Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, include the accounts of Creative Vistas, Inc. (“CVAS”), Creative Vistas Acquisition Corp. (“AC Acquisition”), AC Technical Systems Ltd. (“AC Technical”), Iview Holding Corp. (“Iview Holding”), Iview Digital Video Solutions Inc. (“Iview DSI”), 2221559 Ontario Inc. and 2300657 Ontario Inc. (collectively, the “Company”, or “we”, “us”, “our”). In addition, the results of operations of Cancable Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Cancable Holding”) were presented as discontinued operations in our September 30, 2011 condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss). All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for and as of the periods shown. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for 2012 or for any future period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the September 30, 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the sale of Cancable Holding on September 30, 2011, our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 presents income from Cancable Holdings as discontinued operations. The Company has not had continuing operational involvement in Cancable Holding since the sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company received approximately $578,500 from Cancable for fees that are not considered to be from operations and are included in discontinued operations.

The following table details Cancable Holding’s revenues and income from operations which have been reported as discontinued operations:

	January 1 to
	September 16

Service revenue	$	21,702,141

Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax		12,624,521

Liquidity and going concern

Our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have an accumulated deficit of $22,487,147, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,959,770 and a working capital deficit of $1,003,629 at September 30, 2012, including current maturities of term loans due to Laurus of $1,548,207 (the “Iview Note”) which the Company does not currently have the ability to pay.

Because we do not anticipate that Laurus (one of our principal stockholders) will demand repayment of the Iview Note (see Note 5), we believe we have adequate resources to sustain our operations for the next year as absent such amount we have working capital of approximately $550,000 (before exclusion of deferred income and certain liabilities that we do not anticipate paying within the next year – e.g. accrued interest payable to related entities). In addition, we have significantly reduced our general and administrative expenses and net losses since the corresponding three and nine month periods of the preceding year and we have additional borrowing capability of approximately $175,000 under the line of credit discussed at Note 2. However, in order for us to sustain and/or grow our operations, we will ultimately have to return to profitability and/or raise additional debt or equity capital. Our plans include tight control of overhead and increased focus on expansion of our customer base. However no assurance can be given that we will not require additional debt or equity capital in the future and/or that any such financing would be available or available on terms acceptable to us. In either case (debt or equity), the financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Inventory

Inventory consists principally of parts, materials and supplies and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is generally determined on the first in, first out basis. The inventory is net of estimated obsolescence ($150,000 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011), based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”, using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares, determined using the treasury stock method, consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. During periods when losses are incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are not considered in the computation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company does not currently have any common stock equivalents outstanding.

Bank Indebtedness and Letter of Credit

The Company has a $500,000 credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank that bears interest at the bank’s domestic prime rate plus 1.5% for Canadian dollar amounts. Interest is payable monthly. The facility is secured by a first security interest in accounts receivable, inventory, certain other assets and keyman life insurance. At September 30, 2012, the interest rate was 4.0%, the borrowing outstanding under the facility was $321,183 and the average borrowing outstanding during the nine months then ended was $160,592. The agreements contain financial covenants pertaining to maintenance of tangible net worth and debt service coverage ratio. In the event of default, the bank could at its discretion cancel the facilities and demand immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts. Assuming no such defaults occur, at September 30, 2012, we had additional available borrowings of approximately $175,000 under the line.

At September 30, 2012, the Company was contingently liable under an irrevocable letter of credit issued by this bank in the amount of $750,000 which expired in October 2012 and was not renewed. The letter of credit was issued to an insurance company as security for the bonding facility in the amount of $750,000 to AC Technical.

Term Notes

In February 2006, Iview DSI issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Iview Note”) in the amount of $2,000,000. Per the original terms of this note, the minimum monthly payments on the term note were $8,333 through the original maturity date (February 1, 2011), with the balance of $1,600,000 payable on such date. However, the Iview Note has not been repaid. As a result of the sale of Cancable Holding, the Iview Note is no longer guaranteed and secured by the Company.

Interest on the term notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $78,982 (2011: $74,527)

		September 30, 2012
Iview Note, with interest at prime plus 2% (minimum of 7%; 7% at September 30, 2012)		$	1,548,207

Interest on deferred principal repayment of term note		-		13,507
Related parties		42,230		40,987
	$	121,212	$	473,632

Notes Payable to Related Parties

Notes payable to related parties consists of two notes payable for $750,000, each bearing interest at 3% per annum and having no fixed terms of repayment. However, pursuant to the Laurus Financing, these notes have been subordinated to the Company’s obligations to Laurus and they are classified as non-current. The notes are due to Malar Trust Inc. (the Company’s chairman is the shareholder of Malar Trust Inc.).

Interest expense recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $42,230 (2011 - 40,987).

