THAT YOUR INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING WERE OPERATING EFFECTIVELY
AS OF THE DATES NOTED IN LIGHT OF YOUR RESTATEMENT. PLEASE

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.
