Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2025

1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

zSpace, Inc. (“zSpace” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2006 and is headquartered in San Jose, California with wholly owned subsidiaries in China and Japan. The Company is the developer of full-service augmented reality/virtual reality (“AR/VR”) solutions built for K-12 education and career technical education. zSpace’s primary product is a mixed reality hardware device that provides an immersive, collaborative, and interactive learning experience. zSpace generates revenues via hardware sales in addition to recurring software revenue for access to zSpace interactive learning applications. The Company’s customer base includes federal, state, and local governments who are making large investments in education technology.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.

The Company has prepared its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity Risk and Going Concern

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $5.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $4.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The Company had combined cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $1.1 million and $4.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company’s prospects are subject to risks, expenses, and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the technology industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty of successfully developing its products, availability of additional financing, gaining customer acceptance, and uncertainty of achieving future profitability. The Company’s success depends on obtaining additional financing, increasing sales, expanding its partnerships with resellers, controlling costs, and continued research and development activities to improve product offerings to end-users. The Company has historically funded its operations through the issuance of common and temporary redeemable preferred stock to private investors (Note 6), the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) in December 2024 and debt financing (Note 5). The Company evaluated its financial condition as of the date of issuance and determined it is probable that, without

consideration of a remediation plan to refinance existing debt facilities and raise new sources of capital, the Company would be unable to meet repayment obligations and the ongoing working capital shortfall in the next twelve months, and there is uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The conditions identified above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the outcome of this uncertainty.

Foreign Operations

Operations outside the United States include subsidiaries in China and Japan. Foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes to existing tax laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government price or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on currency exchange.

Initial Public Offering

On December 6, 2024, we completed the IPO of 2.2 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which included 0.3 million shares sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares. After underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.8 million and offering expenses of $2.5 million, we received net proceeds from the IPO of $7.5 million. In connection with the IPO,4.0 million outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into 18.7 million shares of common stock. See Note 6 (Temporary Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity) for more information.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the notes to financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and have not changed significantly since those financial statements were issued.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an EGC or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. The Company expects to use the extended transition period for any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which it remains an EGC.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, and investments with original maturities of three months or less, such as the Company’s money market funds, to be cash and cash equivalents.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and December 31, 2024, to the amounts reported on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):

​​​​​​​
​ · March 31, · ​ · December 31,
​ · ​ · 2025 · 2024
Cash​$798​$1,329
Cash equivalents​​24​​3,228
Restricted cash​307​307
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash​$1,129​$4,864

The restricted cash is legally restricted to secure credit card charges incurred by the Company.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Expected credit losses include losses expected based on known credit issues with specific customers as well as a general expected credit loss allowance based on relevant information, including historical loss rates, current conditions, and reasonable economic forecasts that affect collectability. The Company updates its allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis with changes in the allowance recognized in income from operations. The Company reserves for any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for credit losses.

After all attempts to collect accounts, receivable balances have failed, the balance is written off against the allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reported an allowance for credit losses balance of $46,000 and $44,000, respectively.

Classification of Redeemable Preferred Stock as Temporary Equity

The Company applies the guidance in Accounting Standards Committee (“ASC”) 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity “ASC 480”), to determine the classification of financial instruments issued. The Company first determines if the instruments should be classified as liabilities under this guidance based on the redemption features, if mandatorily redeemable or not, and the method of redemption, if in cash, a variable number of shares or a fixed number of shares.

If the terms provide that an instrument is mandatorily redeemable in cash, or the holder can compel a settlement in cash, or will be settled in a variable number of shares predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount, the instrument is generally classified as a liability. Instruments that are settled by issuing a fixed number of shares are generally classified as equity instruments. None of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock was accounted for as a liability as none of the above-mentioned conditions were present.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation did not provide redemption rights to the holders of the Series A preferred stock. If a liquidation event had occurred, all the funds and assets of the Company available for distribution among all the stockholders would have been distributed based on a defined mechanism. Although the Series A preferred stock was not redeemable, in the event of certain “deemed liquidation events” that were not solely within the Company’s control (including merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or public offerings), the holders of the preferred stock would have been entitled to preference amounts paid before distribution to other stockholders and hence effectively redeeming the preference amount outside of the Company’s control. In accordance with Accounting Series Release No. 268 (“ASR 268”) and ASC 480, the Company’s Series A redeemable preferred shares were classified outside of stockholders’ deficit in temporary equity as a result of these in-substance contingent redemption rights.

