As of December 31, 2018, there were no shares of Junior A, and Series A, B, C, and E issued and outstanding.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 11, 2011, we completed a registered direct offering, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 843 units for a purchase price of $1,000 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to us of $843,000 (the “Series D Placement”). Each unit (“Series D Unit”) consisted of (i) one share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) convertible into 84 shares of our common stock, (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization, etc.) and (ii) one five-year warrant to purchase approximately 21 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $24.30, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrants (“Series D Warrant”). The Series D Warrants will be exercisable beginning on May 11, 2012 and until the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the initial exercise date.

The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to payments made upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment of the Company’s debts and liabilities, and before any payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will first be entitled to be paid $1,000 per share subject to adjustment for accrued but unpaid dividends.

We may not pay any dividends on shares of common stock unless we also pay dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in the same form and amount, on an as-if-converted basis, as dividends actually paid on shares of our common stock. Except for such dividends, no other dividends may be paid on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 84 shares of common stock (based upon an initial conversion price of $19.50 per share) at any time at the option of the holder, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, and similar recapitalization transactions (the “Series D Conversion Ratio”). Subject to certain exceptions, if the Company issues any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the conversion price of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents are issued. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Series D Conversion Ratio then in effect if, after six months from the closing of the Series D Placement, the common stock trades on the OTCQB (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) at a price equal to at least 300% of the then effective Series D Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days with each trading day having a volume of at least $50,000. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.

In addition, in the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our shares of common stock are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, then following such event, the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock would have received had they converted the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

The holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote on any matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), except that the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may vote separately as a class on any matters that would (i) amend, our Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (iii) authorize or create any class of shares ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, or (iv) increase the number of authorized shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

If, within 12 months of the initial issuance of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, we issue any common stock, common stock equivalents, indebtedness or any combination thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to participate on a pro-rata basis in up to 50% of such Subsequent Financing.

Series D Warrants

The Series D Warrants originally had an exercise price equal to $24.30 per share of common stock. In April 2012, the number of Series D Warrants increased by 17,681 to a total of 34,930 and each Series D Warrant had an exercise price reset to $12.00 per share of common stock. In December of 2013 the number of Series D Warrants increased by 20,958 to a total of 55,887 and each Series D Warrant had an exercise price reset to $7.50 per share of common stock. The Series D Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance and expire five years from the initial exercise date. The Series D Warrants permit the holder to conduct a “cashless exercise” at any time a registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein, is not available for the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrant, and under certain circumstances at the expiration of the Series D Warrants. The exercise price and/or number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock dividends, stock splits or similar capital reorganizations, as set forth in the Warrants. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event that we issue any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a per share price that is lower than the exercise price for the Series D Warrants then in effect. Upon any such issuance, subject to certain exceptions, the exercise price will be reduced to the per share price at which such shares of common stock or common stock equivalents are issued and number of Series D Warrant shares issuable thereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment. Unless waived under certain circumstance by the holder of a Series D Warrant, such holder may not exercise the Series D Warrant if upon such exercise the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed certain thresholds.

In the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our shares of common stock are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, then following such event, the holders of the Series D Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series D Warrants the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised the Series D Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

On May 10, 2017, we received net proceeds of $140,214 from the exercise of 19,889 stock purchase warrants from the Series D registered direct offering on November 10, 2011. In consideration for the warrant exercises, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase 39,778 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $8.40 per share. The warrants expire on the third year anniversary date. We determined the fair value of $186,802 for these warrants and recorded the value as other expenses.

Dividends accruing on the Series G Preferred Stock shall accrue from day to day until, and shall be paid within fifteen (15) days of, the first anniversary of, the original issue date of the Series G Preferred Stock; provided, however, if any shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock are outstanding at such time, payment of the accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock shall be deferred until no such shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding. The Company may pay accrued dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock in cash or in shares of its common stock equal to the volume weighted average price of the common stock as reported by the OTCQB for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Series G’s first anniversary.

