By: /s/ Quentin T. Kelly ------------------------- Name: Quentin T. Kelly ------------------------- Its: Chief Executive Officer ----------------------- Address: 200 Ludlow Drive Ewing, New Jersey 08638 EXHIBIT "A" CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION EXHIBIT "B" WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK EXHIBIT "C" PREFERRED CERTIFICATE EXHIBIT "D" WARRANT CERTIFICATE SCHEDULE 3.8 The Company believes that non-cash expenses recorded in 2005 in the amount of $3.8 million related to the issuance of a convertible debt instrument should have been amortized over the life of the debt instrument rather than recorded as an expense in 2005. The Company is considering an amendment to the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 restating these non-cash expense items for 2005 and 2006. The result of the restatement in 2005 will be a reduction in expenses of $3.8 million, and the result in 2006 will be an increase in expenses of $2.8. The net effect to this restatement will be a positive effect on stockholders equity of $1.0 million. The effect of these changes on the profit and loss statements in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 is approximately $30,000 per quarter and the Company also is considering amendments to these reports. The Company has not completed its investigation and review of the proposed changes and these issues have not been proposed to the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. The following report on Form 8-K has been filed by the Company since December 31, 2007: Report on Form 8-K filed January 31, 2008.
