PART I

ITEM 1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

We sell a sulfur based fungicide that is used for commercial agriculture purposes. Sales of our product commenced in 2001. Currently, our sulfur based fungicide product is sold primarily to the agriculture industry in California. We are also developing a pellet form sulfur based plant nutrient and a dry flowable sulfur product for commercial agriculture use. Our head office is located at 1302 Arbutus Street, Vancouver, B.C.

We previously milled and packaged the sulfur products sold by us using a processing and packaging plant owned by us on land held by us pursuant to a lease. In November of 2002 the plant was seized by the landlord. We agreed with the landlord not to contest the seizure of the plant in exchange for the termination of our obligations under the lease. As a result of the seizure of our plant, our sulfur production operations ceased. Our current operations are instead primarily sales of product under our brand name. We are currently seeking to merge our operations with another sulfur milling operation. We believe that our existing industry sales channels for our current sulfur products, along with our proprietary research on new agriculture use sulfur products, will provide value to a potential merger candidate. Since November of 2002, we have been in merger negotiations with a sulfur milling operation located in Alberta, Canada, however as at the date of this registration statement no agreement has been reached.

Corporate History

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 18, 1998 for the purpose of raising capital to acquire a processing plant and machinery necessary to undertake production of sulfur-based plant nutrient fertilizers and fungicides. Our subsidiary, Micron, was incorporated under the laws of Alberta on August 20, 1998.

Our current business is operated primarily through our subsidiary Micron Milling & Packaging Company Ltd. Through Micron we sell our milled and packaged sulfur products to the California agriculture industry.

3


Prior to November of 2002 production and packaging of our sulfur products was carried out at a 10,000 square foot production facility consisting of a mill and packaging plant and equipment situated on five acres of land located in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada. The land and building was held by Micron through a lease.

In November of 2002, the landlord seized the milling and packaging plant and equipment under their right of distraint, as a result of a dispute over lease payments. Micron negotiated the termination of the lease in exchange for not disputing the seizure. Micron’s decision not to pursue recovery of the plant and equipment was based on a determination by management that considered the replacement value of the assets, the cost of disputing the seizure and the ability of Micron to continue sales of its products. Micron determined that it could meet future supply and delivery obligations by purchasing from third party suppliers located in Alberta, Canada and in the State of Texas. It was determined by management that such suppliers can supply sulfur products milled in accordance with our specifications and packaged under our brand name.

The history of our operations prior to the seizure of our plant and equipment by the landlord is summarized in the following paragraphs.

In October of 1998, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in the Province of Alberta, Canada, under the name 805332 Alberta Ltd. for the purposes of negotiating the acquisition of a sulfur milling and packaging plant and equipment necessary to undertake production of sulfur-based fungicides. The plant was located in Crossfield, Alberta.

At or about this time, Micron Milling & Packaging Company Ltd. a Company incorporated in the Province of Alberta, was competing in our bid to acquire the milling and packaging plant and equipment. At the time of the negotiations, Micron and its principals were not associated with us or our operations. Micron opted out of negotiations, and we retained one of its principals to provide consulting services directly to us.

In January of 1999, our 805332 subsidiary successfully acquired the processing plant and machinery and entered into a lease with the landlord of the premises on which the plant was located. Due to financial difficulties caused by the lack of funds to meet ongoing lease obligations, 805332 was placed into receivership by two creditors later in 1999. We subsequently negotiated with the creditors and the shareholders of Micron whereby it was agreed the assets of 805332 would be bought from the receiver by Micron and concurrently we would acquire Micron.

On May 2, 2000 Micron acquired the processing plant from the receiver at a cost of $62,000 ($95,000 Canadian dollars). The creditors in turn agreed to loan the proceeds of the sale back to Micron, after deduction of the receiver’s fees. Micron concurrently entered into a new lease with the landlord. Since conclusion of the receivership process, 805332 has not held any material assets and has had no operations.

Immediately thereafter, on May 5, 2000 we entered into an agreement with Micron and two principal shareholders of Micron, namely David and Paul Uppal, whereby we acquired 76.5 shares of Micron, representing 76.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micron. In exchange for the shares of Micron, we issued 6,400,000 shares of our 805332 subsidiary to the Uppal’s, convertible into 6,400,000 shares of MPAC at the option of the Uppal’s. The right of conversion was agreed to for personal tax planning reasons, as Canadian tax law permits a tax deferral where the shares of one Canadian corporation are sold in exchange for shares of another Canadian corporation. Accordingly, no taxable sale would be realized until the Uppal’s convert their shares of 805332 into shares of MPAC, a Nevada corporation. Pending conversion, the Uppal’s have agreed that voting control of 805332 would remain with MPAC. In connection with the transaction the Uppal’s were appointed to the board of directors of MPAC.

4


Pursuant to the May 5, 2000 agreement with Micron, MPAC agreed to fund the operations of Micron by advancing $250,000 ($375,000 Canadian Dollars) as a loan convertible into shares of Micron. In February of 2001, MPAC converted the loan to acquire an additional 500,000 shares of Micron. This resulted in MPAC holding 99.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Micron.

In connection with the above transactions, Paul and David Uppal personally advanced $206,540 towards the operations of Micron, as a loan to fund operations. MPAC subsequently guaranteed the loan by issuing promissory notes to the Uppal’s for the loan amount. The terms of the promissory note provide that MPAC may repay the loan in full at any time within 13 months from the date that demand for repayment is made. Interest is payable on the principal amount at Royal Bank of Canada prime rate plus one percent.

In November of 2002, we ceased milling and packaging operations as a result of the landlord’s uncontested seizure of our milling and packaging equipment. We will continue to sell our sulfur products to the California agriculture market under our brand name by using third party sulfur milling and packaging services to produce and package our products in accordance with our specifications. We are also currently seeking to merge with an operating sulfur mill in order to expand our business. Any merger would likely be by way of a share exchange rather than a cash purchase. Currently we are in early negotiations with a sulfur milling operation in Alberta that has excess capacity in its milling plant. We believe production of our current sulfur products and future products that we are developing, together with our existing sales channels, would be beneficial to a sulfur milling operation with excess capacity in its production facilities.

Industry Overview

We compete in the plant fungicide and plant nutrient market servicing the commercial agriculture industry. Our niche is the processing, packaging and sale of pure form or elemental sulfur products for agricultural use. Subsequent to November of 2002 we will outsource the processing and packaging of our proprietary sulfur products to third party milling facilities.

Traditionally, most world-wide sulfur production comes from sulfur mining and from the recovery of sulfur as a by-product of oil and natural gas production and refining, the latter process sometimes referred to as desulfurization. In North America, mining of elemental sulfur has ceased in recent years due to costs and environmental concerns, and this trend is being followed in the rest of the world. World production of sulfur has, however, remained steady as a result of increased oil and gas refining activity and improved desulfurization techniques. Recent trends towards reducing sulfur content in refined fossil fuels has resulted in improved desulfurization techniques in the process of refining oil and natural gas.

In North America, Canada and the United States produce approximately equal amounts of elemental sulfur per year. As sulfur is a by-product of oil and gas production and refining, the oil and gas endowed Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, along with the States of Texas and Louisiana are the primary producers of elemental sulfur in North America. Mexico accounts for less than 8% of the sulfur produced within the North American Free Trade zone. Canada accounts for approximately 68% of all sulfur imported by the United States.

