1. VOTING ON A POLL
1.1 On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy or by corporate representative and a person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. Unless a poll is duly demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, or not carried by a particular majority, will be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour or against the resolution.
Translation - French
1. VOTER POUR UN VOTE NOMINAL
1.1 Dans un vote nominal, les votes sont fait soit en personne, soit par procuration ou soit par représentant(s) de société, et toute personne habilité à représenter plus d’une voix n’a pas besoin d’utiliser toutes ses voix de la même manière. A moins qu’un scrutin ne soit dûment demandé, une déclaration du président disant qu’une résolution a été passée ou passée unanimement ou par une majorité particulière, ou a été défaite par une certaine majorité, sera une preuve concluante du fait sans besoin de preuve du nombre ou de la proportion de votes enregistrés en faveur ou à l’encontre de la résolution.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of XXXXX for the period beginning October 30, 2003 (date of inception) through November 30, 2004, we considered the Company’s internal control in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on internal control.

However, during our audit we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. Below we have summarized our comments and suggestions regarding those matters. This letter does not affect our report dated September 26, 2005, on the financial statements of XXXXX.

Approve an Organization Chart

We were given an organization chart prepared by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. We were advised that it had not been approved by the Board of Directors.
Translation - French
Pendant la préparation et l’exécution de notre audit de l’état financier de XXXX pour la période du 30 octobre 2003 (date de prise d’effet) au 30 novembre 2004, nous avons pris en considération les structures internes de contrôle de la société afin de déterminer nos procédures d’audit et ce dans le but d’offrir un avis sur l’état financier et non pour réassurer la société sur la qualité de ses structures de contrôle internes.

Toutefois, au cours de notre audit, nous nous sommes rendu compte qu’il y avait possibilité de renforcer les contrôles internes et l’efficacité des opérations. Nous avons résumé nos remarques et nos suggestions sur ce sujet ci-dessous. Ce document n’affecte en aucune manière notre rapport en date du 26 septembre 2006 sur l’état financier de XXXXX.

Approbation d’un organigramme organisationnel

L’agent d’administration principal de la société nous a fait remettre un organigramme organisationnel qui n’a pas été approuvé par le comité directeur.
