Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values of the financial instruments included in the financial statements, which include cash equivalents, money markets, US government and corporate securities approximate their carrying values at September 30, 2015 due to their short term maturities. Our financial instruments also include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Marketable securities and cash equivalents are carried at fair value. The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosure about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliable inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1—Fair Value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Fair Value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by the reporting entity –e.g. determining an appropriate discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets using the highest level of inputs that are reasonably available as of the measurement date. The assets recorded at fair value are classified within the hierarchy as follows for the periods reported (in thousands):
|  | September 30, |
|  | Total |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Fair Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |
Money Market Funds |  | $ | 9,904 |  | $ | 9,904 |  | $ | — |
Corporate Securities |  |  | 88,651 |  |  | — |  |  | 88,651 |
Government Securities |  |  | 51,187 |  |  | — |  |  | 51,187 |
|  | $ | 149,742 |  | $ | 9,904 |  | $ | 139,838 |
Our policy is to record transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The Company does not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.
