The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model uses the assumptions listed in the table below for stock options granted in 2015. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Due to the anti- dilution provisions of some of the warrants outstanding before the January 8, 2015 transaction, the exercise price on 15,512,057 warrants was reduced to $0.35 and the number of shares of common stock into which the warrants became exercisable was adjusted such that the warrants were then exercisable into 54,400,204 shares of common stock.
 
The fair values for the Company’s derivative liabilities related to the Warrants (5 year warrants at $0.35, $0.45, and $0.64, with a full reset feature) issued is $130,028. The derivative instruments were valued as of December 31, 2015 with the following assumptions:
 
- The Holder would automatically exercise the warrants at a stock price above the exercise price with the target exercise price dropping as expiration approaches,
 
- The projected annual volatility was based on the Company’s historical volatility between 148% and 193%,
 
- An event of default would occurred 5% of the time, increasing to 0.10% per month,
 
- Dilutive/Full Reset events projected to occur based on future projected capital needs (future financings are projected going forward as of December 2015) resulting in the weighted conversion price dropping from the initial conversion price (no reset events have occurred).
 
Effective January 1, 2015 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Jeffery Consulting Group, LLC pursuant to which Jeffery Consulting will provide assistance with operational improvements including manufacturing processes, strategic and tactical advice with respect to the Company’s sales and marketing initiatives, and provide customer introductions and strategic sales opportunities. In consideration of services rendered by Jeffery Consulting, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock at $0.35 per share. The warrant vested 500,000 shares upon the mutual execution of this agreement, and 250,000 shares each at the three month, six month, and nine month anniversaries of this agreement. The fair value of the warrants issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used in the model included the historical volatility of the Company’s stock of 84.52%, and the risk- free rate for periods within the expected life of the warrant based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect of 1.07%. In 2015 the Company recognized compensation expense of $249,635. The Company also agreed to accrue $5,000 per month which becomes payable to Jeffery Consulting once the Company has raised $3 million in additional capital.

Smith III and Morris Garfinkle were issued warrants exercisable for 31,000,000 and 5,500,000 shares of common stock, respectively, in consideration of the services to be provided to the Company as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Board, respectively. The exercise price of these warrants is $0.45 per share. The fair value of the warrants issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used in the model included the historical volatility of the Company’s stock of 81.99%, and the risk- free rate for periods within the expected life of the warrant based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect of 0.85%. In 2015 the Company recognized compensation expense of $3,749,259.
