Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
  
 
As of the date hereof Broadwood Partners may be deemed to beneficially own 8,617,562 Shares.
 
As of the date hereof Broadwood Capital may be deemed to beneficially own 8,617,562 Shares.
 
As of the date hereof Neal C. Bradsher may be deemed to beneficially own 8,643,462 Shares.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
  
     
 
The Reporting Persons acquired their Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes.
  
     
 
The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which, other than as expressly set forth below, would relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of presently-owned securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any material change in the operating policies or corporate structure of the Issuer; (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or by-laws; (h) the Shares of the Issuer ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in the over-the-counter security markets; or (i) causing the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Reporting Persons, however, reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes or transactions in the number of shares they may be deemed to beneficially own.
 
  
 
The Reporting Persons have been and may continue to be in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the Issuer's Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to improve shareholder value.
  
     
 
The Reporting Persons are encouraged by the recent changes to the Issuer's management team, which they believe have improved the odds that the Issuer may successfully overcome its recent setbacks and realize its substantial long-term growth opportunity.  In light of the recent management changes, and consistent with the Reporting Persons' longstanding belief in the Issuer's proprietary technology and substantial growth opportunity, the Reporting Persons recently increased their ownership of the Issuer's shares.
  
     
 
However, the Reporting Persons remain concerned that while the Issuer's management team has improved, its Board of Directors' alignment with and representation of the Issuer's shareholders are still inadequate.  The results of the Issuer's shareholders' votes at the Issuer's most recent annual meeting made clear that shareholders do not support certain members of the current Board.  The Reporting Persons are encouraged that there have been two subsequent improvements to the Board, including the appointment of Mr. Wall.  However, these changes represent only slow and limited progress toward a board that is aligned with and represents the Issuer's shareholders.  The Reporting Persons intend to remain in dialogue with members of the Board and other shareholders about potential further improvements to the Board and the Issuer's corporate governance.
