We are exposed to market risk from interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our securities. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents (highly liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase) would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Interest on the revolving line of credit pursuant to the Loan Agreement described herein would accrue based on market rates plus 1.00%, for a one-month interest period; however, we do not expect that any changes in prevailing interest rates will have a material impact on our results of operations.
The Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments require the Company to originate a loan at a floating interest rate plus an agreed margin upon request from the borrower, so long as the conditions specified in the Amended Credit Agreement with respect to the origination of such loan are satisfied. The outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from the exercise of the instrument might change from the inception to funding of the loan due to changes in loan interest rate margins; however, we do not expect that any changes in prevailing interest rates will have a material impact on our results of operations.
Foreign Currency Risk
Most of our sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our net revenue and operating expenses are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. As we grow our operations, our exposure to foreign currency risk could become more significant.
Inflation
Increases in commodity and shipping prices and energy and labor costs have resulted in inflationary pressures across various parts of our business and operations, including our partners and supply chain. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation to minimize its effects on our customers. We work with our partners to limit the amount of cost increases that are passed on through higher pricing. If costs borne by the Company or our partners were to be subject to incremental inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through pricing actions or other cost efficiency measures. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our historical results of operations and financial condition have been immaterial. We cannot assure you, however, that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.
Investment Risk
The fair values of the equity and debt securities may be subject to fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market in general, investment-specific circumstances, and changes in general economic conditions. At June 30, 2026, the recorded value in equity securities of private companies was $55.9 million. At June 30, 2026, $17.1 million of the equity securities and $26.0 million of the debt securities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value assessment of private companies includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the securities, and other publicly available data. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, we believe that providing a sensitivity analysis is not practicable. These investments valued using Level 3 inputs represent 65.1% of assets measured at fair value. See Note 4—Fair Value Measurement included in Item 1, Part I, Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information. For the equity interest in Medici Ventures, L.P., we record our proportionate share of the entity's reported net income or loss, which reflects the fair value changes of the underlying investments of the entity and any other income or losses of the entity.
