COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Process for Determining Compensation

It is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee of our Board to set compensation for executive officers and directors, to establish and administer an overall compensation program that promotes the long-term interests of the Company and our stockholders, and to evaluate performance of executive officers.

The Compensation Committee uses information supplied by various sources, which can include information provided by Company management and outside compensation consultants, to assist it in determining compensation for our executive officers. Management’s role is primarily to provide information relevant to performance measurement of the Company and our executives. At the request of the Compensation Committee, our Chief Executive Officer provides informal evaluations of the performance of the named executive officers that report directly to him and may make recommendations as to base compensation and performance awards for these individuals. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer works with the Compensation Committee in determining appropriate criteria for evaluating individual and Company performance. Due to the small size of our company, the Compensation Committee is able to make or specifically approve virtually all decisions regarding executive compensation and, therefore, the delegation of the committee’s authority in this regard is very limited. From 2004 to 2008, the Compensation Committee engaged the compensation consulting firm of Towers Watson, from time-to-time to provide various analyses related to our stock plan and compensation levels. Towers Watson was selected by the Compensation Committee, its terms of engagement were determined by the Compensation Committee, and it reported directly to the Compensation Committee. Towers Watson performed no other work for us and had no other outside relationship to the Company’s directors or officers. The Compensation Committee reviewed the relationship between itself and Towers Watson for potential conflicts of interest, giving consideration to the factors identified in SEC Rule 10C-1(b)(4) as possibly contributing to conflicts of interest. Based on its review, the Compensation Committee determined there were no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest in the engagement of Towers Watson as a compensation consultant.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

In setting overall total compensation for executive officers, the Compensation Committee strives to achieve and balance the following objectives:

hiring and retaining executive officers with the background and skills to help us achieve our company’s objectives; including maintenance of key relationships with our Chinese partners and financial concerns;

aligning the goals of executive officers with those of the stockholders and the Company;

motivating executive officers to achieve the Company’s important short, medium and long-term goals;

conserving cash by setting compensation levels consistent with market conditions and taking into consideration the Company’s financial condition; and

providing sufficient ongoing cash compensation to retain executives in a competitive marketplace.

The philosophy we use in setting compensation levels and structures is based on the following principles:

compensation for our executive officers should be strongly linked to strategic and operational performance;

compensation should consist of an increasingly higher percentage of compensation that is at risk and subject to performance-based awards as an executive officer’s range of responsibility and ability to influence the Company’s results increases;

compensation should be fair and competitive in relation to the marketplace and our financial condition;

employment retention incentives should be used to equalize our employment opportunities with those of more mature companies, to the extent appropriate;

sense of ownership and long-term perspective should be reaffirmed through our compensation structure; and

outstanding achievement should be recognized.

Setting Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the base salaries, bonuses and equity awards of our executive officers. During 2012, our executive officers consisted of:

Name		Position
Michael R. McElwrath		President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
Bruce N. Huff⁽¹⁾		Chief Financial Officer

(1)

On February 18, 2013, Mr. Huff went on a leave of absence for health reasons. During his medical leave of absence, Jennifer D. Whitley, Director of Finance of the Company, has been serving as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer.

We use a combination of compensation elements in our executive compensation program, including:

salaries;

cash retention bonuses;

cash incentive bonuses;

equity awards;

post-termination compensation; and

benefits.

Salaries and bonuses are our primary forms of cash compensation. We try to provide a reasonable amount of cash compensation to our employees to retain their executive talent in a competitive marketplace. We provide short-term incentives by awarding annual cash bonuses determined by the Compensation Committee on a discretionary basis. The bonuses reward achievement of short-term goals and allow us to recognize individual and team achievements. The cash portion of our compensation structure consists of a higher percentage of salary as compared to bonus. Cash incentive bonuses and equity awards are our two forms of performance-based compensation.

