During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted stock options to employees and consultants to purchase a total 906,272 shares of common stock for services rendered. The options have an average exercise price of $0.26 per share, expire in five years and vest on grant date or over a period of three years from grant date. Total fair value of these options at grant date was $164,165 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model with the following average assumptions: life of 5 years; risk free interest rate of 2.56%; volatility of 184% and dividend yield of 0%.

 

The total stock compensation expense recognized relating to vesting of these stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $1,341,207. As of March 31, 2018, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $3,549,739 which is expected to be recognized as an operating expense through February 2021.

 

The fair value of share option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    3 Months Ended March 31,  
    2018     2017  
Risk-free interest rate     2.25% - 2.66 %     1.93 %
Average expected term (years)     5 years       5 years  
Expected volatility     184.45 %     160 %
Expected dividend yield     -       -  

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s current dividend rate and future expectations.
