Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $75,320 and $24,334 was recognized in our results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $141,825 and $66,505 was recognized in our results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options.

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the options.

  

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of the Company over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

 

As of June 30, 2022, there was $524,576 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.51 years.

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted, and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the six months ended June 30, 2022, are set forth in the table below.

       
    2022
Weighted average fair value of options granted   $ 4.45  
Risk-free interest rate     1.63% – 2.32%  
Volatility     204% – 214%
