Do you guys understand how incentive stock options work?...........they have no value unless they are exercised by those they are issued to and only if sold above the price at which is the basis.....For example, if issued at .18 the holder of the options when vested must pay .18 for the option and then sell it above .18 for any return.........it behooves the company to have the stock rise so the options held have a value to those issued the options to provide incentive........contrary to what one believes they are not "free" they are issued at an excersize price but only are valuable to the holder if the price is above the issued price....these are held in the escrow acct.........or unissued shares.......does not dilute anything at all.........if billy bob is issued the right to exercize say 100 shares at .18 they would first exercize them (buy them for $18.00) and then sell them at a price above that number for a return...it is often handled in a single transaction with the basis being deducted from the overall trasaction thus defining the return.......lets say they sold at .20....the return would be basis of .18 or $18.00 @ 100 shares so the giant return in this example would only be 2.00 20.00 - 18.00 (cost of the 100 Optioned Shares) = 2.00
