NOTE

7.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

   Stock-based compensation expense was

$40,920

for the

second

quarter and

first

six

months of fiscal

2018,

and

$22,000

for the

second

quarter and

first

six

months of fiscal

2017.

Stock-based compensation expenses for the quarters and

six

months ended

September 

30,

2017

and

2016

were due to the automatic issuance to our non-employee directors of options to purchase

1,000

shares of stock on their reelection to our Board. We calculate the share-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes standard option-pricing model. The increase in stock-based compensation expense for fiscal

2018

compared to fiscal

2017

was due to an increase in the model valuation for the same number of options to purchase shares.