We provide long-term incentives through equity awards, which have consisted of stock options and grant awards of restricted stock that vest over time. Equity awards are a non-cash form of compensation. We believe equity awards are an effective way for us to reward achievement of long-term goals, conserve cash resources and create a sense of ownership in our executives. Options become valuable only as long-term goals are achieved and our stock price rises. They provide our executive officers with a personal stake in the performance of the Company’s equity even before vesting. Similarly, restricted stock awards that vest over time reward increases in our stock price while also providing a retention incentive to foster a sense of ownership even in a negative stock market environment. In most years, a large percentage of the total compensation paid to our executive officers consists of equity awards because we believe this is consistent with our philosophy of paying for performance and requiring more compensation to be at risk for employees at the highest level.

Our executive officers have also entered into employment agreements that have defined termination benefits, which we believe, in part, compensate for the potentially lower annual salary at our company as compared to more mature companies by providing security. Our employment agreements as well as our equity awards generally provide compensation to our executive officers if they are terminated within 24 months of a change in control of the Company, which helps encourage our executives to devote a maximum amount of their time and energies to the Company through a change of control and beyond, while compensating them for the reduction in job security during a period of transition. The competitive compensation and the employment agreements foster an environment of relative security within which we believe our executives will be able to focus on achieving Company goals. For further discussion of the employment agreements with our executive officers, see “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table – Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers.”

Total Compensation and Description and Allocation of Its Components

Total Compensation. The Compensation Committee reviews total compensation for executive officers annually when they evaluate existing salaries and determine annual cash bonuses.

The Compensation Committee blends the components of compensation to achieve a total compensation package that is weighted toward the equity component. This is consistent with our objective of emphasizing equity awards and conserving cash.

Generally, equity awards for executive officers have historically constituted a larger percentage of total compensation. During 2012, the Company granted restricted stock to executive officers. For further information, see “2012 Summary Compensation Table,” “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2012” and “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.”

Decisions regarding salary increases, bonus awards and equity awards are ultimately at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, in making these decisions, the committee considers the achievements of the Company in the previous fiscal year, such as the successful capital raises to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing activities, the establishment of reserves, the maintenance of critical relationships with our Chinese partners and financial institutions, the obstacles overcome in our exploration efforts, the successful negotiation of critical commercial documents such as PSC modification agreements and gas sales agreements, the progress toward commercial gas production and revenues, and reasonable management of expenditures.

In addition to the Company’s achievements, the Compensation Committee reviews the accomplishments and performance of the individual executive officers. For 2012, in reviewing the Company and individual performance and as part of the determination of compensation, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the Company and individual performance factors described below.

During its review of the 2012 performance criteria, the Compensation Committee gave approximately twenty percent of the weight of its evaluation of each executive officer based on the Company performance factors. The remainder of the evaluation of each executive officer was based on individual performance factors and other considerations. These performance factors were also discussed with the applicable executive officers. The performance factors had a significant impact on the Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding discretionary adjustments to the cash incentive bonuses for 2012, although they were not given any numerical weight in determining the amount of such bonuses. The committee also considered the 2012 performance factors in determining salary increases for 2013.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee plans to continue to implement guidelines under which performance at the executive level can be measured with simplicity and transparency and performance awards can be granted in relation to those performance measures. For an early stage company, appropriate, reliable performance measures can be difficult to identify. However, the Compensation Committee will seek to identify measurements that are appropriate to an early stage company and which will relate to the achievement of Company goals, particularly in the areas of safety, provision of capital, drilling and production and appropriate management of our cash resources. For 2013, the Compensation Committee intends to set performance measures based on both Company and individual performance factors and to adopt target bonuses based on a percentage of the executive’s base salary. The committee expects that the maximum bonus that an executive may earn will be set at a specified percentage of the executive’s base salary. The executive’s ability to earn that maximum bonus or percentage of salary is largely dependent upon achievement of individual performance factors for the year. The committee believes these performance factors will be a very strong factor in making bonus decisions and may influence salary adjustments and equity awards. However, the Compensation Committee plans to continue to use its discretion in making these compensation decisions.

Salaries. The Compensation Committee reviews salaries for our executive officers annually near the beginning of the year and, in most years, adjustments to salaries, if any, have been made effective as of January 1 of that year. Initial base salaries are set forth in the executive’s employment agreement. The level of salary is determined by market factors when the executive officer is hired and are adjusted as necessary during the annual review of salary. Infrequently, specific circumstances may prompt a salary change outside the usual review schedule. The Compensation Committee evaluates adjustments to salary based, in part, on the Company and individual performance criteria. If an executive has changed or increased his level of responsibility within the Company, the Compensation Committee also considers a commensurate change in salary.

