FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s money market funds and interest rate swaps are reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair values based on market values from identical or comparable transactions. The fair value of the Company’s money market funds, stock warrant obligations and interest rate swaps are based on observable inputs (Level 2) from comparable market transactions. The fair value of stock warrant obligations (Level 2) were determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model which considers the Company’s common stock price and various assumptions, such as the volatility of the Company’s common stock, the expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. Additionally, certain warrants related to the 2018 investment agreement (see Note C) require inputs of estimated warrant strike price and other assumptions (Level 3).

The following table reflects assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

As a result of higher market interest rates compared to the stated interest rates of the Company’s fixed rate debt obligations, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations, based on Level 2 observable inputs, was approximately $5.5 million less than the carrying value, which was $1,408.1 million at March 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $6.0 million less than the carrying value, which was $1,401.3 million. The non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
