SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of presentation
These
interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The functional currency of Novus is the Canadian Dollar.
The
interim consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results in accordance with
General Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), have been included and properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Novus and its wholly owned subsidiaries D&R
Technologies Inc and D&R Tools Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Uses
of Estimates
The
preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Financial statement items subject to significant judgment include expense accruals, as well as income taxes and loss contingencies.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include,
but are not limited to:
Assets’
carrying values and impairment charges
Assets,
including property and equipment and inventory, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that their carrying amount exceeds their recoverable amounts. In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges,
management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence,
significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual
assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Income
taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets
In
assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future
taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the
likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments,
management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable
income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company
considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s
ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the
relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear
or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially
affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the
tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.
Warranty
provision
In
assessing the warranty provision, management makes estimates related to expectations of future repair cost needed to service new
seat frame sales under its two year warranty terms. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management
make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period

accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”
the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts
or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying
amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
Regulatory
Matters
The
Company is subject to a variety of federal, provincial and state regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental
matters. The Company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s accounts are insured for $100,000
CDN by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation for Canadian bank deposits
and are insured
for $250,000 by FDIC for US bank deposits

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Factoring
Agreement and Accounts Receivable
The
Company has a financing agreement that included a non-recourse factoring arrangement that provides nonrecourse factoring on the
Company’s receivable from its primary customer Johnson Controls, Inc. to assist in its operational cash flow requirements.
The factor is based on credit approved orders, assumes the accounts receivable risk of the Company’s customer in the event
of insolvency or non-payment. The Company assumes the risk on accounts receivable not factored to which is shown as accounts receivable
on the accompanying balance sheets. As of September 30,2017, the Company had $297,587 of factored receivables. There were no factored
receivables at December 31, 2016.Finance charges associated with the sale of factored receivable for the nine months ended September
30, 2017 and 2016 were $6,018 and $1,117 and are included in office and general expense.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s
best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines
the allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
Management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established. Although
management believes that the allowance is adequate, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect
to accounts receivable could change. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has not deemed any accounts uncollectible.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Cost of work in progress and
finished goods includes raw materials, direct labor and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company’s inventory balance at
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was comprised of work-in-progress. This policy requires D&R to make estimates regarding
the market value of our inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventory. The Company determines excess and
obsolete inventory based on an estimate of the future demand and estimated selling prices for its products.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis reflective of the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and betterments are capitalized. When assets
are retired or disposed, the asset’s original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and
any gain or loss is reflected in income.

Foreign
Currency Translation
Gains
and losses arising upon settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination
of income. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into
Canadian dollars then translated into U.S. dollars for reporting in accordance with the ASC 830-30 as follows:
●
For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date shall be used.
●
For revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, the exchange rate at the dates on which those elements are recognized shall be used.
Translation
adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, which comprise cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll
liabilities, loan payable, taxes payable and due to officers/shareholders, approximate their fair values due to the immediate
or short-term maturity of these instruments. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure
to foreign currency risk.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
authoritative guidance for fair values establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring
fair value. Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than
quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs
in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Income
Taxes
Potential
benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted
ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute
tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized
in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will be able to utilize the
net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Recorded
in other (income) and expenses are monies recovered relating to non-refundable, federal government Scientific Research & Experimental
Development (“SR&ED”) tax credits. Due to the uncertain nature of these expenditures, the Company does not record
any amount until such time as the deduction is approved by Canadian provincial and federal governments. SR&ED expenditures
relating to 2016 taxation year were applied to recover previously paid taxes for which the Company obtained approval and received
the requisite funds in the first quarter of 2017.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. No advertising costs have been incurred by the Company to date.

D&R
provides standard warranties for its product from the date of shipment. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time
of sale. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time of sale and amortized over the two year warranty period. As of
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, warranty liability was $11,267 and $8,885.
