The Company reviews all outstanding warrants in accordance with the requirements of Codification 815-40-15-7, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”.  This topic provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.  The warrant agreements provide for adjustments to the exercise price for certain dilutive events, which includes an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event that the Company makes certain equity offerings in the future at a price lower than the exercise prices of the warrant instruments.  Under the provisions of Codification 815-40-15-7, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock because future equity offerings or sales of the Company’s stock are not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option on equity shares, and equity classification is therefore precluded.

  

Series K and A through E Warrants

 

The Company accounted for the Series K and A through E warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with Codification 815-10, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding. These warrants do not qualify for equity accounting and must be accounted for as a derivative liability since the Warrant Agreement provides the holder with the right, at its option, to require the Company to a cash settlement of the warrants at Black-Scholes value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Warrant Agreement.  Since the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction is not entirely within the Company's control, there exist circumstances that would require net-cash settlement of the warrants while holders of shares would not receive a cash settlement.

 

In August 2006, the Company issued 4,825,581 Series K warrants at $0.95.  In connection with the April 2007 financing and issuance of Series L and M warrants, there was a reset of the conversion price of the Series K warrants to $0.75.  The Series K warrant holders received 1,286,819 additional Series K warrants as well.  In connection with the June 2009 financing and issuance of the Series A warrants, there was a reset of the conversion price of the Series K notes and the exercise price of the Series K warrants from $0.75 to $0.40.  The Series K warrant holders received 5,348,357 additional Series K warrants as well.  In October 2011, 2,318,396 warrants held by the investors were reset from $0.40 to $0.30.  In addition, the investors were issued 772,799 warrants exercisable at $0.30 per share at an initial cost of $30,912.  This cost was accounted for as a debit to loss on derivatives and a credit to derivative liabilities.

 

In February 2012, all the Series K warrants were exercised, and the Company received $927,359 from the exercise of Series K warrants to purchase 3,091,195 of the Company’s common shares.    For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loss of $52,815 and $91,455, respectively, on Series K warrants.  For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a gain of $211,053 and $501,251, respectively, on Series K warrants.  As of March 31, 2012, all Series K warrants have been exercised and no liability is recorded.  When the warrants were exercised, the value of these warrants was converted from derivative liabilities to equity.  For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012, Series K warrants transferred to equity totaled $122,367. As of September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liability was $69,552.

 

For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loss of $330,002 and $764,926, respectively, on the Series A through E derivative instruments.

In June 2009, the Company issued 10,116,560 Series A warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share in connection with the June financing.  The cost of the warrants of $2,775,021 was recorded as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities.  As of March 31, 2012, 1,303,472 of these warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $338,903 and $260,694, respectively.

 

In July 2009, the Company issued warrants to a private investor.  The 167,500 warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.50 per share and valued at $43,550 using the Black Scholes method. The cost of the warrants was accounted for as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2012, 167,500 warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $43,550 and $33,500, respectively.

  

In September 2009, the Company received a $2,000,000 loan.  In connection with the loan, the Company issued 500,000 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $0.68 per share.  The cost of the warrants of $245,000 was recorded as a debit to discount on note payable and a credit to additional paid in capital.  This cost was amortized to interest expense when the loan was repaid.  As of March 31, 2012, 500,000 Series B warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $100,000 and $90,000, respectively.

 

In August 2009, the Company received additional financing.  In connection with the financing, the Company issued 4,850,501 Series C warrants exercisable at $0.55 per share.  The cost of the warrants of $1,455,150 was recorded as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities.  As of March 31, 2012, 4,093,169 of these warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $1,023,291 and $818,634, respectively.

 

Also in August 2009, the Company completed an offering to the original Series K investors.  Issued with an exercise price of $0.55 per share, the 541,717 Series C warrants were valued at $249,190.  The warrants were accounted for as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities.  As of March 31, 2012, 541,717 of the Series C warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $135,429 and $108,343, respectively.

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, no Series C warrants were exercised.  During the six months and three months ended March 31, 2011, 757,331 and 582,331 Series C warrants were exercised. The Company recognized a gain on exercise $232,892 and $214,007, respectively. When the warrants were exercised, the value of these warrants was converted from derivative liabilities to equity.  Series C warrants transferred to equity totaled $202,830 and $141,215, respectively.

