Note 1 – Organization | |
Paragon Real Estate Equity and Investment Trust (the “Company,” “Paragon,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a Maryland shell corporation primarily focused on maintaining its corporate existence and SEC reporting history to enable it, in the future, to raise additional capital and make real estate investments. Future real estate investments may include acquisition and development of retail, office, office warehouse, industrial, multifamily, hotel, other commercial properties, acquisition of or merger with a REIT or real estate operating company and joint venture investments. Excess funds are invested in cash equivalents. |

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation | |
Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation | |
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the results of our operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and of our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 have been included. | |
The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis because it combines its accounts with a wholly-owned subsidiary that discontinued operations in 2002. All significant inter-company balances are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. | |
Going Concern | |
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continued operations as a public company and paying liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is being maintained as a corporate shell that is current in its SEC filings. Operations consist only of investments on a temporary basis in publicly traded real estate companies while management and the board evaluate real estate opportunities to put into the Company or decide to sell the entity to a party that needs a public shell. | |
At December 31, 2013, our cash in the operating account was $9,643. The decrease in cash during 2013 was $5,694. We sold investments in marketable securities and made redemptions from a money market investment account for a total of $52,366, which was used to pay expenses to keep the Company currently filed as a public company. Expenses, such as salaries and rent, have been eliminated so that the only expenses being incurred are to keep the Company current in its SEC filings, such as accounting, audit, and legal fees. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon acquiring assets to generate cash flow because marketable securities are our only revenue generating assets and will not generate enough cash flow to allow us to continue as a going concern. | |
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an operating company, be acquired by or merge with another company, raise capital or otherwise continue to exist as a going concern. Even if our management is successful in closing a transaction, investors may not value the transaction in the same manner as we did, and investors may not value the transaction as they would value other transactions or alternatives. Failure to obtain external sources of capital and complete a transaction will materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operations. |

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | |||||||||
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include deferred taxes and the related valuation allowance for deferred taxes, and these significant estimates, as well as other estimates and assumptions, may change in the near term. | |||||||||
Investments in Equipment | |||||||||
Our investments in equipment assets are reported at cost. | |||||||||
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: | |||||||||
Years | |||||||||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 7-Mar | ||||||||
There was no depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 because the equipment assets of $5,370 are fully depreciated. | |||||||||
Cash | |||||||||
We maintain our cash in bank accounts that are federally insured. | |||||||||
Other Assets | |||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, other assets of $8,826 are prepaid expenses for director and officer liability insurance. | |||||||||
As of December 31, 2012, other assets of $8,161 are $180 dividends receivable on marketable securities and $7,981 prepaid expenses for director and officer liability insurance. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||
Revenues include interest and dividends earned on cash balances and marketable securities. | |||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation – Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC 718 generally requires that these transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards. | |||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
Because we have not elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, we account for income taxes using the liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. | |||||||||
The Company evaluates potential uncertain tax positions on an annual basis in conjunction with the board of trustees and its tax accountants. Authoritative literature provides a two-step approach to recognize and measure tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that required adjustments to our consolidated financial statements in 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||
At December 31, 2013, we have net operating losses totaling $2,450,000. While these losses created a deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance was applied against the asset because of the uncertainty of whether we will be able to use these loss carryovers, which will expire in varying amounts through the year 2033. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code regulations, Paragon will be limited to using $1.4 million of the prior net operating losses of $11,100,000. These same regulations also limit the amount of loss used in any one year. | |||||||||
We are also subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The provision for state and local taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance. | |||||||||
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years before 2010 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. | |||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as it applies to our financial instruments, and Accounting Standards Codification 825 (“ASC 825”), Financial Instruments. ASC 820 defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 825 permits companies to irrevocably choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. ASC 825 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. | |||||||||
Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as 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 in the principal or most advantageous market. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. ASC 820 requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. | |||||||||
Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we have elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 825. No events occurred during 2013 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. | |||||||||
The following table provides information on those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. | |||||||||