Earnings
per Common Share
Net
income per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. We present basic income per share
(“EPS”) and diluted EPS the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported net income
(loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except
where the result would be anti-diluted to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share would be computed assuming
the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock
warrants. Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year.
Comprehensive
Income
The
Company has adopted ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and the display of
comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in
equity except those resulting from investments by owners or distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220 requires
that all items that are required to be recognized under the current accounting standards as a component of comprehensive income
be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income
(loss) is displayed in the balance sheet as a component of shareholders’ equity.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company evaluated the following recent accounting updates and are evaluating the potential impact upon adoption:
●
ASU 2015-02 related to amendments for consolidation analysis
●
ASU 2015-14 related to deferral of effective date for new revenue recognition standard

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND PROMISSORY NOTE
The
convertible notes payable to Berardino Paolucci, CEO, are unsecured, due on demand, accrue interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum,
and are convertible into shares of our restricted common stock at the rate of $0.005 per share. During fiscal 2014, the Company
repaid $176,599 to the assigned note holder. As at March 31, 2017, interest in the amount of $Nil (December 31, 2016 -$Nil) was
owing.
During
the first quarter of 2016, it was determined that as of the date of the reverse merger and recapitalization between Ecoland and
D&R Technologies Inc. on January 27, 2012, there were certain inaccuracies regarding the amounts recorded as owing on the
convertible notes payable that were assigned to Mr. Paolucci. These notes were converted for 75,733 common shares in January 2015.
Upon making this determination, Mr. Paolucci terminated the transaction, returned his shares to treasury for cancellation and
reinstated the convertible notes payable under the terms and conditions referenced above. This reversal of the transaction is
deemed to have occurred in 2015 for accounting purposes and the outstanding principal and accrued interest payable on the aforementioned
notes have been adjusted to reflect the correct balances owing at December 31, 2015.
On
September 7, 2016, Mr. Paolucci sold a portion notes including interest to a third party. On October 18, 2016, the third party
converted $25,000 of the principal of the note in exchange for 5,000,000 common shares.
On
December 31, 2016, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Paolucci a $100,000 promissory note bearing interest at an annual rate of 8%
per annum, due on demand in exchange for him forgoing the ability to convert the remaining balance of the convertible debenture
totaling $12,825 and accrued interest of $3,052 into 2,616,000 common shares. As a result of this transaction, Novus recorded
a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $84,123. The note was repaid in the second quarter of 2017. As at September 30,
2017, interest in the amount of $2,000 (December 31, 2016 - $Nil) was owing and is included in the accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
On
October 26, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of one for three hundred reverse stock split of the Company’s
total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was affected on January 21, 2016 and reduced the
total number of issued and outstanding common shares from 88,650,000 to 296,641. The resultant decrease in the value attributed
to the common stock was transferred to Additional Paid In Capital (“APIC”) in the amount of $88,354. All share and
related stock option information presented in these consolidated financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to the reduced
number of shares resulting from this transaction.
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into common stock, has all of the voting rights that the
holders of the common shares and has the ability to elect three directors.
The
Series B Preferred Stock (’Series B’) has voting rights whose holders must vote together with the common stock. Each
Series B share has the same number of votes equal to 5,000 common shares and in the event of a stock split, share dividend or
otherwise for the common shares will retain this voting proportion.
On
February 25, 2016, the Company approved the purchase of materials relating to the design, construction and operation of robots
in automation for medical and surgical purposes valued at $50,000 from Mr. Dino Paolucci, a board member as well as President
and CEO and Mr. Drasko Karanovic, a board member, both being related parties, in exchange for 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares
and 49,000,000 common shares. The acquired technology was previously held by individuals who also have majority control the Company,
resulting in the Company recording the transaction at cost. As such, no value was assigned to the technology purchased and the
par value of shares issued was charged against additional paid-in capital.
