Fair Value Measurements
15.Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value measurements are market-based measurements, not entity-specific measurements.  Therefore, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  We follow a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values.  The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:
·  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·  Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

·  Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in active markets.
 
The following table provides a summary of the recognized assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis

We use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds that are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
