STOCK OPTION PLANS

NOTE 5 STOCK OPTION PLANS


On August 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan became effective upon its adoption by the Board and continued in effect for ten years, terminating on August 25, 2015.  This plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company at their annual meeting of shareholders on November 22, 2005. Under the Plan, the exercise price for all options issued will not be less than the average quoted closing market price of the Company’s trading common stock for the thirty-day period immediately preceding the grant date plus a premium of ten percent. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the plan is 2,500,000 shares.  The Company continues to utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for calculating the fair value of the options granted as defined by ASC Topic 718, which is an acceptable valuation approach under ASC 718. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock.


On August 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 2,185,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Of the total issued, 1,960,000 options were issued to replace options held by directors and employees, which were to expire, and 225,000 options were issued to new employees.  Of the options issued, 640,000 have an option price of $0.14 per share, 500,000 have an option price of $0.15 per share, 995,000 have an option price of $0.20 per share, and 50,000 have an option price of $0.25 per share.  Options issued as replacement options for shares surrendered shall have immediate vesting terms. Options which are not replacements vested over a two year four month period in equal installments on the last day of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.  


Projected data related to the expected volatility and expected life of stock options is based upon historical and other information, and notably, the Company's common stock has limited trading history. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore, the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.


Between August 25, 2005 and August 25, 2019, the Company granted options to employees to purchase an aggregate 3,096,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $2.07 per share.  The options all vested by December 31, 2017 and expire 10 years from the date of grant.  


As of the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2019, the Company recognized a total of $2,443,768 of stock-based compensation expense, which includes charges of $0 in 2019 and $9 in 2018, leaving $0 in unrecognized expense as of December 31, 2019. There were 2,185,000 and 2,185,000 employee stock options outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
