Note 7. Derivative Liabilities

 

Upon closing of private placements on May 22, 2015 and June 9, 2015, the Company issued 298,551 and 26,099 warrants, respectively, to purchase the same number of shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 and a five-year term to the placement agent. Upon closing of a private placement in April 2016, the Company issued 153,713 warrants to purchase the same number of shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.60 and a five-year term to the placement agent. The Company identified certain put features embedded in the warrants that potentially could result in a net cash settlement, requiring the Company to classify the warrants as a derivative liability.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016:

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended September 30, 2016:

 

    Fair Value
Measurement
Using Level 3
Inputs
 
    Total  
Balance, July 1, 2016   $ 1,322,729  
Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities     157,216  
Balance, September 30, 2016   $ 1,479,945  

  

The fair value of the derivative feature of the warrants on the issuance dates and at the balance sheet date were calculated using a binomial option model valued with the following weighted average assumptions: 

 

    September 30, 2016     June 30, 2016  
Risk free interest rate     1.01 to 1.14 %       1.01 %
Dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected volatility     65 %     39 %
Remaining term (years)     3.64 – 4.54       3.89-4.79  

 

Risk-free interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note with a similar term on the date of the grant.

 

Dividend yield: The Company uses a 0% expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends in the near future.

 

Volatility: The Company calculates the expected volatility of the stock price based on the corresponding volatility of the Company’s peer group stock price for a period consistent with the warrants’ expected term.

 

Remaining term: The Company’s remaining term is based on the remaining contractual maturity of the warrants.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company marked the derivative feature of the warrants to fair value and recorded a loss of $157,216 and a gain of $14,015, respectively, relating to the change in fair value.
