Stock Compensation |
NOTE 12 – STOCK COMPENSATION
In January 2017, the Company implemented a stock grant program to reward and attract employees with common stock. Stock grants are offered as part of the employment offer package, to insure continuity of employment or as a reward for performance. Each of these grants requires a specific tenure of employment before the grant vests.
Stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,245,826 and $84,837, respectively based on the vesting schedule of the stock grants and options. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 558,833 shares vested and were issued to employees. No cash flow affects are anticipated for stock grants.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reserved 2,141,500 shares of common stock for issuance to employees which will vest after a period of 1, 2 or 3 years of employment. The fair value of the stock is $2,141,500 based on the average share price of $1.00. The following schedule shows stock grant activity for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The following table summarizes stock grant vesting periods.
In January 2018, the Company implemented a stock option plan to reward and attract employees and compensate vendors for services. Stock options are offered as part of an employment offer package, to insure continuity of service or as a reward for performance. The stock option plan authorizes 3,000,000 shares of common stock. 1,259,000 options have been awarded under the Plan as of December 31, 2018 and no options were awarded as of December 31, 2017. The fair value of the options is $1,126,003 using the Black-Scholes option pricing based on the estimated market value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date of $0.90, the remaining contractual term of the options of 10 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.75% and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock of 100%. There is a moderate degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate the options and the assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model are moderately judgmental. 100,000 options have vested as of December 31, 2018. The following schedule shows stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The following table summarizes stock option vesting periods.
