The Company has established a 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the granting of options to acquire up to 1,350,000 shares. The Plan provides for the granting of options to employees and service providers, with no single optionee to be granted options in excess of 5% of the number of issued shares of the Company. All options are to be granted at fair value, and the term of the options granted is not to exceed five years. Options to acquire a total of 1,209,000 shares have been granted and are outstanding at March 31, 2005 under the Plan.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the provisions of CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments” with respect to the fair market value accounting for stock options granted to employees. In prior years, the Company recorded the fair market value of the stock options granted to non-employees only as compensation expense. In 2003, the Company did not account for stock based compensation when stock options were granted to employees and directors; however, it disclosed the pro forma effect of the stock based compensation on its financial results. In 2004 the Company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock based compensation.

The fair value of the options granted to non-employees was estimated at the date of granting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.82%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of 62.87%, and an average life of 3 years in 2004 and risk free interest rate of 3.5%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility factor of 85.95%, and an average life of 3 years in 2003.

The Black-Scholes valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which are fully transferable and freely traded. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including estimated stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Pro-forma results of operations may be materially different from actual results realized.
