Upon reflection of contracts in process and inventory calculations, the Company's Auditor has determined that the values were understated by approximately $300,000.00 and accordingly has reissued his report and accompanying statements. Management has revised the interim statements accordingly. The Company also announces the closing of a $370,000 convertible debenture financing with Saskatchewan Opportunities Corporation (SOCO). As previously announced, the debenture has a term of 3 years and is convertible at a rate of $1.00 per share. On closing, SOCO was also issued 185,000 share purchase warrants exercisable for two years at $1.00 per share. The remainder of the $1,000,000 total convertible debenture financing and 500,000 share purchase warrants is expected to complete later this summer.
