Shareholders’ Equity

 

Stock Repurchase Program. In October 2011, the Company announced a stock buyback program and authorized the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of common stock. Shares may be purchased from time to time under this program in the open market, through block trades and/or in negotiated transactions.

 

From inception through September 30, 2012, a total of 75,128 shares were repurchased at an average price of $5.32 per share.

 

Stock Options. In October 2011, the shareholders approved the Company’s 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, 120,000 shares are reserved for the granting of stock options, of which 97,000 have been issued as of September 30, 2012. Under the provisions of the Plan, a committee of the Board of Directors determines the option price and the dates exercisable. During December 2011, ninety-seven thousand (97,000) options were granted at an option price of $5.51 per share. The grant date fair value of the options approximated $171,000. Fifty percent of the options vest one year after issuance, with the remaining fifty percent vesting twenty-three months after issuance. The fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions; no annual dividends, expected volatility of 57.7%, risk-free interest rate of 0.3% and expected lives of two years used for options granted during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

 

In addition, in March 2009, 25,000 options were granted at $3.25 for restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. These options are fully vested with a right to exercise until March 2014.

 

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $22,234 and $44,467 of stock-based compensation cost as general and administrative expense in our statement of operations. There was no stock based compensation or expense recorded during the prior period. No forfeitures have been estimated.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements that we expect to vest is $100,051 that will be recognized over the remaining period of fifteen months as the options vest. The aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable options was approximately $29,000 at September 30, 2012.
