3. Stock Options and Warrants
 
The Company follows ASC 815-40, Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, as it relates to outstanding warrants. No warrants were exercised through March 31, 2014.
 
In connection with the December 2013 private placement of 72,007,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price per share of $0.25, the Company issued an aggregate of warrants to purchase 4,320,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share to the placement agents. These warrants expire December 2018. These warrants contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of the Company’s common stock (“down-round” provision) and contain net settlement provisions. Due to these provisions, the Company accounted for these warrants as liabilities instead of equity.
 
In connection with the private placement of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock, which occurred through two closings on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013, respectively, the Company issued an aggregate of warrants to purchase 30,040,195 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14 per share. These warrants expire June 2018. These warrants contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of the Company’s common stock (“down-round” provision) and contain net settlement provisions. Due to these provisions, the Company accounted for these warrants as liabilities instead of equity. The Company measured the fair value of these warrants on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013 and recorded the initial liability as part of the private placement proceeds and expensed $759,000 for the warrants issued to the placement agent.
