Vested and exercisable at March 31, 2018					5,132,684		$	2.87		6.5	$	18,702
Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2018					8,207,659		$	3.80		7.3	$	22,557

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees was $4.75 and $3.10 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The grant date fair value of options vested was $1.1 million and $558 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.6 million and insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At March 31, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $9.5 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Determination of Fair Value

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables used to calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Fair Value of Common Stock

Beginning March 31, 2016, the Company’s common stock shares were listed on The NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ. Fair value of the common stock is the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading date on these stock exchanges.

Expected Term

The expected term represents the period that the Company’s option awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company considers several factors in estimating the expected term of options granted, including the expected lives used by a peer group of companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to its business and the historical option exercise behavior of its employees, which the Company believes is representative of future behavior.

Expected Volatility

As the Company has a limited trading history for its common stock, the expected stock price volatility for the Company’s common stock was estimated by taking a combination of the average historic price volatility of the Company’s common stock and industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the Company’s industry which were the same as the comparable companies used in the common stock valuation analysis. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of its own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be used in the calculation.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes, with maturities similar to the expected term of the options.

Expected Dividend Yield

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option-valuation model.

In addition to the Black-Scholes assumptions discussed immediately above, the estimated forfeiture rate also has a significant impact on the related stock-based compensation. The forfeiture rate of stock options is estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

The fair value of employee stock option was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Expected term (in years)		5.9		6.0
Expected volatility%	61.7%		67.1%
Risk-free interest rate%	2.6%		2.1%
Expected dividend yield%		0.0%		0.0%

Restricted Stock Units

From time to time, the Company grants Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, to its board of directors for their services. These RSUs were fully vested upon issuance and will be released and settled upon termination of the board services or the occurrence of a change in control event. The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

In September 2016 and November 2017, the Company granted 112,578 shares and 43,554 shares of RSUs, to its board members and these RSUs had a grant-date fair value of $3.52 and $8.02 per share, respectively. 18,964 shares of these RSUs with a grant-date fair value of $3.52 per share were released in December 2017 in connection with the resignation of one board member.

In November 2017, the Company granted 12,468 shares of RSUs with a grant-date fair value of $8.02 per share to one executive officer upon his termination. These RSUs were fully vested upon issuance and were released in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no RSUs were issued and no stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs was recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations is classified as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Research and development	$	203	$	165
Selling and marketing		127		51
General and administrative		860		553
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	1,190	$	769

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no stock-based compensation expenses capitalized as a component of inventory or recognized in cost of revenue. Stock-based compensation relating to stock-based awards granted to consultants were insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
