SPA
”) (as
disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2017),
each
of the Reporting Persons may be deemed
to have beneficial ownership of 656,443 shares of Common
Stock, which consists of
(i)
645,000 shares of Common Stock
that
was to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA and (ii) 11,443 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of a warrant that was to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the
SPA (“
Intracoastal Warrant 1
”),
and all such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represent beneficial
ownership of approximately
9.99
% of the Common Stock,
based
on (1)
5,914,560 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 6, 2017 as reported by the Issuer
,
plus

. The foregoing excludes (I) 633,557 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of
Intracoastal Warrant 1 b
ecause
Intracoastal
Warrant 1

Intracoastal
Warrant 1
to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the
holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates,
of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock, (II) 645,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a second warrant that was

contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the
right to exercise
Intracoastal Warrant 2
to the extent that such exercise would result
in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a
group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock), (III) 2,425 shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a third warrant held by Intracoastal (“
Intracoastal Warrant 3
”)
b
ecause
Intracoastal Warrant 3
contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof
does not have the right to exercise
Intracoastal Warrant 3
to the extent that such
exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with any persons whose beneficial ownership of the
Common Stock would or could be aggregated with such holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock. Without such blocker provisions (and assuming Intracoastal Warrant 2 was currently
exercisable), each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 1,937,425 shares of Common Stock.
(ii)
As
of close of business on July 14, 2017, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of

Stock,
based on (1)
5,914,560 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 6, 2017 as
reported by the Issuer
, plus (2)
2,050,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate

645,000
shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Intracoastal Warrant 1
.
The foregoing excludes (I) 645,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Intracoastal Warrant 2
b
ecause
Intracoastal Warrant 2 is not exercisable until December 22, 2017 (and Intracoastal Warrant
2 also
contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise
Intracoastal
Warrant 2
to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the
holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates,
of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock) and (II) 2,425 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Intracoastal Warrant
3
b
ecause
Intracoastal Warrant 3
contains
a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise
Intracoastal
Warrant 3
to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with any
persons whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would or could be aggregated with such holder’s for purposes of Section
