Fair Value Measurements

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date;

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their approximate estimated fair values primarily due to their short-term nature. The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities and classified its investments as Level 1 items in both 2024 and 2023. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 or during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below.
