Human-focused MRI technology accounted for ~CAD 2 million of trailing 12-month revenue; healthcare products are being developed with partners, including IMRIS.

Products and market opportunity
Portable, helium-free benchtop MRI instruments bring molecular analysis to industrial, pharma, food, chemical and law-enforcement settings; stated average selling price is ~CAD 100,000.
Scientific instrumentation spending exceeds $75 billion annually; the addressable market was estimated at ~$4 billion and growing.
Sales reach customers directly in the U.S., Canada and several European markets, with local dealers serving markets including Japan, Indonesia and Brazil.
Calgary manufacturing is vertically integrated; in-house, patent-protected technology supports control of IP, costs and quality.
An FDA software compliance module was planned for a future launch, enabling instruments to serve quality-control as well as R&D environments.
Services strategy and growth
A CAD 160 million Canadian government contract covers installation, removal and servicing of equipment across 90 airports; the stated service billing rate can exceed CAD 300 per hour.
Airport-contract gross margin had reached ~20%, with a target of ~30%; management described the contract as currently profitable.
Long-term vision is a 50% product and 50% services revenue mix; service-led security relationships may create openings for portable MRI sales, with U.S. airport expansion an aspiration.
Management said revenue growth could drive EBITDA increases by multiples, given the lower cost structure; scaling manufacturing was expected to require incremental investments of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Over a three-to-four-year horizon, management aims to double the business through new magnetic-resonance products and expansion into service verticals.
