NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As of June 30, 2021, under both the Company’s previous 2008 and current 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plans, a total of 8,337,627 shares of common stock have been issued to employees and advisors. In addition, 1.7 million restricted share units fair valued at $805 thousand with a weighted average value of $0.47 per share, have been granted but not yet issued from different Incentive Plans and Grants. Additionally, options held by advisors to purchase 210,000 shares of common stock fair valued at $96 thousand with a weighted average of $0.46 per share, that have been granted but are to be issued over a vesting period, between Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2026. Options granted and issued before the vesting period are expensed when issued.

The options are fair valued using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

	Granted in Fiscal 2022			Granted in Fiscal 2021
Expected life of options	5 years			5 years
Vested options		100	%		100	%
Risk free interest rate		1.61	%		0.68	%
Expected volatility		281	%		249	%
Expected dividend yield	Nil			Nil

The expense associated with share-based payments to employees, directors, advisors, and contractors is allocated over the vesting or service period and recognized in the Selling, general and administrative expenses (including research and development). For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s share-based expense and option-based expense shown in Selling, general and administrative expenses (including research and development) was $120 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively.
