Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] |
The Company has been informed by PPVA that it is the owner of the balance of the Platinum Note. Such balance of approximately
$1.9 million was due upon closing of the Asset Sale but withheld by the Company and not paid to anyone because it is subject to competing claims of ownership by both Dr. Michael Goldberg, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and PPVA. The remaining balance of the Platinum Note would have matured under its terms in September 2017, however the Company has not paid the balance as it is still subject to ongoing competing claims of ownership. The Company intends to pay the balance of the debt if it is determined to be due and owing to PPVA or Dr. Goldberg.If determined to be the obligee under the Platinum Note, Platinum or Dr. Goldberg would have had the right to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal or unpaid interest accrued on all draws under the Platinum credit facility, under certain circumstances. The Platinum embedded option to convert such debt into common stock is recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and deemed to be a derivative instrument as the amount of shares to be issued upon conversion is indeterminable. The estimated fair value of the conversion option of the Platinum Note payable is approximately
$0 and $153,000 on September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Subsequent to its maturity in September 2017, the Platinum Note no longer has an embedded conversion option.MT issued warrants to purchase MT Common Stock with certain characteristics including a net settlement provision that require the warrants to be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of the MT warrants is $63,000 both
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and will continue to be measured on a recurring basis. See Note 1 (b)(3 ).The following tables set forth, by level, financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation as of
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized in the following table:
There were
no 1 or Level
2 liabilities outstanding at any time during the three -month and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. There were no transfers in or out of our Level 1 or Level 2 liabilities during the three -month and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. Changes in the estimated fair value of our Level 3 liabilities relating to unrealized gains (losses) are recorded as changes in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. The change in the estimated fair value of our Level 3 liabilities during the three -month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0 and an increase of $839,000, respectively. The change in the estimated fair value of our Level 3 liabilities during the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was decreases of $153,000 and $1.8 million, respectively. |
