Common Stock And Warrants |
6. WARRANTS | For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, certain warrant holders exercised warrants in respect of 252,101 shares of common stock on a cashless exercise basis, resulting in 172,269 net shares of common stock issued by the Company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, certain warrant holders exercised warrants in respect of 50,000 shares of common stock for $26,500 in cash. July Offering – On July 3, 2012, the Company raised $10,903,000, net of $1,137,000 of underwriting and issuance costs, through a public offering of units consisting of an aggregate of 28,000,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 28,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.63 per share with a term of five years and warrants to purchase 14,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.53 per share with a term of eighteen months (“July Offering”), which warrant exercise prices are subject to adjustment. The warrants issued in the July Offering are subject to a “weighted-average” anti-dilution adjustment if the Company issues or is deemed to have issued securities at a price lower than the then applicable warrant exercise prices. In September 2012, as discussed below, the Company issued additional common stock and warrants, resulting in adjustments to the exercise prices of warrants issued in the July Offering. The adjusted exercise prices for the 5-year and 18-month warrants are $0.50 per share and $0.43 per share, respectively. The Company accounted for the net proceeds of the July Offering by first allocating the $3,380,000 fair value of the warrants to liabilities and then allocating the remaining amount to equity. September Offering – On September 26, 2012, the Company raised $10,091,000, net of $909,000 of underwriting and issuance costs, through a public offering of units consisting of an aggregate of 27,500,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 27,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.59 per share with a term of three years (“September Offering”). The Company accounted for the net proceeds of the September Offering by first allocating the $1,658,000 fair value of the warrants to liabilities and then allocating the remaining amount to equity.

- Definition Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 505 -SubTopic 50 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6406099&loc=d3e25284-112666 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 08 -Paragraph i -Article 4 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SX 210.4-08.(i)) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6881521&loc=d3e23780-122690 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 02 -Paragraph 28 -Article 5 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 718 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (a) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6415400&loc=d3e5047-113901 Reference 6: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 505 -SubTopic 50 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6784392&loc=d3e188667-122775 Reference 7: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) -Number D-98 -Paragraph 2 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
