NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options
As of April 30, 2020, the Company had 67,200,000 outstanding stock options to its directors and officers (collectively, “Employee Options”) and consultants (“Non-Employee Options”).
During the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 11,000,000 and 11,000,000 Employee Options, respectively.
The fair value of the Employee Options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. For stock option grants issued during years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company lacks adequate information about the exercise behavior now and has determined the expected term assumption under the simplified method provided for under ASC 718, which averages the contractual term of the Company’s stock options of five years with the average vesting term of two and one-half years for an average of three years. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life.
During the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted Non-Employee Options of 1,200,000 and 1,200,000, respectively.
The fair value of the Non-Employee Options was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
Non-Employee Option grants that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period. Effective August 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 early using the modified retrospective transition approach. The Company determined there was no transition adjustment upon adoption of ASU 2018-07.
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the two years ended April 30, 2020 are shown below:
A summary of the activity for unvested stock options during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
The Company recorded $338,050 and $320,178 of stock-based compensation related to the issuance of Employee Options to certain officers and directors in exchange for services during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At April 30, 2020, there remained $141,642 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Employee Options granted to officers and directors, to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of the remaining eight months in the calendar year. The unvested options vest at 750,000 shares per month and are expected to be fully vested on December 31, 2020.
The Company recorded $41,326 and $92,171 of stock-based compensation related to the issuance of Non-Employee Options in exchange for services during the years ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
