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 six-month period ended June 30, 2019, 505,000 options were issued, none were forfeited or expired due to employee resignation.

  

The Company uses the Black-Sholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

   2019 
Expected dividend yield   0% 
Weighted-average expected volatility   209-250% 
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate   2.08-2.55% 
Expected life of options   5-7 years 

 

Total compensation cost related to stock options was $99,990 and $88,072 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively.
