Interest Rate Risk. Our current cash and cash equivalents consist of money market funds as allowed and specified in our investment policy guidelines. Due to the current nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Therefore, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by a sudden change in interest rates.

Inflation Risk. We are actively monitoring the macroeconomic inflationary environment, including the impact from changes in foreign trade policies, tariffs, and other duties, but we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If the inflationary environment constrains our customers’ ability to procure goods and services from us, we may see customers reprioritize these investment decisions. These macroeconomic conditions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Foreign Currency Risk. The majority of our sales, cost of net revenues, and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars ("USD"). While we conduct transactions in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so, to date we have not, and do not anticipate that related foreign currency transaction gains or losses will be significant at our current level of operations. However, as we operate in and continue to expand our operations internationally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the USD, could impact our foreign currency-denominated costs and may result in operating margin volatility. To date, such fluctuations have not had a material impact on our financial results.
Management believes there have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the nine month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025.
