Company, a total of 1,220,668 warrants which were issued in connection with the Company’s reverse merger on November 4, 2022 and
for private placements with an initial carrying value of $1,836,666 were reassessed to be derivative liabilities. The fair value of
the warrants upon the change in classification on August 1, 2024 of $454,571, was remeasured using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, with the following assumptions (weighted average): expected dividend yield - 0%, expected volatility - 105%, risk-free interest rate – 3.49%
and an expected remaining life – 0.7 years. The fair value of these warrants is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The difference between the previous carrying value which was initially recorded as equity and the fair value of the warrant liabilities on August 1, 2024 was $1,382,096. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-35-9, the difference is recognized within equity.
108,178 of the warrants outstanding on August 1, 2024 were issued to brokers as compensation for finders fees (the “Broker Warrants”) and fall under the Scope of ASC 718,
Stock-based Compensation. As the Company’s stock was primarily traded on the Cboe Exchange in Canadian dollars during the three months ended October 31, 2024, the exemption under ASC 718-10-25-14A is met and the Broker Warrants remain equity
classified.
