Administration and Corporate Services

The Company maintained a small administrative staff to perform back-up support services and relied on Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to perform accounting services for the Company during 2004. Management's focus was on developing and establishing appropriate systems for sound administrative and financial management. The Board approved a Human resources Manual and a Performance Management System, and acquisition of a new Project Management and Financial Accounting System to adequately serve the Company's growing and uniquely diverse operations.
