Warrants [Text Block] | 9. Warrants The Company had 1,782,222 and 22,222 outstanding warrants to purchase common stock as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. 1,760,000 of those warrants, at June 30, 2015, are considered derivative warrants because they contain exercise-price adjustment features. The remaining 22,222 warrants that were outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 were non-derivative warrants, which expire on February 1, 2017 and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share of common stock. July 30, 2014 Warrants On July 30, 2014, we issued warrants to individuals who provided guarantees in connection with a $5,000,000 line of credit that was obtained by us on that same date. The warrants allow the warrant holders to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of our common stock for $3.15 per share, which was $0.01 per share higher than the closing market price of our common stock on July 30, 2014. The warrants vested immediately and are exercisable any time prior to their expiration on October 30, 2019. These warrants have anti-dilution provisions that could require some of the warrants' terms to change upon the occurrence of certain future events. The anti-dilution provisions could result in changes to the warrants' strike price and the number of shares that can be purchased by the warrant holders. Because the strike price is not fixed, the warrants are reported as liabilities on our balance sheet. On the date the warrants were issued, we recognized a warrant liability that was equal to the warrants' fair value of $1,420,000. A corresponding entry was made to deferred loan fees. Deferred loan fees, an asset on our balance sheet, are being amortized over the life of the line of credit agreement, which expires on June 1, 2016. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized $195,000 and $388,000, of amortization expense, respectively, on this asset. The warrant liability is adjusted to the warrants' fair value at the end of each reporting period. Increases (decreases) in the warrant liability are reported as interest expense on the Company's statement of operations. On December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, the warrants were adjusted to their estimated fair value of $1,410,000 and $872,000, respectively. The Company's statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 include unrealized gains included in interest expense of $578,000 and $538,000, respectively. The unrealized gains correspond with the decrease in the warrant liability since March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The warrants' fair value was calculated using the binomial options-pricing model. Pursuant to the terms of the relevant warrant agreements, the anti-dilution provisions are only applicable if a private offering is closed at a price below the warrant exercise price ($3.15) before a public offering is closed for at least $10,000,000. In the June 30, 2015 calculation, we assumed that there was a 25% probability that the Company would close a private stock offering in the remainder of 2015 that is not preceded by a material public offering. If the market price of the Company's stock was less than the warrants' exercise price on the date of a private stock offering, we assumed that the warrants' exercise price would be reduced, and the number of shares purchasable by warrant holders would increase, in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreements. Additional assumptions we used in our valuation calculations were as follows: June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Stock price $ 1.72 $ 2.90 Volatility 80.0 % 72.5 % Risk-free interest rate 1.32 % 1.65 % Exercise price $ 3.15 $ 3.15 Expected life (years) 4.33 4.83 Dividend yield 0 % 0 % Private stock offering % 25 % 15 % Public stock offering % 70 % 80 % Equity raise time period 3rd Quarter 2015 4th Quarter 2015 December 4, 2014 Warrants On December 4, 2014, we issued warrants to individuals who provided guarantees in connection with a $6,000,000 line of credit that was obtained by us on that same date. The warrants allow the warrant holders to purchase a total of 960,000 shares of the common stock for $2.71 per share, which was equal to the closing market price of our common stock on December 4, 2014. The warrants vested immediately and are exercisable any time prior to their expiration on December 4, 2019. These warrants have anti-dilution provisions, under which the warrants' strike price could change if certain future events occur. The anti-dilution provisions could result in changes to the warrants' strike price and the number of shares that can be purchased by the warrant holders. Because the strike price is not fixed, the warrants are reported as liabilities on our balance sheet. On the date the warrants were issued, we recognized a warrant liability that was equal to the warrants' fair value of $1,660,000. A corresponding entry was made to deferred loan fees. Deferred loan fees, an asset on our balance sheet, is being amortized over the life of the line of credit agreement, which expires on June 1, 2016.

Increases (decreases) in the warrant liability are reported as interest expense on our statement of operations.

The Company's statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 include unrealized gains included in interest expense of $651,000 and $791,000, respectively. The unrealized gains correspond with the decrease in the warrant liability since March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The warrants' fair value was calculated using the binomial options-pricing model. Pursuant to the terms of the relevant warrant agreements, the anti-dilution provisions are applicable if either a public or private offering is closed at a price below the warrant exercise price ($2.71). In the June 30, 2015 calculation, we assumed that there was a 100% probability that the Company would close a public or private stock offering in the remainder of 2015.
