Warrants
 
We recorded
$668,257
and
$1,723,396
of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on convertible notes, line of credit, deferred financing fees and for the extension of warrants set to expire during the
six
-months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2017,
respectively.
 
 
Warrants Issued Concurrently with
the Summer
2017
Unit Offering
 
During the
three
months ended
June 30, 2017,
pursuant to the terms of our Summer
2017
Unit Offering (see Note
3
), we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
238,096
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.65
per share. These warrants expire
June 20, 2022.
The relative fair value of these warrants resulted in
$125,000
recorded as a discount on our convertible notes.
 
Warrants Issued Concurrently with
the
Winter
2016
Unit Offering
 
During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017,
pursuant to the terms of our Winter
2016
Unit Offering (see Note
3
), we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
219,298
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.70
per share. These warrants expire
December 31, 2021.
The relative fair value of these warrants resulted in
$125,000
recorded as a discount on our convertible notes.
 
The Winter
2016
Unit Offering closed
January 13, 2017,
and in total we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
512,281
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.70
per share. 
 
Warran
ts Issued Concurrently with One-
Year Convertible Notes
 
On
July 8, 2016,
we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
400,000
shares of our common stock. These warrants are initially exercisable at
$0.65
per share and expire
July 8, 2021.
The fair value of warrants issued resulted in
$160,000
discount on the
one
-year convertible note. The exercise price of the stock purchase warrant
may
be adjusted downward in the event we sell our common stock or issue warrants at a lower price, other than through our
2015
Unit Offering. On
May 24, 2017,
we initiated the Summer
2017
Unit Offering offering promissory notes convertible at
$0.42
per share (see Note
3
). Since these securities were sold at less than the exercise price of the
July 8, 2016
warrants, the exercise price of the warrants were decreased from
65
to
42
cents per share, and the number of shares issuable under the warrant increased by
219,048
shares to a total of
619,048
shares. The warrants do
not
qualify for equity classification, therefore we recognize the warrants as a derivative liability. As a result, we are required to calculate the fair value at each reporting period and record the change.
 
On
December 30, 2016
we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
400,000
shares of our common stock. These warrants are initially exercisable at
$0.75
per share and expire
December 30, 2021.
The stock price on the date of grant was
$0.83.
The fair value of warrants issued resulted in
$280,000
discount on the
one
-year convertible note. The exercise price of the stock purchase warrant
may
be adjusted downward in the event we sell our common stock or issue warrants at a lower price, other than through our
2015
Unit Offering. On
May 24, 2017,
we initiated the Summer
2017
Unit Offering offering promissory notes convertible at
$0.42
per share (see Note
3
). Since these securities were sold at less than the exercise price of the
December 30, 2016
warrants, the exercise price of the warrants were decreased from
75
to
42
cents per share, and the number of shares issuable under the warrant increased by
314,285
shares to a total of
714,285
shares. The warrants do
not
qualify for equity classification, therefore we recognize the warrants as a derivative liability. As a result, we are required to calculate the fair value at each reporting period and record the change.
 
The fair value of these warrants on
June 30, 2017,
totaled
$570,595
and is recorded as a derivative liability on our balance sheet. The change in fair value for the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2017,
resulted in other income of
$56,352
and
$321,872,
respectively, recorded on our statement of operations. For the additional warrants issued when the exercise price decreased, we recognized
$228,000
of additional interest expense.

), we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
1,528,571
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.45
per share. These warrants were issued to investors and as commissions, and are set to expire
June 1, 2020.
 
During the
six

respectively, recorded as a discount on our convertible notes on our consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of expense of warrants issued for services or settlement also uses the option-pricing model. The principal assumptions we used in applying this model were as follows for the
six
-months ended
June 30:

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock.
