Based on information available to First Avenue, (i) Image may be deemed to beneficially own 5,212,938 shares of common stock, constituting 25.6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company; and (ii) NewSouth may be deemed to beneficially own 1,087,928 shares of common stock, constituting 6.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

The 572,921 shares of common stock beneficially owned by First Avenue over which it has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition are comprised of (i) 147,500 shares of common stock and (ii) 425,421 shares of common stock underlying 46,204 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
CUSIP No. 46059S200
First Avenue has shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 934,886 shares of common stock (the Agreement Shares) as a result of entering into 10b5-1 Trading Plans on May 28, 2004. First Avenue has sole power to vote or direct the vote of 175,000 of the Agreement Shares.
