6. | Fair Value Measurements
Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are disclosed at fair value. Fair value is 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. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation methods including market, income and cost approaches. The assumptions used in the application of these valuation methods are developed from the perspective of market participants pricing the asset or liability. Inputs used in the valuation methods can be either readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. Whenever possible the Company attempts to utilize valuation methods that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the operability of the inputs used in the valuation methods, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities measured, reported and/or disclosed at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The table below sets forth the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value as of September 30, 2014.
Asset: |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Carrying Value |
Interest rate swaps |  | $ | - |  | $ | 581,619 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 581,619 |
Liability: |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Carrying Value |
Interest rate swaps |  | $ | - |  | $ | 690,188 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 690,188 |
Mortgage notes payable |  | $ | - |  | $ | - |  | $ | 107,207,000 |  | $ | 107,685,433 |
Unsecured revolving credit facility |  | $ | - |  | $ | 16,500,000 |  | $ | - |  | $ | 16,500,000 |
Unsecured term loans |  | $ | - |  | $ | - |  | $ | 95,894,000 |  | $ | 100,000,000 |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, which consist of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable, approximate their fair values. The fair value of the interest rate swaps were derived using estimates to settle the interest rate swap agreements, which is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows on each leg of the swaps utilizing market-based inputs and discount rates reflecting the risks involved. The fair value of fixed and variable rate mortgages was derived using the present value of future mortgage payments based on estimated current market interest rates. The fair value of variable rate debt is estimated to be equal to the face value of the debt because the interest rates are floating and is considered to approximate fair value.
