Medical Equipment Supplies Inc. (MESI) has lost 16% market share in Medical Equipment sales in 2018. MESI serves more than 24,800 B2B clients and operates on a North Central Positronic System that is not compatible with the systems used by their major clients, Shopper's Drug Mart and Loblaw's who have all upgraded to a reputable Microsoft Platform.

A project to upgrade their systems is being considered. The estimated total upgrade will take place over the Jan - December 2018 period and payback of the project will be measured over a 4-year life. The loan of $928,000 is taken from the Royal Ontario Bank at a rate of 6.5% and estimates are that revenues of $195,000 in year 1, $224,000 in year 2, and a maximum amount of $300,000 in each of the years remaining in the period. The project estimates also include the sale of older equipment for $25,000 as scrap.
