August 2024 Note: In August 2024, the Company issued a senior unsecured promissory note (the “August 2024 Note”) in the principal amount of $515,000 to a new lender in consideration of cash proceeds in the amount of $412,075. The August 2024 Note bears interest of 12.0% per annum and is due and payable six months after issuance. The lender shall have the right to convert the principal and interest payable under the August 2024 Note into shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company issued the lender a stock purchase warrant (the “August 2024 Warrant”) to acquire 175,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $2.00 for a term of five years that may be exercised for cash. The number of shares and exercise prices for the August 2024 Note and August 2024 Warrant reflect the October 2024 reverse stock split.

 

The August 2024 Warrant was determined to be an equity classified warrant and fair value was calculated as $447,316 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: volatility of 183.31%, risk-free rate of 3.84%, annual dividend yield of 0.0% and expected life of five years. The Company recorded a total debt discount of $342,314 related to the original issue discount and August 2024 Warrant, which will be amortized over the term of the August 2024 Note. The principal amount of the August 2024 Note was allocated to the August 2024 Note and the August 2024 Warrant in the amount of $275,611 and $239,389, respectively. The amount allocated to the original issue discount and the August 2024 Warrant were recorded as a discount on the August 2024 Note, which will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the August 2024 Note.

In June 2025, the lender sold August 2024 Note and the August 2024 Warrant to an unaffiliated third party. In August 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the new holder (the “Holder”) of the August 2024 Note and August 2024 Warrant. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Holder agreed to waive all events of default in relation to the August 2024 Note. Additionally, the Holder agreed to convert the August 2024 Note into 243,155 shares of common stock based on the post-reverse stock split conversion price of $2.50 per share. In consideration of such waiver and conversion, the Company agreed to issue to the Holder a pre-funded warrant to purchase 1,702,088 shares of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, on August 11, 2025, the Company agreed to exchange the August 2024 Warrant for a new warrant (the “Exchange Warrant”) in form and substance similar to the August 2024 Warrant, provided that such Exchange Warrant permitted the Holder to exercise such Exchange Warrant on a cashless basis. The Holder then exercised the Exchange Warrant on a cashless basis, resulting in an issuance of 123,860 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

December 2024 Note: On December 3, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “December 2024 Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to a lender, in consideration of cash proceeds in the amount of $450,000 after an original issue discount of $25,000 and issuance costs of $25,000 in connection with the standby equity purchase agreement executed with the lender (the “SEPA”). The December 2024 Note matures on December 3, 2025. The SEPA was subsequently terminated in December 2024. The December 2024 Note has the following features:

 

Conversion rights – The December 2024 Note and accrued and unpaid interest is convertible at the option of the lender (the “Conversion Option”) into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of the lower of (i) $2.00 per share (the “Fixed Price”) and (ii) 90% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) during the ten consecutive trailing days immediately preceding the conversion, with a floor of $0.33 (the “Floor Price”).

 

Interest – The December 2024 Note bears interest of 10.0% per annum. Upon an event of default, the December 2024 Note becomes immediately due and payable, with the interest increasing to 18.0%.

 

Optional redemption – The December 2024 Note is redeemable by the Company in the event that the VWAP of the Company’s common stock was less than the Fixed Price on the date the Company provides the redemption notice to the lender. The redemption price will be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the December 2024 Note plus the 10% of the principal amount being redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”) plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The lender has ten days from the date the redemption notice is received to elect to convert all or a portion of the December 2024 Note.

 

Event of Default – If any event of default as defined in the December 2024 Note occurs, the full unpaid principal amount of the December 2024 Note, accrued and unpaid interest, and other amounts owed become at the lender’s election immediately due and payable in cash. The lender has the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or part of the December 2024 Note in accordance with the terms of the December 2024 Note.

 

Exchange Cap – The lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of the December 2024 Note to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the lender, along with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company has obtained shareholder approval for conversion.

 

Amortization Event – In no event shall the lender be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by the lender and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If at any time (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for three trading days during a period of five consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Event”), (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99.0% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap (an “Exchange Cap Event”), or (iii) at any time after the effectiveness deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2024, by and between the Company and the lender (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the lender is unable to utilize a registration statement to resell the shares of the Company’s common stock receivable by the lender for a period of ten consecutive trading days (a “Registration Event,” and collectively with a Floor Price Event and an Exchange Cap Event, each an “Amortization Event”), then the Company shall make monthly payments to the lender beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $150,000 plus a 10.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of the December 2024 Note in excess of the Exchange Cap.

 

Embedded Derivatives – The optional redemption and event of default include an exercise contingency, which requires the Company to obtain shareholder approved for conversions subject to the Exchange Cap, which fails the equity classification guidance in ASC 815 and is thus precluded from being classified in equity. Therefore, the embedded derivatives are required to be bifurcated from the December 2024 Note and accounted for at fair value at each reporting date. A fair value of $222,865 was determined for the embedded derivative liabilities using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The embedded derivative liabilities will be re-measured to fair value each reporting period until settlement (see Note 11).

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the lender exercised conversion of the December 2024 Note and 260,300 shares of common stock were issued to the lender.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, amortization of debt discount and interest expense related to convertible promissory notes amounted to $0 and $36,337, and $308,646 and $83,613, respectively, which are both included as a component of interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
