       Exhibit 99.1, page 1

   1.                                                   We note you present 
several non-IFRS financial measures that include an adjustment for
                                                        cash awards to 
employees during each period presented. It appears cash awards to
                                                        employees are normal, 
recurring, cash operating expense necessary to operate your

fully explain the nature and terms of your cash award program and
                                                        explain why you believe 
adjusting non-IFRS financial measures, for what appears to be
                                                        cash compensation paid 
to current employees, is meaningful. Please specifically explain
                                                        why you believe the 
adjustments are appropriate and how you determined they comply
                                                        with Regulation G and 
the guidance in Question 100.01 of the Division of Corporation
                                                        Finance's Compliance & 
Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
