Description of Common Stock.

The Company currently is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value common stock and no par value Class A preference shares. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had 103,892,023 shares of common stock outstanding and no preference shares outstanding.

Each share of common stock is entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions, if any, with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such purpose. No holder of any shares of common stock has any preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of the common stock is entitled to share ratably in the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock. All shares of common stock presently outstanding are fully paid and nonassessable.

Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. There is no right to cumulate votes for the election of directors. This means that holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors.

Use of Proceeds.

Net proceeds of this Offering will be used to provide working capital to Celevoke, Inc. It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional funding.

Risk Factors.

Risks Associated with the Company

Please refer to the Company’s Form 20-F for some of the risks associated with the Company.

Risks Associated with the Offering

Arbitrary Determination of Offering Price. The Offering price of the Units has been determined arbitrarily by management’s subjective assessment of the Company's current position and prospects and the current trading price of the Company’s common stock. The Offering price does not bear a relationship to the Company's assets, book value or other recognized criteria of value and should not be regarded as an objective valuation or an indication of any future resale value of the shares of common stock underlying the Units.

Lack of Marketability of Shares and Warrants. The shares of common stock and warrants underlying the Units are restricted securities as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Act. Therefore, neither the shares nor the warrants may not be readily liquidated in the event of an emergency. Purchasers must be prepared to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time.

No Dividends. The Company does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors who require income from dividends should not purchase these Securities.
