13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan approved in 2011(“Plan”), the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grant and issuance of stock options is 4,341,989 shares. On October 5, 2015, during the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the aggregate number of shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Plan was increased to 10,341,989. As of September 30, 2016, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 7,368,489.

The fair value of each option award below is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk free rate is based on the yield-to-maturity in continuous compounding of the US Government Bonds with the time-to-maturity similar to the expected tenor of the option granted, volatility is based on the annualized historical stock price volatility of the Company, and the expected life is based on the historical option exercise pattern.

In early March 2016, the Company granted to an independent director an option to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.78 per share and the options vested immediately. The options were valued at $7,300 fair value, with assumed 65.69% volatility, a three-year expiration term with expected tenor of 1.33 years, a risk free rate of 0.71% and no dividend yield. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, $7,300 was recognized as general and administrative expenses.

On May 7, 2016, the Company granted to an independent director an option to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.45 per share and the options vested immediately. The options were valued at $5,500 fair value, with assumed 66.40% volatility, a three-year expiration term with an expected tenor of 1.33 years, a risk free rate of 0.58% and no dividend yield. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, $5,500 was recognized as general and administrative expenses.

On July 1, 2016, the Company granted to an independent director an option to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.54 per share and the options vested immediately. The options were valued at $4,600 fair value, with assumed 52.38% volatility, a three-year expiration term with expected tenor of 1.33 years, a risk free rate of 0.49% and no dividend yield. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, $4,600 was recognized as general and administrative expenses.
