STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

4.	STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In July 1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan was effective October 1998 and expired in October 2008. In addition, in July 2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option Plan ("2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan was effective in July 2003 and expired in July 2013. Accordingly, no further option awards may be granted under the 1998 Plan or the 2003 Plan; however, any awards granted prior to their expirations remain outstanding subject to their terms. Each option granted under the 1998 Plan or the 2003 Plan has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant, a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five years.

The following table presents activity related to stock options outstanding for the periods shown:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2017					Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price

Balance, end of period		199,143		$	4.54		223,654	$	4.73

The following table presents information on stock options outstanding for the periods shown, less estimated forfeitures:

	Three Months Ended June 30,

Stock options fully vested and expected to vest:
Number		199,143		223,654
Weighted average exercise price	$	4.54	$	4.73
Aggregate intrinsic value ⁽¹⁾	$	518,000	$	235,000

Aggregate intrinsic value ⁽¹⁾	$	518,000	$	235,000

⁽¹⁾ The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company's stock.

There was no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. As of June 30, 2017, all outstanding stock options were fully vested, and there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. There were no stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
