4. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized within a three-level fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

As of September 30, 2025, a summary of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows, in thousands:

Valuation Techniques

 

 

Convertible Note (fair value option): Valued using unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3).

 

 

Warrant Liability: Valued using unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3).

 

As the remaining balances on the convertible notes issued April 19, 2024 and October 1, 2024 have identical terms and maturity dates, the Company grouped them together. The Company measures the April 19, 2024 and October 1, 2024 convertible notes, and April 19, 2024 private placement warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and applying the following assumptions as of September 30, 2025:

The following table presents changes of the convertible notes measured at fair value with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of September 30, 2025. As the terms of the notes are mostly identical the Company has combined the amounts as shown below:

Warrants Issued in April 2025:

 

On April 28, 2025 the Company issued warrants, as contractually adjusted due to the 2025 Stock Split, to purchase up to 1,199,295 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire on October 28, 2030. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in the event of a fundamental transaction involving the Company or if the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants are not covered by a registration statement. The exercise price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection, subject to certain price limitations and certain exceptions, upon any subsequent transaction at a price lower than the exercise price then in effect and standard adjustments in the event of certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes. The 1,199,295 warrants issued to 3i contain features that independently and collectively require it to be classified as a derivative liability. As a result, the warrants must be measured at fair value at issuance and remeasured to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in value recorded in earnings. Because the warrants were issued in connection with an amendment to the 3i convertible notes which are accounted for using the fair value option, the Company initially recognized a finance charge of $753,004 the upon issuance. Periodic changes after the initial issuance are recognized through earnings.

 

The fair values of these Level 3 liabilities are sensitive to unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, including discount rates, expected term, expected volatility, path dependency parameters and estimates of various payout outcomes. Changes to these inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
