The aggregate fair value of stock options granted for 1,125,000 shares of common stock for the six months ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $445,189, or $0.40 per share as of the grant date. Fair value was computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model and will result in the recognition of compensation cost ratably over the vesting period of the stock options which approximates the requisite service period. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
Expected volatility
