+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: The Company is required to account for certain assets at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
+Added: The Company determines fair value in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.
+Added: Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
+Added: GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
+Added: The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
+Added: Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
+Added: Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
+Added: quoted prices in markets that are not active;
+Added: or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
+Added: Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
+Added: Valuation techniques based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that may appropriately reflect market and credit risks.
