marine
geophysical survey (commercial), which focuses around oil and gas,
construction and oceanographic research and exploration, where we
market
to survey companies, research institutions, and salvage companies.
This
was our original focus, from founding in 1994. Our current products
encompass geophysical data collection and analysis, through to printers
to
output geophysical data collected by sonar. We believe that our marine
geophysical survey markets are experiencing rapid growth due to:
1)
successful new product introductions in recent periods; 2)
market-proximity benefits derived from 2004 relocation to the United
States; 3) initial market penetration into new sub-sectors of the
marine
geophysical survey markets; 4) the high price of oil and gas in the
past
few years, resulting in unprecedented exploration and production
activity.

on this
market following the acquisition of OmniTech AS, a Norwegian company,
in
December 2002 (now operating under the name of Coda Octopus Omnitech
AS),
a company which had developed a prototype system, the Echoscope™,
a unique, patented instrument which supplies accurate
real time three-dimensional visualization, measurement, data recording
and
mapping of underwater objects. We have recently completed developing
and
commenced marketing this first real time, high resolution,
three-dimensional underwater sonar imaging device which we believe
has
particularly important applications in the fields of port security,
defense and undersea oil and gas
development.

bid on a
small number of these in the last six months and hope for our first

the
purchase of complete solutions. However, in July 2007, we received
a $2.59
million order from the U.S. Department of Defense to build and deliver
three next- generation Underwater Inspection System (UIS)™ for the US
Coast Guard and other potential users, to enable rapid underwater
searches
in the nation’s ports and waterways. These units were accepted by the US
Coast Guard on December 15, 2007. The contract includes additional
options
which, if fully funded, would require us to deliver an additional
seven
UIS™ systems, or other development options which they may select. Pursuant
to a contract amendment on February 19, 2008, options with a contract
value of $1,527,149 were exercised. The contract was awarded to us
on a
sole source basis, which means that the product is considered to
be
available from one source only and under Federal rules may be acquired
from that source without competitive bidding process. Although this
is not
a complete port security system, it represents the first step towards
achieving this.

Continue

defense and security markets, increasing sales of these products
over the
course of this financial year - we are expecting previous growth
trends
broadly to continue over the course of the
year;
|
| · |
Start
to sell complete turnkey systems based around our leading Echoscope™ 3-D
technology, to open markets in law enforcement and inspection - a
great
deal of our R&D expenditure has been directed towards refining our
product and completing sales this year that are already in our
pipeline;
|

Continue
to deliver to the Coast Guard on the contract we were awarded last
July.
Work on stage 2 began in the second
quarter.
|
| · |
Deliver
on our first port security solution contract through the provision
of our
unique 3-D technology and other products and services, enabling us
to
provide complete solutions;
|
| · |
Leverage
our subsidiaries to take advantage of our lead in underwater sonar
technology by cross marketing all group products and services from
each
company;
and
|
| · |
Continue
to review and refocus our cost base where necessary to achieve a
cost base
commensurate with our current level of
activity.

First
mover advantage in 3-D sonar markets based on our patented technology,
research and development efforts and extensive and successful tests
that
date back almost two decades as well as the resulting broad customer
acceptance , as evidenced by orders for our product and its derivatives
from government agencies, research institutes and oil and gas companies,
that conduct their own testing prior to placing orders. There is
usually a
significant time period between introduction of the product to a
prospective customer and the purchase order. Prospective customers
need to test the product in the environment in which they intend
to use it
to ensure that it is suitable for its intended purpose. We hold the
patent for a “Method
for Producing a 3D image”
of , for example, a submerged object and/or underwater environment.
This patent, first applied for in Norway in 1998, is recorded in
the
European Patents Register, Australia, Norway and the USA. This
method is the culmination of approximately 20 years of research and
testing led by the three inventors/scientists, who worked for OmniTech
AS
which was acquired by us in December 2002. These individuals continue
to
work for us and are actively involved in producing and advancing
the
Echoscope™ which incorporates this patent.

method
in the marine environment, producing an image of a submerged or underwater
object or environment was accomplished strictly by two-dimensional
sonar.

to in
the warrant held by each selling stockholder which limitation is
subject
to waiver by the holder upon 61 days prior written notice to us (subject
to a further non-waivable limitation of 9.99%). Unless otherwise
indicated, for each selling stockholder, the number of shares beneficially
owned prior to this offering consists of shares of common stock currently
owned by the selling stockholder as well as an equal number of shares

