NOTE I—NOTE PAYABLE
 
Securities Purchase Agreement dated
September
23,
2015
 
On
September
23,
2015
the Company issued a promissory note due
seven
months from the date of issuance and a warrant to purchase
69,445
shares of common stock in net consideration, after the original issue discount, of
$250,000.
The principal sum due under the note is the aggregate purchase price of
$250,000
plus an original issue discount of approximately
20%
of the purchase price and a
one
-time interest charge of
12%
of the purchase price. The principal sum and all other amounts owing under the note were fully paid by the Company following the initial closing of the
October
2015
Series A-
1
Convertible Preferred Stock offering. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of
$3.60
per share and have a term of
five
years.
 
The warrants have customary anti-dilution protections including a "full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustment provision which are triggered in the event the Company sells or
 
grants any additional shares of common stock, options, warrants or other securities that are convertible into common stock at a price lower than
$3.60
per share. The anti-dilution adjustment provision is not triggered by certain "exempt issuances" which among other issuances, includes the issuance of shares of common stock, options or other securities to officers, employees, directors, consultants or service providers.
 
Based on an evaluation as discussed in FASB ASC

“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity - Scope and Scope Exceptions,” the Company determined that the full ratchet anti-dilution feature in the common stock issued was not considered indexed to its own stock because neither the occurrence of a sale of equity securities by the issuer at market nor the issuance of another equity contract with a lower strike price is an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option or forward on equity shares. As such, the full ratchet anti-dilution feature should be bifurcated from the common stock and accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
The Company did not value the derivative liability. One of the key determinants of the Company’s decision to not value the derivative liability was the high likelihood that a future financing would not occur that would trigger the down round feature. Whether a future equity financing would occur would be determined by the cash needs of the Company and management’s willingness to trigger the down round feature. The Company’s reasons were based on the issuance of Series A-
1
and Series B-
1
preferred stock in
October
and
November
of
2015,
issued at a conversion price of
$3.60
.
 
The cashless exercise features contained in the warrants were initially considered to be derivatives and the Company recorded a warrant liability of
$92,199
on the consolidated balance sheet. The warrants issued by the Company were valued using an option-pricing model. The Company marked-to-market the warrant liabilities at the end of each reporting period. During the
2016
year, the Company determined the cashless exercise features did not meet the criteria for recording a warrant liability. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of the warrant liability was transferred to additional paid-in capital and the cumulative loss due to change in the recorded fair value of the liability was reversed during the period. For the year ended
December
31,
2016
the Company recorded income of
$4,607
in order to reverse the net cumulative loss on the warrant liability that had been previously recorded. The warrant liability was
$96,806
as of
December
31,
2015.
 
The fair value of the warrants was initially estimated on the date of grant at
$92,199
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate:
1.47%,
expected remaining life of options in years:
5,
expected dividends:
0,
volatility of stock price:
115.7%.
