The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock, and up to 10,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value preferred stock.

 

On June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement with an unaffiliated third party included a liability in the amount of $36,000 (Note 9) and 96,000 shares of common stock.  The liability of $36,000 was recorded net of a debt discount of $2,834 which was included in additional paid in capital at June 30, 2011. The common stock is payable in eight quarterly installments of 12,000 shares per installment.  The first installment was delivered effective September 16, 2011.  As the third party has no future performance obligation, the Company valued the 96,000 shares at $33,600 based on the closing price of $0.35 per share on the measurement date.  The amount is recorded in common stock payable as of June 30, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, stock payable was $29,400 due to issuance of 12,000 shares of common stock on September 21, 2011.  The Company considered ASC 718-10-25-20 concluding that June 22, 2011 is the appropriate measurement date as the Company has received the goods, there is no significant disincentive to perform, and there is no future performance/service obligation on the part of the third party.

 

On September 21, 2011, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Company common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to Empire Relations Group, Inc. as consideration under a consulting agreement dated September 16, 2011 for public and financial relations services. The fair value was $30,000 based on the closing stock price of $0.30 per share on the measurement date as the shares are non-refundable and no future performance obligation exists. The issuance of the shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The consultant was an accredited and sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

 

On September 21, 2011, the Company issued 12,000 shares of Company common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to an unaffiliated thirty party as consideration under the Technology Transfer Agreement entered into on June 22, 2011. This is the first of eight identical quarterly installments of shares to be issued. The fair value of $4,200 based on the closing price of $0.35 per share on the measurement date was deducted from common stock payable. The issuance of the shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The shareholder was a sophisticated investor, familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation.

 

On November 29, 2011, the Company issued 125,000 shares of Company common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to Michael Southworth as additional consideration under a consulting agreement dated November 29, 2011 for public and financial relations services.

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 36,000 shares of Company common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to an unaffiliated thirty party as consideration under the Technology Transfer Agreement entered into on June 22, 2011. This is the second, third and fourth of eight identical quarterly installments of shares to be issued. The fair value of $12,600 based on the closing price of $0.35 per share on the measurement date was deducted from common stock payable. The issuance of the shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

On May 29, 2012, the Company issued 1,080,246 shares of Company common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to various employees and contractors for services rendered. The shares were valued based on the closing stock price for the date of the grant dated May 29, 2012. 230,375 of these shares were issued as a conversion of accounts payable; the fair value on the date of grant of May 29, 2012, was compared with the fair value of the amounts payable, noting the difference was zero; therefore, no gain or loss was booked as a result of this conversion. The amounts were properly classified as non-cash reconciling items to net income due to the fact that the accounts payable amounts were expensed during the six-months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Discussion of 2006 Stock Option plan

 

The 2006 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors in March of 2006.  A total of 550,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance to employees, consultants and directors upon exercise of incentive and non-statutory options and stock purchase rights which may be granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”).  On October 15, 2009, 235,000 of those options were exercised, leaving 315,000 shares available for issuance to employees.  Because of the 5.31-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s common stock on October 15, 2009, there are now 1,512,650 shares available for issuance as a part of this stock plan.  As of the period ended September 30, 2012, there were 560,000 options outstanding to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no shares of Common Stock had been issued pursuant to stock purchase rights under the 2006 Plan.

 

Under the 2006 Plan, options may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants.  Only employees may receive “incentive stock options,” which are intended to qualify for certain tax treatment, and consultants and directors may receive “non-statutory stock options,” which do not qualify for such treatment.  A holder of more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares may only be granted options with an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, and if such holder has incentive stock options, the term of the options must not exceed five years.

 

Options and stock purchase rights granted under the 2006 Plan generally vest ratably over a four year period (typically 1⁄4 or 25% of the shares vest after the 1st year and 1/48 of the remaining shares vest each month thereafter); however, alternative vesting schedules may be approved by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.  Any unvested portion of an option or stock purchase right will accelerate and become fully vested if a holder’s service with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause within twelve months following a Change in Control (as defined in the 2006 Plan).

 

All options must be exercised within ten years after the date of grant.  Upon a holder’s termination of service for any reason prior to a Change in Control, the Company may repurchase any shares issued to such holder upon the exercise of options or stock purchase rights.  The Board of Directors may amend the 2006 Plan at any time.  The 2006 Plan will terminate in 2016, unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors.

 

The Company granted 560,000 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2011, the stock options became fully vested and expensed accordingly.  The Company did not grant any stock options for the period ended September 30, 2012.  The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

 

   

December 31,

2010

 
         
Risk-free rate of interest     1.81 %
Dividend yield     0 %
Volatility of common stock     321.74 %
Expected term   5.3125 years  

  

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0, respectively.

 

The Company did not grant any warrants during the period ended September 30, 2012 or the year ended December 31, 2011.
