Fair value measurement:
|
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.
Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
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.
Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
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.
All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:
|
Level 1
|
-
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
| |
|
|
|
Level 2
|
-
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable directly or indirectly.
|
| |
|
|
|
Level 3
|
-
|
Inputs that are not based on observable market data (valuation techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data). |
