SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY [Abstract] |
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY The Company maintains the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Equity Plan”), which was approved by shareholders in January 2014 and became effective on April 12, 2014. Executives, eligible employees, consultants, and non-employee directors are eligible to receive options and stock grants pursuant to the 2014 Equity Plan. Pursuant to the 2014 Equity Plan, options to purchase shares of stock and stock awards can be granted with exercise prices, vesting conditions and other performance criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The Company has reserved 1.6 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Equity Plan. As of May 31, 2021, and August 30, 2020, there were 974,965 and 1,088,500 shares available for grant under the 2014 Equity Plan. The Company began awarding options and stock awards under the 2014 Equity Plan in January 2015. Prior to the effective date of the 2014 Equity Plan, the Company granted options and stock awards to eligible participants under its 2004 Incentive Plan (the “2004 Incentive Plan”), which expired on April 11, 2014. No additional awards may be granted pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Plan; however, awards outstanding as of April 11, 2014, will continue to vest and expire and may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the 2004 Incentive Plan. The following table summarizes the combined stock option activity for the 2004 Incentive Plan and 2014 Equity Plan for the nine months ended May 31, 2021: ​

​ On January 13, 2021, the six non-employee Board members were each granted 2,000 unrestricted shares of stock. The fair market value of the unrestricted shares for share-based compensation expense is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant of $11.33. There is no vesting requirement for the unrestricted stock grants and the Company recognized the full expense of $0.1 million in the month granted. During the nine months ended May 31, 2021, the Company had net settlement exercises of stock options, whereby the optionee did not pay cash for the options but instead received the number of shares equal to the difference between the exercise price and the market price on the date of exercise. Net settlement exercises during the three months ended May 31, 2021 resulted in 8,758 shares issued and 4,242 options cancelled in settlement of shares issued. Net settlement exercises during the nine months ended May 31, 2021 resulted in 24,035 shares issued and 13,465 options cancelled in settlement of shares issued. There were no net settlement exercises during the three or nine months ended May 31, 2020.
