ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC Topic 505-50, " Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees Stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option, whichever is more reliably measurable in accordance with ASC 505 , Stock Option Plans The Company has adopted three stock option plans, the terms of which are substantially identical. The purpose of each plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons into our development and financial success. Under each plan, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company's board of directors administers each plan. The material terms of each option which may be granted under each plan will contain the following terms: (i) that the purchase price of each share purchasable under an incentive option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, (ii) the term of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date such option is granted, and (iii) in the absence of any option vesting periods designated by the Committee at the time of grant, options shall vest and become exercisable in terms and conditions, consistent with the plan, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the grant instrument. On April 20, 2011, the Company's board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan"), to be effective on January 3, 2011.

On April 1, 2013, the Company's board of directors and majority stockholder adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Plan"), to be effective on April 1, 2013. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 900,000 shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2013 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 180,000 shares.

On May 22, 2015, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the "2015 Plan"), to be effective on May 22, 2015. Effective August 3, 2015, and as disclosed in the Company's Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the Company's majority shareholders ratified the adoption of the 2015 Plan. The Company has reserved for issuance an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2015 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Company stock that shall be subject to grants made under the 2015 Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall be 100,000 shares. As of March 31, 2016, 819,000 shares were remaining under the 2015 Plan for future issuance. On March 22, 2016 the Company granted 100,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.695 per share to an executive officer and director. The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $39,901 or $0.3990 per option. On March 22, 2016 the Company granted 46,000 ten-year stock options, which have an exercise price of $0.695 per share to a director. The aggregate fair value of these options was computed at $18,354 or $0.3990 per option. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected option term, expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors, which is subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. These amounts are estimates and thus may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015: March 31, March 31, Assumptions: 2016 2015 Expected term (years) 6.8 6.25 Expected volatility 66 % 63 % Risk-free interest rate .01% - 2.07 % .01% - 2.07 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Expected forfeiture rate 0 % 0 % The expected life is computed using the simplified method, which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The expected volatility is based on an average of similar public companies historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected term of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased. The Company recorded $17,573 and $13,734 stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 respectively. The $17,573 non-cash stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 has been recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2016 there were total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements of $142,282 to be recognized through March 2020. The grant date weighted average for fair values of options granted in 2016 is $ 0.695 per option. The intrinsic value as of March 31, 2016 was $0.
