Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 9: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, the Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; 

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 according to the valuation techniques the Company uses to determine their fair values. There have been no transfers of assets among the fair value hierarchies presented.

	Pricing	Fair Value at
	Category	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Assets		(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	Level 1	$	14,592	$	5,948
Restricted cash	Level 1		655		1,811

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used by the Company to value the Company’s financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: Consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. The value was measured using quoted market prices in active markets. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Restricted cash: Consists of cash and cash equivalents held in bank deposit accounts restricted as to withdrawal or that are under the terms of use for current operations. The value was measured using quoted market prices in active markets. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Fair value measurements also apply to certain non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Property, plant and equipment and right of use assets are measured at fair value when an impairment is recognized and the related assets are written down to fair value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of impairment charges in selling, general and administrative expenses to write-down property, plant and equipment and right of use assets to their estimated fair values. The Company measured the fair value of these assets based on projected cash flows, an estimated risk-adjusted rate of return and market rental rates for comparable properties. Projected cash flows are considered Level 3 inputs. Market rental rates for comparable properties are considered Level 2 inputs. No impairment charges were recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.
