Stock Options | NOTE 9 - Stock Options The Company follows ASC 718 (“Share-Based Payment”), which requires that all share based payments to employees, including stock options, be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values and over the requisite service period. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded non-cash compensation expense of $435,000 ($0.02 per basic and diluted share), $583,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) and $160,000 ($0.01 per basic and diluted share), respectively, relating to stock-based compensation. 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan In December 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan (the 2012 Employee Plan). The 2012 Employee Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired by the holders of such awards. Under this plan, the Company may grant stock options, which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (ISOs), to valued employees. Any plan participant who is granted ISOs and possesses more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company’s outstanding common stock must be granted an option with a price of at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Under the 2012 Employee Plan, stock options may be granted to valued employees with a term of up to 10 years at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at 20% per year beginning on the date of grant. An option granted under this plan shall vest in full upon a “change in control” as defined in the plan. At June 30, 2021, 107,040 stock options were outstanding, 49,088 stock options were exercisable and 738,460 stock options were available for grant under this plan. No options were granted under this plan during the year ended June 30, 2021. The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2021 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rates n/a % .6% - 2.10 % 2.5% - 3.10 % Expected lives n/a 10 years 10 years Expected volatility n/a % 44% - 46 % 48% - 52 % Expected dividend yields n/a % 0 % 0 % The Company uses a weighted-average expected stock-price volatility assumption that is a combination of both current and historical implied volatilities of the underlying stock. The implied volatilities were obtained from publicly available data sources. For the weighted-average expected option life assumption, the Company considers the exercise behavior of past grants. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Bond rate for the expected term of the options and the average dividend yield is based on historical experience.
