The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:

 

    December 31,
    2015   2014
Average risk-free interest rates     N/A     N/A
Average expected life (in years)     N/A     N/A
Volatility     N/A     N/A

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded warrants and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its warrants. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no warrants granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
