In January 2015, two warrant holders amended their warrants whereby the number of warrants would be 1,000,000 each at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and certain adjustment provisions were removed. These transactions were entered into with affiliates of a member of the Company’s board of directors who was also a significant shareholder. Management determined that the affiliates surrendered rights that were significantly greater in value than the consideration exchanged by $44,230 and, accordingly, this amount was treated as a capital contribution since it was entered into with related parties. Additionally, in March 2015, a consultant surrendered a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares at common stock at an exercise price of $0.75. The fair value of the warrant on the date of surrender resulted in a gain on extinguishment of warrants of $2,233. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer purchased $195 principal amount of January 2014 15% Convertible Notes, which were purchased from another note holder, as well as warrants to purchase 260,608 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.01, which were issued in conjunction with the note purchase.
