FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we can access.

 

Level 2: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on the following:

 

a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; or
c)Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3: Financial assets and financial liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs may reflect our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and financial liabilities.

 

The Company utilizes an internal valuation model to determine the fair value of the land under capital lease.

 

The following table summarizes Level 1, 2 and 3 financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis by their classification in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013:

 

      Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description  March 31, 2013  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3
Land under capital lease  $1,435,025   $—     $—     $1,435,025 
                     
Total  $1,435,025   $—     $—     $1,435,025 

 

The fair value of the land, included under the capital lease, was compared to a number of other properties, with like characteristics, during the Company’s search for appropriate agricultural land within a large radius. Management believes the value is representative of the other properties within the area of interest, is comparable to the value of the two additional properties under negotiation, and is comparable to other land being offered by other third parties.
