Holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to 250 votes for each share held. The Company’s common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock vote together on any matters submitted to our shareholders. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the 425,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are owned by Robert Carmichael.

Options

The Company has issued options to purchase approximately 105,971,520 shares of its common stock at an average exercise price of $0.0262 with a fair value of approximately $37,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued no options to purchase shares.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $7,200 and $290,000, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $18,000 and $520,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations) determined by application of a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: exercise price, dividend yields, risk-free interest rate, and expected annual volatility. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $1,556,400 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense related to options to purchase shares, which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The Company uses straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for time-based options. For performance-based options the Company evaluates the likelihood of a vesting qualification being met, and will establish the expense based on that evaluation. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is 5 years. The Company recognizes forfeitures and expirations as they occur. Options to purchase approximately 57,877,500 shares have vested as of June 30, 2023.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

	Six Months ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Expected volatility		172.0% - 346.4	%		172.0 – 346.4	%
Expected term		1.50 – 5.0 Years			1.5 – 5.0 Years
Risk-free interest rate		0.16% - 4.64	%		0.16% - 2.10	%
Forfeiture rate		0.17	%		0.03	%

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant.
