10. Share-based Compensation

The 2019 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, and which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination of cash and shares of common stock of the Company. The Company initially reserved a total of 57,143 shares of the Company’s common stock for awards under the 2019 Plan. Effective as of May 26, 2020 and May 3, 2021, respectively, the Board approved an increase of the number of authorized shares of common stock reserved under the 2019 Plan from 57,143 shares of common stock to 485,715 and from 485,715 shares of common stock to 571,429 shares of common stock, all of which may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options. Subject to adjustments pursuant to the 2019 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which stock options or SARs may be granted to an executive officer during any calendar year is 14,286 shares of common stock.

Schedule of Incentive Stock Option Activity 

As of September 30, 2022, vested outstanding stock options had $169 thousand intrinsic value as the exercise price is greater than the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $85 thousand of total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period. The following assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation expense for year ended September 30, 2022:

Schedule of Assumptions used in Share-based Compensation 

The Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the “simplified method” to estimate the expected term of its share-based awards. The simplified method computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.

Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted-average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage.

Restrictive stock awards

Effective as of August 1, 2022, the Company granted a restricted stock award of 84,750 shares of the Company’s common stock to the certain officers and employees, all of which shares vest in four equal installments on each of January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026.
