COMMENTS BY AUDITOR FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA - U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCES

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of
an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is a
change in accounting principles that has a material effect on the comparability
of the Company's financial statements, such as the changes described in Note 3
to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated January 21,
2005, incorporated by reference herein, is expressed in accordance with Canadian
reporting standards which do not require a reference to such a change in
accounting principles in the auditors' report when the change is properly
accounted for and adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
