Note 7 - Derivative Warrant Liability

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY

 

On February 9, 2011, we issued five-year warrants to purchase 262,750 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share in conjunction with the private placement as of that date.  If we issue common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants is decreased to equal the price at which the common stock or common stock equivalents were issued.  The exercise price cannot be reduced below $9.00 per share. We determined that the potential adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants exceeded the economic dilution suffered and therefore the warrants are not to be considered indexed to our common stock and caused the warrants to be a derivative liability. Derivative financial instruments are classified as liabilities and carried at fair value at each reporting date, with changes reflected in the statements of operations.

 

On June 22, 2011, the exercise price of the warrants was reduced from $12.00 per share to $11.00 per share as a result of the issuance of the convertible debentures at a conversion price of $11.00 per share as described in Note 5. 

 

On January 24, 2012, the exercise price of the warrants was further reduced to $9.00 per share in conjunction with the private placement as described in Note 8.  As a result, we recognized the difference in the fair value of the warrants of $46,444 as of that date as an additional unrealized fair value change in the derivative gain for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  As a result of this reduction, the exercise price no longer has the potential for further adjustment, and we determined that the warrants no longer represented a derivative liability, and the remaining balance of the derivative liability was recognized as a derivative gain in the amount of $639,227.
