Fair Value Measurements

establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system consisting of

three

levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level

- Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level

- Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are

not

active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level

– Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions

not

observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are

not

available. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The following table summarizes the assets of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of

March 31, 2020

and

December 31, 2019.

during the

three

months ended

March 31, 2020.

The Company

may

also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at

March 31, 2020

and

December 31, 2019.
