Subscription warrants
 
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on December 7, 2009 the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement for the sale of 61,333 units of securities of the Company aggregating $920,000. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Company’s common stock exercisable at $0.60 per share.  The exercise price was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. 16,667 of these warrants were cancelled in 2010.  The remaining warrants were adjusted due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 446,665 warrants outstanding. The fair value of these warrants granted, were estimated on the date of grant, and recorded as a derivative liability. The derivative was re-measured at December 31, 2010 using their reset value yielding a gain on the change in fair value of $225,579 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and a loss in fair value of $1,182,375 during the period from September 3, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the outstanding liability for the related derivative liability was $636,220 at December 31, 2010. As further disclosed in Note 5, in October 2011, the warrant holders agreed to the cancellation of their outstanding warrants in exchange for 565,000 shares of common stock.  This agreement effectively eliminated the remaining derivative liability associated with these warrants of approximately $80,000.
 
As of May 5, 2010, 3,834 additional units aggregating $57,500 were issued under a private placement.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Company’s common stock exercisable at $30.00 per share.  The related warrants issued in this place did not contain a full ratchet reset.
 
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on December 7, 2009 the Company also issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Company’s common stock exercisable at $.60 per share.  The exercise price was subject to a full ratchet reset feature. These warrants were adjusted due to a sale of common stock for cash at $3.00 per share, resulting in 100,000 warrants. The derivative for these 100,000 warrants was re-measured at December 31, 2010 yielding a derivative liability of $129,749, resulting in a gain on change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $15,589 and a loss in fair value of $1,182,375 during the period from September 3, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The outstanding liability for the related derivative liability was $129,749 at December 31, 2010. In October 2011, the Company executed an agreement with the warrant holder which eliminated the reset feature of these warrants. As a result of this agreement, the derivative liability associated with the reset is no longer present and the gain on the remaining fair value of approximately $17,500 was recognized.
 
In connection with a private offering initiated on October 24, 2012, the Company issued 525,000 shares of its common stock and issued warrants to purchase 525,000 shares of its common stock at price of $2.25 per share to two accredited investors during the period of October 24, 2012 through November 14, 2012.  The warrants expire three years from the date of issuance.  The amount allocated to the warrants based on the relative fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at approximately $308,000.
