result, consistent with the accounting by the predecessor company, Encore did not record the transaction in the appropriate period.

As a result of the restatement, Encore has established policies for newly acquired companies consistent with the policies of the parent company that all non-routine transactions (particularly in relation to mergers and takeovers) have an independent third party review all documentation, contracts, clauses, agreements and financial information, etc. This will ensure that all non-routine and non-systematic transactions are captured and accounted for appropriately.

If you have any questions or require any additional information or documents, please telephone the undersigned at (604) 687-5792.

Yours truly,
