The fair value of stock options vested during the periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

  September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014
     
Stock price $0.872 $0.55
Exercise Price $1.105 $0.65
Expected life 4.1 years 4.1 years
Expected volatility 67.85% 115.73%
Risk – free interest rate 1.05% 1.46%
Dividend rate 0.00% 0.00%

The Company has adopted the simplified method prescribed by the SEC in SAB Topic 14 in respect of estimating the expected term of its stock options as its limited share purchase option history does not provide a reasonable basis to estimate the expected terms. Expected volatility was determined by reference to the average volatility rates of other companies in the same industry due to the Company’s limited trading history.

Non-Employee Stock Options

In accordance with the guidance of ASC 815-40-15, stock options awarded to non-employees that are performing services for Neuro are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities once the services have been performed and the options have vested because they are considered not to be indexed to the Company’s stock due to their exercise price being denominated in a currency other than Neuro’s functional currency. Stock options awarded to non-employees that are not vested are accounted for as equity awards until the terms associated with their vesting requirements have been met.

The non-employee stock options are accounted for at their respective fair values and are summarized as follows for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2014:

Fair value of non-employee options, end of the period 361,909 723,017

The non-employee options are required to be re-valued with the change in fair value of the liability recorded as a gain or loss on the change of fair value of derivative liability and included in other items in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Loss at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the options will continue to be classified as a liability until such time as they are exercised, expire or there is an amendment to the respective agreements that renders these financial instruments to be no longer classified as a liability.

Share-based payments are classified in the Company’s Statement of Loss as follows for the period ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:
