LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

liquidity were cash flows from financing activities, and in particular,
convertible debentures.
As of January 31, 2021, the Company had total assets of $3,435,192 consisting of
$39,274 in receivables, $156,618 in inventory, $37,832 in other current assets,
and other long-term assets of $35,165, goodwill of $2,294,952, other intangibles
of $15,000, fixed assets of $557,733, and $296,618 in right of use assets. As of
April 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $3,612,474, consisting of
current assets of $49,185 in cash, $106,876 in receivables, $131,205 in
inventory, $9,481 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The decrease in
total assets of $177,282, was primarily due to the decreases in its cash of
$49,185,receivables of $67,602, and amortization of right of use assets of
$127,197 which were offset by an increase in inventory of $25,413 as a result of
decreased customer demand due to slowing of construction in the winter months.
As of January 31, 2021, the Company had total liabilities totaling $2,124,382
including $1,721,943 in current payables and accrued expenses, $60,820 in
related party payables, $31,620 in notes payable, and $309,999 in right of use
liabilities. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had total liabilities totaling
$2,397,838 including $1,094,717 in accounts payable and accrued expenses,
$85,603 in related party payables, $762,889 in notes payable and $454,629 in
right of use liabilities and long-term liabilities. The decrease in liabilities
of $165,321, was largely the result of a decrease in notes payable of $730,000
due to debenture conversions and right of use liabilities of $117,045 from
scheduled payments, with the remainder being offset by an increase in operating
expenses in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
On January 31, 2021, the Company had stockholders' equity of $1,310,810 and
$1,214,636 on April 30, 2020. The decrease is result of the items discussed

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2021 and
January 31, 2020.
Revenues
For the nine-month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company had revenues of
$816,598, and $845,047 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in sales is
primarily the result of the decrease in SPE's sales by approximately $210,000
offset by an increase in ICS's sales of approximately $113,500. SPE was selling
a proprietary product to a single customer. Due to a change in the marketing
strategy of the single customer, that customer's requirement for the product was
discontinued. From time-to-time there will be other opportunities for the
Company to produce custom products for specific customers, which may not have
continuing revenues from one financial period to another.
For the three-month period ended January 31, 2021, the Company had revenues of
$130,183, and $119,451 for the same period in 2020. The increase in sales is
primarily the result of the decrease in SPE's sales by approximately $55,440
offset by an increase in ICS's sales of approximately $30,000 and LAC's sales of
$14,800. SPE was selling a proprietary product to a single customer. Due to a
change in the marketing strategy of the single customer, that customer's

and has incurred reoccurring losses from operations during the nine months ended
January 31, 2021. The Company is relying on capital from investors to meet the
majority of its operating expenses.

There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations
(including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated
entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on financial
