The Company currently has outstanding warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 1,640,515 common shares at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. Upon completion of the share consolidation, there would be warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 328,103 common shares at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, based on the current number of outstanding warrants.

The Company currently has outstanding stock options exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 4,425,000 common shares at exercise prices ranging from $0.19 to $0.29.