Note 4 – Marketable Securities | |
Our investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, as of December 31, 2012, and represent common shares of publicly traded real estate investment trusts. All of the Company’s investments in marketable securities were sold during 2013 and the funds were deposited in an insured deposit account at a securities brokerage firm. | |
The Company recognizes gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities based upon the first-in-first-out method. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold $76,341 of marketable securities having a cost basis of $73,568 and recorded a gain of $2,773. The proceeds of $76,341 were deposited into an insured deposit account at a securities brokerage firm. The Company transferred $53,000 to the operating account and the difference of $23,341 plus the dividends earned on the marketable securities and interest earned on cash balances during 2013 of $634, for a total of $23,975, are shown as purchases in marketable securities. | |
The gain on sale of marketable securities of $550 for the year ended December 31, 2012 was a result of our sale of 1,275 common shares of eight publicly traded real estate companies for $49,778, which had a cost basis of $49,228. | |
As of December 31, 2013, we had no marketable securities. We had a new unrealized gain on marketable securities during 2013 of $7,794 and a reclassification adjustment for the realized gain of $2,773 on the sale of marketable securities. As of December 31, 2013, we have no unrealized gain or loss shown in shareholders’ equity. | |
As of December 31, 2012, our marketable securities had a fair market value of $121,946, including marketable securities at market value of $68,547 and a money market investment account of $53,399. We recorded a net unrealized gain on marketable securities during 2012 of $14,081 and had a reclassification adjustment for the realized gain of $550 on the sale of marketable securities. As of December 31, 2012, we have an unrealized loss of $5,021, which is shown in shareholders’ equity as net unrealized loss on marketable securities. |

Preferred Shares | |||||||||||||||||
The Company has outstanding 96,826 Class A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (“Class A Preferred Shares”) that were issued to the public. The Class A Preferred Shares bear a liquidation value of $10.00 per share. The Class A Preferred Shares are convertible into 0.046 common shares subject to certain formulas. We have the right to redeem the Class A Preferred Shares. | |||||||||||||||||
Effective June 30, 2003, we issued 696,078 Class A Preferred Shares valued at approximately $2.4 million to Messrs. Mastandrea and Dee pursuant to separate restricted share agreements. Under each restricted share agreement, the restricted shares vest upon the later of the following dates: | |||||||||||||||||
• | the date our gross assets exceed $50.0 million, or | ||||||||||||||||
• | 50% of the restricted shares on March 4, 2004; 25% of the shares on March 4, 2005 and the remaining 25% of the shares on March 4, 2006. | ||||||||||||||||
In conjunction with a one-time incentive exchange offer for Class A preferred shareholders, Messrs. Mastandrea and Dee exchanged 534,668 of these restricted Class A Preferred Shares into 163,116 restricted common shares. The restrictions described above are also applicable to their common shares. The remaining 161,410 restricted Class A preferred shares held by Messrs. Mastandrea and Dee can each be converted into 0.305 restricted common shares. | |||||||||||||||||
During 2013 and 2012, no Class A Preferred Shares were converted to common shares. | |||||||||||||||||
Effective September 29, 2006, Paragon filed articles supplementary to its declaration of trust, as amended, restated and supplemented with the State Department of Assessment and Taxation of Maryland designating 300,000 Class C Convertible Preferred Shares (“Class C Preferred Shares”). The Class C Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the number of common shares into which they are convertible. Each Class C Preferred Share is convertible into common shares by dividing by the sum of $10.00 and any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Class C Preferred Shares by the conversion price of $1.00. The Class C Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, and can be redeemed by the board of trustees at any time, with notice, at the same price per share. | |||||||||||||||||
Effective September 29, 2006, three independent trustees of Paragon signed subscription agreements to purchase 125,000 Class C Preferred Shares for an aggregate contribution of $500,000 to maintain Paragon as a corporate shell current in its SEC filings. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, on September 29, 2006, James C. Mastandrea, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Paragon, signed a subscription agreement to purchase 44,444 restricted shares of Class C Convertible Preferred Shares. The consideration for the purchase was Mr. Mastandrea’s services as an officer of Paragon for the period beginning September 29, 2006 and ending September 29, 2008. The Class C Convertible Preferred Shares are subject to forfeiture and are restricted from being sold by Mr. Mastandrea until the latest to occur of a public offering by Paragon sufficient to liquidate the Class C Convertible Preferred Shares, an exchange of Paragon’s existing shares for new shares, or September 29, 2008. This agreement was amended to extend the service period and vesting period restriction dates to September 30, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Each of the trustees of Paragon, namely Daryl J. Carter, John J. Dee, Daniel G. DeVos, Paul T. Lambert, James C. Mastandrea and Michael T. Oliver, signed a restricted share agreement with Paragon, dated September 29, 2006, to receive a total of 12,500 restricted Class C Convertible Preferred Shares in lieu of receiving fees in cash for service as a trustee for the two years ending September 29, 2008. The restrictions on the Class C Convertible Preferred Shares were to be removed upon the latest to occur of a public offering by Paragon sufficient to liquidate the Class C Convertible Preferred Shares, an exchange of Paragon’s existing shares for new shares, or September 29, 2008. These agreements were amended to extend the service period and vesting period restriction dates to September 30, 2014. No compensation expense was recognized due to the modification as it did not increase the value of the original grant. | |||||||||||||||||
Shares Held in Treasury | |||||||||||||||||
On October 1, 2003 we completed the sale of our 92.9% general partnership interest in our four commercial properties. A portion of the proceeds from the sale was paid in 38,130 of our common shares at an average closing price for the 30 calendar days prior to June 27, 2003 of $21.00 or approximately $801,000. These shares are recorded at cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under treasury shares. | |||||||||||||||||

