The Company has two equity incentive compensation plans: a 2004 Stock Option Plan and a 2006 Stock Incentive Plan.
2004 Stock Option Plan The 2004 Stock Option Plan authorized the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NQOs) to the Companys officers, directors or key employees or to consultants that do business with the Company for up to an aggregate of 357,143 shares of common stock. On September 7, 2006, the Company terminated the 2004 Stock Option Plan, except to the extent of issued and outstanding options then existing under the plan. The Company had 11,429 stock options outstanding under its 2004 Stock Option Plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
2006 Stock Incentive Plan The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of ISOs, NQOs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, direct stock issuances and other stock-based awards to the Companys officers, directors or key employees or to consultants that do business with the Company for up to an aggregate of 6,214,285 shares of common stock.
Stock Options On August 1, 2011 and August 25, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 193,000 and 16,000 shares of the Companys common stock at exercise prices of $0.86 and $0.35 per share, which were the respective closing prices per share of the Companys common stock on the dates of grant, with estimated fair values of $0.44 and $0.18, respectively. The options vested as to 33% on April 2, 2012 and vest as to 33% on each of April 1, 2013 and April 1, 2014. The options expire in 10 years from the date of grant. Fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. For the August 1, 2011 grants, the inputs to estimating fair value were: exercise price of $0.86; estimated life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 56.7%; and risk free interest rate of 2.50%. For the August 25, 2011 grants, the inputs to estimating fair value were: exercise price of $0.35; estimated life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 56.7% and risk free interest rate of 2.50%. The Company estimates expected volatility using peer companies within its industry.
