13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

See Note 14 – Stockholders’ Deficiency for details associated with warrants classified as derivative liabilities that were issued in connection with the sale of common stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 11 – Notes Payable – Convertible Note for warrants classified as derivative liabilities that were issued in connection with a convertible note.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company, in consideration of the amendment of certain warrants to remove the exercise price reset provision (the “Amended Warrants”), offered to issue a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 25%-27% of the number of shares underlying the amended warrant (the “Inducement Warrants”). The Inducement Warrants vest immediately, have a term of five years and an exercise price equal the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2014, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,881,418 shares of common stock were amended to remove the exercise price reset provision which resulted in the reclassification of $4,345,355 from derivative liability to additional paid in capital, which fair value was recomputed on the date of amendment. The Amended Warrants had an aggregate fair value of $1,596,685 as of the date of amendment, which represented a reduction in fair value of $2,748,670. In addition, Inducement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,626,068 shares of common stock were issued during the year ended

 

December 31, 2014 and had an issuance date fair value of an aggregate of $382,753 which was recorded as inducement expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

On December 23, 2014, the Company reclassified warrants to purchase 31,896,182 shares of common stock with a value of $914,977 from additional paid in capital to derivative liabilities as a result of the existence of a provision that provides for a cash payment to the holder equal to the value of the warrant as computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model upon a future fundamental transaction, as defined in the agreement. The Company has determined that the occurrence of a fundamental transaction is no longer under its control due to the December 23, 2014 (the date of issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock) effectiveness of the Series A Preferred Stock holder’s (the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors) waiver of his super voting rights which permitted him votes equal to five times the number of his common stock equivalents.

 

WARRANTS PAYABLE

 

See Note 9 – Accrued Expenses – Warrants Payable for details associated with warrants issued in connection with former members of Beam.

 

In connection with sales of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred issuance costs which included an obligation to issue investment banker warrants to purchase 10% of the securities sold. The warrant obligation had an aggregate fair value of $221,709 on the date of the sale of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrant obligation had a fair value of $77,735 as of December 31, 2015, which represented a reduction in fair value of $143,974, which was included within the change in fair value of warrant liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2015. See Note 14 – Stockholders’ Deficiency – Preferred Stock - Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for additional details.

 

During year ended December 31, 2014, the Company changed significant estimates used to calculate the fair value of the warrants including the term, the impact of Beam member stock sales and the impact thereof on their subsequent percentage of ownership on a prospective basis and changes to percentage of ownership on a fully-diluted basis, which resulted in a $925,500 gain on the change in fair value.
