Warrants issued in Unit Offerings

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, pursuant to our Unit Offerings (see Note 3), we issued six-month stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,131,580 shares of our common stock at $0.23 per share, and five-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,131,580 shares of our common stock at $0.29 per share.  The relative fair value of the warrant component of the units sold to investors totaled $174,000. The Black-Scholes model was used to calculate relative fair value, further discounted by the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the common stock component.

 

During the year ended  December 31, 2024, pursuant to our Unit Offerings (see Note 3), we issued six-month stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,849,284 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.23 and $0.40 per share, and five-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,278,232 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.19 and $0.50 per share.  The relative fair value of the warrant component of the units sold to investors totaled $230,000. The Black-Scholes model was used to calculate relative fair value, further discounted by the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the common stock component.

 

Fair Value Warrants

 

To determine interest expense related to our outstanding warrants issued in conjunction with debt offerings, the fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the relative fair values are amortized over the life of the warrant. For the determination of expense of warrants issued for services, extinguishment of debt and settlement management also uses the option-pricing model. The principal assumptions we used in applying this model were as follows:

 

  

2025

  

2024

 

Risk free interest rate

  3.67 - 3.73%  4.15 - 5.38%

Expected volatility

  72 - 73%  64 - 87%

Expected dividend yield

      

Forfeiture rate

      

Expected life in years

  .5 - 5   .5 - 5 

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our common stock. The expected life in years is based on the contract term of the warrant.
