ATTACHMENT SCHEDULES TO
 
SCHEDULE 5 “PURCHASER WARRANTIES”
 
OF THE ACQUSITION AGREEMENT DATED MARCH 26, 2007
 
Schedule 1.12
 
The Purchaser believes that not all returns, particulars, resolutions and documents required to be filed with any authority in the United States of America, or any other authority, in respect of the Purchaser have been duly filed within the relevant time limits and were true, accurate and correct in all material respects. See the Purchaser’s SEC Reports, including but not limited to Note 2 to the Purchaser’s Financial Statements filed as part of the Purchaser’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on February 13, 2007, relating to the Purchaser’s treatment of “income taxes”. Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not. To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, the Purchaser’s failure to file, if any, of the returns, particulars, resolutions and documents required to be filed with any authority in the United States of America, or any other authority, if applicable, will not cause a material adverse effect on the Purchaser.
 
In addition, the Purchaser did not file within the applicable time periods its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the nine months ended July 31, 2006.
 
Schedule 2.6
 
See the Purchaser’s SEC Reports, including but limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on February 13, 2007.
 
Schedule 4.6
 
The British Columbia Securities Commission (“BC Commission”) issued to MDMI Technologies Inc. (“MDMI”) an Investigation Order (the “Investigation Order”) on February 28, 2005 and a Cease Trade Order (the “Trade Order”; the Trader Order and Investigation Order shall be collectively referred to as the “Orders”) on June 15, 2005, on MDMI’s privately traded securities. The Purchaser believes that the Orders were issued as a result of MDMI’s failure to file a Report of Exempt Distribution and possibly various other reports with the BC Commission. The Purchaser further believes that if MDMI fails to resolve the issues with respect to the Orders, and until the BC Commission revokes the Orders, its results and operations may be significantly impacted as a result of it having an exclusive license agreement with MDMI pursuant to which it acquired the exclusive worldwide license, right and permission to manufacture, market, and distribute a medical pessary device for the treatment of urinary incontinence called the “Gynecone”, and a manufacturing agreement with MDMI under the terms of which the Purchaser agreed for an indefinite term to purchase products developed by MDMI according to its specifications at a price of $10 per urinary incontinence apparatus unit produced. As described in the Recent Corporation Developments section and “Plan of Operations” section of the Purchaser’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Purchaser’s current plan of operation is to develop and market the Gynecone device and secure agreements and/or working relationships with potential distributors of the Gynecone device. If aforementioned results in a serious constraint on MDMI’s ability to finance their business and operations and impair their ability to continue as a going concern, the Purchaser’s ability plan of operation will be

impaired and its results of operations and its financial position will be significantly impacted, and it maybe forced to cease its operations.
