Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	3 . Fair value measurement As a basis for determining the fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company utilizes a three -tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The carrying amount of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the entire fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company has a term loan outstanding with MidCap Financial Trust, or the MidCap agreement. The amount outstanding on the MidCap agreement is reported at its carrying value in the accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the MidCap agreement as of September 30, 2018, based upon current market rates for similar borrowings, as measured using Level 2 inputs, exceeds the carrying amount as presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet by approximately $1.2 million. Upon closing of the Transaction, approximately $33 million was paid directly to MidCap in settlement of all amounts due, which included prepayment and exit fees of approximately $3 million (see Note 15. Subsequent events ).
