Reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.