Sulfur in its elemental form is a commodity and accordingly at the global level is priced based on demand relative to world-wide availability. Pricing of unprocessed elemental sulfur can vary significantly. In 2001, world pricing was approximately $18 per ton compared to $24 in 2000 and $37 in 1999. Current world prices are approximately $27 per ton. However, oil and gas refineries may sell for significantly less than posted commodity trading prices depending on the costs associated with storage and their ability

5


to dispose of the sulfur. Sulfur stockpiles can be a financial burden to refineries and accordingly stockpile holders may realize an economic benefit in paying to have sulfur removed from their sites.

Elemental sulfur can be used for a number of applications including military explosives manufacturing, fertilizers, fungicides, animal feed and medicines. There are generally no suitable substitutes for elemental sulfur for agricultural, medical or military applications. Currently, the agriculture and horticulture industries are the largest consumers of elemental sulfur. The primary use of sulfur in agriculture is as a component in the manufacture of potash fertilizers.

The production of sulfur fungicide and elemental sulfur plant nutrient is a niche business in the agricultural products industry. The use of sulfur by the agricultural industry provides several advantages over other fungicides and pesticides and is complementary to the use of other plant nutrients or fertilizers. Currently we produce only a sulfur based fungicide, however we are also developing the capability to produce a solid form sulfur based plant nutrient, referred to as Elemental Plant Nutrient Sulfur or EPNS, as a second product offering. We are also negotiating to acquire the rights to develop a dry flowable sulfur fungicide as an alternative to our powdered sulfur fungicide. A description of the industry for each of sulfur based fungicides and plant nutrients follows.

Sulfur Based Fungicide

Sulfur is a naturally occurring element which is widely used as a fungicide in both conventional and, with increasing importance, organic farming. Sulfur is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive, generally non-toxic to birds and mammals, and can be used to control both mites as well as fungal diseases.

Sulfur fungicide is generally available in a fine powder or liquid form and appears pale yellow in colour with a slight sulfur odour. Sulfur based fungicides typically consist of 90-99% pure elemental sulfur, with the balance comprised of inert materials. Application of the sulfur in its powdered form can be done by crop dusters that can cover a large area relatively quickly. Powdered fungicides are also preferable to the liquid form in hot weather agricultural areas where droplets from the liquid may magnify the effects of the sun and cause burning of plant leaves and stems. Powdered sulfur fungicide products can control a large number of diseases on fruits, vegetables, various flowers and ornamental plants. Powder form elemental sulfur is also an effective pesticide used to control certain plant-damaging pests such as mites.

Although the use of sulfur as a fungicide is established in agricultural regions around the world, our primary market is the commercial agriculture industry in California. In California, sulfur based fungicides accounted for over 33% by weight of all pesticides applied in production agriculture in 2000. From 1991 to 1996, it had the highest use and largest increase in pounds applied compared to other fungicides and pesticides used in the State of California. It also had the highest use and greatest increase in number of applications and acres treated. Sulfur usage in that State continued to increase between 1996 and 1999 and was the most highly used pesticide/fungicide in 2000, both in pounds applied and acres treated, representing one-third of all reported pesticide/fungicide use by weight.

Based on reports from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, prior to 1991 California growers relied heavily on newly developed chemical fungicides which resulted in reduced usage of sulfur. However, the development of mildew resistance to those chemical fungicides resulted in a return to sulfur based fungicides. In the first half of the 1990’s other fungicides experienced the development of similar mildew resistance which led to further increases in sulfur usage as a fungicide. Presently, raisin growers rely almost exclusively on sulfur, while wine and table grape growers use both sulfur and chemical fungicides.

6


Another advantage of sulfur is that sulfur based fungicides are approved for use in organic farming whereas chemical fungicides are not. In particular, organic wine grape growers are common users of sulfur based fungicides. Increasing demand for organic wine has resulted in more California wine grape growers choosing to switch to sulfur products as a fungicide. Accordingly, the lack of mildew resistance to sulfur and an increasing demand for sulfur for organic production have resulted in an overall increase in sulfur usage. In addition to organic and non-organically farmed wine grapes, elemental sulfur fungicide is commonly used as a fungicide on over 20 different commercial crops including non-wine grapes, tomatoes, avocados, apples, cherries and citrus.

In North America, demand for sulfur based fungicide is cyclical and usually is at its peak during the early to mid spring growing season. The powdered fungicide is applied directly onto the growing plants. The demand in the Southern hemisphere, such as markets in South America and Australia is counter-cyclical to North American demand.

Elemental Plant Nutrient Sulfur (EPNS)

Sulfur deficiency in crops is a relatively recent world-wide phenomenon that is a by-product of several factors. These factors include the intense use of available agricultural land which results in the depletion of naturally occurring sulfur and other nutrients in the soil, which places reliance on fertilizer use to obtain satisfactory crop yields. Also, in the past, sulfur emissions in the atmosphere released as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal, resulted in sulfur being available to crops in the form of acid rain, which is formed by sulfur emissions attaching to water droplets. As many modern and developing countries move to cleaner use of fossil fuels, sulfur emissions have decreased. These factors have resulted in a combination of high fertilizer dependency as well as increased sulfur availability from the refining of oil and natural gas. As the sulfur content in fertilizers is typically low, most sulfur deficiencies cannot be resolved through fertilizer use alone. Accordingly there exists a need for elemental sulfur as a plant nutrient to complement fertilizer use.

Sulfur is an essential element in plant growth. All living things require a balance of four major nutrient groups to stay healthy, grow and reproduce: nitrogen, phosphate, potassium or potash, and sulfur. Nitrogen promotes protein formation in plants and crops and is a major component of chlorophyll, which helps to promote green, healthy growth and high yields. Phosphates stimulate root development, promote flowering and help prevent disease and environmental stress. They also encourage growth and produce uniform crop yields. Potash regulates many different functions and is required in large quantities for healthy crop growth and development. Sulfur is a building block for proteins, enzymes and vitamins, is a key ingredient in the formation of chlorophyll and helps to improve the effect of other nutrients. If supplied to plants in adequate amounts, sulfur improves yields, promotes vegetative growth as well as protein and chlorophyll content. Additionally, sulfur improves fertilizer efficiency and resistance of plants to pests, diseases and cold weather. Symptoms of sulfur deficiency in crops usually appear on younger upper leaves and can result in irregular growth cycles and reduced crop quality and yields.

Sulfur is considered the fourth major plant nutrient after nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and is needed by many crops to the same extent as the other three major nutrients. In many applications, the role of sulfur in plant growth has previously been little known or understood. Adequate amounts of sulfur had been supplied to crops from sulfur previously existing in soil, through high sulfur emissions and through incidental amounts of sulfur supplied as a component of other fertilizers. However, in many parts of the world, sulfur deficiency has recently become problematic and use of sulfur as a plant nutrient is becoming necessary to meet the needs of intensive agriculture. Sulfur content in soil from atmospheric sulfur emissions and other incidental sulfur applications is diminishing, while at the same time more intensive use is being made of agricultural land to cope with rising production demands.

7


The world-wide demand for sulfur is expected to increase as population increases and agricultural land resources decrease. The growth of world population will result in continued increases in the demand for food, while further urbanization will place additional pressure on the amount of arable land available for agricultural production, which has already declined from 1.1 acres per capita in 1965 to 0.6 acres in 2000. In the long-term, growth and profitability in the fertilizer industry are driven by world population growth and rising living standards which create an increasing demand for food. As the availability of arable land for production of food is largely fixed, it is imperative that crop yields are increased through application of high-analysis fertilizers and other agricultural inputs in order to meet this increasing demand. The optimal results from the application of fertilizers requires the presence and availability of the four major nutrients in a satisfactory physical form and at a price that makes their application cost effective.

