Accordingly, based on the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the period ended September 30, 2007, 294,593 of the shares underlying the warrants are not exercisable and consequently, the shares underlying the warrants have not been included in the number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting persons.
