Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred has a stated value of $1,000, which is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $4.50 per share. The Series A Convertible Preferred accrue dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, cumulative. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears at the Company’s option either in cash or “in kind” in shares of common stock; provided, however that dividends may only be paid in cash following the fiscal year in which the Company has net income (as shown in its audited financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year) of at least $500,000, to the extent permitted under applicable law out of funds legally available therefore. For “in-kind” dividends, holders will receive that number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the amount of the dividend payment due such stockholder divided by (ii) 90% of the average of the per share market values during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding a dividend date. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or sale of the Company, each holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of an aggregate payment equal to: (i) $1,000 multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Certificate of Designation multiplied by (iii) 2.5. For all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, the holders of the Series A Preferred as a class shall have an aggregate number of votes equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole number) into which the total shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Certificate of Designation on such date of determination are convertible multiplied by (y) 2.5 (the “Total Series A Votes”), with each holder of Series A Preferred entitled to vote its pro rata portion of the Total Series A Votes. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. In addition, the holders of Series A Preferred shall vote separately a class to change any of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred.

The total number of shares available for the grant of either stock options or compensation stock under the 2016 Plan is 166,667 shares, subject to adjustment. On January 1, 2017, the number of shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan reset to 289,709 shares, equal to 8% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. In May 2017, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2016 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved thereunder to a new total of 389,709 shares, contingent upon stockholder adoption and approval of this amendment at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

At June 30, 2017, there were 287,516 options and 61,388 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued under the 2016 Plan, with vesting schedules varying between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date.

At June 30, 2017, there were 16,667 options outstanding that were not issued under the 2015 Plan or the 2016 Plan. A summary of all stock option activity at and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is presented below: # of Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2016 173,750 $ 9.24 Options granted 145,000 (1) 4.74 Options exercised (9,260 ) 5.40 Options canceled - - Outstanding at June 30, 2017 309,490 $ 7.25 Exercisable at June 30, 2017 112,250 $ 10.76 (1) options granted under 2016 Plan; The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2017 was $231,500. At June 30, 2017, there were 197,240 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $663,100. The unvested options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in each respective option agreement, which varies between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at June 30, 2017 was $184,403. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, 73,186 options became vested. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest. To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following: ● Exercise price of the option ● Fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant ● Expected term of the option ● Expected volatility over the expected term of the option ● Risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017: Risk-free interest rate 1.56 % Expected term (in years) 6.96 Dividend yield - Expected volatility 75 % The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $3.29. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 145,000 options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $476,965. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, total stock option expense related to stock options was $279,322 and $157,408 respectively. At June 30, 2017, the total compensation cost related to stock options not yet recognized is approximately $650,722, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.24 years. Warrants During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 400,019 detachable warrants in connection with the purchase of 400,019 shares of common stock. The Company has determined the warrants should be classified as equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. The estimated fair value of the warrants at issuance was $782,837, based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the weighted-average assumptions below: Volatility 75 % Risk-free interest rate 1.50 % Expected term (in years) 3.0 Expected dividend yield - Fair value of common stock $ 5.00 A total of 40,834 warrants were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for cash proceeds of $159,250. A summary of activity in warrants is as follows: Warrants Weighted Average Remaining Life Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2016 846,765 2.77 years $ 6.48 $ 0 Six months ended June 30, 2017: Granted 400,019 3.00 years $ 7.50 $ 0 Exercised (40,834 ) 2.00 years $ 3.90 Forfeited and cancelled (74,873 ) 2.00 years $ 6.00 - Outstanding at June 30, 2017 1,131,077 2.51 years $ 6.88 $ 0 |