Plant nutrient sulfur is growing in importance world-wide as food production increases and overall sulfur inputs diminish. Increasing crop production, reduced sulfur dioxide emissions and shifts in fertilizer sources have led to world-wide sulfur deficiencies. Over a twenty-year period, the amount of sulfur used in all fertilizers is estimated at around 10 million tons per year, however, nitrogen consumption has almost doubled during this period from approximately 39 million tons in 1973, to about 75 million tons in 1991. The increased consumption of sulfur free, high-analysis fertilizers is one of the most significant causes of sulfur deficiency.

According to the Sulphur Institute, in 1991 it was estimated that the total annual unrealized world market potential for sulfur as a plant nutrient was 6.4 million tons. The need for sulfur as a plant nutrient has shown steady growth since the 1960s and is expected to continue growing into the 21st century. The world deficit for sulfur as a plant nutrient is projected to reach 7.5 million tons annually by 2000 and increase to 12 million tons by 2010.

In North America, demand for sulfur by the agriculture industry is affected by cyclical growing patterns. Accordingly, demand is greatest in the late fall through early spring season, as growers typically accumulate plant nutrients for the spring growing season.

To date, sulfur requirements have been partially satisfied with the application of ammonium sulfate. Granular ammonium sulfate is composed of approximately 24% sulfur in sulfate form. Ammonium sulfate is relatively low cost. Due to the lack of high-analysis sulfur fertilizers and the low cost of granular ammonium sulfate, this product is being applied to crops. However, ammonium sulfate has drawbacks including its low concentration of sulfur.

A high-analysis form of sulfur would significantly lower transportation, storage, and application costs and allow for the more precise application of sulfur than can be achieved through the use of fertilizers. As transportation costs account for a significant share of fertilizer costs, the increase in concentration of a fertilizer and the consequent drop in tons of product required significantly lowers the cost of usage of a fertilizer product and increases its desirability.

Pure form sulfur plant nutrients are typically mixed with other fertilizers prior to application. This results in a need to produce the sulfur in a form that will blend evenly with other fertilizers, as well as deliver sufficient sulfur to the crops. Currently available products are somewhat unsatisfactory due to their inability to blend with other fertilizers or impermeable pellets that result in limited surface area resulting in slow absorption rates by the soil. Other pellets, such as ammonium sulfate deliver lesser amounts of sulfur. The industry requires an EPNS pellet that can be readily blended with other fertilizers, and is easily absorbed into the soil.

In summary, increased demands on agricultural land, combined with the increased use of high-analysis fertilizers and rapidly declining sulfur dioxide emissions, has lead to increased incidents of sulfur

8


deficiencies. Many deficiencies are acute. Based on this, the demand for sulfur-based fertilizers is expected to increase and such fertilizers will become a permanent fixture in agriculture. Many attempts to develop products to address this need have been made by various companies, but to date a completely satisfactory product has not been offered. Other products currently available offer a partial solution. We are seeking to develop a competitively priced solution to address the need for a suitable form of sulfur plant nutrient. We believe our proposed product is designed to be agronomically acceptable with specific physical characteristics required for handling and application.

Our Products

Our current product is a powdered elemental sulfur fungicide. Future products that we are developing are a pellet form EPNS product, and an alternative form of sulfur fungicide referred to as a dry flowable fungicide.

Our Sulfur Based Fungicide Product

Our current sales and marketing is focused on our powdered elemental sulfur fungicide. Our fungicide is used to control powdery mildew on crops such as apples, cherries, citrus, grapes, peaches, plums, prunes, beans, carrots, cotton, onions, peas, sugar beats, and tomatoes. Historically sulfur sales of our product have ranged from 3,000 to 4,000 tons per year.

Our sulfur based fungicide can be widely used on numerous crops. The process involved in the production of the fungicide is relatively straightforward and efficient.

We have historically sourced our sulfur from suppliers located in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Alberta produces a significant amount of oil and gas and consequently sulfur recovered from the desulfurization of these fossil fuels is abundantly available. There is currently a surplus of raw sulfur in Alberta which is expected to last indefinitely due to the ongoing production of high sulfur or sour gas in the province. This surplus has kept the purchase price of sulfur low, and is expected to continue to keep downward pressure on the cost of sulfur available locally.

Our current market is primarily California. Shipment of product has historically been by truck. Transportation to the primary markets in California remains inexpensive due to the abundant availability of back-haul transport from trucks returning to California after delivery of products to Canada.

Our Proposed Elemental Plant Nutrient Sulfur (EPNS) Product

We are developing the technology required to produce Elemental Plant Nutrient Sulfur, a solid plant nutrient product in pellet form. We believe that there is currently no completely satisfactory EPNS product offered on the market and accordingly the opportunity exists to develop and market a competitively priced product that has the specific physical characteristics required for handling and application. We are currently delaying further development and engineering of our EPNS product pending our efforts to locate a partner or merger candidate with which we can consolidate our operations.

Our EPNS product is designed as a solid pellet comprised of approximately 90% elemental sulfur that will be blended with the nutrients nitrogen, phosphate and potassium and subsequently applied to crops. We are seeking to develop a superior product to the sulfur-based fertilizer products currently available on the market. In particular, our product is being engineered to blend smoothly with other nutrients, and to dissolve rapidly into the soil with a high percentage of sulfur compound delivery for absorption by plants. Blending generally occurs in the region where the fertilizer will be applied and is conducted by an

9


intermediary facility that blends in accordance with specifications received by individual crop growers. The need to have regional blending facilities that can blend to a requested specification means that pre-blending of the fertilizer is not practical.

We have previously initiated discussions on our product with distributors and purchasers to determine the size of our market and sales expectations. We initially targeted the commencement of sales of our EPNS product in the late fall of 2003, timed to coincide with growers preparing for the spring growing season. However, as a consequence of the seizure of our milling assets, the timing of the release of our EPNS product is dependent on when we can locate a suitable production partner or merger candidate with the necessary resources required to complete the development and implementation of our form of EPNS production. During the past two years, we have spent in excess of $130,000 on the research and development of our proposed EPNS product. We estimate that the commercial release of the EPNS product will require an additional $450,000 for development, retooling, marketing and administrative costs prior to commencing sales of this product.

Dry Flowable Sulfur Fungicide

Prior to the seizure of our production facility, we are also negotiating an agreement to acquire a license to certain production technology and formulations necessary to produce dry flowable sulfur fungicide. We have delayed these negotiations indefinitely. Should we be successful at locating a production partner or merger candidate, we will re-visit the acquisition of the license. Dry flowable sulfur fungicide is a form of very finely micronized sulfur with certain qualities of dispersion and suspension in water, that offers an alternative to our powdered form fungicide. This product has similar uses as our powdered sulfur fungicide, but offers certain characteristics that are better suited to certain commercial crop applications. The fine powder is readily dissolved into a liquid that can be applied to operations that cannot use crop-dusting techniques, such as smaller farms or orchards.

We believe the market for dry flowable sulfur fungicide in North America and world-wide is rapidly expanding because of its application advantages over powdered fungicide.

Market and Marketing

The current market for our powdered fungicide is primarily California. Our fungicide is sold through distributors specializing in specific regions and products. The majority of our sales are conducted through three agricultural product distributors, however, we also sell directly to some commercial growers. It is not expected that the loss of any one distributor will have a material impact on our sales as current demand for sulfur is generally believed to be relatively constant and a decrease in sales to one purchaser or distributor is expected to result in an increase in sales to another, provided our pricing and quality remain competitive. Marketing efforts are primarily directed at agricultural industry distributors in California. We are reviewing the possibility of expanding our marketing efforts to other regions that may require a sulfur based fungicide including counter-cyclical regions such as South America and Australia. Product demand and shipping costs are critical factors being analyzed in determining suitable markets. We market our product under the trade name “Micron Dusting Sulfur 44”.

