SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Through June 2014 we had two equity compensation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the Employee Stock Option Plan) and the Amended and Restated 2004 Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Stock Option Plan) (collectively, the Former Stock Option Plans). There was no share-based compensation expense attributable to the Former Stock Option Plans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as all outstanding options under the Former Stock Option Plans are fully vested. The Employee Stock Option Plan and Directors Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2015 and September 2014, respectively. In September 2016, our Board approved the establishment of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders at the November 29, 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the award of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of September 30, 2017, no awards have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Stock Options There were no stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. As of September 30, 2017, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under our stock option plans as all outstanding stock options are fully vested. As of September 30, 2017, the options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of 3.8 years and an intrinsic value of $306,000. The following is a summary of stock option activity for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Outstanding at beginning of period 57,000 $ 1.88 90,834 $ 1.95 Options granted Options exercised (25,000 ) (1.79 ) Options canceled or expired Outstanding at end of period 57,000 $ 1.88 65,834 $ 2.01 Stock Options Exercisable at September 30, 57,000 $ 1.88 65,834 $ 2.01 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In September 2014, our Board approved the establishment of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). The ESPP conforms to the provisions of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, has coterminous offering and purchase periods of six months, and bases the pricing to purchase shares of our common stock on a formula so as to result in a per-share purchase price that approximates a 15% discount from the market price of a share of our common stock at the end of the purchase period. The Board of Directors also approved the provision that shares formerly reserved for issuance under the Former Stock Option Plans in excess of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, aggregating 704,715 shares, be reserved for issuance pursuant to the ESPP. The ESPP was approved by our shareholders at the December 3, 2014 Annual Meeting. On February 2, 2015, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering the 704,715 shares issuable under the ESPP under the Securities Act of 1933. During the first quarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 3,099 and 2,056 shares were purchased, respectively, and allocated to employees based upon their contributions at prices of $5.21 and $4.91, respectively, per share. On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP plan, employees have purchased a total of 12,489 shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $3,000 and $2,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP. |
