Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments not Carried at Fair Value
The Carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximated their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of other current assets and liabilities including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their fair value due to their short-term maturities.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company’s variable rate indebtedness consists of the new Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolver, respectively which bears interest at variable rates. The carrying value of the Company’s recognized borrowings under the new Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolver approximates their fair value as the debt is at variable rates currently available and resets on a monthly basis.
The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt, which consists of the Merger Note, Credit Agreement, Promissory Note as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the Factoring Agreements at December 31, 2025 is estimated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows using estimated rates which the Company believes approximate current market interest rate for similar obligations.
A summary of the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt is as follows:

About Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.

Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