We expect that the market for our proposed EPNS product is initially industrial canola and grain crop growers in the midwestern United States and Canada. These growers are thought to be the largest expected beneficiaries of EPNS products. We will sell our EPNS product through distributors with numerous points of sale. Therefore, we will concentrate marketing efforts on establishing relationships with these distributors. The Company will also seek to establish relationships with producers of fertilizer products whose product lines would benefit from the addition of EPNS. Numerous candidates exist in every geographic region, however, the initial sales of EPNS would be confined to markets within an

10


economically serviceable geographic region. An economically serviceable geographic region refers to markets to which our sulfur products can be economically supplied to because transportation costs are not prohibitively high. From facilities in Alberta, the Northwestern and Western US as well as Western Canada can be served effectively due to competitive transport costs. We are also studying the economics of marketing our products to offshore markets.

Competition

Most of our fungicide sales are in California through distributors that place orders based on price, quality, and availability standards. Demand for packaged elemental powdered sulfur fungicide by distributors is price sensitive and accordingly we must be able to adjust to changes in pricing due to fluctuations in demand or supply.

The market for sulfur dusting powders on the west coast of North America is primarily supplied by a production facility owned by a competitor located in Fresno, California. While this competitor is located close to markets and has numerous established relationships, we believe that our product can be offered from Alberta suppliers at competitive prices for several reasons including the following: proximity to sulfur stockpiles allows raw sulfur to be obtained at a low cost per ton with low transportation cost; the availability of cheap transport to the California market as truck operators are willing to provide transport services at a reduced rate in order to fill otherwise empty trucks returning to the U.S.; our operating costs are paid in Canadian dollars which currently provides us with an exchange rate advantage; and we do not have a competitive relationship with many distributors in California.

We believe that there is currently no product available on the market today that offers a satisfactory alternative to our proposed EPNS product. Other products offer partial solutions to sulfur deficiency in soil that our product is designed to remedy. The process for developing our EPNS product is not proprietary to us and other potential competitors have access to this information. However, given the limited interest and capital and technical requirements in producing a competitive product, we believe that competition will be slow to arise. Further, we do not expect that larger fertilizer companies will present significant competition as the relatively small size of this niche market combined with the specialized requirements for production limits the appeal to these companies to provide direct competition.

Our proposed dry-flowable sulfur is expected to be marketed initially to smaller commercial farm and orchard operations in Canada and the United States.

Marketing of all products essentially consists of contacting industry distributors and creating awareness of our products.

Governmental Regulation

We have applied for and received the licenses necessary to export and sell our powdered sulfur-based fungicide product in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency as well as the California Department of Pesticide Registration.

We hold all necessary business and product approvals for the production and storage of sulfur products from Canadian provincial regulators. We are currently re-applying with municipal regulators for the re-issuance of the necessary municipal permits. We believe that the cost associated with obtaining the necessary permits and otherwise complying with environmental laws is minimal.

11


While there can be no certainty, we believe that the regulatory environment will continue to support our current and planned activities. However, any reversal of the current regulatory approvals of such products could have a serious and material negative effect on our business prospects.

Sources of Revenues

Currently, all revenues are derived through are sales of our sulfur fungicide product. We are actively seeking additional avenues to market and sell our fungicide product. In addition, if we are successful at developing, producing and marketing our pellet form EPNS and our dry flowable fungicide, then we will generate additional revenues from the sale of those product. We are also exploring the market for sulfur applications among other industries.

Employees

As a result of the closure of our milling and packaging plant, we do not currently require employees. All sales, marketing, research and development services are provided directly by our directors and officers.

RISK FACTORS

The description of our business and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the following risk factors relating to our business and operations. The following are the specific risk factors you should consider when making an investment in our business.

Development and marketing of our dry-flowable fungicide and plant nutrient sulfur products requires additional financing, failing which our revenues will be limited to sales of our existing powdered fungicide product.

In order to increase our revenues, we are seeking to complete the development and marketing of two new sulfur based products, a dry-flowable fungicide and a plant nutrient. We do not currently have facilities to produce these products and accordingly we must find a production partner and financing as necessary to retool existing production facilities. In addition, marketing and administrative costs will be incurred in connection with the commercialization and production of these proposed products. Our current revenues are not sufficient to provide us with the additional capital required to bring these products to production and commence sales. Accordingly our business plan contemplates raising at least an additional $500,000 in order to fund the development, production and marketing of our dry-flowable fungicide and our plant nutrient products, in conjunction with locating and securing a suitable production partner. If we are not successful at raising this funding, we may have to abandon further development of these products in order to avoid incurring losses which will result in our inability to generate revenues from these products as planned and will likely reduce our present and future value. Our ability to raise financing is subject to a number of factors including prevailing market conditions.

We currently rely on third party suppliers to produce and package our sulfur products. We cannot guarantee that suitable third party suppliers will be available to us on favourable terms or at all.

As a result of the seizure of our sulfur processing plant, we have no milling and packaging facility. We must rely on third party suppliers who are willing to prepare and package our sulfur products in accordance with our specifications and instructions. If such suppliers are unwilling or unable to provide us with our sulfur products at a price and on delivery terms which allows us to remain competitive and to generate net sales in present or future market conditions, we may be unable to sustain our business operations.

12


Our business plan contemplates that we will locate and merge with a suitable company in the sulfur processing industry, in order for us to develop our EPNS and dry-flowable fungicide products, as well as to gain control over our production techniques and costs. Alternatively we must find a production partner.

We currently do not own or operate a production facility for our sulfur products. In order to implement the production of our EPNS and dry-flowable fungicide products, we will require access to a production facility. We currently are proposing to merge into a suitable production company, that will be able to use excess capacity to produce our existing sulfur products, and will participate in the development of our proposed sulfur products. There is no guarantee that we will be successful at negotiating a merger or partnership with a suitable candidate on terms that are favourable to us or at all. If we are unable to do so, we may not be able to expand our business operations.

Production and sales of our sulfur based fungicide has a limited history which means investors do not have the benefit of an established track record of production or sales.

Sales and production of our sulfur based powdered fungicide commenced in early 2001. We have not commenced sales of our dry flowable sulfur fungicide or our sulfur plant nutrient. Accordingly, our track record of sales is very limited and may not be indicative of future sales. Any of a number of factors, including those discussed in this Risk Factors section could arise that could result in our production and sales being less than in previous financial periods.

Sales of our existing products have not generated sufficient revenues for us to be profitable. We may be unable to sustain continued losses.

Our net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 and the six months ended March 31, 2002 were $154,766 and $18,797 respectively. Our operating expenses for the same periods were $436,533 and $162,157 respectively resulting in a net loss recorded for these periods. While a portion of these expenses is attributable to start up costs and product development costs, we currently do not anticipate generating a profit on sales of our powdered fungicide product alone in the next 12 month period. If we are unable to generate sales of our proposed new sulfur-based products, we will have to significantly reduce expenses or increase sales of our existing fungicide product in order to avoid continued losses. If we are unable to do so, our value as a company could be expected to decrease significantly.

The agriculture industry is marked by cyclical demand for products based on crop growth cycles, and accordingly we may experience cyclical sales results.

In North America, the greatest period of demand for fungicide products is in the spring, concurrent with the growth of new leaves and shoots for out-door agricultural crops. Accordingly, sales of our fungicide can be expected to increase in the second and third quarter of our fiscal year. Unless we achieve counter-cyclical sales, such as to the agriculture industry in the southern hemisphere, or commence sales of new products that have different demand cycles, our results of operation can be expected to be subject to cyclical sales. The value of our common stock may be affected by such cyclical sales patterns.

