The Warrant has an exercise price of $4.40 per share, subject to adjustment therein, and a term of five years from the date stockholder approval of the common stock issuances contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is obtained. The gross proceeds from the initial closing to the Company, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated expenses, was $6,050,000.

The gross proceeds from the second closing to the Company, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated expenses, was $1,053,000.
Based on the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Company’s Certificate of Designation, and in accordance with ASC 480, the Series A Preferred Stock is accounted for as mezzanine equity due to the redemption feature upon a deemed liquidation event: (i) a merger or consolidation, or (ii) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of substantially all the assets of the Company. $1,971,975 of the initial cash proceeds of $6,050,000 were allocated to the Warrants and $4,078,025 of the residual proceeds were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock. $330,781 of the additional cash proceeds of $1,053,000 were allocated to the Warrants and $722,219 of the residual proceeds were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock from the January 14, 2025 settlement, with all the same terms as the first settlement above.

As of March 31, 2026, 392,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, convertible into 1,401,786 shares of common stock.
Based on the terms of the Warrants and in accordance with ASC 815, the Warrants are accounted for as a liability due to the variable exercise price subject to adjustment. Currently, there is not an observable market for this type of derivative. Due to the lack of relevant and market reflective Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company valued the Warrant liability using Level 3 inputs, which require significant judgment and estimates on behalf of management in developing model assumptions. The Company determined the value of the Warrant liability using a Binomial Simulation, which takes into consideration the fair market value of the Company’s stock, the variable nature of the exercise price, the estimated exercise period, the volatility of its common stock, and the risk-free interest rate.
The following assumptions were made as of December 31, 2024 in the model: (1) a variable exercise price with a floor of $4.40 per share, (2) current common stock price of $4.28 per share December 31, 2024, (3) discount rate of 4.38%, and (4) expected stock price volatility of 24.90%. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Warrant liability in aggregate was $1,971,975. The following assumptions were made as of January 14, 2025 in the model: (1) a variable exercise price with a floor of $4.40 per share, (2) current common stock price of $4.16 per share on January 14, 2025, (3) discount rate of 4.59%, and (4) expected stock price volatility of 25.77%. As of January 14, 2025 the carrying value of the 263,250 issued warrants was $330,781.
The following assumptions were made as of April 9, 2025 based on stockholder approval in the model for the aggregate warrants: (1) a fixed exercise price of $1.12 per share, which automatically reset and resulted in a reclassification of the warrant liability on April 9, 2025 to equity per ASC 815; (2) then-current common stock price of $1.34 per share on April 9, 2025; (3) discount rate of 4.06%; and (4) expected stock price volatility of 23.26%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of the Warrant Liability in the amount of $0 and $1,122,561, respectively. |
