Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

Level 2

Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

  

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company doesn't have any assets or liabilities in which would be considered Level 2 or 3.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from related party, investments in technologies, accounts payable and accrued expenses and related party advances. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include cost method investments when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition or in a nonmonetary exchange, and property and equipment and intangible assets that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company acquired various technologies and an investment in a third party in which the investment is being treated under the cost basis of accounting. See Notes 4 and 5, for discussion regarding day one impairment charges related to these items. Excluding these items, the Company did not have any significant assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial recognition.
