NOTE 5: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company adopted ASC 718, “Share Based Payments.” which requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards.

 

The weighted-average fair value of options are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 12,500 were issued to employees. The options vest annually over three years, have an exercise price of $2.55 per share and expire in ten years. The options had a grant date fair value of $0.81 per share, determined using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of 8 years, risk free interest rate of 2.68%, expected volatility of 24.82%, and expected dividend yield of 0%.

 

In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the number of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period.

 

For the three and six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, net income and earnings per share reflect the actual deduction for stock-based compensation expense. The impact of applying ASC 718 approximated $7,000 and $11,000 in additional compensation expense during the three months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The impact of applying ASC 718 approximated $16,000 and $21,000 in additional compensation expense during the six months ended August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Such amounts are included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations. The expense for stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense item.
