2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments:

 

    June 30, 2012     June 30, 2011  
    Carrying     Fair     Carrying     Fair  
    Amount     Value     Amount     Value  
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 6,273,015     $ 6,273,015     $ 6,881,093     $ 6,881,093  
Trade accounts receivable     3,158,084       3,158,084       2,294,254       2,294,254  
Trade accounts payable     1,507,695       1,507,695       1,336,558       1,336,558  
Notes receivable – short term     198,117       198,117       210,000       210,000  
Notes receivable – long term (included in other assets)     -       -       440,000       440,000  

  

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable

 

The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

 

Trade Accounts Payable

 

The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

 

Note Receivable

 

The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the discount rate is fair market value.
