The amortized cost for marketable debt securities approximates its fair value and these securities mature withinone year as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
The Company classifies its money market mutual funds as Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy, as these assets have been valued using quoted market prices in active markets without any valuation adjustment. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury Securities as Level 2 assets as these assets are not traded in an active market and have been valued through a third-party pricing service based on quoted prices for similar assets.
The Company had a warrant liability, which expired on April 23, 2025. The warrant liability was recorded as part of other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The warrant liability balance was approximately $0 on March 31, 2025.
The Company utilized a Black-Scholes model to value the warrant liability with the estimated fair value of the warrant liability determined using an options pricing model and Level 3 inputs including expected share-price volatility of underlying company common stock, expected life of warrant, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimated the expected share-price volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility of its common stock, considering the expected remaining life of the warrant. The expected life of the warrant was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrant. The dividend rate was based on the historical dividend rate, which the Company anticipated to remain at zero.
