Between April 11, 2007 and June 26, 2007, BG Capital sold a total of 630,106 shares of common stock in multiple open market and private transactions for total gross proceeds of $1,882,321.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The sales of the Issuer’s common shares described in Item 3 were made for investment purposes.
The Reporting Persons may acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties in accordance with any applicable securities laws and regulations, subject to and depending upon prevailing market conditions for the Issuer’s common shares.
There has been no change to the information previously reported on Item 4 of the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
A.   Beneficial Ownership
 
    Beneficial ownership of common shares of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons is calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under Rule 13d-3, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option, warrant or conversion right) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. Accordingly, as of June 26, 2007, the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own:
                 
          (a )  
89,197 common shares held by BG Capital;
               
 
          (b )  
2,460,000 common shares, which are not currently outstanding but are issuable upon conversion of the 600,000 Class B Preferred shares held by BG Capital;
               
 
          (c )  
1,600,000 Variable Multiple Voting Shares, of which 1,120,000 shares are issued and outstanding and an additional 480,000 shares that are issuable upon conversion of the 600,000 Class B Preferred shares held by BG Capital. The 1,600,000 Variable Multiple Voting Shares, when issued, currently (as of June 26, 2007) have aggregate voting rights equivalent to 32,880,515 common shares (as described below);
               
 
          (d )  
4,000,000 common shares, which are not currently outstanding but are issuable upon exercise of the Series “A” Warrants held by BG Capital; and
               
 
          (e )  
132,291 common shares, which are not currently outstanding but are issuable upon exercise of finder’s fee warrants held by BG Capital.
Based on 20,597,702 shares of Issuer common stock issued and outstanding as of June 26, 2007, and pursuant to SEC Rule 13d-3, the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own approximately 65.86% of the Issuer common stock.
The Variable Multiple Voting Shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B Preferred shares, when issued, have special voting rights, as approved by the Issuer’s shareholders at the July 20, 2006 annual general meeting. As of June 26, 2007, the total 1,600,000 Variable Multiple Voting Shares would have voting rights equivalent to a total of 32,880,515 common shares. The formula for calculating the voting rights for the Variable Multiple Voting Share is set forth below:

CS
  =   7,229,912 (which represents the number of issued common shares as at March 16, 2006, as may be adjusted for any subdivision or consolidation of the Limited Voting Shares)
B.   Power to Vote and Dispose.
 
    The Reporting Persons have the sole power to vote and direct the disposition of the shares of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons as disclosed in Item 5.A.
 
    (a) Power to Vote: As a result of the voting rights associated with the Variable Multiple Voting Shares, which are issuable upon conversion of the Class B Preferred shares, the Reporting Persons are deemed to have voting power over 39,562,003 shares.
 
    (b) Power to Dispose: The Reporting Persons are deemed to have dispositive power over 8,281,488 shares.
