Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities that approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
 
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair values. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about how fair value is determined. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance also establishes a
three
-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting entity.
 
The
three
-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows:
 
Level 
1
 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
 
Level 
2
 – Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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 related assets or liabilities; and
 
Level 
3
 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or
no
market data.
 
The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 
1
of the fair value hierarchy and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. The Company held
no
recurring financial assets that are measured at fair value as of
September 30, 2020
. The Company held
$100,002,000
and
$15,000
 in money market funds, classified as cash equivalents, as of 
September 30, 2020
 and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. The Company held
no
recurring financial liabilities at either date or in the
nine
months ended
September 30,
 
2020
or
2019
