STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation plans using the

intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement principles as delineated

in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related

interpretations.

No stock based employee compensation cost is reflected in the

statement of operations upon granting of stock options, as all options granted

under the Company's Stock Option Plan had an exercise price equal to or greater

than the market value of the underlying common stock on the day of grant.

However, since certain employee stock options were repriced in October 2002, the

Company accounted for those options under the variable accounting requirements

of APB Opinion 25 and FIN 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving

Stock Compensation", and accordingly, compensation expense was recorded in the

three and six months ended September 30, 2003, since the current market price of

the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price on the date the grant was

We account for employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of recognition and measurement principles as delineated in APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"

and related interpretations.

No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the statement of operations upon granting of stock options, as all options granted under our Stock Option Plan had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the day of grant.

However, since certain employee stock options were repriced in October 2002, we accounted for those options under the variable accounting requirements of APB Opinion 25 and FIN 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", and accordingly, compensation expense was recorded in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003, since the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price on the date the grant was repriced.

At December 31, 2003, our closing stock price was $0.70 per share, a decline of $0.21 per share from the closing stock price at September 30, 2003.

In accordance with FIN 44, we reduced our previous estimate of stock compensation expense by the reduction in stock price, multiplied by the number of outstanding vested repriced options at December 31, 2003.

This produced a net reduction of $314,712 in the intrinsic value based method of expense as shown in the following table.

Effective October 23, 2002 our Board of Directors approved the repricing of most of the options under our 1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended, with exercise prices ranging from $0.22 to $0.84 per share held by most of the employees (including executive officers) and Board members.

In light of the reductions in work force and salary reductions, our Board of Directors deemed it advisable to reprice the options to provide a retention incentive for the remaining employees.

The option grants were repriced to an exercise price of $0.15 per share (the current fair market value of our common stock as of the reprice date) and an exercise price of $0.17 per share (110% of the fair market value at the date of reprice) for those persons owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock.

All grants maintained their existing vesting schedule.

This is deemed to be a repricing under FIN 44 and resulted in variable plan accounting.

A decrease in the closing stock price on December 31, 2003 from the closing stock price on September 30, 2003 resulted in an offset of $314,712 to the compensation expense to be recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2003;

however, a compensation expense in the amount of $947,850 was required to be recognized to reflect the net increase in stock price over the repriced amount for the nine months ended December 31, 2003.

Increases or decreases in our stock price will continue to be recognized in the future for outstanding vested repriced options if the stock price continues to be above the revised exercise price of the options.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 23, 2004, we closed an equity private placement of US$1,028,750.

Under the terms of the private placement, we sold an aggregate of 1,959,524 shares at $0.525 per share and 489,881 share purchase warrants.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of common stock at a price of $0.8625 per share for a period of five years.

In connection with the private placement, we paid a placement fee of $85,000, of which $51,216 was paid in cash and the balance was paid by the issuance of 64,350 shares of common stock and 40,476 share purchase warrants.

After payment of expenses and placement fees, we received net proceeds of $972,534.

These funds will be used to finance the ongoing operations of the business and to augment its sales and marketing efforts.

As part of the private placement, we have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to qualify the resale of the 2,023,874 shares of common stock and the 530,357 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the share purchase warrants issued in the private placement.

We are required to file this registration by March 3, 2004 and have the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission by May 2, 2004.

Should we fail to file the registration statement or have it declared effective within the time requirements, we will be required to pay a penalty of 1% of the purchase price per month, or $10,287.50 per month, for the first 3 months of noncompliance and 2% per month, or $20,575 per month, thereafter.

At this time, we believe that we will meet the time requirements for filing the registration statement and having it declared effective;

however, having the registration statement declared effective is subject to the review and approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The securities issued in this private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
