The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the stock options. The ranges of assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is set forth in the table below: Summary of assumption of stock option activity Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Risk-free interest rate 0.73 % 0.021 – 1.67 Expected term in years 5.38 3.25 – 6.00 Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility 102.07 103.56 – 110.71 Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the expected term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of an award. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards. The average expected life is based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. Future stock-based compensation may significantly differ based on changes in the fair value of our Common Stock and our estimates of expected volatility and the other relevant assumptions. The following table sets forth the share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time, that were recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Summary of consolidated statement of operations Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Research and development $ 224,000 $ 455,271 $ 731,438 $ 1,087,147 General and administrative 44,000 664,544 (1,138,601 ) 2,084,953 Total $ 268,000 $ 1,119,815 $ (407,163 ) $ 3,172,100 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 On July 26, 2021, in connection with an Executive Services Consulting Agreement of the same date, the Company granted Justin Frere, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, an option to purchase up to 50,000 1.72 10 During the first half of 2021, certain individuals resigned from the Company resulting in the forfeiture and cancellation of 2,805,571 1,314,705 268,000 907,541 |
