Stock Options

The fair value for options granted at the time of issuance were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. Significant assumptions included in the option value model include the fair value of our common stock at the grant date, weighted average volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the forfeiture rate. There were no stock options granted in any of the periods presented.

At December 31, 2017, there was $2,383 of unrecognized compensation expense remaining related to our service-based restricted stock awards. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.3 years. All restricted stock granted prior to May 2014 vested upon our IPO and the remaining grants under the Plan vest six months after the IPO.

Stock-based compensation expense on restricted stock amounted to $3,478, $1,251 and $1,229 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Due to our limited operating history and lack of marketability, prior to our IPO, discounts of 15%, 15% and 18% were applied when estimating the stock-based compensation for restricted stock in 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Total stock-based compensation expense is included as a component of general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations and was $3,478, $1,251 and $1,229 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. An additional $2,000 of stock-based compensation expense was incurred in 2017 due to the accelerated vesting of restricted shares related to our IPO.
