Fair Value Measurements

16. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed financial statements on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting period. The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 —	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 —	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. We value assets and liabilities included in this level using dealer and broker quotations, certain pricing models, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 —	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The monetary assets represented by these financial instruments are primarily located in Poland, Hungary and Russia. Consequently, they are subject to currency translation risk when reporting in U.S. dollars. The fair values of the cash and cash equivalents, Convertible Senior Notes and Secured Senior Notes is determined based on quoted market prices in public markets and is categorized as Level 1. Fair value of Debt Security is determined based on the principal face value and accrued interest and is categorized as Level 3. Apart from assets held for sale, the Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3 and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill and long-lived assets, are accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are tested for impairment on the occurrence of a triggering event or in the case of goodwill, on at least an annual basis. Management reviews long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual depletion of the asset. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related net book value. As of the balance sheet date, the carrying value of its long-lived assets are recoverable and no impairment existed.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis (cash and cash equivalents as well as assets held for sale ) and fair values of financial assets accounted for at their carrying values (Convertible Senior Notes, Secured Senior Notes and Debt Security) as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

The Company has other financial instruments, such as receivables, accounts payable, overdrafts, short term bank loans and other liabilities which have been excluded from the tables above. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximate their fair values. The Company did not have any other financial instruments with the scope of the fair value disclosure requirements as of September 30, 2012.
