Please refer to your response to comment one and your proposed revised disclosures. Please

of sales is higher than the percentage decrease in revenues for 2007 compared to 2008.
Response:
We will revise our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to
state that cost of sales includes only costs associated with the sale of goods and the reason
the percentage decrease in cost of sales is higher than the percentage decrease in revenues
for the applicable periods.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Please refer to your response to comment two. Please revise the wording since you have not
satisfied the requirement of Item 17(c) of Form 20-F to include an unreserved and explicit
statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. A US GAAP reconciliation is required
if this statement is not included in the notes to the financial statements. In addition,
please remove the disclosure on page 3 regarding compliance
with AIFRS and revise the disclosure to state that the financial statements do comply with
IFRS as issued by the IASB.
Response:
We will revise our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to
include an unreserved and explicit statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by the IASB in
Note 1 to the financial statements. Additionally we will remove the disclosure on page 3
regarding compliance with AIFRS and revise the disclosure to state that the financial
statements comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

•
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure of the
disclosure in the filings;
