STOCK OPTIONS | NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS The Company has options to purchase 11,765 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2003 Stock Option Plan. During 2013, the Board adopted a new omnibus incentive compensation plan that was ratified by the shareholders at the 2013 annual meeting, (the “2013 Plan”) which serves as the successor incentive compensation plan to the 2003 Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards of up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2013 Plan is intended to permit stock options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan to qualify as incentive stock options. All options granted under the 2013 Plan, which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, are deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options. As of March 31, 2017, under the 2013 Plan grants of restricted stock and options to purchase 3,512,500 shares of Common Stock have been issued and are unvested or unexercised, and 16,487,500 shares of Common Stock remain available for grants under the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”) which determines the persons to whom awards will be granted, the number of awards to be granted and the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the provisions of the plan. In connection with Incentive Stock Options, the exercise price of each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding more than 10% of the outstanding stock of the Company). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of the grant) of stock for which an employee may exercise Incentive Stock Options under all plans of the company shall not exceed $1,000,000 per calendar year. If any employee shall have the right to exercise any options in excess of $100,000 during any calendar year, the options in excess of $100,000 shall be deemed to be Non-Statutory Stock Options, including prices, duration, transferability and limitations on exercise. The Company issued Non-Statutory Stock Options pursuant to contractual agreements with non-employees. Options granted under the agreements are expensed when the related service or product is provided. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and judgments. On January 31, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase 225,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share, with a term of five years, to a consultant, which vest over three months. The fair value of options issued was $19,727. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 197.7%, risk-free interest rate of 1.90% and expected option life of five years. The options were revalued on February 28, 2017 and March 31, 2017 and it was determined that there was an increase in the value of the options of $2,307, which will be expensed over the remaining term of the options. On February 6, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.068 per share and options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25, with a term of five years, to a consultant, which vest immediately. The fair value of options issued was $32,508. These options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of the options, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 198.0%, risk-free interest rate of 1.86% and expected option life of five years. The options were expensed immediately. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 the Company expensed $51,597 and $335,828 with respect to the options. The following table summarizes the activities for our stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2017: Options Outstanding Weighted - Average Remaining Aggregate Weighted- Contractual Intrinsic Number of Average Term Value Shares Exercise Price (in years) (in 000's) (1) Balance as of December 31, 2016 3,282,647 $ 0.52 7.9 Granted 725,000 0.14 Forfeited/cancelled (50,000 ) (0.57 ) Balance March 31, 2017 3,957,647 $ 0.45 7.2 $ 29 Exercisable at March 31, 2017 3,882,647 $ 0.46 7.3 $ 26 Exercisable at March 31, 2017 and expected to vest thereafter 3,882,647 $ 0.46 7.3 $ 26 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the closing stock price of $0.12 for the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2017. The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s unvested stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2017: Unvested Options Weighted - Average Grant Number of Date Fair Shares Value (1) Balance December 31, 2016 - $ - Granted 725,000 0.07 Vested (650,000 ) (0.07 ) Cancelled/forfeited/expired - - Balance March 31, 2017 75,000 $ 0.07 As of March 31, 2017 there was $2,944 of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1 month. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from what the Company has estimated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from the Company’s expectations. The difference between the stock options exercisable at March 31, 2017 and the stock options exercisable and expected to vest relates to management’s estimate of options expected to vest in the future. The following table summarizes the activities for our warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2017: Warrants Outstanding Weighted - Average Remaining Aggregate Weighted- Contractual Intrinsic Number of Average Term Value Shares Exercise Price in years) (in 000's) (1) Balance, December 31, 2016 9,216,452 $ 1.82 3.7 $ 10 Granted 7,250,000 0.40 Balance, March 31, 2017 16,466,452 $ 1.19 4.1 $ 11 Exercisable at March 31, 2017 16,466,452 $ 1.19 4.1 $ 11 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the closing stock price of $0.12 for the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2017. All warrants were vested on the date of grant. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company expensed $0 relative to the warrants in addition to previous income or expense related to the warrant liability. |
