Note 7. Warrant Liability

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the FASB eliminating an exemption to derivative treatment for certain financial instruments. As a result of adopting this guidance, warrants to purchase 1,914,586 shares of the Company’s common stock previously treated as equity pursuant to the derivative treatment exemption were no longer afforded equity treatment. These warrants have exercise prices ranging from $1.97 to $2.45 and expire in September or October 2012. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of these warrants to purchase common stock from equity to a liability, as if these warrants were a derivative liability since their date of issue. On January 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the effects of prior accounting for the warrants in the amount of $1.8 million from additional paid-in capital to accumulated deficit, and $0.1 million from additional paid-in capital to warrant liability. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions that were used to calculate fair value as of June 30, 2011 were as follows:
