During the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued 75,000 and 105,000 warrants, respectively, in exchange for certain financial advisory services. The warrants vest over six-month periods, have exercise prices of $6.50 and $8.73 per share, respectively, and expire three years from issuance. The Company determined the warrants issued in exchange for financial advisory services met the scope exception in ASC 815 and are therefore classified as equity. The Company determined the initial fair value of the advisory warrants issued during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 to be $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which will be recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the warrants, see Note 13.

Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the advisory warrants granted during the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
