There were no options granted in 2017. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0.10. The aggregate grant date fair value of options that vested during 2017 was approximately $417 ($71,000 -2016). There were no options exercised during 2017 or 2016.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model. The Company estimated the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the grant date using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected stock option term. In March 2016, three of the Company’s senior management voluntarily cancelled an aggregate of 75,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with exercise prices of $12.00 per share, of which 41,667 of the options were unvested on the date of cancellation resulting in a reversal of previously recognized stock based compensation expense of approximately $36,000.

 

The following table shows our weighted average assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense for stock options and warrants granted during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no options or warrants granted for compensation during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Volatility     85.6 %
Expected option term     3.5 years  
Risk-free interest rate     1.3 %
Expected forfeiture rate     0.0 %
Expected dividend yield     0.0 %

 

Restricted Stock - Restricted common stock may be issued under the Company’s 2013 Plan for services to be rendered which may not be sold, transferred or pledged for such period as determined by our Compensation Committee and Management Resources. Restricted stock compensation cost is measured as the stock’s fair value based on the quoted market price at the date of grant. The restricted shares issued reduce the amount available under the employee stock option plans. Compensation cost is recognized only on restricted shares that will ultimately vest. The Company estimates the number of shares that will ultimately vest at each grant date based on historical experience and adjust compensation cost and the carrying amount of unearned compensation based on changes in those estimates over time. Restricted stock compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period which approximates the vesting period. An employee may not sell or otherwise transfer unvested shares and, in the event that employment is terminated prior to the end of the vesting period, any unvested shares are surrendered to us. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any restricted stock.

 

On January 12, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares of restricted stock to members of the Company’s management team of which 100,000 vested on May 17, 2017 and had an aggregated grant date fair value of approximately $126,000. The remaining 50,000 vested if the Company achieved adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of at least $500,000 and a stock trading price of at least $1.00 per share by the close of the fourth quarter of 2017, both of which were achieved.

 

During 2016, the Company issued 6,250 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant providing marketing services to the Company. The restricted shares vested on May 2, 2016 and had an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $6,250. In addition, during 2016 the Company issued an aggregate of 224,750 shares of restricted stock to members of the Company’s management which will vest on May 17, 2017 and had an aggregated grant date fair value of approximately $124,000.

 

The following is a summary of activity of restricted stock during the years ended at December 31, 2017 and 2016:

 

    Shares     Weighted - average Grant Date Fair Value  
Restricted shares outstanding, December 31, 2015     15,000     $ 0.88
