Note 9.            Stock Warrants

 

The Company accounts for stock warrants based on the estimated fair value of the warrants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Company uses historical data among other factors to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected warrant term and the expected forfeiture rate.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for the expected term of the warrant.

 

In February 2013, the Board of Directors approved a plan to modify all Company warrants by offering any warrant holder who exercises a “replacement warrant”.  All other terms and conditions of all outstanding warrants remain unchanged.  In February and March 2013, five warrant holders exercised a total of 127,264 warrants at $1.00 and were issued a total of 127,264 shares of restricted common stock and 127,264 replacement warrants.  All of the proceeds from the exercises were used in operations.

 

The incremental fair value of $178,200 associated with the exercises and concurrent issuances of replacement warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes model was recorded as a deemed dividend to common stockholders in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity in the first quarter of 2013.  In all instances the shares and the warrants issued and sold were in a private offering transaction pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
