For the six months ended October 31, 2010, the Companya™s operating expenses increased 54% to $1,813,721, including $726,100 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation as compared to total operating expenses of $1,181,303 for the six months ended on October 31, 2009, including $440,160 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.

Our next step will be to apply for listing on a senior US stock exchange.a
