Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measures and records certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1
 - 
quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2
 
 - 
 
observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3
 
 - 
 
unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
The Company classifies assets and liabilities measured at fair value in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. No financial assets were measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The following tables set forth the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Conversion Feature of Notes
The Company entered into convertible notes in 2014.  The conversion features of the notes were evaluated and determined to be derivatives and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period.
The assumptions used in estimating the conversion feature of the notes at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded value of notes payable approximates the fair value as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.
