The fair value of stock option grants and compensation-based warrants is estimated on the date of grant or issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Options to purchase 35,063,686 shares of common stock were issued in the year ended December 31, 2015 and 4,700,000 in the year ended 2014. The weighted average fair value of stock options issued during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 as $0.02 and $0.01, respectively.   The weighted-average assumptions used for the stock options granted and compensation-based warrants issued during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were risk-free interest rate of 1.18% and 1.13%, volatility of 114% and 175%, expected life of 5.0 years, and dividend yield of zero. The expected life of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding prior to exercise. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company's common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the stock options. The intrinsic values are based on a December 31, 2015 closing price of $0.003 per share.

 

Share-based compensation from all sources recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $133,000 and $57,000, respectively, and is reported as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  As of December 31, 2015, there is approximately $205,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based payments that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.43 years.
