SPA
”) (as
disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2018), each of the Reporting
Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 1,959,737 shares of Common Stock, which consisted of (i)
1,562,500
shares of Common Stock to be issued to Intracoastal at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA and (ii) 397,237

beneficial ownership of approximately 9.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 17,657,255 shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of April 12, 2018 as reported by the Issuer, plus (2)
1,562,500

12, 2018 as reported by the Issuer
, plus
(2) 14,730,000 shares of Common Stock issued at
the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA and (3)
1,562,500 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of
the Intracoastal Warrant.
