6. Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes share-based compensation at the fair value of the equity instrument on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the required service period. Share-based compensation expenses were $315,000 and $122,001 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Share-based compensation expenses were $551,717 and $305,536 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2017, there was a total of $1,053,504 of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested share–based payments granted to the Company’s employees. As of that date, the remaining unamortized expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years.