In January 2012, the Compensation Committee approved salary increases of 5% for Michael R. McElwrath and Bruce N. Huff. These salary increases were made to maintain market competiveness, without targeting any specific percentile, and to adjust for increases in cost of living and this percentage increase was at or below the percentage increases for employees at the Company generally.

Bonuses. The Compensation Committee awards cash incentive bonuses each year, typically early in the first quarter, for performance during the previous fiscal year. For 2012, the Compensation Committee set performance measures based on both Company and individual performance factors and adopted target incentive bonuses based on a percentage of the executive’s base salary. In the case of Mr. McElwrath the target incentive bonus was set at 65% of his base salary for the applicable year; and for Mr. Huff the target incentive bonus was set at 45% of base salary for the applicable year. The executive’s ability to earn that maximum bonus or percentage of salary was largely dependent upon achievement of individual and company performance factors. These standards were established for Mr. McElwrath and for Mr. Huff in the first quarter of 2012. These performance measures were a very strong factor in making the bonus decisions and influenced equity awards. However, the Compensation Committee continues to use its discretion in making these compensation decisions.

In January 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a $189,600 cash bonus for Michael R. McElwrath and a $75,000 cash bonus for Bruce N. Huff. On March 13, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a second tranche of the annual bonus for Mr. McElwrath in the amount of $81,255 based on the subjective performance factors for 2012 of maintaining and expanding strong relations at the senior levels of the relevant Chinese organizations and taking the necessary steps making progress towards an overall development plan for the Shouyang Block. The bonus approved for Mr. McElwrath and Mr. Huff equal to 65% and 26%, respectively, of their stated 2012 base salary after considering the following performance factors:

The Compensation Committee used similar methodology to determine the cash incentive bonuses for the other senior managers of the Company.

Equity Awards. Equity awards are an important component in our compensation structure, particularly because we are an early stage company and it is important for us to conserve cash resources. Equity awards may be granted at a date other than the date that salary and bonus decisions are made but are typically granted during the first quarter of the year. Beginning in 2007, the Compensation Committee began to use grants of restricted stock in addition to awards of non-qualified stock options in its equity award component of compensation and has continued the process of utilizing both equity vehicles in its annual equity awards.

Choice of equity vehicles. We use grants of options to purchase our common stock for the equity awards granted to our executive officers. Stock options effectively align our executives’ goals with those of stockholders and motivate executive officers to achieve our long-term goals. Our option agreements typically include both time-vesting and termination forfeiture terms, which assist us in inducing the employment and retention of executive officers by providing a financial incentive related to retention. The Compensation Committee plans to continue to utilize options awards.

In addition, the Compensation Committee also utilizes restricted stock for equity awards. The committee considered that the use of this form of equity in some cases, rather than options, would reduce dilution to our existing stockholders, provide equity participation in our Company to these executives and reduce the overall number of shares granted. The Compensation Committee believes that decreasing the dilutive effect related to our equity awards will assist in preserving the economic value of our existing stockholders. The committee also believes that shares of time-vesting restricted stock will encourage achievement of long-term goals and retention of key executives in a similar manner as option awards while also providing a retention incentive to foster a sense of ownership even in a negative stock market environment. The Compensation Committee plans to continue to grant options and/or restricted stock in the future to our executive officers.

Determining the size of the equity award. We use equity awards as both a reward for past performance and an incentive for future performance. The Compensation Committee has historically approved discretionary equity award grants to executive officers during the first quarter of the year.

