authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on
either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical
level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2: Inputs reflect: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data
by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to
determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions
that are reasonably available.
Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
