Note 13 - Investments and fair value

 

We account for our financial assets in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors: Level 1 represents assets valued at quoted prices in active markets using identical assets; Level 2 represents assets valued using significant other observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs; and, Level 3 represents assets valued using significant unobservable inputs.

 

The hierarchy of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Assets are listed as following:
