The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, which requires several estimates including an estimate of the fair value of the underlying common stock on grant date. The expected volatility was based on an average of the historical volatility of the Company. The expected term was contractual life of option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation to estimate the fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

    Year Ended  
    December 31, 2020  
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate     0.34 %
Weighted-average expected life (in years)     10  
Expected dividend yield     - %
Weighted-average expected volatility     130 %

 

Of the 465,017 options granted during 2020, 235,000  were to non-employees. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 50,000 common stock grants with a fair value of $24  thousand. The stock grants vest over three years and were valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
