Warrants and Rights Note Disclosure [Abstract]  
Warrant Liabilities

Warrants acquired in connection with the reverse merger, contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of our common stock (or “down-round” provisions) or that contain net settlement provisions. The Company accounts for these warrants as liabilities, not equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise or conversion price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise or conversion price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise or conversion price. Net settlement provisions allow the holder of the warrant to surrender shares underlying the warrant equal to the exercise price as payment of its exercise price, instead of physically exercising the warrant by paying cash. The Company evaluates whether warrants to acquire its common stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option.

  

On April 3, 2014, the Company issued 30,136,713 warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 in connection with the $10,180,000 14% Senior Secured Promissory Note. As the note contained a variable share settlement provision, these warrants are recognized as a liability recorded at fair value.

 

The Company recognizes these warrants as liabilities at their fair value and remeasures them at fair value on each reporting date.
