10. Fair Value Measurements

 

Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

· Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

 

· Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

· Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company reviews the valuation techniques used to determine if the fair value measurements are still appropriate on an annual basis, and evaluate and adjust the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements based on current market conditions and third party information.

 

Common stock is valued at closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

The fair value of the warrant liabilities at March 31, 2017 were valued using the Black-Scholes Merton method as an estimate for the Monte Carlos Simulation method which was the method used at the year ended December 31, 2016. The following assumptions were incorporated:

    Black Scholes     Monte Carlo  
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2017     2016  
Risk-free interest rate     0.91 %     0.70 %
Expected volatility     55 %     55 %
Expected term     0.42  year       0.67 year  
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %

 

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

 

    March 31, 2017        
    Fair Value Measurements        
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Fair Value  
Liabilities                                
Warrant liabilities (see Note 13)   $ -     $ -     $ 340,901     $ 340,901  

 

    December 31, 2016        
    Fair Value Measurements        
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Fair Value  
Liabilities                                
Warrant liabilities (see Note 13)   $ -     $ -     $ 70,785     $ 70,785  

 

The table below reflects the components effecting the change in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

 

    Level 3 Assets and Liabilities        
    For the Three  Months Ended March 31 , 2017        
     January 1,           Change in     March 31,  
    2017     Settlements     Fair Value     2017  
Liabilities:                                
Warrant liabilities (see Note 13)   $ 70,785     $ -     $ 270,116     $ 340,901  

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant includes the risk free interest rate, expected volatility, expected term and expected dividend yield. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued other expenses, other current liabilities payables and convertible promissory note as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
