        <footnote id="F1">Number represents principal amount of 8% senior secured convertible note in dollars.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Promissory note is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder after the Company has increased its authorized shares of common stock to a number that will allow for such conversion (the &quot;Capital Increase&quot;) and is convertible at the option of the Company commencing six months from the issuance of the notes, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the effectiveness of the Capital Increase, the effectiveness of a resale registration statement and satisfaction of certain minimum price and liquidity requirements for the Company's common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The notes mature on January 1, 2008.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Represents the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the note.  Accrued interest may be converted into common stock as well.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The promissory notes and warrants were issued as part of the Company's sale of Units, with each whole Unit comprising a $100,000 8% senior secured convertible promissory note and a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.02 per share.  Each whole Unit was sold for $100,000 and fractional units were sold for a ratable price (e.g., one-quarter of a Unit for $25,000).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F6">Warrants will become exercisable in two equal tranches. The first tranche becomes exercisable on the day following the effectiveness of the Capital Increase.  The warrant will expire with respect to the first tranche on the later of May 31, 2006 or 45 days after the effectiveness of a resale registration statement covering the underlying warrant shares (earlier in the event of an extraordinary corporate transaction).  The warrant will then become exercisable with respect to the second tranche 70 days after the first tranche expires and will remain exercisable for a period of 45 days.</footnote>
