(c) |
Based on Schedule 13G/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 14, 2007, FMR Corp., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fidelity Management & Research Company (Fidelity), an investment advisor registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 14,590,844 shares of common stock. Edward C. Johnson III and members of his family form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp. Accordingly, FMR Corp. and Edward C. Johnson III have the sole power to dispose of 14,590,844 shares of common stock. They do not, however, have voting power, which instead resides with the Board of Trustees of the investment companies that are managed by Fidelity. Fidelity Management Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank, is the beneficial owner of 15,200 shares of common stock, and FMR Corp and Edward C. Johnson III have the sole dispositive power and sole power to vote or direct the voting of the 15,200 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Pyramis Global Advisors Trust Company (Pyramis), an indirect wholly-owned |
subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank, is the beneficial owner of 313,400 shares of common stock. FMR Corp and Edward C. Johnson III have the sole dispositive power over the 313,400 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Pyramis, and the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 275,900 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Pyramis. |
(d) |
Based on information included in an amendment to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 27, 2006, Nathan A. Low has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and the sole power to direct the disposition of, the shares held by the Nathan A. Low Roth IRAs and the shares held by him individually. Although Nathan A. Low has no direct voting or dispositive power over the 828,643 shares of common stock held by the Nathan A. Low Family Trust or the 100,000 shares of common stock held in individual trusts for the Neufeld children, he may be deemed to beneficially own those shares because his wife, Lisa Low, is the trustee of the Nathan A. Low Family Trust and custodian for the Neufeld children. Therefore, Nathan A. Low reports shared voting and dispositive power over 928,643 shares of common stock. |
(e) |
Based on information included in an amendment to Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on June 26, 2006, Crestview Capital Master LLC is the beneficial owner of 5,819,500 shares of common stock. Messrs. Stewart Flink, Robert Hoyt and Daniel Warsh, share the sole dispositive power and the sole power to vote or direct the voting of the 5,819,500 shares beneficially owned by Crestview Capital Master, LLC. |

(a) |
The assumptions used to calculate value in accordance with FAS 123R may be found in Note 10 Common Stock Options of our financial statements provided in our 12/31/06 Form 10-KSB which was filed on March 15, 2007. |
(b) |
These reflect our company match to a 401(K) defined contribution plan. |
(c) |
Some of the executive officers received additional cash compensation during 2005, but this was payment of deferred salaries for the years 2000 and 2001 that had been recorded, but not paid. This includes an additional cash payment of $47,244 for Mr. Deneau, $26,667 for Mr. Miller and $50,000 for Mr. Tucker. |
(d) |
Mr. Huff became our chief financial officer on June 19, 2006. We paid him a salary in the amount of $90,900 (annual salary of $200,000 per year) for services rendered from the period June 19, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Mr. Huff served as a director throughout the entire year of 2006. We paid him $14,500 for director services through June 18, 2006, including compensation for his services as chairman of our audit committee. We do not pay our executive officers separate compensation for serving as a director. Accordingly, Mr. Huff did not receive separate compensation for his service as a director from June 19, 2006 through the end of 2006. The salary paid to Mr. Huff in 2005 was related exclusively to his services as a director. |
(e) |
In connection with hiring Mr. Huff to serve as our Chief Financial Officer, on June 19, 2006, we agreed to award Mr. Huff a stock bonus in the amount of 500,000 shares of common stock on January 1, 2009, so long as he remains employed by us through June 18, 2008. The total value of this award is $2,110,000 based on the $4.22 per share price at which our stock was trading on June 19, 2006. Because of the two-year vesting requirement, we are prorating the compensation expense associated with this award over the vesting period. |
(f) |
Effective June 19, 2006, Ms. King resigned as Chief Financial Officer. We continue to employ her as Treasurer. |
(g) |
This reflects an award of 30,000 shares on December 8, 2005. The closing price at which our stock traded on that date was $3.88 per share. |

The grant date is the date that we had an equity incentive plan in place with sufficient capacity to issue these options and an effective S-8 registration statement for these options. The exercise price is the fair market value on November 21, 2005, the date our new Board of Directors was impaneled after the October 31, 2005, merger, calculated using the average closing stock price over the preceding 30 trading days. The option award granted to Mr. Deneau vests as follows: 60,000 shares on December 31, 2006; 70,000 shares on December 31, 2007; and 70,000 shares on December 31, 2008. |
(b) |
On June 19, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Ronald E. Huff relating to his service as our Chief Financial Officer. This agreement provides for a term of two years and an annualized salary of $200,000 per year. We have also agreed to award Mr. Huff a stock bonus in the amount of 500,000 shares of common stock on January 1, 2009, so long as Mr. Huff remains employed by us through June 18, 2008, which will require us to record $2,110,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the contract period. If Mr. Huffs employment is terminated prior to this date without just cause or if we undergo a change in control, Mr. Huff will nonetheless be awarded the full 500,000 shares. If Mr. Huffs employment is terminated prior to June 18, 2008 due to death or disability, he will receive a prorated stock award. As part of his employment arrangement, Mr. Huff forfeited the option to purchase 200,000 shares that he was previously awarded by the Company in return for his service as a director. Mr. Huff will not be eligible to participate in any annual bonus plan or other additional long-term incentive award during the term of the Employment Agreement. |

All of the option awards depicted on the foregoing table, other than options awarded to Mr. Deneau, were fully vested upon issuance. |
