display: inline;">Fair Value Measurements</font>, (“ASC Topic 820”) certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value.  Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The guidance in ASC Topic 820 also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on our market assumptions.  Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.  In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Such determination requires significant management judgment.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt;
