(8) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported based upon three categories, with the lowest level of measurement available applied. The levels of fair value measurement are as follows: Level 1 - quoted prices on active markets; Level 2 - observable market inputs other than quoted prices on active markets; Level 3 - unobservable data requiring the Company to develop its own approach that cannot be corroborated by market data.

The following table shows the fair value measurements of the Company on a recurring basis:
