a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13G as Exhibit 1,
pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this
Schedule 13G jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule
13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

666 Dundee Road, Suite 1901, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.

Form 424(B)(2) filed on October 28,
SCHEDULE 13G
CUSIP NO. 00253U107 Page 6 of 8
2004), Cranshire holds approximately 6.6% of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

excludes certain shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of warrants held by Cranshire. Such warrants issued to

warrants from exercising such warrants to the extent that giving
effect to such exercise, such holder would beneficially own in
excess of 4.9999% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock
(determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934).
Because (i) Downsview is the general partner of Cranshire and

shares of Downsview and is the president thereof, each of
Downsview and Kopin are considered to share the power to vote or
direct the vote of, and the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of, the shares of Common Stock which Cranshire
beneficially owns. Each of Downsview and Kopin disclaim
beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the

admission that each of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial
owner of the Common Stock covered by such statement.
