Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains stock option plans that include both incentive and non-qualified options reserved for issuance to key employees, including officers and directors.  All options are issued at fair market value at the grant date and are exercisable in varying installments according to the plans.  The plans allow for the payment of option exercises through the surrender of previously owned mature shares based on the fair market value of such shares at the date of surrender.

The Company follows ASC 718 (SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values and over the requisite service period.  For the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $76,230 and $77,968, respectively, ($.02 and $.02 per basic and diluted share, respectively) relating to stock compensation.
