Fair Value Measurements

Note 25. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (In Thousands)

ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts its business. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.  

The following table provides a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012:

				Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	As of June 30, 2012			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Level 1			Significant Other Observable Inputs Level 2		Significant Unobservable Inputs Level 3
Assets
Short-term deposits	$	250		$	250		$	--	$	--
Restricted term deposits	$	3,445		$	3,445		$	--	$	--
Total assets measured at fair value	$	38,050		$	38,050		$	--	$	--
Percentage of total assets		9.7	%		9.7	%		--		--

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company measures its short-term deposits and restricted short-term deposits at fair value, and they are classified within Level 1. Since the Company’s term deposits are fixed rate deposits, there is an active, readily tradable market value based on quoted prices. The Company based its estimates on such prices (Level 1 pricing) as of June 30, 2012, or the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in significant frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, the valuation of these term deposits does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
