(K) INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF INVESTMENT AT FAIR VALUE (K) INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF INVESTMENT AT FAIR VALUE

 

The Company reviews the performance of the underlying investments including, management reports, press releases, web site announcements and progress reports, Carta equity updates, management interviews and, where accessible, financial reports, to determine their current and future potential value and liquidity. In the event that Management considers the value of an investment to be impaired, the carrying value of the investment will be written down by an impairment charge to reflect Management’s estimated valuation. The Company recognized impairment of one of its investments which was written down by $61,046 in September, 2019. The Company has not experienced any impairment write-downs in any prior or subsequent periods.

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is an exchange price notion under which fair value is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability.

 

The Company has established procedures to estimate the fair value of its investments which the company’s board of directors has reviewed and approved. The company will use observable market data to estimate the fair value of investments to the extent that market data is available. In the absence of quoted market prices in active markets, or quoted market prices for similar assets or in markets that are not active, the company will use the valuation methodologies described below with unobservable data based on the best available information in the circumstances, which incorporates the company’s assumptions about the factors that a market participant would use to value the asset.

 

For investments for which quoted market prices are not available, which will comprise most of our investment portfolio, fair value will be estimated by using the income or market approach. The income approach is based on the assumption that value is created by the expectation of future benefits discounted to a current value and the fair value estimate is the amount an investor would be willing to pay to receive those future benefits. The market approach compares recent comparable transactions to the investment. Adjustments are made for any dissimilarity between the comparable transactions and the investments. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment on the part of our management and board.

 

In determining the appropriate fair value of an investment using these approaches, the most significant information and assumption may include, as applicable: available current market data, including relevant and applicable comparable market transactions, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the investment’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the project does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparable, the principal market and enterprise values, environmental factors, among other factors.

 

The estimated fair values will not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation of the investments, the estimate of fair values may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a broader market for the investments existed.

 

The authoritative accounting guidance prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
