STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

 

Except as noted below, we do not have a qualified stock option plan, but have issued stock purchase warrants and stock options on a discretionary basis to employees, directors, service providers, private placement participants and outside consultants.

 

The Company utilizes ASC 718, Stock Compensation, related to accounting for share-based payments and, accordingly, records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards. The Black Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. This option pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the expected stock price volatility and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). The Company does not estimate forfeitures, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company estimated a volatility factor utilizing a weighted average of comparable published volatilities. The Company applied the simplified method to determine the expected term of all stock-based compensation grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on or approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

 

 

Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for stock options as equity awards.

 

The weighted average estimated fair value of stock option grants and the weighted average assumptions that were used in calculating such values for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 are as follows:

 

    Year Ended  
    December 31,  
    2021     2020  
             
Expected volatility     -       133.92% - 133.97 % 
Expected dividend yield     -       -  
Risk-free interest rates     -       0.29% - 0.30  %
Expected term (in years)     -       3.0  

 

A summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 is presented as follows:
