FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is measured based on the prices 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. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be representative of their fair values based on the short term nature of these instruments. As such, cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Investments: Investments at June 30, 2014 consisted of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. As such, investments were classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Notes Receivable: Notes receivable are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for purposes of evaluating potential impairment of these assets. The fair value of the notes receivable is based upon the valuation of a third party appraisal of the building and equipment which is security for the notes less estimates of outstanding property tax liens and other liquidation costs.

Although the methods above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, we believe the valuation methods are appropriate.
