deferred implementation costs relate to direct and relevant costs on implementation of long-term contracts to the extent such costs can be recovered through guaranteed contract revenues .
as a result of the adoption of topic 606 deferred implementation costs are no longer capitalized but rather expensed as incurred as these costs do not relate to future performance obligations .
accordingly these costs were adjusted through opening retained earnings as of july 1 2018 -see note 3 " revenues " .
capitalized costs to obtain a contract relate to incremental costs of obtaining a contract such as sales commissions which are eligible for capitalization on contracts to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered -see note 3 " revenues " .

the company estimates the fair values of stock options using the black-scholes option-pricing model on the date of grant .
for the years ended december 31 2019 and 2018 the assumptions used in the black-scholes option pricing model which was used to estimate the grant date fair value per option were as follows : .
the risk-free interest rate is the united states treasury rate for the day of the grant having a term equal to the life of the equity instrument .
the volatility is a measure of the amount by which the company ’ s share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate ; the company used its common stock volatility along with the average of historic volatilities of comparative companies .
the dividend yield is zero as the company has not made any dividend payment and has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future .
the company determines the expected term of its stock option awards by using the simplified method which assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to average of the contractual term and the vesting period .
as of december 31 2019 total compensation cost not yet recognized related to unvested stock options was approximately $ 0 .
