Note 10 — Derivative Liability

 

In connection with the August 2025 employment agreement entered into with Alan Campbell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company committed to issue additional shares of common stock pursuant to an anti-dilution provision in the event of certain dilutive issuances. This provision was determined to meet the definition of a derivative liability under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and is therefore measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.

 

 

The fair value of the derivative liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant inputs to the model include the Company’s stock price, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the probability of triggering events occurring within the contractual term of the anti-dilution provision.

 

The following table presents the rollforward of the derivative liability:

 

Schedule of Derivative Liability 

    Amount  
Balance, December 31, 2025   $ 1,944,806  
Gain on remeasurement (three months ended March 31, 2026)     (706,056 )
Balance, March 31, 2026   $ 1,238,750  

 

The derivative liability is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the use of unobservable inputs. The Company recognized a gain of $706,056 on remeasurement of the derivative for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included in “Total other income (expense), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
