Common Stock

In March 2014 we issued 504,884 shares of common stock as part of the purchase price in the SmartReceipt acquisition which were valued at $672,505 based on the closing market price on the acquisition date, see Note 3.

In March 2014 we issued 5,413,000 units of our securities at a price of $1.00 per unit, for net proceeds of $5,413,000.  Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant with an exercise price of $1.20.

At March 31, 2014, we had 22,237,762 shares of common stock outstanding.

Equity Payable

We had an earn-out commitment associated with the acquisition of Boomtext from Digimark, LLC. The earn-out payment (payable March 31, 2013) consisted of a number of shares of our common stock equal to (a) 1.5, multiplied by our 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 our 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.

In June 2013, we recorded equity payable of $218,446 related to the additional share issuance obligations under the Bridge Notes. As discussed above under Common Stock and below under Warrants Issued to Note Holders and Placement Agent, we satisfied a portion of these obligations during the three months ended September 30, 2013 through the issuance of shares of common stock or warrants to purchase common stock.

Stock-based Plans

The weighted average exercise price of stock options granted during the period was $1.40 and the related weighted average grant date fair value was $1.26 per share.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The impact on our results of operations of recording stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

Valuation Assumptions

An independent valuation expert calculated the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

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

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.

The dividend yield assumption is based on our history of not paying dividends and no future expectations of dividend payouts.

The expected volatility in 2014 is based on the historical publicly traded price of our common stock. The expected volatility prior to 2013 is based on the weighted average of the historical volatility of publicly traded surrogates in our peer group.

Warrants Issued to Non-Employees

We issued warrants to purchase 150,556 shares of common stock to non-employees in 2010 and 2011. Prior to June 17, 2013, the warrants were accounted for as derivative liabilities because the equity environment was tainted as discussed in Note 5. The equity environment was no longer tainted as of June 17, 2013, and our independent valuation expert began calculating the stock-based compensation for these warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The valuation assumptions used are consistent with the valuation information for options above.

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,971 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
