NOTE 15. STOCK WARRANTS, OPTIONS AND GRANTS

 

Stock options. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we issued 112,500 and 187,500 stock options, respectively. Stock options issued to members of our Board of Directors were 75,000 and 50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock options issued to independent contractors were 37,500 and 37,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued 100,000 stock options to an employee, with a vesting period of three years.  The strike price was equal to the stock price at the date of the grant.

 

All stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were calculated to have fair values of $16,348 and $17,418, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
