Fair Value Measurements
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), provides guidance requiring the use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosure about such fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
     
Level 1:
  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
   
Level 2:
  Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
   
Level 3:
  Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable under the Company’s credit facility. The carrying values on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of such items and are classified as level 1. The carrying value on the balance sheet for the Company’s notes payable approximate their fair value due to the variable interest rate, and as such is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for recoverability in accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may have been impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition and market data assumptions. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized.