In the above table, 163,116 restricted shares vest upon meeting performance goals as discussed under “Preferred Shares.” Since the grant date, we have determined that meeting these performance goals is not probable and no compensation expense has been recognized related to this grant. The grant date fair value of $1,847,000 would be recognized upon meeting the performance goals. The balance of 5,333 restricted shares had grant date fair values totaling $79,000, which was recognized in prior periods though the restrictions remain on the shares. | |||||||||||||||||
On June 30, 2003, our shareholders approved the issuance of additional common shares to Paragon Real Estate Development, LLC for James C. Mastandrea, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and John J. Dee, our Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, to encourage them to substantially grow the asset base, net operating income, funds from operations, net value, and share value of Paragon. On September 29, 2006, Paragon amended this agreement to add each of the trustees to the agreement so that if a trustee brings a new transaction to Paragon, he would receive additional common shares of Paragon in accordance with a formula in the agreement. We will issue restricted common shares if they locate and close on our behalf future acquisition, development or re-development transactions. Any of these transactions would be subject to approval by the members of our board of trustees who are not receiving the additional common shares. The maximum number of common shares they may receive under the additional contribution agreement is limited to a total value of $26 million based on the average closing price of the common shares for 30 calendar days preceding the closing of any acquisition. The common shares will be restricted until we achieve the five-year pro forma income target for the acquisition, as approved by the board of trustees, and an increase of 5% in Paragon’s net operating income and funds from operations. The restricted shares would vest immediately upon any “shift in ownership,” as defined in the agreement. | |||||||||||||||||
Options | |||||||||||||||||
On November 16, 1998, we adopted the 1998 Share Option Plan. In 2004 the board of trustees unanimously recommended and the shareholders approved amendments to our 1998 Share Option Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant from 42,222 to 46,666 and to conform with current tax regulations (“2004 Plan”). | |||||||||||||||||
The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of “incentive stock options,” as defined under Section 422(b) of the tax code, options that are not qualified under the tax code (referred to in this annual report as “non-statutory options”), share appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted share grants and performance share awards and dividend equivalents. The 2004 Plan is administered by our management, organization and compensation committee of the board. The committee has the authority, subject to approval by our board, to determine the terms of each award, to interpret the provisions of the 2004 plan and to make all other determinations for the administration of the 2004 Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of share options to officers, trustees and employees at a price determined by a formula in the 2004 Plan agreement. The options are to be exercisable over a period of time determined by the 2004 Plan committee, but no longer than ten years after the grant date. Compensation resulting from the share options is initially measured at the grant date based on fair market value of the shares. | |||||||||||||||||
The assumptions made in estimating the fair value of the options on the grant date are based upon the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no option grants during 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||||||

-1 | The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as approximately the difference between the weighted average exercise price of the underlying awards and the Company’s estimated current fair market value at December 31, 2013. Because the weighted average exercise price exceeds fair market value at December 31, 2013, there is no aggregate intrinsic value for the options. | ||||||||||||||||
The Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was no remaining unrecognized cost related to stock options. To the extent the forfeiture rate is different than we have anticipated, stock-based compensation related to these awards will be different from our expectations. |

