Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a),(b),(c). As of September 2, 2015, Dutchess directly
beneficially owned 3,431,169 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 7.8 percent of the total shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2015. As Directors of Dutchess, each of Messrs. Novielli and Leighton may be deemed to be
indirect beneficial owners of the 3,431,169 shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Dutchess. As a result, each
of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote the shares of Common Stock and shared power to dispose or
direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock. Dutchess sold 464,688 shares of Common Stock in open market
transactions at an average price of $0.61 per share. These shares were sold in open-market transactions at prices ranging
from $0.13 to $1.43, inclusive. The Reporting Persons undertake to provide upon request to the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth
above.
In addition, as of September 2, 2015, Novielli directly beneficially
owned 296,278 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.6 percent of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of August 11, 2015. These shares are held in the name of Dutchess Global Strategies Fund LLC, a private investment vehicle

which are beneficially owned solely by Leighton, who has sole power to vote the 50,578 shares of Common Stock and sole power to

On May 16, 2014 in connection with an Agreement
and Plan of Merger to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Denver, Colorado-based Hollister &
Blacksmith Inc. (the “Merger”), Dutchess received 982,801 shares of Common Stock in exchange for certain other securities
of the Company, and 197,101 shares of Common Stock to settle certain previously contracted debts with the Company. No additional
consideration was paid for these shares. At the time of Merger, Dutchess held 2,800,008 shares of Common Stock, bringing its total
to 3,979,910 shares of Common Stock.
Also on May 16, 2014, in connection with the
Merger and a new round of financing (the “Financing”), Dutchess acquired $71,500 face value of convertible debentures
(the “Debentures”) for a purchase price of $71,500. The Debentures expire on April 24, 2016, and are convertible into
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share; however, the Debentures are subject to a provision stating that
the holder is not entitled to convert, and that the Company will not permit such conversion, into that number of shares which,
when added to the number of shares of Common Stock already beneficially owned by the converting party (as such term is defined
under Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would exceed 4.99 percent of the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. Given that the Reporting Persons already beneficially own in excess of 4.99 percent of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding, this makes the Debentures presently unexercisable in the hands of the Reporting Persons and the Reporting Persons
are therefore not deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures.
Additional information regarding the Merger,
the Financing and the Debentures is provided in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2014, which is expressly incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.

of Common Stock to settle a previously contracted debt with the Company, and Leighton received 50,578 shares of common stock to
settle a previously contracted debt with the Company. No additional consideration was paid for these shares.
Also on May 16, 2014, Dutchess sold 71,200
shares of Common Stock in open market transactions at an average price of $0.84 per share. These shares were sold in open-market
transactions at prices ranging from $0.63 to $1.05, inclusive. The Reporting Persons undertake to provide upon request to the
staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within
the ranges set forth above.
On May 19, 2014, Dutchess sold 10,000 shares
of Common Stock in an open market transaction at $1.03 per share.
On June 1, 2014, Dutchess sold 2,325 shares
