Stock Based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 5 – Stock Based Compensation The Company has established the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, which is a shareholder-approved plan that permits the granting of stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors and consultants. The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,550,000 shares of common stock of which 50,000 shares are available for grant as Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price for options awarded is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the day of grant. The options generally vest either immediately on the date of grant or one to three years from the date of grant. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded compensation costs for options and warrants of $111,994 and $41,040 respectively, as compared to $539,391 and $176,022 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, compensation costs relating to the issuance of options and warrants amounted to $463,193 and the Company recorded an expense of $76,198 associated with the repricing of options and warrants held by a former consultant/outside counsel who is now an employee of the Company, while for the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was no expense associated with the repricing of options or warrants. The Company has valued the options at their date of grant utilizing the Black Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, there was not a public market for the Company shares. Accordingly, the fair value of the underlying shares was determined based on recent transactions by the Company to sell shares to third parties and other factors determined by management to be relevant to the valuation of such shares. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, the quoted price for the Company’s shares on the OTCBB was used to value the underlying shares. Expected volatility is based upon a weighted average historical volatility of peer companies operating in a similar industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options depending on the date of the grant and expected life of the options. The expected life of options used was based on the contractual life of the option granted. The Company determined the expected dividend rate based on the assumption and expectation that earnings generated from operations are not expected to be adequate to allow for the payment of dividends in the near future. The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized in the fair value calculations for options granted:
|  | Six Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, 2014 |  |  | June 30, 2013 |
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %
Expected stock price volatility |  |  | 112 | % |  |  | 108 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.53-3.63 | % |  |  | 2.68-2.82 | %
Expected life of options |  | 10 years |  |  | .7-9.9 years |
The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s aggregate stock options granted:
