Private Placement

 

On February 8, 2012 we placed 256,875 shares of common stock (in the form of CDIs) at AU$8.00 per share, for proceeds, net of transaction costs, of $2,061.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes all share-based payments, including grants of stock options and compensatory employee stock purchase plans, in the statement of operations as an operating expense, based on their fair value over the requisite service period. We recorded $402 and $219 of related compensation expense to selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $31 and $11, respectively, of related compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, a total of $3,647 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards was outstanding and is expected to be recognized within the next 3.5 fiscal years.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the weighted average fair value of options.  The volatility factor used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model is based on historical stock price fluctuations.  The current forfeiture rate is based on a reasonable estimate by management.  Expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s historical and projected dividend activity and the risk free interest rate is based upon US Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the options.  The expected term is based on estimates regarding projected employee stock option exercise behavior.  Options for 31,875 shares were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the weighted average fair value of these options was $196, determined using an expected dividend yield of 0%, an expected stock price volatility ranging from 98.3% to 98.6%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.38% to 1.43% and expected option lives of 6.5 years. There were no options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

The Company’s stock options generally vest over four years of service and have a contractual life of 10 years.  We have 1,019,856 shares authorized for grant under our Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
