Blue Dolphin’s Board established a 2000 Stock Incentive Plan that was subsequently approved by Blue Dolphin’s stockholders on May 18, 2000.  As a result of Blue Dolphin’s reverse merger with LE, all employees of Blue Dolphin became employees of LEH effective February 15, 2012.  Therefore, all options outstanding for Blue Dolphin employees were cancelled 90 days following the effective date of the reverse merger.  At September 30, 2014, there were no options outstanding, no options exercisable or no shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
