Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” the Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company generally applies the income approach to determine fair value. This method uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
o | Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
o | Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets
o | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions
For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The table below sets forth the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, on the balance sheet at September 30, 2017:
|  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) |  |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |  |  | Total |
Derivative Instruments |  | $ | 32,773 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 2,020,629 |  |  | $ | 2,053,402 |
The table below sets forth the liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, on the balance sheet at September 30, 2016:
|  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liabilities (Level 1) |  |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |  |  | Total |
Derivative Instruments |  | $ | 3,111,361 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 5,283,573 |  |  | $ | 8,394,934 |
The following sets forth the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances related to fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), as of September 30:
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 5,283,573 |  |  | $ | 6,323,032 |
Issuances |  |  | 4,665,683 |  |  |  | 8,722,073 |
Net realized and unrealized derivative gain |  |  | (7,928,627 | ) |  |  | (9,761,532 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 2,029,629 |  |  | $ | 5,283,573 |
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments disclosed above under Level 3 are primarily derived from valuation models where significant inputs such as historical price and volatility of the Company’s stock as well as U.S. Treasury Bill rates are observable in active markets. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s Level 3 derivative instruments have a weighted average fair value of $0.29 per share and a weighted average exercise price of $5.41 per share. Fair values were determined using a weighted average risk free interest rate of 1.85% and 80% volatility. The instruments have a weighted average time to maturity of 4.55 years. At September 30, 2016, the Company’s Level 3 derivative instruments have a weighted average fair value of $2.50 per share and a weighted average exercise price of $21.50 per share. Fair values were determined using a weighted average risk free interest rate of 1.04% and 75% volatility.
