Interest income in 2006 was $108,000 and $391,000 for the comparable periods. The increase in interest income in 2007 was primarily due to higher interest rates and higher average cash balances after the completion of the June 2007 financing.

equivalents of $19,469,000 as compared with $8,813,000 as at December 31,
2006. The increase in cash was related to proceeds of the public offering

Cdn$23,100,000. After deducting cash-based share issue costs and converting
to US dollars, net proceeds totaled approximately $19,600,000. The Company
