In accordance with FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Level 3 financial instruments consist of certain embedded conversion features.  The fair value of these imbedded conversion features are estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements,” during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments.  The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change to the conversion price based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments.  A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.  As noted in Note 7 – Convertible Debt and Note 8 – Derivative Liability, the December 1, 2014 amendment with HEP Investments eliminated the derivative liability.
