Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $2,753,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by third party validation testing of our proprietary silicon anode, professional fees, stock-based compensation, insurance, and other administrative costs associated with the Company operating as a public entity as of February 2, 2024.
Other Income (expense)
Other expense increased by $2,444,764 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was largely driven by a gain of $7,232,835 due to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities related to the Forward Purchase Agreement, and warrants related to the Private Placement financing. Additionally, there was a loss of $9,654,799 from the issuance of common stock and warrants related to the August Private Placement financing.
