Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The disclosure for assets and liabilities measured at fair value requires allocation to a three-level valuation hierarchy. This valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Categorization within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We believe that the carrying values reflected in our consolidated balance sheets reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrow deposits, loans receivable, line of credit payable, term loans and all other liabilities, due to their short-term nature or interest rates and terms that are consistent with market, except for our notes receivable issued in connection with property sales, mortgages payable and our senior notes and bonds payable, which are disclosed as follows (dollars in millions):
|  | Carrying value per |  | Estimated fair |
At June 30, 2016 |  | balance sheet |  | value |
Notes receivable issued in connection with property sales |  | $ | 5.4 |  | $ | 5.7 |
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions, net |  | 496.3 |  | 499.2 |
Notes and bonds payable, net |  | 3,620.3 |  | 3,945.7 |
|  | Carrying value per |  | Estimated fair |
At December 31, 2015 |  | balance sheet |  | value |
Notes receivable issued in connection with property sales |  | $ | 17.9 |  | $ | 19.4 |
Mortgages payable assumed in connection with acquisitions, net |  | 646.2 |  | 651.5 |
Notes and bonds payable, net |  | 3,618.0 |  | 3,828.1 |
The estimated fair values of our notes receivable issued in connection with property sales and our mortgages payable have been calculated by discounting the future cash flows using an interest rate based upon the relevant Treasury yield curve, plus an applicable credit-adjusted spread. Because this methodology includes unobservable inputs that reflect our own internal assumptions and calculations, the measurement of estimated fair values related to our notes receivable and mortgages payable is categorized as level three on the three-level valuation hierarchy. The estimated fair values of our senior notes and bonds payable are based upon indicative market prices and recent trading activity of our senior notes and bonds payable. Because this methodology includes inputs that are less observable by the public and are not necessarily reflected in active markets, the measurement of the estimated fair values, related to our notes and bonds payable, is categorized as level two on the three-level valuation hierarchy. We record interest rate swaps on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. At June 30, 2016, interest rate swaps valued at $11.8 million were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of our interest rate swaps are based on valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each swap, using both observable and unobservable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. Because this methodology uses observable and unobservable inputs, and the unobservable inputs are not significant to the fair value measurement, the measurement of interest rate swaps is categorized as level two on the three-level valuation hierarchy.
