DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company evaluates its warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 and 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon registration of the shares, changes in price-based anti-dilution adjustments, conversion or exercise, as applicable, of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of the occurrence of the event and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Warrant Liability
2014 Activity:
On February 21, 2014, the Company issued Series A five-year warrants to purchase 857,158 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share and Series B five-year warrants to purchase 857,158 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreements entered into in connection with a private placement of its shares in February 2014 (the "2014 Private Placement"). As part of the 2014 Private Placement, the Company also issued a Series A five-year warrant to purchase up to 37,526 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share and a Series B five-year warrant to purchase up to 37,526 shares of the Company' common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share to the placement agent.
The Company determined that these warrants (the “2014 Warrants”) required classification as a liability due to provisions for potential exercise price adjustments. The Company determined that the fair value of the 2014 Warrants on their issuance date on February 21, 2014 was $12,382,216. These shares are currently registered with the SEC pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-195081) filed by the Company on April 30, 2015, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 4, 2015.

From July 20, 2015 through August 14, 2015, the Company offered a 26% discount on the warrant exercise prices to investors holding the 2014 Warrants. If and to the extent a holder did not exercise its 2014 Warrants at the reduced exercise prices during this time period, the exercise prices of any unexercised 2014 Warrants remain at their original exercise prices of $7.00 and $10.00 per share for the series A and series B 2014 Warrants, respectively. In exchange for the reduction in the warrant exercise price, the investors holding a majority of the 2014 Warrants agreed to amend the 2014 Warrants to remove the price-based anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in the 2014 Warrants. The removal of these provisions from the 2014 Warrants eliminated the provision that required liability classification of the 2014 Warrants and quarterly non-cash adjustments reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative liability on the Company’s financial statements. Except for the temporarily reduced exercise prices and elimination of the anti-dilution adjustment provisions in the 2014 Warrants, the terms of the 2014 Warrants remain unchanged. As a result of the amendment in the 2014 Warrants terms, the 2014 Warrants no longer require liability classification after August 14, 2015.

At the close of the offer period on August 14, 2015, investors exchanged and converted 1,392,832 shares underlying the 2014 Warrants at the 26% discount for total proceeds of $8,760,805. The amendment of the 2014 Warrants to reduce the exercise price required the Company to treat the adjustment as an exchange whereby it computed the fair value of the 2014 Warrants immediately prior to the price reduction and the fair value of the 2014 Warrants after the price reduction. The $1,197,821 change in the fair value of the 2014 Warrants as a result of the price reduction was treated as a loss on exchange and recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

As a result of the above transactions, the fair value of $5,348,408 on the 1,392,832 exercised 2014 Warrants and the fair value of $1,181,638 on the 396,536 remaining unexercised 2014 Warrants as of August 14, 2015 was moved to equity as of August 14, 2015.

2013 Activity:
From August 15, 2013 through September 23, 2013, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase 355,914 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 355,914 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with a private placement of its shares (the "2013 Private Placement"). The Company determined that these warrants (the “2013 Warrants”) required classification as a liability due to certain registration rights in the agreements that required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares underlying the 2013 Warrants. The Company determined that the fair value of these warrants on their issuance date was $2,344,899.

The Company originally filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-191743) with the SEC on October 16, 2013, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2013 for the registration of the resale of 174,732 shares underlying the 2013 Warrants. The Company subsequently filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-197482) related to the resale of the remaining shares underlying the 2013 Warrants on July 17, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2014. As a result of the registration, the 2013 Warrants no longer require liability classification and their fair value of $3,166,482 was reclassified to equity in July 2014.

2012 Activity:
The Company determined that 5,502 warrant shares issued in its September 2012 public offering still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of December 31, 2015 was $5,060.

2011 Activity:
The Company determined that 680 warrant shares remaining from its May 2011 Stock Offering and 14 warrant shares issued in July 2011 for a customer list acquisition still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of December 31, 2015 was $0.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a loss of $2,133,820 and a gain of $7,845,214, respectively, due to the change in the fair value of its warrant liability.

(1)  The fair market value of the asset was determined by using the Company's closing stock price as reflected in the over-the-counter market.
(2)  The term is the contractual remaining term, allocated among twelve equal intervals for purposes of calculating other inputs, such as volatility and risk-free rate.
(3)  The implied expected life, and equivalent volatility and risk-free interest rate amounts are derived from the binomial.
(4)  The Company does not have a market trading history upon which to base its forward-looking volatility. Accordingly, the Company selected peer companies that provided a reasonable basis upon which to calculate volatility for each of the intervals described in (2), above.
(5)  The risk-free rates used for inputs represent the yields on zero coupon U.S. Government Securities with periods to maturity consistent with the intervals described in (2), above.
