Fair Value
 
We established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
 
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable trade and related party, and line of credit payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the immediate or short-term nature or maturity of these financial instruments. Our available for sale securities (Level 1) was $3.5 million and (Level 2) $0 at September 30, 2015. Our available for sale securities (Level 1) was $129,000 and (Level 2) $862,000 at December 31, 2014.

CVSL does not disclose the fair value of its debt instruments in accordance with the practicability exceptions laid out in ASC 820-10-15-3. Level 1 and 2 inputs are not available for the company’s notes, and Level 3 inputs are not reliable in relation to determining the fair market value of the company’s debt.
