Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Measurements | 9.Fair Value Measurements In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, entities are permitted to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. We did not adopt the elective fair market value option for our financial assets and financial liabilities. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. We do not invest our cash in auction rate securities. The carrying value and fair value of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 assuming election of fair value for our financial assets and financial liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
|  | At June 30, 2014 |  | At December 31, 2013 |
|  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |
Mortgage loans receivable |  | $ 168,068 |  | $196,275(1) |  | $ 165,444 |  | $200,248(1) |
Bonds payable |  | 1,400 |  | 1,400 (2) |  | 2,035 |  | 2,035(2) |
Bank borrowings |  | 42,000 |  | 42,000 (2) |  | 21,000 |  | 21,000 (2) |
Senior unsecured notes |  | 251,633 |  | 260,980(3) |  | 255,800 |  | 262,351(3) |
| (1) |  | Our investment in mortgage loans receivable is classified as Level 3. The fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is determined using our assumption on market conditions adjusted for market and credit risk and current returns on our investments. The discount rate used to value our future cash inflows of the mortgage loans receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 8.5% and 8.4%, respectively.
| (2) |  | Our bonds payable and bank borrowings are at a variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of our bonds payable and bank borrowings approximated their carrying values at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.
| (3) |  | Our obligation under our senior unsecured notes is classified as Level 3 and thus the fair value is determined using a widely accepted valuation technique, discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. The discount rate is measured based upon management’s estimates of rates currently prevailing for comparable loans available to us, and instruments of comparable maturities. At June 30, 2014, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 3.80% for those maturing before year 2020 and 3.95% for those maturing beyond year 2020. At December 31, 2013, the discount rate used to value our future cash outflow of our senior unsecured notes was 3.95% for those maturing before year 2020 and 4.25% for those maturing beyond year 2020.
