(n) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and to make disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Topic 820 requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels which form a hierarchy.

 

Level 1

Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2

Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3

Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The Company follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
