IMC holds investments in Future Power PA and T3 Motion, Inc. In June of 2009, IMC announced that its board of directors was considering the spin-out of a separately traded public company that would hold IMC's investments in Future Power PA and T3 Motion. The board of directors subsequently determined not to proceed with that transaction.

After much deliberation, the board of directors is currently considering the spin-out of a separately traded public company that would hold IMC's camera assets. If this transaction were to proceed, IMC would change its name to "EmberClear Inc." and would continue to hold IMC's investments in Future Power PA and T3 Motion, Inc., and the new public company would hold IMC's camera business. Shareholders of IMC would continue to hold their IMC shares and would also receive shares in the new public company. In furtherance of this plan, shareholders of IMC have been asked to approve the change of IMC's name to "EmberClear Inc." at IMC's Annual and Special Meeting of shareholders to be held March 3, 2010.

The proposed spin-out of IMC's camera business is currently in the planning stage and IMC anticipates that if the transaction proceeds it will not occur until the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010 at the earliest. IMC will keep the market informed of developments regarding the potential transaction as it unfolds. If the transaction proceeds, it would require numerous approvals, including TSXV approval and shareholder approval.
