| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is applied to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the guidance for fair value measurements are described below:
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Our Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, banker’s acceptances, trading securities, investments, and investment funds. The Company measures trading securities investments and investment funds at quoted market prices as they are traded in an active market with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified contractual term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Level 3 assets and liabilities include cost method investments. Quantitative information for Level 3 assets and liabilities reviewed at each reporting period includes indicators of significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, business prospects of the investee, and financial indicators of the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s fair value liabilities at March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, are as follows.
Digital Assets – SOL
On July 29, 2025, and January 7, 2026, the Company invested $998,642, and 1,000,567, respectively, in Solana (SOL) and staked our holdings. SOL is a fungible crypto asset that meets the criteria for an intangible asset, resides on a distributed ledger, is secured by cryptography, and does not grant enforceable rights to underlying goods or services to its holder. The digital assets were measured at fair value after acquisition, with changes reported in net income. Staking earnings are recorded as revenue.
Digital Asset staking allows holders of specific cryptocurrencies to earn rewards for helping to validate blocks of transaction data as it is submitted to the blockchain network.
The staking process serves two key purposes:
The staking process uses incentives and penalties governed by computer-based rules to encourage honest participation in the network. Stakers who act within the rules of the protocol receive rewards for their contributions, while those who act dishonestly can face penalties, such as losing their staked cryptocurrency through a process called slashing. Staking rewards are distributed as newly minted cryptocurrency units, oftentimes at a proportionate rate to the amount a person stakes. With some proof-of-stake blockchains, depositing more assets in a staking smart contract increases the chance of being selected to validate blocks. This mechanism is based on the assumption that those with more “skin in the game” are more likely to act within the best interests of the network because they have more to lose financially if their assets are slashed (confiscated by the network). However, to avoid favoring wealthier participants, some protocols incorporate randomness to ensure everyone, including those with smaller stakes, has a chance to earn rewards.
Staking incentives, in the form of additional SOL, are recognized on the date received at the fair market value on that date. There are no lockups or restrictions on the Company’s digital asset holdings due to staking.
The Company’s digital assets as of March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, are as follows.
The following table is a summary of our digital assets as of March 31, 2026.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active exchange-traded equity securities and equity index funds, as these securities all have quoted prices in active markets. These marketable securities are trading securities and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported under the caption other income/(expense), net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Warrant Liabilities
The value of the Series A Warrants is based on the market value of our common stock on the balance sheet date.
The fair value of the Series B Warrants is estimated on the balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common shares, expected share price volatility, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and the Company’s expected dividend yield.
At March 31, 2026, and September 30, 2025, the following inputs were used in the Black-Scholes model.
The following table summarizes information on warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2026.
