FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:


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


Level 2:	Either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.


Level 3:	Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements recorded at fair value of $16,510,386 (Level 2). The interest rate swaps are currently in a liability position. The Company’s determines the value of Level 2 liabilities using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms, as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The Company’s policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments, consisting of cash and payable to Perrigo Company, approximate their fair value.