Stockholders’ Deficiency

Options

The Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives for key employees, directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company by encouraging their ownership of the common stock of the Company and to aid the Company in retaining such key employees, directors, consultants and other individuals upon whose efforts the Company’s success and future growth depends and in attracting other such employees, directors, consultants and individuals.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the following assumptions. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate employee termination within the valuation model. The Company has assumed that the life of the options will be equal to one-half of the combined vesting period and contractual life. The risk-free rates used to value the options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is 0%.

At September 30, 2012, options to purchase 260,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. These options vest ratably in annual installments, over the four year period from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2012, there was $15,216 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.86 years. The cost recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,500 (2011: $6,169) which was recorded as general and administrative expenses.

A summary of option activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is presented below:

	Options			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term		Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		360,000		$	0.72		1.93		-
Granted		-			-		-		-
Exercised		-			-		-		-
Forfeited or expired		(100,000	)	$	0.90		-		-
Outstanding at September 30, 2012		260,000		$	0.65		1.86		-

Exercisable at September 30, 2012		197,500		$	0.66		1.84		-

As of September 30, 2012, the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options outstanding and expected to vest was $0 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options was $0. The intrinsic value of each option is the difference between the fair market value of the common stock and the exercise price of such option to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $0.01 closing stock price of the common stock on September 30, 2012. There were no in-the-money options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2012.

Because there were no options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was no intrinsic value of options exercised.

The total fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0, as no options were granted in 2012.

The following table summarizes information about fixed price stock options outstanding at September 30, 2012:

Exercise Price		Number Outstanding		Weighted Average Contractual Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable		Exercise Price
$	0.63		250,000		1.90	$	0.63		187,500	$	0.63
$	1.12		10,000		0.73	$	1.12		10,000	$	1.12
			260,000						197,500

The number and weighted average grant-date fair value of options non-vested at the beginning of the year, non-vested at the end of September 30, 2012 and granted, vested or canceled during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

	Number of Options			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Values
Non-vested at January 1, 2012		127,500		$	0.17
Granted		-			-
Vested		(65,000	)	$	0.22
Canceled		-			-
Non-vested at September 30, 2012		62,500		$	0.14

Warrants

The Company uses a binomial option pricing model to value warrants issued to non-employees, based on the market price of its common stock at the time the warrants are issued. All outstanding warrants may be exercised by the holder at any time. Total outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2012 were 200,000 at an exercise price of $0.03 per share, issued to a non-employee for consulting service with an expiry date of December 31, 2014.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
with Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Revenue: Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 13.3% to $1,276,300 from $1,471,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Contract revenue was $959,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1,136,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The year-over-year decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in the number of subcontracts for the provision of services to fewer government and commercial contracts. Service revenue was $317,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $334,500 in the corresponding period of 2011.

Cost of Sales (excluding depreciation and amortization): Cost of Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $661,900 or 51.9% of revenues compared to $734,000 or 49.9% of revenues for same period in 2011. The material cost was $410,200, or 32.1% of the revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $436,200 or 29.7% of revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in material costs was primarily the result of the decrease in revenue. Labor and subcontractor costs also decreased to $272,100, or 21.3% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $285,000, or 19.3% of revenues, for the same period of fiscal 2011 because of the decrease in revenue. The increase in percentage of the labor and subcontractor cost to revenues was due to the result of certain contracts having more labor requirements.

Project expenses: Project expenses decreased to $252,500, or 19.8% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $292,100, or 19.8% of revenues, for the same period in 2011. These costs include mainly the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to $147,400 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $185,500 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in balance was mainly due to a reduction in headcount. Automobile and travel expenses decreased to $68,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $78,700 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in this cost was mainly due to the decrease in repair and maintenance expenses.

Selling expenses: Selling expenses were $231,600, or 18.2% of revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $226,100, or 15.4% of revenues, for the same period in 2011. The balance for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is mainly comprised of salaries and commissions to salespersons of $152,800 compared to $170,470 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in commission expenses as a result of decreased revenue. Advertising and promotion and trade show expenses were $50,900 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $35,000 for the same period of fiscal 2011.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $359,300, or 28.1% of revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $737,700, or 50.1% of revenues, for the same period in 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 these costs were mainly comprised of consulting fees and salaries and benefits to administrative staff of $162,300 (as compared to $191,200 for the corresponding period of 2011). The decreases were due to the reduction of headcounts and a much lesser extent 27,700 of professional fees related to preparation of the quarterly reports and other corporate matters (compared to $187,300 for the same period in 2011). These fees declined significantly primarily because the 2011 amounts included significant fees related to the sale of Cancable.

Interest and other expenses (income): Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $24,400 or 1.9% of revenues compared to net expenses of $242,800 or 16.5% of revenues for the same period in 2011. The net financing expenses decreased to $37,600 or 2.9% of revenues compared to $120,900 or 8.2% of revenues for the same period in 2011. The interest due with respect to the Company’s credit facilities was $29,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $107,100 for the same period in 2011. The decrease in expense was mainly due to the decrease of term loans in the amount of $7,287,500 after the sale of Cancable in September 2011. Additionally, the foreign currency transaction gain was $61,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with a foreign currency transaction loss of $121,900 for the same period of 2011. The change was related to the foreign currency translation of term notes which resulted because the Canadian dollar was trading higher than the U.S. dollar as at September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011.

