Registration Statement on Form F-1
Use of Proceeds, page 41
1.
Please revise to clarify whether you will be able to complete the construction of the Research Technology and Processing Center and complete the Quipropharma customization with the proceeds from this offering. If the anticipated proceeds will not be sufficient, please disclose how you intend to raise the additional funds needed.
Response:  The Company respectfully acknowledges this comment. The Company has modified “Use of Proceeds” on page 41 to disclose that the Company’s management believes the Company’s current capital resources coupled with the net proceeds from the offering will be adequate to purchase and construct the modules required for the Research Technology and Processing Center and to complete the Quipropharma laboratory customization for the Company’s short term needs over the next twenty-four months.  The Company has also disclosed that if the Research Technology and Processing Center were expanded in the long-term to meet the needs of Company growth and industry demand, one or more additional capital financings may be required.

In addition, the Company has revised its Registration Statement to include a resale prospectus to be used for the resale by selling shareholders of 1,315,200 common shares and up to 657,600 common shares underlying warrants of the Company.  The Company has also updated “Corporate Governance Practices” beginning on page 97 to disclose each requirement of the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5600 Series that it does not follow and to describe the Canadian practice followed by the Company in lieu of such requirement.