At
October 31, 2005 we owed $70,584 to Weight Management Group Limited,
a UK
Company of which Mr. Reid is Director and Principal Stockholder,
for
certain services provided, including insurance, healthcare, recharged
expenses, vehicle contract hire and administrative services.
This balance
increased by approximately $5,566 as a result of fluctuating
exchange
rates, to $76,150 by October 31, 2006.
Since
October 31, 2006, the amount outstanding to Weight Management
Group
Limited has been transferred to Weight Management (UK) Ltd (see
below),
leaving no balance outstanding with this company at October 31,
2007.
|
|
|
·
|
As
of October 31, 2005, we owed an amount of $351,302 to Softworks
Limited,
a Scottish company of which Mr. Reid is a Director and Principal
Stockholder and of which Blair Cunningham, one of our executive
officers,
is a Director. During the year ended October 31, 2005,
Softworks Limited provided to us consultancy and programming
services
valued at $218,488, including services provided by Mr. Blair
Cunningham
and associated expenses for these services. Between November
2005 and July
2006, we provided Softworks Limited with technical support services
valued at $85,056. Softworks Limited also loaned us a cash sum
of $19,667 over the course of that year. We also received cash
totaling $69,108 in connection with receivables assigned to us by
Softworks Limited. A total of $520,289 was repaid to Softworks
Limited on our behalf by Dr R M Reid and Graham Reid, both family
members of Jason Reid, in consideration for which we issued to
these
individuals 4,029.70 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Of the
remaining outstanding amount, $51,121 was converted into 500
shares of
Series A Preferred Stock with an estimated fair value of $20,000,
which
has since been converted into 50,000 shares of our common stock. In
consideration for this early conversion, we also issued warrants
to
purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at a price ranging from
$1.30 to
$1.70. These warrants were valued at approximately $54,455. Allowing
for a
currency translation gain of $783, this left a balance due to
Softworks of
$1,316, which we repaid in cash on July 31, 2007. There is no
balance
outstanding between the two companies at October 31,
2007.
|
|
|
·
|
As
a result of a series of loan transactions, at October 31, 2005
we owed an
amount of $81,107 to Fairwater Technology Group Limited, a UK
company, of
which Mr. Reid is a Director and Principal Stockholder. A summary
of
material charges and payments between the two entities
follows:
|
|
|
·
|
A
dividend of $30,622 due to Fairwater for an earlier Series A
preferred
stock investment (since converted into shares of our common stock)
was
added to the amount owed by us in April 2006, which was paid
in June
2006;
|
|
|
·
|
An
additional $10,491 in cash was loaned to us by Fairwater Technology
Group
in April 2006; and
|
|
|
·
|
Of
the balance outstanding, $91,418 was converted into Series A
Preferred
Stock at April 30, 2006 (which has since been converted into
shares of our
common stock). Allowing for a currency translation gain of $177,
this left
a balance due to Fairwater of $878 which was repaid in cash on
July 31,
2007.
|
|
|
·
|
Dividends
due to Fairwater on series A preferred stock, before its conversion
on
March 25, 2007, were not paid but recognized as a loan from Fairwater
to
the Company, bearing no interest. This left an amount of $105,685
owed by
the Company to Fairwater at October 31, 2007.
|
|
|
·
|
At
October 31, 2005 we owed an amount of $67,435 to Weight Management
(UK)
Limited, a UK company of which Mr. Reid is a Director and Principal
Stockholder, for services rendered, including administration,
internet
hosting, office facilities and health insurance. This amount
was reduced
as follows:
|
|
|
·
|
From
November 2005 to June 2006, a variety of services were provided
by Weight
Management (UK) Limited, including health insurance, vehicles,
internet
hosting, administrative services, insurance, plus the recharge
of
telephone and travel costs incurred and paid for by Weight Management.
These services and recharges totaled $128,159.
|
|
|
·
|
From
July 2006 to October 2006, we supplied to Weight Management software
development and support services totaling $42,418.
|
|
|
·
|
We
subsequently repaid $98,940 in cash, leaving $54,236 outstanding
and due
to Weight Management at October 31, 2006.
|
|
|
·
|
This
amount has subsequently been further repaid through the provision
of
services by us to Weight Management to the value of $51,646,
with a
balance of $76,150 also transferred from Weight Management Group
(see
above). As at October 31, 2007 we are indebted to Weight
Management in an amount of $78,740.
|
|
|
·
|
Agreement
was made by the Company in September 2007 that an amount of $60,000
would
be repaid to this company in January
2008.
|
|
|
·
|
At
October 31, 2005, we owed $6,554 to Green Meadows Food Limited,
a United
Kingdom company, of which Mr. Reid is a Director, in connection
with the
sub-lease of a photocopier to us. Pursuant to this transaction
a further
$3,331 was invoiced to us during the year, and the whole amount
outstanding was settled in cash in April 2006, leaving no balance
outstanding at October 31, 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
At
October 31, 2005, we owed $170,297 to Mr. Reid and Mr. Ashley Reid
(the
latter being a family member of Mr. Reid) pursuant to a loan transaction.
This amount was repaid by the Company between January and April
2007,
leaving no balance outstanding at October 31, 2007.
