Stockholders' Equity
8. Stockholders' Equity:

Stock-based compensation:

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, a total of 482,361 options with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $0.7 million were granted to Company employees and directors. The options granted have a term of 10 years from the grant date. Of the options granted, 164,008 options vested immediately and the remainder vest ratably over a three year period. The fair value of each option is amortized as compensation expense evenly through the vesting period. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Common Stock, and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the "simplified method" which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. The weighted average for key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 follows:

 

         

Expected price volatility

     83.67%-83.69

Risk-free interest rate

     0.84
