    a CMFO is not paying a full U.S. tax rate. Therefore, all EPS numbers have been adjusted by the GeoTeam® to reflect a U.S. tax rate of 36%.

    b While the company did not provide EPS guidance, they did provide net income guidance.  Therefore, the GeoTeam used the 2008 year ending outstanding share count of 23,010,842 to calculate an implied EPS figure.  Commentary in the company's March 31 10Q, page 58, infers that dilution from capital raises may not be an issue:

    "We believe that the current operating activities would be able to generate adequate cash flows supporting the daily operations. We do not have any fund raising plan at the moment."

    It should be noted that the company does have 2 million outstanding warrants with an exercise price of $4.20.  This could come into play if the stock gains momentum.
