Notes to Financial Statements  
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]
Note G — Stock-Based Compensation
 
We maintain stock incentive plans for the benefit of certain officers, directors, and employees. Our stock incentive plans provide for the ability to issue stock options, cash stock appreciation rights, performance stock units, phantom stock units and cash performance stock units. Our cash stock appreciation rights, phantom stock units and cash performance stock units settle solely in cash and are treated as the current liability, which are adjusted each reporting period based on changes in our stock price.
 
Compensation expense for stock-based awards is based on the fair values of the awards on the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire award in the “Labor” line of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We recognized 
$0.8
 million and
$1.1
 million of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended
December 31, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
 
In
May 
2013,
our stockholders approved the
2013
Omnibus Incentive Plan (
“2013
Plan”), pursuant to which we
may
issue up to
500,000
shares of stock-based awards to directors, employees, and consultants, as adjusted for the reverse stock split. The
2013
Plan replaced the stockholder-approved
2005
Omnibus Incentive Plan (
“2005
Plan”), pursuant to which we issued equity securities to directors, officers, and key employees. 
No
additional stock-based awards will be granted under the
2005
Plan, but awards previously granted under the
2005
Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms. In
August 2018,
we filed a Form S-
8
to increase the total registered shares under
2013
Plan to
553,673
shares. As of
December 31, 2020
and
2019
, there were
20.7
 thousand and
18.0
thousand shares available for grant under the
2013
Plan.
 
We recently established our
2020
Equity Incentive Plan (the
"2020
Plan") which has taken the place of the 
2015
 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“2015
Plan”). Any shares of common stock that remain eligible for issuance under the
2015
 Plan are now eligible for issuance under the
2020
Plan.   In
August 2020,
we filed a Form S-
8
to register up to an aggregate of
2,521,244
shares that
may
be issued under the
2020
Plan.  The
2020
 Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to directors, employees and consultants.
No
additional stock-based awards will be granted under the
2013
plan, but awards previously granted under the
2013
Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms.  As of
December 31, 2020,
there were 
2
million shares available for grant under the
2020
Plan.
 
We granted equity awards to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in
2020
and
2019
, as a material inducement for acceptance of such positions. These options, restricted stock, and performance unit awards were
not
issued under the
2020
Plan and were
not
 submitted for stockholder approval.
 
Stock Options
 
Options granted under the
2020
 Plan,
2013
Plan or as inducement awards have an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date. These options become exercisable in
25%
increments on the
first
four
anniversaries of their date of grant and expire on the
tenth
anniversary of their date of grant.  There were 
no
options outstanding under the 
2020
plan as of 
December 31, 2020.
 
Options to purchase
56
 thousand shares granted under
2013
Plan awards were outstanding at
December 31, 2020
, with exercise prices ranging from
$1.57
to
$115.2
 per share. There were 
no
inducement award options outstanding at
December 31, 2020
.  
 
Options under the
2005
Plan were granted at exercise prices equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date. All such awards have met their respective vesting dates. Options to purchase
32
 thousand shares were outstanding under the
2005
Plan as of
December 31, 2020
, with exercise prices ranging from
$76.8
 to
$184.65
 per share.  
 
Options granted to officers after
April 2015
vest in full upon a change in control if such options are
not
assumed or replaced by a publicly traded successor with an equivalent award (as defined in such officers' change in control severance agreements).

The aggregate intrinsic value at year end in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value that would have been received by the option holders if all of the in-the-money options were exercised on
December 31, 2020
. The pre-tax intrinsic value is the difference between the closing price of our common stock on
December 31, 2020
and the exercise price for each in-the-money option. This value fluctuates with the changes in the price of our common stock.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model based on the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants during
2020
and
2019
:
 
   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2020
   
2019
 
Expected term (in years)
   
     
5.50
 
Expected stock price volatility
   
     
40.53
%
Risk-free interest rate
   
     
1.86
%
 
Expected term is estimated using the simplified method, which takes into account vesting and contractual term. The simplified method is being used to calculate expected term instead of historical experience due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting from changes in option vesting schedules and changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded shares of our stock over the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate of a
zero
-coupon U.S. Treasury instrument with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term.
 
