Share-Based Compensation – Employees and Directors

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $2,000 and $13,000, respectively.

 

There was no related income tax benefit recognized because our deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.

 

We determine the fair value of option grant share-based awards at their grant date, using a Black-Scholes-Merton Option-Pricing Model.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, no restricted stock units were granted or vested or forfeited; no options to purchase shares were granted or exercised or expired; no restricted stock awards were granted or exercised or forfeited. At March 31, 2014, options to purchase 519,500 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $0.47 per share were outstanding.