Each of our executive officers received a grant of equity awards upon joining the Company, providing them with an initial equity stake and a long-term incentive. The size of these initial grants is determined primarily by market factors, with such grants offered as an inducement to accept our offer of employment. Although it has typically granted additional awards annually, the Compensation Committee is not bound to make continuing equity awards to executive officers, and in fact, does not do so in every case. Factors considered by the committee in determining whether an executive receives an award of options and/or restricted stock and the size and vesting schedule of that award include the following:

the performance indicators and the events and accomplishments used to determine total compensation, as described above;

the cumulative number of shares and terms (including option exercise price) of previous equity awards, which may, in the view of the Compensation Committee, be sufficient to achieve the goals of the equity award program for a given individual, without supplement in a particular year;

the estimated fair value of the award (using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options) and its impact on the executive’s total compensation;

the estimated impact of the expense of the award on reported income in the year of the award and subsequent years;

the stockholder dilution, including overhang of existing options and warrants for our common stock;

the shares remaining available for grants under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”); and

the tax consequences related to the vesting of the equity awards.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan awards. Since its approval by our stockholders in 2005, with certain exceptions described below, we have granted options and restricted shares to executive officers under the 2005 Plan. Our grants to executive officers under the 2005 Plan have historically had a vesting period of three to four years from date of grant and a term of up to ten years. Typically, our option awards provide for forfeiture of unexercised options after a period of 60 to 90 days after the applicable executive’s termination of employment with the Company.

Awards granted outside the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Prior to the adoption of the 2005 Plan, grants of options to executives included varying terms, some differing from the above. Since the adoption of the 2005 Plan, we generally have not granted any awards outside the 2005 Plan except for inducement equity awards. These awards contained terms similar to those made under the 2005 Plan. The Compensation Committee may continue to grant options and/or restricted stock outside of the 2005 Plan, particularly for inducement grants to newly appointed executive officers and directors.

Expense recognition. All compensatory options and restricted stock are expensed over time in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For information on the equity award expense recognized in 2012 for each executive officer, see “Summary Compensation Table - Option Awards” and “Summary Compensation Table - Restricted Stock Awards.” For further details regarding 2012 equity grants to our named executive officers, see the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table. For further information on the 2005 Plan, see “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table - 2005 Stock Incentive Plan” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters – Equity Compensation Plan Information.”

Procedures for granting equity awards. We have generally granted equity awards to our executive officers annually during the first quarter of each fiscal year or at employment. Since the adoption of the 2005 Plan, options are dated and assigned exercise prices as of a trading date following the meeting of the Compensation Committee in which such awards were approved. Exercise prices for option grants during 2012 have been set at the fair market value on the date of grant or higher. For purposes of determining exercise prices for our stock option awards, the fair market value of our common stock, on a given date, means the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the shares of common stock as reported that day on the OTC Bulletin Board. We intend to continue this practice. We attempt to avoid issuing options near the time of any expected significant movement in our stock price by taking care, within reason, not to schedule these meetings in proximity to upcoming or recent announcements of significance, such as earnings releases or other public announcements relating to current or future profitability. Scheduling of meetings of the Compensation Committee is also impacted by availability of personnel and the need to make timely hiring decisions and cannot be perfectly aligned with regard to public announcements. Under the 2005 Plan, the Chief Executive Officer, as long as he is a member of the Board, has the authority to grant equity awards of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock in each calendar year to employees that are not subject to the rules promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The exercise prices for such grants made by the Chief Executive Officer are to be based on the date the award agreement is signed, which is as soon as possible after the decision to make the award is settled. In practice, all awards have usually been approved by the Compensation Committee.

Awards have also been granted to new executive officers and incumbent directors on or near the date of hire or election. Our current practice is to grant, date and price options to new executives on the date of hire, which is not the date of their acceptance of our offer of employment, but rather, the first day they report for work at the Company. Similar to option awards, our current practice is to grant and date restricted stock awards on the first day the executive reports for work at the Company. Grants to newly elected directors are generally awarded at the first meeting of the Compensation Committee after their election.

Post Termination Compensation. We have employment agreements with all of our named executive officers. All of our executive employment contracts provide some form of termination benefits. As an early stage company whose future may be uncertain, we believe it is necessary to provide contractual assurance of continued employment to our executives, and that without such assurances, our recruitment efforts would not be as successful.

Our executive employment agreements provide for termination benefits, including in certain cases upon a change in control. These clauses assist us in attracting and retaining executive officers and are designed to provide stable leadership for the Company during any potential or actual change of control. With the assurance of these benefits, we believe our executives will be better able to objectively evaluate offers to purchase the Company or other forms of potential change of control. The clauses also encourage continuation of the leadership and experience of our key executives after a change in control, at least through a period of transition.

