Exercisable at September 30, 2022   1,113,341   $9.11    5.6   $39,440 

 

The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option. The pricing model reflects the following weighted-average assumptions for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and no stock options were issued for the three months ended September 30, 2022:

 

    
   September 30, 2021
Expected life of options (In years)   5
Expected volatility   74.96%
Risk free interest rate   0.80%
Dividend Yield   0%

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of the daily closing price of the common stock of three comparable companies and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they are incurred.

 

The Company recorded stock option-based compensation expense of $878,640 and $1,926,962 for three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The following is a summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable by exercise price as of September 30, 2022:
