NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognized $38,757 and $14,611 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and recognized $102,989 and $29,622 in stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  These expenses were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock Options.  The Company maintained a 2005 equity incentive plan (“2005 Plan”) for the benefit of employees. On June 29, 2015, the shareholders approved a new 2015 equity incentive plan (“2015 Plan”) setting aside 500,000 shares of common stock. No additional shares or awards will be granted under the 2005 Plan. The 2015 Plan was filed with the SEC on September 3, 2015.   Incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted common stock, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards may be granted under the 2015 Plan.  Awards granted under the 2015 Plan may be performance-based.  As of December 31, 2016, there were 373,404 shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance available for future grants under the terms of the 2015 Plan.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the 2005 and 2015 Plans during the six-month period ended December 31, 2016.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

Expected option lives and volatilities are based on historical data of the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bills rate on the grant date for constant maturities that correspond with the option life. Historically, the Company has not declared dividends on common stock and there are no plans to do so.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $290,322 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to grants under the 2005 and 2015 Plans that is expected to be expensed over a weighted-average period of 6.25 years. There was $512 of intrinsic value for options outstanding as of December 31, 2016.
