In connection with the transaction described in "Note 10 – Business Combinations", on May 1, 2024, the Company issued 945,605 shares of Common Stock to the previous stockholders of SAS and 889,725 shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of Coastal, of which 196,507 and 393,013 shares of Common Stock, respectively, shall be transferred on the 12-month anniversary of the transaction. As of September 30, 2025, such shares of Common Stock have not been transferred to the parties. The holders of such Common Stock have the option, but not the obligation, to exchange shares of the Company's Common Stock received as part of the purchase price for a promissory note (the "Put Option"). The Put Option is exercisable 24 months subsequent to the closing date for a period of 90 days thereafter. The Put Option met the criteria in ASC 815-15 and is therefore classified as a derivative liability at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. Refer to "Note 15 – Stockholders' Deficit" for further information on the underlying common shares. The fair value of the Put Option was $3.69 million as of September 30, 2025. The fair value of the Put Option was determined using the Black-Scholes simulation model based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy. The following inputs and assumptions were used for the periods presented:

 

   

Issuance Date

Share Price

  $ 0.71     $ 0.68  

Exercise Price

  $ 2.75     $ 2.75  

Expected Life (in Years)

Annualized Volatility

    88.0 %     92.0 %

Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate

    4.9 %     3.7 %

 

The Unsecured Promissory Note dated November 12, 2024, as amended and restated on December 31, 2024, referred to as the A&R Note, and the Unsecured Promissory Notes dated January 8, 2025  may be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock upon its next bona fide equity financing with proceeds of at least $10.00 million or such lesser amount as approved by the lender, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (x) 85% of the lowest price paid by the cash investors in such qualifying financing and (y) the price represented by a $30.00 million pre-money valuation of the Company (the "Conversion Option"). The conversion price is unknown at the issuance date and determined by future equity financing. The Conversion Option met the criteria in ASC 815-15 and is therefore classified as a derivative liability at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. On May 15, 2025, the Conversion Option was amended and no longer met the criteria in ASC 815-15 to be classified as a derivative liability. Refer to "Note 13 - Notes Payable" for further details on the extinguishment of debt. The fair value of the Conversion Option was $0.0 million as of  September 30, 2025. The fair value of the Conversion Option was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy. The following inputs and assumptions were used for the periods presented:

 

   

Issuance Date

   

September 30, 2025

 

Share Price

  $ 0.23     $  

Expected Life (in Years)

    1.50       0.00  

Annualized Volatility

Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate

    4.4 %     %

 

In connection with the A&R LOI dated May 13, 2025 described in "Note 10 – Business Combinations", the total consideration paid includes an earn-out provision based on the revenue of EWCR in the one-year following the closing date, upon which the seller of EWCR shall receive, at the seller's election: (i) $200,000 payable in cash or (ii) $200,000 payable in shares of Common Stock at $1.15 per share. If the seller elects payment in Common Stock, then the Company shall issue 10,938 warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.64 per share. The earn-out provision met the criteria in ASC 815-15 and is therefore classified as a derivative liability at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. The fair value of the earn-out provision was less than $0.01 million as of September 30, 2025.
