The cease trade order will remain in effect until revoked by the Alberta Securities Commission.

The Company's board of directors, audit committee and management are focused on working diligently with their advisors to more specifically quantify and complete the restatements required in the 2012 Interim Filings. Upon completion of these efforts, the Company will re-file its 2012 Interim Filings and, concurrently therewith or thereafter, will file its 2012 Annual Filings.
