Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value on Financial Instruments | Note 2. Fair Value on Financial Instruments The Company uses certain assumptions that market participants would use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The identification of market participant assumptions provides a basis for determining what inputs are to be used for pricing each asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy has been established which gives precedence to fair value measurements calculated using observable inputs over those using unobservable inputs. This hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
• | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
• | Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments)
• | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of certain investments)
Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information on these investment instruments are readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. To estimate the fair value of Level 2 debt securities as of September 30, 2016, the Company’s primary service relies on inputs from multiple industry-recognized pricing sources to determine the price for each investment. Corporate debt and U.S. government agency securities are systematically priced by this service as of the close of business each business day. If the primary pricing service does not price a specific asset a secondary pricing service is utilized. The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities were determined using the following inputs at September 30, 2016 (in thousands):
|  | Balance sheet |  |  |  |  |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets |  |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs |
|  | classification |  | Total |  |  | (Level 1) |  |  | (Level 2) |  |  | (Level 3) |

The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities were determined using the following inputs at December 31, 2015 (in thousands):
|  | Balance sheet |  |  |  |  |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets |  |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs |
|  | classification |  | Total |  |  | (Level 1) |  |  | (Level 2) |  |  | (Level 3) |

Corporate debt securities |  | Short-term investments |  |  | 25,698 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 25,698 |  |  |  | - |

Total financial assets |  |  |  | $ | 96,163 |  |  | $ | 70,465 |  |  | $ | 25,698 |  |  | $ | - |
The Company did not have any transfers among fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as level 3 financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