We are a relatively new company competing among a number of existing and potential competitors that are better known and more established. Our ability to compete with these companies over time is dependent on a number of factors including our cost of sales, and availability of cheaper substitutes.

There are relatively few barriers to entry into our industry. Currently the production of sulfur based fertilizers and fungicides is a niche industry that many larger fertilizer companies do not compete in.

13


Should these companies decide to commence production of competing products, they will be better funded than we are which could provide them with a competitive advantage in production and marketing of their product. In addition, we sell our product primarily to three distributors in California. As similar product is produced by companies located within or closer to California, our ability to remain competitive largely depends on the availability of sulfur and transport services at prices which provide us with a competitive advantage to those competitors. In addition, we compete with non-sulfur based fungicides that in many applications may be a suitable and cheaper alternative to our product. To the extent that sulfur or transport services are not available at current levels, or alternative products are available at cheaper prices, or to the extent that larger companies enter into our market niche, we may not be able to compete with other producers and the value of our company will decrease.

The loss or unavailability of Adam Smith, David Uppal or Michael Uppal for an extended period of time could adversely affect our business operations and prospects.

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the effort and skills of Adam Smith, David and Michael Uppal. Due to their knowledge of our current and proposed products, as well as our production facilities and industry, the loss, incapacity, or unavailability of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our current and proposed operations, and our ability to carry out our business plan. Such a loss accordingly could be expected to decrease the value of our common stock.

Because our common stock will likely trade at prices below $5.00 per share, and because we will not be listed on a national exchange, there are additional regulations imposed on broker-dealers trading in our shares that may make it more difficult for an investor to resell our shares.

Because of rules that apply to shares with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share, known as the “penny stock rules”, holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities. The penny stock rules will probably apply to trades in our shares. These rules in most cases require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document to a potential purchaser of the securities, along with additional information including current bid and offer quotations, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 as Compared to March 31, 2001

Our revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 was $55,726 and $0 respectively. This increase reflects the commencement of production and sales for our fungicidal dusting sulfur, as well as the receipt of an investment tax credit. Sales of our fungicidal dusting sulfur were $32,591 for the six months ended March 31, 2002, compared to sales for the six months ended March 31, 2001 of nil. Orders outstanding as at March 31, 2001 were approximately one half of the total orders outstanding for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Sales during 2001 were primarily to one distributor with smaller quantities sold to two other distributors. Sales in 2002 are to a larger customer base due to an increase in marketing efforts and the establishing of Micron as a source of product to distributors in the California agricultural market.

14


Net losses for the six months ended March 31, 2002 were $120,225 or 215% of sales compared to $160,570 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease is directly related to the commencement of revenues from sales subsequent to March 31, 2001, the decrease in expenditures on plant refurbishing, the decrease in capital costs of equipment related to new product development, and the completion of spending on research and development during the six months ending March 2001. Additional research and development costs are not anticipated.

Expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 were $162,157 and $160,570 respectively. Included in these results is interest on long-term debt for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 of $26,092 and $7,262 respectively. The increase is primarily due to a one-time charge that will not be repeated in future results. This charge was a one time bonus we paid to a lender in the amount of $3225. Also included in these results are legal fees for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 of $31,180 and $7,485 respectively. The increase is primarily due to the legal costs related to the legal and regulatory work necessary to meet criteria for quotation on the National Quotation Bureau Pink Sheets system. These costs are not likely to be repeated in future results.

It is anticipated general and administrative expenses as a proportion of sales will decrease in subsequent years as an increase in sales will not necessitate an increase in certain items. It is anticipated that general and administrative expenses, telephone, and sales related expenses such as automobile and travel expenses as well as fixed cost such as rent and property taxes, will fall as a percentage of sales. We will no longer have the expenses related to the manufacturing facility and consequently rent, taxes, and other plant related fixed costs will be eliminated. It is expected that as a result of this costs as a percentage of sales will therefore consist only of marketing expenses and the cost of sourcing product from facilities with the approprite grinding and packaging equipment. We have successfully completed most research and development costs pertaining to new production technology. Future research and development costs are expected to fall as a result. Implementation of the technology developed will involve increased capital expenditures for production equipment. Consulting fees for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 were nil and $35,732 respectively. The decrease was attributable to the elimination of an individual consulting position as well as the completion of a research and development project.

Prepaid expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 were $49,369 and $13,260 respectively due primarily to the payment for capital equipment to be taken delivery of during the subsequent fiscal period.

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 were $13,794 and nil respectively due to the shipping costs of goods sold incurred during the first year of sales. Shipping costs will be an ongoing expense and will rise or fall in direct relation to sales and the availability of low cost back-haul transport.

For the Year Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 2000

Our sales for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 were $195,530 and $0 respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the initiation of sales of fungicidal dusting sulfur in the spring of 2001 after the refurbishing of the production facility conducted during 2000 and completed for the most part in March, 2001. In March, 2001 we also obtained the licenses required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States of America and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation which permitted us to commence sales in California. Sales are exclusively from our fungicidal dusting sulfur, a natural product favored by both traditional and organic farmers. Sales for the year ended September 30, 2000, were nil as we were in the process of plant refurbishing and had not yet obtained the required regulatory approvals to sell our product. Sales during 2001 were primarily to one distributor in California with smaller quantities sold to two other distributors. Sales in 2002 are expected to increase as

15


we broaden our customer base and increase marketing efforts of our product to distributors in the California agricultural market. We are also developing additional sulfur based agricultural products including an elemental plant nutrient and a dry flowable sulfur. These products will generate additional revenues if successfully brought to market.

Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2001 was $281,106 or 144% of sales as compared to $272,367 for the year ended September 30, 2000. The losses for these years were associated with the commencement of production including the expenditures on plant refurbishing, capital costs of equipment related to new product development, as well as increased spending on research and development. Additional capital expenses and research and development costs may affect our profitability over the next twelve months.

Selling and general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2001 were $436,533 as compared to $300,365 for the year ended September 30, 2000. This increase came primarily as a result of the increased activities related to production during the year ended September 30, 2001. It is expected that general and administrative expenses as a proportion of sales will decrease as sales increase, as expenses will not increase on certain items. Consulting fees for the year ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 were approximately $110,110 and $124,947 respectively. The decrease was partly attributable to the elimination of an individual consulting position.

Prepaid expenses for the years ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 were $52,829 and $9,588 respectively due primarily to the pre-payment on capital equipment to be delivered in the subsequent fiscal period.

Freight and delivery costs for the years ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 were $92,331 and $2,258 respectively due to the shipping costs of goods sold incurred during the first year of sales. Shipping costs will be an ongoing expense and will rise or fall in direct relation to sales and the availability of low cost back-haul transport.

During the year ended September 30, 2001, debt in the amount of $57,918 was converted into 115,836 restricted shares of common stock, while during the same period certain shareholders of MPAC advanced $184,114.

Information published by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation contained in reports prepared in 1998 and 2000 regarding the trends in the use of sulfur-based fungicide as well as information published by the Sulphur Institute regarding sulfur based plant nutrient indicate largely steady usage of sulfur based fungicide, with the exception of 2000 compared to 1999, and increasing usage of sulfur based plant nutrient products. Increasing incidents of sulfur deficiencies and an increased understanding of the crucial role of sulfur as a plant nutrient have lead to an increase in the deliberate application of sulfur plant nutrient.