As
referenced in Note 4, on October 18, 2016, $25,000 of the principal of the convertible note payable was converted in exchange
for 5,000,000 common shares.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
We
were formed in the State of Nevada on June 24, 2005 under the name Guano Distributors, Inc. Prior to our incorporation, on April
15, 2005, David Wallace, our then-chief executive officer, chief financial officer and sole director, formed Guano Distributors
(Pty) Ltd., a South African registered company, for the purpose of selling Dry-Bar Cave bat guano. On May 15, 2005, Mr. Wallace
transferred all of his ownership interest in Guano Distributors (Pty) Ltd. to us. On June 28, 2006, we amended our Articles of
Incorporation to change our name to Ecoland International, Inc.
Please
note that throughout this Quarterly Report, and unless otherwise noted, the words “we,” “our,” “us,”
the “Company,” or “Novus Robotics,” refers to Novus Robotics Inc.
Share
Exchange Agreement
Ecoland
International, Inc., now known as Novus Robotics Inc., D&R Technology Inc., a private corporation (“D&R Technology”)
and, Berardino Paolucci and Drasko Karanovic, the shareholders of D&R Technology Inc. (the “D&R Shareholders”)
entered into that certain share exchange agreement dated January 27, 2012 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Our Board
of Directors approved the execution and consummation of the transaction under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 1, 2012.
In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 59,000,000 pre-Reverse
Stock Split shares of our restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders (which consisted of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic
and D Mecatronics, which is holding the shares for the benefit of the remaining shareholders of D&R Technology) in exchange
for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R Technology its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Our Board of Directors deemed it in the best interests of our shareholders to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant
to which it would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of D&R Technology. This resulted in a change
in control and our overall business operations thus bringing potential value to our shareholders. D&R Technology was previously
the wholly-owned subsidiary of D Mecatronics Inc., a Delaware corporation. On approximately November 10, 2011, D Mecatronics spun-off
D&R Technology. D&R Technology subsequently issued shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics
on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective equity holdings in D Mecatronics. The equity percentages regarding the
issuance of shares by D&R Technology were 48% to Berardino Paolucci, 24% to Drasko Karanovic and 28% to various shareholders
(which shares were previously held by D Mecatronics on behalf of these shareholders).
Escrow
Agreement.
On June 4, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain escrow agreement dated June 4,
2013 (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Manhattan Transfer Registrar Co., our transfer agent (“Manhattan Transfer”).
As disclosed in previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on approximately November 10, 2011, D Mecatronics
Inc. (“D Mecatronics”) spun-off our wholly-owned subsidiary, D&R Technology. D&R Technology subsequently issued
shares of its restricted common stock to the shareholders of D Mecatronics on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective
equity holdings in D Mecatronics. The equity percentages regarding the issuance of shares by D&R Technology were 48% to Berardino
Paolucci, 24% to Drasko Karanovic and 28% to various shareholders (which shares were being held by D Mecatronics on behalf of
these shareholders). The transfer agent for D Mecatronics at the time of the spin-off was Global Sentry Equity Transfer Inc. (“Global
Sentry”). At the time of the spin-off, management of D Mecatronics had attempted on several occasions to contact Global
Sentry with regards to its shareholder list and records. However, any and all attempts were to no avail. To date, D Mecatronics
has not been able to obtain any of its records, including a shareholders list, from Global Sentry. Management has no knowledge
or information as to the whereabouts of Global Sentry or its management nor of the location of its records and shareholders list.
This has impeded the issuance of the shares of D&R Technology to the appropriate 28% minority shareholders of D Mecatronics
and thus the reason why D Mecatronics was holding the shares in trust for the benefit of its shareholders.
Subsequently,
we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement. Our Board of Directors had approved the execution and consummation of the transaction
under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 1, 2012. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement,
we issued an aggregate of 59,000,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders
(which consisted of Messrs. Paolucci and Karanovic and D Mecatronics, which held the shares for the benefit of the remaining shareholders
of D&R Technology) in exchange for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R
Technology our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Board of Directors deemed it in the best interests of the shareholders to enter into
the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of D&R
Technology.
