DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
Effective November 28, 2012, the Company, together with the majority of the note holders of each tranche of notes issued in October 2010, January 2011, October 2011 and February 2011 (the “$1 Notes”) (see Note 4 above), agreed to amend the Notes, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Consent, Note Amendment and Warrant Forfeiture Agreement (the “Note Agreement”), dated as of October 24, 2012, to (a) extend the maturity date of the Notes to October 1, 2013, (b) set the conversion price at $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Notes and (c) remove full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition, the holders forfeited the warrants they received in connection with the issuance of the Notes, and consented to the 2012 Bridge Financing, the issuance of the October 2012 Notes and to the subordination of the Notes to the October 2012 Notes. Both the convertible notes and warrants had contained ratchet provisions, which under ASC 815 required bifurcation of the conversion feature and warrants for derivative liability treatment. The interest rate on all the Notes remained unchanged at 9% per annum. Using the Black Scholes model, each tranche of Notes, as of November 28, 2012 were valued and compared with the value of the Notes on the prior day with their original maturity dates.  The difference of the two valuation calculations of $556,300 was booked to Other Expenses as a gain on extinguishment of debt. Since November 28, 2012, with the elimination of the warrants and the removal of the ratchet in the convertible debt instruments, which have subsequently been converted into equity, the Company had no derivative liabilities at September 30, 2013.

During September 2014, the Company raised $1.65 million in a private placement of secured convertible debt at $0.25 per share of Common Stock. This debt instrument also has a ratchet whereby the conversion price of $0.25 per share can be reduced to a minimum of $0.10 per share (see Note 4). The inclusion of this ratchet requires the determination of the fair market carrying value. At issuance, the note discount and derivative liability using the Black-Scholes model was $179,200 and at September 30, 2014, upon revaluation, the derivative liability value was reduced to $153,100 with a resultant gain of $26,100 from derivative liabilities being booked to other income in the income statement.
