Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognized $17,919 and $24,812 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenses were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock option plan. The weighted-average fair values of stock options granted under the plan for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were based on the following assumptions at the date of grant as follows: |
|
| | Three Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2013 | |
Expected dividend yield | | 0% | |
Expected stock price volatility | | 73.23% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 2.53% | |
Expected life of options | | 10 years | |
Weighted-average grant date fair value | | $1.89 | |
|
Expected option lives and volatilities are based on historical data of the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bills rate on the grant date for constant maturities that correspond with the option life. Historically, the Company has not declared dividends and there are no future plans to do so. |
|
As of September 30, 2013, there was $436,307 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to grants under the stock option plan that is expected to be expensed over a weighted-average period of four to ten years. There was $3,981 of intrinsic value for options outstanding as of September 30, 2013. |
