The warrants have a cashless exercise feature that requires the Company to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities. The
cashless exercise feature requires the company to issue shares of its common stock on conversion of the warrants based on either
the average closing price of the shares as quoted over the last 30 trading days prior to the conversion or if exercised in connection
with an initial public offering the per share value will be the higher of the fair market value or the per share price offered
at the public offering.</FONT></P>
