NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 on October 1, 2008. Under this FASB, 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 at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash and debt. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash, accounts receivable, capitalized production costs, prepaid royalties, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued compensation, accrued royalties, accrued interest, accrued expenses, unearned royalties, notes payable – related party and technology payables reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature.

The following tables provide a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

June 30, 2017		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Gains (Losses)
