−Removed: The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, at fair value at each balance sheet date.
−Removed: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
−Removed: The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
−Removed: The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
−Removed: All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the following fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
−Removed: • Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
−Removed: • Level 2 —Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices such as quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves), and market-corroborated inputs.
−Removed: • Level 3 —Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
