Common stock issued to Employees as Compensation

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 21,000 unrestricted shares of common stock to an employee as compensation and recorded share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.03 million in sales and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 16,000 unrestricted shares of common stock to an employee as compensation and recorded share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.01 million in sales and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Securities Purchase Agreements (“SPA”)

 

In December 2024, the Company completed a SPA with an institutional investor selling 1,990,000 shares of common stock at $2.65 per share and prefunded warrants to purchase up to 760,000 shares of common stock at $2.649 per warrant (which is convertible to one share of common stock on a one for one basis). The prefunded warrants had an exercise price of $0.001 per share of common stock, and were exercised in full in January 2025 for a de minimis amount (760,000 shares at $0.001 per share).

 

The Company realized total net proceeds (after underwriting and professional fees) of $6.79 million from the December 2024 SPA.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

In December 2024, an institutional investor exercised warrants (issued in connection with the November 2021 SPA) convertible into 100,000 shares of common stock. The Company realized proceeds of $0.18 million ($1.75 per share).

 

 

Common stock issued for Exercise of Stock Options

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued approximately 8,000 shares of common stock in cashless transactions upon exercise of the respective option grants and realized cash proceeds of zero.

In connection with the July 2021 initial public offering (“IPO”), the November 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) and the December 2024 SPA, the Company issued warrants, which are exercisable into Company common shares on a one-for-one basis, as detailed below. The warrants are not publicly traded.

 

The remaining outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2025 are:

    

   Warrants Outstanding   Exercise Price   Expiration Date
            
July 2021 IPO   87,500   $7.00   June 2026

Employee Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock Option issuance to Executives

 

In February 2023, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company granted certain executive officers 2.20 million stock options as a long-term incentive. The options have an exercise price of $7.00 per share. 0.22 million of these options vest ratably over four years (“Initial Options”). The remainder (“Target Options”) vest in fixed amounts based on achieving various revenue or common stock prices within seven years of grant date. Given the Company’s current stock price and revenue, the Company views the achievement of the milestones that would trigger vesting of the Target Options as remote.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, has approximately 13.17 million common shares reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 7.33 million shares available for issuance under the Plan. The shares available are after the granting of 1.98 million shares of executive Target Options.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to awards ratably over the requisite period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Stock options have been recorded at their fair value. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions used to value the issuance of stock options under the Plan for the specific periods below are noted in the following table:

    

             
   For the Three Months Ended
December 31,
   For the Six Months Ended
December 31,
 
   2025   2024   2025   2024 
Weighted average expected terms (in years)   5.5    6.0    5.8    6.0 
Weighted average expected volatility   120.3%   81.5%   125.3%   87.4%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate   3.9%   3.6%   4.0%   3.8%
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%

 

The grant date fair value for options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0.33 million and $0.11 million, respectively.
