Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has two Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plans that were not terminated as a result of the fiscal 2015 restructuring of the Company and spin-out and have continued as part of the operations as detailed below.

 

In fiscal 2015, the option pool pertaining to the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was adjusted for a 1 for 101 stock split due to the spin-out and restructuring plan, resulting in an authorized option pool of 18,152. Stock options typically vest over a three-year period and have a life of ten years from the date granted. As of December 31, 2015 there were 3,610 shares available for future awards under this plan.

 

In fiscal 2015, the option pool pertaining to the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) was adjusted for a 1 for 101 stock split due to the spin-out and restructuring plan, resulting in an authorized options pool of 74,257. Stock options typically vest over a three year period and have a life of ten years from the date granted. As of December 31, 2015, there were 45,673 shares available for future awards under this plan.

 

In addition, there are approximately 24,753 in options outstanding that were issued to a former CEO of the Company in fiscal 2014. These options issued are outside of the 2009 and 2012 Plans.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted 1,683 options to acquire shares of common stock to employees, directors or consultants. The grant-date fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 30, 2015 was $2.08 and was determined using the following assumptions: expected price volatility ranging between 44.9% to 50.1%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.60% to 2.20%, zero expected dividend yield, and six to ten years expected life of options. The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

 

The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day.

 

As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $12,550 of total unrecognized stock compensation expense, related to unvested stock options under the Plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of the outstanding options of less than one year. The Company recorded $3,917 in stock compensation expense to continuing operations within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss pertaining to the vesting of options in fiscal 2015.
