Note 4-- Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value can be measured using valuation techniques such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). Accounting standards utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:

  

  Level 1:    Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2:    Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
    These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.
