NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the relatively short-term nature of the underlying assets or liabilities.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The following tables show the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities by significant investment category as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

(1) No dividends were paid for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(2) The expected volatility is based on the volatility implied by backsolving to the Public Warrants' price as of the valuation date.

(3) The risk -free interest rate is based on the yield from U.S. Treasury bonds with an equivalent term to the time to maturity of the warrants.

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.
