Effective August 1, 2002, the Company has evaluated goodwill on a Company basis. The impairment test used the fair market value of the publicly traded stock as compared to the book value of the stock and concluded that an impairment loss be recorded in the amount of $1,595 to opening retained earnings Retained Earnings

iii) Stock-Based Compensation

Effective August 1, 2002, the Company has adopted the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants on accounting for stock-based compensation. The standard requires that a fair-value-based method of accounting be applied to all stock-based payments to employees. However, the new standard permits the Company to continue its existing policy of recording no compensation cost on the granting of stock options to employees. Consideration paid by employees on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital. No restatement Restatement

The need for restating financial figures can result from fraud, misrepresentation, or a simple clerical error.
 of prior periods was required as a result of the adoption of the new standard.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established a stock option plan for directors, officers, and key employees. The terms of the plan state that the aggregate number of shares, which may be issued and sold, will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a non-diluted basis. The issue price of the shares shall be determined at the time of grant based on the closing market price of the shares on the specified spec·i·fy

Notes:
 over that period and 20% being exercisable immediately upon issue. Options given to outside directors vest immediately and can be exercised immediately. Effective September September: see month.  24, 2002, amendments to the plan include a vesting progression progression, in mathematics, sequence of quantities, called terms, in which the relationship between consecutive terms is the same. An arithmetic progression is a sequence in which each term is derived from the preceding one by adding a given number, d,  of 30% in the year of grant, 30% in the second year, and 40% in the third year with the term still being 5 years. 13,000 options have been issued under this new plan.

As at January 31, 2003, the following options and warrants were outstanding:

The description of the method and significant assumptions used during the period to estimate the fair values of options, including the weighted average information, is as follows:

i) Expected life of five years;

ii) Expected dividends - nil;

iii) Expected volatility Volatility

1. A statistical measure of the tendency of a market or security to rise or fall sharply within a period of time.

2. A variable in option pricing formulas that denotes the extent to which the return of the underlying asset will fluctuate between now and the
 of 54%;

iv) Total compensation cost recognized in income for the stock-based employee compensation awards - nil;

v) Amounts charged or credited to contributed surplus in respect of stock based employee compensation awards - nil;

vi) Amounts credited to share capital in respect of stock-based employee compensation awards - nil.

During the period, the Company granted 123,000 stock options to various employees. The Company does not record a charge for compensation costs upon granting of stock options. Had compensation cost for the stock-based plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the stock option plan consistent with the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation, the Company's net income and income per share would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:
