Fair Value Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities | 11. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities With respect to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which include short term investments, notes payable, capital lease obligation, earnout obligations of acquisitions and warrant redemption liability, the Company has adopted current accounting guidance which establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, creates a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be paid to transfer the warrant redemption liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As required under current accounting guidance, the Company has identified and disclosed its financial assets and liabilities in a fair value hierarchy, which consists of the following three levels: Definition Level 1 Observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar securities in markets that are not active. (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the security (e.g., interest rates, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates). (iv) inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
