        <footnote id="F1">All common stock numbers, common stock prices, and the preferred stock conversion price have been adjusted to reflect the issuer's 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective on December 23, 2003. The number of shares reflects the transfer of 1,272,000 shares of common stock from Demand Aggregation Solutions, LLC to B/K Venture Capital, LLP after the automatic conversion of 1,200 shares of preferred stock directly owned by Demand Aggregation Solutions, LLC. Conversion was determined by dividing the liquidation price with respect to the preferred stock (which is equal to the issuance price of $1,000 per share plus any accrued, but unpaid dividends) by the conversion price. The conversion reflects accrued, but unpaid dividends of $60.00 per share with respect to the preferred stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The exact price of the securities acquired was $0.07687 per share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The shares of common stock reported herein are directly owned by B/K Venture Capital, LLP.  The Reporting Person may be deemed to be an indirect beneficial holder of the common stock as the Reporting Person exercises control over certain entities with a beneficial interest in B/K Venture Capital, LLP.</footnote>
