NOTE 5 – OPTIONS

 

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which certain employees are awarded option grants based on a combination of performance and tenure. The stock option plan provides for the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares. All options may be exercised for a period up to four 1/2 years following the grant date, after which they expire. Options are vested up to 5 years from the grant date.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, no options were issued and 10,000 options were forfeited or expired due to employee resignation. For the options not vested, the option expense reversed was $462.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant.
