1.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENTATION                                             
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by   
the Corporation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting       
principles.  The major differences between Canadian generally accepted          
accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) and International Accounting Standards    
(IAS), in so far as they apply to the Corporation, are described in Note 3.  The
financial information was prepared in accordance with the same accounting       
policies and methods as the audited annual consolidated financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2003.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial     
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated   
financial statements and notes thereto in the Corporation"s 2003 annual report. 
The results of operations for the interim periods presented do not necessarily  
reflect results for the full year.                                              
2.CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY                                                  
In June 2002, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants issued Accounting 
Guideline 13, "Hedging Relationship" (AcG-13) which establishes new criteria for
hedge accounting and applies to all hedging relationships in effect July 1, 2003
and EIC A bstract 128, "Accounting for trading, speculative or non-hedging      
derivative financial instruments" which establishes the accounting for          
derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under AcG-13.   
Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Corporation to manage its  
foreign currency exposure.  These derivative financial instruments do not       
qualify as hedges under AcG-13.  EIC-128 requires that derivative financial     
instruments be recognized on the balance sheet and measured at fair value with  
changes in fair value recognized in earnings.                                   
As a result of the adoption of these new rules, foreign exchange contracts have 
been accounted for at fair value.  The foreign exchange contracts result in an  
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,022,000 and an       
increase in net loss of $1,022,000 for the six-month period ended December 31,  
2003.                                                                           
3.DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND     
INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS                                              
(a)  Under Canadian GAAP, investments, excluding the investment in the       
        company subject to significant influence, should be recorded at         
        cost, less any decrease in value other than a temporary decline.        
        Under IAS, the marketable securities are classified as trading          
and are recorded at market value.  All unrealized holding gains         
        or losses are included in the statement of earnings in the period       
        in which they arise.                                                    
   (b)  Also, under Canadian GAAP, to June 30, 2003, foreign exchange           
contracts were recorded at cost.  Under IAS, these derivative           
        financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and are            
        subsequently remeasured at their fair value.  The changes in the        
        fair value of the derivative financial instruments used by the          
Corporation are recognized immediately in the statement of              
        earnings because they do not qualify for hedge accounting.              
   Had the Corporation followed IAS, certain items would have increased         
   (decreased) as follows:-
