Warrants issued concurrently with promissory notes
 
In conjunction with a
$225,000
investment and note issued in the principal amount of
$300,000
to Triton (see Note
5,
Convertible note payable, matures
January 11, 2019 (
Triton)
”), we issued a stock purchase warrant to Triton allowing Triton to purchase up to an aggregate
1,000,000
shares of our common stock for
$0.25
per share, expiring
October 12, 2023.
The relative fair value of this warrant totaled
$225,000
and was recorded as a discount on our convertible notes and will be amortized to interest expense through the
January 11, 2019
maturity of the note.
 
We
may
“call” the warrant if the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds
$0.50
for
10
consecutive trading days and the shares underlying the warrant are subject to an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If we call the warrant, Triton would have
30
days to exercise its rights to purchase shares under the warrant or forever forfeit such rights. If the shares underlying the warrant are
not
registered, Triton
may
exercise the warrant pursuant to a formula (a “cashless” exercise).
 
On
September 19, 2018,
pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes payable due
January 5, 2019 (
see Note
5,
Convertible Note
s
, mature
January 5, 2019
”), we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate
1,387,500
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.25
per share. These warrants expire
September 19, 2023.
We
may
“call” the warrants if the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds
$2.50
for
10
consecutive trading days and the shares underlying the warrant are subject to an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If we call the warrants, each investor would have
30
days to exercise its rights to purchase shares under the warrant or forever forfeit such rights.
 
The relative fair value of these warrants resulted in
$217,000
recorded as a discount on our consolidated balance sheet in the period issued. The discount will amortize to interest expense through the maturity date of the convertible notes.
 
On
September 12, 2018,
Vista Capital agreed to extend the maturity date of its note dated
December 18, 2017 (
See Note
5,
Convertible Note, matures
April 15, 2019 (
Vista Capital)
”).  Pursuant to our amendment of the Note extending the maturity date, we issued Vista Capital a warrant to purchase
1,812,000
shares of our common stock at
$0.25
per share. This warrant expires
September 12, 2023. 
The fair value of this warrant resulted in
$488,000
of loss on extinguishment of debt in
2018.
 
On
March 8, 2018,
we issued a warrant to purchase up to
150,000
shares of our common stock (subject to vesting) at an exercise price of
$0.35
per share to the holder of a note of the same date in the principal amount of
$50,000
(see Note
5,
Note payable, matures
March 8,
202
3
(or on demand)
”). The warrant expires
February 28, 2023.
At the end of each month,
6,250
shares vest as long as the note payable is outstanding. At
December 31, 2018,
56,250
shares had vested. The fair value the warrant totaled
$7,000
and was recorded as interest expense.
 
Reduction of Warrant Exercise Price
 
In
May 2018,
certain holders of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock received in prior unit offerings paid us cash in exchange for a reduction of the exercise price in their warrant(s). In the aggregate, we received
$149,000
from holders of
37
warrants which allow for the purchase of an aggregate
4,326,358
shares of our common stock. Exercise prices of these warrants were reduced to
$0.30.
Management determined that the appropriate accounting treatment for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants was a capital transaction rather than a contract modification treatment analogous to changes in stock option contracts. As such, the fair value was equal to the cash received totaling
$149,000.
 
Warrants Issued Concurrently with Spring
2018
Unit Offering
 
During
2018,
pursuant to the terms of our Spring
2018
Unit Offering (see Note
5,
Convertible Note, matures
April 20, 2021 (
Spring
2018
Unit Offering)
”), we issued a warrant to purchase up to
333,333
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.48
per share to the investor in the Spring
2018
Offering. The warrant expires
April 20, 2023. 
The relative fair value of the warrant resulted in
$49,000
recorded as a discount on our convertible notes on our consolidated balance sheet in the period issued. Subsequent to the issuance of this warrant, the unit price for this offering was reduced, and as a result, the Company was obligated to increase the number of shares available for purchase under the warrant from
333,333
to
400,000.
The exercise price of the warrant was concurrently reduced. The fair value of this warrant resulted in
$17,000
recorded as interest expense during the year ended
December 31, 2018.
 
The Company
may
“call” the warrants issued in the Spring
2018
Offering, requiring the holder to exercise their warrant within
30
days or forever lose the rights to do so, if the following conditions have been met: (i) the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are registered with the SEC and (ii) the Company’s common stock closes for
10
consecutive trading days at or above
two
times the exercise price.
 
