Common Stock Warrants

 

As described above in this Note 9, the Company issued 178,255 Series A Warrants and 178,255 Series B Warrants. In 2024, most of the Series B warrants were exercised. The Company accounts for these warrants, in the aggregate, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 815 “Derivative and Hedging” whereby under that provision the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrant instruments as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value each period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a gain for the change in fair value of warrant liability of $62,112 and $470,674, respectively, in the statement of operations. As of June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $328,610 of warrant liability.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s warrant liability for the Series A and Series B Warrants is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing management judgement and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company uses observable inputs like market prices for its common stock and risk-free interest rate, but requires estimations for factors like the Company’s own volatility, which is not directly quoted in active markets.

 

Measurement

 

The Company established the initial fair value for the warrant liability on August 20, 2024, the date the warrants were initially exercisable. Upon exercise, the instrument is marked to its fair value upon exercise, and the shares delivered are recorded at fair value in the Company’s statement of stockholders’ equity. The warrant liability was valued based on the following inputs for the Series A and Series B Warrants, respectively:
