The Company’s assets with fair value categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy include money market funds, government and government agency bonds, corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, and the Company’s strategic investment in Lysogene, a publicly traded company in France, as more fully described in Note 3, License and Collaboration Agreements. Certain of the government and government agency bonds and corporate bonds are publicly traded fixed income securities and are presented as cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s assets with fair value categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy consist of commercial paper and government and government agency bonds. These assets have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, through income-based approaches utilizing market observable data.

The Company’s assets with fair value categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy consists of a strategic investment in Series A preferred stock of Lacerta as more fully described in Note 3, License and Collaboration Agreements. The fair value of the asset was initially based on a cost approach corroborated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The most significant assumptions in the option pricing model include historical volatility of similar public companies, estimated term through Lacerta’s potential exit and a risk-free rate based on certain U.S. Treasury rates. At the end of each reporting period, the fair value will be adjusted if Lacerta issues similar or identical equity securities or when there is a triggering event for impairment. There were no changes in the fair value of the Lacerta strategic investment during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company’s contingent consideration liability with fair value categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy relate to the regulatory-related contingent payments to Myonexus selling shareholders as well as to an academic institution under a separate license agreement that meet the definition on a derivative. For more information related to Myonexus, please read Note 3, License and Collaboration Agreements. This amount was estimated through an income approach based on the probability-weighted expected cash flows that incorporated industry-based probability adjusted assumptions relating to the achievement of the milestone and thus the likelihood of making the payments. This fair value measurement was based upon significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represented a Level 3 measurement. At the end of each reporting period, the fair value is adjusted to reflect the most current assumptions through earnings. There were no changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the contingent consideration was recorded as a non-current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. For fair value information related to the Company’s debt facilities, please read Note 13, Indebtedness.
