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

 

     

Nine Months Ended

September 30,

 
      2018       2017  
Risk-free interest rate     2.73% - 2.99 %     1.77% - 1.93 %
Average expected term (years)     5 years       5 years  
Expected volatility     184% -190 %     157 %-171 %
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 on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
