We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to assets and liabilities measured at fair value.  Assets measured at fair value are as follows:

(in thousands)
 
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets
(Level 1)

Mutual funds:
        
     Domestic stock funds

     International stock funds
  494   518 
     Target funds

     Bond funds
  110   104 
Total mutual funds
  1,335   1,294 
   $1,434  $1,378 

Mutual funds are valued at prices quoted in an active exchange market and are included in "Other Assets".  We have elected not to apply the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to any of our financial instruments except for those expressly required by U.S. GAAP.

We do not maintain any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities that would be based on significant observable or unobservable inputs.
