The Company has approved stock options plans covering up to an aggregate of 8,608,833 shares of common stock.  Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options.  Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants.  Such awards include options, warrants and stock grants.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The following assumptions were used for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

	2011	2010
Risk-free interest rate	2.13% - 2.46%	2.39% - 2.93%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%
Expected stock price volatility	75%	75%
Expected life of options	5.75 years	5.75 years

The Company recorded expense for options issued to employees and independent service providers of $21,686 and $17,905 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $38,014 and $58,916 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A summary of all stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011 follows:

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $.06 ($.10 during the six months ended June 30, 2010).  No options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
