Share-based Compensation [Abstract]  
4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two shareholder–approved stock-based compensation plans. The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan was adopted in 2006 (“2006 Plan”) and had options granted under it through April 12, 2016. On June 1, 2016, the shareholders ratified the IAI 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”), which had been approved by the Board of Directors on April 4, 2016.

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs only for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Generally such options vest over periods of six months to two years. There were no options granted during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017. The fair values of option awards granted in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, were estimated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:

 

    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended  
    June 30, 2018   June 30, 2018  
Risk-free interest rate   2.71% - 2.92%   2.65% - 2.92%  
Dividend yield   0%   0%  
Expected term   5 years   5 years  
Expected volatility   49.5% - 51.3%   49.0%-51.3%  

 

2016 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The 2016 Plan became effective June 1, 2016, and expires April 4, 2026. The 2016 Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. The maximum number of shares for which equity awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan is 1,000,000. Options under the 2016 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant or when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The minimum exercise price of each option is the quoted market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. At June 30, 2018, there were unexpired options for 382,000 shares issued under the 2016 Plan, of which 116,000 were exercisable.

 

2006 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The 2006 Plan became effective May 18, 2006, and expired April 12, 2016. The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of equity awards to key employees, including officers and directors. Options under the 2006 Plan were generally granted at-the-money or above, expire no later than ten years from the date of grant or within three months of when employment ceases, whichever comes first, and vest over periods determined by the Board of Directors. The number of shares subject to options available for issuance under the 2006 Plan could not exceed 1,950,000. There were 1,013,500 unexpired options remaining from the 2006 Plan at June 30, 2018, of which 1,013,500 were exercisable.

 

The status of the options issued under the foregoing option plans as of June 30, 2018, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2018, were as follows:

As of June 30, 2018, there was $23,847 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock incentive plans; that cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of six months.

Compensation expense relating to prior periods in the amount of $612 was reversed in the six months ended June 30, 2017, from options that were forfeited prior to vesting.
