STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND WARRANTS | NOTE 5 – STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND WARRANTS During 2013, the Company adopted a new incentive compensation plan (the “2013 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. On November 14, 2017, the Executive Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Executive Committee”) adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which covers the potential issuance of 13 million shares of common stock. The Plan provides that directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company will be eligible to receive equity incentives under the Plan at the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may adopt rules and regulations to carry out the terms of the Plan. The Plan terminates on November 14, 2027 unless sooner terminated. The 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). 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 first 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company expensed $123,711 and $205,969 with respect to options. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019: Risk Free Interest Rate 2.14 % Expected Volatility 424.69 % Expected Life (in years) 5.0 Dividend Yield 0 % Weighted average estimated fair value of options during the period $ 0.27 Options Outstanding Weighted - Average Aggregate Remaining Intrinsic Weighted- Contractual Value Number of Average Term (in 000’s) Shares Exercise Price (in years) (1) Balance as of December 31, 2018 18,613,529 $ 0.14 Granted 1,000,000 0.20 Balance March 31, 2019 19,613,529 $ 0.14 Exercisable at March 31, 2019 17,121,863 $ 0.13 3.6 $ 3,203 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock for options that were in-the-money at each respective period.
