Stock Options and Warrants
 
The Company has
two
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 was approved by the Board of Directors on
April 4, 2016.
 
The Company recognizes compensation costs 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. The fair values of option awards granted in
2020
and
2019
were estimated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model under the following assumptions:
