Measured on recurring basis The Company measured its financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2015. Trading securities are stated at fair value. The Company classified such financial assets as investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on the quoted market price in an active market. The Company did not have Level 2 and Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2015. The following table shows the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2015:

Measured on nonrecurring basis The Group measured the fair value of intangible assets using income approach method based on which to recognize the impairment loss in 2015. These intangible assets are considered within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company used unobservable inputs, such as forecast financial performance of the businesses or assets and discount rates to determine the fair value of these purchased assets. Impairment loss recognized in 2015 resulted by the unsatisfactory financial performance of certain products during the year. Equity method and cost method investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when impairment is recognized. The Company measured the fair value of cost method investment in AMC and Grand Choice using income approach method based on which to recognize the impairment loss in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The cost method investment in AMC and Grand Choice are considered within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company used unobservable inputs, such as forecast financial performance and future cash flow to determine the fair value of the cost method investment.
