Significant Events
On January 4, 2008, the Company entered into a tax indemnity payment agent agreement with a tax indemnity agent (the "Agent") whereby the $24,490,816 tax indemnity fund was paid to the Agent to be held in trust for SWEF Terrawinds. The tax indemnity payment agreement has an original term of 30 months from closing and expires on June 30, 2010.

Results of Operations
Net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The increase in net loss of $1.1 million is due primarily to higher tax indemnity payments in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
Interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was insignificant compared to $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The decrease in interest income is due to declining interest rates.
Administrative costs for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The decrease of $0.1 million is due to fewer professional fees incurred in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
Capital tax expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was insignificant.
Future income tax recovery for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $0.4 million, compared to recovery of $0.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2009. The increase of $0.3 million is due to the higher amount of tax indemnity payments made in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009.