For further discussion of the terms of each employment agreement, see “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table – Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers.”

Perquisites and Other Benefits. We provide health insurance to our executive officers, which is the same as that provided to our other U.S. employees. We also provide matching contributions for those U.S. employees who contribute to a 401(k) savings plan, matching up to 4% of annual salary, subject to certain caps provided by tax regulation. These benefits were approved by the Compensation Committee when adopted. .

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any executive officer unless such compensation is paid pursuant to a qualified performance-based compensation plan. All compensation awarded to our executive officers in 2012 is expected to be tax deductible. The Compensation Committee considers such deductibility and the potential cost to the Company when granting awards and considering salary changes.

We account for equity awards under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“FAS No. 123(R)”). We charge the estimated fair value of option and restricted stock awards to income over the time of service provided by the employee to earn the award, typically the vesting period. The fair value of options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured by the closing price of our common stock on the date of the award, with no discount for vesting period or other restrictions. The compensation expense to the Company under FAS No. 123(R) is one of the factors the Compensation Committee considers in determining equity awards to be granted, and also may influence the vesting period chosen.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

With respect to the 2012 total compensation of Mr. McElwrath and Mr. Huff, approximately 75% and 72%, respectively, of total compensation was attributable to the elements of salary and annual cash bonus and approximately 22% and 24%, respectively, of total compensation, as attributable to non-cash equity elements. The allocation between cash and non-cash compensation for our executive officers was within the range of allocations that the Compensation Committee considers appropriate.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers

We have employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers and those agreements are summarized below.

Agreement with Michael R. McElwrath. The Company has an employment agreement with Mr. McElwrath, which has been amended from time to time. Prior to December 7, 2010, Mr. McElwrath’s employment agreement entitled him to fixed, retention bonuses of not less than $20,000 every six months. On December 7, 2010, his employment agreement was amended and restated to extend the term to October 13, 2013 and to eliminate the fixed, retention bonuses. On October 10, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement”) with Mr. McElwrath. The McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $396,900 on or after February 16, 2011. The McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. McElwrath will be eligible to receive performance bonuses payable between January 1 and the 13^th of April of each year in an amount to be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. During 2011, Mr. McElwrath’s annual base salary was increased to $396,900 from $330,750. During 2012, Mr. McElwrath’s annual base salary was increased to $416,700 from $396,900, and said increase was effective January 1, 2012. On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement to extend the term of the agreement to October 2016.

Unless further extended, the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement terminates on October 13, 2016. The McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement provides that if Mr. McElwrath is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Company will pay his base salary and all amounts actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination and he will be entitled to exercise all options granted to him under the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or otherwise to the extent vested and exercisable on the date of termination unless otherwise provided for in Mr. McElwrath’s option agreements.

If Mr. McElwrath’s employment is terminated by the Company (other than as a result of death, Disability or Cause), or if he terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement), he shall be entitled to the following:

a lump sum payment of (i) two times the sum of his base salary and bonus paid during the immediately preceding twelve-month period or (ii) 2.99 times the sum of his base salary and bonus paid during the immediately preceding twelve-month period, in the event the termination was in connection with a Change of Control;

all amount actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination;

continued participation in the medical and dental insurance plans available to the Company’s executive officers in which the executive was participating on the date of termination for a specified period of time following termination;

the exercise of all options and restricted stock awards granted to him to the extent vested and exercisable at the date of termination of his employment provided that, in the event the termination is in connection with a Change of Control, all options then granted would be immediately and fully vested and exercisable as of the date of the termination and all restrictions on restricted stock awards awarded would be removed and all rights to such stock vested as of the date of termination; and

certain gross-up payments for any excise taxes.

For purpose of the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, a change of Control is defined as: (a) subject to certain exceptions, the acquisition by a person of beneficial ownership of more than 40% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (b) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation unless following such transaction 60% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the same persons who were the beneficial owners of such securities immediately prior to such transaction, (c) the (1) approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (2) sale or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless the successor entity existing immediately after such sale or disposition is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such sale or disposition; (d) subject to certain exceptions, if individuals who, as of October 10, 2011 constitute the Board of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or (e) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes hereof, a Change of Control has occurred.

Pursuant to the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, during the term of Mr. McElwrath’s employment, the Company agreed to nominate Mr. McElwrath for election to the Board of Directors at each annual meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors. Mr. McElwrath is entitled to terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement) if he is not nominated and elected as a director of the Company or is removed as a director by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company (other than for Cause, death or Disability).

If Mr. McElwrath’s employment is terminated as a result of death or Disability, the Company will pay his base salary and all amounts actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination, and, for a period of three years following the date of termination he or his estate will be entitled to exercise all options granted to him regardless of whether or not the option is vested and exercisable on the date of termination and all restrictions on restricted stock awards awarded will be removed and all rights to such stock vested as of the date of termination.

The McElwrath Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement contains no covenant not-to-compete or similar restrictions after termination.

Agreement with Bruce N. Huff. On April 19, 2010, the Company appointed Bruce N. Huff as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and on June 9, 2010, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (the “Huff Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Huff. On June 9, 2010, the Company amended the Huff Employment Agreement to, among other things, ensure compliance with the applicable provisions of the tax code relating to deferred compensation (the “Huff First Amendment”). Mr. Huff’s annual base salary for 2012 was increased to $283,500 from $270,000.

Unless further extended, the Huff Employment Agreement terminates on January 27, 2016. The Huff Employment Agreement provides that if Mr. Huff is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Huff Employment Agreement), the Company will pay his base salary and all amounts actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination and he will be entitled for a period of three months after termination to exercise all options granted to him under his employment agreement or otherwise to the extent vested and exercisable on the date of termination. The Huff Employment Agreement further provides that if Mr. Huff voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company, the Company will pay his base salary and all amounts actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination and he will be entitled for a period of one year after termination to exercise all options granted to him under his employment agreement or otherwise to the extent vested and exercisable on the date of termination.

If Mr. Huff’s employment is terminated by the Company (other than as a result of death, Disability (as defined in the Huff Employment Agreement) or Cause), or if he terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Huff Employment Agreement), he shall be entitled to the following:

a lump sum payment of (i) his base salary paid during the immediately preceding twelve-month period or (ii) two times the sum of his base salary paid during the immediately preceding twelve-month period in the event the termination occurs within 24 months after a Change of Control;

all amounts actually earned accrued or owing as of the date of termination; and

the right to exercise, for a period of twelve months following the termination of Mr. Huff’s employment, all options granted to him to the extent vested and exercisable at the date of termination of Employee’s employment subject to certain restrictions contained in the Huff Employment Agreement.

For purpose of the Huff Employment Agreement, a Change of Control is defined as: (a) subject to certain exceptions, the acquisition by a person of beneficial ownership of more than 40% of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (b) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation unless following such transaction 60% or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the same persons who were the beneficial owners of such securities immediately prior to such transaction, (c) the (1) approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (2) sale or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless the successor entity existing immediately after such sale or disposition is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such sale or disposition; (d) subject to certain exceptions, if individuals who, as of April 19, 2010 constitute the Board of the Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or (e) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes hereof, a Change of Control has occurred.

If Mr. Huff’s employment is terminated as a result of death or Disability, the Company will pay his base salary and all amounts actually earned, accrued or owing as of the date of termination and, within one year following the termination, he or his estate will be entitled to exercise all options granted to him to the extent the option is vested and exercisable and all such options not exercised within such one year period shall be forfeited.

The Huff Employment Agreement contains no covenant not-to-compete or similar restrictions after termination.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2005 Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Under the current version of the 2005 Plan, the Company may grant awards with respect to 22,000,000 shares, of which 8,000,000 shares may be granted as restricted stock, restricted stock units or any other stock-based awards. Unless sooner terminated by the Board or the Compensation Committee, the 2005 Plan will terminate on May 27, 2015.

The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to (1) aid the Company in attracting, securing and retaining employees of outstanding ability, (2) attract members to the Board, (3) attract consultants to provide services to the Company, as needed, and (4) motivate such persons to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company.

