Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Apr. 30, 2022

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2. Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022 because of the relatively short duration of these instruments.

The Company evaluated its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation:


	Fair value measurements on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Money market accounts (included in cash and cash equivalents)	$	11,129	$	—	$	—
Time deposits (included in other long-term assets)	385		—		—
Total assets	$	11,514	$	—	$	—


	Fair value measurements on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Money market accounts (included in cash and cash equivalents)	$	12,096	$	—	$	—
Time deposits (included in other long-term assets)	385		—		—
Total assets	$	12,481	$	—	$	—

All of the Company’s money market accounts are classified within Level 1 because the Company’s money market accounts are valued using quoted market prices in active exchange markets including identical assets.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company's assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the investment accounted for under the measurement alternative. There was no adjustment or impairment recognized for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
