NOTE 6 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

As of January 31, 2021, the Company had 62,600,000 outstanding stock options to its directors and executive officers (collectively, “Employee Options”) and consultants (“Non-Employee Options”).

 

During the nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, 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:

 

    Nine Months Ended January 31,  
    2021     2020  
Risk-free interest rate     0.35%       1.8%  
Expected volatility     97%       91%  
Expected term (years)     2.7       2.7  
Expected dividend yield     0.00%       0.00%  

 

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 nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 seven-tenths years for an average of 2.7 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 nine months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted zero and 1,200,000 Non-Employee Options, respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted zero and zero Non-Employee Options, respectively.
