Exercisability of option awards may depend on achievement of certain performance measures determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board. Shares issued upon option exercise are newly issued shares. As of June 30, 2019, there were 1.5 million shares available for grant. Stock-based compensation expense, shown in the table below, is recorded in general and administrative expenses included in our statement of operations:

Ref (a): Compensation expense for the portion of equity awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered is recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The compensation expense for that portion of awards has been based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for recognition purposes under applicable guidance. For options that vest based on the Company’s common stock achieving and maintaining defined market prices, the Company values the awards with a binomial model that utilizes various probability factors and other criterion in establishing fair value of the grant. The related compensation expense is recognized over the derived service period determined in the valuation. Ref (b): Unrecognized stock expense related to current year's equity grants of restricted stock units to non-employee directors in accordance with DLH compensation policy for non-employee directors. The remaining term for the weighted average expense of all stock-based compensation is 3.60 years.