The Company’s certification of incorporation, as amended in August 2022, allowed the holders of the newly issued non-convertible non-voting preferred shares (“NCNV preferred shares”) to redeem the shares, at the election of the majority of the holders, on or after March 15, 2023. The amended articles did not change any of the rights and privileges of the Company’s previously issued Series A preferred stock, other than providing liquidation and dividend preferences to

the NCNV holders over all other stockholders. As the redemption of the NCNV preferred stock was outside of the control of the Company, in accordance with ASR 268 and ASC 480, the Company’s NCNV preferred shares were classified outside of stockholders’ deficit prior to redemption. As discussed in Note 6, the NCNV preferred shares were redeemable at the option of the majority holder with the passage of time. Therefore, the Company accreted the carrying value of the NCNV preferred shares to its redemption value using the effective interest method.

On July 12, 2024, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change the issue price per share of the NCNV Preferred Stock from $1,000 to $600. The Company accounted for this amendment as an extinguishment. A new basis of accounting for the modified preferred shares resulted and was accounted for as a redemption, which recognized the modified shares at their fair value and derecognized the old instrument’s carrying amount with the difference recorded to additional paid-in capital.

On December 29, 2023, as part of a recapitalization, the NCNV preferred shares were converted into NCNV 1, NCNV 2 and NCNV 3 preferred stock. In connection with a recapitalization, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended in December 2023 to include various liquidation preferences to the preferred stockholders over all common stockholders.

Upon the completion of the IPO on December 6, 2024 and the conversion of the Series A preferred stock into common stock, no shares are outstanding of the Series A preferred stock at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Deferred Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that are directly related to the Company’s planned public offering transactions. These costs are charged to stockholders’ equity (deficit) upon the completion of the transaction. The Company incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $0.3 million in offering costs related to a separate planned public offering, the IPO, that was completed in December 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their relatively short-term maturities and are classified as short-term assets and liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. The following table represents the fair value hierarchy for the financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had embedded derivatives related to its outstanding debt instruments. With the conversion of the debt instruments into common stock in connection with the IPO on December 6, 2024, the Company will no longer need to continue to assess the fair value of the embedded derivatives at each year end.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves income tax disclosures through enhanced disaggregation

within the rate reconciliation table and disaggregation of income taxes paid byjurisdiction. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU on its disclosures effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of this ASU has had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which clarifies how an entity should determine whether profits interest or similar awards are within the scope of ASC 718. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU and does not expect a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 to disaggregate income statement expenses in their financial disclosures. This new standard aims to provide investors with more detailed information about the types of expenses included in commonly presented expense captions, such as cost of sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), and research and development. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its disclosures.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act. For so long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards unless and until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act for the adoption of accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or(ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

3.REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company capitalized $30,500 of debt discount and issuance costs on term loans incurred. Debt discount and issuance costs incurred on convertible debt instruments were either eliminated through restructuring or extinguishment accounting or were considered immaterial and expensed when incurred for the period ended March 31, 2024.

As a result of the May 2022 troubled debt restructurings, which are described in further detail below, the maximum future cash flows of certain of the Company’s convertible debt instruments was less than the carrying amount of the debt at the time of restructuring. As a result of accounting for the troubled debt restructuring, contractual interest expense was greater than the corresponding amount recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for convertible debt instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, $0 and $0.9 million less interest expense was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations than contractual interest requirements.

Kuwait Investment Authority Loan

In February 2019, the Company entered into a $5.0 million promissory note with Kuwait Investment Authority (“KIA”) a principal shareholder. The note accrued interest at 2.8% per year and was due on- demand at any point in time after December 31, 2020. Principal and interest were due at maturity and would be accelerated upon an event of default or a change in control. The Company would grant KIA a warrant in the event of certain dilutive issuances. The Company evaluated the loan for embedded derivatives that require bifurcation and separate accounting and noted that there were none.

In December 2020, the Company and KIA amended the note to (1) extend the earliest put date to December 31, 2022; (2) remove the change of control redemption and anti-dilution features; (3) add a repayment premium of 150.0%; (4) add a redemption option upon the occurrence of a qualified public offering or equity financing; (5) add a conversion option, and (6) execute a subordination agreement, eliminating any uncertainty that the KIA loan was subordinate to the bSpace loan. Upon the occurrence of a qualified public offering the loan will automatically convert into shares of the Company at the original issue price of the listing. Upon the occurrence of a non-qualified public offering or other equity financing, the note will convert into shares of the Company issued in the event at the issuance price, should bSpace elect to convert its loan. Additionally, the note may convert into a next round of preferred stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (1) $110.0 million or (b)4 x the Company’s trailing 12-month revenue divided by the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and (2) shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock plan, or other stock. The note will convert, should bSpace elect to convert its loan. The Company accounted for the December 2020 modification as an extinguishment of the existing loan and execution of a new loan. As a result, the Company recorded a loss from extinguishment of debt of $6.2 million, which was included in loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. In connection with the modification, the Company granted KIA a warrant to purchase shares of common stock. The warrants had a fair value of $0.4 million at issuance, which the Company recorded as part of the loss on extinguishment of debt. All issued warrants expired December 31, 2020.

In September 2021, the Company and KIA amended the loan in connection with the Revolving Line of Credit. The amendment further subordinated the loan to the Revolving Line of Credit and extended the maturity date of the loan to February 2024. The Company did not pay the holder any consideration in exchange for the modification. The Company

accounted for the September 2021 modification as a troubled debt restructuring. The Company did not recognize any gain on the restructuring of the loan as the undiscounted future cash flows of the loan exceeded the carrying amount.

As of December 31, 2021, gross principal amounts due under the KIA loan, including the repayment premium, were $12.5 million and interest accrued on the KIA loan at 2.75% per annum. The KIA loan is redeemable upon the occurrence a qualified public offering or equity financing and is convertible upon a non-qualified public offering or other equity financing. Upon the occurrence of a qualified public offering the loan will automatically convert into shares of the Company at the original issue price of the listing. Upon the occurrence of a non-qualified public offering or other equity financing, the note will convert into shares of the Company issued in the event at the issuance price, should bSpace elect to convert its loan. Additionally, the note may convert into a next round of preferred stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of $110.0 million or (b)4 x the Company’s trailing 12-month revenue divided by the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and (2) shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock plan, or other stock. The note will convert, should bSpace elect to convert its loan.

As of December 31, 2021, the loan contained a contingent beneficial conversion feature, subject to the establishment of the Company’s next round preferred stock. As of January 1, 2022, upon the Company’s adoption of ASU 2020-06 the Company stopped assessing the contingent beneficial conversion feature for recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On May 16, 2022, contemporaneously with the execution of the EdtechX Merger Agreement, the Company and KIA entered into an Amendment and Conversion Agreement (“KIA Conversion Agreement”). The terms of the KIA loan were amended to provide that: (a) $8.1 million of the Company’s indebtedness would convert into 8,062 shares of the new NCNV preferred stock no more than 90 days from the date of agreement and (b) approximately $5.0 million of the Company’s indebtedness will be retired in conjunction with a purchase of 492,610 shares of EdtechX by KIA pursuant to a private placement to occur in connection with the consummation of a private investment in a public entity (“PIPE”).

The Company accounted for the KIA Conversion Agreement as a troubled debt restructuring due to the difference between the fair value of the 8,062 shares of NCNV preferred stock issued in exchange for $8.1 million of the Company’s indebtedness. Upon the execution of the KIA conversion agreement, the Company stopped accruing interest on the loan since the maximum undiscounted amount of the future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the loan. In August 2022 the Company completed the authorization of the NCNV preferred stock, exchanged $8.1 million of the loan for 8,062 shares of NCNV preferred stock, and recorded a restructuring gain of $0.8 million. The restructuring gain was calculated as the difference between the maximum undiscounted amount of future cash flows, including the fair value of 8,062 shares of NCNV preferred stock, and the carrying amount of the KIA loan. The Company considered the potential conversion of the KIA loan in connection with the merger to be a contingent payment. The impact of the conversion was excluded from the determination of the restructuring gain, as its inclusion could result in the recognition of a restructuring gain based on events that were not certain to occur. On June 21, 2023, the EdtechX merger agreement was terminated. As a result, no conversions contingent upon the EdtechX merger will occur. Refer to Note 6 for detailed information pertaining to the rights and privileges of the NCNV preferred stock. The effective interest rate of the KIA loan was 4.9% in 2022 until interest accruals were ceased upon the execution of the KIA conversion agreement, as described above. As of December 31, 2023, the gross principal amount due on the loan was $5.0 million.

In January 2024, the Company entered into a loan termination agreement under which all remaining amounts outstanding under the KIA loan, plus unearned interest calculated post the maturity date through July 31, 2024 of $0.1 million, were redeemed for 5,752 shares of newly created NCNV Preferred Stock 2 as described in Note 6. Refer to Note 6 for details regarding the rights and privileges of the NCNV preferred stock series. The January 2024 conversion agreement relieved the Company of any further obligations under the KIA loan.

Fiza Investments Limited Loan

September 2022 Convertible Debt

In September 2022, the Company entered into a short form loan agreement with Fiza Investments Limited (“Fiza”) and received $2.5 million to help the Company meet immediate working capital requirements “Tranche I Loan”). In

November 2022, the Convertible Loan and Security Agreement (“Convertible LSA”) was executed and provided for loans up to $5.0 million and received the remaining $2.5 million (“Tranche II loans”).

The loan was due on or before September 12, 2023, and bears an interest rate of 13% per annum. The loan was secured by the Company’s assets. The loan required mandatory prepayment upon (1) an event of default; (2)any listing of the Company’s securities; or (3) a change of control.

On July 11, 2024, an amendment to the loan was executed whereby the lender waived the events of default occurring under the loan and the maturity date of the loan was extended to July 31, 2026.

With the completion of the IPO on December 6, 2024, the outstanding balance of$5.0 million is no longer convertible into zSpace common stock. The principal balance and accrued interest are due on July 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, gross principal amounts due on the convertible loan were$5.0 million and have been classified as non-current other term loans on the balance sheet.

If the debt has not otherwise been redeemed prior to the maturity date, the holder has the option to convert the loan into shares of the Company at an assumed price per share, using a$150 million valuation for the Company. In connection with the Company’s IPO on December 6, 2024, the March 2024 convertible debt was converted into 1,176,471 shares of common stock. No amount of the March 2024 convertible debt was outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

7.STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

Equity incentive plans

The Company adopted an equity incentive plan in 2007 (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan allows a specific Committee, or the Board of Directors, to grant incentive stock options to employees, and nonqualified stock options and other stock awards to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. Equity awards are granted with an exercise price per share equal to at least the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The vesting period is determined through individual award agreements and is generally over afour-year period. Awards generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company later adopted an additional equity incentive plan in 2017 (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan allows a specific Committee, or the Board of Directors, to grant incentive stock options to employees, and nonqualified stock options and other stock awards to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. Equity awards are granted with an exercise price per share equal to at least the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The vesting period is determined through individual award agreements and is generally over afour-year period. Awards generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Since the inception of both the 2007 and 2017 Plans, the Company’s Board and its stockholders have voted to increase the shares of common stock reserved under the plans on several occasions.

In December 2024, the Company adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Stock Plan”) to provide for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock or cash-based awards to our directors, employees, non-employee directors and service providers. Equity awards are granted with an exercise price per share equal to at least the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The vesting period is determined through individual award agreements. Awards generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

On February 13, 2025, the Company granted 724,646 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) to our named executive officers and the Board of Directors under the 2024 Stock Plan at a fair market value of $12.9 million. The 0.7 million officer and director RSUs vest at quarterly periods overone tothree years. On March 31, 2025, the Company granted 620,934 RSUs to employees at a fair market value of $4.6 million. The 0.6 million employee RSUs vest at quarterly periods over three years.

As of March 31, 2025, the maximum number of shares available for issuance to participants pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan is 1,362,595. The shares available for issuance under the 2024 Stock Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or reacquired shares. As of December 31, 2024, there wereno shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards under the 2024 Plan.

As of March 31, 2025,8,692,379 shares were authorized under the 2007, 2017 and 2024 Stock Plans. Shares forfeited due to employee termination or expiration are returned to the share pool. Similarly, shares withheld upon exercise to provide for the exercise price and/or taxes due and shares repurchased by the Company are also returned to the pool. Since December 6, 2024, we have not granted and do not intend to grant any further awards under the 2007 and 2017 Stock Plans.

Determination of fair value of stock options

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately 6.0 million options outstanding under both Plans. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all options outstanding were granted solely with time-based vesting requirements.

There wereno options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The fair value of the stock options outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

​​​​​
​​​March 31,​
​ · ​ · ​ · 2024
Dividend yield​—​
Expected term​5.0 - 6.1 years​
Risk-free interest rates​​1.0% - 4.1%​
Expected volatility​​54.9% - 65.1%​

*Dividend Yield —*The dividend yield is assumed to bezero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to do so.

*Expected Term —*The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected term using the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options, including the date provided for completion of the performance condition event.

*Expected Volatility —*Because the Company does not have any trading history of its common stock, the expected volatility is derived from the average historical stock volatilities of several unrelated public companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to its business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.

