Potential Adverse Effects - Dilution

If our stockholders vote to approve this Proposal 3, the issuance of shares of our common stock in excess of 19.99% of our outstanding shares pursuant to the ELOC, it will have a dilutive effect on current stockholders in that the percentage ownership of GCT held by such other current stockholders will decline as a result of the issuance of such common stock. Issuance of such common stock will also have a dilutive effect on book value per share and any future earnings per share. Dilution of equity interests could also cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline.