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 
2019
was
$1.67.
No
options were granted during
2020.
  As of
December 31, 2020
, there was
$23
thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
1.74
years.
 
Cash Stock Appreciation Rights
 
In
2016
and
2017,
the Board approved grants of cash settling stock appreciation rights under the
2013
Plan. Cash stock appreciation rights vest in
25%
increments on the
first
four
anniversaries of the date of grant and expire after
10
years. Cash stock appreciation rights settle solely in cash and are treated as a liability.

The fair value of each cash stock appreciation right is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model and is revalued at the end of each period. Changes in fair value are recorded to the income statement as changes to expense. As of
December 31, 2020
, there was
no
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested cash stock appreciation right grants.
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
Restricted stock units granted as inducement awards or under the
2020
Plan and
2013
Plan vest in
three
equal increments on the
first
three
anniversaries of their date of grant. Restricted stock units settle in treasury stock and are treated as equity. Outstanding restricted stock units granted to officers as inducement awards or under the
2013
Plan vest in full (to the extent
not
previously vested) upon a change in control if such unvested shares are
not
assumed or replaced by a publicly-traded successor with an equivalent award (as such terms are defined in such officers' change-in-control severance agreements).

, there was
$1.4
 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
2.03
 years.
 
Phantom Stock Units
 
In
2016
and
2017,
the Board approved grants of phantom stock units under the
2013
Plan. Phantom stock units vest in
25%
increments on the
first
four
anniversaries of the date of grant. Phantom stock units settle solely in cash and are treated as a liability. Grants of phantom stock units made to officers under the
2013
Plan vest in full (to the extent
not
previously vested) upon a change in control if they are
not
assumed or replaced by a publicly-traded successor with an equivalent award (as such terms are defined in such officers' change-in-control severance agreements).

The fair value of each phantom stock unit is estimated on the date of grant as the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Changes in our stock price will result in adjustments to compensation expense and the corresponding liability over the applicable service period. As of
December 31, 2020
, there was
$10
 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to phantom stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
0.48
 years.
 
Performance Stock Units
 
Under the
2020
Plan and
2013
Plan and grants of inducement awards, performance stock units are a form of share-based award similar to unvested shares, except that the number of shares ultimately issued is based on our performance against specific performance goals over a roughly
three
-year period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of stock issued will be determined in accordance with the specified performance target(s) in a range between
0%
and
100%.
 Performance stock units vest solely in common stock and are treated as equity. Upon a change in control, performance stock units granted to officers vest on a pro-rated basis (based on time elapsed from the grant) to the extent
not
previously settled if they are
not
assumed or replaced by a publicly-traded successor with an equivalent award (as such terms are defined in such officers' change-in-control severance agreements).

The fair value of each performance stock unit is estimated on the date of grant as the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, minus the present value of anticipated dividend payments. Periodic compensation expense is based on the current estimate of future performance against specific performance goals over a
three
-year period and is adjusted up or down based on those estimates. As of
December 31, 2020
, there was
$75
 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately
8.69
 years.
 
Cash Performance Stock Units
 
In
2016
and
2017,
the Board of Directors approved grants of cash performance stock units under the
2013
Plan. Cash performance stock units are a form of share-based award similar to phantom stock units, except that the number of units ultimately issued is based on our performance against specific performance goals measured after a
three
-year period. At the end of the performance period, the number of units vesting will be determined in accordance with specified performance target(s) in a range between
0%
and
100%.
 Cash performance stock units settle solely in cash and are treated as a liability. Upon a change in control, cash performance stock units granted to officers vest on a pro-rated basis (based on time elapsed from the grant) to the extent
not
previously settled if they are
not
assumed or replaced by a publicly-traded successor with an equivalent award (as such terms are defined in such officers' change-in-control severance agreements).
