Moshayedi Revocable Trust, dated 12/30/96, and each of the Reporting Persons (collectively, the “Shareholders”) have a non-binding understanding that at any shareholders meeting of SimpleTech, Inc.

Manouch Moshayedi, Mike Moshayedi and Mark Moshayedi are family members and each currently serves as executive officers and directors of the Issuer. Based on the non-binding understanding described above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Act. As the Shareholders collectively own or control approximately 58.0%* of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2004, the Issuer is considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 4350(c)(5). None of the Reporting Persons have the power to vote, to direct the voting of, to dispose, or to direct the disposition of the shares of common stock beneficially owned or controlled by the other Shareholders and each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act of the shares of common stock beneficially held or controlled by the other Shareholders. | ||||||||||
