FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values based on their short maturities. The fair value of fixed and floating rate debt is based on unobservable market rates (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of the fixed and floating rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the blended borrower rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value of fixed and floating rate debt.


	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Carrying amount	$	5,522	$	6,995
Fair value	$	5,213	$	6,820

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Investments in Real Estate Ventures at Fair Value

We report our two investments in real estate ventures at fair value. For such investments, we increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value and we report these fair value adjustments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For our investments in real estate ventures at fair value, we estimate the fair value using the level 3 Income Approach or a sales comparable approach to determine a fair value. Critical inputs to fair value estimates include various level 3 inputs such as valuations of the underlying real estate assets and borrowings, which incorporate investment-specific assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, rental and expense growth rates, and asset-specific market borrowing rates. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, investments in the real estate ventures at fair value were approximately $7.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company may also value its non-financial assets and liabilities, including items such as long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis if it is determined that impairment has occurred. Such fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3.
