There have been no material changes to the information contained in the original default notice dated April 30, 2009 except that the Corporation has now been able to secure much of the required critical information from Nigerian third parties and accordingly, Mart's auditors are in the process of completing the Corporation's audit. Mart expects to file its 2008 Annual Audited Financial Statements on or before June 30, 2009. 2. There have been no failures with respect to the Corporation fulfilling its stated intention of satisfying the requirements of the Guidelines. 3.
