The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire fiscal year.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the SEC have issued certain accounting pronouncements that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management does not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the interim periods for which financial statements are included in this quarterly report. Management also believes those pronouncements will not have a significant effect on the Company’s future financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s primary source of revenue is subscription income which is recognized ratably over the subscription term.

Fair Value Measurements
(5) Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are stated at fair value. The carrying value of accounts receivable, other current assets, accrued expensed, and accounts payable approximates fair market value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

The Company’s cash equivalents are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

All held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2023 were US treasury and federal bonds. Investments in these bonds are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and are included in the Level 1 fair value hierarchy.

The tables below set forth the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, as well as marketable securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company did not hold financial assets and liabilities which were recorded at fair value in the Level 2 or 3 categories as of March 31, 2023.

The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

(6) Marketable Securities

Based upon the Company’s intent and ability to hold its US Treasury and federal bond securities to maturity (which maturities range up to 12 months at purchase), such securities have been classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  Accrued bond interest receivable as of March 31, 2023 is $8,964.

The following table summarizes the cost and fair value of marketable securities at March 31, 2023 is as follows:

4,054,252
 

The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in US Treasury securities and federal bonds. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on an annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment exists as of March 31, 2023.
