Under ASC 815-40-05, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock, in the event the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock to satisfy obligations for stock options, warrants and other instruments potentially convertible into common stock, the fair value of these instruments should be reported as a liability. Pursuant to the outstanding option, warrant and convertible debt agreements, there is currently no effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying these agreements, which are currently subject to a cashless exercise whereby the holders, at their option, may surrender their options and warrants to the company in exchange for shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock into which an option or a warrant would be exchangeable in such a cashless exercise depends on both the exercise price of the options or warrant and the market price of the common stock, each at or near the time of exercise. Because the market price is variable, it is possible that we could have insufficient authorized shares to satisfy a cashless exercise. In this scenario, if we were unable to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares, we could be obligated to settle such a cashless exercise with cash rather than by issuing shares of common stock. Further, ASC 815-40-05 requires that we record the potential settlement obligation at each reporting date using the current estimated fair value of these contracts, with any changes in fair value being recorded through our statement of operations. We reported the potential settlement obligation as a liability until such time as these contracts are exercised or expire or we are otherwise able to modify the agreements to remove the provisions which require this treatment. On September 21, 2017, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000, which enabled the Company to reclassify the derivative liability.
