          managing of its legal affairs,
        
        
          and Lockhart LLP has handled
        
        
          all of the accounting for the
        
        
          company since its inception.
        
        
          “They’ve been instrumen-
        
        
          tal in guiding us through the
        
        
          major growth, that’s when
        
        
          you really need strong legal
        
        
          support.”
        
        
          Stealth has enjoyed a
        
        
          strong relationship with its
        
        
          lenders as well.
        
        
          “We’ve been working with
        
        
          the TD Bank and some of
        
        
          that growth is very difficult
        
        
          to handle and muster from a
        
        
          financial position but they’ve
        
        
          been extremely supportive of
        
        
          our business over the last few
        
        
          years,” says Davison.
        
        
          Long-standing
        
        
          support,
        
        
          along with milestone proj-
        
        
          ects over the past nine years
        
        
          has enabled the company to
        
        
          branch into new territory in
        
        
          Australia and survey pros-
        
        
          pects for expansion into the
        
        
          U.S market.
        
        
          “We’re always looking for
        
        
          opportunities to expand. The
        
        
          Australian market came call-
        
        
          ing with a heavy demand for
        
        
          acoustical products. Acousti-
        
        
          cal requirements combined
        
        
          with some of our electrical
        
        
          and mechanical packages, so
        
        
          that worked out very well for
        
        
          us,” Davison said.
        
        
          Stealth has sent more than
        
        
          40 packages over the course
        
        
          of the last few years to meet
        
        
          demand there. In terms of
        
        
          challenges, Davison acknowl-
        
        
          edges that innovation and fig-
        
        
          uring out what can be done
        
        
          to serve the market and give
        
        
          the company the competitive
        
        
          edge is a constant preoccupa-
        
        
          tion.
        
        
          “I think it’s very impor-
        
        
          tant to look at how certain
        
        
          products can be built better,
        
        
          faster, more efficiently. I think
        
        
          too many people get caught
        
        
          up in trying to create some-
