FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2— observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Some of the Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.

Level 3—unobservable inputs.

The substantial majority of the Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that are re-measured on a regular basis:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

The Company’s Level 1 assets include money market instruments. Level 2 assets consist of marketable investment securities that include federal agency issues, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and municipal bonds. Level 2 securities are valued based upon observable inputs that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no investments which were measured using unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
