Explanation of Responses:
1. Pursuant to the agreement between the Issuer and FCMI Financial Corporation ("FCMI"), FCMI purchased 1,100,000 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000.00. No per-share price was specified.
2. Includes 736,526 shares issued pursuant to a one-for-eight stock split on May 1, 2003.
3. All shares reported in this Form 4 are owned, and all warrants reported in this Form 4 were owned, directly by FCMI. Mr. Albert D. Friedberg is the President of FCMI, which is owned by Mr. Friedberg and members of his family and controlled by Mr. Friedberg.
4. The information in Table II with respect to the expired warrants reported therein does not give effect to a one-for-eight stock split effected on May 1, 2003. Solely for comparative purposes, had the warrants expired after such stock split, the exercise price would have been $1.50 per share, and the number of underlying shares of common stock would have been 375,000.
5. The transaction reported is the expiration of stock purchase warrants in accordance with their terms. No compensation was payable in connection with the expiration of the warrants.
