Risk Factors
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK. BEFORE MAKING A DECISION CONCERNING THE PURCHASE OF OUR SECURITIES, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS AND OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT WHEN YOU EVALUATE OUR BUSINESS. THE POTENTIAL SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS MODEL MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF OUR STATUS AS A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY.

Business Risks

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS FOR OUR INVESTORS
We may never become profitable. If we do achieve profitability at some point in the future, we cannot be certain that we will remain profitable or that profits will increase in the future. For further discussion, see the section of this document entitled " Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" below.

WE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDING SINCE WE EXPECT A NEGATIVE OPERATING CASH FLOW OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS
We expect to experience negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future as a result of significant upfront expenses needed to maintain operations. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funds in the short-term in order to fund our business plan. We will need to raise the funds by offering and selling equity securities or convertible debt securities, which will cause the percentage of ownership of our shareholders to be reduced. The securities issued to raise funds may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of the holders of our other securities, including our common stock. We do not have any contractual restrictions limiting our ability to incur debt. Any significant indebtedness, however, could restrict our ability to fully implement our business plan. If we are unable to repay the debt, we could be forced to cease operating. For further discussion, see liquidity and capital resources in the section of this document entitled “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” below.

FUTURE ISSUANCE OF DEBT MAY CONTAIN CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTIONS THAT MAY CURTAIL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN
We do not have any contractual restrictions limiting our ability to incur debt. Any significant indebtedness, however, could restrict our ability to fully implement our business plan. If we are unable to repay the debt, we could be forced to cease operating. For further discussion, see liquidity and capital resources in the section of this document entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" below.

THE EXPIRATION OF THE PATENT WHICH WE HAVE LICENSED MAY DECREASE OUR PROFITABILITY OR DESTROY OUR BUSINESS
The material part of our business is to be a producer and distributor of seed potatoes produced by a patented production system. PBI entered into an exclusive license agreement with Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) for this patented production system on December 27, 2002. Territories covered under this agreement include Korea, China, and Canada, and the agreement expires for each country on March 11, 2009, March 10, 2010, and March 1, 2010, respectively. This geographic limitation applies to production and distribution of micro-tubers (the first stage of a seed potato). In the case that we fail to become profitable before the expiration of our patent rights, we would be exposed to the risk of increased competition and could suffer a loss of revenue or higher than anticipated costs, which could seriously harm our operating results and ability to attract new business and retain existing business.
 
PBI MAY BE UNABLE TO GROW ITS PRODUCTS ON A SCALE SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT COMMERCIAL SALES
It is uncertain that PBI will find greenhouse contract farmers for its Minitubers (MNT) (small potatoes that are less than 1.5 inches in diameter) and field contract farmers with sufficient acreage for its field-planted seed potatoes. When PBI does find such contract farmers, there is no guarantee that the negotiation with those farmers will be successful. In such case, PBI may not be able to grow its products on a scale sufficient to warrant commercial sales.

WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE CUSTOMER BASE NECESSARY TO BECOME OR REMAIN PROFITABLE, WHICH DECREASES THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK
The seed potato industry is highly competitive. Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources than us. Our primary competitors for customers include Technico Pty. Limited, an Australian agri-biotechnology company, Quantum Tubers Corporation, a Wisconsin based company and Bon Accord elite seed potato centre, Canada's leading seed potato provider. Many of our competitors have substantial installed customer bases and the ability to fund significant production and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. For further discussion, see competition under the section of this document entitled "Description of Business" below.

OUR PRODUCT COULD BE DESTROYED BY DISEASE, WHICH DECREASES OUR OPPORTUNITY FOR A PROFITABLE BUSINESS
Factors that may affect the quality of the seed tuber include the attack of pests and pathogens such as Potato Cyst Nematode and Columbia Root Knot Nematode. In the early multiplication stages of a seed potato such as nuclear stock (1) and Pre-Elite there is almost zero percent disease tolerance within the stock. Nuclear stocks, including plantlets (small potato plants), microtubers (small potato tubers in the size of a pea) and minitubers (small potatoes which are less than 1.5 inches in diameter), are produced from potato tissue culture material, which has been tested in a laboratory. PBI will first produce microtubers and plantlets at a laboratory, and these microtubers and plantlets are planted in greenhouses in the spring of the following year. From the greenhouses, minitubers, the last stage of nuclear stock seed potatoes, are harvested in the autumn that year and are planted in the field in the spring of the following year. In the autumn, the first field seed potatoes are harvested and called Pre-Elite seed potatoes. Tissue culture (2) and greenhouse cultivation will be strictly controlled and protected against such infections, but there is no assurance that there is no possibility of infection during the later multiplication stages.
(1) Nuclear stock: produced from potato tissue culture material that has been tested in the laboratory and found to be free of all disease pathogens.
(2) Tissue culture: growth of cells from higher organisms in a sterile container, which contains the nutrients necessary for cell growth.

