2020 Private Placement of Common Stock

In March 2020, our Board of Directors approved the private placement for the Company to offer and sell up to $8,000,000 of its shares common stock, par value $0.001 per share at $4.00 price per share to selected accredited investors (the “2020 Offering”). On March 27, 2020, the Company received $105,000 from and signed its first Subscription Agreement with its initial accredited investor in the 2020 Offering. The $105,000 paid by the purchaser as of March 31, 2020 has been classified as Common Stock Subscribed on the balance sheet. Common stock issuable related to this subscription agreement, along with additional investments received was issued at the initial closing on April 22, 2020 (see Note 10).

2018 Private Placement of Common Stock

In December 2018, our Board of Directors approved the private placement of up to 454,546 shares of our common stock to select accredited investors for a total amount of $5,000,000, or $11.00 per share of common stock with the right of the Board to increase the offering amount to $7,000,000 (the “Offering”). On December 26, 2018, we completed an initial closing of the Offering, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 335,910 shares of common stock, at $11.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,695,010 in cash. A portion of the proceeds from the Offering was used to repay in full approximately $2.6 million in borrowings and accrued interest under two short-term credit facilities provided by Cleveland Capital, L.P. and a shareholder. The shares offered and sold in the Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The shares were offered and sold to the accredited investors in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

Stock-based Compensation

On November 26, 2014, our board of directors approved our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on February 17, 2015. The 2014 Plan offers selected employees, directors, and consultants the opportunity to acquire our common stock, and serves to encourage such persons to remain employed by us and to attract new employees. The 2014 Plan allows for the award of stock and options, up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, includes compensation expense for stock-based options and awards granted based on the grant date fair value. For options and awards granted, expenses are amortized under the straight-line method over the expected vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations has been reduced for estimated forfeitures of options that are subject to vesting. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

At March 31, 2020, the aggregate intrinsic value of the exercisable options was $746,000.

The Company allocated stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for employee option grants and non-employee option grants as follows:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The fair value of stock options was measured at the grant date using the assumptions (annualized percentages) in the table below:

The remaining amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at March 31, 2020 relating to outstanding stock options, is approximately $1,321,000, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.44 years.
