For certain financial instruments, including accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 because of their short-term nature. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value, which was determined using Level 3 inputs, including a market interest rate.
