During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company granted 44,445 and 0 new options. respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the assumption and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:

Exercise price	$	5.01
Expected dividend yield		0	%
Risk free interest rate		4.49	%
Expected life in years		10
Expected volatility		164	%

The risk-free interest rate assumption for options granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term of option.

The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for options granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future option grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.

The dividend yield assumption for option granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company recognizes option forfeitures as they occur, as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.

Warrants

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the fair value of each warrant granted was estimated using the assumption and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:

Exercise price	$	300-2,300
Expected dividend yield		0	%
Risk free interest rate		1.13%-3.47	%
Expected life in years		5-5.50
Expected volatility		147-165	%

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the fair value of each warrant granted was estimated using the assumption and/or factors in the Black-Scholes Model as follows:

Exercise price	$	7.50-20.00
Expected dividend yield		0	%
Risk free interest rate		2.55%-3.47	%
Expected life in years		5.00-5.50
Expected volatility		147%-165	%

The risk-free interest rate assumption for warrants granted is based upon observed interest rates on the United States Government Bond Equivalent Yield appropriate for the expected term of warrants.

The Company determined the expected volatility assumption for warrants granted using the historical volatility of comparable public companies’ common stock. The Company will continue to monitor peer companies and other relevant factors used to measure expected volatility for future warrant grants, until such time that the Company’s common stock has enough market history to use historical volatility.

The dividend yield assumption for warrants granted is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its common stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The Company recognizes warrant forfeitures as they occur, as there is insufficient historical data to accurately determine future forfeitures rates.

Concurrently with the sale of the Pre-Funded Warrants, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in a concurrent private placement, for each Pre-Funded Warrant purchased by the investor, such investor received from the Company an unregistered warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase two shares of Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $34.40 per share and are exercisable for a three year period. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 2,379 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $61.00 per share and were valued at $56,742 using a Black Scholes valuation model. As these warrants were considered offering costs, they had a zero net effect on the Company’s equity.

The Common Warrants were valued at $32.3 million and the 60,000 warrants issued to the placement agents were valued at $1.9 million using a Black Scholes valuation model. As these warrants were considered offering costs, they had a zero net effect on the Company’s equity. The Private Placement closed on September 6, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were approximately $9 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds received from the Private Placement for (i) the payment of approximately $3.1 million in outstanding obligations, (ii) the repayment of approximately $0.4 million of outstanding debt, and (iii) the balance for continuing operating expenses and working capital.

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“the “Purchaser”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of (i) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,237,114 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, and (ii) warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,474,228 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a purchase price of $4.85 per share.

The Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $4.60 per share and have a term of exercise equal to three years from the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of certain outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company (“Outstanding Warrants”) held by the Purchaser to $4.60 per share in consideration for the cash payment by the Purchaser of $0.125 per share of Common Stock underlying the Outstanding Warrants, effective immediately. The Company issued a warrant to the placement agent to purchase up to 74,227 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.06 per share and were valued at $470,772 using a Black Scholes valuation model.
