Note 5 – Derivatives
 
The Company has determined that certain warrants the Company has issued contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such warrants’ respective exercise prices and these provisions could result in modification of the warrants’ exercise price based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under FASB ASC Topic No. 815 – 40. The warrants granted in connection with the issuance of the Company’s Stock Offering and 2012 Common Stock Offering, the Convertible Notes (previously issued and converted) and the placement agent warrants granted in the Company’s Stock Offering and 2012 Common Stock Offering contain anti-dilution provisions that provide for a reduction in the exercise price of such warrants in the event that future common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) is issued (or becomes contractually issuable) at a price per share (a “Lower Price”) that is less than the exercise price of such warrant at the time. The amount of any such adjustment is determined in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement and depends upon the number of shares of common stock issued (or deemed issued) at the Lower Price and the extent to which the Lower Price is less than the exercise price of the warrant at the time.

On December 19, 2012, as the result of the Share Exchange, it was determined that the floor for resetting the exercise price was met and the exercise price of certain warrants was fixed to be $0.26 (before Exchange Ratio adjustment). Therefore, these warrants were considered indexed to the Company’s stock and qualified for the scope exception under FASB ASC 815-10 allowing for a transfer from liability classification to equity classification.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, certain warrants expired or were exercised. The fair value of these warrants measured on the expiration or exercise date was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
 
The fair values of the warrants issued in the Company’s stock and Convertible Notes Offering and the warrants issued to the Company’s placement agent were recognized as derivative warrant instruments at issuance and are measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair values of these warrants using a modified binomial valuation model.
 
The fair values of the derivative warrants were calculated using a modified binomial valuation model with the following assumptions at each balance sheet date, the transfer date on December 19, 2012, and the date for the new grants in January and December 2012. (The market value of common stock, adjusted exercise price and offering price prior to the Share Exchange presented does not reflect the impact of the Share Exchange.)

The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the Treasury Bill as of the respective measurement date.
 
(3)  
Because the Company does not have adequate trading history to determine its historical trading volatility, the volatility factor was estimated by management using the historical volatilities of comparable companies in the same industry and region.
 
(4)  
Management determined the dividend yield to be 0% based upon its expectation that it will not pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
 
(5)  
Management determines the probability of future stock offering at each evaluation date.
 
(6)  
Management estimates that the range of percentages of existing shares offered in each stock offering will be 35% of the shares outstanding.
