Share-Based
Compensation

We
issue share-based compensation to employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance stock units
(PSUs). We account for the share-based awards by recognizing the fair value of share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis
over the service period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs and non-executive PSUs is determined by the closing price of our common
stock on the grant date or the period end date for the awards that are being measured by the service inception date. For performance-based
awards, expense is recognized when it is probable the performance criteria will be achieved. If the likelihood becomes improbable that
the performance criteria will be achieved, the expense is reversed. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs (other than certain executive
PSUs) is determined by the closing price of our common stock on the grant date or the period end date for the awards that are being measured
by the service inception date. Executive PSUs issued in 2022 were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model using the following inputs:
stock price, volatility, and risk-free interest rates. Changes in estimated inputs or using other option valuation methods may result
in materially different option values and share-based compensation expense.

Leases

Significant
judgment may be required when determining whether a contract contains a lease, the length of the lease term, the allocation of the consideration
in a contract between lease and non-lease components, and the determination of the discount rate included in our office lease. We review
the underlying objective of each contract, the terms of the contract, and consider our current and future business conditions when making
these judgments.

Derivative
Liability

We
evaluate our financial instruments, specifically, our notes payable, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the issuance date and is
then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as an unrealized gain or loss in earnings on the consolidated
statements of operations.
