1999 Amended Stock Plan

In October 2000, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), as amended and restated on June 17, 2008. Under the Plan, with the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company may grant stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. On September 30, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved amendment 1 to the Plan which increased the amount of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan to 6,000,000, up from 800,000 previously authorized. Stock options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options ("ISOs"), or nonqualified stock options ("NSOs"). ISOs may be granted only to employees. NSOs may be granted to employees, consultants and directors. Stock options under the Plan may be granted with a term of up to ten years and at prices no less than fair market value for ISOs and no less than 85% of the fair market value for NSOs. To date, stock options granted generally vest over one to three years and vest at a rate of 34% upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 33% on each anniversary thereafter. As of October 31, 2011 we had 5,462,484 shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan.

The following table summarizes the grant date fair value stock-based compensation expense for stock options and the restricted stock issued during the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

   For the the six months ended October 31
   2011  2010
       
Research and development  $63,532   $19,428 
Marketing and sales   2,174    —   
General and administrative   2,024    47,566 
   $67,730   $66,994 

We used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of options granted under our stock option plans for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

   For the the six months ended October 31
   2011  2010
       
Risk-free interest rate (weighted average)   2.38%   1.83%
Expected volatility (weighted average)   78.47%   86.44%
Expected term (in years)   7    6 
Expected dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on U.S. Treasury instruments with a term that is consistent with the expected term of our stock options.
Expected Volatility The expected stock price volatility for our common stock was determined by examining the historical volatility and trading history for our common stock over a term consistent with the expected term of our options.
Expected Term The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. It was calculated based on the historical experience that we have had with our stock option grants.
Expected Dividend Yield The expected dividend yield of 0% is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts. We have not paid and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.
Forfeitures Stock compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on our historical experience.

As of October 31, 2011, there were unrecognized compensation costs of approximately $19,500 related to non-vested stock option awards granted after May 1, 2004 that will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.03 years.

Pursuant to certain officer employment contracts, on May 19, 2011, the CEO was granted 100,000 shares of restricted common stock, vesting quarterly over a three-year period and 16,800 shares of restricted common stock vesting monthly over a 12-month period. The Chief Financial Officer was granted 8,600 shares of restricted common stock vesting over a 12-month period, of which 3,600 shares will only vest so long as he continues serving as the Company's Corporate Secretary.
