DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

In June 2018 and May 2019, the Company issued its Series F Warrants, Series G Warrants, and Series H Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the respective warrant agreements, the Company was required to purchase its Series F Warrants, Series G Warrants and Series H Warrants for an amount of cash equal to $36.00, $22.00 and $10.66, respectively, (the "Minimum Value"). As a result, the Company accounted for the Series F Warrants, Series G Warrants and the Series H Warrants in accordance with ASC 815-10 and were recorded as liabilities at the greater of the Minimum Value or fair value. These warrants were marked to fair value each reporting period using the Black Scholes Model and the corresponding change in the fair value of the warrants were reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities was $2,207,475. During the year ended September 30, 2022, certain Series F and Series H warrants expired unexercised. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $1,000,000 to account the expiration of the corresponding derivative liability. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities was $1,207,475.

 

 

On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holders of the Series G Warrants and the Series H Warrants. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, the warrant holders exchanged 34,013 Series G Warrants for 3,402 shares of Common Stock and 43,077 Series H Warrants for 8,617 shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Company recorded $49,277 to account the fair value of the common stock issued and recorded a change in fair value of $1,158,197 to account for extinguishment of the corresponding derivative liability. As of September 30, 2023, there are no instruments accounted as derivative liability.