NATURAL DISASTERS
Natural disaster such as flooding, earthquakes or drought and extreme weather conditions will affect the production yields, especially the production in the field. PBI will do its best to minimize the loss in such cases, but PBI's business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously affected by this factor.

PBI MAY FAIL GOVERNMENT INSPECTIONS REQUIRED BY THE CANADA SEED ACT
In Canada, every commercial seed potato grower must apply for the government's inspection of its nuclear stock culture facilities and seed potato field as prescribed in the Canada seed act. Should seed potatoes grown in the field fail to pass inspection they can be used only as table potatoes. PBI anticipates generating revenues from the sales of its products in 2005 and 2006, assuming the certification of the seed potato by government. If PBI fails government inspections, PBI will not be able to sell its seed potatoes to the public. In this scenario, we will not be able to generate any revenues from sales. PBI will apply for government inspections; however there is no assurance that PBI will pass the inspections. In such a case, the operations of PBI will be seriously affected and PBI's projected production and sales revenue would seriously decrease.

THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND CAUSE OUR STOCK TO DECLINE IN VALUE.
We are dependent on Jai Woo Lee, president and a director to implement our business plan, and the loss of his services may have a negative affect on our ability to timely and successfully implement our business plan. Currently, Jai Woo Lee is devoting full time to PBI's operation. We do not have an employment agreement with Jai Woo Lee, CEO and president, and nor have we obtained key man insurance with respect to such person.

5

 
THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, TRADE SECRETS AND KNOW-HOW, WHICH WOULD REMOVE A BARRIER TO COMPETITION AND MAY DIRECTLY AFFECT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE IT GENERATES.
PBI depends heavily on its intellectual property and is dependent on its ability to maintain the confidentiality of its biotechnology. Although PBI intends to employ various methods which include patents, trademarks, copyrights and confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and third party businesses to protect its intellectual property and trade secrets, there can be no assurance that it will be able to maintain the confidentiality of any of its proprietary technologies, know-how or trade secrets, or that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent technology. PBI entered into an exclusive license agreement with Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) for the patented seed potato production system on December 27, 2002. Territories covered under this agreement include Korea, China and Canada and the agreement expires for each country on March 11, 2009, March 10, 2010, and March 1, 2010, respectively. The failure or inability to protect these rights could have a material adverse effect on PBI's operations.

INVESTMENT RISKS

OUR ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES MAY HAVE THE EFFECT OF DILUTING THE INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS; OUR COMMON STOCK SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT HAVE PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
Any additional issuances of common stock by us from our authorized but unissued shares may have the effect of diluting the percentage interest of existing shareholders. The securities issued to raise funds may have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of the holders of our other securities, including our common stock. The board of directors has the power to issue such shares without shareholder approval. We fully intend to issue additional common shares in order to raise capital to fund our business operations and growth objectives.

WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, WHICH MAKES INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK SPECULATIVE OR RISKY.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The board of directors has sole authority to declare dividends payable to our stockholders. The fact that we have not and do not plan to pay dividends indicates that we must use all of our funds generated by operations for reinvestment in our business activities. Investors also must evaluate an investment in PBI solely on the basis of anticipated capital gains.

LIMITED LIABILITY OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY DISCOURAGE SHAREHOLDERS FROM BRINGING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages and provide for indemnification of officers and directors. These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against officers and directors for breaches of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors even though such action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the shareholders. In addition, a shareholder's investment in PBI may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay costs of settlement and damage awards against officers or directors pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the bylaw. The impact on a shareholder's investment in terms of the cost of defending a lawsuit may deter the shareholder from bringing suit against any of our officers or directors. We have been advised that the SEC takes the position that these article and bylaw provisions do not affect the liability of any director under applicable federal and state securities laws.

SINCE WE ARE A CANADIAN COMPANY AND MOST OF OUR ASSETS AND KEY PERSONNEL ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE ANY UNITED STATES JUDGMENT FOR CLAIMS YOU MAY BRING AGAINST US, OUR ASSETS, OUR KEY PERSONNEL OR THE EXPERTS NAMED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
We have been organized under the laws of Canada. Many of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of the members of our board of directors and our officers and the experts named in this document are residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be impossible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons or to enforce against us or these persons any judgments in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under United States federal securities laws. In addition, a Canadian court may not permit you to bring an original action in Canada or to enforce in Canada a judgment of a U.S. court based upon civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws.

