EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 40-F filed on March 31, 2009 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, is being filed for the purpose of dating a reference to the independent registered chartered accountants’ report relating to the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, which was inadvertently omitted during the EDGARization of the independent registered chartered accountants’ report relating to the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Other than as expressly set forth above, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, update or restate the information in any Item of the Form 40-F or reflect any events that have occurred after the Form 40-F was filed. The filing of this Amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the Form 40-F, when made, included any known, untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.
