New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include convertible notes payable and stock options under our stock plan. Since the Company has incurred losses, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation costs for stock options issued to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $260,282 for options granted to various employees and consultants in November 2013, $80,348 of which is included in research and development expense and $179,934 is recorded as sales, general and administrative expense.

On November 19, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Employee Benefit Plan which is authorized to grant up to 525,000 shares of common stock or options to purchase common stock to eligible employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors. Eligibility and vesting, in the case of options, is determined by the Board of Directors. On November 19, 2013, the Company issued three-year options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock which vested immediately under the Plan to the Company’s President, Jeffrey Nunez, for services rendered at an exercise price of $0.50 per share at a fair market value of $67,447. Additional three-year options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, were issued to Mr. Nunez and three other employees of the Company on November 19, 2013 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for an aggregate value of $192,835.

The following table summarizes information about options granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans through January 31, 2014 and otherwise to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Generally, options vest on an annual pro rata basis over various periods of time and are exercisable, upon proper notice, in whole or in part at any time upon vesting. Typically, options granted have contractual lives ranging from two to ten years and, in the case of an employee, vested options terminate 90 days after an employee leaves the Company. All of the options granted on November 19, 2013 vested in their entirety at the time of issuance.
