The Company reviews all outstanding warrants in accordance with the requirements of ASC 815. This topic provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The warrant agreements provide for adjustments to the exercise price for certain dilutive events. Under the provisions of ASC 815, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock because future equity offerings or sales of the Company’s stock are not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option on equity shares, and equity classification is therefore precluded. In accordance with ASC 815, derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and re-valued at the end of each reporting period through expiration. Any change in fair value between the respective reporting periods is recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of operations. Series A through E Warrants As of September 30, 2015, all Series A through E warrants had expired. The Company accounted for the Series A through E Warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. These warrants did not qualify for equity accounting and were accounted for as derivative liabilities because the warrant agreements provided the holders the right to require a cash settlement of the warrants in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the warrant agreement. Since the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction is not entirely within the Company’s control, circumstances existed that would require net-cash settlement of the warrants while holders of shares would not receive a cash settlement. On December 24, 2014, 130,347 Series A warrants, with an exercise price of $5.00, expired. The fair value of the warrants on the date of expiration was $1,303. As of September 30, 2014, all of these warrants were outstanding and the fair value of these derivative liabilities was $1,303. On January 8, 2015, 16,750 Series A warrants, with an exercise price of $5.00, expired. The fair value of the Series A warrants was $0 on the date of expiration. As of September 30, 2014, all of these warrants were outstanding and the fair value of these derivative liabilities was $167. In connection with a loan received and fully repaid in a prior period, the Company issued 50,000 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $6.80 per share. On September 4, 2014, all outstanding Series B warrants expired. As of September 30, 2014, no Series B warrants remained outstanding. On February 20, 2015, 463,487 Series C warrants, with an exercise price of $5.50, expired. The fair value of the Series C warrants was $0 on the date of expiration.

2. | Equity Warrants
Series N Warrants Series N warrants were previously issued in connection with a financing.

In January 2014, the Company offered the investors the option to extend the Series N warrants by one year and allow for cashless exercise in exchange for cancelling the reset provision in the warrant agreement. One investor, holding 2,844,627 Series N warrants accepted this offer. Accordingly, these warrants are no longer considered a derivative liability due to the cancelation of the reset provision. The fair value of the warrants on that date totaled $1,308,528 and was reclassified from derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital. On March 21, 2014, the other investor exercised 106,793 Series N warrants. The Company received cash proceeds of $7,424 for 14,078 of the warrants exercised. The remaining 92,715 warrants were exercised in a cashless exercise. The fair value of the warrants on the date of exercise was $137,000 and was reclassified from derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the October and December 2013 financings triggered the reset provision related to the initial Series N financing which resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,563,083 shares of common stock. The cost of additional shares issued was $1,117,447. This cost was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was deemed a dividend. On October 28, 2014, the outstanding 2,844,627 Series N Warrants were transferred to the de Clara Trust, of which the Company’s CEO, Geert Kersten, is the trustee and a beneficiary. On June 29, 2015, the Company extended the expiration date of the Series N warrants to August 18, 2017. The incremental cost of this modification was $475,333. The modification was concurrent with the extinguishment and reissuance of a note payable also held in the de Clara Trust, and was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment. As of September 30, 2015, the remaining 2,844,627 Series N warrants entitle the holders to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.53 per share at any time prior to August 18, 2017. On September 30, 2015 and 2014, no derivative liability was recorded because the warrants no longer were considered a liability for accounting purposes. Series L and Series M Warrants Series L and Series M warrants were previously issued in connection with a financing. In April 2012, 25,000 Series L warrants exercisable at a price of $7.50 per share were transferred to a consultant and were extended for two years from the current expiration date. The additional value of $43,910 was accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital and a debit to general and administrative expense. On April 17, 2014, the 25,000 Series L warrants expired. In April 2013, 100,000 Series L warrants were repriced to $2.50 per share and were extended for two years to April 2, 2015 in return for a reduction in outstanding warrants to 70,000. The additional cost of $59,531 was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was a deemed dividend. This cost was included in modification of warrants and increased the net loss available to shareholders on the statements of operations. In April 2015, the remaining 70,000 of the Series L warrants, at an exercise price of $2.50, expired. As of September 30, 2015, no Series L warrants remained outstanding. In October 2013, the Company reduced the exercise prices of the Series M warrants from $3.40 to $1.00 in exchange for a reduction in the number of warrants from 600,000 to 500,000.
