2.We understand from your disclosures in the last paragraph on page F-9 and the second
paragraph on page F-10 that you have classified warrants issued on March 18, 2022 and
April 10, 2023 as liabilities because the warrant agreement provisions may either
require net-cash settlement if an event occurs that is not within your control, or provide
the counterparty with an option to choose net-cash settlement.

number of years during the exercise period when such an event may occur, and the share
price volatility that is assumed to follow. However, this term is not referenced or
defined within the Securities Purchase Agreements at Exhibits 10.14 and 10.17, which
otherwise appear to be associated with the financing transactions.
Please expand your disclosures to describe the particular warrant provisions that have
resulted in your liability classification; and to clarify how a "fundamental transaction" is
defined and relevant to the classification and valuation of your warrants.
You may refer to FASB ASC 505-10-50-3 if you require further guidance on the
associated disclosure requirements.
Tell us the specific language within the exhibits referenced above that correlates with your
assessments, or if there are incremental contractual arrangements that govern the manner
of settlement provide those documents for our review.
Please submit the analysis that you performed of the contractual provisions and specific
accounting guidance in formulating your view on the classification.
