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 is 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 $58,000 and $47,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Stock-based compensation is primarily included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
