Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
The FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and requires disclosures about fair value measurements by establishing a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
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 asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s 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.
The following table sets forth the financial assets, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy
as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands):
