FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company measures fair value as 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 under current market conditions. In developing its fair value estimates, the Company uses the following hierarchy:
Level 1: |  | Quoted 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: |  | Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models using the Company’s own estimates and assumptions or those expected to be used by market participants.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements In accordance with GAAP, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are money market funds that qualify as cash equivalents, and derivative financial instruments. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any money market funds that had floating net asset values that required measurement.

The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency contracts and fuel contracts are the amounts receivable or payable to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The values are based on market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Amounts associated with these derivative financial instruments are considered Level 1 measurements, but were not significant for the reported periods. At September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included less than $1 million related to derivative foreign currency and fuel contracts. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. The Company recognized $1 million of asset impairment charges associated with continuing operations in the year-to-date 2017, compared to $9 million in the third quarter and year-to-date 2016, which were based on Level 3 measurements. The preliminary purchase price allocation performed in connection with the acquisition during the third quarter of 2017 was primarily based on Level 3 inputs. Other Fair Value Disclosures The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature. The following table presents information about financial instruments at the balance sheet dates indicated.

Revenue bonds, due in varying amounts periodically through 2029 |  |  | 186 |  |  |  | 186 |  |  |  | 186 |  |  |  | 181 |
American & Foreign Power Company, Inc. 5% debentures, due 2030 |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 12 |
Non-recourse debt |  |  | 781 |  |  |  | 788 |  |  |  | 798 |  |  |  | 800 |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
| • |  | Timber notes receivable: Fair value is determined as the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for loans of similar terms with comparable credit risk (Level 2 measure).
| • |  | Company-owned life insurance: In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired company owned life insurance policies on certain former employees. The fair value of the company-owned life insurance policies is derived using determinable net cash surrender value (Level 2 measure).
| • |  | Recourse debt: Recourse debt for which there were no transactions on the measurement date was valued based on quoted market prices near the measurement date when available or by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using rates based on the most recently observable trade or using rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2 measure).
| • |  | Non-recourse debt: Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument at rates currently available to the Company for similar instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2 measure).