These trends should result in increased demand for our current and proposed products. However, because the Company is relatively new, and has limited financial and personnel resources, there can be no assurance that it will benefit from any such trends, if indeed they occur.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used for operating activities for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 was $51,278 and $207,425 respectively. Cash paid to suppliers and employees fell to $94,833 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $207,084 for the six months ended March 31, 2001 primarily as a result of the completion of plant refurbishing and of a research and development project. The sales

16


completed during the most recent six month period were comprised entirely of sulfur based fungicide and these sales typically took place almost entirely during our third quarter as a result of the requirements of the California agricultural market.

At March 31, 2002 we had cash and accounts receivable of $39,350 and $34,555 respectively. At March 31, 2001 we had cash and accounts receivable of $41,557 and $24,769 respectively. An investment tax credit of $84,568 was also receivable as at March 31, 2002.

As at March 31, 2002 we had a negative working capital of $377,097. This compares to a negative working capital of $279,467 at March 31, 2001. It is anticipated that the cash on hand and receivables will provide sufficient working capital to operate through the balance of the fiscal year and into the next year.

We raised $50,000 from the sale of our securities during the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared the $190,000 raised from the sale of shares during the six months ended March 31, 2001. Capital costs during the balance of fiscal 2002 may require that additional funds be raised through the issuance of shares.

During the quarter subsequent to the six months ended March 31, 2002 we believe that we will achieve a higher volume of sales of our sulfur based fungicide in California based on the level of purchase orders received as at March 31, 2002 and for delivery during the subsequent quarter. These sales should provide additional cash flow through the year 2002. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this marketing effort, or will be able to provide adequate quantities for all of the our cash requirements.

We feel that during the next twelve months the company will generate significantly more revenue than during the previous twelve months. Outstanding orders as of March 31, 2002, for product to be delivered during the subsequent two quarters represent revenue of approximately twice the revenue generated during the previous fiscal year. The company’s current assets of $207,842 together with these revenues are expected to be sufficient to allow the Company to successfully carry out its business plan during the coming fiscal year. Discretionary spending items such as continued research and development and capital equipment purchase may be delayed until sufficient cash can be generated to fulfill these plans.

We will be dependent upon our ability to generate operating revenues or have other sources of financing to meet our intention and to satisfy our plans to expand our products and services. However, there can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues from any sources to complete our plan for the expansion of products and services sales.

The Company has historically raised capital through the private sale of securities. The Company plans to continue to explore possible private financing in 2002 or raise additional capital through the public offering of its securities. The proceeds of these sales of securities would be used to make acquisitions for the purpose of increasing the market for the Company's current products and or to expand the Company's product line. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either the sale of securities or acquiring other entities.

While there can be no assurance, the Company's management believes that the sale of sulfur based fungicide and other projects utilizing the Company's technical expertise will provide additional operating revenues for the Company into the year 2002. In the year 2002, the Company will seek to increase the distribution of its fungicide products, with the addition of distributors in the California market as well as the engagement of marketing representatives in other regions. There can be no assurance, as noted herein and elsewhere in this Form 10-SB that the Company will be successful in generating significant revenues from this product and/or other projects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

It is the company’s policy to adopt all applicable new accounting pronouncements as they are issued, which may be in advance of the effective date of the pronouncement.

In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supercedes SFAS No 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. The rules in SFAS No 144 restate and establish guidelines for evaluating the impairment of the company’s capital assets and the write downs to be recorded when there has been impairment. The company adopted the requirements of SFAS No 144 when the pronouncement was issued. There was no substantive change in the company’s capital assets, results of operations or cash flows on the adoption of this pronouncement.

ITEM 7.       CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Directors of MPAC are not currently compensated by us for meeting attendance or otherwise, but are entitled to reimbursement for their travel expenses. We do not pay additional amounts for committee participation or special assignments of the Board of Directors.

Adam J.C. Smith, President, Paul Uppal, Treasurer, and David R. Uppal, Secretary of MPAC, are currently the only full time executives of MPAC and are not in receipt of any salary at this time but are entitled to reimbursement for their travel expenses, and other expenses related to their duties as officers. Michael M.D. Laidlaw, a Director of MPAC, received consulting fees in the amount of $25,000 during fiscal 2001 for duties performed. In fiscal 2001, Mr. Laidlaw provided consulting services in connection with assessing capital markets, obtaining a quotation on the Pink Sheets trading service, and assisting with corporate finance initiatives.

Mr. Paul Uppal and Mr. David Uppal are the President and Secretary respectively of Micron Milling & Packaging Company Ltd., a subsidiary of MPAC, and have not received compensation to date for the

22


services in those capacities, but are entitled to reimbursement for their travel expenses, and other expenses related to their duties as officers of the subsidiary.

During the fiscal 2001, MPAC borrowed $103,270 from Mr. Paul Uppal and an additional $103,270 from Mr. David Uppal by way of promissory notes. Both notes are due within 13 months of the date demand for repayment is made and otherwise have no specific terms of repayment. Interest accrues on the notes at the Royal Bank of Canada prime lending rate plus 1%. These notes are currently outstanding, and no demand for repayment has been received by us. The loans from David Uppal and Paul Uppal provided funds for the acquisition of capital equipment, the refurbishing and operation of the plant as well as for general and administrative purposes.

In connection with acquisition of Micron Milling and Packaging Ltd. during fiscal 2001, we issued 3,200,000 shares of the common stock of a subsidiary to Paul Uppal and 3,200,000 shares of the common stock of a subsidiary to David R. Uppal, who previously held 76.5% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Micron. The shares issued to the Uppal’s carry the right of conversion into shares of MPAC on a one to one basis.

ITEM 8.       DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Common Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation as amended and filed July 18, 1998 authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As at November 30, 2002, we had a total of 8,291,518 shares issued and outstanding held by 76 stockholders of record.

All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Each share of common stock has the same rights, privileges and preferences. Holders of the shares of common stock have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares or other subscription rights. They have no conversion rights and are not subject to redemption provisions or future calls by us.

The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulate their votes.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of the outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata share of our net assets as may be distributed after payment of all liabilities which may then be outstanding, subject to the preferences that may be applicable on any outstanding preferred stock if any.

Preferred Stock

MPAC may issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and in such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will determine the designations, voting rights, amounts of preference upon distribution of assets, rates of dividends, premiums of redemption, conversion rights and other variations, if any, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the preferred stock.

Charter and Bylaw Provisions Concerning Changes in Control

Our charter documents allow our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock, which may have rights and preferences that are superior to those of our common stock, thereby deterring a potential acquiror. Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by Nevada law, to provide for the

23


issuance of preferred stock in one or more series to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series without further vote or action by the stockholders. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. Although we have no current plans to issue preferred stock, the future issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a controlling interest in MPAC.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock of MPAC is Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100, P.O. Box 17136, Salt Lake City, UT 84117, telephone, (801) 272-9294.

PART II

ITEM 1.        MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE MPAC'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Trades in our common shares are quoted on the National Quotation Bureau’s Pink Sheets service. Our trading symbol on this service is MPCC. The Pink Sheets has a limited and sporadic trading market and does not constitute and established trading market. We have not yet completed any trades quoted on this service.

As of June 18, 2002, there were 8,291,518 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. There are 800,000 shares of common stock reserved for outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock. As at June 18, 2002, there were approximately 76 stockholders of record.

