Fair Value
The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities
exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale
securities, accounts receivable, program cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31 are as follows:
