−Removed: be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive
−Removed: compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the board.
−Removed: If the board cannot determine the amount of excess incentive compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information

+Added: unless they meet the criteria for derivative accounting under ASC 815.
+Added: Under this guidance, there is no longer
+Added: a separation of liability and equity components, and therefore no allocation of proceeds to an equity component or recognition of a debt
+Added: discount related to conversion features.
+Added: Interest expense is recognized based on the contractual coupon rate, eliminating the additional
+Added: non-cash interest expense that previously resulted from amortizing a debt discount.
+Added: If a conversion of the bonds occurs at more favorable terms than the original
+Added: agreement, the Company assesses whether an inducement is present.
+Added: Any incremental fair value transferred in excess of the fair value of
+Added: the original securities or consideration issuable is recognized as a debt conversion expense.
+Added: (s) Fair value of financial instruments
+Added: 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements.

+Added: that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
+Added: accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:
+Added: inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
+Added: other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
+Added: These include quoted prices for
+Added: similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that
+Added: are not active.
+Added: inputs of which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
+Added: 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities
+Added: at fair value (fair value option).
+Added: The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable
+Added: unless a new election date occurs.
+Added: If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that
+Added: instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

+Added: its PIPE Convertible Notes described in Note 14, Convertible bonds and notes .

+Added: Changes in fair value of debt presented in the “Other income”
+Added: or “Other expenses” line item under other income in the statements of operations.
+Added: Company estimates the fair value of its PIPE Convertible Notes using the Income Approach (Binomial Option Pricing Model).
+Added: The fair value
+Added: measurement incorporates both observable and unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
+Added: PIPE Convertible Notes were initially recognized on August 31, 2024, upon issuance.
+Added: of August 31, 2024, and December 31, 2024, the key assumptions used in the valuation were as follows:

+Added: Used in Valuation
+Added: Key Assumptions

+Added: December 31, 2024
+Added: Stock Price (USD)
+Added: Risk-Free Rate (%)
+Added: Volatility Rate (%)
+Added: Bond Yield (%)
+Added: fair value derived from the Binomial Option Pricing Model reflected changes in market conditions, including fluctuations in stock price,
+Added: volatility, and credit risk.
+Added: While the valuation as of December 31, 2024, incorporated updated assumptions, the resulting change in fair
+Added: value was determined to be negligible.
+Added: the immaterial impact of the valuation changes on the financial statements, management has determined that no adjustment is necessary
+Added: to the fair value of the PIPE Convertible Notes from the initial recognition date (August 31, 2024) through year-end (December 31, 2024).
