On June 13, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution designating 10,016,080 shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with an initial stated value of $1.40 and par value of $0.01. Each Series B preferred share is convertible into 10 shares of common stock and is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock. These Series B shares may be converted to common stock by the holder of the shares at any time. The Series B shares shall be automatically converted into common shares upon the closing of an underwritten initial public offering with aggregate proceeds to the Company of at least $7 million and a price per share to the public of at least the Series B stated value upon the closing of which the shares of common stock of the Company shall be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The Series B shares are also convertible into common shares upon the election of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Series B shares. Until conversion, the holders of Series B Preferred shares shall be entitled to receive dividends of 10% of the Series B stated value per annum.
 
In connection with the private placement of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a liability for a complex embedded derivative that required bifurcation under ASC Section 815. The embedded derivative includes a redemption feature, multiple dividend features, as well as multiple conversion features with a down-round ratchet provision. The Company estimates the fair values of the conversion feature using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company measured the fair value of the conversion feature on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013(dates of issuance) and recorded the initial liability as part of the private placement proceeds.

The value of the derivative liability related to the warrants was $1,886,000 and the value of the derivative liability related to the preferred shares was $5,064,000.

The value of the derivative liability related to the warrants was $1,644,000 and the value of the derivative liability related to the preferred shares was $3,804,000. As part of this issuance, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,999,999 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share with an initial fair value of $759,000 and paid $350,000 to the placement agents. As a result of this financing, all outstanding convertible notes were converted into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase common stock. On July 15, 2013, the remaining outstanding convertible loan notes, totaling $829,277 in principal and interest, were converted into 658,145 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,645,361 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share.

In connection with the private placement of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a liability for the conversion feature that contains a provision that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of the Company’s common stock (“down-round” provision). The Company estimates the fair values of the conversion feature using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company measured the fair value of the conversion feature on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013 and recorded the initial liability as part of the private placement proceeds.
 
On May 16, 2014, 188,938 preferred shares were converted into 1,889,380 shares of common stock. Due to this conversion, a gain on derivative liabilities of $118,000 was recognized and $741,000 was reclassified out of the derivative liability account and into equity.
 
The Company re-measured the fair value of the conversion feature at September 30, 2014 and recorded an $18.4 million gain on derivative liabilities during the third quarter to adjust the liability associated with the conversion feature to an estimated fair value of $7.6 million. The change in fair value and the associated gain was attributable to a decline in the market value of our common stock as of September 30, 2014.
