Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person erroneously reported his status as a greater than 10% owner of the registrant's common stock and underreported the number of shares held by the reporting person upon his election as a director. The derivative securities held by Europa International, Inc. (Europa), prohibit Europa from converting or exercising such securities if after such conversion and/or exercise Europa would beneficially own more than 4.9% of the registrant's outstanding common stock. Europa's beneficial ownership is therefore limited to 4.9% of the registrant's outstanding common stock until such time as the shares issuable under such securities, along with shares of the registrant's common stock held by Europa, constitute 4.9% or less of the registrant's outstanding common stock, or Europa elects to remove such restriction.
2. The reporting person, the principal of Knoll Capital Management, L.P., the investment manager for Europa International, Inc., exercises voting and dispositive power over the shares held by Europa International, Inc., but disclaims any beneficial interest in such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
