Financing Option Grants

As a condition to the Financing Agreement with Rosenthal, our Chief Executive Officer, Stan Cipkowski  (“Cipkowski”) was required to execute a Validity Guarantee (the “Validity Guarantee”) that includes representations and warranties with respect to the validity of the Company’s receivables and guarantees the accuracy of the Company’s reporting to Rosenthal related to its receivables and inventory. The Validity Guarantee places Cipkowski’s personal assets at risk in the event of a breach of such representations, warranties and guarantees. As part of the compensation for his execution of the Validity Guarantee, on July 1, 2009, Cipkowski was awarded an option grant representing 500,000 common shares of the Company under its Fiscal 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), at an exercise price of $0.20, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The option grant vests over 3 years in equal installments, and the first 33% of the grant vested on July 1, 2010 and the second 33% vested on July 1, 2011. We will recognize $78,000 in share-based payment expense amortized over the required service period of 3 years. We recognized $20,000 in share-based payment expense for this grant in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. We recognized $6,000 in share-based payment expense for this grant in each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. As of September 30 2011, there was $17,000 in unrecognized expense with 9 months remaining.

As another condition to the Financing Agreement with Rosenthal, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board, Edmund M. Jaskiewicz (“Jaskiewicz”) was required to execute an Agreement of Subordination and Assignment (“Subordination Agreement”) related to $124,000 owed to Jaskiewicz by the Company as of June 29, 2009 (the “Jaskiewicz Debt”). Under the Subordination Agreement, the Jaskiewicz Debt is not payable, is junior in right to the Rosenthal Line of Credit and no payment may be accepted or retained by Jaskiewicz unless and until the Company has paid and satisfied in full any obligations to Rosenthal. Furthermore, the Jaskiewicz Debt was assigned and transferred to Rosenthal as collateral for the Rosenthal Line of Credit.

As compensation for his execution of the Subordination Agreement, on July 1, 2009 Jaskiewicz was awarded an option grant representing 50,000 common shares of the Company under its 2001 Plan at an exercise price of $0.20, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The option grant was immediately exercisable. We recognized $8,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 in share-based payment expense related to the grant of Jaskiewicz’s options upon issuance of the grant.

On July 1, 2010 (the first anniversary of the original stock option grant date of July 1, 2009), Jaskiewicz was awarded a second option grant representing 50,000 common shares of the Company under the Company’s 2001 Plan, at an exercise price of $0.07, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The option grant was immediately exercisable. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $3,000 in share-based payment expense for this grant.

Furthermore, on the second anniversary of the original stock option grant, or July 1, 2011, Jaskiewicz was awarded an additional option grant representing 50,000 common shares of the Company under the Company’s 2001 Plan, at an exercise price of $0.12, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The option grant was immediately exercisable, and we recognized the full share-based payment expense of $6,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Employee Grant

On December 31, 2010, we issued options to purchase 275,000 shares of common stock under the 2001 Plan to 4 members of senior management and 8 other employees of the Company at an exercise price of $0.09 (the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant). These option grants vest 100% on the one-year anniversary of the date of the grant.  We will recognize $25,000 in share-based payment expense over the required service period of one year. We recognized $20,000 of this expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and $6,000 of this expense in the three months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, there was $6,000 in unrecognized expenses with three months remaining.
