(10)      Common Stock Options and Warrants

 

The Company's Stock Option Plan states that the exercise price of each option will be granted at an amount that equals the market value at the date of grant. All options vest at a time determined at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. All options expire if not exercised within 10 years from the date of grant, unless stated otherwise by the Board of Directors upon issuance.

 

The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of options granted under the Company's stock option plan. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

During the quarter ending July 31, 2011, the Company issued stock options of 2,000,000 each to the four directors. The options were priced at $0.05 per share and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of these options was determined to be $76,741 based on the following assumptions: expected life of options of 5 years, expected volatility of 186%, risk-free interest rate of 1.6% and no dividend yield.
