Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK OPTIONS | 16. Stock Options. STOCK OPTIONS The Company has a stock option plan (“Plan”). The purpose of this Plan is to provide additional incentives to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries in order to help attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of responsibility and otherwise promote the success of the Company’s business. It is intended that options issued under this Plan constitute non-qualified stock options. The general terms of awards under the option plan are that 100% of the options granted will vest the year following the grant. The maximum term of options granted is 5 years and the exercise price for all options are issued for not less than fair market value at the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITIES
