On November 22, 2013, the Company completed the closing of non-brokered private placement of 1,333 units for gross proceeds of $1,600.  Each unit was issued at a price of $1.20 per unit and consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of $1.50 per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance.
 
On December 3, 2014, the Company completed the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 732 units for gross proceeds of $2,197. Each unit was issued at a price of $3.00 per unit and consisted of one common share of the Company and one half of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company during the period ending on the day following the earlier of: (A) the day that is two years from the date of issue or (B) if at any time from the date of issue (i) the common shares trade on the Toronto Stock exchange (the “TSX”) at a price greater than CAD$5.00 per common share (subject to customary adjustments) for at least twenty-five (25) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the “Triggering Event”) and (ii) the Company elects to deliver a notice to the holder within ten (10) trading days of the Triggering Event, the day that is 30 days after such notice, in either event at a price equal to $3.60 per whole common share.

Stock option plan
 
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Company’s stock option plan.  The Compensation Committee designates eligible participants to be included under the plan and approves the number of options to be granted from time to time under the plan. On June 24, 2010, at the Company’s annual meeting, shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan Maximum Amendment”). The Plan Maximum Amendment relates to changing the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable under the stock option plan from a fixed number of 6,666 to the number of shares that represent twenty five percent (25%) of the total number of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. Based upon the current shares outstanding, a maximum of 2,730 options are authorized for issuance under the plan.  The option exercise price for all options issued under the plan is based on the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. All options vest within three years or less and are exercisable for a period of seven years(1) from the date of grant.  The stock option plan, as amended, allows the issuance of Canadian and U.S. dollar grants.  The table below outlines recognized contractor and employee expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Canadian dollar denominated options issued to contractors vest immediately and are treated as derivative liabilities. They are recorded at fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the gain or loss reported as unrealized gain (loss).
 
Upon exercise, expiration or forfeiture of those options denominated in Canadian dollars and treated as derivative liabilities the Company re-measures the derivative liability prior to exercise, expiration or forfeiture and records a gain or loss accordingly. In the case a derivative option is exercised, upon the exercise date, the Company extinguishes the derivative liability, records the cash received and the shares issued into common stock and additional paid in capital accordingly. There were no exercises of Canadian dollar denominated options treated as derivative liabilities during the three month period ended June 30, 2015. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, there were exercises of Canadian dollar denominated options treated as derivative liabilities. These exercises resulted in 10 shares being issued and cash received of $17.

Valuation assumptions
 
For the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and the six-months ended June 30, 2015, the value of options granted were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: expected dividend 0%; risk-free interest rate of 1.90% and 2.00%, respectively; expected volatility of 127% and 139%, respectively; and a 7 year expected life. The expected volatility was determined using historical volatility of our stock based on the contractual life of the award.
