Note 4: Fair Value Measurements

As of January 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had $20.1 million and $17.9 million in cash, respectively.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments. As of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025, the total amount of non-marketable equity investments in privately held companies included in other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets was $3.3 million. This balance represents investments in preferred shares of Global Telecom Corporation (“GTC”), a privately-held technology company.

The Company’s non-marketable equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values. Under the measurement alternative election, the Company accounts for these non-marketable equity securities at cost and remeasures to fair value upon observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer or upon impairment. These investments are not eligible for the net-asset-value practical expedient from fair value measurement. The measurement alternative election is reassessed each reporting period to determine whether the non-marketable equity investments continue to be eligible for this election. The Company classifies these non-marketable equity investments as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

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.
