Initial Public Offering |
|
The Company closed its IPO of the sale of 2,650,000 Units at a price of $7.25 per Unit on March 26, 2014. Following the closing of the IPO, during the six months ended September 30, 2014 and in connection with its IPO, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option pursuant to which the Company sold an additional 154,290 shares of common stock at $6.6608 per share, which resulted in approximately $1,028,000 of aggregate net proceeds to the Company. In connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company issued to the representative of the underwriters a five-year warrant to purchase an additional 5,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.0625 per share. The warrant is exercisable commencing one year from the date of issuance. The warrant and the shares of common stock underlying the warrant have been deemed compensation by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and are, therefore, subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. |

Stock Options |
|
The Company has computed the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at an annual rate of 0% for options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2014. The expected term used for options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued. |
|
In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options granted, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions: |

| | September 30, | | | | | | | |
| | 2014 | | 2013 | | | | | | | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 1.67 | % | | n/a | | | | | | | |

Expected volatility | | | 95 | % | | n/a | | | | | | | |
Expected dividends | | | 0 | % | | n/a | | | | | | | |
|
The weighted average estimated fair value of the options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2014 was $4.79 per share. There were no options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and six months ended September 30, 2013. |