The 2005 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The 2005 Plan provides that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as long as he is a member of the Board, has the authority to grant equity awards of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock in each calendar year to participants who are not subject to the rules promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The total number of shares of common stock that will be available for grants of ISOs is 2,600,000 shares and the total number of shares of common stock that will be available for grants of unrestricted shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or any other stock-based awards is 8,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards of any and all types may be granted during a calendar year to any participant is limited, in the aggregate, to 1,500,000 shares. The 2005 Plan also provides that the maximum amount of a performance-based award to any Covered Employee (as defined in the 2005 Plan) for any fiscal year of the Company will be $1,000,000. Shares which are subject to awards which terminate, expire, are cancelled, exchanged, forfeited, lapse or are settled for cash may be utilized again with respect to awards granted under the Plan.

With respect to any options that are awarded, the exercise price pursuant to which common stock may be purchased will be determined by the Compensation Committee, but will not be less than the fair market value (as defined in the 2005 Plan) of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Under the 2005 Plan, fair market value, on a given day, is defined as the mean of the closing bid and asked prices of the common shares as reported that day on the OTC Bulletin Board. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. The 2005 Plan also grants the Compensation Committee discretion to accelerate vesting or extend the time available for exercise of options after termination of an executive so long as termination is not for cause (as determined by the Compensation Committee).

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

The following table sets forth the number of unexercised options segregated by those that were exercisable and those that were unexercisable as of December 31, 2012, and the number of vested and unvested shares of restricted stock.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

For a description of the potential payments to our Named Executive Officers upon termination or a change in control, see “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table — Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers” above. For further discussion of the determination of termination benefits, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Total Compensation and Description and Allocation of Its Components — Post-Termination Compensation.”

Quantification of termination benefits. The following table quantifies the termination benefits due to our Named Executive Officers in the event of their termination for various reasons, including any termination occurring within 24 months following a change of control. The amounts were computed as if each executive officer’s employment terminated on December 31, 2012.

Equity awards are quantified at the intrinsic value on December 31, 2012 of all options and restricted stock that was not fully vested and exercisable, but would become exercisable, under the terms of the Named Executive Officer’s employment agreement, due to the form of termination specified in the column heading. The intrinsic value of options is determined by calculating the difference between the closing market price of our common stock on December 31, 2012, which was $0.05 per share, and the exercise price of the option, and multiplying that difference by the number of options exercisable at that given exercise price. The intrinsic values of all the options are then totaled. The intrinsic value of restricted stock is equal to the number of shares times the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2012.

(2)

Benefits quantified include the incremental cost to the Company of continuing health care benefits (based on December 2012 premium rates) and the cost of the Company’s matching contributions.

(3)

Tax gross-up refers to reimbursement for any excise tax (and taxes on the imputed income attributable to the reimbursement for the excise tax and tax gross-up) the Named Executive Officer is required to pay under Section 4999 of the Code for excess parachute payments. This amount reflects the estimated gross-up payments that would be due to Mr. McElwrath as if he had been terminated on December 31, 2012.

Directors’ Compensation

The following table summarizes compensation paid to non-employee directors for 2012. Mr. McElwrath is the only employee serving as a director and he does not receive any additional compensation for his service on the Board.

Stock Awards are quantified in the table according to the amount included in 2012 share-based compensation expense for the awards granted to each named director through the end of fiscal year 2012. The Company did not award any options to its directors during 2012. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which is included in Part II of this report for assumptions used in valuing these awards and the methodology for recognizing the related expense. The expense has been modified in accordance with SEC rules to eliminate forfeiture assumptions in computing the expense for the year. There were no actual forfeitures during 2012 by any of the named directors. Any options would have been for the purchase of our common stock. All stock awards are grants of restricted stock representing time-vesting shares of our common stock.

The table below provides information regarding the outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards for each of our directors as of December 31, 2012.

2012 Outstanding Equity Awards for Directors

The Company pays its non-employee directors cash compensation for their service on the Board. In January 2007, the Board approved a standard compensation arrangement for directors, effective January 1, 2007. On April 15, 2009, the Compensation Committee amended the standard compensation arrangement to increase the fees for Board and committee telephone meetings from $500 each to $1,500 and $1,000, respectively. The current standard compensation arrangement, as amended, is set forth below.

