Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation

(11) Share-Based Compensation

 

We follow FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, in which compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. We recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $64 and $179 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $58 and $146 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2019, there was approximately $422 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

 

Stock Options and Stock Grants

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 36,000 stock options were exercised for $16. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 63,999 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to stock option exercises for proceeds of $29.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 547,500 stock options were granted, compared to 570,500 stock options granted during the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 130,500 stock options expired compared to 188,504 for the same period in 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 48,600 stock options were forfeited compared to 31,601 for the same period in 2018. We had 3,747,400 stock options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.64 on September 30, 2019, compared to 3,415,000 stock options outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.67 on December 31, 2018.

 

No stock options were granted in the three-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018.
