Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the Company is required to provide disclosure and categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the assumptions (i.e., inputs) used in the valuation. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value while Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

·      Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,

·      Level 2 - other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date,

·      Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

The carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and interest payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments. The senior secured, unsecured and senior subordinated notes payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company does not have any fair value instruments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2014, nor gains or losses reported in the statement of operations.
