Stock-Based Compensation | 5. Equity-Based Compensation Our 1996 Employee, Director and Consultants Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan) was approved by the Board of Directors and Stockholders in March 1996. A total of 7,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan. Under the terms of the 1996 Plan, the exercise price of Incentive Stock Options issued under the 1996 Plan must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. In the event that Non Qualified Options are granted under the 1996 Plan, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the grant (but not less than par value). In October 2003, our shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the 2003 Plan), which authorizes the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock with terms similar to the 1996 Plan. In January 2006, we filed Form S-8 with the SEC registering an additional 489,920 total shares of common stock in the 1996 Plan and 2003 Plan. Total shares of common stock registered under the 1996 Plan and 2003 Plan (collectively, the Plans) are 10,489,920. Substantially all of the stock options granted pursuant to the 1996 Plan provide for the acceleration of vesting of the shares of common stock subject to such options in connection with certain changes in our control. A similar provision is not included in the 2003 Plan. Options granted expire ten years from the grant date. As of September 30, 2013, all Plans and shares not granted expired. As of June 30, 2015, there are no other equity incentive plans in place for the future issuance of our common stock. Activity under the Plans for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows: Options Outstanding Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Options outstanding as of April 1, 2015 2,175,750 $0.36 Granted - - Exercised - - Cancelled or forfeited - - Options outstanding as of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) 2,175,750 $0.36 5.22 $- Options exercisable as of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) 1,843,875 $0.41 4.67 $- Options vested or expected to vest as of June 30, 2015 (unaudited) 2,175,750 $0.36 5.22 $- Our unaudited condensed statements of operations include equity-based compensation expense related to our stock option plans for employee and non-employee director awards in the amount of $3,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. There was no income tax benefit related to these costs. As of June 30, 2015, the total amount of unrecognized equity-based compensation expense was approximately $12,000 which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.17 years. |