Warrants Issued Concurrently with Line of Credit Offering
 
During
2018,
pursuant to the terms of our Line of Credit (see Note
5,
Line of Credit, matures
September 1, 2019
”), we issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
430,000
shares of our common stock. Of this amount
390,000
shares of our common stock are at an exercise price of
$0.35
per share and
40,000
shares are at an exercise price of
$0.25
per share. These warrants expire
March 1, 2023.
The relative fair value of these warrants resulted in
$98,000
recorded as a discount on our convertible notes payable and line of credit on our consolidated balance sheet in the period issued.
 
The Company
may
“call” these warrants, requiring the holder to exercise their warrants within
30
days or forever lose the rights to do so, if the following conditions have been met: (i) the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are registered with the SEC and (ii) the Company’s common stock closes for
10
consecutive trading days at or above
two
times the exercise price.
 
Warrants Issued to Summer
2017
Unit Offering Investors
 
Pursuant to the terms of our Summer
2017
Unit Offering (see Note
5
), we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
1,246,906
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
$524,000
recorded as a long-term discount on our convertible notes.
 
The offering documents assured the investors that in the event a subsequent pricing supplement offered a lower conversion or exercise price, prior investors would be given those favorable terms. On
December 29, 2017,
we issued a
second
pricing supplement, lowering the conversion price to
$0.394.
As a result of this reduction, we notified each investor of the decrease in conversion price, and increased the number of warrant shares available to each investor. In the aggregate, the number of warrant shares increased by
82,283,
such that the warrants, in the aggregate, allow for the purchase of
1,329,189
shares. The relative fair value of these additional warrants resulted in
$32,000
recorded as a long-term discount on our convertible notes.
 
On
February 12, 2018,
we issued a
third
pricing supplement, lowering the unit price to
$0.30.
As a result of this reduction, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to warrants issued to prior investors increased by an aggregate
416,478
shares. Additionally, during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
we accepted
two
final investments in the aggregate amount of
$80,000,
pursuant to the
third
pricing supplement, and issued these investors warrants to purchase an aggregate
266,667
shares. The relative fair value of these warrants, including the increase in purchasable shares, resulted in
$103,000
recorded as a discount on our consolidated balance sheet in the period issued.
 
Warrants Issued to One-Year Noteholders
 
In conjunction with
three
separate investments of
one
-year convertible notes, we issued
three
sets of warrants to purchase an aggregate
400,000
shares to
two
investors. These warrants were issued
July 8, 2016 (
400,000
shares at
$0.65
exercise price),
December 30, 2016 (
400,000
shares at
$0.75
exercise price), and
July 18, 2017 (
400,000
shares at
$0.65
exercise price). The fair value of these warrants resulted in a
$280,000
discount recorded on our balance sheet as of
December 31, 2017
as a discount on convertible note payable and will be amortized monthly as interest expense in
2017.
 
Each of these warrants contained provisions that required a reduction to the exercise price and increase to the number of warrant shares in the event that we sold our common stock at a lower price than the exercise price (subject to some exceptions). During the year ended
December 31, 2017,
we adjusted downward the warrant exercise price
three
times to
$0.394,
resulting in a fair value totaling
$344,000,
recorded as a deemed dividend in our statement of stockholders’ equity.  During the year ended
December 31, 2018,
we adjusted downward the warrant exercise price to
$0.25,
resulting in a fair value totaling
$297,000,
recorded as a deemed dividend in our statement of stockholders’ equity.
 
Exercise of Warrants
 
During the year ended
December 31, 2017,
we issued
510,000
shares of our common stock from the exercise of outstanding stock purchase warrants and in exchange we received proceeds totaling
$153,000.
 
Fair Value – Interest Expense
 
To determine interest expense related to our outstanding warrants issued in conjunction with debt offerings, the fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the relative fair values are amortized over the life of the warrant. For the determination of expense of warrants issued for services, extinguishment of debt and settlement management also uses the option-pricing model. The principal assumptions we used in applying this model were as follows:
 
   
2017
   
2018
 
Risk free interest rate
 
1.71
 2.10%
 
 
2.54
3.00%

Forfeiture rate
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
Expected life in years

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. The expected life in years is based on the contract term of the warrant.
