NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
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. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable, with use of the lowest possible level of significant input to determine fair value.
Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company had no Level 1 assets or liabilities as of February 28, 2021 or August 31, 2020.
Level 2 — Valuations for assets and liabilities obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company had no Level 2 assets or liabilities as of February 28, 2021 or August 31, 2020.
Level 3 — Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities. The Company had one Level 3 asset, Notes receivable - related party, and one liability, the contingent portion of the CAA, as of February 28, 2021.
The Company has determined the fair value of the reimbursable public improvements note receivable to be $17.8 million, compared to a carrying value of $21.5 million. The Company determined the fair value by estimating future cash flows discounted by a market rate. This note receivable does not have a stated repayment schedule and the Company relies on Sky Ranch CAB budgets and forecasted property tax revenues to estimate future cash flows. The Other notes receivables do not have a determinable fair value as the borrowing and repayments from the Rangeview District and the Sky Ranch CAB cannot be reasonably estimated.
The Company has determined that the contingent portion of the CAA does not have a determinable fair value (see Note 6 – Long-Term Obligations and Operating Lease).
The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using what management believes to be the best and most relevant data available.
