Stock Based Compensation

16.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”) covering substantially all company employees, non-employee directors and certain other key persons.  The 2004 Plan is administered by a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors: The Management Development, Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“MDCSOC”).

Awards under the 2004 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units, performance share awards, director stock purchase rights and deferred stock units, or any combination thereof.  The terms of the awards are determined by the MDCSOC, except as otherwise specified in the 2004 Plan.  

Stock Options

Options outstanding under the 2004 Plan generally become exercisable at 33.3% per year beginning one year after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant.  Option prices from options granted under these plans must not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for determining stock option valuations.  The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which affect the calculated values.  The expected term of option exercises is derived from historical data regarding employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The risk-free rate of return is based on published U.S. Treasury rates in effect for the corresponding expected term.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price.  These factors could change in the future, which would affect the stock-based compensation expense in future periods.  

The Company recognized operating expense for non-cash stock-based compensation costs related to stock options in the amount of $49,000 and $105,000 in the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 respectively.  The Company recognized operating expense for non-cash stock-based compensation costs related to stock options in the amount of $192,000 and $283,000 in the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 respectively.  As of December 31, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options amounted to approximately $93,000.  The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years.

The Company granted 33,000 stock options in the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.  The Company granted no stock options in the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.  The Company received no cash from option exercises under its share-based payment arrangements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.  The Company received approximately $3,000 and $194,000 in cash from option exercises under its share-based payment arrangements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

The estimated fair value as of the date options were granted during the periods presented, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, is shown in the table below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan generally have been awarded by four methods, as follows:

(1)

Awards that are earned based on achieving certain individual and financial performance goals during the initial fiscal year with either a subsequent one-year service vesting period or with a one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance, provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting;

(2)

Awards that are earned based on achieving certain revenue and operating income results with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting;  

(3)

Awards to non-management members of the Company’s Board of Directors with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the service of the non-management member of the Board of Directors has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting, and

(4)

Awards that are granted with a one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting, including restricted stock units granted as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 and Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

The grant date fair value associated with granted restricted stock is calculated in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date authorized by the Company’s MDCSOC, multiplied by the number of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards expected to be issued and vested and is amortized over the combined performance and service periods.  The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, was $123,000 and $188,000, respectively. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2018 was $89,000 and $144,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is approximately $153,000. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.2 years.

A summary of the status of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards outstanding at December 31, 2019 is presented in the table below.

Performance Stock Units

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) as part of the Fiscal Year 2020 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.  The Performance Measures were defined by the Committee as a specific target level of Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation for each of the following: fiscal year 2020, fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022.  Up to one-third of the PSUs can be earned each year, determined based upon actual performance levels achieved in that year. One half of the award earned each year is based upon the achievement of the two Performance Targets in that year, provided that a minimum level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation is achieved for that year.  The actual award level for each year can range from 50% to 150% (for Revenue Target) or 75% to 200% (for Operating Income Target) of the target awards depending on actual performance levels achieved in each year compared to that year’s target. If Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation is less than 75% of the targeted Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation for the year, then no PSU’s will vest for that year and the PSU’s vesting that year will expire.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees PSUs as part of the Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, up to one-third of which could be earned in plan year 2019 (October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019), fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 upon the achievement of a specific target level of Revenue and a threshold and specific target level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation.  For plan year 2019, actual Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation did not meet the plan year 2019 targets, resulting in the forfeiture of PSU’s vesting in plan year 2019.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees PSUs as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, up to one-third of which could be earned in fiscal 2018, fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020 upon the achievement of a specific target level of Revenue and a threshold and specific target level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation.  For fiscal year 2019, actual Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation did not meet the fiscal 2019 targets, resulting in the forfeiture of PSU’s vesting in fiscal 2019.

The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for PSU’s issued under the Company’s Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was fully reversed in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, because, at this time, the Company estimates that the level of actual performance, as measured against the Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation target levels for fiscal year 2020, will be less than 75%, of the threshold performance level required for the vesting of these awards in fiscal 2020. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for these PSU awards for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 was $2,000 and $67,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to these PSU awards is approximately $144,000. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the MDCSOC granted PSUs to the Company’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer in lieu of a portion of his cash compensation.  During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded expense related to these PSU’s of $7,000.

A summary of the status of the PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2019 is presented in the table below.

Board of Directors Fees

 

The Company’s Board of Directors’ fees are typically payable in cash on September 1, December 1, March 1, and June 1 of each fiscal year; however, under the Company’s 2004 Plan each director can elect to receive stock in lieu of cash on a calendar year election. Each of the Company’s Directors elected a combination of cash and stock for calendar year of 2019.  During the first half of fiscal year 2020, the Company issued 19,225 shares to its directors and recorded expense of $86,000.
