BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the interim financial information. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending April 30, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included herein have been prepared on a basis consistent with and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended April 30, 2011 as filed in its annual report on Form 10-K/A. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation.
 
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for OQI (the parent company).  The Canadian dollar (CDN) is the functional currency for OQI's Canadian subsidiaries.  The assets and liabilities of OQI's Canadian subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates.  Canadian income and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for the periods in which those elements are recognized.  Foreign currency translation adjustments have no effect on net loss and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.  The only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss is foreign currency translation adjustments.  Deferred income taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation gains and losses where OQI expects undistributed earnings of a foreign operation to be indefinitely reinvested.

Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations of the period in which they occur. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the reporting currency using the rate in effect on that date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset was acquired or the liability was incurred.
