      On June 27, 2002, the Issuer made a convertible promissory note in the
      principal amount of $500,000 to the Reporting Person which is convertible
      at the rate of 1 share of the Issuer's common stock for each $.25 of debt.
      In connection with this transaction, the Issuer also issued on June 27,
      2002 a warrant to the Reporting Person entitling the Reporting Person to
      purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at $.25 per
      share.

      On November 12, 2002, the Issuer and the Reporting Person entered into a
      letter agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to provide
      a series of advances to the Issuer, which are expected to be in an
      aggregate amount of a minimum of $2,000,000 and a maximum of $3,000,000.
      Advances will not be made unless certain creditors of the Issuer agree to
      restructuring, extending and/or converting to equity their obligations
      from the Issuer to the satisfaction of the Reporting Person. The Issuer
      made a convertible promissory note to the Reporting Person for $3,000,000.
      The note may be converted at the Reporting Person's option at the rate of
      1 share for each $.25 of debt. In connection with this transaction, the
      Issuer also issued on November 12, 2002, a warrant to the Reporting Person
      entitling the Reporting Person to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the
      Issuer's common stock at $.25 per share.

      In sum, if the Reporting Person provides the entire $3,000,000 in funding
      pursuant to the note issued on November 12, 2002 and fully converts the
      principal amount of the four notes described above which she holds, she
      would own 17,500,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock. If the accrued
      interest is also converted pursuant to these notes, the number of shares
      received would increase accordingly. If the Reporting Person exercises the
      three warrants in full, she would own an additional 3,500,000 shares of
      the Issuer's common stock, for a total of 21,000,000 shares.

      The Issuer has 20,659,497 shares of Common Stock outstanding based on the
      Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30,
      2002. Accordingly, if the Reporting Person exercised all of the warrants
      and converted all of the Notes she would own approximately 21,000,000
      shares, the Issuer would have outstanding 41,659,497 shares and the
      Reporting Person would own 50.4% of the then outstanding Common Stock.

            convertible at the rate of 1 share of the Issuer's common stock for
            each $1.00 of debt at the option of the Reporting Person. On
            February 21, 2002, the Reporting Person made a convertible
            promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 to the Reporting
            Person which is convertible at the rate of 1 share of the Issuer's
            common stock for each $.25 of debt. In connection with this note
            issuance, the Issuer also issued, on February 21, 2002, a warrant to
            the Reporting Person entitling the Reporting Person to purchase up
            to 250,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at $.25 per share.

            On June 27, 2002, the Issuer made a convertible promissory note in
            the principal amount of $500,000 to the Reporting Person which is
            convertible at the rate of 1 share of the Issuer's common stock for
            each $.25 of debt. In connection with this transaction, the Issuer
            also issued on June 27, 2002 a warrant to the Reporting Person
            entitling the Reporting Person to purchase up to 250,000 shares of
            the Issuer's common stock at $.25 per share.

            On November 12, 2002, the Issuer and the Reporting Person entered
            into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Person
            agreed to provide a series of advances to the Issuer, which are
            expected to be in an aggregate amount of a minimum of $2,000,000 and
            a maximum of $3,000,000. Advances will not be made unless certain
            creditors of the Issuer agree to restructuring, extending and/or
            converting to equity their obligations from the Issuer to the
            satisfaction of the Reporting Person. The Issuer made a convertible
            promissory note to the Reporting Person for $3,000,000. The note may
            be converted at the Reporting Person's option at the rate of 1 share
            for each $.25 of debt. In connection with this transaction, the
            Issuer also issued on November 12, 2002, a warrant to the Reporting
            Person entitling the Reporting Person to purchase up to 3,000,000
            shares of the Issuer's common stock at $.25 per share.

            In sum, if the Reporting Person provides the entire $3,000,000 in
            funding pursuant to the note issued on November 12, 2002 and fully
            converts the principal amounts of the four notes described above
            which she holds, she would own 17,500,000 shares of the Issuer's
            common stock. If the accrued interest is also converted pursuant to
            these notes, the number of shares received would increase
            accordingly. If the Reporting Person exercises the three warrants in
            full, she would own an additional 3,500,000 shares of the Issuer's
            common stock, for a total of 21,000,000 shares.

            Percent of class:

            based on the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the

            exercised all of the warrants and converted all of the Notes she
            would own approximately 21,000,000 shares and the Issuer would have
            outstanding 41,659,497 shares.

      (c)   Recent transactions:

            On November 12, 2002, the Issuer and the Reporting Person entered
            into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Person
            agreed to provide a series of advances to the Issuer, which are
            expected to be in an aggregate amount of a minimum of $2,000,000 and
            a maximum of $3,000,000. Advances will not be made unless certain
            creditors of the Issuer agree to restructuring, extending and/or
            converting to equity their obligations from the Issuer to the
            satisfaction of the Reporting Person. The Issuer made a convertible
            promissory note to the Reporting Person for $3,000,000. The Note is
            payable in monthly interest installments at 5% per annum with
            principal due on November 12, 2005. The Note may be converted at the
            Reporting Person's option at the rate of 1 share for each $.25 of
            debt. If the Reporting Person provides the entire $3,000,000 in
            funding and fully converts, she would receive 12,000,000 shares of
            the Issuer's Common Stock. Any accrued interest converted would
            increase the number of shares received. The Issuer also issued a
            warrant to the Reporting Person pursuant to which she may acquire up
            to 3,000,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at $.25 per share
