3. FAIR VALUE
General
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and
requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance defines fair value as the price 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. As part of the framework for measuring fair value, the guidance
establishes a hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most
observable inputs be used when available.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs used in valuations in which there is little market activity for the
asset or liability at the measurement date.
Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy
based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
