Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company entered into an agreement to issue 2,500,000 units of the Company at a price of $2.60 per unit, on a bought deal private placement basis to a syndicate of underwriters. The Company also granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,180,000 units on the same terms as the initial amount which, if exercised in full, would raise the total gross proceeds to the Company to $9,658,000. The offering is expected to close on or about November 14, 2007 and is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, as well as completion of standard documentation and other customary terms and conditions. Each unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.
