The Company carried its investments in securities, securities borrowed and call and put options at fair value and utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. Fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date). Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Investments in securities, securities borrowed and put and call options that are freely traded and are listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices.

 

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of March 31, 2019 for the Corporation’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

Assets *  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common Stocks  $11,383,739   $-   $-   $11,383,739 
Preferred Stocks   542,264    -    -    542,264 
Investment in Operating Division   -    -    5,650,000    5,650,000 
Total  $11,926,003   $-   $5,650,000   $17,576,003 

 

Liabilities  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Call and Put Options  $18,900   $-   $-   $18,900 

 

The Company establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and verifiable. At March 31, 2019, Level 3 investments consist solely of the Company’s investment in its Operating Division at fair value. The Company’s Audit Committee oversees the valuation process of the Company’s Level 3 investments. The Audit Committee is comprised of members of the Company’s Board of Directors and is responsible for the valuation processes and procedures and evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies. For this valuation process the Audit Committee meets semi-annually or as needed, and in conjunction with reports from an independent valuation company determines the valuations of the Company’s Level 3 investments. Valuations determined by the Audit Committee are required to be supported by the independent valuation company whose reports may include information such as market data, third-party pricing sources, industry accepted pricing models, counterparty prices, or other appropriate methods. On an annual basis, the Company engages the services of an independent valuation company to perform an independent review of the valuation of the Company’s investment in its wholly owned Operating Division, and may adjust its valuations based on the recommendations from the valuation firm.

The Company’s Level 3 asset consists of its investment in its wholly owned Operating Division at fair value and requires significant judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity, heavy reliance on Level 3 inputs, and the long-term nature of such investments. Since its inception, the Operating Division has not generated significant revenue and has incurred substantial operating losses. Due to these substantial losses, the Operating Division has been completely dependent on funding from the Company to sustain its operations. Investment in Operating Division is primarily located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and was initially valued at transaction value for identified assets (property and equipment, land, buildings and laboratory equipment), less accumulated depreciation adjusted for investment in/advances to operating division, business operations and activity and realized losses. Based on Company initiatives started in 2016 and through 2018, related to potential partnerships, joint ventures, product development, marketing and other operations of the Operating Division, the Company hired an independent valuation company to perform a valuation of the Operating Division. The independent valuation company updated the initial 2016 valuation and subsequent valuations at December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, using the Income Approach and Market Approaches as defined in SFAS 157 (ASC 820). Based on the valuation approaches, the valuation ranges were $5,400,000 to $5,900,000 for the Income Approach at December 31, 2018. In determining the Income Approach value range, the Gordon Growth Model valuation technique was used with a discount rate of 30% and long-term growth rate of 3.0%. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation could result in significant changes in fair value measurements. The Income Approach was weighted 100% given the current financial performance and expectations as to longer-term revenue growth and profitability resulting in a midpoint of value range of $5,650,000.

 

Securities valuation policies and other investment related disclosures will be incorporated by reference to the annual report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR.
