NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
 
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
 
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, which are not required to be valued at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt, approximate fair value due to their short maturities or the nature and terms of the obligation.
