Reverse Stock Split

 

On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Third Amended Certificate, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-12 (the “2026 Reverse Split”) (the “2026 Amendment”). The 2026 Amendment became effective on January 23, 2026.

All references to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2026 Reverse Split (and all other reverse splits described herein) for all periods presented.

Upon redemption of preferred stock, the difference between (1) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred stock and (2) the carrying amount of the preferred stock in the registrant’s balance sheet (net of issuance costs) is subtracted from (or added to) net income (loss) to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share. If the fair value of the consideration transferred is greater than the carrying amount of the shares surrendered, (1) retained earnings is reduced by the difference (or additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings), and (2) earnings available to common shareholders is reduced by the difference. If the fair value of the consideration transferred is less than the carrying amount of the shares surrendered, the difference is credited to retained earnings and added to earnings available to common shareholders. As a result of the Series C Redemption the Company recorded a deemed dividend totaling ($427,000), crediting accumulated deficit and debiting additional paid in capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

 

Series AAA Junior -3 and Series AAA Junior 4 Warrants

 

The Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 subscription agreements entered into in September 2024, included the sale of an aggregate of 1,096 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of newly designated Series AAA-3 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock or Series AAA-4 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock, as reflected in the table above, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 3 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,096,000.

 

The September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants do not meet the requirements for equity classification, and therefore, the fair value of the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheets and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). There was no change in fair value for the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The change in fair value for the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled ($58,000) and ($328,000), respectively.

 

Placement Agent Warrants

 

The Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock are not eligible for the scope exception under ASC 815, and therefore, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of comprehensive income (loss). The change in fair value for the Placement Agent Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $0 and $(4,000), respectively. The change in fair value for the Placement Agent Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $(86,000) and $(533,000), respectively.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrant - Price Adjustment

 

In connection with the closing of the Misfits Transaction, pursuant to the terms of the applicable underlying common stock warrant agreements, the exercise price for certain of the common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the October 2025 PIPE, representing the right to purchase an aggregate 2.7 million shares of common stock, was reset to the floor price, as defined in the underlying common stock purchase agreements, ranging from $4.99 to $6.84 per share, from $12.00 per share.

 

The Company determined that the triggering of the down-round feature represented a transfer of value to the warrant holders. The Company measured the incremental fair value attributable to the exercise price adjustment using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the trigger date, utilizing the following assumptions: stock prices ranging from $4.99 to $12.00, expected volatility range of 103% to 105%, expected terms of 4.46 to 4.51, and a risk-free interest rate of 3.97%, based on the specific warrants being remeasured at the measurement date. The incremental fair value transferred to the applicable warrant holders was estimated to be $1,002,000. The applicable warrants continue to qualify for equity classification under ASC 815-40, and therefore, the Company did not recognize a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations in connection with the triggering of the down round feature. Instead, the incremental fair value was recognized as a deemed dividend within stockholders' equity and reduced income available to common shareholders for purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share.
