The Company’s investment in equity securities is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These equity securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Specifically, the stock prices of these securities are readily available on the stock exchange, providing a reliable and observable input to the fair value measurement.

As these securities are actively traded, the quoted prices in the market are considered to be the most reliable indicator of fair value. No significant adjustments are made to these prices, as they reflect current market conditions at the measurement date.
