Valuation Assumptions |
|
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: |
|
| | Three Months Ended | | | Six Months Ended | |
| | 28-Feb | | | 28-Feb | | | 28-Feb | | | February 28 | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | | | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Expected term of stock options (years) | | — | | | 0.00 - 0.12 | | | — | | | 0.00 - 0.25 | |
Expected volatility | | — | | | 0%- 150% | | | — | | | 0%- 150% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | — | | | 0.00%- 0.06% | | | — | | | 0.00%- 0.14% | |
Dividend yield | | — | | | — | | | — | | | — | |
|
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company also uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. |
|
The expected term of stock options represents the period of time that options vested are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on US Treasury bill rates in effect at the time of options vested. |
