8. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) is designed and utilized to enable the Company to provide its employees, officers, directors, consultants, and others whose past, present, and/or potential contributions to the Company have been, are, or will be important to the success of the Company, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. A total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock are eligible for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards: stock options (incentive or non-qualified), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, or cash awards. The 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors, or, at the Board’s discretion, a committee of the Board.

In addition, stock-based awards (including options, warrants, and restricted stock) previously granted under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) remain outstanding and shares of common stock may be issued to satisfy options or warrants previously granted under the 2011 Plan, although no new awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” by recognizing the fair value of stock-based compensation as an operating expense over the service period of the award or term of the corresponding contract, as applicable. Forfeitures are accounted for as a reduction of compensation cost in the period when such forfeitures occur. For stock option awards for which vesting is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance targets, the timing and amount of compensation expense recognized is based upon the Company’s projections and estimates of the relevant performance metric(s) until the time the performance obligation is satisfied. Expense for such awards is recognized only to the extent that the achievement of the specified performance target(s) has been met or is considered probable.

Total expense recognized in the current quarter and prior year quarter for all forms of stock-based compensation was approximately $0.05 million and $0.16 million, respectively. Of the current quarter expense amount, substantially all of the expense related to directors and consultants, and all of the current quarter expense was recorded as operating costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Of the prior year quarter expense amount, all of which was recorded as operating costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, approximately $0.11 million related to employees and approximately $0.05 million related to directors and consultants.

Total expense recognized in the current nine months and prior year nine months for all forms of stock-based compensation was approximately $0.67 million and $0.75 million, respectively. Of the current nine months expense amount, approximately $0.41 million related to employees and approximately $0.26 million related to directors and consultants. Approximately $0.57 million of the current nine months expense was recorded as operating costs, and approximately $0.10 million was recorded as a reduction to other income. Of the prior year nine months expense amount, all of which was recorded as operating costs, approximately $0.63 million related to employees and approximately $0.12 million related to directors and consultants.
