Equity Payable

 

The Company had an earn-out commitment associated with the acquisition of Boomtext from Digimark, LLC. The earn-out payment (payable March 31, 2013) consists of a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to (a) 1.5, multiplied by the Company’s net revenue from acquired customers and customer prospects for the twelve-month period beginning six months after the closing date, divided by (b) the average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of the Company’s common stock for the 25 trading days immediately preceding the earn-out payment (subject to a collar of $1.49 and $2.01 per share).

 

In June 2013, the final value of the earn-out payment of $2,210,667 was satisfied through the issuance of 1,483,669 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated value of the earn-out payment of $2,032,881 was recorded as a current liability.

 

The change in the estimated value of the earn-out payable for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a loss of $499,177 and a gain of $16,131, respectively, which are recorded in other income/(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The change in the estimated value of the earn-out payable for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a loss of $193,465 and a gain of $76,782, respectively, which are recorded in other income/(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan

 

In December, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“the 2010 Plan”), subject to shareholder approval within one year. Shareholder approval was not obtained within one year, therefore incentive stock options granted under the 2010 Plan converted to non-qualified stock options. The 2010 Plan permits the Company to grant up to 3,124,000 shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock. The 2010 Plan is designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the 2010 Plan thereby providing participants with a personal interest in the growth and performance of the Company.

 

The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price that equals the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. These option awards generally vest based on four years of continuous service and have five-year or 10-year contractual terms.

 

2013 Incentive Stock Option Plan

 

In June 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“the 2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan permits the Company to grant up to 33,386,086 shares of common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock. The 2013 Plan is designed to retain directors, executives and selected employees and consultants and reward them for making major contributions to the success of the Company. These objectives are accomplished by making long-term incentive awards under the 2010 Plan thereby providing participants with a personal interest in the growth and performance of the Company.

 

The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price that equals the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. These option awards generally vest based on four years of continuous service and have five-year or 10-year contractual terms.

 

The exercise of options granted under the 2013 Plan is subject to the Company’s increase of the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance.

Valuation Assumptions

 

The Company calculated the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following ranges of assumptions were used for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

    Six months ended June 30,  
    2013     2012  
Expected volatility     122% - 132%     65% to 73.4%  
Risk-free interest rate   0.22% to 1.50%     0.39% to 0.51%  
Forfeiture rate     16.0%       0.0%  
Expected dividend rate     0.0%       0.0%  
Expected life(years)   1.50 to 6.02     3.00 to 4.00  

 

The expected volatility in 2013 is based on the historical publicly traded price of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility prior to 2013 is based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of publicly traded surrogates in the Company’s peer group.

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon published interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options.

 

The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.

 

The expected life of the stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.

 

Warrants issued to non-employees

 

In December 2010, the Company issued 700,000 warrants for consulting services. The warrants vest over a 4 year term and vest as follows: the first installment equaling 25% of the grant is exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of the warrant; and additional installments are exercisable monthly at the rate of 1/36 of the 75% grant balance over the ensuing 36 months.

 

In January 2011, the Company issued 200,000 warrants for consulting services. The warrants vest over a 4 year term and vest as follows: the first installment equaling 25% of the grant is exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of the warrant; and additional installments shall become exercisable monthly at the rate of 1/36 of the 75% grant balance over the ensuing 36 months.

 

In July 2011, the Company issued 5,000 warrants for consulting services. The warrants vest over a 4 year term and vest as follows: the first installment equaling 25% of the grant is exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of the warrant; and additional installments are exercisable monthly at the rate of 1/36 of the 75% grant balance over the ensuing 36 months.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued 25,000 warrants for consulting services. The warrants vest over twelve months beginning on the first monthly anniversary of the grant. The Company terminated the services of said consultant during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the warrants were canceled in accordance with the warrant agreement.

 

As of June 30, 2013, vested warrants totaled 736,138 pursuant to the three non-employee warrant agreements.

 

The warrants issued to non-employees were accounted for as derivative liabilities through June 17, 2013 pursuant to the authoritative guidance for equity based payments to non-employees. The warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation. See Note 5 for assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation.

 

The fair values of the warrants were estimated at the vesting date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date. At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded derivative liabilities for the non-employee warrants totaling $95,041. On June 17, 2013, the Company converted this derivative liability valued at $176,555 into additional paid-in capital due to the fact that on that date the number of possible issuances of common shares was no longer indeterminate thereby removing the tainted equity environment.

 

The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a loss of $33,835 and a gain of $129,987, respectively, which was recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations. The increase in value of the derivative liabilities related to warrant vesting during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $14,388 and $33,883, respectively.

 

The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was a loss of $54,545 and $190,957, respectively, which was recorded in change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations. The increase in value of derivative liabilities related to warrant vesting during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $29,969 and $33,883, respectively.
