As such, pursuant to current accounting guidelines, the Company determined that the warrant exercise price and fundamental transaction clause created a derivative with a fair value of $48,961 at the date of issuance. The Company accounted for the fair value of the derivative as financing cost. See Note 7 for discussion of derivative liability.
