Item 3.02           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On April 29, 2011, one of our investors exercised a share purchase warrant pursuant to which it purchased 142,857 of our common shares at an exercise price of CDN$0.90 for gross proceeds to our company of approximately $121,428 (CDN$128,571). This investor is not a U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933), this transaction took place outside of the United States and, in issuing these shares, we relied on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

4.           The plan of conversion, (a copy of which was attached as Schedule “B” to the Proxy Statement), whereby our corporate jurisdiction will be changed from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by means of a process called a “conversion” and a “continuation”.
