         shareholder in SRC. SRC owns 75,828 shares of Issuer Common Stock.
         Mr. Atkins and Mr. Hewitt disclaim beneficial ownership in such
         shares.

(e)      Mr. Atkins and Mr. Hewitt are each a co-manager of SRA. SRA owns
         276,704 shares of Issuer common stock, and warrants that are presently
         exercisable to purchase an additional 246,000 shares of Issuer common
         stock.

         over 264,814 shares of Issuer common stock and shared voting power and
         shared investment power over 837,805 shares of common stock,
         representing in the aggregate 6.3% of the sum of, pursuant to
         Rule 13(d)(I)(i), (A) 17,353,269 outstanding shares of the Issuer and
         (B) warrants to acquire 246,000 shares of Issuer Common Stock.

(h)      Mr. Hewitt, therefore, has sole voting power and sole investment power
         over 587,649 shares of Issuer common stock and shared voting power and
         shared investment power over 837,805 shares of common stock,
         representing in the aggregate 8.1% of the sum of, pursuant to
         Rule 13(d)(I)(i), (A) 17,353,269 outstanding shares of the Issuer and
         (B) warrants to acquire 246,000 shares of Issuer Common Stock.

(i)      SRC, therefore, has sole voting power and investment power over 75,828
         shares of Issuer common stock, representing approximately 0.0% of
         17,353,269 outstanding shares of the Issuer.

(m)      SM, therefore, has sole voting and investment power over 166,826 shares
         of Issuer common stock, representing approximately 0.0% of 17,353,269
         outstanding shares of the Issuer.

ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a)      Mr. Atkins and Mr. Hewitt are business associates. Because their
         acquisition, voting, and disposition activities could cause them to be
         deemed to be a "group" (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Mr. Atkins and Mr. Hewitt have
         entered into an agreement evidencing that, unless and until either
         person decides otherwise, each will conduct his activities with
         respect to the Issuer's securities as if the two of them are a "group"
         (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended).

(b)      Other than these agreements, there are no contracts, arrangements,
         understandings or relationships between the Reporting Persons and any
         other party with respect to any of the Issuer common stock owned by a
         Reporting Person.