Item 4. Information on the Company

A.
History and Development of the Company
Penn Biotech Inc. (PBI or UTS or the Company) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on October 23, 2002 under the Company Act of British Columbia, as a privately owned company that operated from its corporate headquarters located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company changed its name January 13, 2005 to United Traffic System Inc.

PBI has the exclusive right to use patented biotechnology, Mass Production of Seed Potatoes (Potato Microtubers) under its license agreement with the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB). PBI is a development stage company with no significant revenue to date. As of December 31st, 2004, PBI has reported cumulative operating losses of $1,623,417.

PBI acquired the exclusive right to use the Mass Production of Seed Potatoes (Potato Microtubers) patent provided by KRIBB through a license agreement. The agreement allows PBI to use the technology and produce seed tubers for 10 years under the condition of paying 1% of the annual net sales revenue to KRIBB while the contract is effective.

PBI developed its tissue culture at a laboratory leased from Olds College Centre for Innovation (OCCI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Olds College in Olds, Alberta, Canada. The term of the lease contract for the laboratory was for 3 years and a monthly payment for using a lab space and sharing one full time technician with OCCI amounted to approximately $5,300. In November 2004, PBI abandoned its lease with OCCI and vacated the premises pursuant to a mutual agreement between PBI and OCCI. PBI is working to relocate its seed potato operations to Yanji in Jilin province and to Wuxi in Yunnan province, both in China.
 
During 2003, PBI purchased, at nominal cost, propagation equipment with a replacement value of approximately $550,000 USD from WorldCup Finance Ltd. This equipment is currently located in China. This unique equipment, used in the cultivation of the seed potatoes, was acquired through an intermediary from a Korean company and a former licensee of the KRIBB license who had commissioned the equipment especially for the growth of seed potatoes using the methodology subsequently licensed by PBI. Some of this equipment has been shipped to China where it will be employed in the Company’s future operations there. Due to its specialty nature, the Company had placed a substantial value on the equipment, and then negotiated a price with the intermediary, which was then settled in restricted shares of PBI. However, as at the time of settlement the shares of PBI were very thinly traded, the original owner was bankrupt and its records unavailable, and due to an unwillingness of the intermediary to disclose its own cost, the company has taken the conservative position and placed only a nominal value of $1.00 on the equipment.

7


In cooperation with Olds College, PBI had applied for financial aid under the IRAP Technology Partnership Canada program (IRAP-TPC) of the National Research Council of Canada. This application was not successful and was abandoned

In order to have better access to business opportunities with potato growers, PBI has registered as an industry associate at potato growers of Alberta. PBI will also participate in various trade shows and present its patented technology which enables mass production of seed potatoes. PBI also attended the 5th World Potato Congress, held in Kunming, China in March 2004.

PBI intends to finance its administrative, start up and initial operating costs by the sale of its shares, other shareholder financings and standard business trade financing. No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management, stockholders or anyone else. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to PBI or at all. The absence of funding would make the successful completion of PBI's business plan doubtful.

Currently, Jai Woo Lee is devoting full time to operating PBI, negotiating various contracts for operational purposes, assessing future business opportunities and attracting potential investors.

On December 22, 2003, the Company agreed to acquire the exclusive license to manufacture, install and sell technology owned by Traffic-Its Co., Ltd. The license is to provide the Company with the right to use the technology for the longer of 30 years, or the duration of the patents involved, and to commercially exploit the technology in Asia, Europe, and North America. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company determined the licensor had failed to comply with the terms of the agreement and cancelled the agreement. After renewed negotiations, PBI has re-entered its agreement with Traffic-Its Co., Ltd. and, subsequent to December 31, 2004, PBI changed its name to United Traffic System Inc.

B. Business Overview

Penn Biotech Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Penn Biotech" or "PBI" or the "Company") intends to be a provider of seed potatoes to the seed potato market in China. The first technology the company obtained was the acquisition of a license from the Korean Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology to utilize their technology to grow seed potatoes. This technology enables seed potatoes to reach commercialization earlier than conventional methods, so reducing costs and risks for growers. In addition, the seed potatoes grown using this technology are of improved quality and will enhance farm productivity. The license provides the Company with the right to use the production technology for a ten-year period and to commercially exploit the license in Canada, Korea and China. The company currently conducts field operations in the province of Yanji in Jilin province and Wuxi in Yunnan province, both in China, after closing down its Canadian operation in Alberta due to low market demand affected in part by the “low-carb diet” and to lack of funding. PBI is in the pre-production stage for the production of its seed potatoes.

PBI passed the annual inspection of its laboratory in Canada in 2004 and therefore the Company’s seed potatoes to be planted in 2005 will be certified.

