Where you have not already done so, please revise each of your subheadings to ensure that they disclose the specific risk or risks that you are discussing in the text.

In as much as the interim period February 28, 2005 financial statements included in Exhibit 99.2 are a required part of Form 20-F (see Item 8.A.5 of Form 20-F), these financial statements should be revised to remove all development stage company references.
