NOTE 6 – WARRANT LIABILITIES

 

The Company evaluated the IPO Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the IPO Warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the IPO Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the IPO Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the IPO Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. Pursuant to such evaluation, the Company further evaluated the IPO Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and concluded that the IPO Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity.

 

During November 2021, 1,120,000 Public Warrants were exercised at a price of $6.25 per share for total proceeds of $7,000,000. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 3,680,000 Public Warrants and 240,000 Representative Warrants remain outstanding.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the Public Warrants was approximately $0.065 per Public Warrant based on the closing price of the warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The fair value of the Representative Warrants was approximately $0.031 per Representative Warrant which was based on the relative fair value to the Public Warrants.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Public Warrants was approximately $0.37 per Public Warrant which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $6.25, dividend yield of 0%, term of 5 years, volatility of 61.1%, and risk-free rate of 1.22%. The fair value of the Representative Warrants was approximately $0.38 per Representative Warrant which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $6.00, dividend yield of 0%, term of 5 years, volatility of 61.1%, and risk-free rate of 1.22%.
