NOTE 6 — STOCK OPTIONS
 
In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which allows for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock Units, stock bonuses and other cash and stock-based performance awards. A total of 101,005 shares of common stock have been approved and reserved for issuance under the Plan. In November 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved a 269,345 share increase in that number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan such that a total of 370,350 shares of common stock have been approved and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, 71,040 options had been granted under the Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, 51,512 options were forfeited for employees who were no longer with the Company and were returned to the pool of available options. 
 
On December 23, 2015, the Company authorized restricted stock grants under its 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan of 13,467 shares to David Clarke in connection with his appointment as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and 33,668 shares to Neal Bobrick in connection with his appointment as the Company’s Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, grants accepted and effective January 4, 2016. The Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation of $22,000 and $44,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the issuance of restricted stock. An additional $216,000 of stock-based compensation remains to be recognized over 30 months.
 
On the effective date of the Offering, 25,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to each David Olert, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Vivek Tandon, the Company’s Executive Vice President - Operations and Marc Matejka, the Company’s Vice President of Operations. Concurrently, 10,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to each of the Company’s four outside directors.
 
Also granted on the effective date of the Offering were previously approved options to acquire 16,834 and 33,668 common shares at an exercise price per share of $4.50 to David Olert and Neal Bobrick, respectively. Options to purchase 18,000 common shares at an exercise price per share of $4.50 were granted each to Vivek Tandon and Marc Matejka.
 
The Company follows the provision of the ASC Topic 718, Compensations – Stock Compensation which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock options. Stock compensation expense based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
 
No options were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2016. In 2015, the following stock option grants were made:

The Company’s Board of Directors granted options for 71,040 shares of common stock to certain employees on May 8, 2015. The option prices were determined based on such factors as recent equity transactions and other factors as deemed necessary and relevant in the circumstances. The exercise prices for options granted were set by the Company’s Board of Directors at a premium over fair market value of its commons stock at the time the grants were authorized.
 
In regards to the valuation of the Company’s common stock, the Board of Directors engaged an independent third party valuation of the Company. Factors included in the valuation included the Company’s present value of future cash flows, its capital structure, valuation of comparable companies, its existing licensing agreements and the growth prospects for its product line. These factors were incorporated into an income approach and a market approach in order to derive an overall valuation of the Company’s common stock of $5.79 per share at May 8, 2015.
 
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation method to value stock options and recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period. The expected life represents the period that the Company’s stock-based compensation awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses a simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 which averages an awards weighted average vesting period and contractual term for “plain vanilla” share options. The expected volatility was estimated by analyzing the historic volatility of similar public companies. No dividend payouts were assumed as the Company has not historically paid, and is not anticipating to pay, dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate of return reflects the weighted average interest rate offered for U.S. treasury rates over the expected life of the options.

The Company recorded negative $1,000 non-cash stock-based compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to adjusting for stock options forfeited. An additional $1,000 of stock-based compensation related to stock options remains to be amortized over 22 months.
