The investment by Kangda Canada in the Common Shares is a long term strategic initiative for Kangda.
Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general working capital and corporate purposes. The Common Shares issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities law. IDC expects to conclude arrangements with Kangda, with the objective of leveraging both companies' sales and distribution channels and introducing new advanced product resources that will enable IDC to enter new markets.

A key element of success will be the marketplace and production collaboration between Kangda and IDC. With the assistance of Kangda, IDC will be able to access some of the world's most advanced medical imaging equipment and add to its product portfolio. This initiative will enable IDC to enhance its reputation and market the company for growth in North America, South America, Central America, the Middle East and Asia region".