 

In September 2009, the Company issued 4,714,284 Series D warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share in connection with a financing.  The cost of the warrants of $3,488,570 was calculated and was recorded as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. In addition, 714,286 Series E warrants were issued with an exercise price of $1.75 per share to the placement agent on the transaction.  The cost of $664,286 was accounted for as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. On September 21, 2011, all 4,714,284 Series D warrants expired.

 

As of March 31, 2012, 714,286 Series E warrants remained outstanding.  In accordance with Codification 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $64,287.

  

Series N Warrants

 

In August 2008, 2,075,084 Series N warrants were issued to two investors in connection with a financing. In June 2009, the 2,075,084 warrants were reset from $0.75 to $0.40.  The additional cost of the warrants of $123,013 was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid in capital.  In addition, the investors were issued 1,815,698 warrants exercisable at $0.40 per share at an initial cost of $404,460. The cost was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid in capital. In accordance with the requirements of Codification 815-40-15-7, effective October 1, 2009, 3,890,782 Series N warrants issued in August 2008 were determined to be subject to the requirements of this topic and were valued using the Black-Scholes formula as of October 1, 2009 at $6,186,343. The Series N warrants were recognized as a derivative liability in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated deficit and are being marked-to-market each reporting period.  In October 2011, 3,890,782 warrants held by the investors were reset from $0.40 to $0.30.  In addition, the investors were issued 1,296,927 warrants exercisable at $0.30 per share at an initial cost of $220,478.  The value of these new warrants was determined to be $220,478 and was recorded as a debit to loss on derivatives and a credit to derivative liabilities.  During the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a derivative loss of $466,895 and a gain of $155,631, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a derivative loss of $726,280 and a gain of $700,341, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the value of the remaining derivative liabilities totaled $1,504,436 and $817,063, respectively.

 

Series F and G warrants

 

On October 6, 2011, the Company sold 13,333,334 shares of its common stock, at a price per share of $0.30, in a registered direct offering to institutional investors, representing gross proceeds of $4.0 million.  Investors also received Series F warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.40 at any time prior to October 6, 2014.  The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $140,000, and issued 666,667 Series G warrants to Chardan.  Each Series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.  The Series G warrants may be exercised at any time prior to August 12, 2014 at a price of $0.40 per share. This financing triggered the reset provision for the remaining Series K and Series N warrants which resulted in the issuance of an additional 2,069,726 warrants at $0.30 and an additional 833,333 shares of common stock. The cost of additional shares issued was $250,000. This cost was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was deemed a dividend. This cost increased the net loss available to shareholders on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accounted for the Series F and Series G warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with Codification 815-40-15.  The Company determined these warrants do not qualify for equity accounting and must be accounted for as a derivative liability since the Warrant Agreement provides the holder with the right, at its option, to require the Company to a cash settlement of the warrants at Black-Scholes value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Warrant Agreement.  Since the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction is not entirely within the Company's control, there exist circumstances that would require net-cash settlement of the warrants while holders of shares would not receive a cash settlement.   In accordance with ASC 815-40-15-7, derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and revalued at the end of each reporting period through their expiration.   Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates shall be recognized as gain or loss.  The initial cost of the warrants of $2,146,667 was recorded as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2012, the value of the derivative liabilities totaled $3,293,334. The Company recorded a derivative loss for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012 of $1,146,667 and $1,526,666, respectively.

  

Series H Warrants

 

On January 26, 2012, the Company sold 16,000,000 shares of its common stock, at a price per share of $0.36, in a registered direct offering to institutional investors, representing gross proceeds of $5.76 million.  Investors also received Series H warrants to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 at any time on or after August 1, 2012 and prior to August 1, 2015.  The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $403,200.  The Company accounted for the Series H warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with Codification 815-40-15.  The accounting guidance described above relating to the Series F and G warrants was also applied to the Series H warrants.   The initial cost of the warrants of $2,400,000 was recorded as a debit to additional paid in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2012, the value of the derivative liabilities totaled $3,480,000. The Company recorded a derivative loss for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012 of $1,080,000.

 

Accounting for the Senior Convertible Notes and Redeemable Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company offered to prepay the remaining Senior Secured Convertible Notes derived from the settlement.  All investors but two holding $134,163 of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes agreed to the prepayment.  The Company paid the remaining $134,163 to the two investors on March 1, 2012, thereby completely eliminating the Senior Secured Convertible Note, satisfying the settlement and having the lien on the Company’s assets removed.

 

The accounting for the Senior Secured Convertible Notes was within the scope of ASC 815.  Under ASC 815-15-25-4 through 6 or ASC 825-10-10-1, the Company may make an irrevocable election to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value.  Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates shall be recognized as a gain or loss.  Based on the analysis of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the Company identified several embedded derivative features.  The Company elected, in accordance with ASC 825-10-10-1, to initially and subsequently carry the instrument at fair value without bifurcating the embedded derivatives.  For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $49,000 and a loss of $15,000 on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes. For the six months and three months ended March 31, 2011, no gain or loss was recorded on the Senior Secured Convertible Notes.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock falls within the scope of ASC 480 because the conversion option was considered nonsubstantive.  ASC 480-10-30-1 states, “Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments shall be measured initially at fair value.”  Therefore, immediately after initially recording Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the carrying value of the instrument in its entirety must be adjusted to fair value as of the issuance date with the difference recorded as a loss.  The Company also elected to adopt the fair value option in ASC 825.   The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was measured in its entirety and reported at fair value at each reporting date for so long as shares remained outstanding.  Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates was recognized as a gain or loss.  During the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company redeemed all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

2. Series L, M and P Warrants

 

On April 18, 2007, the Company completed a $15 million private financing.  Shares were sold at $0.75, a premium over the closing price of the previous two weeks.  The financing was accompanied by 10,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.75 and 10,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.00.  The warrants are known as Series L and Series M warrants, respectively. The warrants issued with the financing qualified for equity treatment in accordance with ASC 815-40-15. The cost of Series L and series M warrants were recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital.

  

In September 2008, 2,250,000 of the original Series L warrants were repriced at $0.56 and extended for one year to April 17, 2013.  The increase in the value of the warrants of $173,187 was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital in accordance with the original accounting for the Series L warrants.

 

In November 2011, the Company repriced 1,600,000 of the Series L warrants to $0.34. The additional cost of $86,826 was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was a deemed dividend. This cost is included in modification of warrants and increased the net loss available to shareholders on the consolidated statements of operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, 600,000 Series L warrants were exercised at a price of $0.34, and the Company received proceeds of $204,000.  As of March 31, 2012, 1,000,000 of the Series L warrants at the reduced exercise price of $0.34 and 351,669 at the original exercise price of $0.75 remained outstanding.

 

On March 12, 2010, the Company temporarily reduced the exercise price of the Series M warrants, originally issued on April 18, 2007.  The exercise price was reduced from $2.00 to $0.75. At any time prior to June 16, 2011 investors could have exercised the Series M warrants at a price of $0.75 per share.  For every two Series M warrants exercised prior to June 16, 2011 the investor would have received one Series F warrant.  Each Series F warrant would have allowed the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.50 per share at any time on or before June 15, 2014.  After June 15, 2011 the exercise price of the Series M warrants reverted back to $2.00 per share.  Any person exercising a Series M warrant after June 15, 2011 would not receive any Series F warrants.  The Series M warrants expire on April 17, 2012.  An analysis of the modification to the warrants determined that the modification increased the value of the warrants by $1,432,456. This cost was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was a deemed dividend.  This cost is included in modification of warrants and increased the net loss available to shareholders on the condensed, consolidated statements of operations.  There were no exercises of the Series M warrants at the reduced price and the exercise price of the Series M warrants reverted back to $2.00 on June 16, 2010.

 

On August 3, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the terms of the Series M warrants held by an investor.  The investor was the owner of 8,800,000 warrants priced at $2.00 per share.  The investor may now purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (reduced from 8,800,000) at a price of $0.60 per share.  An analysis of the modification to the warrants determined that the modification increased the value of the warrants by $100,000.  The adjustment was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital.  In addition, 1,221,668 Series M warrants at the original exercise price of $2.00 were outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

 

On February 1, 2011, 6,000,000 Series M warrants at a price of $0.60 per share were extended for two years.  This cost of $661,547 was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was a deemed dividend.  This cost is included in modification of warrants and increased the net loss available to shareholders on the consolidated statements of operations.
