Explanation of Responses:
1. Mr. Schafran was originally granted 50,000 shares of common stock upon joining the Board of Directors of SulphCo, Inc. This grant had been included in the amount of securities beneficially owned by Mr. Schafran in the Form 3, filed on December 13, 2006. These shares were never issued to Mr. Schafran and on August 3, 2007, the Board of Directors rescinded such grant and authorized the grant to Mr. Schafran of options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in lieu thereof. These options are fully vested upon grant and are otherwise subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the SulphCo, Inc. 2006 Stock Option Plan, and the accompanying stock option agreement under which they are granted.
