*At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the options outstanding and exercisable include 0 and 300,000 granted in connection with a merger that occurred in 2021, respectively, which were not granted under the 2021 Plan. The 300,000 options were exercised on a cashless basis during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Further, at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the options outstanding and exercisable include 27,500 of options granted in 2024 pursuant to a legal settlement and were not granted under the 2021 Plan.

 

Intrinsic value is based on the difference between the option exercise price and the quoted closing market price at June 30, 2026 or the date of option exercise. At June 30, 2026, intrinsic value was nil.

 

During the three and six months ended, we granted our employees and our CEO stock options with an exercise price of $2.26 and 2.87, respectively. The options granted to employees vest ratably on each grant-date anniversary over a period of four years. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the CEO’s options vested immediately on date of grant with the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) vesting in eight equal quarterly installments at the end of each calendar quarter beginning June 30, 2026.

 

Of the total options outstanding at June 30, 2026, 91,894 of the options include performance conditions. The performance-based options vest as follows: 50% vest upon the achievement of operating profit, as defined in the employment agreements, and 50% upon the achievement of a revenue target of $100 million by the end of fiscal year 2028. The performance-based options with the revenue target begin vesting once the Company achieves $15 million in revenue for a fiscal year. Vesting will occur on January 31 of each year through January 31, 2029. The number of options that vest is based on the proportionate percentage of each fiscal year’s revenue to the $100 million target. For example, if our annual revenue for fiscal year 2026 is $20 million, 20% of the stock options with the revenue performance condition will vest on January 31, 2027.

At June 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation expense for service based and performance-based options was $1,791,325 and $276,721, respectively. The unrecognized service-based expense will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years. The unrecognized expense associated with the performance-based options will be expensed when it becomes probable that the performance obligations will be met.

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 was $1.93 and $2.44, respectively.

 

The grant date fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and the following assumptions:
