Due to the anti-dilutive effect of the Corporation's net loss for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the diluted number of
shares is equal to the basic number of shares. Therefore, diluted per
share amounts of the net loss and cash flow from operations are
equivalent to basic per share amounts.