Schedule of Directors' Fees

Annual cash retainer	$	15,000	annually
Board meetings in person		1,500	for each meeting
Board meetings by telephone		1,500	for each meeting
Committee meetings in person		1,000	for each meeting
Committee meetings by telephone		1,000	for each meeting
Committee Chairman retainer		5,500	annually
Audit Committee Chairman retainer		12,000	annually
Board Chairman retainer		12,000	annually

The Company also reimburses directors for the reasonable expenses they incur to attend Board, Board committee and/or investor relations meetings. In addition, in 2008, the Board approved a policy providing for an annual grant of options to each non-employee director to purchase a target level of 40,000 shares of common stock, which have an exercise price equal to fair market value on date of grant, a term of ten years and will vest in their entirety on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The actual number of options granted from year to year may be adjusted upwards or downwards based on the business judgment of the Board. The fair market value, on a given date, is the mean of the closing bid and asked prices of the common shares as reported that day on the OTC Bulletin Board. These grants are expected to be made during the first quarter each fiscal year. The Company did not grant any options to its directors during 2012.

In addition to the annual grants of options to directors described above, we typically grant options to directors upon their initial appointment or election as a director. The options will vest over three years, with 25% vested immediately and an additional 25% vesting on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant. If upon or within 24 months of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2005 Plan) a director’s service in their capacity as a director of the Company is terminated, then all options granted to the director will immediately and fully vest and be exercisable as of the date their service is terminated.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Review of Related Person Transactions

In accordance with our audit committee charter, the Audit Committee reviews related person transactions.

Board Independence

The Board has determined that each director, except for Michael R. McElwrath, has no material relationship with the Company and is independent within the meaning of the NYSE AMEX listing standards.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fee Information

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed by JonesBaggett LLP (formerly Payne Smith & Jones, P.C.) for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those years were $229,655 and $248,261 respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

JonesBaggett LLP did not render any audit-related professional services for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed by JonesBaggett LLP for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and/or tax planning for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $8,500 and $8,000, respectively. The fees were for the preparation of the 2012 and 2011 corporate tax returns.

JonesBaggett LLP did not bill any other fees for professional products or services rendered to us, other than those described above under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees” for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the audit and non-audit fees described above for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has established policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Under these procedures, prior to the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for pre-approved services, requests or applications for the independent registered public accounting firm to provide services must be submitted to our chief financial officer or his designee and the Audit Committee and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The chief financial officer or his designee and the independent registered public accounting firm must ensure that the independent registered public accounting firm is not engaged to perform the proposed services unless those services are within the list of services that have received the Audit Committee’s pre-approval and must cause the Audit Committee to be informed in a timely manner of all services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm and the related fees.

Requests or applications for the independent registered public accounting firm to provide services that require case-by-case approval will be submitted to the Audit Committee (or any Audit Committee members who have been delegated pre-approval authority) by the chief financial officer or his designee. Each request or application must include:

a recommendation by the chief financial officer (or designee) as to whether the Audit Committee should approve the request or application; and

a joint statement of the chief financial officer (or designee) and the independent registered public accounting firm as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s requirements for independence.

The Audit Committee will not permit the independent registered public accounting firm to provide services in connection with a transaction initially recommended by them, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee also will not permit the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services to the extent that the SEC has prohibited the provision of those services by the independent registered public accounting firm, which generally include:

bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements;

financial information systems design and implementation;

appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports;

actuarial services;

internal audit outsourcing services;

management functions;

human resources;

broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services;

legal services; and

expert services unrelated to the audit.

The Audit Committee delegated authority to the chairman of the Audit Committee to:

pre-approve any services proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and not already pre-approved or prohibited by the Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy;

increase any authorized fee limit for pre-approved services (but not by more than 20% of the initial amount that was pre-approved) before the Company or its subsidiaries engage the independent registered public accounting firm to perform services for any amount in excess of the fee limit; and

investigate further the scope, necessity or advisability of any services as to which pre-approval is sought.

The Chairman is required to report any pre-approval or fee increase decisions to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate to management any of the Audit Committee’s authority or responsibilities concerning the independent registered public accounting firm’s services.
