3. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We have one stock option plan which provides for annual stock option grants to non-employee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Under this plan, 12,000 options were awarded to directors during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. These options vest and become exercisable six months from the option grant date. Options outstanding and exercisable were granted at a stock option price which was not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the option was granted and no option has a term in excess of ten years. No options were granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. We recognized share based compensation expense of $0 and $5,843 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as a component of operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the stock option activity under our stock option plans was as follows:

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there was unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options of $0 and $5,843, respectively. We have a restricted stock plan that was adopted by our Board of Directors in January 2013 and approved by our stockholders in June 2013. The plan reserves up to 300,000 shares of our common stock for restricted stock awards to our executive officers, non-employee directors and other key employees. Awards granted under the plan may be stock awards or performance awards, and may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of four years. In February 2014, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President were awarded restricted stock grants consisting of 9,375 shares each. In addition, four of our independent directors were awarded restricted stock grants consisting of 1,619 shares each. The grants will vest in equal annual amounts over a four-year period. The fair value of nonvested restricted common stock awards is the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation costs for these awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis. A summary of the activity for nonvested restricted common stock awards as of March 31, 2014 is presented below:
|  | Shares |  |  | Grant Fair Value |
Balance, January 1, 2014 |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |
