Fair Value Measurements

Factors used in determining the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:

·
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date;
·
Level 2 - other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk; and
·
Level 3 - significant inputs that are generally less observable than objective sources, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Following are the disclosures related to our financial liability that is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

We believe the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses are a reasonable approximation of the fair value of those financial instruments because of the nature of the underlying transactions and the short-term maturities involved.
