FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES	16. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows: 1.Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 2.Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. 3.Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use. The Company determines the fair value of equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value through quoted market prices. The total fair value is the final closing price, as defined by the exchange in which the asset is actively traded, on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Equity securities are stated at fair value of approximately $4 thousand as of December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold all of its investment in equity securities. The net gain from sales of the equity securities was insignificant. Trading securities are comprised of the SERP assets, as described in the note titled Retirement Plans, and are recorded primarily at their net cash surrender values, calculated using their net asset values, which approximates fair value, as provided by the issuing insurance or investment company. Significant observable inputs, in addition to quoted market prices, were used to value the equity securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of quarterly reporting periods. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were no significant transfers in or out of levels 1, 2 or 3. Under the Company’s revolving credit facility, there was no balance outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are typically based on the quote from the lender (level 2 inputs), which approximates fair value, and bear variable interest rates as described in the note titled Notes Payable to Banks. The Company is subject to interest rate risk, to the extent there are outstanding borrowings on the variable component of the interest rate. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether it will elect this option for financial instruments acquired in the future.

16. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

1.Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

2.Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

3.Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
