Note 3. Stock Option Plans and Agreements

 

The Company has approved stock options plans and agreements covering up to an aggregate of 10,096,333 shares of common stock. Such options may be designated at the time of grant as either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Stock based compensation includes expense charges related to all stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants. Such awards include common stock options.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

 

Risk-free interest rate     1.00% - 1.14%  
Expected dividend yield     0%
Expected stock price volatility     75%
Expected life of options     5.75 years  

 

The Company recorded expense for options and warrants issued to employees and independent service providers of $36,399 and $20,072 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2013, there was approximately $35,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one year. The total fair value of shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $20,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 1,500,000 common stock options to independent consultants with an average exercise price of $.15 per share. At issuance, 200,000 options immediately vested. The balance of the options vest based on each independent consultant meeting specific sales performance criteria.
