      <footnote id="F1"> A total of 160,000 shares were issued to Rick Langley from the Professional/Employee/Consultant Compensation Plan sponsored by the Issuer, and filed with the SEC in an S-8 Registration Statement. Such shares were issued in lieu of cash payments for services and for expenses incurred previously. That acquisition of Issuer Shares by Rick Langley, therefore, was exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under Rule 16b-3(a), and no Form 4 disclosure was required for that acquisition of shares. This Form is being filed voluntarily, in advance, for the impending change in Mr. Langley's ownership as he sells up to 65000 shares in advance, for the impending change in Mr. Langley's ownership as he sells up to 65,000 shares over the next 60 days, in accordance with the Form 4 instructions.</footnote>
      <footnote id="F2"> The estimated price per share is $2.50, but future prices may be variable.</footnote>
      <footnote id="F3"> This number is the actual number of shares held by Rick Langley after the sale of 65000 shares. Additionally, however, Rick Langley has an indirect interest in shares held in RHM Management, Inc., of which Rick Langley is President and the majority shareholder. RHM Management, Inc. ceased to be an affiliate of the Issuer on March 21, 2003, and now holds 400,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.</footnote>
