Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Derivative Liabilities In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative liability instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Securities Purchase Agreements dated October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013 Pursuant to a series of Private Investors Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PI SPA”), on October 25, 2013 and November 8, 2013, the Company issued to certain private investors an aggregate of 12,323,668 units consisting of 12,323,668 post split shares of common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase an additional 12,323,668 post-split shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,697,100. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 per post-split share, have a term of three years, and were exercisable on a cashless basis if at any time following the nine month anniversary of the issuance date, there is not an effective registration statement covering the public resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants. The Company filed a registration statement on November 22, 2013 and such registration was declared effective on December 31, 2013. In connection with the share issuances described above, and pursuant to a placement agency letter agreement, the Company paid the placement agent cash commissions equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering, reimbursed the placement agent for its reasonable out of pocket expenses, and issued to the placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 985,893 post split shares of common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors, except the Placement Agent Warrants are immediately exercisable on a cashless basis. The cashless exercise features contained in the warrants are considered to be derivatives and the Company recorded warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company initially recorded the warrant liabilities equal to their estimated fair value of $325,891. Such amount was also recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Company is required to mark-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise features of $406. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net gain on the change in fair value of the cashless exercise feature of $14,253. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the cashless exercise features was $28,974. The fair value of the cashless exercise features was $43,227 as of December 31, 2014. Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 13, 2014 Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 13, 2014, by and between the Company and a number of private and institutional investors (the “November 2014 Private Investor SPA”), the Company issued to certain private investors 7,974,999 post split shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 11,962,501 post split shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,595,000. In addition, for each share purchased in this offering, the investors surrendered to the Company for cancellation a warrant to acquire one share of our common stock which we previously issued in a private placement transaction in November 2013. This resulted in the cancellation of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,974,999 post split shares of common stock. The common stock has a purchase price reset feature. If at any time prior to the two year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement covering the public resale of such shares, the Company sells or issues shares of common stock or securities that are convertible into common stock at a price lower than $0.20 per share, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of common stock for no additional consideration. Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives” and FASB ASC 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the purchase price reset feature in the common stock issued was not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the purchase price reset feature should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company valued the purchase price reset feature using a Monte Carlo simulation at the date of issuance, December 31, 2014, and June 30, 2015, and determined that the purchase price reset feature had no value as the calculated price of the common stock was not below $0.20 per share. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $0.30 per post-split share. Warrants to purchase 5,981,251 post-split shares of common stock were immediately exercisable. The remaining warrants to purchase 5,981,250 post-split shares of common stock became exercisable on the completion of a 1 - for - 2 reverse split of the Company's common stock in February 2015. The warrants have customary anti-dilution protections including a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment provision which are triggered in the event the Company sells or grants any additional shares of common stock, options ,warrants or other securities that are convertible into common stock at a price lower than $0.30 per share, The anti-dilution adjustment provision is not triggered by certain “exempt issuances” which among other issuances, includes the issuance of shares of common stock, options or other securities to officers, employees, directors, consultants or service providers. The warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis if at any time there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. See below. Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC 815-15, “Embedded Derivatives” and FASB ASC 815-40-15, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the full ratchet anti-dilution feature in the warrants issued were not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the full ratchet anti-dilution feature should be bifurcated from the warrants and accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company did not value the derivative liability. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. The Company’s reasons were as follows: 1. The Company’s cash position. 2. The stock price of the Company’s common stock. Under GAAP, the Company is required to mark-to-market the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company did not value the derivative liability at the date of issuance, December 31, 2014 or June 30, 2015. At such dates, the Company determined that it was highly unlikely that an equity financing would occur. Such conclusion was based upon the discussion noted above. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register the public resale of 13,956,250 of the shares of common stock issued in the November 2014 Private Investor SPA. The registration statement was declared effective on January 29, 2015. Post reverse split, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register the balance of the shares of common stock issued under the November 2014 Private Investor SPA which was declared effective on May 4, 2015. Warrants On March 9, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 575,000 shares of common stock to an independent contractor which vests 25% every three months and is exercisable at a strike price of $0.21 per share through March 8, 2020. Share based expense related to the value of the stock warrants is recorded over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period for each tranche. Stock warrants issued by the Company are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an expense of $25,657 related to the stock warrants. Issuances of Stock Options During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 0 and 75,000 stock options to new employees. The options are exercisable for a term of seven years and vest in equal installments over a three-year period commencing on the date of grant. The options are exercisable at $0.20 per share. The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant at $12,047 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate – 1.5%, expected life of options in years – 5.5, expected dividends – 0, volatility of stock price – 118%. |
