                            CODE OF ETHICS

         A company's strength is dependant upon its values and the
         employees' commitment to them. Sporg's Code of Ethics is
         based upon one of our key values - Integrity.

         It is essential to the continued success of the Company that
         all transactions are conducted with integrity, that is, in an
         ethical and honest matter. The way in which we, both as a
         company and as individuals, interact with our clients,
         vendors, government agencies and each other has a major
         effect upon image and reputation.

         It is essential that we do not impair our ability to behave
         honestly and impartially by placing ourselves under an
         obligation to others, by accepting favours or gifts, or by
         placing ourselves in a conflict of interest situation by
         accepting outside appointments or part-time employment.

         We must ensure that we conduct our business in a legal and
         ethical manner, complying with all relevant legislation,
         maintaining proper books and records and handling all funds
         and assets honestly.

         Care should be taken in dealing with confidential and
         proprietary information, both ours and our customer's. It
         should not be disclosed to outside parties, nor should it be
         used to derive personal benefit.

         It is our policy to deal honestly and fairly with employees,
         customers, suppliers and all other agencies and it is
         expected that all employees will demonstrate their active
         support in this matter.

         If there is any doubt or difficulty in determining if a
         course of action or situation is in conflict with the
         interests of the Company, employees are requested to contact
         their manager, who is responsible for ensuring appropriate
         and timely clarification.
