NOTE 5 – ROYALTIES PAYABLE

Pursuant to the licenses with ScopeOut® license called for $150,000 to be paid over two years (paid) along with a royalty of 10% of wholesale price for each ScopeOut® unit sold, but not less than $2.00 per unit. In order to maintain the exclusive license for the ScopeOut® products, in accordance with the license agreement with Palowmar Industries, LLC, we are required to pay royalties to the licensor based on the following minimum quantities of units sold:

30,000 units per year beginning in years 1-2

60,000 units per year beginning in years 3-4

100,000 units per year beginning in years 5 and above.

During 2010, the Company re-negotiated the exclusive license agreement with the Scope Out® inventor. All prior minimum royalties were eliminated, and accordingly, the Company recorded $602,907 additional capital for a related party write-off.

Prepaid royalties payable under the new license are $5,000 per month for twelve months commencing September 1, 2010. The new agreement also calls for a 5% royalty with a $.75 per unit maximum “minimum royalty” to retain exclusivity with the following volumes:

End of calendar year containing the second anniversary:	30,000 units
End of calendar year containing the third anniversary:	60,000 units
End of calendar year containing the fourth anniversary:	110,000 units
End of calendar year containing the fifth anniversary and thereafter:	125,000 units

No royalties are currently accrued as we have not yet reached the end of the calendar year containing the second anniversary.

Such “calendar year” commencing the minimum royalties to retain exclusivity is the first year within which an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and/or Tier 1 manufacturer sub-licenses the Scope Out® product.

For any sub-licenses of the product, royalties are shared as follows:

OEM/Tier 1 Supplier Sub Licensor: 65% Sense Technologies

35% Inventor

Any other Sub-Licensor: 50% Sense Technologies

50% Inventor

The current royalties accrued for Scope Out royalties are $nil as of August 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015.

Pursuant to the Guardian Alert licenses, we are required to make royalty payments to the licensors and meet sales targets as follows:

$6.00(US) per unit on the first one million units sold;

thereafter, the greater of $4.00(US) per unit sold or 6% of the wholesale selling price on units sold; and

50% of any fees paid to Sense in consideration for tooling, redesign, technical or aesthetic development or, should the licensors receive a similar fee, the licensors will pay 50% to Sense.

In order to retain the exclusive right to this license we incurred minimum royalty fees. Because we were unable to pay these fees, we accrued the royalties as a payable. Royalties accruals were ceased in 2004 and rights of exclusivity were forfeited. Royalties payable to Guardian Alert are $480,000 and $480,000 as of August 31, 2015 and February 28, 2015, respectively.
