Common Stock At-The-Market Sales Program


On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “2020 At Market Agreement”) with a H.C. Wainwright &Co. (the “Sales Agent”) under which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,489,499 from time to time through the Sales Agent. Sales of the Company’s common stock through the Sales Agent, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will pay to the Sales Agent a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any shares of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the 2020 At Market Agreement.


Shares of common stock sold under the 2020 At Market Agreement were made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 249238), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 2, 2020, as amended, and declared effective on October 23, 2020 (the “2020 Registration Statement”), and the prospectus  included in the 2020 Registration Statement. In February 2021, 393,300 shares of Common Stock were issued and sold generating $3,382,352, excluding legal expenses. No shares remain eligible for sale under the 2020 At Market Agreement.


In February 2021, ISM converted the outstanding balance of the loan in the amount of $479,111 into 119,004 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6).


In February 2021, Nellnube converted the outstanding balance of the loan in the amount of $191,645 into 47,602 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 6).


On October 10, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $2 million of its outstanding common stock.  Under this new stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company’s management. The repurchase program may be extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The Company expects to finance the program from existing cash resources.  As of March 31, 2021, no repurchases have been made.


Stock Options


The Company adopted the 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) to order provide long-term incentives for employees and non-employees to contribute to the growth of the Company and attain specific performance goals.


The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Common Stock. The expected life of the options granted represents the period of time from date of grant to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. On March 29, 2021, 99,990 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $6.53 per option and have a five-year term with a two-year vesting period at 50% per annum. The fair value of stock options granted was $4.888 per option on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