The
majority shareholders of D&R Technology approved the Share Exchange Agreement as did its Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors of D&R Technology resolved in its board resolutions to issue to D Mecatronics the 16,520,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split
shares to be issued to the missing 28% minority shareholders of D&R Technology (who are also the unknown shareholders of D
Mecatronics). Therefore, D Mecatronics held in trust and for the benefit of its unknown shareholders (and as shareholders of D&R
Technology) the shares to be issued to them by the Company. D Mecatronics is in the process of attempting to locate the transfer
agent in order to obtain its records.
We
are also in the process of locating the missing shareholders of D Mecatronics (and also as shareholders of D&R Technology)
to whom our shares should be issued in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement. Therefore, we
entered into the Escrow Agreement. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement, D Mecatronics returned
to Manhattan Transfer the share certificate evidencing the shares of our common stock issued to it as trustee. A new share certificate
was issued to Manhattan Transfer as trustee in the aggregate denomination of 16,520,000 shares to be held in escrow. Together
with Manhattan Transfer, we created a shareholders list (the “Shareholders List”) indicating each record owner of
the shares. Subsequent to the date of the Escrow Agreement, Manhattan Transfer has released shares to certain of the persons indicated
on the Shareholders List. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Manhattan Transfer has issued approximately 5,331,641 of the
16,520,000 pre-Reverse Stock Split shares held in escrow to the shareholders listed on the Shareholder List.
We
have placed on our website www.novusrobotics.com (which is currently under construction) under “Investor Relations”
contact information to be used by persons/entities that believe they were shareholders of D Mecatronics. Such individuals/entities
should contact our management.

The
financial information in the table above is derived from the quarterly unaudited financial statements. The following discussion
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.
The Corporation’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors
that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with
United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Nine
Month Period Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2016.
We
generated revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 in the amount of $3,450,778 compared to $1,201,139 generated
during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 (an increase of $2,249,639). Major components of the revenue mix for change
from September 30, 2016 to September 30, 2017 are as follows:
|
1.
|
Prototypes
Parts – increased $761,788 for prototypes for Adient/JCI projects.
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Spare
Parts and Services -increased $108,091 for parts required by many customers including JCI, Toyota, PWO Kitchener, Van Rob
Mexico and Adient/JCI- Athens to replace worn parts.
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Retrofit
Systems – decrease of $151,707. We assess old machines and recommend that specified work needs to be done on them. This
includes all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatics as required. We then replace worn parts on old benders overhauled
benders for JCI-Ramos move machines for customers, install additional tooling units on existing benders.
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
Seat
Frame System – increase of $1,543,308. Two machines were sold to Constellium through the first six months of 2017 versus
only one machine sold in 2016.
|
|
|
|
|
5.
|
Medical
robotics, personal robotic devices and water treatment industry. We have not generated revenue from these sources as yet and
will continue to investigate opportunities in these areas to augment our core business.
|
Cost
of sales:
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, cost of sales was $1,743,666 compared to $751,820 during
the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 (an increase of $991,846). The change in products sold in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2017 contributed to an increase in our gross margin over the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Less
work for retrofit systems, where the majority of the costs are borne by the customer, did not assist in offsetting the lower product
margins generated on the sale of seat frames during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Gross
Profit.
Thus, based on the above, our gross profit increased to $1,707,112 during the nine month period ended September 30,
2017 from $449,319 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Operating
expenses:
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $730,983
compared to operating expenses incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 of $574,597 (an increase of $156,386).
Operating expenses include: (i) compensation of $479,292 (2016: $368,799); (ii) occupancy costs of $52,406 (2016: $51,592); (iii)
travel of $55,701 (2016: $27,102); (iv) professional fees of $66,444 (2016: $40,287); (v) communication of $7,102 (2016: $4,319);
and (vi) office and general of $70,037 (2016: $79,139). In respect of compensation, more labor charges were capitalized to the
work in process projects during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine month period ended September
30, 2016 due to the timing and completion of specific projects resulting in an increase of $110,493 being charged in 2017. Travel
increased by $28,599 as we focused on acquiring new customers and opportunities during the nine month period ended September 30,
2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Professional fees increased by $26,157 in the nine month period ended September 30,
2017 as the additional charges associated with our auditors were incurred during this time frame, which we did not incur in 2016.
Office and general expenses decreased by $9,102 due to an increase in selling expenses during 2016 as we purchased brochures and
other materials to assist in marketing our products in 2016.
Income
from Operations.
Thus, this resulted in a profit before other income of $976,129 during the nine month period ended September
30, 2017 compared to a loss before other income of ($125,278) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Other
Income (Expense).
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we recorded ($22,162) in other expense as
compared to other expense of ($29,257) recorded in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The continued weakening Canadian
dollar in 2017 against the United States dollar resulted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 in a foreign exchange
loss of ($38,892) compared to a foreign exchange loss of ($61,057) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016
on denominations transacted and settled in foreign currencies, primarily being sales to the United States from which the monies
are being converted and used to satisfy Canadian dollar operational requirements. We recovered $61,054 in expenses associated
with recovery of scientific research and development expenditures during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared
to $31,800 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Net
income (loss) before income taxes.
Thus, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, this resulted in net income
before income taxes of $998,291 compared to a net loss of ($154,535) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Provision
for Income taxes.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $264,547 in income taxes compared
to $-0- during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

to a net loss of ($153,585) incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Other
Comprehensive Gain (Loss).
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a foreign exchange adjustment
of $130,904 as compared to $950 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss).
Thus, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, our comprehensive income was $864,648 or
$0.01 per share compared to a comprehensive loss of ($153,585) or ($0.0) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The
weighted average number of shares outstanding was 54,296,541 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to 34,218,577
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.
Three
Month Period Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2016.
We
generated revenue during the three month period ended September 30, 2017 in the amount of $339,916 compared to $53,619 generated
during the three month period ended September 30, 2016 (an increase of $286,297).
Cost
of sales:
During the three month period ended September 30, 2017, cost of sales was $30,702 compared to $44,159 during the
three month period ended September 30, 2016 (a decrease of $13,457). The change in products sold in the three month period ended
September 30, 2017 contributed to a decrease in our gross margin over the three month period ended September 30, 2016. Less work
for retrofit systems, where the majority of the costs are borne by the customer, did not assist in offsetting the lower product
margins generated on the sale of seat frames during the three month period ended September 30, 2016.
Gross
Profit.
Thus, based on the above, our gross profit increased to $309,214 during the three month period ended September 30,
2017 from $9,460 during the three month period ended September 30, 2016.
Operating
expenses:
During the three month period ended September 30, 2017, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $200,107

Operating expenses include: (i) compensation of $130,597 (2016: $118,611); (ii) occupancy costs of $17,058 (2016: $15,779); (iii)
travel of $5,440 (2016: $8,628); (iv) professional fees of $11,378 (2016: $4,591); (v) communication of $2,783 (2016: $3,223);
and (vi) office and general of $32,851 (2016: $129). In respect of compensation, more labor charges were capitalized to the work
in process projects during the three month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three month period ended September
30, 2016 due to the timing and completion of specific projects resulting in an increase of $11,986 being charged in 2017. Travel
decreased by $3,188 as compared to the same period in 2016. Professional fees increased by $6,787 in the three month period ended

During the three month period ended September 30, 2017, we recorded ($34,783) in other
expense as compared to other income of $312,507 in the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The continued weakening Canadian
dollar in 2017 against the United States dollar resulted during the three month period ended September 30, 2017 in a foreign exchange
loss of ($36,004) compared to a foreign exchange gain of $280,707 during the three month period ended September 30, 2016 on denominations

PLAN
OF OPERATION
Our
principal demands for liquidity are to increase capacity, inventory purchase, sales distribution, and general corporate purposes.
