Share-based Compensation Arrangement by Share-based Payment Award, Description	In addition to its first stock option plan approved in 1993, the Company has a stock option plan approved in May 2004, amended in June 2008 and again in August 2009 (the “2004 Plan”), for directors and key employees under which 2,500,000 shares of common stock may be issued. The Company also has a stock option plan approved in July 2010 (the “2010 Plan”), for directors and key employees under which 5,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued. Unless otherwise stated in the stock option agreement, options are 20% vested on the date of grant, with the balance vesting 20% per year over the next four years, except for directors whose options vest six months from the date of grant. Options were granted in 2013 and 2014 from both the 2004 and 2010 Plans at the approximate market value of the stock at date of grant, as defined in each of the plans.
