(1)During the first quarter of 2012, the Company issued 500,000 restricted units of IFMI Common Stock to a non-employee. FASB ASC 505-50 requires that an equity instrument issued to a non-employee should be measured by using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the date at which either: (i) a commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached; or (2) the counterparty’s performance is complete. In accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, the Company will not accrue any expense until the actual vesting date occurs. As of the grant date, the restricted units were valued at $0.

(2)During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were 103,155 shares of Restricted Stock that were forfeited due to the fact that the grantees were unable to achieve certain performance thresholds, and therefore, the awards would never vest.
