Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Warrant Liability

As disclosed in Note 7 Stockholders’ Equity of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company allocated part of the proceeds of public offerings in 2012, 2013 and 2015 of the Company’s common stock to warrants (“the Warrants”) issued in connection with those transactions. The valuation of the warrants was determined using an option pricing model. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued at the measurement date, volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has classified the Warrants as a current liability due to certain price adjustment provisions and the holders ability to exercise the warrants at any time before the expiration date and has accounted for them as derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, adjusting the fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additionally, the Company has determined that the warrant derivative liability should be classified within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the option pricing model against the fair-value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair-value classification as called for in ASC 820. There are six inputs: closing price of Delcath stock on the day of evaluation; the exercise price of the warrants; the remaining term of the warrants; the volatility of Delcath’s stock over that term; annual rate of dividends; and the riskless rate of return. Of those inputs, the exercise price of the warrants and the remaining term are readily observable in the warrant agreements. The annual rate of dividends is based on the Company’s historical practice of not granting dividends. The closing price of Delcath stock would fall under Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy as it is a quoted price in an active market (ASC 820-10). The riskless rate of return is a Level 2 input as defined in ASC 820-10, while the historical volatility is a Level 3 input as defined in ASC 820. Since the lowest level input is a Level 3, Delcath determined the warrant derivative liability is most appropriately classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax derivative warrant expense of $0.05 million and pre-tax derivative warrant income of $0.2 million. The resulting derivative warrant liabilities totaled $0.8 million at June 30, 2015. In the event of a hypothetical 10% increase in the market price of our common shares on which the June 30, 2015 valuation was based, the value of the derivative liability would have increased by approximately $0.1 million. Management expects that the Warrants will either be exercised or expire worthless. The fair value of the Warrants at June 30, 2015 was determined by using an option pricing model with the following assumptions:

For the period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 inputs.

 

Money Market Funds

The Company has determined that the inputs associated with the fair value determination of its money market funds are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) and, as a result, the investments have been classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall in accordance with ASC 820.
