c)Subsequent to balance date

 

Since the end of the financial year and the date of this report, no options have been exercised. No options have been cancelled, issued or vested between the end of the financial year and the date of this report.

 

d)Basis and assumptions used in the valuation of options

 

840,000 options (excluding free attaching placement options) were issued during the financial year and have been valued and expensed in the financial statements over the periods that they vest. The share-based payments expense for the period of A$138,012 (2021: A$826,769) relates to the fair value of options apportioned over their respective vesting periods.

 

The options issued during the current reporting period were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation methodology, as follows:

 

Date granted   Number of
options
granted
    Exercise
price
A$
    Expiry date   Risk free
interest rate
used
    Volatility
applied
    Value per
Option
A$
 
7 Feb 2022     700,000     $ 1.50     7 Feb 2025     1.39 %     95.8 %   $ 0.160  
7 Feb 2022     140,000     $ 1.10     18 Jan 2025     1.39 %     95.8 %   $ 0.184  

 

Historical volatility at the time of issue has been used as the basis for determining expected share price volatility, as it is assumed that this is an indicator of future share price performance, which may not eventuate.

Performance rights with vesting criteria based on length of service were valued using the Company’s share price on the date of grant.

Milestone  Number of
rights granted
   Share price
target
   Risk free
interest rate
used
   Volatility
applied
   Value per
Right (cents)
 
1   2,000,000   A$   1.20    0.04%   125%   67.8 
2   2,000,000   A$1.30    0.09%   125%   78.7
