NOTE 15 —  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Options and Other Equity Compensation Plans

In March 2008, our Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval, referred to as the 2008 Incentive Plan. The 2008 Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 16, 2009. We reserved 1,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2008 Incentive Plan and for other compensatory equity grants for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and performance awards, pursuant to which certain options will be granted. The terms and conditions of such awards are determined at the sole discretion of our board of directors or a committee designated by the Board to administer the plan. Previously unissued shares of our common stock are provided to a participant upon a participant’s exercise of vested options.

On May 26, 2011, a majority of our stockholders approved a resolution to reserve and authorize an additional 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan for Beacon’s non-executive employees, thereby bringing the total reserved and authorized shares to 2,000,000.

A summary of stock options that we granted during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is as follows:

We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, such as those included in the table above. The volatility rates are based on historical stock prices of similarly situated companies and expectations of the future volatility of our common stock. The expected life of options granted is based upon the average of the vesting and contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The total expense to be recorded in future periods will depend on several variables, including the number of share-based awards.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options we granted during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $.58 and $0.81 per share respectively.

We recognized non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as follows:

	For the		For the
	year ended		year ended

Total Stock Compensation Expense	$	688	$	1,082

A summary of the status of our stock option plan and the changes during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively, is presented in the table below:
