| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s non-financial
assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. The determination of our intangible fair
values includes several assumptions and inputs (Level 3) that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Management believes it has
made reasonable estimates and judgments concerning these risks and uncertainties. All other financial assets and liabilities are carried
at amortized cost.
The Company’s cash balances
are representative of their fair values, as these balances are comprised of deposits available on demand. The carrying amounts of accounts
receivable, notes receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and other non-current liabilities approximate their fair
values because of the short turnover of these instruments.

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election – Convertible note
payable
Convertible note payable, at fair value
As of June 30, 2026, the Company
had one outstanding convertible note payable with a face value of $500,000 (the “March 4th Note”), which is accounted
for under the ASC 825-10-15-4 FVO election. Under the FVO election, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated
fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair
value adjustment is presented as a single line item within other (expenses) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of convertible note.”
The March 4th Note
is measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following is a reconciliation of the fair values
from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026:

The estimated fair value of the

of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate of return, using the following assumptions:
