Schedule Of Stock Option Valuation Assumptions

	Options Granted November 12, 2012
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$ 5.33
Assumptions used:
Expected life (years)	8.30
Risk-free interest rate	0.71%
Volatility	77.72%
Dividend Yield	0.00%

a) Expected life:  For employee grants, the expected term of options granted is determined using historical data, the contractual terms of the options granted and other factors.

b) Risk-free interest rate:  The rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected life of the options.

c) Volatility:  The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock is calculated by using the historical daily volatility of the Company’s stock price calculated over a period of time representative of the expected life of the options.

d) Dividend yield:  The dividend yield rate is not considered in the model, as the Company has not established a dividend policy for the stock and, other than the one-time special dividend, the Company has not historically paid any dividends.
