"Things that puzzle me are:

Why could Group 270 not make an improvement in sales when they are supposed to be the Retail Distribution Group. The following is there focus see there web www.group270.com

Group 270 covers major Canadian retailers including

· Shoppers Drug mart

· Loblaws Companies

· Wal-Mart Canada

· London Drugs

· Pharmasave National

· HBC

Product categories

· OTC Preparations

· Health and Beauty Products

· Natural and Organic and Eco Products

Markets Serviced

Western Based Sales Solutions for National Brands


Alda has been working with this group since 2006 when they were first retained.

On August 22, 2008 Group 270 and the Company mutually agreed that Group 270 will be compensated at the rate of

$100 per hour rather than receiving a monthly retainer. In the event that both ALDA and Group 270 mutually agree

that there is sufficient reason to continue the payment, it will remain in effect on a month to month basis until the

payment of a commission rate of 8% of net sales exceeds the $1,500 per month. At that time the monthly payment

will cease and Group 270 will receive only the commission.


My personal belief is that they cannot sell under the logo T 36 Disinfex because of this:

OnMarch 3, 2008, CIPO accepted applications filed by

the Company to register “T36 Disinfex” (File No. 1385140) and “T36 Safe-T-Cide”

(File No. 1385134) as

trademarks in Canada. Both trademarks were advertised in the Trade-marks Journal on November 12, 2008. For a

period of two months after a trademark is advertised in this manner, opposition to the proposed trademark can be

filed. During this period, Triosyn Holdings Inc. (“Triosyn”)filed a statement of opposition to the proposed trademark,





T36 Disinfex”. On February 6, 2009, the Company was advised that the Trademarks Office had granted Triosyn an extension to April 12, 2009 to file a formal Statement of Opposition. The proposed trademarks were selected

through the work done by Brand Institute to establish new “brands” for the Company’s products for the retail and

commercial markets. The proposed trademarks were then screened by the Company

’s patent and trademark lawyers

and the decision was made to add the “T36” prefix to the names to make them more unique. Although the Company’s





management believes that sufficient due diligence was conducted to select appropriate trademarks and to avoid

infringement on any existing trademarks or trademarks for which applications have been submitted, there is no

guarantee that the new trademarks will be issued or that the trademarks will not infringe on the trademarks of other

companies or that other companies will not take action against the Company for trademark infringement. Upon

receipt of the formal Statement of Opposition from Triosyn, the Company, in consultation with its lawyers will

decide the course of action.


It appears Brand institute may be on the hook for a name change if Triosyn is successful in defending Disinfex, delaying sales but not devaluing the compound T-36. This is the second time a trademark was to be defended as Virilex was removed from Alda at a cost of $30000."
