Stock issuance:

 

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share, at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million. The placement agent received a cash commission fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds. The offering closed on March 14, 2018. The offering of the 2 million shares was made pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222098), which was originally filed with the SEC on December 15, 2017, and was declared effective by the SEC on February 16, 2018. The Company agreed in the purchase agreement that it would not issue any common stock for 60 calendar days following the closing of the offering and each of the Company's executive officers and directors agreed to a lock-up period of 60 days from the date of the purchase agreement.

 

Concurrently with the registered direct offering closed on March 14, 2018, the Company sold the investors Series "A" warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and Series "B" warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. The sale of the Series "A" warrants and Series "B" warrants is a private placement in reliance upon an exemption afforded under Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Series "A" warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018, and expire five and a half (5.5) years from the date of issuance. The Series B warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018, and expire thirteen (13) months from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends, or other similar transactions, but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares and the warrants after deducting offering expenses and placement agent fees were $2,585,091.

  

On April 26, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "S-1") to register the resale of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the Series A and B Warrants mentioned above. The S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2018.

 

The warrants are classified as equity since they qualify for exception from derivative accounting as they are considered to be indexed to the Company's own stock and require net share settlement. The fair value of the warrants of $1,074,140 is valued based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recorded as additional paid-in capital from common stock based on the relative fair value of proceeds received using the following assumptions:

 

   Series A   Series B 
Annual dividend yield   -    - 
Expected life (years)   5.5    1.08 
Risk-free interest rate   2.72%   2.16%
Expected volatility   110.31%   73.88%
