11. Warrant liability

 

The Company accounted for the warrants to purchase 750,000 shares, issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement on Note 10, in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. These warrants contain provisions—such as a mandatory conversion feature upon a change in control—that preclude equity classification and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is 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. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Monte-Carlo option pricing model to determine the fair value of its liability-classified warrants. These instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. Key assumptions used in the valuation as of  March 31, 2025 and  December 31, 2024, included:
