* By Global Resource Explanation of Responses: (1) The Reporting Person may no longer be deemed to share indirect ownership of 1,000,000 Common Shares and 1,000,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants directly beneficially owned by Stockscape.com Technologies Inc. ("Stockscape") as set forth in the Reporting Person's Statement on Form 4 filed for April 2002. On June 26, 2002, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued its final order approving an amalgamation of Stockscape with three other companies into a new corporation to be called Quest Investment Corporation ("Quest"). Prior to the amalgamation, the Reporting Person owned 37% of the issued and outstanding shares of Stockscape. Following the amalgamation, the Reporting Person will own less than 8% of the outstanding voting power of Quest and will have no other relationship with Quest, and consequently may no longer be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the Issuer's Shares held by Quest. NOTE: The number of outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer has been adjusted to reflect a consolidation of the Issuer's Common Shares on a 1-for-20 basis, effective June 19, 2002. Information concerning shareholdings and exercise prices is shown on a post-consolidation basis. ** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations.
