SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

Through 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”). The Employee Stock Option Plan and Director’s Stock Option Plan were terminated in June 2014 and December 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 our 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 June 30, 2019, 200,000 performance awards have been granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.  As of June 30, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation cost under the Former Stock Option Plans as all outstanding stock options are fully vested. The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2019 was approximately $600,000.

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the stock option plans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	2019					2018
	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at July 1,		57,000		$	1.88		57,000	$	1.88

Performance Awards

In December 2017, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted 200,000 performance awards to our employees which will generally be paid in shares of our common stock.  Whether any performance awards vest, and the amount that does vest, is tied to the completion of service periods that range from 7 months to 9.5 years at inception and the achievement of our common stock trading at certain pre-determined prices. The weighted average fair value of the performance awards granted was $4.46, calculated using the weighted average fair market value for each award, using a Monte Carlo simulation. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $33,000 and $187,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to these performance awards. On June 30, 2019, there was approximately $67,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested performance awards expected to be expensed over the weighted-average period of 3.88 years.

On July 1, 2018, it was determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors that the first of five tranches of the performance awards had been achieved and participants were awarded 40,000 shares of common stock.  Each participant elected a net issuance to cover their individual withholding taxes and therefore the Company issued 24,727 shares.

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.  Our 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, shares totaling 2,743 and 6,733, respectively, were purchased pursuant to the ESPP and allocated to participating employees based upon their contributions at weighted average prices of $8.02 and $5.60, respectively.  On a cumulative basis, since the inception of the ESPP, employees have purchased a total of 18,866 shares.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded stock compensation expense in the amount of $4,000 and $7,000, respectively, relating to the ESPP.
