STOCK COMPENSATION

The following tables summarize share-based compensation expenses relating to shares and options granted and the effect on basic and diluted loss per common share during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

 

    June 30, 2013     June 30, 2012  
                 
Vesting of stock options   $ 50,387     $ 52,794  
Incremental fair value of option modifications     957       19,838  
Vesting expense associated with CEO restricted stock grant     64,444       96,667  
Total stock-based compensation expense   $ 115,788     $ 169,299  
                 
Basic and diluted loss per common share   $ (0.00 )   $ (0.00 )

 

All of the stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which totaled $115,788 and $169,299, respectively, is included in payroll and related expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2013 had no impact on basic and diluted loss per common share and the stock-based compensation expense recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012 also had no impact on basic and diluted loss per common share .

 

We review share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of expected award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The cumulative effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate for all expense amortization is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. The effect of forfeiture adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was insignificant.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2013, In May 2013, we granted to a scientific advisory board member and a scientific consultant a three year option to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.11 per share.

 

The following outlines the significant weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value information presented, with respect to stock option grants utilizing the Binomial Lattice option pricing models at, and during the three months ended June 30, 2013: 

 

Risk free interest rate 0.38%
Average expected life 3 years
Expected volatility 94.6%
Expected dividends  None

 

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility. The expected life of options granted is based on the "simplified method" as described in the SEC's guidance due to changes in the vesting terms and contractual life of current option grants compared to our historical grants.

 

We did not issue any stock option grants in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Options outstanding that have vested and are expected to vest as of June 30, 2013 are as follows:

 

    Number of Shares     Weighted Average Exercise Price     Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years  
                   
Vested     20,204,123     $ 0.28       3.86  
Expected to vest     1,016,675     $ 0.25       7.88  
Total     21,220,798
