NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following hierarchy:
 
Level 1:   Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that can be assessed at the measurement date.
 
Level 2:   Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3:   Inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments valuation.
 
The guidance requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
 
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the Jiffy Seller, of $936,000, included in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2018 was determined applying Level 3 inputs. The fair value of this contingent consideration is being adjusted quarterly.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and intangible assets. Such assets are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators. If a triggering event has occurred, the assets are re-measured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
