ORDER

Background

(b) the Filer has provided notice that subsection 4C.5(1) of Multilateral Instrument 11-102 Passport System (MI 11-102) is intended to be relied upon in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.

Interpretation

At the special and annual shareholders meeting of the Filer held on June 6, 2016 (the Meeting), the shareholders of the Filer approved a resolution providing for the consolidation (the Consolidation) of the Filer's common shares (Common Shares) on the basis of one new Common Share (each a Post-Consolidation Share) for every five million two hundred thousand (5,200,000) Common Shares outstanding prior to the Consolidation (each a Pre-Consolidation Share). The Consolidation provided that no fractional Post-Consolidation Shares would be issued and each shareholder holding less than 5,200,000 Pre-Consolidation Shares would be paid $0.02 per Pre-Consolidation Share (the Consideration).

13. The Filer has no current intention to seek public financing by way of an offering of securities.

14. The Filer is not in default of securities legislation in any jurisdiction except for (i) the failure to file, by the prescribed deadline, interim financial statements for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and management's discussion & analysis relating to the interim financial statements for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2016 and certification of the foregoing filings under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (the Filings); and (ii) the MI 61-101 Deficiencies.
