Stock-Based Compensation

6 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Our directors, officers, and key employees are granted stock-based compensation through our Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Omnibus Plan”), through October 2018 and after that date, the 2018 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “SICP”), including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. The stock-based compensation expense is based primarily on the fair value of the award as of the grant date, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:

	Six Months Ended December 31,
	2020		2019

Stock options	$	34,241	$	5,307
RSUs		208,775		173,082
Total	$	243,016	$	178,389

The amounts above were included in:

Cost of sales		-		-
New product development		-		-
	$	243,016	$	178,389

We also adopted the LightPath Technologies, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2014 ESPP”). The 2014 ESPP permits employees to purchase Class A common stock through payroll deductions, subject to certain limitations. A discount of $1,091 and $1,203 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in the selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, which represents the value of the 10% discount given to the employees purchasing stock under the 2014 ESPP.

Grant Date Fair Values and Underlying Assumptions; Contractual Terms

We estimate the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The fair value of 2014 ESPP shares is the amount of the discount the employee obtains at the date of the purchase transaction.

Most stock options granted vest ratably over two to four years and are generally exercisable for ten years. The assumed forfeiture rates used in calculating the fair value of RSU grants was 0%, and the assumed forfeiture rates used in calculating the fair value of options for performance and service conditions were 20% for each of the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The volatility rate and expected term are based on seven-year historical trends in Class A common stock closing prices and actual forfeitures. The interest rate used is the U.S. Treasury interest rate for constant maturities.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no stock options granted under the Omnibus Plan. For stock options granted under the SICP in the six-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we estimated the fair value of each stock option as of the date of grant using the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Weighted-average expected volatility		71.2%		63.7%
Dividend yields		0%		0%
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate		0.74%		1.57%
Weighted-average expected term, in years		7.49		7.50

As of December 31, 2020, there was approximately $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements (including stock options and RSUs) granted. We expect to recognize the compensation cost as follows:
