I was given a legal opinion by a lawyer, who stated from my description of the events leading up to this supposed compulsitory aquisition, with regards to being notified in a timely manner and by registered mail in the proper manner.

He said that delivery of notification and the timing of such notification needed to be followed strictly and that a company could not run roughshod over the rights of minority shareholders like they appeared to be doing in our case.

Some of my investor group received no notification at all that there would be a compulsitory acquisition let alone the late one that some of us received which gave almost no practicle time to act on it.

In my opinion the notice that some of us received from our brokerages in fact was not the compulsitory aquisition notice, but the notice of adverse effect that is required from my understanding of the CBCA to be sent out to the brokerages in conjuction with the notice of manditory aquisiton be sent out to the holders of the shares in question.

F.F.
