FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels are described below:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

There were no transfers in or out of any level during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

Cash equivalents at fair value - the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds - marked to market on reporting dates. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.

The following tables provide information on those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively:
