Item 3. News Release
The News Release related to this material change was dated June 8, 2004 and was disseminated through Stockwatch and filed on SEDAR.
Item 4. Summary of Material Change
The auditing process of the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 has taken longer than anticipated. The Company has obtained a Management Cease Trade Order in order to give the Company more time to file the financial statements.
Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
As announced in the Company's News Release dated April 2, 2004, the Company recently appointed BDO Dunwoody LLP as its new auditors with their first task being the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. This appointment was made in order to improve the audit procedures, integrity and presentation of the Company's financial statements to stay in step with increased audit and regulatory financial statement provisions.
The auditing process for the 2003 financial statements has taken longer than anticipated, however the Company expects that the statements should be filed shortly. In the interim, the Company wishes to avoid a cease trade order being issued by the regulatory authorities for the delay in filing the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has applied for and obtained a Management Cease Trade Order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission June 2, 2004, which provides that the directors, officers and insiders of the Company must cease trading all of their securities in the Company until all required financial statements have been filed and the order has been revoked. With this Management Cease Trade Order, the Company now has the further required time to file the 2003 year end statements and the March 31, 2004 quarterly statements.