Income taxes: No provisions for income taxes were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, because the Company generated a loss for both financials and tax reporting during the former period and because income in 2011 was completely offset by the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards (which assets had been fully reserved).

Net Income (Loss): Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $214,300 compared to net income of $11,646,500 for the same period in 2011. The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $12,420,900 and there was no such balance for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
to Period Ended September 30, 2011

For purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations”, we compared the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to the corresponding period in 2011.

Sales: Sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased 30.4% to $4,120,000 from $5,917,800 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in contract revenue for the nine month period ended 2012 to $3,032,600 compared to $4,860,000 for same period in 2011. The decrease in contract revenue was primarily due to less contracts being received in the first nine months compared to the same period in 2011. The service revenue was $1,087,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1,058,000 for same period in 2011.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization): Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2,011,500 or 48.8% of revenues compared to $3,076,500 or 52.0% of revenues for same period in 2011. The material cost was $1,150,100 or 27.9% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2,064,000 or 34.8% of revenues in the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in percentage of material costs was primarily a result of some contracts requiring less material. Labor and subcontractor costs also decreased to $856,500 or 20.8% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1,004,000 or 17.0% of revenues for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in labor and subcontractor cost was mainly due to the decrease in revenue.

Project expenses: Project expenses decreased to $718,500 or 17.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $879,200 or 14.9% of revenue for the same period in 2011. The balance mainly includes the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to $417,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $532,400 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a decrease in headcount. Automobile and travel expenses decreased to $207,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $228,700 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in automobile and travel expenses was due to the decrease in repair and maintenance cost and travel by the staff.

Selling expenses: Selling expenses were $632,100 or 15.3% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $722,400 or 12.2% of revenues for the same period in 2011. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is mainly comprised of salaries and commissions to salespersons of $456,300 compared to $564,500 for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in commission expenses as a result of decreased revenues. Advertising, promotion and trade show expenses were $110,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $93,700 for the same period of fiscal 2011

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $1,135,100 or 27.5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1,610,700 or 27.2% for the same period in 2011. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was comprised of the following:

$176,900 of professional fees related to preparation of quarterly reports and other corporate matters compared to $447,000 for the same period in 2011. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to the decrease in legal cost for corporate matters. The sale of Cancable resulted in higher legal and professional fees in 2011

Total salaries and benefits to administrative staff of $500,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $526,100 for the corresponding period of 2011.

Total expenses for research and development of $130,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $167,400 for the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the Company receiving a higher government credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 than the government credit received in 2012.

Depreciation: Total depreciation of property plant and equipment was $29,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $54,000 for the same period in 2011.

Interest and other expenses (income): Interest and other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $59,000 or 1.4% of revenues compared to $559,400 or 9.5% of revenues for the same period in 2011. The balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily comprised of net financing expenses which decreased to $121,200 or 2.9% of revenues compared to $473,600 or 8.0% of revenues for the same period of 2011. The interest due with respect to the Company’s credit facilities was $79,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $419,100 for the same period in 2011. The decrease in expense was mainly due to the decrease of term loans in the amount of $7,287,500 after the sale of Cancable in September 2011. Additionally, the foreign currency transaction gain was $62,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with foreign currency transaction loss of $83,600 for same period of 2011. The change was related to the foreign currency translation of term notes which resulted because the Canadian dollar was trading higher than the U.S. dollar as at September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011.

Income taxes: No income taxes were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 because we recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting during the former period and because we offset all of our net income during the latter period through the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. Because of this and because we had and have fully reserved substantially all our deferred income tax assets, there was no provision and/or benefit for income taxes.

Net Income (Loss): Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $465,400 compared to net income of $11,640,200 for the same period in 2011. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes income from discontinued operations of $12,624,500 and there was no such balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have financed our operations through bank debt, loans and equity from our principals, loans from third parties and funds generated by our business. At September 30, 2012, we had $1,080,205 in cash. We believe that cash from operations and our credit facilities with Laurus and others will continue to be adequate to satisfy our ongoing working capital needs as we do not expect such lenders to demand acceleration of the outstanding loans extended to the Company. We do not currently have the ability to repay the notes in the event of a demand by the holders. During 2012, our primary objectives in managing liquidity and cash flows are to ensure financial flexibility to support growth and entry into new markets and improve inventory management and to accelerate the collection of accounts receivable.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $127,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $295,300 for the corresponding period of 2011. The change was primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $313,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $327,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The change was primarily because we had net inflows of approximately $313,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 under our lines of credit compared with net outflows of approximately $260,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Moreover, the repayment of term loans was $66,700 during the period ended September 30, 2011 and there was no such repayment of term loans for the period ended September 30, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates: accounts receivable allowances, contract revenues, inventory reserves, stock-based compensation. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
