Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Persons purchased a Unit plus a fraction of a Unit consisting of shares of Common Stock and a warrant for the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock. Each Unit consisted of 625,000 shares and a warrant for the purchase of an additional 625,000 shares. The purchase price was $62,500 per Unit. No allocation was made between the purchase price for the shares and the purchase price for the warrant, and the transaction is being reported here as the purchase of Common Stock at a price of $0.10 per share and the acquisition of a warrant for zero consideration.
