Note 14. Stock Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee officers based on estimated fair values as of the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Note 14. Stock Compensation Expense (continued)
Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.
The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.
The assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of option grants during the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Exercise Price - ISOs | 1.66 | |||||||
| Exercise Price - NQSOs | 1.66 | |||||||
| Dividend Yield | 0 | % | ||||||
| Volatility | 80 | % | ||||||
| Risk-free Rate - ISOs | 4.36 | % | ||||||
| Risk-free Rate - NQSOs | 4.36 | % | ||||||
| Years to Expiration - ISOs | 5 | |||||||
| Years to Expiration - NQSOs | 5 | |||||||
Vesting generally occurs over a period of three to four years for employees and two to three years for non-employee consultants. A summary of information related to stock options for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, is as follows:

About Stock Compensation Disclosures
Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.
Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