Currently, Jai Woo Lee, the president of PBI, is negotiating various contracts for operational purposes, assessing future business opportunities and attracting potential investors. PBI's goal is to be self-sufficient within the next two years and to then focus on expanding its market to supply PBI's seed potatoes to farmers and food processing companies and to successfully bid on specific traffic control contract opportunities. To reach its goal, PBI intends to rely on the sale of its shares, other shareholder financings, and standard business trade financing.

Our Product
MASS PRODUCTION OF SEED POTATOES (POTATO MICROTUBERS)

PBI has the exclusive right to use the patented biotechnology, Mass Production of Seed Potatoes (Potato Microtubers) in Korea, China, and Canada under its license agreement with the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB).

The conventional system used in most major potato producing countries requires such stages as: (1) meristem (2) tissue culture (3) disease indexing (4) plantlets and (5) multiplication
(1) Meristem: a group of plant cells that can divide indefinitely. The meristem provides new cells for the plant as the tips of roots or stems grow; ie the growing tip.
(2) Tissue culture: growth of cells from higher organisms in a sterile container, which contains the nutrients necessary for cell growth
(3) Disease indexing: testing of tissue culture material for the presence of known diseases according to standard testing procedures
(4) Plantlet: a small plant, usually one produced vegetatively from a parent
(5) Multiplication: propagation of plants in test tubes; planting the plantlets in a green house to produce a small quantity of minitubers; many years (normally 5-8 years) of repeated in the open field.

PBI's technology allows subcultures to be produced without degeneration of genes in uniquely designed culture dishes. A feature of the culture dish disperses the specially composed culture medium (i) evenly throughout the stems allowing the stems to absorb the nutritive elements in the culture medium, eliminating possible degeneration. Another feature of the culture dish is the hygienic air respiratory function, which provides a sufficient amount of antiseptic air circulation while preventing any possible aerial infection. The culture dishes are stackable and one culture dish has a holding capacity of 10 plantlets allowing PBI's system to yield a high multiplication of plantlets with space-efficiency compared to the conventional system where large space is required to grow each plantlet in a separate flask or tube.
(i) Culture medium: Any nutrient system for the cultivation of cells

The distinctive feature of this system is that it leads to mass production of micro-tubers, which replace the conventional plantlets. Through PBI's technology, micro-tubers are produced from the shoot tips (ii) cultured in-vitro under aseptic conditions after the elimination of diseases is ensured. This facilitates not only genetic stability of the mother plantlet (iii), but also ensures that there is no chance of any re-infection of disease. Micro-tubers are mass-produced in the laboratory for 80 days. At the first stage, plantlets are produced and multiplied from the shoot tips cultured in-vitro for 20 days in the first growth chamber. This first growth chamber is designed to control and provide light necessary for plant germination and growth. After this stage, which is the same as in the conventional system, the plantlets are moved to the second growth chamber. This chamber has no light and only controls temperature. The dark, warm chamber provides a similar environment as underground so that the plantlets form micro-tubers (MCT) over the next 60 days without the energy waste of growing leaf material as in the conventional system.
(ii) Shoot tips: new growth on part of a plant
(iii) Mother plantlet: a plant part aseptically excised and prepared for culture in a nutrient medium to be used as a source of plant material for tissue culture

Mini-tubers (iv) are harvested from the micro-tubers that have grown in a greenhouse using a pot cultivation method with an artificially sterilized soil medium. The mini-tubers can then grow in the field in the second year to produce Pre-Elite seed potatoes. The nuclear seed potato replicates all of the beneficial characteristics found in a mature table (food) potato.
(iv) Tuber: a short thick rounded part of a stem usually found underground. The potatoes that we eat are tubers of the potato plant

The first stage of seed potato production, microtubers (MCT), will be carried out in a rented laboratory. To minimize expenses until supportive revenues are generated, PBI has decided to locate and rent a tissue culture laboratory and outsource lab technicians. MCT take approximately 180 days to grow into MNT in a lab and MCT can be produced all year around.

MCT will be grown in a laboratory, harvested and transferred to a green house to become MNT, harvested and then planted in the field, in April in the following year, to become Pre-Elite.
Production of the second stage minitubers (MNT) will be contracted out to local greenhouse farmers. PBI intends to provide the seed potato (MCT) to be planted and will pay a fee for the planted greenhouse acreage.

Pre-Elite are then harvested and planted to become Elite 1*. Elite 1 will be harvested and sold by PBI to later generation seed potato growers and table potato farmers. Each class of seed potatoes will take one year to produce since it involves normal crop planting and harvesting processes.
PBI's objective is to cultivate commercial seed potatoes at competitive prices and estimates that it will require $500,000 to finance its seed production and business operations until revenue from seed potato production starts late in the year 2005.

PBI started operation at a laboratory in Olds, Alberta July 2003 and has produced plantlets and MCTs in the laboratory. PBI harvested MCTs in December 2003 and planted for MNT’s, harvested in 2004 to be planted in China in 2005. PBI intended to produce MNTs at a contracted greenhouse facility in Alberta but subsequently abandoned the Alberta operations.

