Notes:

(1)	The net increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to the issuance of 7,500,000 common shares at US$1.60 per share upon the close of a “bought deal” on June 6, 2011. Gross proceeds on the purchase were $11,742,000 (US$12,000,000).
(2)	The net decrease in liabilities is primarily due to the exercise or forfeiture of 2,650,000 warrants which had an exercise price denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, were fair valued and classified as a liability at December 31, 2010 in the amount of $1,562,544. The expiry date of those warrants was accelerated to March 14, 2011.
