able securities as available-for-sale, as the sale of such investments may be required prior to maturity to implement management strategies, and therefore classified all marketable securities with maturity dates beyond three months at the date of purchase as current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no intent to sell any marketable securities prior to maturity. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ deficit until realized. Any premium or discount arising at purchase is amortized and/or accreted to interest income as an adjustment to yield over the life of the instrument. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method and recorded as interest income or expense. The Company invests in available-for-sale securities consisting of commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, and corporate debt securities.

If a reduction in value is a result of other factors, losses are recognized within comprehensive loss unless either the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security. Based on a review of these marketable securities, the Company concluded none of the unrealized loss is the result of a credit loss as of March 31, 2025, because the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Long-term InvestmentLong-term investments without a readily determinable fair value are accounted for using the cost method. The cost method is applied when there is no active market for the investment, thus the fair value cannot be reliably determined. The cost of long-term investments include the purchase price, and are adjusted to fair value based on any observable changes in market value or any impairment losses. The Company had one long-term equity investment which was classified as a non-current
