FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
B. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investments and money market accounts represent Level 1 measurements. The estimated fair value of the earn-out liabilities represents Level 3 measurements. There were no transfers between levels within the fair value measurement hierarchy during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Earn-Out Liabilities

 

In connection with certain of the Company’s asset acquisitions, certain earn-out liabilities were established which reflect the estimated amounts payable upon the achievement of sales from acquired intangible assets over a period of time following the acquisition. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has earn-out liabilities associated with its purchase of Trend Brand Solutions, T.R. Miller Co., and Premier NYC.

 

Assumptions used in determining the fair value of the earn-out liabilities include the acquired asset’s projected gross profit, discount rates, remaining time intervals and residual earn-out percentages. The following table summarizes the key unobservable inputs into the models used to estimate the fair value of the earn-out liabilities at September 30, 2025:

 

Unobservable Inputs   September 30,
2025
Projected annual gross profit   $907 - $4,398
Earnout percentage   40.0% - 45.0%
Expected volatility   25.0%
Risk-free rate   3.6% - 4.2%
Discount rate   5.0% - 5.2%
Required Metric Risk Premium   5.3% - 7.7%
Time period to settlement   0.2 - 2.2 years

A reconciliation of the earn-out liabilities is included below:

 

Balance as of December 31, 2024   $ 711  
Payments earned and paid     (151 )
Balance as of September 30, 2025   $ 560  
         
Current portion of contingent earn-out liabilities   $ 105  
Long-term contingent earn-out liabilities   $ 455
