a.
Valuation Processes-Level
3
Measurements:
The Company utilizes
third
-party valuation services that use complex models such as Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the value of our financial liabilities.
 
 
b.
Sensitivity Analysis-Level
3
Measurements:
Changes in the valuation of MT as a whole
may
cause material changes in the fair value of the MT warrants. Significant increases (decreases) in the valuation of MT, such as
may
be the result of additional financing, could result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. A change in the valuation of MT would
not
necessarily result in a directionally similar change in the value of the MT warrants.
