Valuation — Methodology and Significant Inputs Assumptions

 

Fair values for the Company’s derivatives and financial instruments are estimated by utilizing valuation models that consider current and expected stock prices, volatility, dividends, market interest rates, forward yield curves and discount rates.  Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to significant estimates that may change in the future. The methods and significant inputs and assumptions utilized in estimating the fair value of the Warrant Liabilities, 2013 SPA Option and Convertible Notes as of the December 31, 2012 balance sheet date, February 22, 2013 Amendment and Waiver Agreement date and the March 31, 2013 balance sheet date are discussed below. Each of the measurements is considered a Level 3 measurement as a result of at least one significant unobservable input.

 

2011 Warrants

 

A Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, with dilution effects, was utilized to estimate the fair value of the 2011 Warrants as of December 31, 2012, February 22, 2013, and March 31, 2013. This model is widely used in estimating value of European options dependent upon a non-paying dividend stock and fixed inputs. This model is subject to the significant assumptions discussed below and requires the following key inputs with respect to the Company and/or instrument:

2013 SPA Option

 

The 2013 SPA option, upon exercise, allows the investor to purchase one share of common stock and one common stock warrant. The option was valued using multiple valuation models, including a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, with dilution effects, to estimate the fair value of the option to purchase the common share, and a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the estimated fair value of the warrant that would be issued at the time of exercise. These models were used to estimate the fair value of the option at February 22, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

 

A Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, with dilution effects, was also utilized to estimate the fair value of the 2013 SPA Option as of February 22, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

2011 Convertible Notes

 

A binomial lattice model was utilized to estimate the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2012, February 22, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The binomial model considers the key features of the Convertible Notes, as noted above, and is subject to the significant assumptions discussed below. First, a discrete simulation of the Company’s stock price, without effects of dilution due to the conversion feature, was conducted at each node and throughout the expected life of the instrument. Second, a discrete simulation of the Company’s stock price, with effects of dilution due to the conversion feature, was conducted at each node and throughout the expected life of the instrument. Third, based upon the simulated stock price with dilution effect, an analysis of the higher position of a conversion position, redemption position, or holding position (i.e. fair value of the respective future nodes value discounted using the applicable discount rate) was conducted relative to each node until a final fair value of the instrument is conducted at the node representing the measurement date. This model requires the following key inputs with respect to the Company and/or instrument:

The following are significant assumptions utilized in developing the inputs:

 

·                  The Company’s common stock shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and, accordingly, the stock price input is based upon bid prices as of the valuation dates due to the extremely thin trading volume, broker-driven market (vs. exchange market) and the wide bid/ask spread as of the valuation date;

 

·                  The expected future stock prices of the Company’s stock were modeled to include the effect of dilution upon conversion of the instruments to shares of common stock;

 

·                  Stock volatility was estimated by considering (i) the annualized monthly volatility of the Company’s stock price during the historical period preceding the respective valuation dates and measured over a period corresponding to the remaining life of the instruments (monthly data set is more relevant given the extremely thin trading volume of the Company’s common stock) and (ii) the annualized daily volatility of comparable companies’ stock price during the historical period preceding the respective valuation dates and measured over a period corresponding to the remaining life of the instrument. Historic prices of the Company and comparable companies’ common stock were used to estimate volatility as the Company did not have traded options as of the valuation dates;

 

·                  Based upon the Company’s historical operations and management’s expectations for the foreseeable future, the Company’s stock was assumed to be a non-dividend-paying stock;

 

·                  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect as of the valuation date for the expected term;

 

·                  With respect to the 2011 Convertible Notes, 2012 Convertible Notes and Third Tranche Convertible Notes, the Company is expected to pay all accrued interest due to the Holders on each Interest Payment Date;

 

·                  With respect to the 2011 Convertible Notes, 2012 Convertible Notes and Third Tranche Convertible Notes, based upon management’s expectations for a change of control or fundamental transaction to occur prior to the maturity date of the 2011 Convertible Notes, 2012 Convertible Notes and Third Tranche Convertible Notes, a low probability of a forced redemption;

 

·                  Upon a change of control redemption, the change of control redemption amount shall equal to the sum of:

 

I.                the greater of:

 

(i)                                     the outstanding amount of the debt divided by the Conversion Price on the date of the mandatory default amount is either (A) demanded or (B) paid in full, whichever has a lower conversion price, multiplied by the VWAP of the date of the mandatory default amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full, whichever has higher VWAP, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, or

 

(ii)                                  130% of the outstanding principal amount of the debt, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest, and

 

II.           all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due under the various agreements covering issuance of the debt.

 

Additionally, it is assumed that no amounts are due pursuant to clause (II) above in any period and that the stock price at each respective node represents a reasonable approximation of the VWAP requirements.

 

The changes in fair value between reporting periods are related to the changes in the price of the Company’s common stock as of the measurement dates, the volatility of the Company’s common stock during the remaining term of the instrument, changes in the conversion price and effective discount rate.
