Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company have been included.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
   
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data;
   
Level 3 Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the balance sheets consist of accounts payable and notes payable. The Company believes that the carrying value of accounts payable and notes payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

 

The Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $25,831 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of $13,857 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in value during these periods was largely attributable to changes in the price of the underlying common stock and risk-free rates. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired private warrants in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) of the transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement on February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and issued written call options in connection with the Loan Agreement. The fair value of the written call options decreased to $0 between their issuance and December 31, 2024, and remained at $0 as of March 31, 2026. Such fair value measurements are Level 3 inputs. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair values of the warrants.

 

   Derivative
warrant liabilities
 
Balance at January 1, 2025  $87,180 
Change in fair value   (13,857)
Balance at March 31, 2025  $73,323 
      
Balance at January 1, 2026   26,479 
Change in fair value   (25,831)
Balance at March 31, 2026  $648 

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2026, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation (“MCS”) valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the freestanding $14,000,000 purchase option and remaining embedded $14,000,000 purchase option associated with the Loan Agreement as of December 31, 2024. The MCS methodology simulates the Company’s future stock price to estimate if and when the Trailing VWAP (as defined below) will reach $500.00 per share (as adjusted for the March 2026 stock split), and discounts the resulting payoff back to each valuation date using a present value factor. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of these options include volatilities of 78.98 % and 78.0% and discount rates of 3.7% and 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the MCS produced a fair value of $0 relating to these freestanding and embedded options.

 

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period. Given the Company’s net loss, basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are the same.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The amendments in this pronouncement will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of adoption on its unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements. This update clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance and the form and content of interim financial statements. It also establishes a disclosure principle requiring an entity to disclose material events and changes occurring since the end of the last annual reporting period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for the Company for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
