The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $7.26. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $158,000. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013:


         

Dividend yield

 

 

0.0

%

Expected volatility

 

 

90

%

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

1.39-1.5

%

Expected lives (years)

 

 

5-6

 


The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury interest rates at the time of the grant whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company used an average historical stock price volatility based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of comparable companies that have issued stock options with substantially similar terms, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. Expected term represents the period that the Company's stock option grants are expected to be outstanding. The Company elected to utilize the "simplified" method to value stock option grants. Under this approach, the weighted-average expected life is presumed to be the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option.


Expected dividend yield was considered to be 0% in the option pricing formula since the Company had not paid any dividends and had no plans to do so in the future. The forfeiture rate was considered to be none insofar as the historical experience of the Company is very limited. As required by ASC 718, the Company will adjust the estimated forfeiture rate based upon actual experience.

The Company recognized $183,575 and $100,079 in stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively for the Company's stock option awards.

In addition, upon consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the investors in our Series B-1 Preferred Stock were to be issued shares of our common stock having a value based upon the initial public offering price of $361,668 and our obligation to issue, and the investors, obligation to purchase, Series B-2 Preferred Stock and warrants upon fulfillment of certain conditions specified in our stock purchase agreement dated as of March 25, 2013 entered into in connection with such private placement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") will terminate.  See Note 7- "Subsequent Events" below with respect to the stock issuances that occurred upon consummation of the Qualified Public Offering on July 29, 2013.