At the election of the Company and upon required advanced notice, each share of Series G Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Conversion Ratio then in effect: (i) if, after 6 months from the original issuance date of the Series G Preferred Stock, the common stock trades on the OTCQB (or other primary trading market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded) at a price equal to at least $22.50, for 7 out of 10 consecutive trading days with average daily trading volume of at least 334 shares, (ii) on or after the first anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series G Preferred Stock or (iii) upon completion of a firm-commitment underwritten registered public offering by the Company at a per share price equal to at least $22.50, with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $2.5 million. Unless waived under certain circumstances by the holder of the Series G Preferred Stock, such holder’s Series G Preferred Stock may not be converted if upon such conversion the holder’s beneficial ownership would exceed certain thresholds.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with an accredited investor in which we agreed to issue 110.8 additional shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock at $2,500 per share to the investor. The fair value was recorded as other charge of $340,257. We also issued 110,833 additional warrants with an exercise price of $3.50 and an expiration period of five years from the original issue date. The fair value was recorded as other charges of $312,637. The Company also amended 29,167 Warrants held by the Investor. The Company lowered the Warrants’ exercise price from $15.00 per share to $3.50 per share. The fair value of $10,236 relating to the reduction in exercise price was treated as an equity modification and recorded as a charge to other expenses.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 460 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, each preferred share convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate Purchase price of $1,150,000. We issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate 460,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.50 per share.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 695 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, each preferred share convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate Purchase price of $1,738,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 1,456 shares of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, each preferred share convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate Purchase price of approximately $3.6 million. We issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,455,600 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The placement agent for this transaction received 145,560 warrants with a value of $405,557 and cash fees of $363,819 which were recognized as preferred stock offering costs and charged to additional paid in capital.

The issuances of our convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method.

The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes Option Model and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”).

If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible preferred stock.

We analyzed these warrants and determined that they were not considered derivatives and therefore recorded the aggregate relative fair value of $2,307,909 into equity relating to the 1,455,600 investor warrants and 145,560 broker warrants issued during 2019.

The convertible preferred stock is recorded at its fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant. Further, the convertible preferred stock is examined for any intrinsic beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of which the convertible price of the preferred stock is less than the closing stock price on date of issuance. If the relative fair value method is used to value the convertible preferred stock and there is an intrinsic BCF, a further analysis is undertaken of the BCF using an effective conversion price which assumes the conversion price is the relative fair value divided by the number of shares of common stock the convertible preferred stock is converted into by its terms. The adjusted BCF value of $2,653,344 and $12,881,899 was accounted for as a deemed dividend within equity and was included in the earnings per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The vesting schedule and term of these options remained unchanged. The Board also awarded 1,014,240 stock options to officers, employees, contractor and board members based on the annual compensation committee recommendation.

We accounted for these transactions as modifications under ASC 718. Therefore, incremental compensation cost shall be measured as the excess of the fair value of the replacement award or other valuable consideration over the fair value of the cancelled award at the cancellation date. The total compensation cost measured at the date of a cancellation and replacement shall be the portion of the grant-date fair value of the original award for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered (or has already been rendered) at that date plus the incremental cost resulting from the cancellation and replacement. The compensation value created by the repricing of stock options in 2019 and the termination and issuance of new stock options in 2018, as determined under the Black Scholes method, was approximately $73,355 and $759,469, respectively, and under ASC 718 results in a non-cash expense in current and future periods not to exceed the vesting periods of the stock options.

As of December 31, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock-based awards was $801,885, which is expected to be recognized over weighted average period of 1.15 years. The aggregate intrinsic value associated with the options outstanding and exercisable and the aggregate intrinsic value associated with the warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2018, based on the December 31, 2018 closing stock price of $2.25, was $0.

As of December 31, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock-based awards was $761,770, which is expected to be recognized over weighted average period of 2.37 years. The aggregate intrinsic value associated with the options outstanding and exercisable and the aggregate intrinsic value associated with the warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2019, based on the December 31, 2019 closing stock price of $1.25, was $136,683.

The following tables summarize information concerning options and warrants outstanding and exercisable:

The loans from November 13, 2017 and May 17, 2018 included Warrants that contain a price protection provision such that if we issue a warrant with any term more favorable to the holder of such warrant that was not similarly provided in these loans, then we shall notify the lender of such additional or more favorable term and such term, shall become a part of the loan agreements. The fair value of the reduction in exercise price was recorded as a deemed dividend of $5,113 in additional paid in capital.

The Company, pursuant to a price protection provision triggered on May 2, 2018 with the sale of Series AA units, amended the Debentures and Warrants to purchase Common Stock held by the Debenture Holders entered into between July 22, 2015 and March 31, 2016. The fair value of $207,899 relating to the reduction in exercise price was treated as a deemed dividend and recorded as a charge against additional paid-in capital within equity. The amended Debenture conversion price was exempt from revaluation because a beneficial conversion feature had already been recorded on the Debenture at issuance.
