1. WE HAVE CONSIDERED YOUR RESPONSE TO OUR PREVIOUS COMMENT. WE ARE STILL UNSURE HOW YOU HAVE DETERMINED THAT YOUR INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WERE OPERATING EFFECTIVELY AS OF THE DATES NOTED IN LIGHT OF YOUR RESTATEMENT.

result, consistent with the accounting by the predecessor company, Encore did not record the transaction in the appropriate period.

As a result of the restatement, Encore has established policies for newly acquired companies consistent with the policies of the parent company that all non-routine transactions (particularly in relation to mergers and takeovers) have an independent third party review all documentation, contracts, clauses, agreements and financial information, etc. This will ensure that all non-routine and non-systematic transactions are captured and accounted for appropriately.

If you have any questions or require any additional information or documents, please telephone the undersigned at (604) 687-5792.
