Equity Incentive Plans | Equity Incentive Plans We have two equity incentive plans: the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”, and together with the 2008 Plan, the “Stock Option Plans”). The Stock Option Plans are meant to provide additional incentive to officers, employees and consultants to remain in our employment. Options granted are generally exercisable for up to 10 years . On May 14, 2015, the stockholders voted to increase the number of shares reserved by the 2011 Plan to 2,650,000 shares of common stock. At June 30, 2015 , 915,700 shares remain available for future awards under the 2011 Plan and 93,251 shares remain available for future awards under the 2008 Plan. As of June 30, 2015 , no stock appreciation rights and 256,500 shares of restricted stock have been awarded under the Stock Option Plans. A summary of employee and non-employee stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows: Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Outstanding January 1, 2015 1,839,458 $ 10.58 8.49 $ 618,250 Granted 194,700 9.80 Exercised (4,191 ) 5.40 Canceled or expired (97,556 ) 9.85 Outstanding June 30, 2015 1,932,411 $ 10.55 8.12 $ 4,955,851 Exercisable June 30, 2015 810,642 $ 9.78 6.77 $ 2,481,156 Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of our common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The fair value of our common stock was $11.76 at June 30, 2015 and $6.68 at December 31, 2014 , based on the closing price on the NASDAQ Capital Market. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we received approximately $23,000 from the exercise of options. The options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 had a total intrinsic value of approximately $24,000 . As of June 30, 2015 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to employees was $5,670,066 which we expect to recognize over the next 3.40 years. As of June 30, 2015 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted to non-employees was $997,344 which we expect to recognize over the next 2.53 years. The estimate of unrecognized non-employee compensation is based on the fair value of the non-vested options as of June 30, 2015 . The fair value of options granted to employees is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This valuation model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of our common stock, a risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. To the extent actual forfeitures differ from the estimates, the difference will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. No compensation cost is recorded for options that do not vest. We use the simplified calculation of expected life described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment , and volatility is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the common stock of three entities with characteristics similar to those of the Company. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option. We use an expected dividend yield of zero, as we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected forfeitures are assumed to be zero due to the small number of plan participants and the plan design which has monthly vesting after an initial cliff vesting period. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted to employees during the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Volatility 58.83 % 74.94 % 63.89 % 74.94 % Risk free interest rate 1.61 % 1.75 % 1.65 % 1.75 % Dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Term (years) 5.99 6.00 6.15 6.00 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the period 5.71 7.22 5.77 7.22 In May 2014, we issued 200,000 options to our Director, Raju Chaganti, with an exercise price of $15.89 . See Note 11 for additional information. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options reaching their measurement date for non-employees during the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Volatility 69.85 % 71.60 % 70.18 % 72.13 % Risk free interest rate 2.42 % 2.53 % 2.15 % 2.63 % Dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Term (years) 8.84 9.28 8.96 9.40 Restricted stock awards have been granted to employees, directors and consultants as compensation for services. At June 30, 2015 , there was $825,652 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted to employees; we expect to recognize the cost over 2.68 years. At June 30, 2015 , there was $8,216 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock granted to non-employees; we expect to recognize the cost over 0.28 years. The following table summarizes the activities for our non-vested restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2015 : Non-vested Restricted Stock Awards Number of Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested at January 1, 2015 132,500 $ 8.14 Granted 29,000 9.47 Vested (28,333 ) 9.79 Canceled (10,000 ) $ 8.42 Non-vested at June 30, 2015 123,167 $ 8.15 The following table presents the effects of stock-based compensation related to stock option and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees on our Statement of Operations during the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Cost of revenues $ 54,739 $ 20,496 $ 103,925 $ 40,908 Research and development 128,507 143,069 223,580 157,171 General and administrative 534,831 552,713 1,055,568 1,021,568 Sales and marketing 39,196 47,304 70,553 74,058 Total stock-based compensation $ 757,273 $ 763,582 $ 1,453,626 $ 1,293,705 |
