EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN | NOTE 6 – EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN We previously established the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which was scheduled to expire on October 30, 2017 and under which we granted key employees and members of our Board options to purchase shares of our common stock at not less than fair market value as of the grant date. On May 4, 2017, the Board approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to replace the 2007 Plan, which became effective upon the approval of the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power in the Company on July 18, 2017. The 2017 Plan replaces the 2007 Plan and authorizes us to issue awards (stock options and restricted stock) up to a maximum of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, which equals the number of shares authorized under the 2007 Plan. On July 24, 2017, certain stock options from the 2007 Plan were cancelled and replacement stock options were awarded. The replacement stock option awards have an exercise price of $8.00 per share, a seven-year term, are vested 50% on date of grant with the remaining vesting over a 4-year period from the date issued and are subject to certain other terms. Each option holder received options equal to 150% of the number of cancelled stock options. The cancellation and reissuance of the stock options were treated as a modification under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. On September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company granted each Board member 2,500 stock options and 2,500 shares of restricted stock for their Board services. The options were granted at a price of $8.00 per share and vest ratably over a four-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary. The options had an aggregate grant date fair value of $38,295 and $29,580 on September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The restricted stock issued on September 30, 2019 to the Board members has an aggregate fair value of $100,000 and vest ratably in arrears over four quarters on the last day of each fiscal quarter following the grant date. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the amount of restricted stock compensation expense recorded was $25,000 and $20,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the amount of restricted stock compensation expense recorded was $65,000 and $60,000, respectively. All options granted thus far under the 2017 Plan have an exercise price of $8.00 per share and vesting of the options ranges from immediate to 25% per year, with most options vesting 25% per year beginning on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. The options expire seven years from the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense was $120,158 and $338,814 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $86,749 and $260,980 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, there was approximately $1,068,921 in unrecognized compensation cost related to the options granted under the 2017 plan. We expect to recognize these costs over the remaining vesting terms, ranging from 3 to 4 years.