*Fair Value of Common Stock —*Given the absence of a public trading market, the Company’s Board of Directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its common stock at each grant date. These factors included, but were not limited to: (i) independent third-party valuations of common stock; (ii) the prices for the Company’s redeemable temporary redeemable preferred stock sold to outside investors; (iii) the rights and preferences of redeemable temporary redeemable preferred stock relative to common stock; (iv) the lack of marketability of its common stock; (v) developments in the business; and(vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions.

A summary of the Company’s stock option plan and the changes during the period ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:

As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost was approximately $17.0 million which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the period waszero.

March and May 2024 Stock Option Issuance

In March 2024, the Company granted employees and members of the Board of Directors stock options to purchase a total of 5,028,756 shares of common stock. The stock options have varying vesting periods ranging from immediate at time of the grant tothree years from grant date or service start date, are exercisable at $2.57 per share and have an expiration period of 10 years. These stock option grants were issued from the 2017 Stock Plan.

In May 2024, the Company granted an advisor stock options to purchase a total of 27,088 shares of common stock. The stock options were fully vested on the grant date, are exercisable at $2.57 per share and have an expiration period of 10 years. These stock option grants were issued from the 2017 Stock Plan.

8.TAXES

The Company estimates an annual effective tax rate of (0.20)% for the year ending December 31, 2025 as the Company incurred losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and expects to continue to incur losses through the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, resulting in an estimated net loss for both financial statement and tax purposes for the year ending December 31, 2025. Therefore, no federal or state income taxes are expected outside of state minimum tax payments. The effective rate during this period includes income tax benefits and exclusions associated with convertible debt interest and changes in valuation allowances related to future deductible temporary differences.

Due to the Company’s history of losses since inception, there is not enough evidence at this time to support that the Company will generate future income of a sufficient amount and nature to utilize the benefits of its net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets have been reduced by a full valuation allowance, since the Company does not currently believe that realization of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not. As of March 31, 2025, the Company hasno uncertain tax positions that require the establishment of a reserve.

9.NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per common share (“EPS”) is presented for both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common shares equivalents outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of in-the-money options and convertible securities. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and the amount of compensation cost for future service that has not yet been recognized are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Diluted EPS for convertible securities is calculated using the ‘if- converted’ method, assuming all convertible securities outstanding during the period were converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, resulting in an adjustment to both the numerator (net income) and denominator (weighted average shares outstanding) to reflect the potential dilution from such conversions.

When an entity has a loss from operations, including potential shares in the denominator of diluted per share computations will generally be anti-dilutive, even if the entity has net income after adjusting for discontinued operations. That is, including potential shares in the denominator of the earnings per share calculation for a loss-making entity will generally decrease the loss per share and, therefore, those shares should be excluded from calculations of diluted earnings per share.

In computing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders, adjustments to the carrying value of preferred shares as a result of a modification accounted for as an extinguishment during a period should be subtracted or added to the net income (loss) in arriving at the net income (loss) available to common shareholders.

The following data show the amounts used in computing EPS and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

​​​​​​​
​Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except share and per share data) · 2025 · 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the following items have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of including these would have been anti-dilutive:

The Convertible Note Financing closed on April 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”).

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Convertible Note Financing, prior to the payment of legal fees and transaction expenses, was $13,000,000. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue an additional Note to the Investor in the principal amount of $7,526,882 (for additional gross proceeds of $7,000,000). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Convertible Note Financing to repay existing debt and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Investor.

Description of the Note

The Note was issued with an original issue discount of 7.0% and accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. The Note matures on April 11, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), unless extended pursuant to the terms thereof. Interest on the Note is guaranteed through the Maturity Date regardless of whether the Note is earlier converted or redeemed. The Note is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all the assets of the Company, including its intellectual property.

The Note is convertible (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the Maturity Date into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the sum of (i) the portion of the principal amount to be converted or redeemed, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount, and (iii) all accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such principal and interest amounts, if any, divided by (y) a conversion price of $12.39 per share (“Initial Conversion Price”) (such shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, the “Conversion Shares”). In addition, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares and before the 90 th day after the Closing Date, the Investor has the right to convert up to $750,000 (or a higher amount mutually agreed upon by the parties) principal per month, priced at 97% of the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the conversion. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in certain cases, the Investor must limit the selling of Common Stock to the higher of (i)15% of the daily trading volume or (ii) $100,000 per trading day.
