The Company reviews all outstanding warrants in accordance with the requirements of ASC 815. 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. Under the provisions of ASC 815, 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.

 

In accordance with ASC 815, derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and re-valued at the end of each reporting period through expiration. Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates is recognized as a gain or loss.

 

Expiration of Derivative Liabilities

 

On December 10, 2018, 1,360,960 Series DD and 1,360,960 Series EE warrants, with an exercise price of $4.50, expired. The expiration dates of these warrants had been previously extended and such modifications were reflected in the fair value measurements of the warrants on the dates of modification.

 

On October 11, 2018, 327,729 Series S warrants, with an exercise price of $31.25, expired. The exercise price of these warrants had been previously repriced under temporarily revised terms. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and under the revised terms, 709,391 previously outstanding warrants were exercised for total proceeds of approximately $1.2 million,

 

2. Securities Purchase Agreements

 

The Company has entered into several Securities Purchase Agreements (SPAs) with Ergomed plc, one of its Clinical Research Organizations responsible for managing the Phase 3 clinical trial, to facilitate a partial payment of amounts due Ergomed. Under the Agreements, the Company issued Ergomed shares of common stock as a forbearance fee in exchange for Ergomed’s agreement to provisionally forbear collection of the payables in an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sales of the shares issued to Ergomed. Upon issuance, the Company expenses the full value of the shares as Other Non-Operating Gain/Loss and subsequently offsets the expense as amounts are realized through the sale by Ergomed and reduces accounts payable to Ergomed. Any amounts received from the sale of the shares in excess of the payables will be applied towards the satisfaction of any future amounts owed.

 

On December 31, 2018, the prior SPA expired. Pursuant to that arrangement, Ergomed returned 564,905 unsold shares for cancellation. The par value of those shares was reclassed from Common Stock to Additional Paid-In Capital on the balance sheet.

 

On January 9, 2019, the Company entered into a new SPA under which it issued Ergomed 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $1.3 million. This current SPA expires on December 31, 2019.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company decreased Accounts Payable by approximately $3.2 million and $2.8 million through the sale of 808,769 and 1,538,129 shares, respectively, by Ergomed.

 

The following table summarizes the Other Non-Operating Gains (Loss) for the nine and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 relating to these agreements:
