9. Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Restricted cash includes a separately maintained cash account, as required under the terms of a lease agreement the Company entered into on  October 10, 2018 for office space in New York City. On  April 15, 2025, the Company received the landlord’s consent for the second amendment to its sublease, which reduced the subleased premises and payments, effective March 19, 2025. The consent also approved the extension of the sublease term by four years, effective April 15, 2025. In connection with this lease agreement, the Company recorded $710 in non-current restricted cash as of December 31, 2025, and $1,255 in current restricted cash as of December 31, 2024, on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company regards the fair value of its long-term debt to approximate its carrying value. 
 
The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of  December 31, 2025  and  December 31, 2024 :

Inclusive of the credit facilities and notes payable. The debt fair value does not include debt issuance costs or debt discount. See Note 8, Debt, net.

(2)

Balance recorded in prepaid and other expenses and other non-current assets with changes to the balance as a result of adjustment of the fair value related to the initial discount rate and payments made.

 

Convertible Notes, with related parties

 

The Company issued the Convertible Notes on  August 19, 2024 and elected the fair value option, see Note 8, Long-term debt, net. The following is a reconciliation of the fair value from December 31, 2024 to  December 31, 2025:

 $3,734 

 

As the Convertible Notes mature on  April 2, 2029, and bear interest at 13% per annum paid in kind but  may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the "call option"), the estimated fair value is computed as the sum of (a) the present value of the expected interest and principal payments using the discounted cash flow method based on an estimated discount rate and (b) the fair value of the call option computer using the Black-Scholes model. Both approaches are based on the following assumptions:

Contingent Consideration 

 

In connection with the contingent consideration received related to the consolidation of TAPP, the Company had to determine the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired, excluding the net working capital, was a Level 3 measurement, as certain inputs to determine fair value were unobservable. See Note 14, Variable Interest Entity.

The fair value of certain long-lived non-financial assets and liabilities  may be required to be measured on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, including when there is evidence of impairment. As of  December 31, 2025, certain non-financial assets have been measured at fair value subsequent to their initial recognition. The Company determined the estimated fair value to be a Level 3 measurement, as certain inputs used to determine fair value are unobservable. See Note 7Goodwill.
