(c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments, including cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt obligations approximate fair value based on interest rates available on similar borrowings.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. The guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
· Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
· Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or input which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities; or
· Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The Company had Level 1 fair value measurements of its cash equivalents of $6,633 and $22,144 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company had no Level 2 or Level 3 fair value instruments at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
