Total stock-based compensation expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $1,779,000.

NOTE 3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) was approved by our stockholders. The 2015 Plan is an omnibus plan that allows for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units and performance units. As of June 30, 2019, options to purchase 2,000 shares were outstanding under the 2015 Plan and 5,000 shares were available for future grant.

The Company’s stock options typically vest on an annual or a monthly basis. Stock options generally are exercisable for up to seven years after grant, subject to continued employment or service. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.

Income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law.
