact that we have not commenced significant commercial operations.
Although we are in the initial stages of production of the BOSSTM systems, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop sales of our systems. Thus we have no way of evaluating whether we will be able to operate the business successfully, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations.
You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered in developing and commercializing new industrial products and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the commercialization process that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to development, manufacture and financing of the BOSSTM systems products. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We have a history of losses and negative cash flows, which is likely to continue unless our products gain sufficient market acceptance to generate a commercially viable level of sales.
From inception through May 31, 2006, we have incurred aggregate net losses of $10,249,000, including a loss incurred for the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 of $4,055,000 and for the year ended August 31, 2005 of $3.6 million. We expect losses will continue. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as market acceptance of our products, the unpredictability of when customers will order products, the size of customers orders, the demand for our products, and the level of competition and general economic conditions.
To date, we have not yet generated any significant revenues. We have generated limited revenues from the sales of our products during the nine month period ended May 31, 2006 as well as revenues in fiscal year 2005 derived from incidental consulting services. We ceased our consulting services upon the closure of our office in Boulder, Colorado. If our revenues from sales increase, we expect to incur an increase in development and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and net cash outflow for the foreseeable future unless and until our existing products, and/or any new products that we may develop, gain market acceptance sufficient to generate a commercially viable and sustainable level of sales.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors report on the August 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Unless we can establish significant sales of our current products, our potential revenues may be significantly reduced.
Our future revenue will be derived from the sale of our BOSSTM security products. The successful introduction and broad market acceptance of our BOSSTM products - as well as the development, introduction and market acceptance of any future enhancements - are, therefore, critical to our future success and our ability to generate revenues. Unfortunately, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in marketing our current product offerings, or any new product offerings, applications or enhancements. Failure to achieve broad market acceptance of our security products, as a result of competition, technological change, or otherwise, would significantly harm our business.
Substantially all our assets and officers, and certain of our directors, are located outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.
Substantially all of our assets are held by our subsidiary, Bulldog Technologies (BC), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. Consequently, most of our officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or
29
our officers, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under United States federal securities laws against our officers.
We operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.
There are companies offering products which may compete directly with BOSSTM systems, and it is anticipated that larger, better-financed companies will develop products similar or superior to the BOSSTM systems. Such competition will potentially affect our chances of achieving profitability, and ultimately adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
We could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to protect any proprietary technology and intellectual property rights against infringement, and any related litigation could be time-consuming and costly.
Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree on our proprietary technology incorporated in our BOSSTM systems. Our Company has been granted a patent in the United States, and has filed an international application claiming priority from the United States patent with the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization under the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT), for the invention of our continuous feedback security system for cargo containers. The PCT patent application is in good standing and is currently pending. We also own the domain name www.bulldog-tech.com. We have not taken any other action to protect our proprietary technology and proprietary computer software. If any of our competitors copies or otherwise gains access to our proprietary technology or software, or develops similar technologies independently, we would not be able to compete as effectively.
We also consider our trademarks invaluable to our ability to continue to develop and maintain the goodwill and recognition associated with our brand. We are planning to register the trademarks Bulldog Technologies, Road BOSS and Yard BOSS in Canada and in the United States.
These and any other measures that we may take to protect our intellectual property rights, which presently are based upon a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, may not be adequate to prevent their unauthorised use. Further, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of such intellectual property rights. We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources. In addition, notwithstanding any rights we have secured in our intellectual property, other persons may bring claims against us that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, including claims based upon the content we license from third parties or claims that our intellectual property right interests are not valid. Any claims against us, with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources, result in the loss of goodwill associated with our service marks or require us to make changes to our website or other of our technologies.
Our products may become obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to respond adequately to rapidly changing technology and customer demands.
Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology, evolving industry standards and customer demands. As a result, our products may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable, including ours. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, develop new products and enhance our current products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, our products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products or enhanced versions of existing products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced services to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favourably received. If we are not able to adapt our current products to technological advances or to develop and introduce new products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources may be strained.
As we proceed with the commercialization and sale of our products, we expect to experience significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business. We will need to add staff to market our services, manage operations, handle sales and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions. We will be required to
30
hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully advance our operations. This growth is likely to place a strain on our management and operational resources. The failure to develop and implement effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of Securities Dealers. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the Companys operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commissions penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. (the NASD) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being May 31, 2006. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Companys management, including our Companys Chief Executive Officer, who is the Principal Executive Officer, and our Corporate Controller, who is the Principal Accounting and Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Corporate Controller concluded that our Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Companys reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Companys reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Companys Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Controller as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
32
Other than as set forth below, we know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
On June 21, 2001, Reliability Engineering Associates Limited commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry No. S013516) against Bulldog Technologies (BC) Inc. claiming CDN$85,600 (for a design fee of CDN$80,000 plus goods and services tax), $12,198 (on account of delay costs), general damages, special damages, court ordered interest and costs for services performed pursuant to a written agreement dated for reference October 30, 2000. On October 17, 2001, Bulldog Technologies (BC) filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. Bulldog Technologies (BC)s defense alleges that the services were not performed or were performed negligently or inadequately and as a result no monies are owing to Reliability. Bulldog Technologies (BC)s counterclaim alleges that since Reliability did not provide the services contracted for, it should return 200,000 shares that we issued to Reliability in advance towards payment. Accordingly, we are seeking an order that Reliability return 200,000 shares of our common stock or, alternatively, that the shares be cancelled; in the alternative, damages for breach of contract; costs and court ordered interest. On February 8, 2005, Reliability commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry No. S050718) against our company claiming damages for conversion and punitive damages for failing to deliver the shares that form the subject matter of the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia under Vancouver Registry No. S013516. In May 2006, these matters were settled as evidenced by a Settlement Agreement dated May 9, 2006 executed by the parties whereby Bulldog Technologies (BC) agreed to pay Reliability CDN$22,500 and Reliability agreed to return 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Bulldog Technologies (BC) remitted to Reliability a check for CDN$22,500 on April 25, 2006 and Reliability returned 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock on June 2, 2006.
On April 8, 2004, we commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Registry No. S042363) against Reidar Ostensen and Stargate Industries Ltd. We claim: (i) damages arising from the breach of an agreement made in or about February 2000 between Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) Inc. and Reidar Ostensen, whereby Reidar Ostensen promised, among other things, to provide certain services to Bulldog Technologies (Nevada), including but not limited to serving as an officer and director of Bulldog Technologies (Nevada), in exchange for receiving 150,000 shares of common stock of Bulldog Technologies (Nevada); (ii) conversion of certain property belonging to Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) by Reidar Ostensen to his own use; and (iii) defamation. A Statement of Defence and Counterclaim was filed on July 23, 2004. The Statement of Defence alleges that the defendants were entitled to the shares, along with other shares issued by Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) to Reidar Ostensen in the name of Roseg Management Ltd., and that representations were made by Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) that the defendants would be entitled to an exchange of their shares of Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) for shares of our Company upon completion of the merger between Bulldog Technologies (Nevada) and our company and that the defendants consented to the merger in reliance of that representation. The Counterclaim of the defendants alleges that our company is in breach of the merger agreement and has caused loss and damage to the defendants. We filed a Statement of Defence to the Counterclaim on August 25, 2004. We believe that there is no substantive merit to the claims made by the defendants and we intend to vigorously defend the action.
In early May 2004, Ronald G. Cranfield put our Company on notice that he is contemplating measures to enforce an oral agreement that he claims he has entered into with us. Mr. Cranfield commenced an action against Bulldog BC and its President, John Cockburn, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, New Westminster Registry File Number S95050, on October 25, 2005. Mr. Cranfield alleges breach of a written contract dated June 11, 2001, and subsequent addenda dated December 11, 2001, March 25, 2002, June 11, 2002, October 11, 2002, January 10, 2003 and January 13, 2003. Mr. Cranfield is seeking, among other things, issuance to himself of 82,000 shares in the capital stock of our company and grant to his company, R.G.C. & Associates Travel Ltd., of exclusive distribution rights of our Companys products in Japan and Korea. On February 1, 2006, a Consent Dismissal Order was granted dismissing the action against John Cockburn, as a prior agreement between the parties bars an action against Mr. Cockburn. Our Company has filed an Appearance to the action and on January 17, 2006 filed a Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. In our Counterclaim, we seek damages for breach of contract by Mr. Cranfield, for failing to provide fundraising services to our Company. On May 9, 2006, the matter was settled and the parties entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement. In consideration of this agreement,
33
Bulldog BC agreed to issue 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock, subject to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act. The 50,000 shares were issued to Cranfield on June 21, 2006.
On December 20, 2004, 635002 B.C. Ltd. commenced an action against our Company in the Provincial Court of British Columbia (Small Claims Court), Richmond Registry File Number 204-18983. 635002 B.C. alleges breach of contract in connection with a Display Rental Agreement dated May 19, 2000 between Sign-O-Lite, Division of 32262 B.C. Ltd. and our Company, which agreement was assigned by Sign-O-Lite to 635002 B.C. 635002 B.C. is suing for a total debt of $1,443. We filed a Reply to the Notice of Claim on January 4, 2005. The trial was originally scheduled to be heard on November 29, 2005; however, the trial had to be adjourned at the request of the claimant. We paid $749 to the claimant to settle the action on March 27, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 1, 2006, we issued 20,499 shares of common stock to four (4) accredited investors as interest payments on convertible notes issued on August 29, 2005. We issued the shares to accredited investors (as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933) relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On March 3, 2006, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to an investor upon the investors conversion of $100,000 of a $600,000 convertible note. We issued the shares relying on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On March 8, 2006, we issued 129,000 shares of common stock to an investor upon the investors conversion of $129,000 of a $600,000 convertible note. We issued the shares relying on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.
