        <footnote id="F1">All Common Stock numbers, common stock prices, and Preferred Stock conversion price have been adjusted to reflect the issuer's 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective on December 23, 2003.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Reflects the automatic conversion of 100 shares of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the reporting person through his ownership interest in Beachum Investments, LLC based on the conversion price of $1.00. The reporting person is not a manager of such entity and, therefore, has no voting or investment power with respect to such shares.  The 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 of Preferred Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The warrant, which was issued in connection with the purchase of Preferred Stock, was waived and terminated by Beachum Investments, LLC effective as of February 26, 2004 in connection with the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock and the issuer's private placement of Common Stock on February 26, 2004.</footnote>
