7.  STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors and advisors.
 
The Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), succeeded the 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “1999 Plan”).  As of January 31, 2017, options to purchase 5,623 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1999 Plan, and no further grants can be made under the 1999 Plan.
 
The 2010 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on May 26, 2010 and became effective on August 13, 2010, upon approval by stockholders, and was subsequently amended by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2015 and approved by stockholders on April 24, 2015.  A maximum of 683,064 shares, adjusted for the split of outstanding options on May 25, 2016, the date of the Company’s 1-for-20 split, of Crossroads common stock may be awarded.  As of January 31, 2017, options to purchase 308,826 shares of common stock were granted from the 2010 Plan, of which 187,462 were outstanding. During the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, no common stock shares were granted from the 2010 Plan, respectively.
 
As of January 31, 2017, options to purchase an aggregate of 193,086 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1999 Plan and the 2010 Plan, of which 152,311 were vested. Under the 2010 Plan, 436,962 shares of common stock were available for future grants as of January 31, 2017.  The shares of common stock reserved for future grant are reduced by 26,344 options previously exercised under the 2010 Plan, and 26,457 shares of stock granted under the 2010 Plan.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to each stock option granted under the 2010 Plan. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s stock on that date (at market close). The 2010 Plan options generally become exercisable over either a two-year (vesting 25% at the end of six months and 12.5% quarterly thereafter until fully vested) or four-year period (vesting 25% after one year, the remaining 75% vesting quarterly thereafter) and expire after ten years. Stock option exercises are fulfilled with new shares of common stock.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding based upon historical analysis. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. No variables were used in the Black-Scholes calculation during the quarter ended January 31, 2017 or 2016, as no options were granted during the respective periods.
