The shares of the Issuer’s common stock reported as beneficially owned by ECM on this Schedule (the “Securities”) are held by or for the benefit of EGP. ECM, as general partner and investment manager of EGP, and Mitchell S. Levine, as managing member and majority owner of ECM, may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that ECM or Mr. Levine is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of ECM and Mr. Levine disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 of pages 2, 3 and 4 was derived from the Issuer’s Form 10-QSB Quarterly Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2008, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of May 5, 2008 was 6,923,715 shares. In calculating the aforementioned percentages, the reporting persons have additionally included some of the Securities known by the reporting persons to have been issued subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-QSB.
