Note 3: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value, is comprised of: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and (Level III) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value. Our assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

 

    March 31, 2026     September 30, 2025  
    Fair Value     Level I     Level II     Level III     Fair Value     Level I     Level II     Level III  
U.S. government securities   $ 34,175     $ 34,175     $ -     $ -     $ 18,391     $ 18,391     $ -     $ -  
Certificates of deposit     78,795       -       78,795       -       47,972       -       47,972       -  
Money market funds     6,623       6,623       -       -       45,532       45,532       -       -  
Liability-classified Warrants     2,578       -       -       2,578       19,285       -       -       19,285  
Total   $ 122,171     $ 40,798     $ 78,795     $ 2,578     $ 131,180     $ 63,923     $ 47,972     $ 19,285  

 

Our U.S. government securities are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because their fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets. Our certificates of deposit are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy and are measured using observable market inputs. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

 

Our liability-classified warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level III inputs. Refer to Note 8 for details on the valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs used and a rollforward of the fair value balance.
