NOTE 14 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

As of September 30, 2025, approximately 8.6 million restricted share units (RSUs) fair valued at approximately $4.7 million with a weighted average value of $0.54 per share, have been granted but not yet issued from different Incentive Plans and Grants.

 

Additionally, options held by advisors and directors to purchase approximately 13.5 million shares of common stock fair valued at approximately $4.1 million with a weighted average of $0.31 per share, which have been granted but are to be issued over an exercise period between Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2028. Options granted and issued before the vesting period are expensed when issued.

 

The above awards include approximately 4.7 million RSUs and 4.1 million options granted to employees and directors, which consist of a vesting schedule based entirely on the attainment of either operational milestones (performance conditions) or market conditions, assuming continued employment either as an employee, or director with the Company. The performance-based awards are accounted for upon certification by the Company’s management, confirming the probability of achievement of milestones. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s management confirmed that four milestones had been achieved, and the rest were probable to be achieved by March 31, 2028.

The options are valued using a Black-Scholes Pricing Model, and Market-based RSUs are valued based on a lattice model, with the following assumptions:

Expected life of options   10 years     5 years  
Vested options     100 %     100 %
Risk-free interest rate     4.01 %     5.24 %
Expected volatility     144 %     175 %
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 six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s common stock-based compensation was approximately $1.2 million, which was accounted for in the Selling, general, and administrative expenses (including research and development). In addition, the Company capitalized common stock-based compensation of approximately $58 thousand in software development costs.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s common stock-based compensation was approximately $804 thousand, which was accounted for in the Selling, general, and administrative expenses (including research and development). In addition, the Company capitalized common stock-based compensation of approximately $63 thousand in software development costs.
