Shareholders' Equity | Stock-Based Compensation The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense that was recognized in the Company’s statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: Year ended December 31 2019 2018 Cost of sales $ 14,000 $ 11,000 Selling 121,000 102,000 Marketing 12,000 71,000 General and administrative 275,000 226,000 $ 422,000 $ 410,000 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of stock-based awards with the following weighted average assumptions: 2018 Stock Options: Expected life (years) 6.5 Expected volatility 51 % Dividend yield 0 % Risk-free interest rate 2.8 % 2019 2018 Stock Purchase Plan Options: Expected life (years) 1.0 1.0 Expected volatility 57 % 66 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Risk-free interest rate 2.6 % 1.8 % There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company uses the graded attribution method to recognize expense for unvested stock-based awards. The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company re-evaluates the forfeiture rate annually and adjusts it as necessary. Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock-Based Compensation Awards Under the terms of the 2018 Plan, the number of shares of our common stock that may be the subject of awards and issued under the 2018 Plan was initially 900,000 plus any shares remaining available for future grants under the 2013 Plan on the effective date of the 2018 Plan. All equity awards made during 2019 were under the 2018 Plan. Under the terms of the 2018 Plan, the Company may grant awards in a variety of instruments including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees, consultants and directors generally at an exercise price at or above 100% of fair market value at the close of business on the date of grant. Stock options expire 10 years after the date of grant and generally vest over three years. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon grant of restricted stock, when stock options are exercised, and when restricted stock units are vested and/or settled.
