        <footnote id="F1">Reflects the one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Common Stock on September 24, 2004.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The holdings reported on Table I are owned of record by Chelsey Direct, LLC (which is wholly-owned by the Chelsey Capital
Profit Sharing Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;), of which the Reporting Person is the Trustee) and indirectly by William B. Wachtel as the
Manager of Chelsey Direct. The Reporting Person is the principal beneficiary of the Plan. The Reporting Person is also sole
officer and director of DSJ International Resources Ltd., the sponsor of the Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">As consideration for a term loan by Chelsey Finance, LLC (&quot;Chelsey Finance&quot;) to the Issuer on July 8, 2004, the Issuer was
required to issue to Chelsey Finance a warrant (the &quot;Common Stock Warrant&quot;) to purchase 30% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. Until the Issuer's stockholders approved the issuance of the Common Stock Warrant and
certain amendments to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation on August 12, 2004, the Issuer had issued to Chelsey Finance
in the interim a warrant to purchase 100 shares of the Issuer's Series D Preferred Stock, which was automatically exchanged
for the Common Stock Warrant. Chelsey Finance is wholly-owned by Chelsey Funding LLC, which is in turn wholly-owned by the
Plan. See Note (2) hereto.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The Reporting Person initially reported the estimated number of shares of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as
10,247,210 shares (after giving effect to the reverse stock split described in Note (1) hereto). Based on the Issuer's
advice as to the actual number of such shares, the Reporting Person has increased such number by 12,156 shares to 10,259,366
shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The Common Stock Warrant is held of record by Chelsey Finance. As indicated in Note (2) hereto, Stuart Feldman (the Reporting
 Person) is sole officer and director of the sponsor of the Plan and the principal beneficiary of the Plan.</footnote>
