Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Warrants
7. Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Warrants
 
In March 2000, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Stock Plan”) as approved by its Board of Directors. Under the 2000 Stock Plan, the Company granted options to acquire up to 1,600,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the adoption of the 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as further discussed below, the Company is to grant no additional options under the 2000 Stock Plan. Under the 2000 Stock Plan, there were no options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that remained outstanding as of December 31, 2013. Prior to March 2007, the Company also granted options to purchase 16,000 shares of common stock to two consultants which were granted under separate agreements outside of the 2000 Stock Plan.
 
On October 26, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, and on May 1, 2007, reapproved the adoption of the 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2006 Stock Plan”). The stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Plan on June 1, 2007. The initial number of shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to the 2006 Stock Plan was 2,160,000 shares of common stock. Also, the 2006 Stock Plan includes the number of shares subject to purchase under options issued under the 2000 Stock Plan, where the options expired on or after October 18, 2006, subject to a maximum of 210,000 additional options.  In addition, on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company during the period beginning in fiscal year 2008 and ending on the second day of fiscal year 2017, the number of shares that may be issued from time to time pursuant to the 2006 Stock Plan is increased by the lesser of (i) 200,000 shares or equivalent, after determination of the effect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination or similar transactions as set forth in the 2006 Stock Plan, (ii) 5% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on such date or (iii) an amount determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The initial number of shares available for issuance of 2,160,000 increased by 210,000 for options issued under the 2000 Stock Plan expiring after October 2006 and by 200,000 in 2008 through 2015, resulting in the total number of shares that may be issued as of January 1, 2015 to be 3,970,000. As of March 31, 2015, there were 1,508,922 options available for grant under the 2006 Stock Plan.
 
Employee options vest according to the terms of the specific grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Non-employee option grants to date typically vest over a two- to three-year period. The Company had 2,461,078 options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $1.59 at March 31, 2015. There were 1,027,992 non-vested stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $1.07 at March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, there was $637,950 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2006 Stock Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
 
Except for certain grants of restricted common stock and common stock options containing market conditions as described below, the Company estimated share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015* using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions:

*     There were no stock options issued for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
** Expected term is calculated using SAB 107, Simplified Formula. Management has concluded that the use of the simplified method for calculating the expected term of its common stock option grants is appropriate given the lack of historical exercises and the standard terms of the employee option grants, including, options are granted at-the-money, exercise is conditional only on performing service through the vesting dates, termination of service causes forfeiture of options, employees have a limited number of days to exercise options after termination of service, and options are non-transferable.
 
*** Forfeiture range represents 0% for directors and 21% for employees.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options at December 31, 2014 and the options exercised during 2014 were $-0- and $7,605, respectively, which represents options whose exercise price was less than the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2014 of $0.32.
