Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant, and recognition of stock-based compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense was $153,000 and $408,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016, stock-based compensation was $113,000 and $275,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation is primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
