13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Derivative Financial Instruments

On February 2, 2012, the Company entered into a master interest rate swap agreement. The Company elected not to designate the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and, therefore, gains or losses on the agreements as well as the other offsetting gains or losses on the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. ASC 815‑10, Derivatives and Hedging , requires derivative instruments to be measured at fair value and recorded in the statements of financial position as either assets or liabilities.  The Company entered into interest rate swap agreement with Capital One Bank on June 12, 2017 to fix the variable rate portion for $8,000 of the line of credit. This interest rate swap agreement is the only one outstanding at March 31, 2019 and has a maturity of May 11, 2020.  The fair values of the interest rate swap agreement are assets included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and were $50 and $80 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Included in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were losses of $16 and $7, respectively, which are the result of the changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreement.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for its investments and derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 820‑10, Fair Value Measurement, which among other things provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy under ASC 820‑10, Fair Value Measurement, are as follows:

Level I       Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level II      Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for which inputs to the valuation methodology include: (1) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; (3) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable; (4) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level III     Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The asset or liability fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, consumer loans, MHP Notes, other notes, accounts payable, lines of credit, notes payable, and dealer portion of consumer loans.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values because of the short‑term maturities or expected settlement dates of these instruments. This is considered a Level I valuation technique. The MHP Notes, other notes, lines of credit, and notes payable have variable interest rates that reflect market rates and their fair value approximates their carrying value. This is considered a Level II valuation technique. The Company also assessed the fair value of the consumer loans receivable based on the discounted value of the remaining principal and interest cash flows. The Company determined that the fair value of the consumer loan portfolio was approximately $105,108 compared to the book value of $98,904 as of March 31, 2019, and a fair value of approximately $109,231 compared to the book value of $97,175 as of December 31, 2018. This is a Level III valuation technique.
