SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
NOTE 11 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
 
In 2006, the directors adopted, and the stockholders approved, the 2006 long-term incentive plan (“Plan”) covering 1,000,000 shares of common stock.  On August 4, 2010, the Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares.  The Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based incentives to employees, including officers, and consultants.  The Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two Directors each of whom is to be an independent director.  In the absence of a committee, the Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  Independent directors are not eligible for discretionary options.

On April 19, 2011, the Company granted stock options to its CEO and CFO to purchase 250,000 and 100,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $1.96 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.  The options will vest in equal amounts over three years on the anniversary of the grant date. 

Also, on April 19, 2011, the Company granted stock options to certain employees to purchase 227,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.96 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant.  The options will vest in equal amounts over three years on the anniversary of the grant date. 

Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the closing stock prices at the grant date and the weighted average assumptions specific to the underlying options.  Expected volatility assumptions are based on the historical volatility of our common stock.  The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of five year U.S. Treasury issues.  The expected life of the option was estimated at one half of the contractual term of the option and the vesting period.  The assumptions utilized for option grants during the period ranged from 79% for volatility and a risk free interest rate of 2.09%.  At June 30, 2011 there were 173,841 shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan.  The fair value of stock options granted during the quarter had an estimated fair value of $1.77 per option.