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of sufficient future taxable income and the effects of other loss utilization provisions. Management has determined that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of a significant portion of the net deferred tax assets and has provided a valuation allowance of $980,000 and $959,000, against the net deferred tax assets of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that may change in the near term. | |||||||||
At December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryovers of $2,450,000 available to be carried to future periods. Net operating loss carryovers of $1,450,000 are available for Paragon to use without any limitation or restriction imposed by tax regulations. Changes in the ownership of Paragon’s shares that occurred in 2001, 2003 and 2006 have limited the amount of net operating losses to be used to approximately $72,500 per year for another 14 years, or a total of $1,014,000. Prior net loss carryovers of approximately $11,100,000 cannot be used due to the limitations imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code related to the 2001, 2003 and 2006 changes of share ownership.

Employment Agreements | |
On April 3, 2006, the board of trustees of Paragon authorized modifications to the employment agreement of James C. Mastandrea, President and Chief Executive Officer. The modification agreement allows Mr. Mastandrea to devote time to other business and personal investments while performing his duties for Paragon. The original employment agreement with Mr. Mastandrea provides for an annual salary of $60,000 effective as of March 4, 2003. The initial term of Mr. Mastandrea’s employment is for two years and may be extended for terms of one year. Mr. Mastandrea’s base annual salary may be adjusted from time to time, except that the adjustment may not be lower than the preceding year’s base salary. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Mastandrea will be entitled to base salary and bonus at the rate in effect before any termination for a period of three years in the event that his employment is terminated without cause by us or for good reason by Mr. Mastandrea. Effective September 29, 2006, in lieu of an annual salary of $100,000 and to conserve cash, Mr. Mastandrea agreed to receive 44,444 Class C Convertible Preferred Shares for his services as an officer of Paragon through September 29, 2008. This agreement was amended to extend the service period and vesting period restriction dates to September 30, 2014, though the shares were fully amortized by the original date in 2008. | |
The employment agreement with John J. Dee was also modified on April 3, 2006 in a similar way to Mr. Mastandrea’s employment agreement as explained above, except he does not receive any Class C Convertible Preferred Shares for his services as an officer of Paragon. Mr. Dee’s base annual salary may be adjusted from time to time, except that the adjustment may not be lower than the preceding year’s base salary. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Dee will be entitled to base salary and bonus at the rate in effect before any termination for a period of three years in the event that his employment is terminated without cause by us or for good reason by Mr. Dee. The board of trustees approved in 2006 for Mr. Dee to receive compensation of $125 per hour, up to a maximum of $5,000 per month, though Mr. Dee has received no cash compensation under this arrangement in order to preserve the Company’s cash. |

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | |||||||||
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, management, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include deferred taxes and the related valuation allowance for deferred taxes, and these significant estimates, as well as other estimates and assumptions, may change in the near term. | |||||||||

Stock-Based Compensation, Policy | ' | ||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation – Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC 718 generally requires that these transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards. | |||||||||
Income Taxes, Policy | ' | ||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
Because we have not elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes, we account for income taxes using the liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. | |||||||||
The Company evaluates potential uncertain tax positions on an annual basis in conjunction with the board of trustees and its tax accountants. Authoritative literature provides a two-step approach to recognize and measure tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that required adjustments to our consolidated financial statements in 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||
At December 31, 2013, we have net operating losses totaling $2,450,000. While these losses created a deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance was applied against the asset because of the uncertainty of whether we will be able to use these loss carryovers, which will expire in varying amounts through the year 2033. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code regulations, Paragon will be limited to using $1.4 million of the prior net operating losses of $11,100,000. These same regulations also limit the amount of loss used in any one year. | |||||||||
We are also subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The provision for state and local taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance. | |||||||||
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the years before 2010 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. | |||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy | ' | ||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as it applies to our financial instruments, and Accounting Standards Codification 825 (“ASC 825”), Financial Instruments. ASC 820 defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 825 permits companies to irrevocably choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. ASC 825 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. | |||||||||
Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as 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 in the principal or most advantageous market. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. ASC 820 requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. | |||||||||
Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we have elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 825. No events occurred during 2013 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. | |||||||||
The following table provides information on those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. | |||||||||
