Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Each of which options includes a potential future 90% exercise bonus "exercise bonus" (See Notes 9&10, Financial Statements, Form 10-Q for quarter ended 9/30/17
(2)  This report reflects the cancellation (effective November 7, 2017) (per agreements reached between October 14 - Nov 6, 2017) of $121,386 of accrued convertible deferred compensation (including November 2017 accrual) which was convertible into 144,507 shares of common stock at November 7, 2017 (see Notes 5&10 Financial Statements Form 10-Q for quarter ended 9/30/17 (Note that, per item 12, Form 10 - k (for year ended June 30 2017) $120,269 of convertible deferred compensation was convertible into 133,164 shares at August 15, 2017. This category of security's amount has varied with the addition of accrued deferred compensation and has fluctuated in number as the market-based conversion price has varied by formula. New accruals will commence during December 2017 with the same variables in place.
(3)  The number of warrants included in Units to be received in conversion of existing "January 2015 Convertible Note" (as defined in Form 10-Q Financial Statements, Note 7 and other SEC filings) has increased from 1/4 to 1/2 per Unit which change increased potential warrants to be received in the event of conversion of Mr. Schafer's "January 2015 Convertible Note" by 210,635 at November 7, 2017 including interest accruals through November 30, 2017 (with future increase due to subsequent interest accruals).

See Notes 7, 9 & 10 Financial Statements Form 10Q for quarter ended 9/30/17.
(4)  Outstanding "January 2015 Convertible Note" (as defined in Form 10-Q Financial Statements, Note 7 and other SEC filings) has a balance (principal plus accrued interest) of approximately $421,270 as of November 30, 2017.
