Fair Value Measurements

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are accessible at the reporting date. Because valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2: Valuation is determined from pricing inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Observable inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3: Valuation is based on inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Level 3 inputs includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value generally require significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value Considerations

Financial instruments recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other liabilities and accounts payable. The Company believes that the carrying value of its current financial instruments approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility approximates the fair value due to their nature and level of risk.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company has certain non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when there is an indicator of impairment, and they are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized. These assets include goodwill and intangible assets, net.

The below table shows the quantitative information for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Goodwill and Intangibles Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and if triggering events are noted prior to the annual assessment. Impairment is deemed to occur when the carrying value associated with the reporting unit exceeds the implied value associated with the reporting unit. We estimated the fair value of our reporting units utilizing an income approach (discounted cash flow method), which incorporated significant unobservable Level 3 inputs.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, an impairment assessment was performed on goodwill for the Ad Network, Owned & Operated and Insights reporting units. The assessment indicated that the carrying value was in excess of its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $786,000.

There was no triggering event or impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company is required to perform an analysis of the change in each amendment to the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility to determine whether the change is a modification or an extinguishment of debt. Under a modification, no gain or loss is recorded, and a new effective interest rate is established based on the carrying value of the debt and revised cash flow. If the debt is extinguished, the old debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value, which becomes the new carrying value.

The Company calculates the present value of the cash flows under the terms of each new amendment and determines if it was substantially different by at least 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flow of the original debt instrument. Amendments Twenty-Two, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Four, and Twenty-Five were considered modifications. For further information on modifications and extinguishments, see the amendments table within Note 10, Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility, to the consolidated financial statements.