We are in the process of being accepted as a global prototype supplier by Johnson Controls compared to our prior role as a supplier
for North America. We had been involved in discussions with Johnson Controls regarding prototypes and parts production. Johnson
Controls visited our facility during early 2012 to conduct an audit for global recommendation. Their goal was to understand the
processes we use to run the business and the controls that we have in place so that we were assured to have utmost control over
the quality of work. The audit was based on our employees and their qualifications, data management, processes, tooling and equipment
and parts and material management. Johnson Controls conducted a tour of our facility, which was followed up with a final review
on May 3, 2012. Subsequently we received a call from Johnson Controls stating that we had been accepted and recommended for their
global work. Therefore, we have been accepted for global work and thus provided the basis for previously disclosed projections.
We may achieve those revenue projections during fiscal year 2017, however, we may also not achieve that level of revenue.
We
intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of inventory,
and the expansion of its business, through cash flow provided by operations and funds raised through proceeds from the issuance
of debt or equity.
With
a flexible labor force, workers are hired on a project by project basis, and strong inventory management, we are able to
manage our cash flow to meet the ever changing needs of the business. We can expand and contract very quickly based on
customer demand. Our major customers, JCI and Tennessee Rand, are consistently submitting new projects. We had $1,860,401 of
project work in process at the end of December 31, 2016 with a total contract value of approximately $2,800,000. As
of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have $665,752.00 of project work in process with a total contract value of
approximately $2,739,000. Revenue opportunities have historically materialized to supplement this revenue being service and
retooling.
We
have not paid any sums for public relations or investor relations.
MATERIAL
COMMITMENTS
Other
than the lease obligation and note referenced below, we have no other reportable material commitments for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2017.
Settlement
Agreement/Convertible Note
On
October 18, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate 5,000,000 post Reverse Stock Split shares of
restricted common stock to certain unrelated parties. We received certain conversion notices dated October 18, 2016 from the unrelated
parties (collectively, the “Conversion Notices”) and authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of our post Reverse
Stock split restricted common stock. The shares were issued in a private transaction to two non-United States residents, in reliance
on Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The
shares of common stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be offered
or sold without registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements. The parties acknowledged that the securities to be issued have not been registered under the Sec45.83urities Act
and that they understood the economic risk of an investment in the securities
On
August 26, 2016, Bernardino Paolucci, our President/Chief Executive Officer, entered into those certain debt purchase agreements
dated August 26, 2016 (each, the “Debt Purchase Agreement”), which each Debt Purchase Agreement was consummated on
September 2, 2016 with payment of consideration. It was previously reported and disclosed that the Company had issued: (i) that
certain convertible promissory note dated December 15, 2006 in the principal amount of $60,000.00 (the “Treanor Convertible
Note”), to Stephen Treanor (“Treanor”), which a portion of the principal and accrued interest in the amount
of $36,000 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions of that certain settlement agreement dated December 15,
2009 between the Company and Treanor (the “Treanor Settlement Agreement”); (ii) that certain convertible promissory
note dated April 15, 2008 in the principal amount of $40,000.00 (the “Boyle Convertible Note”), to Donna Boyle (“Boyle”),
which all the principal and accrued interest in the amount of $41,600.00 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions
of that certain settlement agreement dated December 15, 2009 between the Company and Boyle (the “Boyle Settlement Agreement”);
and (iii) that certain convertible promissory note dated December 15, 2006 in the principal amount of $60,000.00 (the “Russell
Convertible Note”), to Raymond Russell (“Russell”), which a portion of the principal and accrued interest in
the amount of $36,000 was subsequently settled pursuant to the terms and provisions of that certain settlement agreement dated
December 15, 2009 between the Company and Russell (the “Russell Settlement Agreement”).
It
was further previously disclosed that in accordance with the terms and provisions of that certain share exchange agreement dated
January 27, 2012 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) between the Company and D Mecatronics Inc., a private corporation
(“D Mecatronics”) and the shareholders of D Mecatronics (the “D Mecatronics Shareholders”), the Company
acquired all of the total issued and outstanding shares of D Mecatronics in exchange for the issuance of shares of its common
stock to the D Mecatronic Shareholders and the assignment the Treanor Convertible Note, the Boyle Convertible Note and the Russell
Convertible Note to Mr. Paolucci (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”).
