| Accounting and Reporting Policies | |
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as amended. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited annual financial statements but does not include all information required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly owned by the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected by the Company. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other interim period. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the Company’s long-lived assets, intangibles assets, the useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, derivative liability, deferred tax assets and liabilities, income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies. |
| Preferred Stock | Preferred Stock The Company records shares of convertible preferred stock at their respective fair values on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The Company concluded that the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock”), is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument, therefore certain embedded features were deemed to not be clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and were bifurcated as a derivative under ASC 815. The Company has applied the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities and has therefore classified the Series G convertible preferred stock as mezzanine equity as it redeemable in quarterly installments. The Company adjusts the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock by accreting the discount and accruing dividends to the state the convertible preferred stock at redemption value each reporting period. |
| Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as assets or liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as assets, liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date. |
| Warrants | Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (see Note 11). |
| Modification of warrants | Modification of warrants The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40 to account for warrants that are liability classified that are subsequently modified resulting in a reclassification to equity. The warrants are remeasured at fair value on the modification date, the change in fair value is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the warrants are reclassified to additional paid-in capital. |
| Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share | Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share The Company computes basic and diluted net loss per share under the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic and diluted net loss for common stock equivalents is computed by dividing the dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per stock of Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. See Note 3 Potentially Dilutive Securities. |
| Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity | Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares. Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity. |
| Reclassification | Reclassification Certain balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. In the prior year, the Company separately disclosed salaries and benefits and in the current year the Company has reclassified these costs on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations within general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in temporary and stockholders’ equity, or cash flows. |
