Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Holders and Management

The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 25, 2009 by:

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;
 
each of our directors;
 
each of our executive officers; and
 
our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment power. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities which may be acquired by such person upon the exercise of options and warrants or the conversion of convertible securities within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the beneficially-owned shares underlying options, warrants or other convertible securities included in that person's holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other person.
 
Unless indicated otherwise, the address for each person named is c/o Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., 462 Seventh Ave, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10018.