For marketing and sales of MNTs, PBI will hire a salesperson. The salesperson will develop and put into practice marketing and sales plans. When product is ready PBI anticipates that it will take approximately six to ten weeks to develop its sales and marketing plans, once funding has been obtained.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management, stockholders or anyone else. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to PBI or at all. The absence of funding would make the successful completion of any of the Phases of PBI's business plan doubtful.

*Eight Classes of Seed Potatoes:
1. Nuclear stock: produced from potato tissue culture material, which has been tested in the laboratory and found to be free of all disease pathogens. Nuclear stock includes plantlets, microtubers and minitubers.
- Plantlet: a small plant, usually one produced vegetatively from a parent
- Microtubers (MCT): produced in the laboratory from tissue culture plantlets by varying the light intensity and growth media of the plantlets. Microtubers, which are approximately the size of a pea, are produced in the axils of the leaves.
- Minitubers (MNT): small seed tubers, less than 1 1/2 inches in diameter, that are produced in sterile growing media in the greenhouse.
2. Pre-elite: produced from MNT or traditionally from nuclear stock or from cuttings or plants that were produced in a protected environment or from tubers or selected clones determined by laboratory tests to be free from any disease that could affect the quality of the seed
3. Elite I: produced after two years in the field or two times of field planting
4. Elite II: produced after three years in the field or three times of field planting
5. Elite III: produced after four years in the field or four times of field planting
6. Elite IV: produced after five years in the field or five times of field planting
7. Foundation: produced after six years in the field or six times of field planting
8. Certified: produced after seven years in the field or seven times of field planting

Industry Overview
Biotechnology Industry
According to Ernst and Young's Beyond Borders: The Global Biotechnology Report 2002, there are 4,284 biotechnology companies worldwide, and 622 out of 4,284 are public companies. In 2001, those public companies generated revenues of $35 billion, spent $16 billion on Research and Development and employed more than 188,000 people* (Bizsites. Com).

A report from Statistics Canada, released in February 2003, states that there were 375 biotechnology firms in Canada in 2001. These companies generated revenues of $3.6 billion, spent $1.3 billion on Research and Development and employed 11,897 people* (Statistics Canada). 267 companies are small with 50 or fewer employees*(Statistics Canada). One third of Canadian biotechnology companies have not yet earned any revenues from biotech activities; however, both the number of firms producing revenues and the amount of revenues are increasing*(Statistics Canada). Revenues rose from $813 million in 1997 to $3.5 billion in 2001*(Statistics Canada). Approximately one quarter of the companies are publicly traded* (BioteCanada). The total market capitalization of Canada's biotech sector has increased from $8billion in 1997 to over $20billion in 2001 *(BioteCanada). Despite the many advances that have been made and the products that have become a commercial reality, only a modest fraction of the potential of biotechnology has been realized to date. The international effort focused on biotechnology continues to expand as products of research assume prominent positions in the international market place.

Potato Industry
Total of 309,306,566 tonnes of potatoes were produced worldwide in 2001* (Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO)). This volume is worth US$48 billion when calculated at the average price of US$155.07/ tonne*(Agriculture Division Statistical Bulletin, Statistics Canada). According to the International Centre for Potatoes (CIP) of Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the potato industry is in its mature stage for developed countries, including U.S.A., Canada and the Netherlands while potato production in developing countries entered a rapid expansion phase in the late 1990's. Especially, potato production has increased faster in Asia than anywhere else, with China as the world's largest producer with 20% of the total world production*(Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO)). Out of the potatoes worldwide produced, 170 million tonnes were used for human consumption* (Industry Note: Food and Agribusiness Research, Rabobank International). The largest segment in the potato market is still represented by the table potato, but the processing industry and the seed potato business are becoming increasingly significant as consumer s become more demanding. The world average per capital consumption amounts 29kg, and global consumption of potatoes is experiencing strong growth around 4.5% annually* (Industry Note: Food and Agribusiness Research, Rabobank International). Especially, as the lifestyle and diet change, the demand of processed potatoes is steeply rising* (Industry Note: Food and Agribusiness Research, Rabobank International).

Canada, as the world's 13th largest potato producer, produced about 1.3% of the total world potatoes in 2001. The potato accounts for about year 2001's 35% of all Canadian vegetable farm cash receipts* (2001/2002 Canadian Potato Situation and Trends, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) As for the seed potato segment, the world's total seed potato production was 35,154,103 tonnes in 2002* (FAO). With production of 307,000 tonnes, Canada accounts for 0.86% of the total world seed potato production. As the quality of seed potatoes plays an important role in determining the yields, great efforts have been put into the improvement of seed potatoes and the development of high productivity strains. Since the early 1980s, the use of tissue culture methods has greatly facilitated the production process of pathogen-free potato seed.

