For purpose of estimating the fair market value of the derivative liability, we used the Black Scholes option valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes valuation of the derivative liability at September 30, 2014 are as follows: |
|
|
| |
Stock price on the valuation date | $0.01 |
Conversion price for the debt | $0.00045 - $0.00091 |
Dividend yield | 0.00% |
Years to maturity | 0.19 – 1.50 |
Risk free rate | 0.36% - 0.02 % |
Expected volatility | 154.91% - 355.77 % |
The value of the derivative liability balance at September 30, 2014 was $16,187,664. These assumptions are subject to significant changes and market fluctuations from period to period; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liability will fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuation may be material. Based on the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the derivate liability at September 30, 2014 and assuming all lenders convert the notes payable at the September 30, 2014 conversion prices, the Company would have insufficient authorized shares of common stock to complete the debt conversions. |
|
The total gain on settlement of debt related to the conversion of notes payable into shares of our common stock was $75,056 and $95,168 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. |
