Explanation of Responses:
1. On May 30, 2014, pursuant to a board resolution, George J. Coates and the Company mutually agreed to convert $369,726 principal amount of 17% promissory notes due to Mr. Coates into shares of common stock of the Company at the closing price per share of $0.029 per share on May 30, 2014. Accrued interest on these notes was not converted and interest on this accrued interest will continue to accrue. These promissory notes arose from cash lent to the Corporation from Mr. Coates? personal funds. Accordingly, the Company issued 12,749,162 unregistered, restricted shares of its common stock to Mr. Coates. As a result, current liabilities were reduced by $369,726 and the stockholders? deficiency was reduced by the same amount.
