During the nine month period ending August 31, 2006, the Company registered an additional 120,000,000 shares of common stock under this plan. During this same nine month period, 100,847,000 options were exercised under this plan at an average price of $0.027 per share for $2,683,616 of consulting and advisory services (of which 500,000 were to a director and 5,765,750 were to related parties). The options were valued at the market price on the date of grant. These options were exercised immediately upon grant, and therefore the Company deemed that no additional value should be assigned to the options. As of August 31, 2006, there were 21,903,000 options available to be issued under the plan. |
