cially owned by the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person dis-
claims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by his spouse. If

standing Common Stock as determined by Rule 13d-3 under the Securi-
ties Exchange Act of 1934.

Common Stock, which shares are held in the name of Brandy Norton, the
Reporting Person's spouse. Mrs. Norton resides at 2180 East Walker
Lane, Holladay, Utah 84117 and works out of her home for the Issuer.
