- Review the full annual report (Form 20-F) for the 2003 fiscal year to obtain actual revenue, profit, and liquidity metrics, as they are absent here.
- Confirm the rationale behind the net sale of Non-Voting Shares by Executive Officers versus the net purchase of Common Shares.
- Check subsequent filings to see if the "rental" of 10,000,000 Non-Voting Shares by Executive Officers resulted in a change in beneficial ownership.