Marketing and Sales
PBI will use various sources to advertise its products. PBI attended the World Potato Congress held in Kunming, China in March 2004 and introduced its technology and products to many players in the potato growing and processing industries. The PBI tuber and its biotechnology will be introduced in more trade shows such as the New Brunswick Potato Conference and Trade Show, the Saskatchewan Seed Potato Growers Association Conference and Trade Show; the Western Canada Crop Production Show and the International Potato Expo and Technology Show. Websites and magazines, including Spudman and Successful Farming Magazine, will be used to increase market awareness of PBI seed potatoes. Samples of products will also be distributed to prominent growers and recognized institutions.

PBI will publish a variety of information materials, such as company brochures and product pamphlets, to introduce PBI's system and products. The company brochures will include information such as company introduction, profile of management team, as well as photos of PBI laboratory where microtubers are produced. The product pamphlets will briefly explain how and where PBI technology was developed; how PBI technology is different from other MCT production technologies; and how PBI products are different from competitors' products. PBI will publish these information materials and distribute them to large-scale potato farms, government offices, and food processing companies in China and in Canada. In addition, PBI will establish its company website so that anyone with access to the Internet can enter the website and learn about the Company, its technology and its products. To increase public interest in potatoes and the potato industry, PBI website will also include the information such as the nutritional values of potatoes, facts of potato production, the history of potatoes, etc.

PBI will retain farms for producing pre-elite and E-1 class seed potatoes after PBI provides them mini-tubers. Industry contacts coupled with direct mail, attendance at trade shows and general advertising will develop clients for sales.

11

 
Competition
Currently, there is no one dominant seed potato producing company or farm in the world market. The following are some of the leading seed potato producers: TECHNICO PTY. LIMITED is an Australian agri-biotechnology company commercializing their TECHNITUBER(R) technology with operation facilities in Australia, China, India, Mexico, Thailand, and the USA. Technico Pty. Limited., with a key strategic alliance with global food processors including Frito Lay Inc., now specializes in the supply chain management with production of early generation seed. QUANTUM TUBERS CORPORATION, a Wisconsin-based company, uses its own Quantum TubersTM manufacturing technology to produce minitubers. BON ACCORD ELITE SEED POTATO CENTRE, Canada's leading seed potato provider, receives in vitro plantlets and microtubers from the Plant Propagation Centre, and multiplies these to produce nuclear stock, pre-elite and elite 1 seed potatoes.

Employees
PBI currently has no employees. The president of the Company, Jai Woo Lee, commits his full time to developing the Company and contracts out specific required functions where required. PBI expects to engage one marketing manager and one technical officer. For the tissue culture lab operation, at least one full-time lab technician will be hired on a contract. We expect our labour relations to be good. None of our employees will be covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Government Regulation
The government of Canada runs a seed potato certification program and recommends all potato growers to use certified seed potatoes. The program is designed to regulate the variety, purity and health of seed stocks so that the quality and productivity of seeds are preserved. Even though there is no other specific requirement to start a seed potato business, all seeds and fields are subject to the inspections set by the Canadian Seed Act. The history of growers and planting areas, environmental conditions, and number of generations are all examined before seeds are certified. If an inspector has inspected crops in a farm unit and finds that they meet the standards set out in the regulations, the inspector shall issue to the grower a crop certificate specifying the class and variety of each crop; the number of plants or the number of acres that passed inspection for each class and variety; and the certificate number for each class and variety. The certification program is national, and certified seed potatoes are sold in every province of Canada. In 2002, a total of 80,843 acres passed the inspections.

In our opinion, our planned seed potato production will conform to the restrictions and regulations currently in place and reasonably anticipated.

C.
Organizational Structure
PBI was incorporated on October 23, 2002 under the laws of British Columbia, Canada as a privately owned company. The Company vacated its laboratory located within the Olds College Centre for Innovation (OCCI), Olds, Alberta, Canada. The Company changed its name to United Traffic System Inc. January 13, 2005.

D.
Property, Plant and Equipment
PBI rents on a month-to-month basis its principal executive offices located at 16th Floor, 543 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 1X8. There is no security deposit. The office facilities in the principal executive offices are leased from the property owners. Subsequent to December 31, 2004 the Company vacated its offices at 543 Granville Street in order to reduce costs. We do not carry tenants insurance for office contents. The Company is looking for suitable office space and expects to be re located July 1, 2005.