There are no contractual restrictions on the resale of the outstanding common stock. There are currently shares of our common stock that are restricted from resale under Rule 144 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as follows:

Total restricted:            1,114,851

Total non-restricted:     7,176,667

Total held by affiliates:  2,376,518

In general, Rule 144 under the Securities Act provides that securities may be sold if there is current public information available regarding the issuer and the securities have been held at least one year. Rule 144 also includes restrictions on the amount of securities sold, the manner of sale and requires notice to be filed with the SEC. Under Rule 144 a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale under the Rule. If a one-year period has elapsed since the date the securities were acquired, the amount of restricted securities that may be sold for the account of any person within any three-month period, including a person who is an affiliate of the issuer, may not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of

24


our common stock or the average weekly trading volume in the over-the-counter market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of sale is filed with the SEC. If a two-year period has elapsed since the date the securities were acquired from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer, a seller who is not an affiliate of the issuer at any time during the three months preceding a sale is entitled to sell the shares without regard to volume limitations, manner of sale provisions or notice requirements. Affiliates of the issuer are subject to an ongoing volume restriction pursuant to Rule 144 on resales of shares held by them.

Dividends Policy

We have not paid dividends on our common stock since our inception. Dividends on common stock are within the discretion of the Board of Directors and are payable from profits or capital legally available for that purpose. It is our current policy to retain any future earnings to finance the operations and growth of our business. Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying any dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 2.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

To the best of our knowledge there are currently no legal actions pending, threatened, or contemplated against us or to be undertaken by us.

ITEM 3.       CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

There have not been any changes in or disagreements with our certifying accountants.

ITEM 4.       RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

In the previous three years, we issued the following securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).

On May 1, 2000, we completed the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $100,000. This offering was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. MPAC believes that this sale was also exempt under Regulation S promulgated under the Act, due to the foreign residency of the purchasers. The following table identifies the purchasers and the number of shares purchased by them respectively:

SHAREHOLDER
NUMBER OF SHARES
Paul Uppal
100,000
David R. Uppal
100,000
TOTAL:

On January 16, 2002, we completed the sale of 530,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $265,000. This offering was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. MPAC believes that in the case of non-U.S. residents this sale was also exempt under Regulation S promulgated under the Act, due to the foreign residency of the purchasers. The following table identifies the purchasers and the number of shares purchased by them respectively:

Mathew Ploszanski 15,000
Paul Jacoy 3,000
Tej Purba 15,000
Fred R. Sale 15,000
TOTAL 530,000

On May 23, 2002, we completed the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of $100,000. This offering was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. MPAC believes that this sale was also exempt under Regulation S promulgated under the Act, due to the foreign residency of the purchasers. The following table identifies the purchasers and the number of shares purchased by them respectively:

   SHAREHOLDER NUMBER OF SHARES
Carolyn Broady 100,000
A.C. Brewster 100,000
TOTAL: 200,000

During the period October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2001 we issued 70,000 shares to Jacob Alter as partial compensation for services provided during fiscal 2001, specifically, assisting us in assessing capital markets, and preparing for the listing of our shares on a recognized exchange or trading facility. These securities were issued without registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D. The shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.

Also, on May 5, 2001 we signed an agreement whereby our then wholly owned subsidiary, 805332 Alberta Ltd. issued 6,400,000 shares convertible on a one to one basis into shares of MPAC, in exchange for the acquisition of a 76.5% interest in Micron Milling and Packaging Company Ltd. Our agreement to the conversion may constitute an offer and sale of securities, and is exempt from registration under the Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder due to the foreign nationality of the purchasers.

ITEM 5.       INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada corporate securities law. Specifically, directors of MPAC will not be personally liable for

26


 

monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except liability for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to MPAC or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of certain statutory or contractual restrictions, (iv) violations of certain securities laws, or (v) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the Articles.

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Directors of
MPAC Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MPAC Corporation as at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of loss and deficit, of shareholders’ equity (capital deficiency) and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of MPAC Corporation as at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and the results of its operations and of its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
   
Going Concern
     
   
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. The company has a working capital deficiency of $35,152 and a capital deficiency of $306,872 at September 30, 2001 and requires additional capital in order to remain a going concern. The continuation of the company is dependent on its ability to obtain the necessary capital to achieve profitability and to meet the requirements, from time to time, of lenders, if any, who are willing to provide this financing. The company intends to obtain additional capital primarily through the issue of shares and debt.
     
   
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassifications which would be necessary if the company was unable to continue its operations.
     
    Operations and Basis of Consolidation
     
   
The company was incorporated on June 18, 1998 in Nevada, U.S.A. and commenced investment operations in October 1998. The company’s wholly-owned subsidiary company, 805332 Alberta Ltd. (“805332”), was incorporated on October 29, 1998 and its 99.98% owned subsidiary company, Micron Milling & Packaging Company Ltd. (“Micron”), was incorporated on August 20, 1998. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company, 805332 and Micron.
     
   
In October 1998 the company raised funds through the issue of shares and shareholder loans, which enabled 805332 to acquire a manufacturing facility located in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada in January 1999. The facility was used to process and package an agricultural product, using by-product sulphur as the primary feedstock, on a seasonal basis, largely between February and September each year. The company intended to manufacture sulphur-based fungicide product in the plant and market it in the United States. Due to financial difficulties caused by the lack of funds to meet ongoing lease obligations, 805332 was placed into receivership by two creditors, Sprague and Alves, on May 2, 2000. The Receiver was Smith Cageorge Bailey Inc. of Calgary, Alberta. In consultation with the creditors, it was agreed that the assets of 805332 would be bought from the Receiver by Micron, a company then independent of MPAC and 805332. It was further agreed that the required funding for the refurbishing of the plant and operations would be provided for by funds from Sprague and Alves, by investments from the principals of Micron (Messrs Uppal and Uppal) and by an investment from MPAC. Micron had not previously been a creditor of MPAC or 805332. It was also agreed on May 5, 2000 that MPAC would acquire the 76.5% shares of Micron owned by the two Uppals. The two Uppals would be appointed directors of MPAC upon completion of the acquisition.

1.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
     
    Micron was inactive from the date of its incorporation to the date it acquired the plant from the Receiver.
     
   
Following the sale of the assets of 805332 both MPAC and 805332 had no significant assets. 805332 came out of receivership on June 1, 2000 and at this point was 100% owned by MPAC Corp.
     
   
The company acquired Micron by exchanging the 76.5% of the common shares of Micron owned equally by the two Uppals for 6,400,000 common shares of 805332. Under the terms of the share exchange, these shares are convertible into 6,400,000 common shares of MPAC and have been recorded at a nominal value. The exchange of the Micron shares for shares of 805332 rather than an immediate exchange into MPAC shares is due to the more favourable tax treatment for the holders of the Micron shares, i.e., by exchanging their interest in Micron for shares in another Canadian corporation rather than a United States corporation, any tax consequences can be deferred until the ultimate conversion of their 805332 shares into MPAC common shares. The holders of the 805332 shares have consented to exercise the right of conversion at the time the company requests it, subject to an acceptable tax consequence on the conversion. 805332 has no other assets or operations and MPAC retains a minority interest in the company. Upon conversion MPAC will own a 100% interest in 805332.
     
   
The ultimate beneficial ownership of the sulphur fungicide manufacturing plant has, with the exception of three days in 2000, during which the plant was not operating, remained with the MPAC shareholders. These consolidated financial statements have accordingly been prepared as though the operations of the company, 805332 and Micron had been combined since their dates of incorporation.
     
    Revenue Recognition
     
   
The company’s only product is a sulphur-based fungicide used in agriculture. Revenue from the sale of this product is recognized at fair value when the product is shipped. Sales discounts are netted against the related sales.
     
    Cash Equivalents
     
    Cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid securities with maturities of three months or less.
     
    Inventory
     
   
Finished goods inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Raw materials inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Cost is determined using the average cost method.