During
the first quarter of 2016, it was determined that as of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement, there were certain inaccuracies
regarding the amounts recorded as owing on the convertible Notes payable that were assigned to Mr. Paolucci. These Convertible
Notes were converted for 75,733 shares of common stock in January 2015. Upon making this determination, Mr. Paolucci terminated
the transaction, returned his shares to treasury for cancellation and reinstated the Convertible Notes.
As
of the date of the Debt Purchase Agreements, the aggregate amount that remained due and owing under the Treanor Convertible Note,
the Boyle Convertible Note and the Russell Convertible Note was $39,864.00 (the “Debt”). Mr. Paolucci was the holder
of all right, title and interest in and to the Debt due and owing by the Company, which Debt is evidenced on the audited and reviewed
financial statements of the Company commencing as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, on September 7,
2016, two separate unrelated parties entered into a separate Debt Purchase Agreement with Mr. Paolucci for payment of consideration
each in the amount of $12,500.00 (each, the “Purchase Price”) and Mr. Paolucci sold and transferred all of his respective
right, title and interest, including conversion rights of $0.005 per share, in and to the Debt.
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report, an aggregate $25,000 of the Debt was converted into 5,000,000 shares of common stock.
On
January 17, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement”)
and corresponding promissory note (the “Note”) between the Company and Mr. Paolucci. In accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Paolucci agreed to refrain from converting certain debt into shares of our common
stock and to accept the settlement and payoff of $100,000 (the “Settlement Debt”). Mr. Paolucci’s agreement
to forego his right and opportunity to convert the debt into approximately 2,616,600 shares of our common stock represented a
large potential monetary loss based upon the anticipated increase in the trading price and valuation of our shares of common stock.
As of the date of the Settlement Agreement, our common stock was trading at $1.7425, which represented a then monetary value of
$4,559,425.50 in the event such debt was converted. Mr. Paolucci recognized his potential conflict of interest associated with
the Settlement Agreement and as a member of the Board of Directors analyzed several factors and criteria with regards to his decision
to enter into the Settlement Agreement as being in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Note was paid
in full during fiscal year 2017.
Lease
We

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our interim consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation
of these interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate
our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory
and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the
judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our
financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are
based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to
update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.
Uses
of Estimates
The
preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Financial statement items subject to significant judgment include expense accruals, as well as income
taxes and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include,
but are not limited to:
Assets’
carrying values and impairment charges
Assets,
including property and equipment and inventory, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that their carrying amount exceed their recoverable amounts. In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management
looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant
or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions
require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.
Income
taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets
In
assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future
taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the
likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments,
management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable
income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company
considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s
ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the
relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear
or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially
affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the
tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
At September 30, 2017, we had no cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts which may exceed federally insured
limits. As of September 30, 2017, our accounts are insured for $100,000 CDN by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation for Canadian
bank deposits and are insured for $250,000 by FDIC for US bank deposits. The entirety of our US bank deposits are insured at September
30, 2017.
Inventory
Inventory,
comprised principally of raw materials, is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”)
method. This policy requires D&R to make estimates regarding the market value of our inventory, including an assessment of
excess or obsolete inventory. We determine excess and obsolete inventory based on an estimate of the future demand and estimated
selling prices for its products.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We
extend credit to our customers in the normal course of business. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate
of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on specific customer
information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged-off against
the allowance when we believe it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no concentrations
of credit risk for which an allowance should be established. Although management believes that no allowance is needed, it is possible
that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change. As of September 30, 2017,
we have not deemed any accounts uncollectible.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,”Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) as modified by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104. Under
SAB 101, revenue is recognized when the project is complete, and when collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

and accepted by the customer the final invoice is issued and all deferred revenue is recognized along with the related work
in process costs for the project. Systems generally take 20-28 weeks to design, manufacture, assemble, and then ship to our
various customers.
