FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures fair value within the guidance of the three-level valuation hierarchy. This hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities


•	Level 2 - Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data


•	Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The assets and liabilities of the Company that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the respective input levels as of May 1, 2020 and January 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):



	May 1, 2020		January 31, 2020
	Level 1		Level 1
Cash equivalents - Money Market Funds	$	75,810	$	100,476

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair value due to their short-term nature.
