Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 13, 2006, pursuant to subscription agreements, we closed a private placement to four investors of an aggregate of 73,000 units at a price of US$1.50 per unit, for total gross proceeds of US$109,500. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling its holder to acquire one share of our common stock at an exercise price of US$2.25 per common share. The exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as provided in the warrants. The warrants expire on January 13, 2009. The units were issued pursuant to Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).

The subscription agreements provide that each holder of units will have “piggy back” registration rights if we file a registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with an offering of our securities.

In connection with the private placement, a finder’s fee of US$7,680 was paid to Solomon Group Inc., resulting in total net proceeds to our company from the private placement of US$101,820.
