On August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors approved the 2015 LTI Stock Plan covering Stephen P. Herbert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and David M. DeMedio, Chief Financial Officer. The 2015 LTI Stock Plan provides that each executive officer would be awarded shares of common stock of the Company in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2015 fiscal year would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. The metrics are total number of connections as of June 30, 2015 as compared to total number of connections as of June 30, 2014 and adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2015 fiscal year as compared to adjusted EBITDA earned during the 2014 fiscal year. |
|
If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. If all of the year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Stephen P. Herbert – $341,227 (100% of base salary); and David M. DeMedio – $178,406 (75% of base salary). If all of the maximum distinguished year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Mr. Herbert – $682,454 (200% of base salary); and Mr. DeMedio – $356,812 (150% of base salary). Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. The shares awarded under the 2015 LTI Stock Plan would vest as follows: one-third at the time of issuance (June 30, 2015); one-third on the first anniversary of issuance; and one-third on the second anniversary of issuance. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $73,030 and $128,619 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, on account of the 2015 LTI Stock Plan. |

COMMON STOCK OPTIONS |
|
The Company estimates the grant date fair value of the stock options it grants using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company’s assumption for expected volatility is based on its historical volatility data related to market trading of its own common stock. The Company bases its assumptions for expected life of the new stock option grants on the life of the option granted, and if relevant, its analysis of the historical exercise patterns of its stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on dividends expected to be paid over the expected life of the stock option. The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined by using the U.S. Treasury rates of the same period as the expected option term of each stock option. |

Expected volatility | | | 79 | % | | | 78 | % | |
Expected life | | | 7 years | | | 7 years | |
