Note 7. Derivative Liabilities

Upon closing of the 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.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company amended the existing warrant agreements to eliminate the derivative feature. Upon execution of the revised agreements, a total of 471,697 warrants with a fair value of $2,200,219 were reclassified from liability to equity.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2017:

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

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 warrant’s expected term.

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

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company marked the derivative feature of the warrants to fair value and recorded a loss of $877,490 and $108,565, respectively, relating to the change in fair value.