1.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
     
   
Capital Assets
     
    Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded at annual rates considered adequate to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
     
        Automobile 30%
        Equipment 20%
        Computer equipment 30%
        Equipment under capital lease Straight line basis over lease term
     
   
Repairs and maintenance expenditures on capital assets are expensed when incurred unless they extend the productive life of the asset. In that case they are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset in accordance with the methods and rates noted above.
     
   
Management periodically reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon anticipated cash flows generated from such assets. The asset would be adjusted to reflect a valuation of the lower of cost or the net recoverable amounts calculated on an undiscounted cash flow basis. Management believes that there has been no impairment as at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000.
     
    Research and Development
     
    Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
     
    Government Assistance
     
      Research and Development Grants
       
     
Government grants for research and development which are non-refundable are accounted for using the cost reduction method whereby, when the company has reasonable assurance that the grants will be received, the grants are deducted from the related research and development expenditures. When the company does not have reasonable assurance that the grants will be received, they are not recorded until they are actually received. They are deducted from the related expenditures when received, or, if they are received in a subsequent period when no such research and development expenditures have been incurred, they are recorded as other income.
     
     
Government grants received before the related expenditures are incurred or which are repayable unless specific conditions are completed are deferred until the company has fulfilled all of its obligations related to the work and reporting requirements of the grants.

1.  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
   
Government Assistance
     
     
Investment Tax Credits
     
     
Investment tax credits are available to the company on defined expenditures related to the construction and operation of the plant. Investment tax credits are accounted for using the cost reduction method whereby, when the company has reasonable assurance that the tax credits will be realized, the credits are deducted from the cost of the related assets or the related expenses.
     
     
During the year ended September 30, 2001 the company recorded investment tax credits receivable from the Government of Canada amounting to $85,410 (2000 - $41,423) $13,841 (2000 - $10,136) of which related to capital asset purchases and $71,569 (2000 - $31,287) to qualifying expenses.
     
   
Foreign Currency Translation
     
   
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange revailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transaction. Translation gains and losses are included in the determination of accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity.
     
   
Translation adjustments for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 have not been material and therefore have been included in the determination of net loss for these years. In addition, there were no material transaction gains or losses during these years.
     
   
Use of Estimates
     
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures.Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates. Management believes such estimates to be reasonable.
     
   
Accounting Pronouncements
     
   
The company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date.

The common shares may be issued at the request of the owners of the 805332 shares or at the request of the company and have not been issued to date due to possible Canadian tax consequences to the owners of 805332 shares. The allotment of these common shares has been recorded as a nominal value.
      
 
On May 5, 2000, the company allotted 250,000 common shares to be issued as a finder’s fee related to the acquisition of Micron (Note 1). These common shares will be issued when the 805332 shareholders exercise their conversion rights and have been valued on the same basis as the 805332 conversion right.
   
 
On October 4, 2000, 70,000 common shares were allotted for the future issue to a financing consultant in conjunction with services rendered. These common shares are valued on the basis of this consulting work and cash consideration received by the company for common shares at the time agreement for the services was reached and will be issued when the services are completed.
   
 
The debt amounting to $58,743, which was payable to a company owned by a shareholder, was repaid by the issue of 114,851 common shares. The valuation was based on the accrued principal and interest owing and the cash consideration received by the company for common shares at the time agreement for the share repayment was reached.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2002
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited – See Notice to Reader)

 

1.  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
   
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and which include the following significant policies:
     
    Going Concern
     
   
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. The company has a working capital deficiency of $91,286 and a capital deficiency of $377,097 at March 31, 2002 and requires additional capital in order to remain a going concern. The continuation of the company is dependent on its ability to obtain the necessary capital to achieve profitability and to meet the requirements, from time to time, of lenders, if any, who are willing to provide this financing.
     
   
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassifications which would be necessary if the company was unable to continue its operations.
     
    Operations and Basis of Consolidation
     
   
The company was incorporated on July 18, 1998 in Nevada, U.S.A. and commenced investment operations in October 1998. The company’s wholly-owned subsidiary company, 805332 Alberta Ltd. (“805332”), was incorporated on October 29, 1998 andits 99.98% owned subsidiary company, Micron Milling & Packaging Company Ltd. (“Micron”), was incorporated on August 20, 1998. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company, 805332 and Micron.
     
   
805332 Alberta Ltd. acquired a manufacturing facility located in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada in November 1998. The facility was used to process and package agricultural products, using by-product sulphur as the primary feedstock, on a seasonal basis, largely between February and September each year. It intended to market this sulphur-based fungicide in the United States. Because of financial difficulty 805332 was placed in receivership and sold the manufacturing facility on May 2, 2000 to Micron. At that date, Micron was owned by two individuals. The company agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of Micron (by issuing shares to the current owners of that company) on May 5, 2000 and completed the acquisition by issuing 6,400,000 common shares of 805332 on February 19, 2001.The 805332 shares are convertible on a one-to-one basis into common shares of the company at the request of the holders of those shares. These consolidated financial statements have accordingly been prepared as though the operations of the company, 805332 and Micron had been combined since their dates of incorporation.

1.  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
     
   
Inventory
     
   
Finished goods inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Raw materials inventory is carried at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Cost is determined on the average cost basis.
     
   
Capital Assets
     
   
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded at annual rates considered adequate to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
     
   
Automobile
30%
   
Equipment
20%
   
Computer equipment
30%
   
Equipment under capital lease
Straight line basis over lease term
     
   
Research and Development Costs
     
   
Research costs, other than capital expenditures, are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria under generally accepted accounting principles for deferral and amortization. The company has not deferred any such development costs to date.
     
   
Investment Tax Credits
     
   
Investment tax credits are accounted for using the cost reduction method whereby, when the company has reasonable assurance that the tax credits will be realized, such credits are deducted from the expenses or assets to which they relate.
     
   
Foreign Currency Translation
     
   
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of income.

.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
     
   
Use of Estimates
     
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates.

INCOME TAXES
     
   
The company has incurred losses for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately Cdn$376,579 which can be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future years to 2007. The company has incurred losses for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $274,961 which can be carried forward to reduce taxable income in future years. The potential income tax benefits of these losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements.
   
   
   
     
   
The company also has available unclaimed Scientific Research and Experimental Development Expenditures of approximately Cdn$592,575 which may be carried forward indefinitely and used to reduce future income taxes in Canada.
   
   
     
8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
     
   
The company entered into a premises lease agreement with Finnie Holdings Ltd. (“Finnie”) on March 1, 2000, pursuant to which the company will be required to pay $31,676 to Finnie if it does not comply with all the covenants, conditions and obligations of the lease. Finnie will waive payment of the $31,676 at the end of the lease if the company complies with all the covenants, conditions and obligations of the lease. The initial lease term was for one year and the lease is renewable on a year to year basis until February 28, 2010.
   
   
   
   
     
   
Orders to cease operations for environmental contamination were issued for the premises the company operates from by Alberta Environment and the Town of Crossfield. The Alberta Environment order related to the operations of a previous tenant and it is expected that all costs relating to remedial work will be borne by Finnie. The order from the Town of Crossfield relates to the company’s operations. The management of the company has determined that the required remedial work was completed prior to the year end and that the order will be lifted prior to be commencement of the 2002 production season.
   
   
   
   
   
     
9.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     
   
The fair value of the company’s financial instruments, which are cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate their carrying value in these financial statements.
   
     
   
The company reduces its credit risk, the possibility that entities to which the company sells its products may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfil their obligations, by performing credit evaluations before sales are made.
