        <footnote id="F1">On October 16, 2007, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 72,000 shares of common stock.  The option vested in full on the date that the issuer filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 if the issuer attained 115% of the adjusted projected cumulative economic profit per share for the three fiscal years ended April 30, 2010.  The performance criteria were met, resulting in the vesting of the option for 72,000 shares of common stock.</footnote>
