NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock Options
As of October 31, 2020, the Company had 69,200,000 outstanding stock options to its directors and executive officers (collectively, “Employee Options”) and consultants (“Non-Employee Options”).
During the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 2,000,000 and 2,000,000 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 the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company lacks adequate information about the exercise behavior and therefore 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 2.5 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 six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted zero and 1,200,000 Non-Employee Options, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted zero and 1,200,000 Non-Employee Options, respectively.
A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the six months ended October 31, 2020 is shown below:
A summary of the activity for unvested stock options during the six months ended October 31, 2020 is as follows:
The Company recorded $56,059 and $93,995 of stock-based compensation expense related to the issuance of Employee Options to certain executive officers and directors in exchange for services during the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $128,376 and $210,909 during the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At October 31, 2020, there remained $35,410 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Employee Options granted to executive officers and directors, to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of the remaining two 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 $0 and $4,414 of stock-based compensation related to the issuance of Non-Employee Options in exchange for services during the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0 and 13,825 during the six months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no unvested Non-Employee Options on October 31, 2020.
