(2) At October 31, 2003, the investors have converted all but approximately $958,000 of principal of the convertible notes and debentures issued since February 2002. Based on current market prices, the Company would be required to issue approximately 1.2 million additional shares of its common stock if the investors elected to convert their remaining debentures at this time.
(3) On February 14, 2003 the registration statement for the shares underlying the $525,000 of the Bristol Debentures became effective. On July 18, 2003, the registration statement for 52,500,000 shares underlying the Other Recent Financings became effective. As a result of a decline in the market price of the Company's stock subsequent to the effective date of the July 2003 registration statement, the number of shares registered was insufficient to permit the complete conversion of the notes and debentures into registered shares. The shares underlying certain of the convertible securities have become eligible for resale under Rule 144, and certain investors have availed themselves of that eligibility to convert restricted shares issued pursuant to conversions into free-trading shares. As of September 30, 2003, approximately 40% of the Company's outstanding common stock, or approximately 54.5 million shares, is unregistered. Of this amount, Marr Technologies holds 33.5 million restricted shares issued pursuant to their two PIPE transactions and the conversion of their investment in $570,000 principal value of 12% convertible notes. Other investors in our convertible notes and debentures hold approximately 19.0 million restricted shares issued pursuant to their conversions.
