Explanation of Responses:
(1) Reflects 16,000 shares withheld by Issuer at the market price of $2.25 per share to fund the cashless exercise of 30,000 options at an exercise price of $1.20 per share.
(2) The options were granted by the Issuer to compensate executive officers for their services.

Remarks:
The reporting person exercised and gifted the options because they were about to expire. The transactions reported above in Table I reflect the cashless exercise transactions of 30,000 stock options. The cashless exercise for the options is reported in two lines. The first line of the cashless exercise transaction is coded M in column 4 of Table I and reports in column 5 the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the options had cash been paid to exercise the options, together with the exercise price with Code A for acquired. The line coded F in column 3 of Table I relates to the same cashless exercise on the preceding line and reports in Column 5 the number of shares deducted from the total number of shares issuable to pay for the cashless exercise of such options with Code D for disposed. The transactions reported in Table II above, reflect the disposition of the same stock options whose cashless exercise is disclosed in Table I above. In addition, the reporting person gifted certain stock options to a charity in a transaction coded with Code G.
