14.          Fair Value

 

The three levels of hierarchy are:

 

(a)

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

(b)

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

 

 

(c)

Level 3

Unobservable inputs used in valuations in which there is little market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

Fair value measurements of assets or liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. We primarily utilize the income approach to measure fair value for our goodwill, long-lived assets and other intangible assets. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.
