FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Text Block]
NOTE 11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company immediately adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 820 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements .  ASC 820 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities.
 
Determination of Fair Value
At December 31, 2011, the Company calculated the fair value of its assets and liabilities for disclosure purposes only.
 
Valuation Hierarchy
ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the use of fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:
Valuation Hierarchy
 
 •
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 
  •
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
  •
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)
 
The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011.
