Certain of the notes payable contain variable conversion rates and the conversion features are classified as derivative liabilities. The conversion prices are based on the market price of the Company’s common stock, at discounts of 30% - 48% to market value. At April 30, 2016 the Company has reserved 330,087,549 shares of its common stock for issuance upon the conversion of debentures.

Amortization of debt discount for the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1,606,591 and $1,013,934, respectively.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the outstanding short term Convertible Notes Payable. These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features indexed to the Company’s common stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related items at their fair values as of the inception date of the Convertible Notes Payable and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”), as a result of entering into the Convertible Notes Payable, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting date. Any change in fair value inclusive of modifications of terms will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income.

The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities at April 30, 2016 was calculated with the following average assumptions, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:

Significant Assumptions:
 
   
   
Risk free interest rate
Ranging from

%
Expected stock price volatility
 
 
281% to 434
Expected dividend payout

Expected options life in years
Ranging from
