(2)           Stock Options

On January 7, 2010, we allowed four Denver employees (non officers) a one-time opportunity to relinquish 1/3 of their vested options (115,833) for cash of $679,000; the intrinsic value on such date. This transaction was treated as a charge to equity.  On January 7, 2011, we allowed the same four Denver employees (non officers) an opportunity to relinquish their remaining options (234,167) for 181,261 shares of our common stock. The exchange ratio was based on the intrinsic value of their options.  These shares were issued under our Stock Bonus Plan which was created in December 2009.  Under such plan our employees are allowed to relinquish shares to pay for their income taxes; accordingly, 41,645 shares were relinquished resulting in about 140,000 shares being issued.   We now only have 200,000 outstanding stock options held by our CEO.
