NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

Our stock-based employee compensation plans described below:

 

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

We have a stock awards plan, (the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan), under which 5,000,000 shares of our authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, consultants, or to non-employee members of the Board or to any board of directors (or similar governing authority) of any affiliate of the Company. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, approved by our shareholders on May 7, 2015, replaced the previously approved stock option plan (the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan).

 

For the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2015: dividend yield of 0%; volatility of 102%; risk-free interest rate of 0.86%; and expected lives of 5.0 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $6.90 per share during 2015.

 

Summarized information for the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is as follows:

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, shares of our authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, consultants, or to non-employee members of the Board or to any board of directors (or similar governing authority) of any affiliate of the Company.

A total of 330,084 options were outstanding and exercisable under this plan at December 31, 2015.

 

For the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, the fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2015: dividend yield of 0%; volatility of 102%; risk-free interest rate of 1.41%; and expected lives of 4.6 years. The weighted average fair value of the options grants was $4.52 per share in 2015.

 

The assumptions for fiscal 2014 are: dividend yield of 0%; volatility of 102%; risk-free interest rate of 0.79%; and expected lives of 5.5 years. The weighted average fair value of the options granted was $14.50 per share in 2014.
