INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively (in thousands):

(1)Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were 45 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 89 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $38 individually and $738 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 64% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. We have no material individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position greater than twelve months. We do not intend to sell these investments, and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

(2)At December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Funds held for clients represent assets that we have classified as restricted for use solely for the purposes of satisfying the obligations to remit funds relating to our payroll and payroll tax filing services, which are classified as client funds obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
