The Company determined that the conversion feature of the amended convertible debenture represent an embedded derivative since the debentures is convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the assumed convertible debentures are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability.

At March 31, 2008 the fair value of the conversion derivative liability created by the assumed debentures calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $516,129.
