Stock-Based Compensation

Note 8:    Stock-Based Compensation

On June 28, 2013, the Company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission a stock-based compensation plan, which superseded all other plans. There are 342,000 shares available for grant under this plan at June 30, 2016.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards for both the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was zero. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards was $16 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. Compensation expense for stock options is the estimated fair value of options on the date granted using the Black-Scholes Model amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options as of June 30, 2016.

Options for a total of 7,500 shares were granted and vested during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The aggregate fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $16 thousand. Options for a total of 7,500 shares were granted and vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The aggregate fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $17 thousand.

The variables used in these calculations of the fair value of the options are as follows:

	For the six months ended June 30,
	2016			2015
Risk free interest rate (5 year Treasury)		1.49	%		1.52	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected term (years)		5			5
Expected volatility		40.1	%		47.1	%

This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock.
