NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Warrants Issued With the Notes Convertible Into Series D Preferred

 

In fiscal 2020, the Company closed a financing agreement with Golden Post Rail, LLC (“Golden Post”) and certain shareholders pursuant to which the Company issued convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 10%. These notes were convertible into shares of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock purchase warrants (the “2020 Warrants”) exercisable at $0.01 per share, with a ten-year expiration. The 2020 Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions. See Note 10. The Company analyzed the conversion features of the promissory notes and determined that the 2020 Warrants and the remaining purchaser warrants issued in connection with the notes qualified as derivative liabilities. The fair value was required to be allocated among the notes, the notes’ conversion features, and the 2020 Warrants and remaining purchaser warrants, and was subsequently remeasured at each reporting date. The Company performed a valuation of the conversion features of the 2020 Warrants and remaining purchaser warrants. In performing the valuation, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines 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 (exit price). To measure fair value, the Company incorporated assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and utilized market data to the maximum extent possible.

In instances where the determination of fair value is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level within which the entire fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the overall fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

The Company classified the inputs in this valuation as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 and utilized an equity simulation model to determine the value of conversion feature associated with the 2020 Warrants issued in connection with the notes convertible into Series D Preferred Stock, based on the assumptions set forth below:
