PART II


ITEM 3


The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents.  The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this registration statement, and information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information.  We incorporate by reference in this registration statement the documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual report referred to below under Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


(a)  The Company’s Annual Report on form 20-F for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 filed December 1, 2005 (Commission File No. 000-50492), as amended;


(b)  All other reports filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to June 30, 2005; and


(c)  The description of the Company’s Common Stock contained in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 20-F, as amended, filed on March 12, 2004.


All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.


ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.


Not applicable.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.


Not applicable.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Act”), the Company may indemnify a present or former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer of another corporation of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of being or having been such a director or officer if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Company and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.  A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from the Company as a matter of right in respects of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative proceeding to which he is a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation if he was substantially successful on the merits and fulfilled the conditions set forth above.


The by-laws of the Company provide that subject to Section 136 of the Business Corporation Act of Ontario, each director, each officer, and his heirs and legal representatives, shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company from and against all costs, charges and expenses, reasonably incurred by him in respect of any action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason or being or having been a director or officer of the Company or such body corporation.


The Company currently does not maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.


(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maxim um aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and


(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;


Provided, however, that


(A)  paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference herein.


(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


(4)  To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.  Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-10 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.


(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be in the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


SIGNATURES


Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Canada, on February 20, 2006.
