Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures


The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The statement establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:  


Level 1:  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  


Level 2:  Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or


Level 3:  Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.


ASC 820 requires financial assets and liabilities to be classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.


The following table represents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:
