NOTE 5 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

General Option Information

On July 6, 2011, the Board of Directors cancelled the “2004 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan” and approved the "Directors’ 2011 Stock Option and Award Plan”.   Under the 2011 Plan, a total of 3,300,000 shares are authorized for issuance.  

The Company also maintained the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan, which was previously approved by shareholders, for the purpose of granting option awards to its employees and consultants.   This plan had a 10 year life and expired July 2015.

On August 10, 2015, the Board of Directors cancelled the “Directors’ 2011 Stock Option and Award Plan” as all options under this plan had been granted and adopted the “2015 Omnibus Stock Option and Award Plan” which contains provisions for up to 3,000,000 stock options to be granted to employees, consultants and directors.

Prior Issuances of options

In July 2011, each non-executive director is eligible to receive (therefore granted), based on their length of service, options to purchase a total of 300,000 shares at that day’s closing price, $0.17.  Any options issued will vest over a three year service period as follows: 100,000 on June 30, 2012, 100,000 on June 30, 2013 and 100,000 on June 30, 2014.  These options expire two years after vesting.  The Director who serves as Audit Chair during the fiscal year received an additional 50,000 options per year under the same terms.  In June 2014, 1,450,000 options, representing 650,000 share options from the 2012 service period, 400,000 share options from the 2013 service period and 400,000 from the 2014 service period were extended for 5 years.  In accordance with the Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC, the Company analyzed the transaction and determined that there was incremental compensation cost which is included in the Company’s total stock based compensation expense.

Also in July 2011, Board Chairman, who acted in the CEO capacity until April 1, 2015, Timothy L. Ryan was granted 200,000 options per year under the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan with the same terms as above.
