At September 30, 2025, the intrinsic value of the outstanding options was $0.

 

The total stock compensation expense recognized relating to the vesting of stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $566 and $100, and $816 and $529, respectively.

 

The fair value of share option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2025     2024  
Risk-free interest rate     4.46 %     4.62 %
Average expected term     5 years       5 years  
Expected volatility     144.1 %     139.2 %
Expected dividend yield     -       -  

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement corresponding with the expected term of the share option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that share option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
