2016 Warrant
On September 2, 2016, in connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement (see Note 8 for additional information), the Company issued a warrant (the Warrant) to the Lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $4.0 million divided by the lower of (i) $2.29 per share and (ii) the subscription price paid in connection with the Rights Offering. The Warrant provides for weighted average anti-dilution protection and is exercisable in whole or in part for ten (10) years from the date of issuance. The per share subscription price paid was $1.50 in connection with the Rights Offering; accordingly, the exercise price of the Warrant was set at $1.50 per share.

The Company accounted for the Warrant in accordance with the authoritative guidance which requires that free-standing derivative financial instruments with certain anti-dilution and cash settlement features be classified as assets or liabilities at the time of the transaction, and recorded at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in earnings or loss as long as the derivative contracts are classified as assets or liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classified the Warrant as a liability and reports the change in fair value in the statement of operations.

On September 2, 2016, the issuance date of the Warrant, the fair value of the liability classified Warrant was $5.8 million. The Company applied a Monte Carlo Simulation-model to calculate the fair value of the liability classified Warrant using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.60%; no dividend yield; an expected life of 10 years; and a volatility factor of 80%. The Company compared the Monte Carlo simulation model calculation to a Black-Scholes model calculation as of December 31, 2016. These models generated substantially equal fair values for the Warrant. As such, the Company continued to utilize a Black-Scholes model for June 30, 2018 to determine the fair value of the Warrant.

As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the Warrant was $14.4 million. The fair value of the liability classified Warrant was calculated using the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.84%; no dividend yield; an expected life of 8.17 years; and a volatility factor of 80%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $360,285, and $294,356, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the liability classified Warrant. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $2.9 million and $331,853, respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the liability classified Warrant.
