The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor&amp;#x2019;s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016.&lt;/div&gt; The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07&lt;/div&gt; will have on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Stock Compensation&lt;/div&gt;, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions.

Options are granted at per share exercise prices equal to the market value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock on the date of grant. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;28,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; only stock options and stock bonuses had been granted under the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2007&lt;/div&gt; Plan.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company available for issuance under the ESPP is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;100,000&lt;/div&gt; shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the ESPP. The ESPP provides for &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt;-month offering periods beginning on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; of each year. The purchase price of the shares is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;90%&lt;/div&gt; of the lower of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period. This discount &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may&lt;/div&gt; not exceed the maximum discount rate permitted for plans of this type under Section &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;423&lt;/div&gt; of the Internal Revenue Code of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1986,&lt;/div&gt; as amended.

The fair value of option grants is determined at date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below.&amp;nbsp; The Company recognized compensation expense of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$195,832&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$223,715&lt;/div&gt; during the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt; months ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;28,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;29,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; respectively, related to the options that vested during such time period.

Stock-based compensation expense of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$195,832&lt;/div&gt; is expected through the remainder of fiscal year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$159,600&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$79,800&lt;/div&gt; is expected to be recognized during fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; and fiscal &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019,&lt;/div&gt; respectively, based on outstanding options as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;28,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017.&lt;/div&gt; Future option grants will impact the compensation expense recognized.
