|
| 4 | Under the provisions of ASC 718, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Sholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions such as stock price on the date of the grant, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life and expected dividend yield of the option. Expected volatility is based exclusively on historical volatility of the entity's stock as allowed by ASC 718. The Company uses historical information with respect to the employee options exercised to estimate the expected term of options granted, representing the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate of period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

No options were granted during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
