Certain restricted stock awards have performance-based vesting provisions and are subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, if these performance conditions are not achieved. Management assesses, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved and, once it is deemed probable, compensation expense is recognized over the relevant performance period. For those awards not subject to performance criteria, the cost of the restricted stock awards is expensed, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2017 was $218,000. Of this amount, $63,000 relates to time-based awards with a remaining weighted average period of 1.05 years. The remaining $155,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relates to performance-based awards for which expense will be recognized upon the Company achieving defined revenue targets and other financial goals and will expire 10 years from the grant date.
