Note 14—Warrants


In March 2006, the Company issued warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.55 per share as compensation to our then Chief Executive Officer. These warrants were still outstanding on September 30, 2013 and expire in March 2016. During March 2006, the Company issued three series (Series 1, 2 and 3) of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $2.87, $4.00, and $7.00 as compensation for certain strategic initiatives, including acquiring the services of our then Chief Executive Officer. The Series 1 warrant was exercised in 2006. Of the remaining warrants 50% (1,000,000) were owned by RSI. Pursuant to the terms of the RSI Agreement the exercise price of RSI’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the RSI Note of $263,690, to be amortized over the life of the RSI Note, (see Note 8). The Series 2 and Series 3 warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and expire in March 2016. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. On March 5, 2013, the Company and RSI entered into an agreement pursuant to which RSI exercised its warrants.   At September 30, 2013, the RSI Warrants have been fully exercised and are of no further force or effect.


The fair value of the modified warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate:

 

3.24

%

Expected term: (years)

 

6.0

 

Expected dividend yield:  

 

Expected volatility:

In October 2006, the Company issued two series of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock each at exercise prices of $12.50 and $15.00 per share to MATT in connection with the issuance of common stock. On January 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “MATT Agreement”) with MATT. Pursuant to the terms of the MATT Agreement the exercise price of MATT’s outstanding warrants was reduced to $2.75 per share. The warrant re-pricing resulted in a discount on the MATT Note of $1,341,692, to be amortized over the life of the MATT Note. These warrants expire in October 2016 and were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrant re-pricing was determined by comparing the fair value of the modified warrant with the fair value of the unmodified warrant on the modification date and recording any excess as a discount on the note. No such discount was recorded as the repriced warrants value decreased. On March 5, 2013, MATT exercised warrants to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the MATT Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable (see Note 8).   MATT agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 3013 400,002 warrants were forfeited. At September 30, 2013, MATT Warrants totaling 1,597,851 were outstanding.  


On April 29, 2013 the Company issued warrants to the lender in conjunction with a loan and security agreement with an initial aggregate exercise value of $400,000, which increases by $100,000 with the first tranche and by $150,000 with the second and third tranche draw down of the loan (see Note 8). The warrant exercise price will be the lesser of $1.96, and the price per share of the Company common stock issued in the next equity placement of the Company’s stock to occur after April 29, 2013, excluding any conversion of the March 21, 2013 Convertible Note Payable (see Note 8). The warrants expire on February 28, 2024 and include a cashless exercise provision. The aggregate exercise value of warrant is fixed at $500,000 with the initial drawn down of the Company’s loan, the exercise price of $1.96 is considered variable, and the number of warrants is a factor of the exercise value divided by the exercise price per warrant. The Company recorded the warrant as paid in capital after evaluation of the equity classification.


The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


Risk-free interest rate:

 

1.96

%

Expected term: (years)

 

10.0

 

Expected dividend yield:

 

Expected volatility:
