The Company follows ASC 718 “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 fair values and over the requisite service period. The Company recorded non-cash compensation expense relating to stock-based compensation of $5,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively ($0.00 per basic and diluted share for each period).

In December 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Employee Plan”). The 2012 Employee Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 950,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be acquired by the holders of such awards. Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options, which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”), to valued employees. Any plan participant who is granted ISOs and possesses more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company's outstanding common stock must be granted an option with a price of at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

Under the 2012 Employee Plan, stock options may be granted to valued employees with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At September 30, 2018, 58,700 stock options were granted, 27,900 stock options were exercisable and 817,900 stock options were available for grant under this plan.

The fair value of each option granted during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	2018					2017

2,500 and 2,000

stock options were exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. $16,000 and $13,000 of cash was received from option exercises during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017,

respectively,

and the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises was $0 for each of these periods.

In December 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Non-Employee Plan”).

Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options to non-employee directors and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries.

An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At September 30, 2018, 27,800 stock options were granted, 13,800 stock options were exercisable and no further stock options were available for grant under this plan.
