Equity [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity | 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Series A Convertible Preferred Stock In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the creation of a class of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $.01. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an equal number of common shares at the holder’s option, subject to adjustment for anti-dilution. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends as and if declared by the Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive all accrued dividends, if applicable, plus the liquidation price of $1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, there were no outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Stock Options and Share Based Compensation To retain and attract qualified personnel necessary for the success of the Company, the Company adopted the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) covering up to 4,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, pursuant to which officers, directors, key employees and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units. All the Plans prior to Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan have been closed. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers this Plan and determines the terms and conditions of options granted, including the exercise price. This Plan generally provides that all stock options will expire within ten years of the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under this Plan must be granted at an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value per share at the date of the grant and the exercise price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value per share at the date of the grant for grants to persons owning more than 10% of the voting stock of the Company. This Plan also entitles non-employee directors to receive grants of non-qualified stock options as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life of the options in years. The expected life computation is based on the time to option expiration. Volatility is determined using changes in historical stock prices. The interest rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair value of share-based payment units was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, 2019 |
Valuation assumptions: |  |  |  |
Grant price |  | $ | 2.68 |
Exercise price |  | $ | 2.68 |
Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 84.92 | %
Expected life (in years) |  |  | 5 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.49 | %
There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020. Stock option activity under the Plans during the periods indicated below is as follows:

The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 is $1.82. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 1,191,445 shares available for future grants under the Plans. Restricted Stock Units The Company issues Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) which are equity-based instruments that may be settled in shares of common stock of the Company. The Company issues RSUs to certain directors as compensation which vest with the passage of time. The vesting of all RSUs is contingent on continued board services. The compensation expense incurred by the Company for RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and charged to general and administrative expense with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Restricted stock unit activity under the Plans during the periods indicated below is as follows:
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2018 |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  |  | - |
Granted |  |  | 12,477 |  |  |  | 5.53 |  |  |  |  |
Vested and Settled in shares |  |  | (9,807 | ) |  |  | 5.00 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at December 31, 2019 |  |  | 2,670 |  |  | $ | 7.49 |  |  | $ | - |
Granted |  |  | 38,855 |  |  |  | 5.78 |  |  |  |  |
Vested and Settled in shares |  |  | (39,771 | ) |  |  | 5.65 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding December 31, 2020 |  |  | 1,754 |  |  | $ | 11.40 |  |  | $ | - |
Performance Stock Units On August 7, 2020, the Company issued 265,942 Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to its officers and certain employees as compensation. For these PSU agreements, 50% vest based on the Company’s market price and 50% vest based on its Adjusted EBITDA performance metric. Both the conditions are to occur over a passage of a specified time and is contingent on continued employment services. For the market condition, compensation expense is based on a Geometric Brownian Motion valuation model based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is amortized ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite period. For the performance condition, the Company reviews the probability of achieving this goal on a periodic basis. If the Company determines that it is probable that the performance criteria will be achieved, the amount of compensation cost derived for this performance metric is amortized over the anticipated service period. If these criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed. For both conditions, compensation expense is charged to selling, general and administrative and research and development expense with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.
