Note 5 – Transactions Affecting Stockholders’ Equity

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50 million shares of Common Stock and 1 million shares of preferred stock, $.0005 par value (“Preferred Stock”).

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Preferred Stock authorized under our certificate of incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series. As of September 30, 2018, no shares of Preferred Stock have been issued. Our board of directors have the full authority permitted by law to establish, without further stockholder approval, one or more series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting each such series and to fix by resolution voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any. Subject to the limitation on the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that we have authority to issue under our certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is also authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, subsequent to the issue of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then-outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series is so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease will resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. We may, subject to any required stockholder approval amend from time to time our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock or to make other changes or additions to our capital structure or the terms of our capital stock.

 

2015 Equity Line of Credit

 

On July 30, 2015, we entered into a new equity line of credit agreement (the “2015 Equity Line”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP (“Dutchess”). Pursuant to the 2015 Equity Line, Dutchess committed to purchase, subject to certain restrictions and conditions, up to 3,200,000 shares of our Common Stock, over a period of 36 months from the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of shares purchased by Dutchess pursuant to the Investment Agreement.  The 2015 Equity Line of Credit expired in July 2018.

   

The 2010 Equity Compensation Plan

 

On May 5, 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan, which has been subsequently amended and restated by our stockholders (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan provides that the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2010 Plan is 3.9 million shares.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we granted 30,000 options, exercisable at $2.35 per share and subject to vesting over a three-year term, to a consultant pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Plan. For the nine month ended September 30, 2017, we granted, 600,000 options to employees, exercisable at $2.00 per share and subject to vesting over a four-year term. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options and Warrants at the date of grant. Based upon our limited historical experience, we determined the expected term of the stock option grants to be 4.5 years, calculated using the “simplified” method in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110. We use the “simplified” method since our historical data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Presented below is a summary of the terms of the grant of options. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the 30,000 stock options granted in the first quarter of Fiscal 2018 were (i) expected option life of 4.5 years, (ii) weighted average risk rate of 2.37%, (iii) dividend yield of 0% and (iv) expected volatility of 40.06%.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we issued 490,000 and 682,000 shares of common stock, respectively, upon the exercise of stock options granted under our 2010 Plan, including 250,000 shares that were issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 pursuant to a cashless exercise. At September 30, 2018, there were 519,500 stock options outstanding under the 2010 Plan and 791,159 shares available to be issued pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Plan.

 

The 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan

 

On May 5, 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan which, was has been subsequently amended and restated by our stockholders (the “2010 Directors’ Plan”). A primary purpose of the 2010 Directors’ Plan is to provide us with the ability to pay all or a portion of the fees of directors in restricted stock instead of cash. The 2010 Directors’ Plan provides that the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2010 Directors’ Plan is equal to 675,000 shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 7,474 shares and zero shares, respectively were granted to our directors under the 2010 Directors’ Plan. At September 30, 2018, there were 390,334 shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Directors’ Plan.

  

The 2018 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On April 12, 2018, our stockholders approved the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Stock Plan”). The 2018 Stock Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to eligible employees of the Company, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to eligible employees, directors and consultants. The purpose of the 2018 Stock Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain, and reward persons performing services for the Company and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. The 2018 Stock Plan provides that the total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the 2018 Stock Plan is 2.3 million shares. At September 30, 2018, all 2.3 million shares have been granted in the form of stock options to Ted Karkus, our Chief Executive Officer and no stock options have been exercised under the 2018 Stock Plan (the “CEO Option”). We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options and Warrants at the date of grant. Based upon our limited historical experience, we determined the expected term of the stock option grants to be 4.5 years, calculated using the “simplified” method in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110. We use the “simplified” method since our historical data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the 2,300,000 stock options granted in the second quarter of Fiscal 2018 were (i) expected option life of 4.5 years, (ii) weighted average risk rate of 2.42%, (iii) dividend yield of 0% and (iv) expected volatility of 40.10%.

 

The 2018 Plan requires certain proportionate adjustments to be made to stock options granted under the 2018 Plan upon the occurrence of certain events, including a special distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities, or other property). Accordingly, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, as required by the terms of the 2018 Stock Plan, adjusted the terms of the CEO Option, such that the exercise price of the CEO Option was reduced from $3.00 per share to $2.00 per share, effective as of June 5, 2018, the date the special $1.00 cash dividend was paid in order to maintain parity.
