7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and income tax payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Prior to being fully exercised, common stock warrants, which were classified as a liability, were recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.

 

The measurement of fair value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

 

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

 

•

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.

 

 

•

Level 3 – Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to third parties.

 

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of  September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $52.9 million and $95.1 million, respectively, of cash equivalents classified as Level 1 financial instruments. There were no Level 2 or Level 3 financial instruments as of  September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
