4. Stock Option Plans

At December 31, 2011, the Company maintains two stock-based employee compensation plans.

During 1995, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan covering 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In July 2005, the Company issued an option to its president to acquire 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.15 per share under the Company’s stock option plan. The option expires in July 2015 and was fully vested when issued.

In December 2005, the Company issued options to its directors to acquire 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.15 per share. The options expire in December 2015 and were fully vested when issued.

During 2005, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan covering 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In September 2005, the Company issued an option to its president to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.20 per share under the Company’s 2005 stock option plan, subject to the approval of the Plan by shareholders. The Plan was approved at the shareholders meeting on December 9, 2005. The option expires in December 2015 and was fully vested when issued. In connection with a separation agreement in September 2012, the president agreed that these options for 250,000 shares and the options for 50,000 shares that were issued in July 2005 would expire within 90 days of the termination date, which was February 28, 2013. The options were not exercised and have expired.

The Company did not issue any stock options or share-based payments in 2011 or in 2010.
