of the
1998 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan"), adopted by
the
Board of Directors in 1998, are to attract and retain employees and
provide an incentive for them to assist us in achieving our long-range
performance goals, and to enable such employees to participate in
our
long-term growth. In general, under the 1998 Plan, all employees
who are
not officers or directors are eligible to participate in the 1998
Plan.
The 1998 Plan is currently administered by the Compensation Committee
of
the Board of Directors. Participants in the 1998 Plan are eligible
to
receive non-qualified stock options at an option price determined
by the
Stock Option Committee. All stock options granted under the 1998
Plan have
been granted for at least the fair market value on the date of grant.
A
total of 2,700,000 shares of our common stock have been authorized
for
issuance under the 1998 Plan.

As
of December 31, 2007 the Company had working capital of $7.7 million
including $3.6 million in cash equivalents. On December 31, 2006
the
Company had working capital of $12.4 million including $7.8 million
in
cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s current ratio at December 31,
2007 was 3.7 compared to 4.5 at December 31, 2006. A significant
portion
in the reduction of working capital and the corresponding current
ratio
was due to our 2007 net loss of $3.5 million and the cash expenditure
of
$1.2 million for our June 2007 investment in Unity Business Networks,
LLC.
|
In
2007 the Company’s net cash used by investing activities was $1.2 million,
which included the cost of its investment in Unity Business Networks,
LLC.
of $1.2 million
