(b) Options and Warrants

(i) Employee Options

In 2008, the shareholders approved the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for the granting of both incentive stock options at the fair market value at the date of grant and nonqualified stock options at the fair market value at the date of grant to employees or non-employees who, in the determination of the Board of Directors, have made or may make significant contributions to the Company in the future. The Company may also award stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or restricted stock units under this plan. The Company initially reserved 750,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under this plan, and 388,508 options and other awards were available for issuance under this plan as of December 31, 2012.

At the discretion of the Board of Directors, options expire in ten years or less from the date of grant and are generally fully exercisable upon grant but in some cases may be subject to vesting in the future. Full payment of the exercise price may be made in cash or in shares of common stock valued at the fair market value thereof on the date of exercise, or by agreeing with the Company to cancel a portion of the exercised options.

The Company granted no Employee options during 2012 and 2011. The Company granted 176,000 fully vested options during 2010 and recorded share-based compensation of $406,560. There was no share-based compensation recorded in 2012 and 2011. The Company valued these 2010 grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Fair value on grant date	$	2.31