PBI leased its tissue culture laboratory from OCCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Olds College in Olds, Alberta, The term of the lease contract for the laboratory was for 3 years and a monthly payment for using a lab space and sharing one full time technician with OCCI amounts to approximately $5,300. During November 2004 PBI abandoned its leased premises pursuant to mutual agreement with OCCI.

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
The following discussion and analysis is based on and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements including the notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere herein. The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared using US dollars and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

12


A.
Operating Results
Year comparisons between 2004 and 2003
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company achieved sales revenues of $4,957 compared with sales revenues of $nil for the period ended December 31, 2003. The Company's net loss for the period increased to $1,349,209 in 2004 from a loss of $248,365 in 2003. Such increase in the operating loss was due primarily to costs incurred in salaries to administer the Company (2004 - $112,056; 2003 - $54,881), and to an increase in consulting fees (2004 - $900,499; 2003 - $5,282). In the same period, the working capital deficiency increased to $(514,297) in 2004 from a deficiency of $(343,719) in 2003. As of the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated stockholders’ deficiency of $(511,971). The current year’s contribution to the deficit was financed in part by a $199,834 net increase in related party loans. Subsequent to December 31, 2004 the Company approved the settlement of the related party loan by the issuance of stock per a debt settlement agreement and had, as of May 31, 2005, settled $235,000 of the loan for the issuance of 9,500,000 shares of common stock.

B.
Liquidity and capital resources
Our initial sources of liquidity are expected to be related party loans and equity financing. PBI has on hand as at December 31, 2004 $322 and anticipates expending an additional $500,000 to advance to sales over the next years planned business strategy. We will need additional funding in order to maintain research and to produce and distribute our products that are under development.
There can be no assurances that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to us in the amounts required at any particular time or for any particular period or if available, that it can be obtained on satisfactory terms. We have no arrangements in place with our officers, directors or affiliates to provide liquidity to us.

We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months in order to continue implementing our business plan and commence full operations. We will need to raise the funds through debt or equity financing or a combination of both. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities, the issuance of such securities is likely to result in dilution to our shareholders. There can be no assurance that sources of capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to continue as a going concern, and might have to reorganize under bankruptcy laws, liquidate or enter into a business combination. We have not presently identified any probable business combination. If adequate funds are not available within the next twelve months, we may be required to significantly curtail our operations or no longer be able to operate.

C.
Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.
Research and Development
It is the goal of the Company to continually make enhancements and improvements to its products. Costs incurred to make routine enhancements or improvements, design changes to existing products and trouble shooting in production is excluded from research and development expenses.

Proprietary Technology
Intellectual Property
PBI's technology for microtuber mass production was developed by Dr. Hyouk Joung and his staff at Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) in Korea. PBI made a contract with KRIBB for the exclusive right to use the technology in Korea, China, and Canada. The PBI micro-tuber system has received the "President Award of 1998" in the category of "Innovative Technology" in Korea and is protected by patents in Korea, China and Canada.

There currently are no laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital or that affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities, other than withholding tax requirements.

There is no limitation, imposed either by Canadian law or by the Articles of Incorporation and other charter documents of the Company, on the right of a non-resident to hold voting shares of the Company, other than as provided by the Investment Canada Act as amended (the "Act") and as amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Canada) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement Implementation Act. The Act requires notification and, in certain cases, advance review and approval by the Government of Canada of the acquisition by a "non-Canadian" of "control of a Canadian business," all as defined in the Act. Generally, the threshold for review will be higher in monetary terms for a member of the WTO or NAFTA.

E.
Taxation
United States and Canada: there are reciprocal tax treaties between Canada and the United States.
Potential purchasers are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state, local and applicable foreign tax laws of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares.

Subsidiary Information
Not Applicable

Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk exposures due to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in the foreign exchange rate between the CDN$ and the US$ may affect us due to the effect of such changes on any shareholder distributions to the shareholders using US$ as a main currency. Penn Biotech Inc. denominates its financial statements in the United States dollars but conducts its daily affairs in Canadian dollars. We are not currently carrying significant amounts of short term or long-term debt. Upward fluctuations in interest rates increase the cost of additional debt and the interest cost of outstanding floating rate borrowings.

Inflation
We do not consider that inflation in Canada has had a material impact on our results of operations. Inflation in Canada in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 was 2.7%, 2.6%, 2.2% and 1.6% respectively.

Not Applicable

Item 15. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, the principal executive officers and directors of the Company have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company as defined in §§240.13a-15(c) and 240.15d-15(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors of the Company that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and up to the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore no corrective actions were taken or may occur and not be detected.

Item 16. (Reserved)

Item 16A. Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company does not yet have an audit committee financial expert. The Company is in the formative stage and has focused its requirements on biotech experts for its board of directors. The Company intends to appoint a financial expert once commercial operations commence.

Item 16B. Code of Ethics
The Company does not have in place a written code of ethics that applies to its executive, financial or accounting officers or to persons performing similar functions. The Company is dependent upon its president to lead by example and has faith in his ability to do so. Once the Company becomes more diverse in its operations and where required by regulation, it intends to implement a code of ethics for its officers. The Company does not plan to grant any waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of business conduct and ethics to any person.

Item 16C. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the stockholders of
United Traffic Systems Inc.

We have audited the balance sheets of United Traffic Systems Inc. (formerly Penn Biotech Inc.) (A development Stage Company) as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the years then ended and for the cumulative period from inception on October 23, 2002 to December 31, 2004. 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 audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 statements presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flow for the year ended and for the cumulative period from inception on October 22, 2002 to December 31, 2004 in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements as at, and for the period from inception on October 23, 2002 to December 31, 2002, were reported on by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated January 31, 2003.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS
ON CANADA - U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE


 
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the stockholders dated June 24, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and 2003
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)


1.
GOING CONCERN

United Traffic System Inc. (the “Company” or “PBI”) was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on October 23, 2002. On January 13, 2005 the Company changed its name from Penn Biotech Inc.

The Company has acquired the exclusive right to use patented technology to produce seed potatoes. The Company's planned principal business operations include the production and sale of seed potatoes. To date the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to implementing the patented technology to produce seed potatoes at full production capacity in a tissue culture facility at Olds Agricultural College, Alberta. In November, 2004 the Company abandoned the Olds facility and is working to relocate its operations to the People’s Republic of China.

On December 22, 2003, the Company agreed to acquire the exclusive license to manufacture, install and sell technology owned by Traffic-Its Co., Ltd. The license is to provide the Company with the right to use the technology for the longer of 30 years, or the duration of the patents involved, and to commercially exploit the technology in Asia, Europe, and North America. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Company determined the licensor had failed to comply with the terms of the agreement and cancelled the agreement. After renewed negotiations, PBI has re-entered its agreement with Traffic-Its Co., Ltd. and, subsequent to December 31, 2004, PBI changed its name to United Traffic System Inc.

The Company has not yet generated significant revenue from its planned principal business operations. As of December 31, 2004 the Company is considered a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (“SFAS No. 7”).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishments of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses during period from inception on October 23, 2002 to December 31, 2004 of $1,623,417.

The Company requires financing to fund its future operations and will attempt to meet its ongoing liabilities as they fall due through the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary financing to continue in operation or meet its liabilities as they fall due or be successful in achieving profitability from its planned principle operations. Should the Company be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets or discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the Company may not be able to remain in operation and the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the balance sheet.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Significant accounting principles utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are summarized below:

Basis of presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued


Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable and when collectability is reasonably assured.

Seed potato crop cost
Seed potato crop costs are expensed as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost. Expenditures incurred for replacement and betterment of property and equipment are capitalized when incurred. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method at the following annual rates:

Laboratory equipment
10 years
Laboratory leaseholds
  3 years
Office furniture
  5 years

License
Licenses are initially recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the underlying technology. The seed potato production license is amortized over ten years, the estimated life of this technology.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 144 established a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.

Stock-based compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 encourages a fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation and requires entities to adopt that method of accounting for its awards of stock-based compensation to non-employees. SFAS 123 allows an entity to continue to recognize employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as described in Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin Opinion No. 25 ”Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”(“APB 25”). The Company has elected to account for employee stock-based compensation as prescribed under APB 25.

Foreign currency translation
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its books and records are maintained in Canadian dollars. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar are accounted for in Canadian dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the time. Foreign currency gains and losses are included in earnings. These financial statements are presented in United States ("US") dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the time the transactions occurred, which is approximated by the use of a weighted average rate of exchange for the periods presented. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as an element of other comprehensive income in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss and in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Earnings (loss) per share
Earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Convertible equity securities, such as convertible preferred shares, stock options and stock purchase warrants would not be considered in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Income taxes
The Company follows SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS 123R “Share-based Payments”, effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R requires a fair value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation and other share-based payments. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R upon its effective date.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 ("SFAS 153"), “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets". SFAS 153 replaces guidance previously issued under APB Opinion No. 29 "Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions" ("Opinion 29"), which was based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion 29 included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and provides a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will comply with this guidance for any non-monetary transactions after the effective date.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Credit risk
Cash, amounts receivable and the amount due from a related party expose the Company to credit risk. The Company minimizes its exposure to credit risk by transacting with parties that are believed to be credit worthy. The Company maintains cash accounts at one Canadian chartered bank, thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company believes credit risk associated with cash is remote.

Fair value
The fair value of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due from (to) a related party is approximated by their book values due to their short terms to maturity.
