Equity [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Stock-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 5,236,000 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 equity compensation 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 stock 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 accounts for the issuance of stock-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based compensation payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This pronouncement establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for stock-based compensation payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for all stock-based compensation payment transactions with employees. All stock-based compensation is included in operating expenses as follows:

Stock Options The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the options on the grant date. The table below presents the weighted average expected life of the stock options in years. The Company uses the simplified method for all restricted stock units and stock options to estimate the expected life of the option and assumes that stock options will be exercised evenly over the period from vesting until the awards expire. Volatility is determined using changes in historical stock prices. The interest rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the grant date. Options, generally, vest from one year to four years. The compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis, reduced by forfeitures as they occur. Certain option awards are classified as liability awards. The fair value of these awards are determined at each reporting period utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the associated compensation expense (credit) for the reporting period is recorded. The Company decreased stock-based compensation expense by approximately $(4) for the three-months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of the change in fair value of these awards. The Company increased stock-based compensation expense by approximately $40 for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the change in fair value of these awards. Stock option activity under the 2015 Plan during the period indicated below is as follows:
| Number of Shares Subject to Issuance |  | Weighted- average Exercise Price |  | Weighted- average Remaining Contractual Term |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2023 | 1,152,714 |  | $ | 3.07 |  |  | 3.18 years |  | $ | 38 |
Granted | 519,750 |  | 1.92 |  |  | – |  |  | – |
Forfeited, cancelled, or expired | (184,582) |  | 2.68 |  |  | – |  |  | – |
Outstanding at March 31, 2024 | 1,487,882 |  | $ | 2.05 |  |  | 2.28 years |  | $ | 883 |
Exercisable at March 31, 2024 | 484,004 |  | $ | 3.66 |  |  | 3.28 years |  | $ | 471 |
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they all exercised their options on March 31, 2024. This amount changes based upon the fair market value of the Company’s stock. Restricted Stock Units The Company periodically 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 and employment 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, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and charged to operating expenses with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, reduced by forfeitures when they occur. Restricted stock unit activity during the period indicated below is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2023 | 60,500 |  | $ | 4.23 |
Granted | 145,144 |  | 2.04 |
Vested and settled in shares | (50,226) |  | 3.45 |
Outstanding at March 31, 2024 | 155,418 |  | $ | 2.41 |
As of March 31, 2024, there was approximately $1,399 of total unrecognized compensation costs, related to all unvested stock options and RSUs. These costs are expected to be recognized as compensation expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.42 years. The Company had 658,613 shares available for future grants under the Company's equity compensation plans at March 31, 2024.
