STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | Stock Options There were no stock options issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded stock option based compensation of $8,684 related to prior grants. As of June 30, 2018, there is $24,845 of unrecognized stock option based compensation expense that will be recognized over the next two years. Warrants As a part of the Company’s private placement, the Company effectively issued 273,333 warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2018 to the placement agents. These warrants, valued at $26,206, are exercisable for 5 years at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the valuation of these warrants include volatility of 79.39%, expected dividends of 0.0%, a discount rate of 1.50%, and expected term of 5 years. There was no financial statement accounting effect for the issuance of these warrants as their fair value has been charged to Additional Paid-in-Capital as an offering cost and was offset by a credit to Additional Paid-in-Capital for their fair value when recording the issuance of these warrants (See Note 10). In connection with a Draw Down of a convertible line of credit, as of February 20, 2018, the Company issued 407,784 common stock purchase warrants with a total value of $61,282 and each with a $0.1778 exercise price and 3 year term. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the valuation of these warrants include volatility of 82.55%, expected dividends of 0.0%, a discount rate of 1.50%, and expected term of 3 years. (See Note 5). | On August 10, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and caused the Company to adopt the Envision Solar International, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 31,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options or other awards granted under the Plan. In 2008, the Board approved the 2008 equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes 6,108,571 shares under the plan. Exercise rights may not expire more than three months after the date of termination of the employee but may expire in less time as stipulated in the individual grant notice. For disability or death, the optionee or estate will generally have up to twelve months to exercise their options. For certain options the Company may have rights of first refusal for a stipulated period of time, under a separate stock restriction agreement, whereby if the holder exercise the options and then desires to sell the underlying shares, the Company has the right to repurchase such shares at a price to which the holder has agreed to sell them to a third party. Stock Options The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC Topic 718 establishes standards surrounding the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, such as options issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plans. The Company’s stock option compensation expense was $220,084 and $442,871 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and there was $33,529 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options granted under the Company’s options plans as of December 31, 2017. This stock option expense will be recognized through March 2020. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock, expected option life and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock. From January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the Company issued 5,380,000 stock options under the plans with a total valuation of $622,109. Of these stock options, 200,000 have a 5 year term while the remaining 5,180,000 have a 10 year term. From January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, the Company issued 645,000 stock options under the plans with a total valuation of $61,632. All of these options have a 10 year term. We used the following assumptions for options granted in fiscal 2017 and 2016:
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Expected volatility |  |  | 81.05% |  |  |  | 103.59% -114.93% |
Expected term |  |  | 5 Years |  |  |  | 2.5-6.5 Years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.15% |  |  |  | 0.16% -0.50% |
Expected dividend yield |  |  | None |  |  |  | None |
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options and warrants have characteristics different from those of its traded stock, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of such stock options. The risk free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities with a term similar to the expected term. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends. Expected volatility was based on historical data for the trading of our stock on the open market. The expected lives for such grants were based on the simplified method for employees and directors. All options qualify as equity pursuant to ASC 815-40-25, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” Option activity for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 under the 2008 and 2011 Plans are as follows:
