We compensate officers, directors, key employees and consultants with stock-based compensation under the Image Sensing Systems, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan") and the Image Sensing Systems, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"), both of which were approved by our shareholders and are administered under the supervision of our Board of Directors. Although stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are still outstanding, the 2005 Plan expired, and the Company can no longer grant options or other awards under the 2005 Plan. Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of our stock on the day before the date of grant. Generally, options vest ratably over periods of three to five years from the dates of the grant, beginning one year from the date of grant, and have a contractual term of nine to 10 years.

Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $54,000 and $38,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $104,000 and $123,000, respectively. At June 30, 2019, 193,402 shares were available for grant under the Company's 2014 Plan.

A summary of the option activity for the first six months of 2019 is as follows:

There were no options exercised and 1,000 options exercised during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and no options exercised in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 we recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options compared to $1,000 recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.

Restricted stock awards are granted under the 2014 Plan at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. We issue restricted stock awards to executive officers and key consultants. These awards may contain certain performance conditions or time-based vesting criteria. The restricted stock awards granted to executive officers vest if the various performance or time-based metrics are met. Stock-based compensation is recognized for the number of awards expected to vest at the end of the period and is expensed beginning on the grant date through the end of the vesting period. At the time of vesting of the restricted stock awards, the recipients of common stock may request to receive a net of the number of shares required for employee withholding taxes, which can be withheld up to the relevant jurisdiction's maximum statutory rate.

We also issue stock awards as a portion of the annual retainer for each director on a quarterly basis. The stock awards are fully vested at the time of issuance. Compensation expense related to any stock awards issued to employees is determined on the grant date based on the publicly-quoted fair market value of our common stock and is charged to earnings on the grant date.

The following table summarizes restricted stock award activity for the first six months of 2019:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
