Stock Options

 

The Company has computed the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There is currently no public trading market for the shares of AWLD common stock underlying the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). Accordingly, the fair value of the AWLD common stock was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of AWLD equity securities. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The expected term of options granted to consultants represents the contractual term, whereas the expected term of options granted to employees and directors was estimated based upon the “simplified” method for “plain-vanilla” options. Given that the Company’s shares are not publicly traded, the Company developed an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the options. The Company estimated forfeitures related to options at an annual rate of 5% for options outstanding at March 31, 2016.

 

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $149,987 and $232,736, respectively, related to stock option grants, which is reflected as general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2016, there was $1,791,863 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock option grants that will be amortized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years, of which $366,926 of unrecognized expense is subject to non-employee mark-to-market adjustments.
