The Company used the Monte Carlo Simulation to determine the fair value of the conversion feature liability and warrants liability for recognition and subsequent conversion of the convertible debentures.

This model requires the input of subjective assumptions including expected share price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings (loss) and equity reserves.
