Liquidity
On December 31, 2004 the Company had a working capital of $80,000 as compared to a working capital of $153,000 at December 31, 2003.

The Company completed a private placement of 1,200,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $60,000 on February 14, 2004.

In addition, 3,211,670 warrants were exercised prior to their expiry date of May 30, 2004 for gross proceeds of $160,583.50. 1,605,350 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued to the holders under the terms of the warrants. 2,791,670 warrants expired without being exercised. A further 3,000,000 warrants expired on July 31, 2004 without being exercised.
