Stock Options, Warrants and 401(k) Savings Plan

12. Stock Options, Warrants and 401(k) Savings Plan

The Company follows FASB ASC 718, Share Based Payment, which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values.

The 1999 Stock Option Plan provided for the granting of up to 2,000,000 incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to the Company. In the case of options designated as incentive stock options, the exercise price of the options granted must be not less than the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options may be granted at any amount established by the Stock Option Committee or, in the case of Discounted Options issued to non-employee directors in lieu of any portion of an Annual Retainer, in accordance with a formula designated in the Plan. The 1999 Stock Option Plan terminated in February 2009 and no further stock options can be granted under the plan; however, options granted before the termination date may be exercised through their expiration date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award. There was no compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and there was no unrecognized portion of expense at December 31, 2014.
