11. Stock Based Compensation

Stock options

As of September 30, 2013, we had a total of 1,245,962 incentive and nonqualified stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan. All of our outstanding options have terms of between five and ten years. During the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized share based compensation expense totaling $0 and $149,692, respectively, related to stock options granted through that date.

 

For purposes of accounting for stock based compensation, the fair value of each option and warrant award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the calculations of the options.

 

Expected Term   4.96 years
Weighted average volatility   121.93%
Forfeiture rate   20.00%
Risk-free interest rate   2.02%
Expected dividend rate   0

 

The weighted average expected option and warrant term for director and employee stock options granted reflects the application of the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The simplified method defines the life as the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted average vesting period for all options. We utilized this approach as our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate an expected term. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock as well as those of a peer group. We estimated the forfeiture rate based on our expectation for future forfeitures and we currently expect substantially all options and warrants to vest. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at or near the time of grant. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

 

The following is required disclosure in connection with stock options and warrants (which resulted in share based compensation charges) as of September 30, 2013: 1) weighted average exercise price - $0.81; 2) weighted average remaining contractual term vested and outstanding options 74 months, respectively; 3) aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options and warrants - $0.00 and $0.00, respectively; 4) weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted - $1.14 per share; and 5) weighted average fair value of options and warrants vested - $1.48 per share.

 

The exercise prices for options and warrants granted and outstanding which resulted in stock based compensation charges was as follows:

 

Exercise Price Range   Number of options or warrants
$0.25 - $0.50   100,000
$0.51 – $0.75   1,297,000
$0.76 - $1.00   -
$1.01 - $1.25   624,000
$1.26 - $2.00   32,500
$2.01 - $3.00   -
$3.01 - $4.00   1,462
$4.01 above   -
    2,054,962
