                                 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
