Despite growing acceptance of Whitemud's product, the Company and the concrete industry continue to experience the negative impact of the economic downturn. Sales growth of Whitemud(MK) has not met the Company's expectations. In response, the Company began investigating opportunities to pursue a strategic relationship with major construction material suppliers that could bring additional resources to marketing metakaolin in North America.

Costs are being minimized through a number of initiatives, including the reduction of overhead through staff reductions and salary cuts to senior management, re-negotiating of key supplier contracts, and by postponing plant production until the majority of the product inventory has been shipped. Through these initiatives, the Company has managed to ensure the retention of key senior management and personnel to maintain continued quality supply and service to our existing and future customers.

Although the Company still has access to a $2 million credit facility with its bank, additional capital will be required to meet its future obligations and sustain operations. Management is currently reviewing its strategy for additional financing.

The acceptance of Whitemud(MK) continues to grow and is being used in a number of high profile projects, including Calgary's landmark Bow Tower project; a 58 story building, which will be the second-largest office complex in Canada, a water treatment plant project near Los Angeles, California, and the Brayton Point Station Cooling Towers Project in Somerset, Massachusetts where two 500-foot tall concrete cooling towers are being constructed by Kiewit Corporation for Dominion Energy, Inc.

To date, Whitemud(MK) has been successfully sold for use in a number of applications, including city sidewalks, residential basement floors, commercial concrete floors, precast concrete tanks, precast concrete jersey barriers, bridge decks, parking structures, water treatment plant construction, underground mineshaft shotcrete, and stucco. Regular shipments of Whitemud(MK) have been delivered to the Canadian oil and gas well cementing industry for specialized lightweight cementing applications to date. Customers have indicated that based on their experience with the performance and the demonstrated economic benefits of Whitemud(MK) they expect to significantly expand their use of Whitemud(MK) to a wider range of applications in 2010.

On February 24, 2010, Whitemud completed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a key concrete industry supplier for the North American distribution of Whitemud(MK) to dramatically improve the Company's ability to grow sales. The terms of the MoU outline the intended role of the distributor and provides a mechanism to commence sales immediately to certain customers before a supply and distribution agreement is completed. Management believes that this industry partner will dramatically enhance the Company's ability to grow sales throughout North America. Whitemud expects the two parties to complete a supply and distribution agreement in the second quarter of 2010.

This financial summary should be read in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, both of which are available on www.sedar.com.
